I thought a lottery was supposed to take place if there were not enough millings to go around. From the email circular (see below) " If we do not
have enough material to fulfill qualified response we will hold a lottery." When did this lottery take place? To me it looks like none did and the
businesses were prioritized by distance from the job site. (see chart below)
There seems to be something inherently unfair in the distribution of these
millings. First of all one business owner gets 67 truckloads. The Pickle Barrel,
Jax and Foundry are all Chris Carr’s businesses. You would think a more
equitable distribution would have been adopted.
Two, not a
single resident qualified.
Three, it was stated in the milling program
memorandum recipients were prioritized in part, “in order to
limit trucking” . I requested 3 truckloads and am closer than all
recipients except for Peppino’s and The Woods to the actual source of the
millings, thus there is an increased expense to move those millings to favored
recipients. I wonder how many other residents and or businesses were denied and
were closer than the recipients.
I realize that the program stated only Killington Road businesses and
residents, but that was an arbitrary decision by the town manager to begin with.
It’s not only the Killington Road property owners that are paying for this road, all taxpayers are
- this program should include all residents if not all taxpayers.
I would hope this program is modified include all
taxpayers because right now it is brazenly favoring businesses.

Subj: Awards for Millings
Program
You are receiving
this email because you requested to participate in the millings program.
We received more
requests than we could honor this year. We received qualifying requests
(requests from properties in or near the repaving area with driveways and
parking lots that connect to Killington Road) for 173 truckloads. We expect to
have a minimum of 110 truckloads available for distribution.
Therefore we will
distribute millings in the following order of priority (see chart below)
based on availability. Please note the categories: Guaranteed and
Possible.
Properties that
submitted requests this year and met the criteria but do not receive millings in
2014 will be prioritized first for millings distribution during the next phase
of repaving Killington Road (W. Hill to Dean Hill), which is scheduled for ’15
or ’16 (subject to budget).
Please confirm
your participation this year by emailing me. Chet Hagenbarth will coordinate the
delivery. His contact info is 802-422-9821 or email him at
chet@killingtontown.com.

Millings Program for Killington Road
As part of
repaving the first section of Killington Road from Route 4 to West Hill this
August, the Town expects to have excess asphalt millings or grindings.
The Town
would like to make any excess millings available to business and residents with
driveway access to Killington Rd. Priority will be given to properties in this
area in order to limit trucking and improve the Killington Road corridor
(driveways and parking lots that connect to Killington Road).
The
purpose of this email is to inform residents about the program and instruct them
on how they can participate. Instructions for participation are:
If you have interest in receiving millings,
please email the answers to the following questions to sethwebb@killingtontown.com before July 7th.
1.
What is the address of the property (and name of business, if applicable) you
would like to request millings for?
2.
What is the project you want to apply the millings to (driveway or parking lot
or both)?
3.
How many tons or truckloads of millings would you need? (Quantities are
calculated using parking area dimensions and thickness. For example, 20 tons,
approx 1 truckload, spread at 3" deep and rolled, will cover approximately
1,000 square feet)
4.
Do you agree to apply the material within a two week period of delivery? (This
will require professional equipment to spread and roll the millings into place.
Notes:
-
Program participants need to arrange to have the millings spread and rolled.
The Town will not provide this service. Local paving and excavator contractors
can provide interested participants quotes on costs for driveway or parking
lot.
-
Millings will harden and their effectiveness decreases rapidly after that two
weeks. The anticipated delivery is mid-August, 2014. Unused material will be
removed at owner's expense.
We will
fulfill requests based on (1) the location criteria listed above, (2) the
responses to this survey and (3) the availability of material. If we do not
have enough material to fulfill qualified response we will hold a lottery to
make final selections. We plan to announce the list participants the week of
July 21st. Note: completing this survey does not guarantee participation in
the program.
If you
have questions about the program, please call Chet Hagenbarth at 802-422-3241 or
email him at chet@killingtontown.com.
Finally,
if this program is successful, we plan to continue distributing excess millings
in future years as we re-pave Killington Road.
Thank
you,
Seth
Webb

Manager
