Herb Heyne, resident of Echo Valley Road and Brad Bucks from Edgewater Country Club appeared to ask if an ordinance that would allow golf carts on Echo Valley Road.

The clerk will take the information to Attorney Alberg so an ordinance can be drawn up.

 

Harold Dehart presented and explained the preliminary plan for the sub-division that he is planning off Cty. Road A.

A June 7th date was set for water testing for property owners in the town.

 

Byron Lange said that a meeting should be set up with the property owners on Sand Lane to discuss widening of the road. Also a letter to the owners along Dereg Road notifying them that the road crew will be cutting the sides for ease of plowing.

He gave the board a copy of a permanent easement form to look over. This will be placed on the September agenda. He also noted that the sign on Essex Road has to be moved as it in on the town right-of-way.

The hill on Crass Road has been crushed out, gravel will be hauled to Tannery Road on the 16th and the road should be done by Labor Day and the board should consider doing Essex and Half Moon Lake roads.

The right-of-way on Kings Road from Anderson’s driveway to the new sub-division (approx. 400 ft.) should be cleaned out so the gas line can be laid.
