Resident says stormwater and sewage problems plague Peletier Shores development; board points to state permits
Summary
Resident Steven Brandt told the Peletier board that stormwater runoff and erosion at the Peletier Shores development have left yards flooded and, he said, a neighbor with raw sewage surfacing; board members advised that stormwater permits are a state matter and provided a county contact.
At the public-comment portion of the Peletier Town Board meeting, resident Steven Brandt described severe stormwater and erosion problems at the Peletier Shores development and asked the board for help holding those responsible accountable.
Brandt said the development’s erosion control is inadequate, that driveways and sidewalks are failing and that one neighbor has "raw sewage coming up out of his backyard." He said he has hundreds of photos documenting the problems and that he would bring neighbors to press for action.
Board members and staff responded that stormwater permits are issued at the state level. A staff member advised Brandt that state permitting — not the town — typically governs stormwater and that the developer was responsible for required postings and follow-up; the county contact Graham Brown was offered as someone Brandt could call for assistance. The transcript records the board acknowledging the seriousness of the complaints and offering to help connect Brandt with the appropriate county and state officials for follow-up.
