Superintendent, Carl Bush his opinion on -the acceptance
of Ridgeview Rd. Mr. Bush stated that Mr. Stevens has
not completed the road at this point in time. The City

Ridgeview at this time.
Deputy Supervisor Thorpe read a letter dated March
2d; 1989, from the Law firm Pomerory, Taylor and
Armstrong to our Town Attorney Phillip Rumsey. Mr.
Armstrong stated in his proposed agreement to the Town
that he understood that Mr. Stevens would place into an
account a $10,000.00 deposit to be held by Cortland

A motion was made by Councilman O'Donnell, seconded

Highway Superintendent, Carl Bush was given
privilege of the floor. Mr. Bush stated the
Cortlandville Planning Department will be voting on an
application submitted by Barden -Robeson, for a
subdivision on Bell Drive which is owned by William
Pauldine. At this time the parcel is whole and Barden -
Robeson plans on building two homes on this parcel,
which creates the process of a subdivision. The
drainage on this parcel, as it is now, would create a
serious problem if two homes were built, stated Mr.
Bush. The parcel that exists now was piped by Mr.
Pauldine years ago to divert the water into another
direction. The water would flood neighboring homes in
the area and that is why Mr. Pauldine piped that parcel
to redirect -the water run off as stated by Mr. Bush.
