The Board reviewed the request of Mr. Ronald Somers requesting
permission to connect to the sewer at Ellis Avenue and asking for a
possible waiver or reduction in the sewer frontage assessment because of
the fact that the Town need not extend the sewer to serve his property.
The Superintendent reported to the Board that the present sewer frontage
assessment rate is $5.85 per foot and at the time the Ellis Avenue sewer
was constructed, the frontage rate was $4.00 a lineal foot. A discussion
ensued relative to the merits of the request.
Mr. DeHart moved that a sewer house connection be allowed to the
house at 40 Ellis Avenue and betterments be assessed at the rate of $4.00
per lineal foot at a full frontage assessment of $580.00. It was
seconded.
