Board considers conditional compliance and paving bond to allow Mitsubishi Tire addition to open
Summary
Members discussed granting conditional compliance for a near‑finished Mitsubishi Tire addition and using a bond or escrow to guarantee outstanding paving; the board agreed conditional compliance with a paving estimate and escrow is an option for a certificate of occupancy.
The planning board discussed options to allow Mitsubishi Tire’s nearly finished addition to receive a certificate of occupancy while ensuring outstanding paving is completed.
A committee member said the project is close and proposed holding a compliance hearing and providing conditional compliance tied to bonding the remaining paving costs. The board noted two mechanisms: grant conditional compliance with a fixed completion date or require the developer to post an escrowed bond based on a contractor’s paving estimate so the town can complete the work if necessary.
Members said conditional compliance has been used previously for minor outstanding conditions, provided the deficiency does not relate to erosion or other safety concerns. The board agreed to schedule a compliance hearing and ask the developer to submit an estimate for the paving so an escrow amount can be set if needed.
Next steps: schedule a compliance hearing (possible dates discussed), ask the developer to supply a paving estimate and consider bonding or escrow as a condition of compliance.
