Willow Street Extension - Discussion.,wjth 9pplicant
Mr. Ben Osgood was present and told the Board that he has met
with the Highway Surveyor and he has given him direction as to
how to do the shoulders and sloping, which is contrary to the
Rules and Regulations. He would like to come to an agreement
as to how the work will be done. The Highway Surveyor wants to
sheet flow the water from the sides. It is now on a catch basin
system. In addition, the Highway Surveyor wants to do it the
new way in the future (without catch basins). Mr. Osgood feels
the water will go on the abutter's property.
Member Nitzsche stated that the work should be done according
to the Rules and Regulations.
Chairman Hedstrom instructed the Town Planner to discuss the
situation with the Highway Surveyor.

Attorney Thomas Callahan was present and told ~he Board that the
June 28,19'83
-3-
Regular Meeting
Highway Surveyor reported the cost of 2,000 linear feet of road
and the Board of Public Works reported on 1,800. This letter
from the Board of Public Works is the cost of the 200 foot
shortfall between the 2,000 and the 1,800.
This represents the back section of the road behind the Zachary
property. The bond request before the Board tonight is for both
portions.
A letter from the Highway Surveyor is on record (dated June 6, 1983).
Secretary's note: Atty. Callahan represents Bear Hill Development,
Inc.
Attorney Gersten for Zachary Alexanian was also present and told
the Board that at the last meeting, it was requested that the
parties get together and work out an arrangement for the bond
amounts. Since the land is owned by two individuals (Zachary
and Johnson), it was determined that one bond amount is required.
The full amount of the bond as determined by the town would be
held by the bank and pledged to the town and released only upon
approval by the Highway Surveyor and the B.oard of Public Works.
He asked if the Subdivision Control Agreement should be done in
three separate amounts or in one amount. Since Bear Hill Devel-
opment, Inc. is the owner of the back portion, they want one
bond amount for Zachary, which they are prepared to post and one
amount for the 2,000 linear feet which would be added to the
figure. The $320,000 + cannot be posted until the purchase
occurs. In addition, they need permission from the town to
commence work on the front portion.
Member Burke suggested one figure broken down and Chairman Hed-
strom said he wants one bond for one applicant. He wants to
make sure the Highway Surveyor and Board of Public Works set
a bond figure for the entire subdivision.
Atty. Callahan then requested that the sanctions be set in place
so that they can go to the lending sources. Atty. Gersten requested
to post the bond for his portion tonight and release the 34 lots.
MOTION: by Mr. Burke to accept the bond subject to the approval
and verification of the tri-party agreement, leaving
the details to the Town Planner and Chairman for the
first 34 lots, and subsequently release the 34 lots from
the covenant, and if the Town Planner, Chairman, and
Member Nitzsche are satisfied, they have the power to
execute the tri-party agreement.
