Minutes of a Public Hearing, duly published and posted, held November 4, 1991
at 7:00 PM in the Village Hall to review and complete apportionment and assess-
' ment of expenses regarding "the Remington Road Improvement Project.
PRESENT: Mayor Anderson; Trustees Collyer, Fleming, Pimentel, Wheeler; Attorney
Sovocool; Treasurer Silber.
ABSENT: Trustees Perry and Searle.
OTHERS: Kim Jacobs, Jack Rogers, M/M Shepherd, Tom McCarthy, Robert Moore.
Mayor Anderson opened the Public Hearing stating its purpose and invited comments
from the floor. He acknowledged that the math used to apportion costs was due to
the efforts of Kim Jacobs and David Herrick who determined that a base percentage
of 39.6% of the total amount of the Orchard Earth and Pipe Corp. bid should be
,used to compute apportionment of road cost as apart from drainage, water and sewer
costs. This figure of $216,973 was then used to break out the percentage cost for
abutting landowners.on the basis of frontage to the 15 parcels which front on the
east side and 1 parcel on the west side. The computed cost is $18.39 1foot of
frontage. The figures were sent to the abutting property owners along with ease-
ments (where necessary) and Green Belt Agreement. Similarly, costs were computed
for sanitary sewer at 7.5% or $41,093. The Mayor asked for questions /comments.
Mr. Rogers was assured that the figures presented to landowners are final once the
Board accepts the bid from Orchard Earth and Pipe Corp. which,--it was pointed out,
cannot be accomplished until all easements have been signed. Discussion focused
momentarily on costs of stubs relative to sewer and water laterals and also the re-
placement of corner stakes moved during construction. Kim Jacobs said she will
provide a list to landowners of those properties where stakes have been located and
stated that stakes moved during construction will be put back.
Mr. McCarthy expressed his dissatisfaction with the type of guardrail selected and
asked if one similar to the one installed in the East Lake Subdivision could be
considered instead. After noting that the safety factor was considered in choosing
the guardrail described in the contract, Kim Jacobs said she will investigate cost
discrepancy between the two types with the contractor.
Mr. Rogers and Mrs. Shepherd commented on the Boards earlier commitment to "open
Remington Road at Village expense" reiterating the reasons, as they remembered them,
'for its closing in the first place. Mr. Rogers wished it to be part of the record
that. he:
- "objects to the inclusion of guardrail costs in grading and paving costs. He cited
Village Law Section 6 -622 and Board resolution which states that a portion of the
grading and paving cost would be charged to abutting property owners.
- objects to the inclusion of curb and gutter costs in grading and paving.
- objects to the inclusion of clearing and grubbing costs in grading,'and paving costs.
- objects to seeding costs in grading and paving costs.
- objects to inclusion of the cost of raising sanitary manholes in the paving and
grading costs.
- objects to the inclusion of digging up 400+ feet of existing asphalt road at the
base of Remington Road where it meets E. Shore Drive.- the cost of replacing it
with a more costly road."
There were further comments relative to the reasons for the Road's closing, the
deadline for signing the Green Belt AgreemeAt. and duration of Bonds. The Public
' Hearing was declared closed at 8:17 PM.
