his doctors. He has been hospitalized and, upon medical advice, has not been
allowed to return to work.

the past four weeks. He Is not expected to receive his doctor's permission to re-

STREETS
Motor paving and sealing of streets has been completed. Spray patching in an exten-

spray patching can be accomplished before the end of the paving season. At this
point, the Village streets, except for a few minor settlements caused by excava-
tion in the paving area, are in good condition.
SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT
We have received from Teetor- Dobbins the plans, specifications, working drawings,
for the construction of the Plant for our files. These have been delivered to the
Plant Office. I am happy to report that the grit chamber is finally enclosed. This
and the extensive work that our operator has accomplished In landscaping has resul-
ted In a very attractive appearance of the sewer plant area.
REPORT OF THE ZONING OFFICER - August 1978
During the past month three zoning permits have been issued for additions for a
total estimated construction cost of $116,000. Two road opening permits have been
issued.
On August 15th, the Zoning Board of Appeals met to hear an appeal from Francis Davis
of 812 Hanshaw Road, to construct a garage closer to the west boundary than the
required setback distance. The garage was to replace, in the exact same location
and size, a previous garage structure that was determined to be unsafe and was de-
rrolished within the past year. The variance was granted by the Board.
• A proposed development plan has been received from Fred Thomas Associates, archi-
tects for Donald Belcher. The proposed plans are for the property Mr. Belcher owns
.vest of Route 13 in the northwest corner of the Village.
