Azalea Way (Hemlock Hills) Update
Town Planner Laurie Muncy stated that all letters being sent to Mr. Brady have been returned. An attempt is being made to locate a new address. There is approximately $31,000 in the cash surety account. Laurie has received e-mails from the residents who are upset that no sidewalk has been constructed. Laurie explained in her return e-mail to them that the Planning Board is working on this project but currently the road is an unaccepted way. Per Laurie, the Assessors Office is attempting to reach Mr. Brady to send him a tax bill for the roadway and the parcel on the left hand side as you enter this site that is used for drainage. Mr. Brady in previous contact with the Assessors Office claims that he does not own any property in Hanson. There is the possibility that his development company may be
defunct.
Laurie will be visiting the site to see some of the items that are remaining; i.e., street light and sidewalk. She will be suggesting the installation of a solar light so that the roadway does not have to be disturbed. Laurie reviewed the cash surety account and felt that if agreed upon to use some of the money to install the solar light. Also, a sidewalk was to be installed to serve five houses on the cul-de-sac. She was looking at the surety estimate that was done by the engineer and it does not appear that the sidewalk is included in the estimate. Laurie asked the members if they wanted to spend the money to construct a sidewalk for five homes or would they want to make a motion to waive the sidewalk requirement at Hemlock Hills and put the money into the sidewalk fund for future use at another site.
The Board would like to know at what point this project came to a halt and who was the review engineer for the Town; is there any recourse from that end.
