TO: PUBLIC WORKS SUBCOMMITTEE FROM: ASSISTANT PLANNER DATE: 8/21/96 REFERENCE: BRIDGE ST. MAP 82 LOT 80. COUNCILOR FEINBERG: A PROBLEM HAS ARISEN REGARDING FILL ON THIS TOWN OWNED PARCEL. THE FILL HAS STARTED TO DETERIORATE THE STRUCTURE ON LOT 79. THEY NEED TO EXCAVATE AND PUT DRAINAGE ALONG STRUCTURE. TOWN ACQUIRED PROPERTY SOMETIME IN THE 1930'S. APPEARS THAT THE REASON FOR ACQUISITION WAS TO ACCESS THE PALMER HOUSE WHICH WAS USED FOR A SCHOOL AND LIBRARY IN THE PAST. NEITHER STRUCTURE EXISTS TODAY. ORIGINAL ACCESS TO THE HOUSE WAS ALONG A DRIVEWAY BETWEEN THE MILL BUILDINGS ON LOTS 79,78 & 77. LOTS 79 & 81 HAVE RIGHTS TO PASS OVER LOT 80. LOT 81 IS IMPROVED WITH A SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING. I HAVE REFEREED THE PROBLEM TO THE MAYORTUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR AND THE TOWN ATTORNEY. MY RESEARCH ON THE PROBLEM HAS LED ME TO THINK THAT THIS IS ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE PARCELS THAT THE TOWN NO LONGER HAS A NEED FOR. THERE ARE SOME LEGAL QUESTIONS THAT ARE BEING ADDRESSED BY THE TOWN ATTORNEY. TOWN LIABILITY AND HOW TO CORRECTLY DISPOSE OF THE PROPERTY. IF YOUR COMMITTEE FEEL THAT WE MAY WANT TO DISPOSE OF THE PROPERTY I WILL BRING YOUR REQUEST TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION FOR AN 8-24 REVIEW. RESPECTFULLY, z�� THOMAS E.
