Mr. Balzarini inquired whether that meant there would be time to complete the intersection and Mr. Rowley responded that, at the last meeting, Mr. Lehrer agreed to coordinate planning for the intersection between Ms. Laurent and Mr. Marsters. Today's security amount would be for work completed to date. The Chair inquired about the suggested improvements to the intersection at Old Barnstable and Mr. Lehrer confirmed that he had followed up with Mr. Marsters about the intersection, but that restrictions from the pandemic prevented the coordination of a meeting. Mr. Marsters stated that he was willing to work with the Town on the intersection, noting that the plan had already been established. Mr. Marsters added that the intersection would be addressed before the addition of higher rates of traffic. Mr. Rowley also recommended removal of vegetation on the southerly side of the intersection, improving the sight line. Mr. Marsters confirmed that they would remove the vegetation and were also working on signage with lighting. Mr. Marsters also indicated that he would discuss with Ms. Laurent and work with the golf course regarding removal of vegetation on their property. There was consensus from the Board that Mr. Rowley continue to work with Mr. Marsters on this project. Mr. Marsters confirmed that he would deliver a check to Mr. Lehrer on the following day. MOTION: Mr. Balzarini made a motion for a Release of Covenant for 26 lots with a security of $243,357. Mr. Callahan seconded the motion. Mr. Rowley inquired about establishing a time limit for completing the work and Mr. Marsters responded that he was unsure of the binder, and wished to build the houses before the finish coat, but noted that some of the work had already been completed. Mr. Rowley suggested including a two year limit in the motion, with a review at the end of two years. The Chair inquired whether the paper work allowed for a time limit and Mr. Lehrer responded that the document did not allow for conditions. Mr. Rowley stated his belief that it was a general Condition of Statute,but if the Board did not see it as necessary, it was not a requirement. The Chair noted the benefit of a time limit as the costs for construction would increase over time. Mr. Marsters stated that he was very motivated to complete the work as soon as possible and the Chair suggested that the Board place a two year limit for the security but Mr. Marsters asked that there be a review at two years or sooner. Mr. Rowley stated that it would be acceptable. Mr. Balzarni agreed to a two year review rather than a limit. MOTION: Mr. Balzarini made a motion to give a two year review process to see how far the project has gone, to return funds, but that, in between the two years, he could return to the Board for funds for work completed. The amount of$243,357 would be accepted as a bond for a Release of Covenant for 26 lots as shown on the map. Mr. Callahan seconded the motion. Roll call vote: Mr. Balzarini-yes; Mr. Cummings-yes; Mr. Callahan-yes; Chairman Waygan-yes Mr. Lehrer coordinated acceptance for the security.
