there.
Kathleen Fox asked what the status was regarding
installing new water lines on Ridgeview Ave. she
expressed concern as they intend to build a new home
there, and construction cannot commence until the water
lines are in.
The Town Board advised her that they have just
received correspondence from the City of Cortland
regarding this. They have granted permission to Mr.
James Stevens, the developer to install the water lines.
This is his responsibility, not the town's. Because the
City of Cortland supplies water for that area, the
approval needed to come from them.
Mrs. Fo,c also asked if the Town would be completing
the road in that area soon.

responsibility of the developer to put in the road.
This cannot be done until the water lines are installed.
