Set the benefit assessment for 26 Church hill road at $8,300 – No public Comment
Set the sewer benefit assessment for 105 Church Hill Road at $14,500. This was amended from published amount of $25,000 - Mr. Tartaglia, owner of the property, asked why he is getting assessed again. He paid once and his property is mixed used. The current permit is for a shell permit, not for a restaurant. He believes that he is already tied into the system and there should be no change. The benefit to the property is generally the usage. Mr. Zang read from the state statue regarding the benefit assessment. Mr. Tartaglia doesn’t think that this benefit assessment is fair. Mr. Hurley explained that a residential assessment is $9,900 for residential no matter how many bedrooms. The only thing that this $14,500 refers to
is the addition and the change in use. Mr. Zang suggested that he put his argument in writing and that the WSA table the decision during the regular meeting.
Adjourned at 7:34
Arlene Miles, Clerk
