NEW BUSINESS
Reconstruction of Pleasant Valley and Clark Street - Sewer extension approval
Mr. Shaw showed plans relating to the state funded road improvement project for Pleasant Valley Road and Clark Street. Previous approval had been given in September 1998 for a sewer extension to approximately Amato Drive. The Town felt at this point in time it would be appropriate to extend the sewer line east from Amato Drive, down Pleasant Valley Road to the intersection of Wheeler Road. This extension would allow sewer service to an additional three (3) homes located on the north side of Pleasant Valley Road and one house on the south side across from Wheeler Road. The cost of this project will be $42,000 with approximately $20,000 being paid back through assessments to the homeowners. The cost of this project is shown in the Capital Improvement section of the budget, this amount would be
shifted to the Sewer Fund. Discussion followed regarding the impact of this project on the home owners involved in the extension and the benefit to the Town. After this discussion it was felt that this project would be a benefit to the Town and the home owners.
