ing of additional sewer mains and appurtenances,,and including the
acquisition of additional interests in lands through easements over
which a portion of sewer mains are to be constructed and acquired,
was called to order by Supervisor Charles Howell at 8:45 P.M.
Atty. Williamson and Engineer T.G. Miller explained the acquisition
of sewer mains constructed, the new proposed construction of sewer
mains and appurtenances in regard to area locations and the axquisi.
tion of easements. The estimated costs of the project was gone
over in detail. Methods of formulas for the paying of said project
was also discussed.
Arthur.Shull speaking for Ithaca Associates- Parties of Interest
requested the following statement be recorded: "I raise bascially
the question of cost which I realize is very sensitive, which you've
given considerable thought, but we would particularly like to
emphasize the point and be sure that in the development of this dis-
trict, that we don't end up in the same state as the South Hill
District, with cost escalating beyond the real economic return from
the facilities and that the cost consequences in installing the
facilities be very carefully considered. I feel that the coming of
the County District, that we raise the very real problem for the
entire south part of the T own of Lansing, of having to cope with
the question bf benefit charges for the existence of the sewer
services and that the possible result of the very extreme pressures
for rapid development of the properties in order to ease the burden
of carrying these benefit charges on developed property and that the
magnitude expended these charges be very carefully considered. This
district will now underwrite sort of the extension of the existing
facilities. In the extension of these existing facilities, the
district will incur certain fixed costs of the amortized. At a
later date the County District will provide these collection or
other mains which will become cost in addition to the existing cost
service. I am simply saying that as these combined costs are born
upon the properties in the district, we may find that in fact that
there are additional, additional costs forced by the fact that we
will have benefit charges and therefore will have an incentive to
develop the properties and that there will be other costs in assoc-
iation with -this in terms of roads, schools, fire protection etc.,
and that we give sufficient way for this point as well as the central
planning for the sewers."
