Zoning Board of Appeals Board of Assessment Review L 1 11 s>i 150 Wednesday, January 5, 1977 Pg. 6 Lehigh Supervisor Blatchley reported he had received a letter from the Valley RR Lehigh Valley Railroad Co.._,_-SHe..said his interpretation of the letter was that "It gave the town an opportunity to dispense with its preferential treatment to own the railroad property". He explained that when a "railroad becomes defunct, the first municipality to get a chance to own it is the state; the next municipality, is the county and the third municipality is the town'. He recommended the town not give up their "preferential treatment" as he thought, in years to come, "the lines could be valuable to the town for water systems and sewer lines". Attorney Gardner advised the town that if the county took over the preferential treatment, the town under Town Law, could use the right-of-way for water and sewer. He also advised that Legislator, Robert Bays, Chairman of the Board of Legislators, was planning a meeting with the local municipalities to discuss this matter. ENGINEER REPORT: WATER PUMPING STATION: the pump has been installed and tested. They Water Pump are now in thei_?process of testing valves and other equipment. Station They ran into some difficulty but he hopes to have the facility in operating condition shortly. WATER DISTRICT #4: He has had further correspondence with Mr. McNeal Water Dist. of Pyramid Properties, Inc. Additional data required has been #4 submitted by Pyramid Properties, Inc. and Mr. Rowell suggested the board consider what action they wish to take at this time. The former W.T.Grant store has been rented and the first month's rent has been paid, according to documents submitted. A lease on the property will run from 1776-1998. A discussion followed. Justice Eaton stated that the consensus of the board at the last meeting was, that the board did not want to commit the town to this expenditure until they were given assurance that the mall had a "bonefide tennant" who would stay. If the mall was unsuccessfull, he said, the town would be left with the bond to pay off. "That is the reason the board is concerned with the legal sufficiencies of the lease", he said. Attorney Gardner stated he had read the certified copy of the lease agreement between Pyramid Properties, Inc. and K-Mart and that )it was legal as to text and contents and that he had seen the certification of the first month's rent payment and he felt the lease would not be broken within the next 90 days. There was some reservations as to whether the town should undertake the formation of this district at this time. After further discussion, Justice Fish stated he felt that, as long as everything was legal and in order, the town should go ahead with the formation of this district especially since the town was anticipating the formation of Water District #5. This would necessitate tying into the Water District #4 line and he felt the town should own the lines in this district. Attorney Gardner and Engineer Rowell concurred that the town should have control of the Water District #4 lines. In answer to a question from Justice Eaton, Mr. Rowell stated it was his recommendation to form the district at this time. "The Town has an agreement with Pyramid Properties, Inc. to make use of their water mains to feed water to South Cortland if the town so desires. It would be desirable for the town to have control of the lines. In order to do so, Water District #4 should be formed". He said, "as a result of negotiations with Pyramid Properties, Inc., at the time of development of the mall, they were requested to install pipe lines of adequate size and that the line be extended to the edge of the state road so that it could become useful for extension to South Cortland at some later date'.' Pyramid Properties, Inc. had complied with this request.
