SEPTEMBER 21, 2006
ATTENDANCE: William Krummel, Chair; Douglas Hempstead; Kevin Poruban
STAFF: Hal Alvord, Director

APPROVALS/AUTHORIZATIONS
1. AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR, RICHARD A. MOCCIA, TO EXECUTE AN EASEMENT AGREEMENT WITH BRIAR STREET, LLC FOR AN EXCLUSIVE EASEMENT FOR ACCESS, CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE OF STORM DRAINAGE FOR A PORTION OF BRIAR STREET
The Committee members reviewed and discussed the site plans with Ms. Korzennik. The neighbors have expressed concern that the paving proposed on Meeker Court. Mr. Krummel said that the area is surrounded by wetlands and this project will improve the drainage. The rip rap will slow down the velocity of the water and there will be less material going into the wetland as a result of the proposal.
Ms. Korzennik said that two trees have reached their lifespan and are dangerous and need to come down.
Mr. Krummel said that he had concerns about the paragraph that said that the property will be returned to the same condition it was immediately before the contractor entered the site. Mr. Alvord said that everything will be removed once the project has been completed.
Mr. Alvord offered to replace the two trees. Ms. Korzennik thanked him and said that she was very appreciative of that offer. Mr. Alvord said that the trees are located close to the property line, therefore he needs to determine if they are on City or private property.
Mr. Alvord said that he would like this project completed this fall. He said that this will become a salt only snow route. When the salt melts it will run into the saltmarsh.
Mr. Alvord described the drainage system and storm sewers that will drain into the rip rapped swale. The objective is to direct the flow into two different directions.
Mr. Krummel will place this item on the next Common Council agenda.

Mr. Alvord explained that the plan was to start at City Hall and removed the brick and re-set it to prevent a tripping hazard. The Committee members discussed the various locations. Mr. Poruban suggested removing the section in front of the Temple on East Avenue. Mr. Hempstead agreed saying that he could not see spending money on sidewalks in front of private property.
Mr. Alvord said that he will talk to Mr. Lennartz to determine the reason for specific locations. He added that if they have to change anything in the contract, they will have to put the contract out for re-bid.
Mr. Krummel will place this item on the next Common Council agenda.
