1-. The increased noise and air pollution would create hazardous
conditions and hinder development in the residential areas of the
Fer-Cor Tract, Sleepy Hollow Tract, Hart Estates Tract and Stiles
Farm and. along Fairview Drive, Luker Road, Highland Road and
Groton Avenue Extension.

three houses and eighteen acreas of land at an estimated cost
of $160,000.00 would remove valuable property from the future
Assessment Rolls of the Town.
3. The cost of construction and land acquisition in excess of
$650,000.00 would be disproportionate to any gains by the Town.

of taxes for land owners in the Town.

economic gain for the Town.
