PUBLIC SEWER FOR WHITE BIRCH LANE

Mr. Millard announced that the purpose for the workshop was to discuss with the residents of White Birch Lane whether or not they were interested in having their properties connected to public sewer.

Mr. Millard explained that Richard Yingst would be paving White Birch Lane in order to provide an alternate entrance/exit to the Brookview development fronting on Sandy Hollow Road. He further explained that Mr. Yingst would be willing to extend a sewer line from his Brookview development to serve the properties on White Birch Lane, if the residents and the Authority agreed to sewer White Birch Lane.

Mr. Millard then invited the residents from White Birch Lane to comment on the project.

Marilyn Calderelli, 248 White Birch Lane. Ms. Calderelli stated that she was in favor of public sewer being extended to her property. She did, however, express concern as to the cost of connecting her property to the sewer because she would have to connect at the front of her home even though her present septic system was located in the rear. Following a brief discussion, Mr. Tyndale offered to meet with Ms. Calderelli to determine what might be the most cost effective way to connect her property.

Manthana Williams, 264 White Birch Lane. Ms. Williams also asked if Mr. Tyndale would look at her property as well. He agreed to do so.

Robert Hanshaw, 7404 Wells Drive. Mr. Hanshaw stated he was representing his daughter who resides at 252 White Birch Lane. He stated that he and his daughter were in favor of connecting to public sewer. He also stated that he believed that the residents on White Birch Lane should only pay the same amount as those who connected on Sandy Hollow Road, or $2,600. Mr. Millard explained that grandfathering was no longer available for properties in West Hanover Township and that the residents would be required to pay the applicable tapping, connection, and customer facilities charges in effect at the time of connection.

George Cooper, 237 Piketown Road. Mr. Cooper spoke in favor of the public sewer. He also stated that a grinder pump would be required to serve his home and asked for an approximate cost of a grinder pump. Mr. Tyndale indicated that the Authority would provide a grinder pump for his property at no cost to him, if it would be needed in order to provide first floor service.

Mr. Jones moved, seconded by Mr. LaDieu, to proceed with providing public sewer to White Birch Lane. The motion was unanimously approved.
