New construction up the hill from Weirs

[HUH]

I could never understand why towns dont require a finished road and drainage before construction begins.
Starting to look better up there now.

Putting a finished road and drainage in before the construction begins would be like carpeting your new house after the framing is done.
When the lumber delivery trucks and the 75,000 pound concrete trucks show up to make deliveries on a hot day, think of the mess it will make of the new pavement. The rear 8 wheels on those trucks scrub whenever they aren't going straight and even the front tires turning when the vehicle isn't moving will dig up the pavement. The city would end up with some lousy new roads.
As for the drainage, most construction sites will absorb rain and run off is minimal. If you put the drainage in before the construction is complete the catch basins and pipes will be full of gravel.

Laconia and most towns require performance bonds, there is a longer answer but that is short easy one.
