2. .Puþlic Hearing - Robert Ledda, Rainbow Ridge Section 2, Jenkinsville. .
l\J1r. Ledda was not present. Mr. Norton said that he had noticed a legal
notice in the newspaper of foreclosure of mortgage sale of the property
which would eliminate the need for any action by the Board until it is
cleared up as to who is going to be developing the land - if there is a
developer.
Russell Harris the former owner of the property was present and said
that he would like to see the property developed. Mr. Norton said that
the Planning Board feel in view of Lœ. Ledda's past performance, especially
in Ridge r~eadows where there are quite a few problems of his causing, that
the Boa:t.:d feels that before it would approve a subdivision here 1.u-. Ledda
would have to come up with some pretty good assurances that he would
prop-erly develop.. this property. The Board would undoubtedly require a
performance bond ·to see that he does follow the approved plans and the
requirements of the town. k~.Norton said that he had indications from
the Town Board that they definitely agree.
