REGULAR MEETING OF THE TOWN BOARD - May 6, 2019 Town of Clay

Correspondence:

Supervisor Ulatowski asked if anyone wished to address the Board on any items not on the agenda.

Ule Wood of McNamara Drive said that she had heard that the developer of Orange Commons would be having a walk through; however, the residents still have concerns about the pond and drainage that have not been satisfactorily addressed. Supervisor Ulatowski asked the Town Engineer and the Commissioner of Planning and Development if that is in the works. Ron DeTota said that it is not scheduled. He continued that there is a list of items but he is not sure of the status. Supervisor Ulatowski said that there are concerns prior to accepting the road. Councilor Bick added that this will be handled with the highest amount of care for the residents. Mr. DeTota directed the resident(s) to email the Supervisor with all of their concerns. Councilor Pleskach asked if there was money still in escrow to be held until the concerns are met; there is. Another resident, Nancy Schilling of 8533 McNamara Drive said that she has a sink hole in her back yard that she is very concerned about hecause she has a three year old child. She said that she called the highway department and they put a cone over the hole but have not done anything else to address it. Supervisor Ulatowski said that he will look into this.

Shannon Knapp of Dormar Drive asked why the old agenda was still on the web this afternoon. Councilor Hall said that it had been updated late in the day. Mike LaPoint asked again about the Town’s relationship with the Historical Park. He reiterated that when the renovations were being done to the Senior Center, residents were allowed to use the Historical Park building for meetings but since the completion of the renovations only the Senior Center is available. He continued that two years ago $2100.00 was allocated for the Historical Park and last year $10,000.00 was allocated; however, it is not available for use by residents although it is a financial responsibility in the Town Budget. Supervisor Ulatowski explained that it can be used for historical functions and the housing/storage of historical artifacts. He said that he would talk to his financial person regarding the budget inquiry.

Mr. LaPoint then explained that there are trucks in the park in Cherry Estates parking on the lawn on the middle of the night, specifically at 3:56 and 4:04 AM.

He said that there are several residents complaining and some have gotten plate numbers, but the Sheriffs said that they cannot do anything unless they see it happening. Supervisor Ulatowski said that he will contact the Sheriffs Department to request that they patrol and will give the time that these incidents are happening.

Mr. LaPoint concluded by inquiring about paving on Evesborough Drive. He said that he was told this year that it is not on the schedule and last year, someone in the Highway Department said that it had been completed. He explained that REGULAR MEETING OF THE TOWN BOARD - May 6, 2019

Evesborough Drive is like Orion Path, some areas are beautiful and some are like a mine field. Supervisor Ulatowski said that he promised he would follow up, and get over and see the road.
