HomeMy WebLinkAboutReport of the Engineer Feb. 1984VILLAGE OF CAYUGA HEIGHTS REPORT OF ENGINEER Feb. 1984 PERSONNEL The adopted sick leave policyof the Village for the Public Works personnel in- corporated the plan to purchase Disability Insurance to cover employees with part salary for a six months' period after he ran out of sick leave and vaca- tion. As of now, Disability Insurance is not in effect. It is assumed that the Board would provide the same benefit to a disabled employee as the Disability Insurance would provide, from Village funds /should an employee have a long term disability before insurance can be obtained. The record should show the Village intent to "self- insure" until Disability Insurance can be obtained. ROADS A road program is being developed for 1984 -85 The plan includes removal of the top six inches of Iroguois Road with a milling machine and repave using the salvaged material plus some added asphalt plant mix. The curbs on this road are in bad condition and it looks, at this point, like they should be abandoned and removed. SIDEWALKS A special request of Trustee Philbrick for investigation of a sidewalk -path along Pleasant Grove Road was acted upon. �a A meeting of the Public Works Committee was held February 12 to consider a pro- posed budget for 1984 -85.

REPORT OF ZONING OFFICER No Zoning Permits were issued during the past month. Two road opening permits were issued to NYSEG for gas service installation. The Zoning Officer has met with Fire Inspector, Gene Dymek, to formulate plans for the enforcement of the State Building Codes that became effective Jan. 1, 1984. An inventory inspection of the Mobil Stop IN Shop was made by the Zoning Officer on 1- 25 -84. There were a number of items offered for sale that are not permitted under the pending agreement, as the agreement with J.F.J. Enterprises has not been as yet put in final form and accepted by the Board. No action was taken on the items offered for -sale. Report of Zoning Officer - cont'd The proposed agreement has been rewritten by the Zoning Officer and is submitted to the Board for final approval. It is proposed that after Board approval, the Village Attorney check the agreement for legal language and the agreement,.be sent to J.F.J. Enterprises as a finished document for their signature; not asking for their ideas or changes. If they'do not return the signed agreement within 15 days, the amended permit will be issued under the terms of the submitted agreement. The Zoning Officer then can enforce the permit. If we do not act in this ways negotiations, legal consultations, discussions, re- quests, etc. will go on for another year. Lagrand Chase has requested permission to combine his property at 2 Pleasant Grove Lane with the adjacent lot to the south - 178 Pleasant Grove Rd., remove the existing house at 178 Pleasant Grove Rd., add to his house at 2 Pleasant Grove Lane including a large garage.across the property line between the two properties, and to use the driveway of the house at 178 Pleasant Grove Rd. for his driveway at 2 Pleasant Grove Lane. It is the opinion of the Zoning Officer that the overall effect would be advantageous to the Village and permission should be granted.
