They want to be sure there's no <br /> difference between the two. We'd gain value of maybe +/- $100K, the easement will <br /> only be a utility access, no other public rights. It first benefits individual owners in <br /> Summerwood. How do we distinguish between mains and laterals? Why should <br /> taxpayers pay $1.5million for the mains? Attorney Mulligan understood and said <br /> Summerwood can't afford that level of expense. <br /> Any townsperson could sue the Town to say it isn't fair. Your (the Sewer Commission) <br /> point is it does provide public benefit. Our dilemma is are we to improve private <br /> primarily for the benefit of property owners, or are we benefitting the entire public <br /> interest? <br /> Mr. Fudala stated that the reason we said no betterments was cleaning out the <br /> estuaries, so we wouldn't have to tie in everyone in town, even though everyone <br /> contributes to the problem. Only a portion will get sewered, but all will benefit. <br />
