Also present for Deer Run Developers was Mr. Tom Hurley. <br />Mr. DiGiulio put Deer Run's case: <br />• All lots should have been released once the bond had been posted. <br />• In addition to the posted bond, there are still three other lots to be released. <br />• As requested by the Board when the Board approved the release of Lot#8 [August 11, 2008], <br />they have met with the Town Engineer and submitted a construction schedule. <br />• Work is proceeding and some concerns of the Town Engineer have already been addressed <br />(e.g. all manholes but one are now up to grade and accessible). <br />• An opportunity to sell the lot may fall through if it is not released soon. <br />In a memo to the Board dated 9/8/2008, the Town Engineer wrote Deer Run's construction schedule <br />was acceptable but he still recommends against the release of any further lots until the curbing and <br />binder course of the sidewalk has been installed. <br />The Board requested the Town Engineer meet with them at a future meeting to discuss and clarify the <br />requirements for releasing lots. Although uncomfortable to go against the Town Engineer's <br />recommendation, the consensus of the Board was to release Lot#7. <br />Page 1 of 4 <br />
