OLD BUSINESS D1 Invoices Kevin Arndt stated that he went to A-K Construction on 4/28/98 and all outstanding Service District #1 invoices are ready and should be sent out within a day. Wilton White Way Scott Arndt stated that at the last Service District #1 meeting the Board voted to not maintain the easement portion of Wilton White Way. Mr. Perez came to an Assembly work session and said he would like to appeal the Service District's decision. Jerome Selby said that there was no need to appeal, that he is overruling the Service District. Wilton White Way will be maintained effective immediately. NEW BUSINESS Water problem on Lilly Drive vin Arndt stated that a letter was received from Eileen & Pete Probasco (Lot 5C, Bk6) , Matt & ,egan Moir (Lot 5A, Bk6) and Craig & Linda Zimmer (Lot 6,4, Bk6) regarding drainage problems on Lilly Drive. Eileen Probasco spoke about the ongoing drainage problems that not only effect her lot but neighboring lots also. Eileen gave a description of the current drainage route. She asked that the Service District address this problem and re-route the drainage in this area appropriately by abandoning or blocking the existing culvert under Lilly Drive. Matt Moir stated that he would like to fence his yard but the drainage ditch encroaches approximately 10' onto his property. Craig Zimmer spoke about the same water drainage problem. He stated that water drains into the lot he is in the process of purchasing (lot 6A). Kevin Arndt spoke about the possibility of installing a culvert on Balika to help correct the drainage path. He also suggested cleaning the ditches, this may solve the problem vs. installing more culverts. Robert Greene asked Eileen Probasco why a culvert was not installed under her driveway when the house was built? Eileen stated that it was required by the Borough Construction Inspector when the lots were developed and prior to final plat approval, but that the requirement was never enforced upon the 4eveloper. He was allowed to finalize and sell the lots without adequately addressing the problem. He ovided a drainage plan, but no easements. Ncott Arndt stated that the current drainage in the Lilly Drive area is the original drainage for the area. Ae spoke of the responsibility of a lot owner and having to accommodate the water that drains onto their lot. Ms. Probasco reminded him that property owners cannot impede or block natural water paths, but Borough code allows that water can be re-routed and requires that easements be provided along those paths. No easements were platted for the drainage of the water through any of the lots in question. Scott Arndt suggested postponing this item until the Service District #1 Board has the opportunity to look at the drainage plan for Ed Mahoney's subdivision prior to making a decision on this issue. Jennifer Spencer felt that an engineer's recommendation would be helpful with this issue. Kevin Arndt agreed and mentioned that he would speak with the Borough engineer, Chris Lynch. Dust Abatement The Board discussed the dust abatement options including a surface similar to the Hall Road in Bells Flats. Kevin Arndt stated that Service District #1 spent approximately $40,000 last year on dust abatement. The Board decided to use calcium chloride for dust abatement. Scott Arndt suggested making a partial order now and another order mid -summer. Kevin Arndt suggested purchasing two 20' flats of calcium chloride. He stated that he would check with A-K Construction about storage. ChId Mahoney motioned to order 2 flats of calcium chloride. Scott Arndt seconded. Motion passed by unanimous voice vote. Street Signs The Board discussed the street sign problem throughout the Woodland Acres subdivision. Kevin Arndt suggested putting in 3 stop signs and removing the yield sign at the intersection of Gull and Puffin. Scott Arndt was concerned about putting speed limit signs up when there's not appropriate enforcement available. Kevin Arndt felt that street signs are a good visual tool to help remind people to slow down. Jennifer Spencer also felt that street signs were necessary, and the residents of the Woodland Acres subdivision are concerned and voiced their concern by signing the petition. Scott Arndt stated that if speed limit signs are installed in the Woodland Acres subdivision then the Service District #1 would be responsible Service District wide for speed limit signs. Ed Mahoney motioned to install speed limit signs on Puffin and Gull and children at play signs in the Woodland Acres subdivison. Jennifer Spencer seconded. Ayes Kevin Arndt Ed Mahoney Jennifer Spencer Robert Greene foes Scott Arndt lotion passed 4-1. City Annexation Plan The City Annexation Plan was supplied for the Service District #1 Board to review. Scott Arndt did not anticipate the Service District #1 Board taking action on the plan at this time. Scott Arndt felt that there was good and bad points with the proposed plan but ultimately it is up to the voters. He also voiced concern about the rural residents loosing the rural loan program. There was Board discussion regarding the City Annexation Plan proposed options, etc. The Service District #1 Board was in favor of consolidation. Scott Arndt spoke of what is happening on the Assembly level with the City Annexation Plan. BOARD COMMENTS Scott Arndt stated that the Board should be looking at the potential number of street signs that would be needed throughout Service District #1. Robert Greene felt that signage is a good idea. Jennifer Spencer spoke favorably for signage throughout the Service District. d Mahoney was concerned about who was monitoring the driveway permits (including culverts) within the Borough. Becky Lorentz stated that the Engineering and Facilities Director, Chris Lynch is reviewing all driveway permits.
