Drainage at Carraige Drive & Lower Lane
Carriage Drive-Morgan updated the Executive Board on the drainage situation
at 78 Carriage Drive, the Rogala property. The Rogala's have a problem with
-2-
their lateral line. The Water Control Commission is also looking into the
problem at 78 Carriage Drive. Morgan also said that the sidewalk floods
due to the drainage problem which could be a potential liability problem
for the Town as well. Morgan sent Don Prue out to 78 Carriage Drive to
survey the property and Don suggested putting in a yard drain (under drain)
into the sideyard. Morgan said that Pepin could do this pipework and drain
at an approximate cost of $1,000-$1,500. The drainage problem would not be
solved there because 4-5 houses in the area have the same problem. Morgan
said that if the Executive Board suggested that the work be done this may
open up the requests from other property owners. The area located above
Carriage Drive was required to have swales when the original subdivision went
in; but these are filled in and no longer maintained by the property owners
located above Carriage Drive. To restore the swales would be more costly,
according to Morgan.
Meadow Lane-Morgan said there was not enough money in the current fiscal year
to handle the drainage problems on Meadow Lane and suggested that this be done
next fiscal year. Mr. Kignsbury asked where and why the money was spent.
Morgan said most of the drainage money was spent on streets and not property
owners. The majority of the money went on Orchard Road drainage, Mooreland
Road, etc. Mr. Kingsbury said he would like the pipe extended to the back of
the property on Sturtevant at the edge of the swamp. Morgan said he would
check with Pepin to see if the work could begin this fiscal year with the
bill paid from next fiscal year. Morgan also said he would be going out to
bid on the drainage as well.
Reduction of Easement-Lon~view Drive
Morgan said it was customary to have a 20' easement and suggested that
be reduced from 50' to 20' on the ?.69 acre parcel on Longview Drive as
-3-
requested by William C. Kroll in his letter dated May 5, 1986. Mayor Ward
moved to approve the reduction in easement from 50' to 20' on the 7.69 acre
parcel on Longview Drive subject to approval by the Planning Commission then
go to Town Meeting, seconded by Mr. McNair, passed unanimously.
