The Public Hearing on proposed Water District No.. 18 was called to order at 7:00 p.m. The proposed district was discussed. All persons desiring to be heard, having been heard, the Public Hearing was terminated at 7:11 p.m. Discussion was held concerning the condition of Whispering Pines Drive and Arrowood Lane. Mr. Larson, Lansing Highway Superintendent offered several suggestions on how to repair the roads. The Town Board and Highway Superintendent decided to pave from Hillcrest Lot # 3 with two inches of hot asphalt, 540 feet by 20 feet. This is probably the worst part of the road. 150 ton at $4500 plus one day paver rental at $ 1200 - Total $ 5,7000000 Shoulder will have to be built up in the area paved. One spot on Whispering Pines needs to be dug out 80 feet long, 22 feet wide, one foot deep and 18 inches put back in to raise the road to take out the dip. Two days, 3 men, 2 trucks, and gradall to dig out and fill back in and put fabric down. Estimate gravel at 200 ton. This is scheduled to be done in June. If Arrowood is to be paved, there is a bad spot that will need to be dug out 60 feet by 22 feet. This will take approximately two days to do. Mrs. Kirby will send Mr. Kemple a letter informing him of the work Superintendent Larson will be performing. Discussion was held regarding the sewer permits allowed to the Town of Lansing. In Horizon Estates, three (3) are needed for vacant lots. Eleven (11) lots with septic systems will have first refusal. This will leave 6 remaining. Mr. Herrick discussed the large landowners in the proposed Water District No. 17. Mr. Herrick stated that he has informed them that because of lower water pressure on some of their land that they or a developer will have to build additional infrastructure to correct the low water pressure. The following people approached the Town Board regarding Bill George Road: Eric Trotter, Mr. Campbell, Mr. Jewett, Mr. and Mrs. Cook, Mr. and Mrs. Swayze, Mrs. Juracka, and Attorney's Charles Guttman and Chris Michaels. Attorney Rich John discussed the fact that Bill George extension is a very narrow road and that it would be impossible to bring the road up to Town specifications. He offered the residents to improve the extension at least to be as good as Bill George Road. Also, money in the amount of a $ 20,000.00 range was offered to help out with a Homeowner's Association after Bill George Extension has been abandoned. Nothing was settled at this time. The Attorneys will meet again in the near future to settle this situation. If this cannot be settled, it will go to court. j continued May 26, 1994 ORDER AND RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN BOARD, TOWN OF LANSING ESTABLISHING WATER DISTRICT NO. 18 In the matter of the establishment of Lansing Water District No. 18, pursuant Town of to Article Lansing, 12 -A County of the of Tompkins, State of New York, Town Law.
