<br /> the current costs of the amount of work to be completed has increased,
<br /> the amount of surety will be increased to reflect the costs of complet-
<br /> ing the work and the developer will be required to furnish additional
<br /> surety to the Planning Board.
<br /> Concerns were expressed by Board members who recalled past incidents where
<br /> this type of surety was accepted and it "disappeared" before the work was
<br /> completed. The Board instructed the staff to investigate why this type of
<br /> surety was allowed by state statute, and the possibility of revising its
<br /> Development Regulations to not allow acceptance of this form of surety.
<br /> On the motion of Mr. Sorensen, seconded by Mrs. Uhrig, it was voted 4-0:
<br /> 1. to approve the language* to be placed in the deeds of the homeowners
<br /> which assigns the maintenance of structures and landscaping, and
<br /> 2. to release lots #5, 7, 13, 14, and 15.
<br /> *The language to be placed in the relevant deeds of the subdivision:
<br /> Grantee, by acceptance of this Deed, covenants for himself, his heirs
<br /> and assigns that any retaining walls, fences, trees and landscaping in
<br /> the right-of-way of the Orchard Crossing Subdivision, upon which the
<br /> grantee's property abuts, shall be maintained by grantee and that the
<br /> center island of the turnaround on Orchard Lane and the pedestrian
<br /> easement on lot 16, including that portion which lies within lot B,
<br /> shall be the responsibility of the grantees on lot 16. This covenant
<br /> shall apply to only so much of the right-of-way as borders upon the
<br /> property conveyed herein. This covenant shall run with the land and the
<br /> cost of maintaining said center island, pedestrian easement, retaining
<br /> walls, fences, trees and landscaping shall be a charge on such property
<br /> regardless of who may own such property at the time the maintenance
<br /> expense is incurred.
<br /> 183. Dover Lane, Pleasant Street: Ms. Nordby reported that any plants that
<br /> did not make it through the winter have been replaced, and they seem to have
<br /> taken hold, so she recommends the surety be released. On the motion of Mrs.
<br /> Klauminzer, seconded by Mrs. Uhrig, it was voted 4-0:
<br /> Based on the inspection and approval of the condition of the landscape
<br /> planting at the Graystone Subdivision by the Town Superintendent of
