Residents press Seneca Falls board to settle cemetery boundary and remove unsafe waterfront structures
Summary
Residents reported unpaid 1991 cemetery lease items, falling trees at Bridgeport Cemetery, and unauthorized structures on town waterfront property; the town attorney said a proposed agreement and map were under review and the board will have the attorney follow up.
A resident raised a longstanding dispute about a strip of land next to a town cemetery and asked whether an agreement with a Catholic party was on record; the town attorney said a proposed agreement and a map had been received and were under review. Residents said the back of Bridgeport Cemetery has many old, dead trees that have already fallen and that nearby, dilapidated houses and trailers have been placed on town waterfront land without authorization.
One resident referenced a 1991 lease and unpaid fees and said the town could be held liable if dead trees fell and damaged adjacent structures. The board agreed to have the town attorney review the proposed map and lease documentation and to bring recommended action back to the board for a future meeting.
