this had not been planned.

Dan Millard stated that all work on utilities had to go
through a review by the Borough and that much discussion
into this project had taken place. Millard went into greater
detail as to the specifics of the project and the effects of
trenching near the pavement both short and long term.
I Millard discussed compaction, water migration, ditches, road
r
design and building methods.
i
Copeland stated that KEA wanted to avoid damage to the
pavement because they want to avoid repaving costs. He
discussed the placement of the excavated materials along the
lake edge to build the shoulder on the other side of the
road.
Gondek stated that this would be satisfactory as long as the
fill did not enter the Lake.
Sonny Wilson stated that KEA would do everything possible to
follow this plan depending on the substrate.
Millard stated that this fill could not block road drainage.
Sonny requested that if the permit was granted, would the
road be able to be partially blocked for safety.
The Board, after some general discussion agreed that this
project could go on as planned and that the road could be
closed during the progression of the project.
Millard opened discussion as to areas that need to be
addressed regarding culverts and line replacement in the
future.
Conrad stated that the open planning between all parties is
beneficial to all parties and hoped that this process would
continue.
KEA stated that this work needed to be preformed as quickly
as possible as this is a priority project. They also stated
that the Phone Company would also place conduit for joint
trench use.
The Board members stated that the one main concern was that
the power be kept underground to maintain views and to avoid
the use of poles.
Conrad stated that the only concern he had was that the
possible failure of the edge of the road could be delayed by
weather factors and may not appear until next year or later.

process. He stated that this type of planning could benefit
in the budget process.

staking sheet for this project.
