Page 6 of 10
Mrs. Stanley read the positive recommendation by the Planning Commission.
She then asked Mr. Buckley for an overview. Mr. Buckley showed an existing catch
basin and proposed 24-inch pipe. The drainage easement is in favor of the City and is
done similarly to sewer and water extensions, except that the eight steps are not
required. It is agreed that the easement will be installed consistent with the plans. He
recommends that the committee act favorably on this request.
Attorney Gottschalk said what he does, once approval is given, is work out the
language to be given by the property owner and make sure the property owner owns
the property free of any mortgages or liens. If there is a mortgage, the Corporation
Counsel’s office makes sure that it is secondary to the City’s interest. The petitioner’s
attorney must give the City a certificate and it is filed with the map and deed on the
land records. He makes sure that there is a conveyance tax filed and that the city is
protected.
Ms. Burns made a motion to recommend approval of the easement. Seconded
by Mrs. Stanley.
The report was received on the Consent Calendar and the committee’s recommendation
adopted.
27 – REPORT – Speeding on Moody Drive
Mr. Trombetta submitted the following report:
The Common Council Committee appointed to review speeding on Moody Drive met on
September 27, 2004 at 7:00 P.M. in the Third Floor Caucus Room in City Hall. In
attendance were committee members Trombetta, Burns and Barry. Also in attendance
were Police Captain Arthur Sullo, Deputy Corporation Counsel Eric Gottschalk, Council
Members Cavo, Basso, Stanley and Teicholz, ex-officio and members of the public.
Captain Sullo stated that he checked the computer records on Moody Drive and
found that only two complaints had been reported. There is a rotation list for the speed
sign and this helps to reduce speeding on residential streets. He can proactively assign
a campaign to have the traffic unit pay attention to this street. Mr. Barry asked about
the proposed time period. Captain Sullo said it could be started within seven to fourteen
days and the duration of the campaign could be between seven and fourteen days as
needed. Captain Sullo noted that the speed signs in the area have been stolen or taken
down. After a site visit, if there are not enough signs, he will contact Public Works to
install the proper signage.
Mrs. Basso noted that there is a handicapped sign on the street so the speed
limit should be 25 miles per hour. She has also noticed brush obscuring the sign and it
cuts into the sight line as well. Captain Sullo said he would send a memo to Public
Works to have the brush trimmed. Captain Sullo also stated that he would consult with
the Traffic Engineer about reducing the 25-mile per hour speed limit.
Mr. Barry made a motion to recommend authorizing Captain Sullo to proceed
with his suggestions. Seconded by Ms. Burns. Motion carried unanimously.
The report was received on the Consent Calendar and its recommendations adopted.
