Board members reviewed construction observations from P.M.P. Associates for Millennium Estates. Mrs. Ferguson told the Board that she had spoken to Michael Perrault of P.M.P. Associates earlier in the day and was told that all of the items on his final list had been completed and in his opinion the development was ready for acceptance at town meeting on Monday, May 1, 2006. But Members Joan DiLillo and Gerard LeBlanc said they had made site visits and were not ready to sign the asbuilt plans or to recommend approval at town meeting. Joan DiLillo said there were cracks near the cul de sac and inconsistency in the overlay of pavement. Gerard LeBlanc said the detention basins were sloping the wrong way, a manhole was sinking, and the sidewalk was too
narrow in some areas. Mrs. Ferguson reported there was $20,000 remaining in the bond for the subdivision.
