William Pauldine owns property on Bell Drive which
is now vacant. Two drainage pipes were placed there
several years ago, and one empties directly onto his lot. Bell Drive
He is considering building a house there, and has request-
ed the town to relocate the drainage pipe;,'as he was of
the opinion that the pipe was put there by the Town.
Engineer, Peter Novelli, and the attorney have
investigated the situation and reported that from inform-
ation they have available, that these drainage pipes were
placed there before Bell Drive was developed, which was
a pre-existing condition. Because this does not affect
our Town highway, it would not be proper for the Town
to make any changes on private property. It was suggest-
ed that if Mr. Pauldine purchased the pipes, the town
could install them for him'.

ed the attorney to investigate the matter further and
report to Mr. Nadolski and Mr. Pauldine as there was
question as to when the pipes were installed.
