TOWNNOTES: PAUL GAUVIN PHOTO FREEZE FRAME - Heavy equipment operators worked the clear but frigid weather on Monday, Martin Luther King Day, clearing the lot at Sea and South streets, Hyannis, where a gasoline station is being transformed into a women's fashion store. Next door to that lot, Dunkin Donuts was closed for remodeling and renovations. Sewer workshop Jan. 26 A town council workshop on wastewater disposal and sewer expansion plan is scheduled for Thursday. The workshop is expected to raise all of the issues and challenges facing the town's sewer expansiongoals,which includes sewering around Wequaquet Lake and por- tions of South Hyannis. The town is proceeding with its application to uti- lize the 26-acre McManus property on Route 132 as a wastewater disposal site for upwards of 1.6 million gallons a day. The final state sign-off for that application was expected this week, put- ting the project in line to be included with the work in the upcoming widening and reconstruction of Route 132, scheduled to beginasearlyas this spring. A majority of the McManus property was acquired with land bank funds, though a portion was paid for with sewer reserve funds. The dis- charge project would utilize the entire 26-acre site, which raised questions about the appropriateness of the use. What's clear is that before the town can expand sewer into other areas of town, a new discharge area willneed to be found. The Jan.26 meetingbegins at 7 p.m. in the town council chambers of town hall. New assessor named Barnstable's new man on property valueswillbe Jeffrey Rudziak,currently the asses- sor for the Town of Oxford.
