Move cars off roads or get towed
By PETE KLEIN
LAKE PLEASANT— Highway Superintendent Randy Lavarnway told the Lake Pleasant Town Board at its December 2 meeting that there have been cars left on the side of the roads during the past snowstorms which have hindered the snowplows.
Lavarnway pulled the Local Law for 2011 which was Prohibiting the parking of vehicles on all highways, roads, public streets, shoulders and right of way in the Town of Lake Pleasant.
After some discussion, a motion was offered by Robert Peck and 2nd by Nancy Seifts to amend local law #1, 2011 prohibiting the parking of vehicles on all highways, roads, public streets, shoulders and right of way in the town of lake pleasant.
The amendment reads: “RESOLVED, that section of the former Local Law #1 2011 has been amended by removing the dates and hours and cost. The paragraph will be replaced as follows: Section 111 The town Superintendent of Highways is hereby authorized to cause any vehicle found parked left standing on any highway, road, public street, shoulder of right of way in the Town of Lake Pleasant prohibited by this Local Law to be towed away and removed from such highway, road, public street, shoulder or right of way and in lieu of fine, the owner of such vehicle or the person who parked such vehicle or left the same standing in violation of this Local Law may pay the actual cost of towing or removing such vehicle from the highway, road, public street, shoulder or right of way.(The full law is filed in the Town Clerk’s office).”
The amendment was approved by all.
Highway Superintendent Lavarnway also informed the board that all snowmobile trails are cleared. Lavarnway and Rick Swift President of D.R.A.G. Snowmobile Club met to find an alternate route to Mt. Market.
The new sander that Lavarnway purchased is working well. The parking lot at Fish Hatchery is done for now. It added about 20 ft. more of parking (two trucks & trailers) for now.
OLD BUSINESS
Supervisor Dan Wilt reported that the Mean High-Water Mark has been established on 175 Golf Course Road. Supervisor Wilt and Superintendent Lavarnway will mark it so that all the personal property that has been left above the high-water mark needs to be removed.
NEW BUSINESS
Discussion on the L.E.D light conversion for the Town buildings will continue. Pricing still to be reviewed and to see how much money will be left over from 2019 budget lines.
Supervisor Wilt informed the board that Verizon is proposing small cell towers on Municipal property. There are 6 small cell towers that will improve phone and internet service, but the Towers must be placed on municipal property. Supervisor Wilt feels that it shouldn’t cost the Town any money.
