Supervisor Charles Howell called the meeting to order at 8 P.M. at. which time he introduced Engineer Carl Maar. Mr. Maar discussed three alternate routes available for locating the first section of the sewer to serve District No. 2, as follows: ALTERNATE A (across front of Howard Johnson's) Estimated Cost - $38,000. ® Difficult right -of -way acquisition, difficult construction due to existing utilities. least expensive alternate. ALTERNATE B (in back of Howard Johnson's) Estimated Cost - $529000. Additional expense due to pumping station, sewer line can be set at lower grade, therefore providing better service to Triphammer Road, ALTERNATE C (via empty sleeve under Route 13) Estimated Cost $48,000. Elevation of sleeve raises sewer, more costly than Alternate A. Mr. Maa.r stated that a comparison of the costs shows that Alternate A is preferable if the right -of -ways can be acquired without inordinate expense or delay,,.hdw6ver.,_,.if the developers whom Mr. Saptersone is representing would be willing to pay for the cost of a pumping station in the amount of $15,000 in order that they may be served, Alternate B becomes better engineering wise. Discussion held by the Board, Engineers and Mr. Saperstone. Mr. Saperstone requested the Engineers to submit him with a plan at their earliest convenience with the assumption that his associates would defray the cost of the pumping station. On motion meeting adjourned 10:20 P.M.
