Hardtcourt Estates Request for extension of completion date
A letter from E.Z. Street Construction requesting an extension of
the completion as well as a bond release, dated November 1, 1982,
was read by the Clerk.
Note: Chairman Hedstrom arrived here.
Mr. Cyr stated that the extension, if granted, should contain
conditions. Also, he does not recommend a bond release at this
time.
Mr. Cyr has provided the developer, Mr. Scott Follansbee, with a
list of items and accompanying costs to be completed in the sub-
division, which the Board reviewed.
MOTION:
by Mr. Burke that, subject to Mr. Cyr checking the con-
crete cover, the $1,200.00 for the cover will be released
and the difference between the $46,000.00 we are holding
and the $43,965.00 that Mr. Cyr estimated will also be
released.
SECOND: by Mr. McDonough
DISCUSSION - Mr. Cyr stated that he met at the site a month ago
with the developer and the Town Planner. The list he provided
is a result of that meeting. There are, however, other things
which are not included on the list, such as the utility pole.
He said the Board should take the bond and do the necessary
crucial work. He added that if the work is done and approved,
he will consider a bond release.
Mr. Follansbee, the developer, stated that the point of the meeting
with Mr. Cyr and the Town Planner was to determine all the items
needed to complete the subdivision and to figure out what the costs
would be. AnO'ther intent was to obtain a release of an adequate
amount of money. He thinks the Highway Surveyor's figures are
inflated.
