The Lakewatch residents presented the following concerns to
the Board :: _ . -
•
David Dittman stated the following :
He : stated that on October 15 , 1992 the residents of the
L akewatch area met with the Town Board regarding the roads in their
development . On January 14 ., 1993 a letter was sent to them from the
H ighway Superintendent stating that the workwould begin on May : 1 ,
1993 and end by July 1 , 199'3 :: Mr . 1 -Dittman stated that - the work had
n ot begun until about 10 days ago and . has been sitting : idle - for : a
w eek . :: He asked it there : was . a pl:an : with a : time schedule . He also
asked : if the' plan _ would be at- the convenience- of the contractor or
at the : convenience - of the ci.tiz•ens ? • . :
Mr . Dittman stated that there was a map : attached to7 the . letter
o f January '.14th - that showed _ areas :of failure - and .was : -concerned that
the : contr. actor was going . to fix _ only the -portion pointed -out . on: the
map and- not ' take .: care of -all of : . the problems (including Smuggler ' s
P ath : - - .
Mr . Dittman felt that even if the contractor was _ attending : to
the job: on - a : daily ' basis the earliest - completion_ .date • would be
around : August 15th . He was - afraid it : could be - postponed due to:- fall
wweather-: if the construction does not start, soon. i He - .was • concerned
about - the _' Scope -of the • Pro ject " . : : - - _ .
: as r : A : test . was suppose to :be - :done : to _find : out - if I the: fix - that : was
beingr . proposed was - a: :fix :that - would : be substantial :. The test did

_ : : _The Weiner ' s who - .were out -, of town , . asked Mr . : Dittman too•: inform

codes for building roads . tHe • was . very. ' annoyed _ by • how :slow the
4111 process : is - taking:. - : . - _ _ : : :
: Mr7.. Larsonrcstated .that _ he • was . - extremely : frustrated ' with Mr :
Pinney as he signed his name to the contract and agreed to ' do - the
w ork .but . has mot performed : Mr - : Larson also: stated that he. was not
aware: of a : drainaget problem until. now -. Mr : . Tharl .er.- stated that the
✓ esidents should have gone to the developer with the : drainage
problems . _ : ; _ •
__ c - Al :.B.raul t sof - 153 : Reach Run stated that - there were actuallytwo
drainage problems .. One being the one that refers - t•o :. the ditches • and
,22 .0
continued July 21 , 1993
the other one is due to the way Reach Run slopes at the end of the
parking lot . The water is not following the ditches but is actually
coming down the road during heavy rain falls as it is not directed
to turn away from the properties but going directly onto them . Mr .
Thaler stated that Mr . Larson and Mr . Herrick will confront the
contract on this matter before the Town can accept the roads .
As far as Smuggler ' s Path is concerned , Mr . Larson stated that
it was never accepted as a Town Road because the developer ' s never
made a provision for a turn - a - round . Mr . Cleveland has been in
contact with the developer ' s on several different occasions but
they do not return his calls . Mr . Cleveland stated that he is
w orking with the Weiner ' s on this problem but cannot get them to
make a decision on the placement of the turn - a - round .
Mr . Dittman felt it was time the Town Board made some
d ecisions , both short term and long term ones . He felt that maybe
the Town should have the developer ' s and the contractor ' s post
larger bonds . Mr . Dittman suggested that the Town collect the bonds
and make the roads right .
Mr . Dittman also wanted to know why Mr . Pinney is allowed to
perform on other projects when he won ' t make this one right ? Mr .
Larson stated that the two projects are being performed under two
d ifferent names , one being L . R . S . Excavating and the other owner
P inney .
Mr . Dittman asked why the Planning Board is allowed to
continue to approve these projects ?
Mr . Totman stated that since Lakewatch was started , the Town
S pecifications have been upgraded .
Mr . Guy Dicicco of 126 Reach Run asked for direct answers as
to why things are not being done , does the Town have a plan and if
so , what is the plan ? Mr . Cleveland stated that a decision would
probably be made tonight .
Mr . Larson informed Mr . Dicicco that the contract between the
Town , Mahool and Pinney was not signed until December , making it
impossible to do the test site . Mr . Pinney agreed to warranty the
1111
road and any repairs for one year from the time the last coat of
stone and oil is put on .
Mr . Thaler stated that once the Town found that the road had
failed , and the Lakewatch residents came before the Town Board with
their concerns , the Town responded to it by having Mr . Pinney sign
a contract . At this time the developers had filed a law suit
against their contractor for non performance . The Town then tried
to mediate something and came up with an agreement that named Mr .
P inney as the contractor because the Town wanted a contractor to
w ork on the road that originally did it and GUARANTEE IT for an
additional one year so that if it failed , there would be a way to
g o back to the original contractor . Mr . Thaler stated that if the
Town takes over the project , it then becomes the Town ' s
responsibility from the point it is taken over .
Mr . Dicicco felt that because the Town placed signs on the
✓ oads and gave the owners Certificates of Occupancies , that the
Town has the roads . Mr . Thaler stated that the reason the Town gave
Temporary C . O . ' s was because the Lakewatch people begged the Town
to give them temporary C . O . ' s because their money was spent . Mr .
Thaler stated that the Town did not want to give building permits
o r certificates of occupancies at all . Mr . Dicicco stated that
w hether the Town wanted to or not was not the factor because they
D ID give them . Mr . Dittman stated that the residents have REAL
Certificates of Occupancies and NOT TEMPORARY ones .
Mr . Dittman said that they share the discomfort with the Town
but that they are looking to the Town Board to help them out of the II/
problem .
Mr . Thaler asked if they had talked to the developer and if
so , what is he doing ? They stated that they had not talked to the
d eveloper .
Mr . Thaler said the Board could tell the developer that there
w ill be no more building permits issued until the problem is
resolved . Mr . Dicicco suggested that the Town take this action . Mr .
Thaler felt the Town Board had a lot of leverage with the developer
281
continued July 21 , 1993
as they can enforce the contract as written . He also stated that
the prime concern was to get the Lakewatch residents a road and
d rainage that operates and works the way it was suppose to .
Mr . Thaler stated that if something was going to be done , the
drainage problem should be included . Mr . . Larson and Mr . Herrick
w ill look into the drainage problem .
Mr . Dittman informed the Board that there is a house owned by
the Sampson ' s that will be looki.ng . for a Certificate of Occupancy
on Monday or soon thereafter .
A Lakewatch resident said it was clear that the -Town Board has
tried to be helpful but it was now time to change their mode of
operation and that he would like to recommend that the Town Board
take VERY FIRM action against the developer and contractor such as
closing on _ the . bonds and getting the work done .
The Lakewatch group decided to wait . for Mr . Herrick so they
could hear any decision that was made . .
Mr . _ Otis approached the _ Board in regard to his mothers
property on Farrell Road . He felt that he was being charged too
many units for the water as much of her land was swamp and she is
n ot hooked upto it . He stated that . Mr . Herrick. had . l ooked over the
property and recommended that the number of units be changed from
7 . 8 to . 5 units . _ Mr . Otis . felt . this was unfair as other houses in
the area had more. . than _ .15 .0! . frontage . Mr . Otis stated that his
mother is paying $ 1 , 285 . 00 per year and is not hooked uptoit . He
felt the Town was . forcing . her to •. sell her property as . she . cannot
afford _ it .The bill would now be. $ 700 . 00 - . $ 800 . 00 a year - if the
units were dropped back to . 5 . Mr . ' Otis said . his . mother could put
something in writing : . stating _ . that the land . w.ould . NEVER be
subdivided . . . That way , it might be reduced to 3 _ .units which, Mr .. Otis
felt was acceptable . The Town Board will discuss this with Mr .
H errick and get . back _ to Mr . Otis with . their decision .
Mr . Larson reported the following to the .Board : . .
1 . He _ has checked into placing a fence . on the portion of
1111
Ludlowville Road that is closed off . The insurance company
✓ ecommended a chain link fence with _ a minimum of . 6 ' in height .
Whitmore Fence Company gave Mr . Larson a price . of $ 8 , 650 . 00 . Mr .
Larson had . reservations about going into this . area with a . loader
because.. of the weight of it . and the condition of the road . Mr .
L arson . felt ' the Town should now have. _a . Public Hearing so we could
g et some input from the residents as . to what they would like to see
h appen with this stretch of road .
. . 2 . _A weight limit of two ton axle . weight has been posted on
Farrell Road . Mr . Larson would also like to. be . . a.uthorized : to post
a . weight limit on Buck _ Road . from. Rt .. 34 _ to VanOstrand Road . The
following Resolution _ was _ then adopted : _
RESOLUTION offeredby . Mr . .. . Cleveland and seconded by Mr .
Tvaroha : _ . _
. BE IT RESOLVED. , . that the . Town _ Board . does . hereby authorize the
H ighway Superintendent _ to set and post weight limits on roads based

3 . The Highway Department will be conducting a limb and
brush pick - up in the hamlet of Ludlowville tomorrow due to heavy
damage caused by the wind storm .
4 . Work is now being done on the walk bridge in Myers .
5 . A portion of Horizon ' s ( about 350 ' ) has to be dug out and
replaced . Alex Cima has a problem with a ditch that needs to be
cleaned out on the south side of the road that is now owned by the
County . Mr . Cima has asked Mr . Larson to use his equipment and
clean out the ditch as long as he will have it in the area but Mr .
Thaler informed Mr . Larson NOT to do this as it is not owned by the
Town .
6 . Mr . Thaler asked Mr . Larson for his recommendation in
regard to the Lakewatch Development .
Mr . Larson recommended , with reservations , that the Town claim
the bond and let the Town rebuild the road . He felt the work period
w ould soon be coming to a close and felt the Town could get to it
✓ ight a way . Mr . Larson said that the money would have to " be in
h and " and the bills would have to be paid as the work was being
d one . Mr . Tvaroha agreed with Mr . Larson as far as having the Town
d o the work because by the time the bid process was complete , fall
w ould . be approaching . Mr . Larson also stated that if they were to
perform this task , there would be no guarantee as it is someone
e lses work that they would be fixing .
At this time Mr . Herrick joined the meeting and agreed with
Mr . Larson .
Mr . Thaler stated that there is an agreement dated February
27 , 1991 between the Town of Lansing and Mr . Tallman and Mr . Mahool
as the developers promising to complete everything on Mr . Herrick ' s
punch list at that time . In this agreement , they agreed to put up
a $ 35 , 000 . 00 bond and they agreed to save the Town harmless from
any other expenses that would arise as a result of their failure to
d o what they agreed to do . Mr . Thaler informed Mr . Larson that if
the cost was more than the $ 71 , 000 . 00 that was put up by the
d eveloper and the contractor , the Town would be covered under the
agreement dated February 27 , 1991 .
It was Mr . Thaler ' s recommendation to the Town Board to put
Mr . Tallman and Mr . Mahool on notice that the Town would be taking
248. 3
continued July 21 , 1993
possession of the bonds and that it is up to them to take care of
Mr . Pinney . He stated that Mr . Pinney would have to forfeit the
$ 36 , 000 . 00 that is in the County Clerk ' s Office because he is in
default .
W hen Mr . Larson asked what the time period would be , Mr .
Thaler asked Mr . Larson to wait until next week to see what the
response was but that basically he could start plans next week .
Mr . Larson also questioned the problems with the drainage and
® Smuggler ' s Path .
Mr . Thaler suggested the Town ask the developer ' s to
✓ oluntarily clear up the items on the punch list and if theydo not
d o it , he would suggest the. Town sue them in order to get it - done .
Mr . Dittman stated . that . the current drainage problem was
manifested ' for two reasons. :. - - n
1 . The current construction has caused the dirt in the
ditches which he felt was . trivial .
2 . The slope of Reach Run at the bottom end of the parking
lot . This is from heavy rain falls that follow the path of the road
and do not get into : the ditches . by virtue of the channel .
H e did feel that the_ drainage that has been put in has worked
w ell . ' Mr . . Dittman suggested the process should be started very
q uickly .
Mr . . Thaler ' suggested to the Board that they direct Mr . Totman
N OT to issue any more building permits or certificates of
o ccupancies in the Lakewatch Development starting immediately .
-
Mr . Totman stated that the Sampson ' s have contractors working
around the clock until - Monday _: to . finish their house and . that the
final inspection is scheduled for 8 : 30 A . M . Monday at which time
they will . expect to .receive : their final C . O . The residents of Lake
Watch did not agree with this procedure .
Even though : .the : Super. visor and: _ the Town Attorney did not want
to give the- _Sampson ' s a C . O. . , it .was the consensus of the Town
B oard i to. authori .z:e Mr . .Tatman to give . them their certificate of

The following discussion was held regarding the Hickory Knoll
D evelopment :
Mr . Thaler felt that Mr . Hicks was in violation of his
contract with the Town . He stated that even though the Town did not
h ave the one year guarantee with Mr . Hicks , that the roads were NOT
built to Town specifications .
Mr . Thaler felt the Town should take a very strong position in
this matter such as putting Mr . Hicks on notice and not issuing any
more building permits for his subdivision until the roads are
repaired .

Mr . Herrick stated that there will be shoulder problems and
d riveway problems in the Lakewatch Development as new material will
be going over the top of old material . ( about 6 " )
✓ icky Elliott from the Lansing Recreation Commission
approached the Board with the following problem :
The LBP and LSP Leagues hired a photographer to take pictures
o f all the children in the programs . Letters were sent out to all
parents from the photographer stating that they were burglarized
and asked for new checks to replace the ones that were stolen . The
photographer did state that all checks were stamped " For Deposit
O nly " and guaranteed they could not be cashed . Mrs . Elliott asked •
if this was legal or not . The Town Attorney stated that there was
n othing illegal about it and after some discussion it was decided
that it would be best if it were left up the individuals as to
w eather or not they wanted to replace their check or cancel their
o rders . Mr . Thaler suggested each parent should call their bank to
see if the checks cleared before proceeding .

this and get back to the board with his recommendation .
