Plans for Pat Preston’s car park on Kinsman Road have not been presented to Burton Village Zoning Inspector Rick Gruber, but Preston hopes to start the project this year.
Plans for Pat Preston’s car park on Kinsman Road have not been presented to Burton Village Zoning Inspector Rick Gruber, but Preston hopes to start the project this year.
During a meeting of the village’s public affairs department on Sept. 8, village engineer Chip Hess said that once he received Preston’s deposits he would review plans for the 5 acres that Preston recently bought and vacated next to the Kia dealership .
Hess said he understands Preston will install an 8-inch aqueduct along the front of the property to the property of neighbor Dan Demko, who has announced that he will develop more than 30 acres into an independent senior housing community of about 120 homes .
In a phone interview on Sept. 9, Preston said he plans to build a car wash and detailed garage on the property he bought from Demko. He also owns a 4 acre facade on Rapids Road south of the Kia dealership that connects to the 5 acres west of the property.
Board members agreed that it would be good if Preston included a better place in his plans for unloading vehicles from car transporters than at the intersection of Kinsman and Rapids Streets.
In other businesses, the board voted to spend $ 14,577 on a sewer camera, pipe locator, and transmitter. Jake Neill, the utility supervisor, said the pipe locator can also be used to locate water pipes.
The equipment can be used to find breaks in the village’s obsolete water and sewer pipes, said board member Curt Johnson.
The board also voted to spend $ 60,000 on cleaning the lagoon at the treatment plant and disposing of the sludge.
Neill told Board Village staff that they had been working to protect the newly completed sewage treatment plant south of the village from flooding when the area received 5 inches of rain on September 6.
The 24-inch storm sewer under Memorial Drive couldn’t handle the sudden rain because the facility is in a basin, he said.
The board also discussed that owners must pass POS inspections before they can sell their residential properties.
The proposed change to village regulations would require that water and sewer lines to the property for sale be inspected by an independent contractor prior to sale.
Lawyer Bridey Matheny attended the September 8th meeting to discuss the structure of the amendment before drafting it.
Johnson said the inspection should focus on roots in the sewer and cracks and breaks in the plumbing.
“This is not something you will fix with a toothbrush,” he said, adding that the water and sewer lines should be updated before a sale can resume.
