Minutes for the Meeting of October 2, 1989 2 SUBDIVISION OF LAND 240. Carriage Drive. Woodhaven Realty: Mrs. Nordby reported the applicant has asked permission to provide surety for completion of the subdivision by a letter of credit instead of a passbook. Mr. Sorensen said he preferred that surety be held in the form of a passbook, but he understood that the statute specifically authorized letters of credit as a means to hold surety. On the motion of Mr. Sorensen, seconded by Mrs. Klauminzer it was voted 4-0: That the Planning Board accepts as surety, for the completion of the Car- riage Drive subdivision, a Letter of Credit from the Depositors Trust Company dated August 22, 1989 in the amount of $62,000. This Letter of Credit is accepted in place of Depositors Trust Company Passbook #402- 4354. That acceptance of this substitute form of surety does not change either the amount of surety, $62,000, which is needed, or the period of time, through August 1, 1990, for which the surety is provided, as determined by vote of the Planning Board on July 31, 1989. The amount of $62,000 has been determined to be sufficient through August 1, 1990 only. If the subdivision is not completed by that time, the amount of surety needed will have to be reevaluated to determine its relationship between the then applicable construction costs and the work remaining to be completed. If little or none of the work that remained, at the time $62,000 of surety was originally posted, is completed by August 1, 1990, and the current costs of the amount of work to be completed has increased, the amount of surety will be increased to reflect the costs of completing the work and the developer will be required to furnish additional surety to the Planning Board. That the Revenue Officer is authorized to release to R & T Development Corporation Depositors Trust Company Passbook #402-4354 and the signed withdrawal slip upon receipt of the August 22, 1989 Letter of Credit.

Applications for the Meeting of October 26. 1989: Mrs. Klauminzer gave an oral review of the following applications to the Board of Appeals: 16 King Street, Marilyn Ritholz, SP, to use a portion of a residence as an office to see private clients one day a week. The Board expressed concern over potential traffic problems because of the property's proximity to Wilson Farm. On the motion of Mrs. Klauminzer, seconded by Mrs. Uhrig, it was voted 3-1 (Mr. Sorensen voted in the negative) to not object to the granting of the special permit, provided the day the applicant sees clients remains Tuesday, which is the day Wilson Farm is closed, and a condition for approval is that there may be no on-street parking. The Board also agreed to make no comment on the following applications also scheduled to be heard on October 26, 1989. 675 Lowell Street, Burlington Village Associates, SP, to install 5 internally lit wall signs and to allow a secondary wall sign to be the same width as the principal wall sign at a new retail building in the
