Brookside Estates
Developer Donald Shute met with the Board to discuss surety for the release of lots in Brookside Estates. Town Planner Noreen O’Toole said that it is the policy of the Treasurer-Collector’s office to accept only cash for a bond. Mr. Shute noted that some other communities allow a developer to pledge lots within the subdivision. She said the town would not be interested in the use of property for collateral and suggested the possibility of a partial release of lots with a cash bond. The most recent construction estimate prepared by review engineer, Michael Perrault of P.M.P. Associates totaled $326,502.25. At the conclusion of the discussion Mr. Shute said that he would meet with Treasurer-Collector Jean Sullivan and then come back
to the Board.
