-1 C ? <br />Mr. John LaRiche - 925:Beecher.1s.,Bro6k - said the road has been patched <br />several times in the seven years he has.lived there. He feels any asphalt <br />that was resurfaced, even if no one drove on it, that chuckholes and <br />deterioration would still occur within ten to twelve years. <br />Mr. Raia commented that Mr. Stankus who lives on Beecher's Brook is an <br />authority on highway road building in this area. Several times Beecher's <br />Brook Road was patched by contractors that had just finished a highway <br />job, at his request. It was not all done by the Village. <br />Mr. Etzler stated the bond allocations is something the Village is going to <br />have to look into. As far as the road is concerned, the normal procedure <br />is for the Village to accept for maintenance a road that has been right and <br />properly installed. He feels the suggestion of the Village installing the <br />road and the property owners maintaining it is backwards. <br />Mr. Raia commented they felt the expense of maintaining the road would be <br />less than the cost of repaving. He feels the Village should recognize their <br />error in returning the bond and fix the road. <br />Mr. Frank Russo stated five of the original residents that were there when <br />this happened still reside on Beechers Brook. Mr. Stankus and NIr. Raia <br />pleaded with the Village at that time not to let their road be used when <br />building the houses at Aintree North, which is what created the problem. <br />Mr. Amendola said he would like kept in mind the problems the Service Department <br />has when plowing snow on barricaded roads. <br />A resident commented in the event of a fire a barricade could cost someboyd's <br />life, because of the difference in arrival time of the Fire Department. <br />Yir. Raia commented the difference was difficult to measure as it is less than <br />one tenth of a mile. <br />Council President Spellman said Council will study the proposal at its <br />Committee of the Whole Meeting next Monday, June 28. The comments made in <br />reference to Beech Hill will be considered at that meeting also. Then <br />Council will get back to all the residents of Beech Hill and Beechers Brook. <br />Hickory Hill Drive <br />Council President Spellman stated Judge Grogan attended a Council Meeting a <br />couple of weeks ago and has also talked to several Council members about a <br />commitment that was made on Hickory Hill Drive. He said he is not completely <br />aware of what the problems entail asking if Mr. Amendola could comment. <br />Mr. Amendola explained a dual catch basin has collapsed which is one of 32 <br />that has collapsed in the Village, requiring repair. It has since been <br />opened and repair 'nas been started. It will require a period of time to <br />repair as the pipe is cracked on the inside. It must be repaired properly <br />and could not be done during the winter or spring months so they have just <br />begun the work now.
