Mr. Keller stated that he was going to need descriptions for the sight triangle easements, they need to be recorded and to be appropriately approved by his office and by legal counsel. He also stated that the sewer easement due to a failing septic systems at some point will need to be replaced. They now run through the drop off lane right at the front of the church then runs across through the parking lot to the property line that abuts the neighbors. Chairman Buechler stated that it was his understanding that it’s not going under the building itself. Mr. Keller replied that it was never under the building it was always in the parking lot. He continued to describe how and why a manhole will be needed at the sewer easement. He continued to state that they need to come to an agreement and plan as to how they are going to do that. The concern is if the sewer line goes in later it will be difficult getting into the front of the church because the work with happen in that drop of lane. Chairman Buecler asked if the Town would be to pay for the sewer hookup. Mr. Keller stated because it is on someone else’s property the Town would do the work and would recoup the cost by an assessment to those properties. Chairman Buechler stated that there isn’t a legal or factual basis to compel the temple to foot the bill for putting in the piping. They have to give an easement which they are willing to do. He continued to state that is why I asked Mr. Williams earlier if the issue with the two homeowners to the North had been resolved regarding the pipe being built under the easement. We cannot force them to do what is right but neither can we force the applicant. He agreed that Mr. Petry had to refine his drawings in that section in the front of the building. Mr. Keller agreed and added the applicant needs to weigh what the additional cost is to put in the the manhole and some piping versus the potential disruptions to their operations. Chairman Buechler suggested that maybe have Mr. Lepore call the neighbors to say that it behooves them to reach out to Mr. Petry or Mr. Williams now because it is economically to their advantage to do it today than to wait a year or more. He continued to tell Mr. Petry to make those changes because the revised finalize drawings will be a condition that will have to be done. Mr. Keller noted Chairman Buechler’s suggestions.
