Commission releases $30,000 erosion-and-sediment bond for AJ Holdings, conditions $3,500 rain-garden hold on engineering sign-off
Summary
The commission approved release of a $30,000 E&S bond for AJ Holdings but handled a second $3,500 rain-garden hold by conditioning release on final sign-off from the town engineer and zoning enforcement officer after DPW recommended regrading and replanting.
The Planning & Zoning Commission considered two bond-release reduction requests from AJ Holdings tied to prior application PZ1834SD. Town DPW recommended release of the E&S bond in the amount of $30,000; the commission moved and voted to release that bond with no stipulations.
A separate retention/rain-garden bond of $3,500 prompted discussion after DPW recommended a hold so regrading and replanting could be completed. The applicant described delays, staff turnover and personal hardship during the multi-year process and asked for fairness after holding the money for years. The commission resolved the issue by approving release of the bond conditional on final approval by the town engineer and the zoning enforcement officer so staff professionals could confirm the rain-garden work before funds are returned.
Commission records show the $30,000 release passed by voice vote and the $3,500 matter was approved subject to professional sign-off; no fines or interest were assessed in the public discussion.
