Easements
This week town officials also released the revised easement agreement which town property owners will be required to sign by April 1.
The agreement will require a 10-foot strip - five feet from the centerline of the connection pipe - from the street to the grinder and pump station which will have a five-foot protected radius.
The grinder/pump station will have a 30-inch diameter cap sitting three inches above grade with a control box on a post 12 inches above the cap.
Copies of the revised easement agreement are available at Town Hall.
Growth
The issue of growth came up again, but this time it w'as suggested that the ordinance actually discouraged the growth in the town the sewer project is relying on.
Referring to the doubling of hook up fees from $7,500 to $15,000 for all new' users - any new building or dwelling built after Jan. 1, 2009 - attorney Peter Luke said, “I don't think this encourages people to come here and build."
Luke also said that the “model is based on growth and the ordinance should have policies that encourage that.”
He also noted that there has been no growth in the town lately, and that the town has probably lost population.
Next meeting
The council ended the evening by voting to advertise another public hearing on March Hat 7:30 p.m. at which the final sewer ordinance and easement agreements will be presented and voted on.
The council also voted to table approval for suggested water system repairs until the next meeting as the collection system construction is not currently near any of the old water mains, according to town attorney John Bennett.
