. To: Town Board
From: Graham Foster
Subject: Easter Road/Circle Drive Complaint
On Saturday, 1/18/97 I met with Mr. & Mrs. Morris, Mrs. Chudkosky, and Mr.
James Bosch regarding their letters to Mrs. Smith.
Mr. Bosch's complaint involves private property which is beyond the Highway
Dept's jurisdiction. I told Mr. Bosch if he felt recent grading of his
neighbor's property was causing him problems he should contact Mr. Close to
see if our Town regulations regarding grading permits was followed.
Mr. & Mrs. Morris's property has a negative grade from the west side of
Circle Drive which causes road water to drain toward their home. Also because
they are on a corner the water from the north side of Circle Drivew does
drain down their driveway. In the Spring I agreed to catcp the water with
swales and berms to prevent this from happening.
Mrs Chudkosky lives on the south side of Circle Drive and also has a negative
grade from the shoulder of the road which causes water to drain onto her
property. Here also I can install a series of berms and swales to prevent
this in the Spring.
We also had a complaint from Mr. Campbell. His complaint also involved
private property on the Bosch right of way to Easter Road which is not
withing our jurisdiction.
