The motion for endorsement is contingent upon the following conditions: 1. Negotiation and execution of a development agreement between Princeton Development LLC and the Town of Wilmington; 2.

The conditions as established in the development agreement are requirements of the Board of Selectmen to obtain their endorsement of the proposed project pursuant to the Local Initiative Program (LIP). The Board of Selectmen's endorsement neither creates nor imposes any limitations on the authority of the Board of Appeals to review and vote on a comprehensive permit application subsequent to this endorsement. 3. That this endorsement be declared null and void and immediately rescinded should the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) not approve the Board of Selectmen's endorsement inclusive of each condition and the development agreement or failure of DHCD to approve the Board of Selectmen's endorsement by April 30, 2020. 4. Compliance with the rules, regulations and by-laws of the Town of Wilmington unless the same are waived by the Board of Appeals pursuant to the Board's statutory regulatory authority. 5. And to authorize the Town Manager to negotiate the terms of a development agreement and to execute the same on behalf of the Board of Selectmen and further to execute such forms or documents as may be required by DHCD as evidence of the Board's endorsement of the project.
