Morris reported that a request was received from Joseph Palermo to release PNC
Bank Letter of Credit 00254631-00-000 in the amount of $113,431.00 that was
reduced by the Board to $35,776.00 for the Eagle Subdivision, Phase 1.
Items remaining to be completed include the walking trail, the flood
detention basin (drainage and 85% vegetative cover),
Mr.
Kujawa asked if the basin is the biggest problem now.
There is water problem on
Joseph
Palermo, Palermo Realty and Development, appeared and agreed that there are a
lot of issues to be resolved. He
does not agree with Engineer Morris’ list of items to be completed.
The vegetation is at 85 percent. Regarding
the
Mr. Kujawa stated that the fire department had major concerns about getting
across Tony Goedecker’s property. Mr.
Palermo said if the only way to get the road bond in place is to install the
cul-de-sac, then he has no choice. He’s
hoping the Township and the Eagles Association agree not to have the turnaround.
He emphasized that walking trails are not included in this letter of
credit.
Attorney
Adair said a number of issues need to be discussed and it’s very difficult to
make decisions on everything. He
referred to the May 20 letter to Joseph Palermo regarding the $2,500 request and
having only $1,500 paid on it.
Dr.
Jeff Shivers,
Mr.
Palermo said he would be willing to offer Mr. Goedecker $5,000 he originally
agreed to in order to put in the cul-de-sac.
Mr. McGrath said the Goedeckers’ would then have frontage on a public
street where they could subdivide, sell lots and pay nothing to put the road in.
Engineer Morris offered to go with Mr. Palermo to meet with Mr. Goedecker.
Dr. Shivers said of the four catch basins, one is uphill and not a hearth
drain. It creates a lake of ice
covering the entire
Mr. McGrath asked why the pavement and catch basins were not inspected; Engineer
Morris replied said they were inspected and when the roadway is relatively flat
it is hard to tell until it rains that things are not functioning correctly.
Again, Mr. Palermo pointed out that those catch basins were installed by
Walter Harf. If the basin not
catching water is his, he will correct it. Mr.
McGrath said that it might be a Township problem if this is a section built by
Walter Harf and accepted by the Township.
George
Boyd,
The
pavement issue is reasonably resolved, the detention pond is reasonably
resolved, the catch basins are not resolved, the land needed to construct a
cul-de-sac is not resolved, so Engineer Morris recommended tabling the issue to
review the issues. Attorney Adair
said the Letter of Credit expires June 24. It
did not indicate what it protected or what it didn’t.
Walking trails in lieu of sidewalks are a required improvement.
Mr. Palermo said that perhaps PNC Bank would agree to the tabling because
of the issues involved. He asked to
set up inspections and a meeting to try to get the walking trails issue
resolved. It was moved by Mr. Kujawa
and seconded by Mr. McGrath to table for one week.
Chairman Curtis called for public comment on the matter; none was
received. Motion carried by
unanimous roll call vote.
There
being no citizens to be heard or further business to come before the Board, it
was moved by Mr. McGrath and seconded by Mr. Kujawa to adjourn the meeting.
The motion carried and the meeting adjourned at
