RESOLUTION 1301 - TOWN OF LANSING SEWER EXTENSION
'VOTED to acknowledge receipt of the resolution of the Town of Lansing dated
June 12, 1968, regarding extension of sewers to the Chateau Claire Apartment
area and to refer it to the Village Engineer for his consideration and report
after reviewing the plans relating to this extension.
The inspection of the Chateau Claire Apartments involved a sewer line system
to be put in use over an extensive period of time and vrhich was inspected
some months before the first occupant'. This sewer line system.is in a different
category from the usual single lateral inspection. It was viewed, therefore,
as being more equitable to establish the first occupancy date as the date from
which to begin charges, and the following action was taken:
RESOLUTION 1302 - REFUND TO OTTO B. SCHOENFELD
VOTED subject to payment of bill in full of $8,160.00 by Otto B. Schoenfeld
