PRESENTATIONS

 

Tentative Real Estate Acquisition – Municipal Offices

N. Joseph Yagey provided a status update of the Committee’s efforts to obtain a new municipal building and consolidate some offices.  He noted that over the past fifteen (15) years at least fifteen (15) proposals have been considered.  Interest in one building has been resurrected and the Committee is reviewing this in order to obtain all information for a full presentation; an architect has interviewed every department to be consolidated as well as those not.  The architect gave a preliminary drawing and departments will have their needs met.  The Town will need to prepare specifications and present them to the property owner who will prepare a total cost including “build out”.  Financial arrangements are being worked on and options will be presented to the Town Board.  The Town Attorney will review all agreements with the property owner and their attorney.  If the Town Board approves the proposal, the “build out” would begin and, barring any delays/problems, Town offices could occupy the building by the end of 2008.

PRESENTATIONS (Cont’d)

 

Stormwater Run-off – Whitetail Meadows Development

Michael Fanelli, a two-year resident of Whitetail Meadows, reported an on-going stormwater run-off problem that affects his property.  The existing drainage culvert cannot handle the water flowing down the hill and there is no catch basin or culvert to prevent the water from flowing onto his property; there has been no interior water damage to his residence.  He also expressed development of an adjoining lot when there’s a retention basin, pipes and a catch basin on that lot.  Councilman Payne will meet with Mr. Fanelli.  

 

Stormwater Run-off – Woodstream Court (Woodberry Hills Development)

Gary Wileczka reported that during last week’s rainstorm water flowed down Woodstream Court with some water draining into a catch basin on the high side of the road, but the majority of the water flowing into his yard.  In 2006, he also experienced a significant downpour, which washed out dirt where a ravine begins near his property.  He covered it with riprap but last week’s downpour moved some of the riprap about 50 yards downstream.  He also has flooding on the driveway side of his property.

 

Highway Superintendent Cleveland apprised the Town Board and Mr. & Mrs. Wileczka that the Town’s consultant has analyzed the Woodberry area, which the consultant has divided into nine (9) different areas and identified issues in the Woodberry Hills-Beechwood Road area.  The consultant’s report summarized the issues and addresses remediation efforts and one area targets the Woodstream collection area.  The Highway Superintendent intends to ask the Town Board tonight to approve a contract to begin the final design and construction this season, starting at the bottom of the hill and working upward toward the dam.  Some remediation work may be able to be accomplished by

Town forces, other by contract.  Remainder of the work past the dam area, will be done in future phases starting in the Spring of 2009.  Remediation in the area of Jubilee Estates probably will be done this year.   

 

REPORTS OF TOWN OFFICIALS (Cont’d)

 

Codes Enforcement Officer:

 

Town Code, Chapter 94, Property Maintenance

In accordance with the Town Code, Chapter 94, Property Maintenance, Codes Officer Joseph Booth requested permission to notify property owners of 15 Narla Lane and 10 Mulvihill Drive that the Town will initiate abatement of the public nuisance(s) that exist at each property since no response has been received from either property owner who were mailed certified letters, with return receipt requested.

 

A Town Board member inquired about the status of the property maintenance issue located at 27 Arlington Terrace; Codes Officer Booth responded that the Highway Superintendent (Buildings and Grounds) had secured the vacant residence and that the Parks and Recreation Department will be mowing the lawn.

 

Former Giftland Trailer Park – Town of New Hartford/Kirkland

The former Giftland Trailer Park, located in the Towns of New Hartford and Kirkland, has been sold and the new owners would like to remove several old trailers in the New Hartford section, replacing them with up to two (2) new mobile homes; however, the New Hartford section of the trailer park is not zoned for mobile home use.  Town Attorney Gerald Green is aware of the situation.  Codes Officer Booth inquired whether the Town would consider allowing the Town of Kirkland to annex this “sliver” of land.  The Town of New Hartford could not rezone this small piece of land for mobile home use, as it would constitute “spot” zoning, which is illegal.  Councilwoman Krupa inquired if the property owner might apply for a “use” variance and the Town Board concurred that might be the property owner’s best option.

 

Building Permits

To date, 120 Building Permits have been issued, with an estimated $14,000,000 construction value, with much renovation work versus new construction. 

 

Property Maintenance Violations – Irvin Ave Mobile Home Park

Codes Officer Booth reported that the Colorado property owner had been served with written notice of property maintenance code violations.  The property owner is looking to eliminate all existing mobile homes and having a 5-lot subdivision with a maximum of five (5) mobile homes.

Agreement for Road Paving - Extension

The Town’s paving specifications allow the Town to carry over contract prices for a second year; however, it stipulates a mutual agreement between owner and contractor by December 1st of the year prior.  Superintendent Cleveland talked to the contractor last year and he agreed to an extension again this year; the Town saves money in advertising costs.  This works the same way that the NYS Department of Transportation (DOT) does with the increase of gasoline, etc.; the same formula DOT works under.

 

Upon request of the Highway Superintendent, the following Resolution was introduced for adoption of Councilman Payne and duly seconded by Councilman Reynolds:

 

(RESOLUTION NO. 158 OF 2008)

 

RESOLVED that the New Hartford Town Board does hereby approve an addendum to the 2007 Road Paving Agreement, to extend the unit prices for road paving during 2008
