The hearing was to discuss the application of Subdivision Surety to the completion of outstanding work under MGL Ch 41 
Sections 81U and 81Y at Stone Farm Estates, Massachusetts Avenue.   
 
In December 2017 the developer , Lisciotti Development Corporation, came before the Board to request a red uction in the Bond 
for the completion of the subdivision.  At that time Graves Engineering did an inspection to determine construction completeness.  
Graves Engineering provided a review letter to the Board enumerating outstanding construction items  totaling appr oximately 
$27,000 for completion, therefore, the Bond was reduced with that amount to be retained.  (A letter was presented to the Boar d 
by Donald Gurney, President of the Condominium Trust identifying the same items.)  In February 2018 A. Burney sent a letter t o 
the Project Manager requesting items be completed by 1 June 2019.  To date, that work has not been completed by the 
developer and no contact has been made with the Planning Office.  Under MGL, the Town can claim the remaining funds and 
hire a contractor to complete the work.  Once that work is completed, if any funds remain, they w ill be returned to Lisciotti.  If  the 
Board votes to take the Bond, the next step is to notify Lisciotti and he is given 45 days to complete the work.  If Lisciotti chooses 
not to complete the work , Town Counsel will take steps to claim the Bond.  P. Bertram made Motion to claim the funds in the 
Surety Bond.   
 
Donald Gurney, 37 Riley Road- Reiterated the various outstanding items listed in Graves Engineering letter  and his concern that 
$27,000 will not be sufficient.   
 
T. Cole made Motion to close the Hearing, P. Bertram Seconded, all aye.
