Attention: Constance O. Smith, Supervisor
Reference: Rowell Lane Drainage/Curbing Project
The second report concerns the Rowell Lane Drainage/Curbing Project. Mr.
Paggi's office reviewed the letter from Mr. & Mrs. DiDonato of 14 Carroll
Drive, explaining that the contractor that had completed the work on Rowell
__it
12/26/00.RGM
I Lane had left their yard low. He made a field inspection and the end result
is, it did settle after a hard rain. He pointed out in his report that the reason
for the problem on Rowell Lane is that the ground sloped down to the curve
very steeply which caused the icing problem on the roadway. Mr. Paggi
explained the efforts that were taken to reduce the amount of runoff entering
the roadway from the adjacent properties. He will be coming back next
spring, adding more top soil, seeding and mulch.
COUNCILMAN PAOLONI moved to accept the report and place it on file.
Seconded by Mr. Bettina
Motion Unanimously Carried
We have also attached a post-construction photograph #2, showing the constructed swale along
the DiDinoto property.
At this point, we would like to respond to Mr. & Mrs. DiDinoto's concerns regarding the
condition of their property as a result of the construction.

RE: Rowell Lane
-2-
December 7, 2000
On November 6th, 2000, this office along with the Town Highway Superintendent, conducted a
final inspection of the project. At that time, we looked at both the post-construction conditions
as well as any possible improvements which could be made along Carroll Drive. We found a
few minor items with the new construction and formulated a punch list which was forwarded to
S.1. Lore Contractors. A copy of that letter has been attached.
As for the improvements on Carroll Drive, we felt that the installation of an additional catch
basin on the west side of Carroll Drive and increasing the crown of the road on the western
portion of Carroll Drive was a feasible option. The additional catch basin would remove more
water from the gutter line and the increased crown would force the road runoff to the gutter
line instead of sheeting across the road.
Prior to installing the catch basin on Carroll Drive, Mr. Foster called Underground Utilities for
a markout in this area. Upon completion of this markout, it was found that an existing gas line
ran along the western side of Carroll Drive, which would not allow for the installation of the
catch basin. Subsequently, the Town Highway Department tied the existing curtain drain from
the DiNinoto property into the existing storm line on the west side of Carroll Drive.
The paving work required to increase the crown of the road is scheduled to be done, weather
permitting.
In regard to the settlement and condition of the swale along the DiDinoto property, the
contractor will return in the Spring to add fill to the settled areas, regrade the swale, and seed
and mulch the entire area. The Contractor is responsible to establish grass in all disturbed
areas. The Town will retain 5% of the contractor's money to insure that this work is
completed.
Also, we would like everyone to understand that the grade of the slope in this area along
Rowell Lane will be slightly different than it was in pre-construction conditions. Prior to
construction, the grade sloped directly to the back of the curb. However, due to the need of the
small swale above the curtain drain, the slope will change to accommodate this. We will have
the contractor flatten this slope as much as possible to insure that this area can be mowed.
If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact this office.

Charles !n~E.
