PUBLIC HEARING
July 14 , 1981
Proposal to dedicate and convey road from Clinton
E Cotterill to the Town of Dryden
Minutes of the public hearing held on the 14th of July - 7 : 30 PM
Deputy Supv Metzger read the notice that was published in the newspaper concerning
a proposal from Clinton E Cotterill to dedicate and convey to the Town of Dryden as a
public road .
QUESTIONS AND/OR COMMENTS
Atty John Stevens representing Clinton E Cotterill explained to the Town Board why
Orion Road should become a town road . Mr Cotterill will bring the road up to town
• specifications . He has spent close to $ 22 , 000 . 00 now building the road and placing
utilities under the road and he will spend approximately $ 4 , 000 . 00 more to bring the
road up to specifications pursuant to the letter from Hwy Supt: Hutphrey . Contrary to
what has been said in other meetings before the Town Planning Board and this Town
Board , it was represented that this might be seen as a private driveway of Mr Cotterill ' s .
Mr Cotterill ' s house is 750 feet from the end of this road . His personal driveway to
the road is 12 feet wide , whereas Orion Road is 60 feet wide , fully within the town
specifications . His house is not the only house on the road . There is a house that
is situated on a corner lot of the proposed Orion Rd and Dryden - Virgil Rd , which if the
road is accepted wil1 : _have frontage on Orion Rd . Mr Cotterill has also obtained a
permit from the Health Dept on the 18th of May to build another dwelling . This house
will have access to Orion Rd . The lot size is 10 acres plus . Another well has been
drilled on the property , so there is a potential for 3 houses on that road . Contrary
to anything that has been said in the recommendations to the Town Planning Board , it
is not unusual for the town to accept a road before any houses are built on it .
Crystal Drive is an example and Catherine Drive Extension and Bridal Lane is another
example , which Bridal Lane currently has no houses on it at the present time and is a
dedicated town road . Mr Cotterill has also stated that this will not be a sub- division .
Within the sub- division rules and regulations pursuant to Section 3 paragraph C
because any lots sold will be 10 or more acres . If a lot is sold with less than 10
acres sub- division approval will be required . Mr Cotterill has supplied the Town
Planning Board with everything that the board requested , environmental assessment
forms , the topographical maps and a copy of the letter from Hwy Supt Humphrey . As
far as the Planning Boards recommendation of their letter dated June 9th , Mr Cotterill
and Atty Stevens could find no reasoning for the recommendation . This road is
approximately7 -1976 feet long and 60 feet wide .
MriClaude Dann , from the Planning Board reported that other :-x1evelopers , especially
Bridal Lane , all went through the Planning Board with a lot of hard work on their
part to have it all laid out and surveyed for development . Mr Dann said that the
zoning ordinance tells you that a person can sell 2 lots in a certain period of time
without going through the recommendations of the rules . So that means if this is
divided in 10 acre building lots than this can be developed into smaller lots without
going through all of this . This puts an unfair advantage on all of the other -. developers
in the town . Mr Dann said that if you are going to have these zoning laws and rules
than everyone should abide by them .
Atty Stevens reported that Mr Cotterill has stated that these would be lots of 10
acres or more ; therefore they are not subject to sub-division rules and regulations .
Mr Cotterill said that it is common knowledge that there have been many lots that have
been sold in the town of 10 acres or more without sub-division approval and felt that
it was a fairly common practice in many areas and he is not the first person to develop
10 acres or more .
• Mr Dann said that he understands that there is cable buried for 12 telephone hook- ups .
If you are going to develop this in 10 acre lots , he didn ' t feel his intentions of
developing this in more than just 3 .
III Mr Cotterill said that when he went to the telephone company in 1976 before any houses
were built and before any electric and telephone was installed he told them that his
plan was for a maximum of 4 houses , 5 at the very most because that was all of the land
that he had that he would develop in this fashion . He was not interested in a row of
houses , because it was going to be a rural area and he was going to keep the agricultural
land in agriculture . The telephone company told him -: it was just as cheap for them to
bury an 18 wire cable as it was a 4 wire cable and since they were going to furnish
the cable it would be an 18 wire cable which was their decision . They didn ' t care if
he used over 2 , but that is what they wanted to bury , and there has been used 2 up
until now . The same is true with electric and gas , they require a certain cable whether
or not it is there is only one house of fifty .
Mr Dann said that in the Planning Board minutes back in 1976 , before he was on the board ,
Mr Cotterill came to the Planning Board to have this road approved and stated then that
he was going to sub- divide into 10 or 12 lots and thought that this was in the Planning
Board minutes at this time .
h
Mr Cotterill said that was an untrue statement . He said that he didnot wish to go
to sub- division . They asked to see what could happen if it was in 3 or 4 acre lots
if at sometime he should sell the agricultural land sometime in the future and someone
else so desired to sub- divide . They did sketch out , with his approval , 3 and .4. . acre
lots to see what the area might possible be - done if someone decided to sub-divide it .
Mr Cotterill 'said that never at anytime did he agree to sub-divide and never at any -
time he had an engineer design any sub- division beyond the lot that he has sold off
and the 10 acre lots that are shown on the current possibilities . Mr Cotterill said
that as far as he is concerned it will not be sub- divided as long as he owns it , but
he can ' t say if he is gone 10 years from now and someone else owns it . If they
have other plans from what he has , they will have to come to the Planning Board to
get the approval .

Supv Cotterill reported on Oriole Drive water and sewer district . The Village of
Cayuga Heights passed a resolution at their last meeting that- the Town of Dryden
requests a draft of a proposed contract for a water and sewer district for submission
to the village board . for approval . The board voted to request from the Town of
Dryden a form for a contract for sewer service to the Village of Cayuga Heights to
the proposed district and to inform the Supv that it is a settled policy in making -
these extensions never to go beyond the limits of the natural drainage of the area .
Upon this basis the Village of Cayuga Heights Sewer Treatment Plant was designed ,
and its capacity calculated .
Supv Cotterill felt that when they allowed this • district to go into Cayuga Heights they
designed their plant to go within only normal drainage without any pumping . Supv
Cotterill . said he would authorize the town attorney to contact the Village of Cayuga
Heights to get this finalized agreement .

DISCUSSION
Received letter from the SPCA with regard of termination of services as of June 16th .
Report received from the SPCA stating that they found 26 unlicensed dogs. and they
have been licensed ; found 51 unlicensed dogs that have been served a summons . At the

only answer complaints and not look for unlicensed dogs . There was some discussion
and Supv Cotterill said that if the town does not hire the SPCA back there will have
to , ba a decision made as to how much the town will pay them from Janyary 1st 1981 for
what services they . have rendered . Supv Cotterill told Atty George Patte that the town

feel is fair . Supv Cotterill was open for suggestions for a dog control. officer .

I x Town Clerk
SPECIAL MEETING
August 3 , 1981
Present : Supv Cotterill , Clm Tarr , Clm Webb and Atty Perkins .
Minutes of the special meeting held on August 3 , at 5 : 00 PM
Atty Perkins reported on Werninckville and George Junior Republic . The cost figures
for the total maximum amount proposed to be expended on both of these districts are
improper . The annual cost per user doesn ' t change , but the figure that was in the
resolution ; copies of which went to Vrooman Engineers were to low . They only take
into consideration part of the cost of either constructing the improvement or the
sewer extensions . We have new orders for the board members to adopt if it so wishes
ordering another public hearing . The dollars and cents are not going to change .
Atty Perkins said that at the end of the legal notice we should publish , that this
is to correct a technical error in the prior resolutions . The cost per user per
year does not effect it because those figures were correct . The only way ,that we
can correct this resolution is to do it all over again , which has been confirmed by
our bond council in New York . Vrooman is of the opinion that it is a typographical
error . Atty Perkins said that it was not a typographical error . It cannot be
corrected by erasingiit and putting it in right , because a bond council will not
certify it . This is important that it is not going to effect anything what anybody
is going to pay . This should be stressed if anyone asks . It is just technical
corrections to cover the maximum amount proposed to be expended . All of the annual
debt service figures are correct based upon the new corrected amounts . The procedure
is that we adopt an order setting a public hearing . If we adopt the order today we
• could schedule a public hearing on Monday Aug 17th and it can be scheduled for any .: :
time of the day that you want . If you want to schedule it for 5 : 00 PM you can keep
it open for a few minutes , close the hearing , adopt the resolution and you can start
