The Town of Lakeville Planning Board voted April 10, 2025, to conditionally approve release of performance‑guarantee funds for the 13 Main Street project, contingent on review and confirmation from the town’s peer‑review consultant, Apex.

Planning staff said Apex provided a checklist and a punch list and that the applicant submitted photographic evidence to satisfy outstanding items rather than extending the consultant’s contract for more in‑person visits. A board member moved to release funds once Apex confirms the contractor has completed the remaining items; another member seconded and the motion carried.

The board’s action authorizes staff to release the funds after Apex’s verification and preserves the board’s ability to withhold any portion of the guarantee if the consultant identifies unresolved deficiencies.
