not be resolved until such time as construction of Silverleaf Lane is completed. fie suggested that loam and seed behind the Cape Cod berm would be helpful. He is uncertain about the conditions (thickness)of the mix as this work was done prior to his inspection. Mr. Hopple interjected that he was under the impression that the Board had agreed to wait until spring to determine how the materials held up over the winter. If it proved to be satisfactory his security would be released. The Town Planner read the Motion made by Dennis Balzarini at the September 5th Meeting, "To reduce the Performance Guarantee to Two Thousand($2,000.00) Dollars until April 2,2008 at which time the Planning Board will reconsider releasing the balance of funds based upon the condition of the road; which Motion was duly seconded by Thomas O'Hara and so voted unanimously". The Planning Board also determined Applicant to be responsible for Mr. Rowley's,re-inspection fee of the property in the amount of$100.00. In prior discussion Mr. Rowley recommended the Board consider releasing the majority of the funds only after determination of said roadwork holds up through the winter months,to which the Board agreed. There was Board discussion as to whether or not a core sample should be taken in order to determine the thickness of the pavement. Mr. Rowley stated the requirement for loam and seed was part of his initial inspection for work remaining to be done and was included in the initial list. He feels this work has not been done adequately or to the extent it should be. It would not take much of an effort to bring the loam and seed to the top of the berm. Everything else has been completed. The four bounds have been set, the street sign is in place, the berm is in place and has been extended. He feels Applicant has clone as much as possible given the fact of the condition of Silverleaf Lane. Thomas O'Hara agreed that the area behind the berm should be filled in order to better stabilize the road; to which Mr. Hopple agreed. Mr. Rowley explained that he has no way of knowing what has been put down for materials as he was not notified to make an inspection at the time. The loam and seeding of the shoulders does have to be completed as outlined in the original estimate and has not been completed as of this date. The Chairman agreed that the Board would need to know what has been placed on the roadway for materials. She asked if Applicant knew the thickness,the standard to which the pavement was placed. Mr. flopple responded that he didn't know, he just instructed the paving company to do the work,
