The location of the pump station is at the center of the fork on Steamboat Wharf Road as you head toward the yacht club & Seal Harbor Library. The existing pump station is in that area and is above ground. The pump station is currently painted an institutional green. Across the road are several residences with mature trees, providing some visual screening. There is a shade tree along the walk towards the library. Across the street the land rises steeply from the wharf to the road. The plans call for a new pump-house to be installed as well as wet drainage in the road (eight foot wide drain accessible via a regular sized man-hole in the event the drain needs servicing.
Correspondence amounted to a few emails in response to questions Ms. Brawley had regarding the lighting, storm water management, and erosion. All issues will conform to all guidelines and ordinances.
Two abutters were present, Todd Mydland and Abby Simpson. They voiced their concerns over potential noise from the pump station and visual impact to their properties.
