Dear Supervisor Colsey:
During the past few months this office has been working directly with the Town Consultant Engineer and
Town Attorney in order to determine the ability to provide central water and sewerage facilities to the
above referenced project. This was deemed essential in order to allow the project to proceed specific to
the rezone application (which was formally submitted on October 7, 2009).
At this time, significant progress has been made.
Specific to water, by making certain improvements to the system and extending the transmission limes to
the project, it is understood that from and engineering / technical standpoint, water is available.
Specific to sewer, as understood, based upon an evaluation of the existing system, capacity does exist to
allow for an out of district connection. The procedural aspect of how this would be accomplished is of
future discussions at the Town Board level.
On behalf of our client, we would respectfully request that the above referenced project be placed on the
next available Town Board workshop (January 25, 2010) to discuss the water and sewer issues and Lead
Agency designation.
forward to hearing from you soon. Thank You in advance.
P.E.
