The Town of West Seneca has reached a tentative agreement with three residents to avert a lawsuit filed against the town after it started eminent domain procedures to gain access to their properties for sewer repairs.
Supervisor Gary Dickson said the tentative agreement was reached Monday night when the Town Board met in executive session.
It started as a disagreement over sewer easements near Cazenovia Creek in West Seneca, where three property owners took the town to State Supreme Court. Now, West Seneca has started to seize the land around the sewer line from them through eminent domain.
“It’s a tentative, verbal agreement between the attorneys, which all of their clients agreed to,” Dickson said in a brief telephone interview with The Buffalo News on Wednesday.
“So, right now, our attorney is going to type it up and put it on paper and then get everyone to agree to it,” he added.
Dickson said he is hopeful that a formal agreement will be ironed out next week.
