Water will be supplied to the new district by the City of Canandaigua and the Village of Newark. Code related issues: Supv. Eddinger informed those in attendance, that he will be reviewing the proposed code and changes later this meeting and following that review, a Public hearing date will be set.
Assessor's report - Assessor Bement updated the Board with the following information:
-- The Palmyra Assessor made contact with Assessor Bement to state her concern that there appears to be some properties along our mutual boundary line that are assessed in Manchester. Three homes appear to be within the bounds of Wayne County (Town of Palmyra). This same issue has surfaced in the past and it was left alone. Assessor Bement suggested to the Palmyra Assessor that if the Palmyra Town Board wanted to pursue changing this situation, they should contact their Town Attorney to produce whatever paperwork is legally necessary. Assessor Bement will keep the Board informed as to the decision.
-- The deadline for property owners to file their Small Claims for Article 7 petitions was 7/31/05. The Town has been served one residential Small Claims petition and three (3) article 7 petitions. One petition is from Prestige Communities contesting the values of three of their Parks. The second filing is from Clifton Park Associates and the third is from Palmyra Associates.
Zoning Officer's report - Code Enforcement Office, Steve DeHond, reported the following:
-- Total permits issued in July 2005 were 18, with estimated construction costs totaling approximately $133,240.00. Fees collected - $812.80
-- Septic issues. Steve DeHond had sent letters to two individuals regarding failed septic systems. As of today, one has been corrected; and the other should be corrected by the end of this week. Councilman Bolton informed the Board that he had received comments regarding the County doing septic system inspections, as discussed at prior meetings, and was advised not to go with the county for these inspections. No other discussion at this time.
