Dear Nil. and Mrs'. dao.
The Town . f Wappi.n er Board has Informally o0naldered the problems
you and your neighbora have by reaaon or the fact that Dugan X,ane
la not a public road.,
it is x4y understanding that, while there is sonic rea3on to believe
that Dugan .inane has been used by the public in general for some
years.," i is al true that the Lane has nevor bacon maintained by
the Town. Our Town Attorney advises us that under these circum-
stances, the Town cannot legally plow the road or maintain it or
take atW action concerning it until such time as title to the road
is acquired by the Town,
Under state law our Town cannot accept as a public road any road
less than rods wide which ls,� or course, 49 1 feet. As a mat-
ter of poli. y the Town has for many years required that the road
be 50 ` et 'aside.
As a mattor of town polloy ror many years the own Soard has re-
fused. to accept any road as a public road if a cost to the Town
was involved and, In addition, has required that before the road
be accepted by the Town, that it bo graded, ditched:, surfaced, and
that rproper drainage easementom be included to the conveyance where
necessary. In reoent years town policy has required that the road
be surfa4ed with oil and crushed stone berore acceptarae.
This town Polley of �zany years standing IS based on the belle '
that it is unfair to charge to all the taxpayers of the Town any
cost of providing g a new public hi shway In areas being newly dev-
eloped and, acoordingly, as a resui.t of th:ls polley, several
thousand taxpayers added to the rolls In. re-cont years have in-
directly paid the cost or putting throughh a now road usually
indlreotly through the price they paid for their lata. Any dev-
eloper insetting the price for his lots, plans on the cost to
hies or putting in new roads to become public roads, and sets the
price or his lots acoordingly, If the Town should depart from
this policy In any substantial degree in the oase of i gan Laney
or any other new road within the Town, the Town would be treating
some tai' its residents and taxpayers di;Crerently than others and
many taxpayers wool dot only be paying the coat of putting .in
new roads for their,,use, but would be sharing in the cast or put-
ting in new roads for people they never knew.
The pollcy of our Town as above described is the policy generally
In effect in most, if not all, of the Trois of the State of Now
Cork, and for the same reasons. The existence of this policy a
I
general knowledge among People wk]o deal in real estate, includ-
na lawyoritt real estate men and banks and, If inquiry had been
€fie before You bought your lots. X Im, sure thla would. have been
brought- to your attontion
On the ot;hor hand., the Town Board appreciates that Wou .are our,-
rently Laced with a very dxftlau t Otuation and Intormally our
Board suggests that you and your ne:.ghbors organize to solve the
problem. We hlnk that you probably nodd a sawyer to determine
who Is in the position to deed a 50 foot attip of land along
m an sane fro .l -els all Road to another public road. We
thkak you May wei . need the services of a :surveyor who san pre-
pare a a rvay dosor ption pit the necessary 50 feet and that you
should arrange with a oontraetor for the performance of the nee-
essary work to prat the read in the condition neves a for ae-
eeptanae.
If your attorney should find thatany peraon or persons sftl
and which it i necessary to Include within the 50 foot strip;
refuse to deed what lo necessary, the Town Board would, explore
the bas a on which Oondemnatton would be nst,�tutad by the Town
and word out with you some equitable arrangement to meet the colt
to the Town or Oueh, a proceed ng. in view or the hardship situ-
ation pre"rated by this ease the 'down Board would likelygive
the usua , re"I'rement that the road be surfaced pr Or to its ae-
Oeptance and probably would be walling .to accept a road w'hieh
.has been properly gravelled., ditched and drained..
if you and your neighbors are prepared to go ahead on this basial
ploase be assured that you will have the full cooperation of the
Town Board and all of the pfrutals of the Town in solving your
pa tioula.r problem.
very tml yours
