B. Sunset Harbor Condominiums, Lot 6, 8624
Sound Drive - Ricky Farrington,
Billy Farrington and Lori Morris, James Stewart & Assoc., were in
attendance to represent this project.
Mr.
Daniel asked about the status of the letter before him regarding the placement
of the drainage pipe on Lot 6. Mr. Rush
advised, The letter clarifies
that the proposed agree-ment with the town and the developers for the
relocation of the existing storm drain pipe on the property. It does
provide drainage for public areas south this area, however, there is no
drainage easement recorded and is not currently maintained by the town.
The pro-posed agreement would make the
developer responsible for relocating
the pipe to the west side of the property, lot 6, and the town to
be responsible for the construction of the pipe to be relocated on the
right-of-way which is about 75
feet. This was consistent with the
discussions that I had with Bob Conrad, Public Works Director, and the
developers back in October when it was discussed in the planning board
meeting. It has since been signed by
both Richard and William Farrington.
Mr.
Ricky Farrington added that it will be noted on the final plat, as well.

to recommend approval for Sunset Harbor, Lot 6, to the Town Board of
