Public Comments Mr. Bruce Yeager of 450 Central Drive asked what caused the flooding at the Borho property by Scarborough Station. He stated The Club was on the cusp of opening its doors and urged the Board of Trustees to evaluate their compliance and have a third party assist with the review. Village Engineer Turiano stated a third party (Chazen Engineeing) was in place and will assist. He stated there was a list of compliance items that was already prepared and given to The Club. Mr. Ryan Kane of 100 Lodge Road echoed Mr. Yeager’s comments.
