He contended that a crown at the top of the rise dues not allow water to drain properly down Hillcrest and causes the creation of a pond about 1 foot deep on Winship Road, He requested that the situation he corrected by removal of the crown to allow proper drainage. He felt it was the Town's responsibility even though Winship Road is a private way, based on his belief that the Town had paved the 30 feet of Winship Road and created the problem. The Town Engineer had reported that no record of Town construction of Winship Road can be found, and the Director of Public Works questioned whether the Town has responsibility in the matter. There was discussion of remedying the situation by filling, at a cost of $700 +. It was agreed to delay decision on Mr. Nicoloro's request until determination on who paved Winship Road can be made and where responsibility ago lies for resolving the problem. Mr. Hutchinson will report back on the matter.
