338
REGULAR BOARD MEETING
SEPTEMBER 15, 1993
Can this law in effect be modified?
TOWN HALL
7:30 P.M.
Supervisor Kennedy: Yes. This could include all areas in town not
covered by Erie County Water.
Joyce Corlett: If this was going to be on a case by case basis, we
would know the areas that are having problems.
Town Attorney Perley: We canriot expand the legal description of
this Local Law without another Public Hearing. We can reduce it
but we cannot expand it.
Ed Landsman, 8096 Cole Road: How would you determine, would you
ask the people on either side of a lot? What if these people don't
tell the truth. How is this plan based? I never run out of water.
But I also want to sell a lot if I have to.
Supervisor Kerinedy: There definitely are some real difficulties in
the implementation of a law like this. We do have documentation in
certain areas and are aware that in some areas there is a serious
problem with water.
Glen Orser: I think expediency is important here. We have a law
before the Board. I think that law should be acted on upon rather
than amended so that we don't have to delay the process again.
That our district could be a sample of how other districts could do
the exact same thing.
Dave Regan: There are people living on the east hill that do not
have water. Empty lots don't need water, people do. If there is
water running by a lot and there is no problem with the neighbors
let them build there. The reason that this law has to go in is
because there are people on the hill who don't have any. They are
raising families and they don't have water.
Ernie Celani, 6872 Omphalius Road: I have a lot of compassion for
the people on the east hill. I believe that we are looking at this
wrong. The real solution here is to bring water up the hill. I
don't think it is right to put neighbor against neighbor in this
situation.
Betty Schmidlin, 7443 Crestwood Circle: I have lived in Boston
for thirty-five (35) years and have never run out of water. I feel
sorry for these people, but I don't think you can take this
privilege away from them because they live in a certain area.
Bea Bender: In areas where lots are one hundred (100') feet apart
that's alright but where acreage is involved like with my children,
that's a difference circurastance.
Supervisor Kennedy: What you are saying is that the Board should
probably make special dispensation where there are one hundred
(100') foot lots and the people are living in close proximity
there should be a different consideration than where there might be
acreage involved. Where there is a much less chance of infringing
upon the same water system.
Pat Gurney, 7052 Chestnut Ridge Road: One of the things I think we
are overlooking, when we had our spring problem it was the result
of a house being built. Just after the well was drilled we lost
our water. This is not the lot next to us. It is more than
probably a half-mile to three-fourths of a mile down the road. It
is just the fact that when a well is drilled, it does not have to
be right next door. I thihk the proposed law is one part of the
solution, and we are not talking about forever. We are talking
about until the water goes through. I would really be in favor of
this.
