Martz/23 TOi Road
Dear Supervisor Smith & Board Members:
I received a call from Jim Martz of 23 Tor Road regarding the condition of
a drainage stream on the west and north side of his property. Mr. Martz
states that the stream has become overgrown and clogged, and is
subsequently eroding parts of his property. He asked if corrective
measures could be taken.
I advised Mr. Martz that if the Town had a drainage easement there that
the cleaning of the stream could be placed on the work schedule.
However, if there was no drainage easement in place, the Town would
not clean the stream. I advised him that I would write a letter to the
Town Board advising them of the call, and ask what direction you wish
us to take.
I also told Mr. Martz if, in fact, there was an easement, the scheduling of
the work would be up to Mr. Graham Foster, Highway Superintendent,
and that his work load was quite full for the foreseeable future.
If there are any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact
this office.
