REFERRED TO: Legislative & Rules, Transportation Committees
VOTES:
To consider and act upon the following resolution requested by the First Selectman:
RESOLVED, that the First Selectman be and is hereby authorized to apply for and accept grants and to execute agreements regarding said grants, made by the State of Connecticut Department of Transportation, under the Connecticut Clean Fuel Program and such grants shall be receipted to the appropriate fund revenue account from which the expenditure was appropriated.
EXPLANATORY COMMENTS
The purpose of this resolution is to allow the Town to participate in Connecticut Department of Transportation Connecticut Clean Fuel Program (CCF). The CCF program is intended to improve air quality, reduce dependency on petroleum-based fuels by providing incentives for public entities to adopt clean fuel technologies. Typically, clean fuel vehicles tend to operate as hybrid electric, flex fuel, compressed natural gas, hydrogen or fuel cell vehicles. These technologies may provide cost savings in purchased fuel and vehicle maintenance, as well as reduce emissions and improve compliance with environmental quality standards.
Since the purchase cost of alternative fuel vehicles tends to be higher than the conventional gas powered vehicle, the CCF program intends to fund the incremental cost associated with the purchase of an alternative fuel vehicle. The CCF program seeks proposals from eligible applicants who want to add, operate and maintain Alternative Fuel Vehicles to their fleet operations.
The Town’s Fleet Department vehicle replacement program affords Greenwich the opportunity to participate in this program. Practically, the CCF program would reimburse the Town’s incremental cost of the purchase of hybrid vehicles. For a typical Ford Hybrid Escape, based on a seven-year replacement schedule, the gasoline savings would exceed $1,000 based on a $3 average per gallon cost for the period and in excess of $2,000 for gasoline prices of an average of $5 per gallon for the period. Emissions savings for the same projected use would be as follows: 22,516 lbs of carbon dioxide, 1,246 lbs of carbon monoxide, 15 lbs of nitrogen oxide and 22lbs of hydrocarbons.
The CCF program applies only to the purchase of new vehicles. Once the Town enters into an agreement, the Town would be responsible for targeting replacement vehicles that meet the guidelines. For the Town, the next potential future purchases that fit these guidelines would be with the vehicle replacement program for the Fiscal 08-09 budget. The Fleet Department would identify such vehicles and the agreement between the State DOT and Town would be finalized. The actual incremental cost of the Alternative Fuel Vehicle is not known until the State approved auto dealer contracts are set for the new model year. The exact reimbursement is calculated when the original equipment invoices are submitted to the DOT. Based on these financial uncertainties, the funds appropriated for vehicle
replacement would purchase the new vehicle and the grant reimbursement funds would be returned to the General Fund. To participate in this program the Town will need to have an agreement in place before the new Fiscal 08-09 vehicle purchases. The agreement cannot go forward without the approval of this resolution.

RESOLVED, that the sum of $87,000.00 be and the same is hereby appropriated to be added to Capital Account Number Z312-59600-28011, known as “Highway Maintenance”.
EXPLANATORY COMMENTS
This request is for an additional appropriation of $87,000 to pay costs for infrastructure repairs necessitated by the Nor’easter of April 2007.
On April 15-16, 2007 the Town experienced an extremely heavy rainstorm that resulted in extensive flooding throughout town. The flooding caused damage to private property as well as the Town’s infrastructure.
Several of the Town’s roadways were damaged and repairs to the road surface, shoulders, drainage, and/or curbing were required to insure the public’s safety. The roadways damaged and subsequently repaired were: 1) Parsonage Road, 2) Ridgeview Drive, 3) Grove Lane, and 4) Brookside Drive. The repairs to these roads were performed by outside contractors and the work was completed in August 2008.
The expenses for these repairs were unexpected and will adversely affect the work previously scheduled to be performed in the Spring of 2008.

RESOLVED, that the sum of $640,000.00 be and the same is hereby appropriated to be added to Capital Account Number Z312-59600-28104, known as “Nor’easter Damage Repairs”.
EXPLANATORY COMMENTS
This request is for an additional appropriation of $640,000 to pay costs for infrastructure repairs necessitated by the Nor’easter of April 2007.
On April 15-16, 2007 the Town experienced an extremely heavy rainstorm that resulted in extensive flooding throughout town. The flooding caused damage to private property as well as the Town’s infrastructure. Several bridges, a culvert, and one of the Town’s dams were overtopped and damaged during the storm (see attached chart).
Several Town bridges suffered scour damage during the storm leaving the abutment footings exposed. Following the storm, the State of Connecticut Department of Transportation inspected all Town-owned bridges over 20 feet in length, at which time they identified undermining at the Riversville Road Bridge over East Branch Byram River (05014) and Lake Avenue over Horseneck Brook (05604).
The Town hired BETA Group, Incorporated to perform Emergency Bridge Reviews for all Town-owned bridges less than 20 feet in length. The bridges that suffered scour damage were: Lake Avenue over Converse Brook Pond (056-027), Brookridge Drive over East Brothers Brook (056-044), Ridgeview Avenue over West Brothers Brook (056-048), and Railroad Avenue over Horseneck Brook (056-012).
The Bailiwick Road Bridge over the Byram River was overtopped during the storm causing extensive damage to the stone masonry parapets and the bridge deck. The road was closed until it was repaved and concrete barriers were temporarily installed in place of the masonry parapets. The Bible Street Culvert at Bible Street Park was severely damaged and the headwall and trash rack need to be replaced. The Cos Cob Pond Dam located within the boundaries of the Pomerance Property was overtopped during the storm. As a result of the overtopping, a large part of the spillway and the roadway going over the spillway were washed out requiring repairs. The total estimated construction cost for the above projects is $640,000.
Applications were made and accepted/approved for reimbursement by FEMA for the following projects: 1) Baliwick Road Bridge, 2) Lake Avenue Bridge over Converse Brook Pond, 3) Brookridge Drive Bridge over East Brothers Brook, 4) Cos Cob Dam, 5) Ridgeview Avenue Bridge over West Brothers Brook, 6) Bible Street Park headwall and culvert damage and 7) Orchard Street wall near the Cos Cob School. The total dollar amount for these applications is $285,661.00. The Town has received $153,472.20 for all the above projects, with the exception of the Baliwick Road Bridge repairs. The repairs on the Baliwick Road Bridge will be reimbursed by FEMA, incrementally as work is performed and paid for by the Town. Anticipated reimbursement for the Baliwick Road Bridge is approximately $65,000.00. FEMA
reimbursement is 75% of approved/estimated costs.
The projects that are not receiving federal funding, but identified by ConnDOT and Beta Group, Incorporated as requiring repairs are: 1) Lake Avenue Bridge over Horseneck Brook, 2) Railroad Avenue Bridge over Horseneck Brook, and 3) Riversville Road Bridge over East Branch Byram River.
The following chart shows the estimated costs to complete the repairs of the Town’s infrastructure.

RESOLVED, that the sum of $145,000.00 be and the same is hereby appropriated to be added to Capital Account Number K361-59650-28104, known as “J.J. Kennedy Force Main & Pump Station”.
EXPLANATORY COMMENTS
This request is for an additional appropriation of $145,000.00 to complete the construction of the Kennedy Garage Facility Sanitary Sewer Pump Station. A feasibility study of alternative sewer line locations was completed for the facility in 2004/2005. Design for the recommended alternative started in 2004/2005, and at 30% design, a preliminary budget for construction of $510,000 was recommended and funded in 05/06. At 70% design, additional project requirements, design modifications for two bridge crossings, and additional gravity sewer, resulted in increased construction costs, and an additional budget request of $234,000, (FY 06/07).
The Project was bid in 2006, and bids received and opened on September 21, 2006. Only one bid for $913,078.18 was received. This bid was $251,000 above the engineer’s cost opinion, and it was decided to re-bid the Project. As a result of this bid, additional permit requirements and inflation, a revised cost estimate was presented, and additional funding of $330,000 requested in FY 07/08 for construction. Project was rebid on December 14, 2006, and three (3) bids were received. Low bid was $875,855.00. Contract was awarded on June 19, 2007, and Contractor started work on August 8, 2007.
The Project is approximately 90% complete. Construction began in August of 2007, and is scheduled for completion in January of 2008. Numerous unforseens have been encountered, such as rock removal, additional paving work, railroad fees, etc. This request is for $145,000.00 to complete the installation of the Sanitary Sewer Pump Station and sewer lines at the Kennedy Garage Facility.
Our Consultant, Milone and MacBroom, Inc. of Cheshire, CT, has provided a projected Construction Cost Value of $995,000. This increase of $120,000 is due primarily to an increase in rock removal, utility conflicts, and other unforseens. In addition, due to an increase in the construction schedule, the projected construction administration cost to complete the Project is $30,000.
Based on our Consultant’s Project Cost Projection, the estimated additional funds required to complete this project is $200,000. This amount includes $120,000 for increased construction costs, $30,000 for additional engineering services, and $50,000 for a recommended contingency. Currently there is a $55,000 balance in the account; hence the net request of $145,000 (200,000 – 55,000).

RESOLVED, that the Town of Greenwich, Department of Parks & Recreation accepts a gift of three BigBelly solar trash containers valued at $13,500.00 to be installed at Greenwich Point. The gift is from the Friends of Greenwich Point.
EXPLANATORY COMMENTS
There are about 60 trash cans and 40 recycling bins on Greenwich Point. They are a mix of battered oil drums and purpose-built trash containers, many without tops. Much of the trash contains food, which attracts animals, particularly raccoons, rats and sea gulls. The animals remove trash from the containers and become de-sensitized to the presence of humans.
In 2007, the Friends of Greenwich Point began to research alternative trash container systems. It identified several and shared these with the Parks and Recreation Department. Parks & Rec. examined these and others, and it proposed to the Friends another system - the "BigBelly" - manufactured in Massachusetts by BigBelly Solar. The Friends believes that the BigBelly merits a trial and is willing to fund the acquisition of three to find out if they improve the situation as much as expected.
The BigBelly combines two functions in a single device. It is an enclosed, small animal-proof, ADA compliant trash can and a trash compactor. The compactor is powered by an electric motor, which is powered by a battery charged by an integral solar cell array.
The compactor increases the effective capacity of the container, reducing the frequency of emptying. According to the manufacturer it can replace as many as five conventional containers. The container is fully enclosed so that trash put in it, stays in. There is no spilled trash to be cleaned up, and it is inaccessible to animals. The trash door is similar to that on a mailbox - you open the chute, put the trash in and close the chute to dump the trash into the container. When the trash level reaches a trigger level, the compactor is activated to compress the trash.
Parks and Rec. and Friends of Greenwich Point staff visited Westchester County's Kensico Dam Plaza Park which installed five units last spring. They are pleased with the units. They have operated without problems and require less labor to service. Even during peak operating periods, the units have not been filled to capacity.
The Friends of Greenwich Point is the successor organization to the Greenwich Point Committee, which was established as a Selectmen's advisory committee in 1956. It was established as a separate §501(c)(3) organization and renamed in 1996. It has about 400 members who contribute to it and elect its officers and directors. The Friends mission is, "… to act as an advocate for Greenwich Point. We are committed to responsible stewardship and public education to preserve and enhance Greenwich Point's diverse natural environments and beauty; to safe and appropriate recreation; and to maintenance of its facilities. The Friends of Greenwich Point will also initiate and carry out projects related to its mission, complementing the efforts and resources of the town".

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY ORDAINED AND ENACTED BY THE REPRESENTATIVE TOWN MEETING THAT:
The ordinance entitled Article 6. Waiting Period For Demolition Permits is hereby amended as follows:
ARTICLE 6. WAITING PERIOD FOR DEMOLITION PERMITS
[Text to be deleted is noted in strikeout; text to be added is noted in redline]
Sec. 6-313. Waiting period imposed.
As authorized by § 29-406(b) of the Connecticut General Statutes, there is hereby imposed, a ninety-day, one hundred and eighty-day waiting period before granting any permit for the demolition of any building or structure five hundred (500) square feet or larger that is more than sixty (60) years old.
Sec. 6-316. Notices.
Within five (5) days of the filing of an application for a demolition permit for a building or structure five hundred (500) square feet or larger that is over sixty (60) years old, the applicant shall issue notices set forth in this section containing information provided in Section 6-315(a) through (c), along with a statement that an application for a demolition permit is pending, that information may be obtained from the Building Official and that any objection to the demolition must be filed in writing with the Building Official within forty five twenty (20) days of publication notice to prevent the shortening of the waiting period, established by town ordinance:
(a) Publication notice delivered prepaid to a newspaper having a general circulation in the town with direction that it be published within seven (7) days of receipt.
(b) Registered or certified mail notice to the owners of all property adjoining the property on which the building or structure to be demolished is located.
(c) Registered or certified mail notice to each Historic District Commission in the town, the Historical Society of the Town of Greenwich and the residential association or tax district in which the building or structure is located.
(d) Sign notice of a size no smaller than twenty-four by thirty-six (24 x 36) inches on the property on which the building or structure to be demolished is located, posted in a conspicuous place visible from a public or other accessing street. The sign shall contain the word "DEMOLITION" in capital letters no less than two (2) inches high. If there is more than one (1) building or structure, proposed for demolition, a sign shall be posted near each of them. Said sign shall remain on the property from the time of posting until the final demolition.
(e) First class mail notice to the Building Official verifying, under oath, that all the notices required in Subsections (a) through (d) above have been made with copies of the notices required in Subsections (a) through (c) attached.

Sec. 6-318. Waiver of waiting period.
If no written objection to the granting of the demolition permit is filed with the Building Official within (twenty (20) forty-five (45) days of the publication notice set forth in Section 6-316(a), the balance of the waiting period shall be waived.
EXPLANATORY COMMENTS
In May 2007, the State Legislature enacted Public Act 07-26, thereby amending the waiting period a municipality may adopt prior to granting a demolition permit. Public Act 07-26 increased the permissible waiting period from ninety (90) days to one hundred eighty (180) days. Accordingly, Connecticut General Statutes § 29-406(b), which forms the basis of Greenwich Municipal Code (“Code”) § 6-313, was amended.
The proposed amendment to Code § 6-313 which is before the RTM will simply mirror the amendment to General Statutes § 29-406(b) and will make the waiting period for the granting of a demolition permit consistent with the permissible timeframe under the amendment.
The amendments proposed to Code §§ 6-316 and 6-318 were requested by the Historic District Commission. Code § 6-316 currently states that any objection to a demolition must be filed in writing with the Building Official within twenty (20) days of notice of publication of the proposed demolition. The proposed amendment would increase this timeframe to forty five (45) days. Similarly, Code § 6-318 currently states that if a written objection to the granting of a demolition permit is not filed with the Building official within twenty (20) days of the notice of publication, the remainder of the waiting period under Code § 6-313 is waived. The proposed amendment would change the twenty (20) day period to forty-five (45) days, in
keeping with the amendment to Code § 6-316.
These proposed amendments would provide the Historic District Commission additional time in which to review and consider proposed demolitions of historic structures in Town.
