Section 5 of the performance bond agreement specified that : the term of this bond shall be for a period of three ( 3 ) years from the date of execution herein , and may extended by the Planning Board of the Town of Dryden with the consent of • the parties hereto . With the change of ownership and purchase of additional bonds , the plans laid out by C . W . Sadd have not been developed as scheduled . Other roads have been built while roads covered by the bonds have not been started . • We understand that it has been the past practice of the Town of Dryden not to require performance bonds of other developers . The Yellow Barn Development Corpor - ation was not required to post bond for its recent new road construction . All roads in the Yellow Barn Development subdivision are subject to approval of Mr .

W . Sadd at this time . . - • . L .- . - - .. • . ■ . - ( , V V u V 1. . 1 . - C - . • . • -- 1i . - ; V V • a . . I C (. 1. s . . , • . . - 1 . .V .. ( ' . V V 1, L .. . C. .% • V . • .. ..
