Attorney Jerry Goldman
2 State Street
14th Floor
Rochester, NY 14614

 

Dear Mr. Goldman,

I am in receipt of correspondence from both MRB Group and the Town of Victor Director of Development concerning the proposed Drumlins apartments project.  There have also been a number of articles in local print media concerning this project.

References in each of the above have been made to an "agreement", allegedly made some 14 years ago.  I was a Village Trustee at the time and recall there were discussions, but do not recall the execution of such an "agreement".  In addition, neither our Village Attorney nor Village Clerk has a copy of such an "agreement".  If one does exist I would appreciate receiving a copy of same.

In any event, at the present time the Village of Victor is unable to commit to accepting wastewater from such a project.  We are presently operating under a Consent Order with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, and attempting to make improvements to our wastewater treatment processes such that we will be able to consistently operate within our normal permit limits.  Also at the present time, sanitary sewer infrastructure problems, namely infiltration, routinely cause an hydraulic overload on our wastewater treatment plant whenever a significant rain event occurs.  Until that problem is resolved we would also be unable to accept additional flows of the magnitude such a project would generate.

Please contact this office should you have additional questions or concerns.

Very truly yours,

 

Thomas W. Walker

Mayor
