IV. APPOINTMENTS
Collamore Estates
Update for Residents
Board members reviewed a June 9, 2008 report from Seth Kruger of Merrill Associates, their review engineer on Collamore Estates, relative to a recent sub-drain installation on Captain Nathaniel Drive. Included with the report were several photographs showing the construction process of the eight inch roadway perimeter subdrain. The report stated that during inspections of the subdrain it was noticed that the outfall of the subdrain in the catch basin was flowing and demonstrated that the newly installed subdrain was intercepting groundwater. Peter Palmieri of Merrill Associates, who was in attendance for another matter, said that the contractor had finished on Friday, June 6, 2008 and had done a good job. Board members asked if there were other issues in the
subdivision and were told by Mr. Palmieri that the cracks in the roadway should be sealed and that there were problems with a couple of catch basins that should be corrected. Board members noted that the total cost of the subdivision installation was $14,840.00 with the balance in the bond account for the subdivision at $20,070.53 as of May 30, 2008. The board decided not to act on a request from Mr. Konish for the release of the balance in the bond account so that the installer can be paid.
