By BERME GILLIS Sun Groton Correspondent GROTON The recent special meeting of the' Groton Planning Board svas told by an official of the U.S. Postal Service, in answer to direct questioning from Planning Board Chairman Christine Bullen, that "yes a legal binding agreement to build the post office" does exist with proponent Walter Wiewcll. Martin i Smith, general manager ol Boston Area Facilities Office Lexington, made the comment.

Smith said his department docs not make the final judgment on the selection of proposed sites tor new facilities. Instead, the "operations division," which Smith told The Sun at the conclusion of the meeting is charged with "moving the mail," is the final authority. Smith disclosed the district manager, "who makes the operational decision" in two separate bidding or "proposal" procedures approved proposals submitted by Wciwell. The present agreement (signed last July) between the Postal Service an independent agency of the executive branch of the federal government and Weiwoll is "an agreement lo lease," according to SmithAfter the facility is built, a formal leasing agreement is then signed. SMITH SAlt) IN contemplating construction of "small" postal facilities' square feetl traffic considerations don't carry "as heavy an impact in the decision making process as say, a potential facility for construction wilh access onto Route 128.

Smith added Ihc prime consideration is "that them ail operation can be handled expeditiously." As for the 'proponent," Wciwell, Smith said he must, under penalty of default, carry out the performance requirements contained in thc pre lcasiog contract. Smith noted the "proponent" is responsible for correct zoning. If he doesn't perform then that's his problem. He's liable if he's not able to perform. If he's picked a site and be.

can't come through he is in Selectman Hoberl Margraves' sphere of questioning centered on safety factors specifically egress and ingress considerations. "Beyond this veil of despair, a strong willed, spirited people struggle wilh humor and sweat striving lo overcome the ghelto mentality 'and working In belter their communities, their slreeb, their homes, their health and their lives I was and am one of those striving people. As a doctor I could be more effective." ACCORDING TO Abu Bakh Ali, "He was an independent, a fighter. We used lo (ell him to lock his door he would leave his door open. We lold him to buy a gun for protection.

He me a hullet proof vest because he told me lie was afraid for my safely because he war a white man in my group. I lold him it was ridiculous to wear ohe'bccausc they usually shoot you in (he head. When.fbny tulri me how he had been killed, I though how ironic it was lo get him where the vest could have protected him." Abdul Rahman earned the title Hajji because he had made the hajj or pilgrimage lo Mecca which every Muslim is supposed to make if he is able. He made, the hajj in 1073 and was a guesl of the King of Saudi Arabia during hi', visit. Postal Service has binding agreement to lease proposed Groton Post Office Smith answered ihe post office is satisfied there is a large parking area and adequate entrance and exit areas in the plans for the site, beted off route 119.

"From everything we could see, there is adequate line of sight from entrance and ciit," Smith responded, adding (he postal service is aware that if the development "goes through" a flashing or even trallic light signal might have to he installed.
