Attorney Bob Stewart-Spoke to the Board regarding the exact location of the property. . . (map shown) Mr. Wood ownes 30C;--400 ' of road frontage from New Aviation Road back to Old Aviation Road . . .My purpose here tonight is to get an indication from the Board how they feel about extending sewer service to this parcel of land, and if acceptable how would this be accompli.sheti? It is Mr. Wood' s expectation that he would have to pay to bring the pipe to his property. . . in a price that we could live with. . . Councilman Monahan-Questioned the Town Attorney regarding a contract vs . extension of a district . . . Town Attorney Paul Dusek-noted that it appeared that easements may have to be obtained to serve the property. . . Supervisor Borgos-Your question Mr. Stewart, does the Board feel inclined to talk to you in terms of providing service in some fashion? What is the feeling of the Board? Entire Board indicated that there was no problem with the concept . Discussion held in regard to the cost of such a project, contract vs , extension of disc . and the buy in costs of the proposed sewer. . .bonding of the Central Qsby. Quaker Road Sewer Dist . . . Attorney Bob Stewart-The property in question is zoned residential noted that there is a possibility that Mr. Wood would approach the Town Board to request a rezoning to Commercial use . . . I think it would be fair of me to report to Mr. Wood that if he is willing to expend what it would cost to bring the pipe to the property, join into the sewer system and pay his share of daily costs and some modest buy into the district that, you people as a group would not be opposed. . . Supervisor Borgos-This is probably in line with our thinking to sewer as much of the Town as we can. E Town Attorney Paul Dusek-Regarding the proposal . . . contract VS . extension. . . from a legal standpoint my preference would be an extension of the district only because it simplifies the billing procedure . . . noted that the district could be just widened to include just that parcel . . . Councilman Monahan-Questioned. if we would need a projected flow? Supervisor Borgos-We will need an estimate, we will also —' need approval from the City of Glens Falls and an approval from D.E.C . which should not be a problem.
