Training Session for Department Heads: Mr. Bowyer reported that he attended a one day training session, called Customer Satisfaction Program, which was set up by the Town Manager to improve the quality of service given by Town employees to the public. In line with this , Mr. Bowyer proposed that a questionnaire be prepared by the planning staff and distributed to Town Meeting Members, to evaluate how helpful the Planning Board's Reports on Articles are for Town Meeting Members when deciding how they will vote on zoning articles. ***************** ADMINISTRATION OF LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS ************* SUBDIVISION OF LAND 120. North Street, Manganello: The Board reviewed a memo from the Engineer- ing Department dated April 25, 1989. On the motion of Mr. Sorensen, seconded by Mrs. Klauminzer, it was voted 3-0 to set surety at $43,000, and to accept surety in the form of a bank pass book, with a withdrawal slip made out to the Town, and to authorize the Planning Director to release lots A, B, and C, upon receipt of said pass book. 121. Ingleside Subdivision: Mr. Bowyer reported that normally when a subdivision is approved, there is a covenant shown on the plans, which pledges the developer to build the subdivision in accordance with the plan, as approved. Subsequently, the developer provides surety and lots are released by the Planning Board so that they may be sold to homebuyers. When all work is complete, the surety is released, and the street may be accepted by the Town. Sometime there was not a specific vote to release the covenant. In this case, there was a general Planning Board vote to release all lots, with no specific reference made to the release of lot 43A. Ingleside Road has been accepted as a Town street. The vote tonight will release the covenant, and specifically reaffirm that Lot 43A has been released, as well as all other lots in the subdivision. On the motion of Mr. Sorensen, seconded by Mrs. Klauminzer, it was voted 3-0 to release the covenant, and to release all lots in the Ingle- side Subdivision, including Lot 43A.
