This subdivision was legally abandoned pursuant to S335 of the Real Property Law on October 31, 1980 with respect to Lots numbered 13-32 inclusive, including all of the proposed streets, roads, recharge basin and park ~nd recreation area. The Town Board, by Resolution on October 5, 1982, autho- rized the full release of a performance bond heretofore posted .by Greenbriar Homes, Inc. in the sum of $142,000, which was to cover the installation of the improvements above set forth. None of the aforementioned improvements in connection with this subdivision were commenced by the developer. In the light of this fact, there were obviously no inspections required to be made by any appropriate Town officer. In the circumstances, the inspection fee paid by the developer, in the sum of $5,680, should be fully refunded. The refund is also fully supported by the fact that a $6,600 deposit was made by the developer to the Town Board in lieu of the requirement of any park and recreation area. By the same token, as heretofore indicated, no streets, roads or re- charge basins were ever installed which would require an inspec- tion. .~ ,4 . . ,:::;.=:~--~-~.~::-::=::==.=::=-~=~=~~--- - ~----_::=-:::::.=.::=-~-_.-"-----~-..:..;..:';::: Town Board Town of Southold June 21, 1985 Page. two We trust that the Board will give this matter its most immediate attention and reply and if there is agreement as to any such refund, that it be made promptly to the under- signed for delivery to Greenbriar Homes, Inc.
