Town Board Meeting - 3/13/2000
Agenda Item No. 7
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CHANGE OF ADDRESSES
OF CERTAIN PROPERTIES FROM FIVE MILE DRIVE TO FIDLER ROAD
Resolution No. 24
WHEREAS, the lots and houses known as 734 and 736 Five Mile Drive, owned
respectively by Gary Underwood and Roderick Elston, are actually located on and front
on Fidler Road, and
WHEREAS, the lots and buildings known as 730 and 738 Five Mile Drive, owned
by Philip M. White, Jr., are located at the corner of Five Mile Drive and Fidler Road, but
have driveway access and greater association with Fidler Road; and
WHEREAS, the Five Mile Drive addresses cause confusion because the two of
the properties are not located on Five Mile Drive and the other two have a greater
affiliation with Fidler Road; and
WHEREAS, in the event of a fire, medical, or other emergency persons
responding to such emergencies would be misled by the inaccurate addresses thereby
causing such responses to be slower than would otherwise by the case; and
WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Fire and Disaster Coordinator's Office has
requested that the properties be renumbered and relabeled to more accurately reflect
the true location of each property; and
WHEREAS, said owners (Gary Underwood, Roderick Elston, and Philip M.
White, Jr.) were given written notification dated February 15, 2000, that the Town Board
at its meeting on March 13, 2000, would be considering the changes set forth in this
resolution and inviting all of them to attend the meeting and express their opinion on
such change; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Elston attended the meeting and expressed his opposition to
such change, citing the long-standing current usage and the inconvenience of changing
their address on all important documents such as licenses, etc., which concerns have
been considered by the Town Board; and
WHEREAS, nevertheless, in balancing the inconvenience to the lot owners
against the possible catastrophic consequences that might occur if an emergency arose
and the responding vehicles went to the wrong location, the Town Board had concluded
the need to identify the appropriate location of the properties should be paramount; and
