3A. Lands of Hitz, 26026 Scarff Way.
Nancy Ginzton presented a history of the development of the property dating to
1984, noting that a path along the southern boundary of the property was shown
on the 1981 Masterpathway Plan. A 1986 application for development of a
second unit was conditional on granting of a 10-foot path easement tapering to 5
feet as the path approached what were then the “lands of Edmonson” at 14412.
The Town constructed a path, but apparently no easement was ever recorded. By
1991 the path had been plowed under and fenced. (Subsequently the Town
acquired a 5-foot easement along the northern boundaries of 26228.)
-Linda Callen and Ken Hitz noted there were other paths leading into
Esther Clark Park and expressed their preference for an in lieu fee.
-Roselyn Chang, owner at 26228, expressed her concern about privacy
should a path be built along the property lines between her and 26026.
-Brian Froelich noted there will be approximately 900 square feet of
habitable floor space within the 3,100 square feet currently under
consideration for development.
-Carol Gottlieb noted the longstanding preferences by numerous Town
committees to use this path to connect neighborhoods.
After much discussion, the committee agreed to require a 10-foot
easement on 26026 from the cul-de-sac along the southern boundary as it
borders 26228 and continuing 10 feet past the boundary with 14412,
resulting in space enough to taper to a 5-foot meandering path winding
between mature trees and entering Esther Clark Park. Brunzell moved;
Dunkel seconded. 9 Yes. 1 Abstain.
The committee further agreed to require construction of a path,
acceptable to the Town Engineer, connecting Scarff Way with Esther
