Ridgedale Drainage District The Ridgedale Residents were handed a preliminary proposal for a special drainage district-residents- of the area then Asked questions of Town Highway Superintendent Carl Garb : Mr. Richard McCarthy of 12 Wilson Street posed the question -would the proposal that was given to us tonight do the job-Mr. Garb with cooperation from the residents it sl�Qidld do the job. Mr. DeMeo of 18 Sergeant Street asked if the residents of the area will be able to use their present drainage system and hook up the the Towns-Mr. Garb said this would be possible in most cases but a few houses would have to put in another system because of their locations. Mr. DeMeo " I want to be sure that were not just recycling the water, In other words , I want to make sure we aren't re- moving the water from one section and draining it into another area, which would raise the water level allowing the water to flow back through the system. " Mr. Garb said the plan allows for the water to drain into Frog Pond from their to Halfway Brook. Mr. John Rozell of Cronin Road protested this plan saying it would put more water into their already wet area. Mt. Garb again stated that this was the natural course of the water and because the water from this area is already running to the Halfway Brook more piping would or should not cause any more hardship. Councilman Robert Barber noted that the plan is very preliminary and we don' t have all the facts at this time. The Town Board -discussed the p� sbiiy. ot -hvg�a -gublic hearing. A show of hands was called for by a resident of Ridgedale to see if the residents wanted the Town Board to call-for a public hearing. The vote was approximately 11 yea 3 no.

First Year Cost, 69� per front foot Last Year Cost, 28(,% per front foot ' Supervisor Austin explained the problems that these residents have had he noted that the problem is similar to Ridgedale but perhaps more drastic since the land is level. The above proposal would empty into the Glens Falls system. William Skellie of Seward Street questioned the depth of the proposed pipes-Mr. Garb-stated that this was still a in the initial stages and further study will be done. Mr. Cartier of Sherman Avenue stressed that he would appreciate any help the Town could give. Residents of both Seward Street Area and Ridgedale question where all the water was coming from?
