MINUTES October 13, 1994 S BOARD OF HEALTH Mr. Ball stated, "I am basing it on the fact that he is not the original developer." "I don't think we had enough information last week to even vote on this." Mr. Doherty stated, "Things change." "When the original developer built this we did not have town water there." "It goes against our policy where water is available town water is the only approvable source." "Are we arguing the technicality of availability?" Mr. Marsters stated, "I would like to argue that point if I could." "I would say that town water is available to this property here coming down Dover, no question about it." "It is not available down the Windermere side down here." "Let's take another instance, I'm trying to think of a house that I had that is a corner lot." "I lived on the corner of Meadowbrook and Monomoscoy." "Say Monomoscoy was down here and Meadowbrook was right here, the water comes down Monomscoy here so technically, I'm paying my betterment, you are absolutely right because they are getting me on the side, it's not coming in the front." "But, nobody down Meadowbrook, the next lot removed can't get water down Meadowbrook." "They are calling that not available." "Isn't this the same incident as where my own personal residence is in right now, not available." Mr. Cram questioned, "Are you talking about being double charged based on it being a corner lot?" Mr. Marsters responded, "No, I am talking about it's not available the next lot removed down." "This is the next lot removed down, same circumstance." "It is not considered available to me." Mr. McQuaid stated, "Maybe this is something we should look into." Mr. Marsters stated, "We definitely should, but as of right now it is not available." Mr. McQuaid stated, "The same development with vacant lots remaining to be built in Seabrook Meadows where water's available on Monomoscoy but not down the side streets." Mr. Marsters stated, "Right, and if town water did want to come down from that one lot removed you would have to petition the owner's to see if more than 50% want town water." "If that is the case wouldn't we have to petition 50% of the owners if they wanted town water down here too." "They have already been asked once and they didn't want it." "I'm not saying they don't want it now but shame on them for not taking it the first time." "So that incidence that I am living in right now as in any other subdivision that you deal with when town water comes down here but not this side is no different from this one right here and that is considered non-availability."
