Laue stated the property behind their lot is owned by John Schulenberg of Santuit <br /> Realty Trust and she understands he is the brother-in-law of the John Smith who went to <br /> jail because of the whole problem. It was set aside by the Town when this development <br /> wa�god in as open space. It is not buildable property, it cannot be used. <br /> Mr. Rosenberg stated that does not make any difference, it cannot be used but it cannot be <br /> used by her as a dumping ground either for material or water. <br /> lir. Laue stated they have to deal with realities and some are (Iifficuland some they owe <br /> to John Smith who stole incredibly from this Town, $300 K 20 people lost their houses. <br /> This man used this as a dump of a type that has not been allowed for one hundred years. <br /> There are at least, he measured it, 10,000 c.y. of ruse ire this kettle hole. Twenty feet <br /> from heir foundation is the front end of a rued car sticking out; there are chimneys; a <br /> friend of his told him chemicals were dumped there. This is a dump. The embankment of <br /> the dump was so steep with the jagged mem protruding from it, this is directs behind their <br /> house, that he feared that this was not safe for children around there so he neatly, Bob <br /> Sherman will verify that he staked it as neatly as he could, on top of the embankment as a <br /> temporary way to prevent people from falling down the steep slope. <br /> For many gears, people used this as a dump, far worse than the official dump allowed by <br /> the town.

This is the situation they face, due to the <br /> excavation of their house which is near the top of the embankment, near this dumping <br /> ground, most of the dumping is not on their property, they have disturbed an area 30 x 30 <br /> feet of emb&nl nnent that has been denuded of vegetation clue to the excavation and some <br /> of that has washed down into the bottom of the kettle hole, one-half yard of clean sand. It <br /> is their respnsility but 10,000 yards of probably dangerous refuse, including a Porche, <br /> hay been allowed by the 'fawn for a long period of time. He stated he knew that the Town <br /> has known of this dump because the fwst person that informed hire of it was Bill.Hauck, h <br /> said, "Don't you know that the lot next to yours is filled?", that's how he put it. Now this <br /> m the situation they face, they are Wjing to build a house there and doing the best they can. <br /> As far as the water pipe is concerned the Town does not take responsibility for the road. <br /> The houses are iflegA the roads are <br />
