Lakefront properties that currently use a shared driveway will also benefit from the Town Road. Jim Eyster resident of Fiddler's Green questioned how the drainage will be resolved. H. Floyd Davis explained that there is a large retention pond that is approximately one and a half acre (11/2 ) acre that will allow for drainage. Timothy Buhl, Project Engineer and David Herrick, Town Engineer has gone through extensive Stormwater calculations to determine the volume runoff of different storms for this pond. The pond will act as a buffer to collect the initial volume of the main runoff. Larry Sharpsteen suggested that the record be stricken where H. Floyd Davis states "Town Road" and sited as "Proposed Town Road" . Lin Davidson made a motion to close the Public Hearing at 7:26 PM.
