Moira Fortin, 1769 Woodview Avenue, stated that with
respect to the draft plan of subdivision submitted by
Fairport Developments Inc., she attended a meeting two
years ago to consider this draft plan but it was
deferred. She was notified only one wee\( prior to the
Executive Committee Meeti ng of November 26, 1990 that
the matter was being reconsidered. She indicated that
30 of 36 households in the area were not notified that
a traffic study had been undertaken. There is nothing
in the traffic study to back up the that Pinegrove
Avenue is unsafe and in the past 30 years there has
been only one accident at the railway tracks, The new
road pattern will create a dangerous and annoying
situation in front of her house. This draft plan
should not be approved until the Town has a more
advanced infrastructure and the schools can
accommodate the increased population.
See Item #1 of the Executive Committee Report
Mrs. Cleland, 1769 Woodview Avenue, stated that the
