TEMPORARY DOCK AT
VETERANS MEMORIAL PARK
The Housatonic Model Yacht Club has asked permission to put a
temporary dock in the lake at Veteran’s Memorial Park when they have their
events. The dock would be removed after
each event. They would like to place it
to the west of the beach area. The dock
would be eight foot with a wheel and handle so that it could be taken out each
time. Selectman Shea moved the motion to
allow the Housatonic Model Yacht Club to put in a temporary dock to be used for
their events at the lake. Selectman
Hurlburt seconded the motion. The vote
taken was unanimous.
ROAD SAFETY SIGNS
First Selectwoman Gorski has received numerous complaints
from residents about the new road safety signs provided to the Town from a
grant through Department of Transportation from both a Federal and State Grant. She had received information from Department
of Transportation that the Town should evaluate the placement and to remove
whatever signs they feel is excessive.
COMMUNICATION FROM
DEEP
The Town has received communication from DEEP regarding
possible contamination of wells in the area of what was formerly Pleasantview
Gas Station on Amity Road now the home of Grand Pizza. Further testing will need to be done.
OTHER
Brian Hanson was present at the meeting to request that the
Town consider putting in either a Yield sign or a Stop sign where Hop Brook
Road and Hop Brook Lane intersect with Bear Hill Road. Brian indicated that in the past there has
been a sign at that location. This
intersection had a study done by Trooper Merriam and he did not recommend a
sign at this location. Following discussion
Selectman Shea moved to put a yield sign in where Hop Brook Road and Hop Brook
Lane intersect. Selectman Hurlburt
seconded the motion. The vote taken was
unanimous.
