The next item on the agenda is the Dartmouth Brook (DB) Subdivision Bond. Mike Brunetti and Tom Watson, Attorney, wanted to go over the transfer of the property and the bond for Dartmouth Brook, from Bretton Woods Land Co, LLC (BWLC) to CNL Income BW Development TRS Corp. (hereinafter “CNL”). An amendment to the Bond was done to change the principal on whose behalf the Bond was issued from BWLC to CNL. A General Purpose Rider was issued on August 29, 2011. Also, Attorney Watson wanted to make sure the date of completion will be correct. On July 3, 2008 the approval for the DB Subdivision was given which now legally gives the subdivision the date of July 1, 2014 (RSA 674:39). Evan Karpf explained that if the original site plan was changed, they would need to come back to the Planning Board and Attorney Watson agreed.

Erik Bergum made a motion to: extend the “substantial completion” date of Phase 1 of the Dartmouth Brook Subdivision, to July 1, 2014. Ernie Temple seconded and the motion passed unanimously.

Vice Chair Karpf told Attorney Watson he would need to:
1. Make sure the name of the new owner is on the bond
2. Make sure the new date of July 1, 2014 is reflected on the bond
3. Make sure a copy of this is sent to Bernie Waugh, Town Counsel

Mike Brunetti was here to have the Bond released from BWLC to CNL. Evan said after his consultation with Bernie Waugh that the Town could release the bond from BWLC to CNL, as BWLC no longer owned the land. Erik Bergum made a motion to: recommend to the Town of Carroll Select Board to release Bretton Woods Land Co, LLC obligation from the Bond for the Dartmouth Brook Subdivision and to approve the amended changes to the Bond. Ernie Temple seconded and the motion passed unanimously.

Next on the agenda the PLBD was to go over the town Zoning Regulations, Site Plan Regulations and the Subdivision Regulations.

Evan asked the where we stood on the subdivision done by Andy Nadeau for Map 211, Lot 20/20.2 where the subdivision was approved but not recorded.
