silted in, not eroded; pipe and sawhorse have not been removed; shoulder needs to be reconstructed; wants input on repairs at time of site development and wants the damage to his property corrected (ponding, loss of grass and lot now not level). Mr. Chown stated that if these sudivision improvements were accepted as completed at this time he would hold the Town responsible. David Ewald, 13830 Page Mill Road, stated that he agreed with Tim Chown. He shared pictures which indicated that the road had been damaged by this project, the fence needed repair and the subdivision work was unfinished. Nancy Bavor, 13816 Page Mill Road, commented that she thought Mr. Chown had valid concerns but she also wanted to see this project completed. Her concern was one of safety especially regarding the fire road and lack of a shoulder. She believed this would result in increased traffic and speeding. Ramona Chown, 13822 Page Mill Road, stated that she had a clear view of Moon Lane and was very concerned about the safety issue of not having a shoulder. The City Manager addressed the issues raised. He noted that the sawhorse and pipe could easily be removed; the ponding on the Chown property could be addressed if not now then under the warranty bond; the fence could be checked; and the Fire Department would check the fire road and the gate. On the subject of the shoulder, he noted that the outside edge had been raised in part therefore the use of a Class 2 aggregate base which was appropriate as this was not a pathway. Dauber inquired about the responsibility for the drainage easement and highly recommended the Town remove the fast-growing pampas grass in that location. She also referred to the shoulder and noted that everyone would like to see a path there but the Town was unable to get an easement as the ownership was unclear. She recommended that the residents along Moon Lane get a road maintenance agreement. Siegel concurred with Dauber stating that more development will occur along Moon Lane. Hubbard did suggest that perhaps the shoulder could have a better transition without too much expense. PASSED BY CONSENSUS: To direct the City Manager to address the following improvements remove pipe and sawhorse; look at fencing; hold pampas grass in check; place lock on fire road; address transition of shoulder; and deal with ponding on Chown property once it dries out and to bring these subdivision improvements back to the Council at their next meeting for acceptance. 5.
