Zalun of P. 0. BOX 1108 F, MASHPEE. MA 02649 PLANNING BOARD MINUTES : 5/l/85 P. 6 and we don't allow a developer to abandon it if a way is traveled whether an ancient way or even a woods road . We 'll insist on that being shown on the plans so the public has notice that the rights exist . The main thing I see here is an additional hearing called for where you're looking to relocate a road . It looks like something we 've been missing. Like Bryant 's Cove - they want to cut it down toward the water a little more . So I guess we should be looking for them to have a hearing before the Board of Selectmen if that 's what the state requires . Mr. Fudala: Legally you have to go through the right steps . Mr. Dubin: That makes some sense to me . That 's the one thing on that plan that bothered me always .

As Earle was saying we all subscribe to the theory that some of these ancient ways are going to be paved and improved. If they're just simply left where they are their present alignment is followed then we think that 's within the owner's rights . Hoever it may be a good idea to call for an additional hearing when there 's going to be a relocation. As I see it that 's still the main question that somebody would look at on this article . Because otherwise we already subscribe to the sense of the article . The only practical question is whether we want to have the Selectmen get involved in the process of evaluating these relocations . Ms . Averett : Are you saying if you have another hearing this article will not be able to come up at town meeting? Mr. Fudala: No, he 's talking about an individual hearing on a particular
