Re: Sammartino Subdivision —118 Curry Road
VSRPV File No. 12949.0307
Application No. 02-5050
Dear Joe:
I am enclosing herewith a proposed resolution authorizing a tax adjustment to Thomas
and Eleanor Sammartino of $492.74. Attached to the Resolution is Thomas Logan's
apportionment of the taxes for the 4.751 acre parcel donated to the Town. Tom
calculated the basic Non -Homestead portion of the property tax to be $719.67 for school
tax and $292.79 for state/ county/ town tax. The parcel donated to the Town comprised
60% of the Non -Homestead parcel.
Tom mistakenly calculated the adjustments as of February 1, 2003. The adjustments
were made as of three months earlier, November 1, 2002.
If there are any questions, please contact me.
Very truly yours,
VERG , STENGER, ROBERTS, PERGAMENT & VIGLOTTI, LLP
