The Board is in receipt of a memo from Hayes Development requesting a Bond Reduction and a place on tonight’s agenda pursuant to this issue. The Board is in receipt of a memo from Robert LaBossiere of the DPW dated December 15, 2003 and indicating the DPW’s recommendation that the bond for Pheasant Trail not be reduced at this time. The Board is in receipt of a memo from Ms. Simpson reflecting her phone call earlier today with Mr. Beaton of Hayes Development during which he withdrew Hayes Development from tonight’s agenda.
The Board has received a request from Timothy Butland, developer of the Day’s Circle subdivision, to be released from the tri-partite agreement for that development. The Board noted that the subdivision was approved, and the bond released, one year ago.
Richard Gelpke, seconded by Robert D’Amelio, moved to send a letter to Hudson Savings Bank releasing Timothy Butland and Hudson Savings Bank from the tri-partite agreement for the Day’s Circle subdivision.
Vote: 3-0-0, Unanimous.
The Board is in receipt of a memo from Ms. Simpson informing them that Mr. Ansari has requested a bond reduction for the Falls Brook subdivision.
The Board briefly discussed current concerns relative to the subdivision. The Board expressed its opinion that it is unlikely that it will recommend that the bond be reduced at this time.
The Board will send a memo to Tony Marques asking for an update on Falls Brook detailing any outstanding issues and indicating whether the developer is in compliance with Board’s order of conditions. The Board will send a memo to Jeff Wood asking for an update on the status of the retaining walls at Lots 16 and 17.
7: 45 Approvals Not Required:
107 Washington Street and 3 Brigham Street
Present: Dave Zanca, Zanca Land Surveyors
Mr. Zanca presented the ANR to the Board. The ANR involves a swap between two brothers to redefine the properties to reflect the way the land is customarily used in spite of current lot lines, in preparation for a sale of one of the lots.
Mr. de Bakker asked if the cottage on the site conforms to the Zoning By-Laws. Mr. D’Amelio felt that the cottage probably reflected a pre-existing non-conforming use.
There is enough frontage and the lot size appropriate.
Mr. de Bakker confirmed that the ANR conforms to regulations governing the subdivision of land in Hudson.
Richard Gelpke, seconded by Robert D’Amelio, moved to accept the ANRs for 107 Washington Street and 3 Brigham Street as drawn and to authorize the agent to sign the respective plans.
Vote: 3-0-0, Unanimous.

Mr. D’Amelio does not have any concerns with the plan.
