Smith, Supervisor Reference: Dana Place Drainage Dear Supervisor Smith & Board Members: At the March 8th, 1999 Town Board meeting, our office was asked to draft a letter to the Town Board regarding Dana Place drainage project. We were specifically asked where the runoff that runs through the rear yard of the Sarno property, which is just off the cul-de-sac of Dana Place, comes from, and whether or not extending the storm drain that now exists on Dana Place to intersect that runoff would have a public benefit, The answers to these two questions were previously highlighted in my May 14th, 1996 letter and are further explained below. A review of the topographic map of the area and numerous field inspections demonstrate that the runoff in the Widmer Road area and the pond just north of Widmer Road (Berberick Pond) flows in a northerly direction across the rear of the lots adjacent to Dana Place. This runoff then flows across and through properties fronting on Wildwood Drive and eventually winds up settling in a low spot on Wildwood Drive approximately 200' east of Dana Place. Therefore, it can be said that this runoff emanates from the Widmer Road area including the roadway itself. If the existing drainpipe on Dana Place is extended to the rear of Sarno property to intercept the stream, it would, in fact, cut off the flow of water that now gets down and settles in the low area on Wildwood Drive. This, in effect, would provide a public benefit in that drainage facilities would not have to be extended from the intersection of Dana Place east on Wildwood Drive to this location and pick it up.

Smith Town Board Re: Dana Place Drainage - 2 - March 9, 1999 It would, in my opinion, be a very neat and efficient way of intercepting this flow as the flow is rather concentrated at that location. It, therefore, can be said that a public benefit would be served. If there are any further questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact this office.

Smith, Supervisor Reference: Stop Sign on Pine Ridge Drive Dear Supervisor Smith & Board Members: At the March 8th, 1999 Town Board meeting, we were asked to make a field inspection of the Pine Ridge Drive and Rosewood Drive intersection. A field inspection was made of this intersection with Graham Foster on March 9t", 1999. It is our feeling that a "Stop" sign be placed on the intersection of Pine Ridge Drive as it intersects with Rosewood Drive at the northeast corner of the intersection as shown on the sketch enclosed. We have also shown the previously proposed "Stop" sign location at the intersection of Pine Ridge Drive and Dorothy Lane. This was transmitted to the Board in a letter to the Board dated February 3,d, 1999. It is further recommended that the intersection of Pine Ridge Drive and Rosewood Drive be realigned on the northeast corner to better channelize the flow of traffic and to provide for efficient location of the sign itself. The above recommendation at Pine Ridge Drive and Rosewood Drive is made specifically due to the limited sight distance looking north and south on Pine Ridge Drive and Rosewood Drive, respectively. If there are any further questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact this office. V~ truly Yr~n ~ ~~pa'ggi, ~":'t? JEP:law Enclosure: Sketch cc: Hon.
