The DPW’s engineer requested some changes on the as-built plans and also that a pedestrian sign that was knocked down be re-installed. Fuss and O’Neill also requested that two catch basin hoods be installed. The roadways are constructed well, the comments are being addressed and the as-builts reflect the constructed roadways, therefore the DPW continues to recommend accepting the roadways. The entity performing snow removal on the roadways is outside of the acceptance criteria and I apologize for bringing it up as part of this conversation before. This issue has been resolved. Specifically, I have spoken with Dell’s snow removal contractor and I am confident that we can come up with a snow removal contract that will not affect the DPW’s existing snow removal operations and that will keep the Coslin Drive and Washington Street area clear of snow and ice. After meeting with representatives from Dell and Beals and Thomas, and with the Town Planner, on site yesterday, I re-checked the plans and can confirm that street tights were part of the subdivision submission. I still believe that the Town should not take on liability for the lights. However, the Town has recently given a license to an association so that they could install street lights on the right of-way. Therefore. I recommend that the Town work with Dell to see if they will agree to hold a license for the ownership, maintenance and upkeep of the lights and appurtenances.
