Concerns of abutter Mr. Merrill were that he is down hill from the project and what happens if the septic systems fail and get into his water also what happens if they tap into his water source while drilling all the wells. Mr. Austin assured Mr. Merrill if he lost well water volume he would do what he needed to be done to compensate him and bring the volume back.
The Attorney Generals office is responsible for the contract of the association and to see that the project is finished. This will be listed as a 55 and older development, but there is a clause that states a small percentage needs to be available to other ages.

Concerns about the road not being finished, the town engineer will work with the project through it entirety even though it will be a private road.
All of the new construction will have self-supporting sprinkler systems, and the fire chief is pleased with that but there also needs to be a fire pond on the property for the original structure. If self supporting sprinkler systems are not installed a cistern with its own well will be required at the top of the lot for maximum volume, along with the fire pond. Mr. Austin will give the town a letter stating no houses will be built until the fire pond is in place.
