REGULAR BOARD MEETING
SEPTEMBER 15, 1993
TOWN HALL
7:30 P.M.
supervisor Kennedy: There definitely is a plan. As soon as a
financing proposal is put together to be presented to the people to
be served ultimately by this new Water District and the cost that
will be incurred. The Bookkeeper has already drawn up and assessed
evaluation of all the properties that would be included within the
area that could be served depending on the size of this tank, which
is under review right now by the Town Engineers. Once that is
determined we can put together the type of package that could be
reviewed by the people in this entire area and a determination will
be made then whether they wish to go forward or not based on the
cost that would- be apportioned to each homeowner.
Bea Bender: This would include the area so called the east hill?
Supervisor Kennedy: We fee! that v/e will be in a position to have
the water up there if fhe people so desire it, at the same time
that the Erie County Water Authority would have their transmission
lines and their pump stations in line in Orchard Park to pump an
adequate supply of water to that elevation.
Bea Bender: If this proposed law would go through and a person
were to dig a well and it is not sufficient.
Supervisor Kennedy: The way this Law would read is that you would
come in and apply for a permit to build. The Board wOuld then ask
the adjoining property owners in that area. Where we know and have
documented evidence that there are extreme problems with water. In
those areas the Board would be reluctant to. grant a permit for
additional dwellings to draw down that water table where we already
know there isn't enough water to accomraodate the people that
already live there.
James Kersten, 6480 Ludon Drive: It seems to rae that you are
opening up a pandora's box with this. The word raoratoriura was used
earlier and the explanation you are giving in effect is alraost
doing the same thing. Providing a moratorium. I don't think that
this is really your intent on building.'
Councilman Flowers: We did not use raoratoriura, simply because it
is not a raoratoriura.
Supervisor Kennedy: It is raore of a restriction than a moratorium.
Resident, Cole / Omphalius: I object to this only because we have
land up there, and who is to say that our land is going to be worth
less than people on the other side of the street? That is
basically what you are saying. Are we going to get a break on our
taxes? I don't think so. I don't see how you can single us out.
I think you have do all of Boston or it just doesn't seem legal.
Madonna Williams 7255 Lower East Hill Road: I would like to see
it expanded to include Lower East Hill Road. In the thirteen (13)
years since we built a new home there we have taken our well from
forty (40) feet to one hundred (100) feet, we have added a suction
pump. I'm buying water so we have drinking water, and I'm taking
my laundry to a laundromat. We do have a problera, and I think need
to expand what you are doing.
Supervisor Kennedy: If we do create this Water District it would
have the capacity to service Lower East Hill Rd. through Boston to
Colden. I don't know yet which way Colden is going to determine it
is in their best interest to receive the water. If they were to
elect it would be better to receive it through Lower East Hill Road
they probably would share in those costs. If they go out route
#240 then it would be up to us to construct those lines.
Lisa Rood 8798 Zimmerman Road: I inquired about including the west
hill in this law, and Councilman Flowers explained to me that it
had to be a separate law. Now you are talking about modifications.
