May Be Headed for Delay ByKAYCAHILL SIMSBURY Local police officers plan to attend the Board of Selectmen's meeting at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in Eno Memorial Hall to present the union's case on contract negotiations. The union has launched a local campaign to publicize the two-year-long contract negotiations to gain public support.
Police Union President Gary Bergeron has written repeatedly to the selectmen about what he and other union members see hs deteriorating conditions in the Police Department. Those complaints include an alleged lack of training Planning Board Will Consider 2 Subdivisions simsbury SIMSBURY The Planning Commission will consider two applications for three-lot subdivisions at 8 Bm. today in Eno Memorial all. The first application was submitted by Robert Lamson, who seeks approval to develop property owned by Eileen K. Russo on West-cdtt and Wolcott roads.
Claire R. DelGrecco, Antonio A. Castelhono and Francisco R. Gomes submitted an application for approval to develop a subdivU sion on Climax Road, Both subdivisions are in R-40 zones. Following the public hearing, the commission will hold its regular meeting, during which it will consider a recommendation to the Board of Selectmen from Director of Public Works Frank on the proposed Drake Hill bridge and West Street i.
relocation project. Also on the agenda is a discussion of the town plan of development and a request from Development Resources concerning the names of streets in the Pine Hill development. a contract for a year and without a pay raise for two years. Bergeron said his repeated attempts td involve, the selectmen, who serve as the Board' of Police Commissioners, in the negotiation process, has netted little response. However, town negotiator Emanuel Psarakis said he believed negotiations were nearing an end after the last session in June.
i But after that meeting the union launched a plea for public support in its attempts to change conditions at the department. While Police Chief Thomas J. Hankard has said he understands the men's frustration over a lack of a contract, he said he believes their descriptions of the con necessary easement; Hunt said. Obtaining the grant and the waivers might be a time-consuming process, Hunt said. "But the time to resolve these problems is prior to construction," Hunt wrote.
Avon Water Pollution Control Authority Chairman M. Otto Burgett declined comment on the opinion, saying he wanted to study it. Plans for the project came to an unexpected halt several months ago when Secret Lake residents, concerned about the fill's environmental impact on the lake, filed objections to the with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Without corps' approval the lake portion of the project can't be built.
Last week a final public hearing on the project was held by the authority. 1 The question of who actually would own the fill and assume liability for it was then unknown. Hunt said Friday the Simsbury Bank Trust Co. would have the same rights and liabilities for the fill as any other property owner.

Commissioners also are scheduled to discuss building a residential street across wetlands and Hawlev Brook, to the west of Huckleberry Hill The road, proposed by Roger Whitney, would be build about 200 feet south of Chevas Road. Also on the agenda is a request by I.R. Stich Associates Inc. to discharge storm water, relocate a stream and build a sanitary sewer to permit the use of two residential lots at 508 Lovely St. Also scheduled is a request from a Massachusetts developer to build a commercial, two-story building and parking lot next to Old Avon Village on Rt.
44. As proposed by the Pearson-Avon Development Co. the building and lot would be built on a 14-acre parcel owned by Myrtle E. Rising. Most of that land is on wetlands.
The wetlands commission already has a set of July 30 public hearing on the proposal. The Planning and Zoning Commission has scheduled an 8 p.m. public hearing Tuesday on the plans. Avon AVON Plans for the town's nearly $1 million sewer project in Secret Lake appear to be headed for another delay, according to an opinion issued by Town Attorney Robert C. Hunt Jr.
Before installing an 800-foot long fill in Secret Lake as part of the project there, Avon might have to obtain waivers from abutting property owners, according to Hunt's opinion. In the opinion, Hunt also suggests that the town obtain an easement grant from the Simsbury Bank Trust Co. According to land records, the Simsbury bank appears to be the owner of the lake bottom on which the fill would be built. The bank became owner of the lake bottom by virtue of a 1973 trust agreement with the original property owner James B. Lowell, Hunt contends.
But the terms of the trust agreement are unknown, and the Simsbury bank might not "be able to grant the town the office space and industrial operations. Leonard G. Sucsy, Culbro resident, said that the uildings constructed in Windsor will be similar to the light-industrial, office buildings being built in East Granby. Residents at the Windsor zoning commission 1 hearing on the zone change criticized the design of the Culbro buildings.
