# 1 Zadeda Farms Continued. Barry Gier brought the board up to date. Notes requested at the October 20 meeting have been added . The word “private” on the roadway be removed because some day they may request it be taken over by the Town. Requesting a waiver on the length (1000’) of roadway. Construction estimates for bonding. Monumentation estimate for bonding. Bob Varney spoke about the documents, they were sent to Town Counsel on Nov. 3, Bob spoke to him today and he had no problems with them but he had not had a directive from the PB. He will put something in writing after he gets direction. Certain items in the documents have been noted on the plans as per request. Wilson asked where the process is with State approvals? Barry: Has been in touch with State and it is probably a couple of weeks away. Will put all State approval numbers on the final plans. Wilson moved to grant waiver for length of the road. Rick 2^nd. All in favor. Fire Chief needs to sign off on the length of the roadway.

Sue did final checklist.

Bob Varney explained that anything over 15 lots has to have Attorney General approval, after the Town has signed off with bonding etc. then the Attorney General signs off so that lots can be sold. Subdivision has changed it’s name from Zadeda Farms to Tuftonboro Farms. The applicants proposed road names do no conflict with any already existing in Town. Rick moved to accept road names. John 2^nd. All in favor.

They are requesting phasing of the bonding, more than half of the costs would be bonded first than remainder after first part is finished. Wilson moved to waive our condition of 100% ( 3.4.3b) in favor of their proposed phasing performance guarantee. Rick 2^nd. All in favor.

Board discussed whether they wanted someone else to look at the cost estimates. Wilson asked Barry what is common practice? He replied that it’s usually standard costs and usually you don’t have to have someone else do it. He was willing to have someone else review it. Dan moved that maybe it could just be email or a phone conversation between HEB and Barry to make sure everything has been accounted for. John 2^nd. All in favor.

Construction costs will have a stamped signature.

Wilson moved to grant conditional approval based on: All plans be stamped and signed by all. State approvals with numbers on plans. Approval of documents; covenants, easements and bonding by Town counsel. All cost estimates acceptable, construction & monuments. John 2^nd. All in favor
