thing be done about the road condition of Senate Place .
Mr . Fraioli stated that he had just completed the building
of a new residence and that three other houses had been built this year,
and the road is in a very bad condition. He said it took him about two
months to remove some large boulders from the street to make it passable .
Tr . A, Sansone said it took him three days to make an entrance
--- to his property.
Air . Norris pointed out that in one particular place there is
a sag in the road and there is always a puddle in the middle of the
street . He suggested that if the Town would dump some clean ashes it
would help a little .
The Supervisor informed the delegation that he would ask the
Town Highway Department Superintendent to make a recommendation as to
what should be done, and report to the next meeting.
1V-1r. Llunn Brewer, Attorney for Alan Carnoy, Builder, appeared
before the Board in connection with the application made by Mr . Carnoy
a short time ago for the installation of utilities at a development on
Lafayette Road.
lTr. Brewer recalled that at the time 1'r. Carnoy made the re-
quest for roads, sewer, water and gas, the Town Engineer had prepared
an estimate for approximately $16,000. based on these utilities . He
said that since then some further work and study had been made and kir.
Carnoy is presently negotiating to enter into a developer ' s agreer:.ent
with the utilities companies which would reduce the original estimate to
$12,000.9 provided that the Town would supply the remainder of the work.
i
Mr. Brewer presented a petition signed by 100% of the residents
and property owners asking the .Town Board to act favorably on the appli-
cation of _v1r. Carnoy to obtain from the Town,Sewer and road improvements
to serve the property lying between and in the vicinty of Lafayette
Road, Wadison Avenue and Lester Place .
859
It was pointed out that if the Town will bear the expense of
continuing the sewer and road into the property in question, IIr . Carnoy
will undertake to improve the neighborhood with twelve (12) single-
family dwellings of good character.
Mr. Brewer stated there was no need to remind the Board of
the appearance of that section of the Town which is unsightly at the
present time . He pointed out in detail the advantages which would
accrue to the Town by the development of this property as he saw them,
namely-, (1) Assessed valuation increase ; (2) the improvement of an
area which is not a most attractive one at the present time ; (3) helping
the housing situation.
He said he thought the Board might feel that they would be
setting a precedent in granting this request and pointed out that other
towns are helping in similar situations .
The Supervisor stated that this request deserves very serious
consideration and how serious it is remains to be decided by the entire
Board.
There being no further business the meeting adjourned at
9:35 P.M. , to meet on November 10, 1947®
