PUBLIC PARTICIPATION:
1. CANANDAIGUA ROAD SEWER AVAILABILITY INQUIRY:
¨ Dan Teske, real estate broker, inquired as to when sewers would be available on Canandaigua Road, south of Walworth-Penfield Road. He complained that the property had been rezoned as a PUD. Supervisor Guelli stated that the Town is currently negotiating with the Wayne County Industrial Development Agency for funding to extend the sewer line from Gananda Parkway to the north side of the creek at the same time the Canandaigua Road bridge is replaced. Councilman Maciuska stated that the cost to extend the sewer is over $100,000. He emphasized that the residents in the sewer district cannot be expected to finance the project. Supervisor Guelli stated that although grants are not accessible as the town’s median income is too high, money may be available if there were commitments from developers. Councilman Maciuska commented that the developer usually pays for the sewer line. Mr. Teske stated that if the sewer line was extended to the north of the bridge, the property could be marketed. Paul Russell advised that he is preparing a trunk sewer plan, which should be completed by the end of July. Supervisor Guelli noted that a PUD is the best possible zoning as anything is permitted. ¨ Ken Nortier asked when the bridge replacement was scheduled. Supervisor Guelli stated that it will be done this fall.
