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.
