BILL NUMBER:S6129A
Title of bill
An act to amend the town law, in relation to authorizing the town board of the town of Hyde Park, in the county of Dutchess, to diminish the area of the Greenfields water district
Purpose
To authorize the town of Hyde Park to diminish the size of the Green- fields water district.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 amends Section 202-c of the town law to allow the town board of the town of Hyde Park to determine if the diminishing of the Green- fields water district is in the public interest. The town is required to hold a public hearing, provide notice and shall be subject to a permis- sive referendum.
Justification
The town board of the town of Hyde Park has requested enabling legis- lation to authorize the town to diminish the Greenfields water district which was first established in 1977. A study was submitted to the town board by the town engineer on February 7, 2000, stating that the exist- ing water facilities were operating at full capacity and a substantial sum of money would need to be expended to upgrade the system to serve 119 vacant lots.
Since that time, the town established a moratorium on new development in the Greenfields District and work was completed on the sewer collection lines to reduce the inflow and infiltration into the collection lines.
A cost evaluation study was submitted to the town board on October 5, 2007 which estimated that if the 119 vacant lots in the Greenfield sewer and water district were to be serviced, the annual benefit assessment would increase by $518.22 per unit for existing property owners from $1,046.54 to $1,564.76. Further, it was estimated that if service was provided to the 119 vacant lots, the annual benefit assessment would increase by $1,556.49 from $8.27 to $1,564.76.
As such, the Greenfields Sewer and Water Advisory Committee requested the Town to remove the 119 vacant lots from the Greenfields Sewer and Water District.
