the Developer and the Township.
One change agreed on was to refer to Terry L.Herman,
Engineer for Petersons, as a Professional Engineer in the
Contract.
Another change agreed on was to require ninety feet
(90') cul-de-sacs instead of one hundred (100') feet.
The streets shall be thirty-two (32') wide with a
twenty-four (24') foot mat and four (4') foot shoulders and a
three (3") inch mat. The maintenance of the streets shall be
the responsibility of the Developer until that time when the
Township agrees to accept the streets and assume maintenance.
All shoulders and slopes should be seeded with an
approved seed mixture.
The Developer shall be required to place in escrow a
Letter of Credit in the amount approved by the Township.
The Developer agrees to pay a fee of $500.00 per lot,
this fee to offset the impact each unit will have on the
current and future expenses of the Township.
The Town Board felt that each lot owner should be
required to have an attched double garage. Mr. Peterson
agreed but was concerned who would be responsible for
enforcement of this provision. If the Developer was
responsible it wuld jeopordize the money they have placed in
escrow as a Letter of Credit.
Mr. Radzwill suggested that perhaps the Township could
assume that responsibility when the Development reaches the
point where over one half the lots have been sold and homes
built on them.
More discussions will be held on the Development
Contract.
Proceeding as a Board of Audit, the Town Board Audited
and allowed certified Accounts No's. 267 to 288 inclusive.
On motion the meeting adjourned.
