Sufficient surety, in the amount of $162,272, has been deposited in joint account at the Citizens Bank on January 17, 2007 to secure performance of the construction of the ways and installation of municipal services required to serve certain lots in accordance with the provisions of the Covenant executed on July 31, 2006. Mr. Canale joined the meeting. DETERMINATION OF GRADE AND CONSTRUCTION OF UNACCEPTED STREETS 42 Wachusetts Drive, Map 33, Lot 245: Ms. Manz said a request was made by the applicant to determine if the road was of adequate grade and construction. Mr. Zurlo said it appeared to be as adequate as roads in other neighborhoods. The corner seems fine, but there is an undefined edge to the asphalt. The frontage of the property could be reloamed to build up the edge. Mr. Canale said that the pavement on the other side of the road had eroded down two layers. Mr. Canale said it should be patched and approved by Engineering.
