Mauro Farms
The City Solicitor was asked by the Board to review the Tri-Partite agreement between the Board, the Developer and the Bank. In his research for the agreement he found a mistake in the Covenant, which cited the wrong subdivision plans. The signed and recorded plans show plan #75 of 2008 consists of 7 Sheets; C4-A through C4-F, not Sheets C5-A&B as stated on the covenant. He explained he drafted an Amended Covenant that should be signed by the developer and the Board, recorded with the registry and a copy of the recording should be in place before the Board signs the Tri-Partite agreement. Once the Planning Board has the recorded document, he stated the Board can then approve and sign the Tri-Partite agreement.

To accept and file correspondence; to approve and sign the Amended Covenant.
