CITIZEN PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR
Resident from Bone Plain Rd area wanted to know the status of their request for cable
extension on Bone Plain Rd .
Supv Cotterill - couldn ' t answer but wanted to know if Atty Perkins had received an
answer from the state yet ?
Atty Perkins - he has not received word yet from the state .
Supv 'Cotterill - to fill you in we are trying to get a ruling from the state as to
whether the agreement we had with Ceracche is binding , also we are trying to negotiate
other data and it has been a slow process . We are in hopes in frying to complete this
so„ that we can have a set guideline for line extension and what the costs will be .
Kevin Grossman representative from American Television was present .
Supv Cotterill - wanted to knowtthhe status of the requests that have been made for line
extensions to be surveyed , andisome requests have been made over a year ago .
Mr Grossman - the only thing that I can present to you tonight is a brief report on
Bone Plain Rd , North Rd and Simms Hill Rd . They drove out the mileage on Bone Plain
Rd and counted the number of households . It is about 3 . 4 miles and 55 households .
Assuming that every single household took cable the density would be 16 . 2 households
per mile . In figuring their aid and construction costs , assuming that everyone took
cable each person would have to contribute andadditional $ 295 . 00 . The average density
in and around • the area is lower than 100 per cent and would anticipate that figure
would be significantly higher . This is based on our threshold figure which is 35
homes per mile . ”
Atty Perkins - wanted to know how this compared with the terms of the franchise contract
in the Town of Dryden ?
•
-Mr Grossman - it is consistant . .
Atty Perkins - in other words you are telling me that the franchise with Ceracche
says that in 35 homes per mile you will construct it at your expense .
Mr Grossman - right , but I don ' t think that it says that in the franchise . This , as
he understands it - has been the point of contention for quite a long period of time .
Supv Cotterill - we had and agreement with Ceracche before you people bought them
out and it wasn ' t 35 homes per mile . That is why we are asking you if you are living
up to Ceracche franchise agreement .
• . r Grossman - his recollection is he doesn ' t remember seeing that figure in the
franchise and this was not brought tb his attention .
Supv Cotterill - we had an agreement and this has been going on for years . It first
started on Snyder Hill Rd and that end of town . It has gradually migrated to this
end of the town . Ceracche or whoever has taken over the company did have an agreement
and 35 homes was not in that agreement .
Mr Grossman - correct me if I am wrong , the impression that he has is that Ceracche
may have given you some kind of oral commitment of 20 houses per mile . From what they
could find in the file and in the franchise , they cannot find that figure , so it is
difficult for them to make a commitment that Mr Ceracche may have made or may have
said to you . As he understands it this is where they have been for the past year .
Supv Cotterill - felt that the representative from American Television and the Town
of Dryden committee has got to come to some kind of understanding because our citizens
are up in arms that no one can get an answer , and they have a right to one .
Mr Grossman - wanted to apologize for the period of time that has taken place since they
have come to a grinding halt . Brad Dusto was transfered very suddenly and we have been
involved in a lot of municipalities and it is difficult for them to pick up where
they have left off . We are anxious to settle this and are hOping that the state would
finally come to a decision over the proposed rule making policy in January . The
New York State Cable Commission submitted a very long brief on the matter and they
are expecting a decision sometime in March and hopefully this will settle the issue .
Supv Cotterill - lwould like to have their company and our committee get together and
get the issue setiptled very rapidly for the simple reason it has gone on a year to long
already . We have so many citizens that are begging for service and we have an
obligation to offer them service on some concrete basis .
Mr Grossman - itlisn ' t that we don ' t want to provide service , there is a certain
amount of homes per mile that they hope to establish as subscribers that will end
up paying for their investment for constructing the cable . They don ' t have the
minimum number of people as paying customers . The investment for them just does
- not make any senie .
Atty Perkins - what should be pointed out here is at least part of the Town . of
Dryden the density requirement of homes is 20 per mile and don ' t deny it to him
because you havela copy of the resolution that became part of the franchise which
was personally handed by me to Ned Wait in his office . The second fact is that
one of the complaints is that we can ' t get an answer . We can ' t get a measurement
on North. Rd which we were promised 6 months ago . It was promised in Nov . and Dec .
Supv Cotterill - lit was promised when they did Virgil Rd , they would do North Rd
within the next 30 days and have an answer back here as to what they had found and
what the possibility would be for cable . Cable has been in service on Virgil Rd
for a full year nota> and they waited 8 months to get it . Arithmetic tells him that
it has been 20 months since your representative promised this board standing in this
room that in 30 days we would have an answer on North Rd , as to what was there , what
the density would be and what those people would have to do to get cable . In those
20 months you just said you had a report and this is the first that he has seen or heard
of one . This isiwhy we are very unhappy .
Mr Grossman- agreed that an unreasonable amount of time has gone by .
Supv Cotterill - ' if you were out here and had those citizens calling and saying to you
weekly and monthly have you heard any more on cable extension , are they doing anything .
What would you like me to give those people for an answer :; what should I tell them?
1
Atty Perkins - does your study indicate how many homes there are in each mile starting
at Scofield Rd end and North Caswell.. Rd end ? Is it more dense on one end thard the
other end where iyou have existing facilities ?
Mr Grossman - he was not familiar enough with the road to be able to answer that
question .
Atty Perkins - so that is your report than that you have 3 . 4 miles and 55 houses ?
Supv Cotterill wanted to know if he had a report on North Rd as long as he was here ?
Mr Grossman - from what they surveyed on North Rd over a 1 . 6 mile stretch .
Atty Perkins - where does that begin ?
Supv Cotterill did you start with the Village line or where did you start ? .
Mr Grossman - they started with right at the main road where their cable is .
Supv Cotterill did you count every resident from that point on including the trailer
park ? Mott Rd trailer park is quite a little north of the state road and wanted to
know if they were counted in ?
Mr Grossman - Ildon ' t believe so .
Supv Cotterill 7 wanted to know why they wouldn ' t be counted in as part of_ . the density ?
If you start on McLean Rd where it leaves Rt 13 , why wouldn ' t you count every resident
from that pointlon ?
Mr Grossman - you are talking about North Rd ?
Supv Cotterill 7 yes , from the point that it leaves Rt 13 , and this is where your
last amplifier is . He wanted to know if every unit from that point on was counted
including all of the trailers and how many units he had come up with ?
Mr Grossman - yes there were only 18 .
Supv Cotterill Heithe1I can ' t count or you can ' t count .
Mr Grossman - I am asking you to bare with me because he is only giving an overview .
Supv Cotterill 1- I know what is happening , you have already served those that are very
dense and now you are counting those out in the area beyond , but you are starting back
at Rt 13 . WE have been over this before with the former representative and he agreed
right here that he would start with the Village line or at least at Rt 13 and count
everything . I know the trailer park has at least more than 18 units alone and this is
a quarter of almile of Rt 13 and this is part of the service area that we are talking about/
Mr Grossman - it not right on North Rd though .
I ii-s
Supv Cotterill - no but itOart of the service area . What he is saying , that in the
first mile there are about 30 or 40 units including the trailer park . I would like to
; .
see the cable company do an honest job of surveying all of the areas that have been
requested and get it done properly and have it here in less than 30 days . The other
is that you sit down with our committee and get this ironed out where our residents
can have some answers . You have a franchise in the full Town of Dryden and you owe
it to the citizens . We can ' t justifq people coming month after month and not being
able to get some answers .
Mr Grossman - he is here and he is the one responsible . We are not trying to smooth
over any surveys or give you incorrect assumptions . Our point of view stems from
measuring from existing cable along proposed extensions . Why don ' t you let me know
right now those areas that you are aware of that you would like specific numbers back
on and I will take care of it personally .
Supv Cotterill - there is Bone Plain Rd which you are aware of ; North Rd ; Irish
Settlement Rd ; Sheldon Rd ; Turkey Hill Rd , and you can contact Alton Reed who lives
• on Mt Pleasant Rd . He can give you more specifics and recommends that this is what
he should do in these cases . The one on North Rd is Bill Sutton to contact .
Mr Grossman - after we do these surveys would you like us to come back with some dollars ?
Supv Cotterill - I would like you to get together with our committee and get , some
kind of an agreement as to where we stand .
Mr Grossman - felt that the point is getting out and doing the surveys : He felt that
all of the surveys that they do will come back with the similar figures . From their
- point of view they will require a signifigant aid in construction dollars from those
people who live there . This goes back to the proposed line extension agreement , and
this is the hangup .
Atty Perkins - in some areas this isn ' t a hangup because there were some areas that
were served by Sammons which you bought out and it is 20 homes per mile .
Supv Cotterill felt that the people are willing to pay what is fair , but it has been
one- sided up to this point and we are certainly willing to give something that is
reasonable . He wished that he could say that we have something from our tv companies
that they were willing to give our people service in what would be halfway reasonable .
• Mr Grossman - asked Atty Perkins if the amendment to the policy that he personally
handed to his colleague was dated 1975 , if it was than he was aware of it . It is a
population density policy with regards to cable television and it is something that
the town passed back in 1975 .
Atty Perkins - at your specific request .
Supv Cotterill - and it said 20 houses per mile .
Mr Grossman - what was the request ?
Atty Perkins - of Ceracche for that policy .
Mr Grossman - I can ' t speak for Mr Ceracche , what I can speak for is that the state
has never recognized that policy .
Supv Cotterill - what has the state got to do with an agreement between the town and
Ceracche ?
Mr Grossman - because we are both governed under the rules of New York State Cable
Television Commission .
Atty Perkins - you are saying that it didn ' t become part of the franchise ?
Mr Grossman - yes , it didn ' t become part of the franchise . the state does not recognize
it , therefore it is difficult for us to recognize it .
Atty Perkins - then Ceracche has a real problem in the Town of Dryden if that is the
• kind of good faith that he uses , because it was up to Ceracche to make that a part .
Mr Grossman - I am sure this isn ' t the first time the issue has been covered and he
is just reiterating ACC position .
Supv Cotterill - I don ' t understand your statement that there is no area that is
entitled and he didn ' t recall the density , but was sure that it was near the 20
unit per mile mark and your company installed this line 1 year ago at no charge to
anyone on Virgil Rd . So what would be the difference if it is North Rd or some other
road with the similar density . Your company followed that policy less than a year ago .
Mr Grossman - he wasn ' t sure of that specific build and he didn ' t know what the terms
were for building it .
Supv Cotterill - they said they would do Virgil Rd and at the same time work on the
others . It appears to him that they did follow our agreement .
- Mr Grossman - wanted to know if that matter was discussed during their last get
together which took 6 months in the works between the committee and his colleague .
Atty Perkins - no it was not discussed .
. . :
Mr Grossman - well obviously we need to sit down and discuss it .
Clm Webb - the density in this town where we do not have cable tv we would be hard
put to find 35 homes per mile for the density requirement .
Supv Cotterill - lour zoning ordinance would not even allow a new area to be that
dense in most places with the current rule if it was sub- division style on - rural
property . We have served many in the last 5 to 10 years that don !, t even met _
that requirement density and he knows that for a ' fact because he has built some .
Mr Grossman - this is a difference that we have had for a long time and it should
be discussed . 1 . . .
Mere was . some discussion and Atty Perkins said that he would get in touch with the
cable commissionito see if he can get an answer to his last inquiry and he will
then get in touch with their company to schedule a meeting .
COUNTY . BRIEFING

ZONING OFFICER
2 building permits issued during the month of December - 1 woodshed and 1 horsebarn .
Also the special permits that the Town Board passed issued to Carl Stelick and Bernard
Hicks . With regard to the 3 car garage on Dryden Rd , Mr Hoyt has contacted him and he
had acknowledged his letter . My Hoyt was going to get a contractor to look at it to
• see whether it would be worth fixing up or if he should tear it down , but would get
back to him. ZO Stewart called him and was told that during the holidays he hadn ' t
found a contractor to look at the building yet but would definitely do something .
Supv Cotterill - suggested that ZO Stewart give him 60 days to do one thing or the
other and at the end of 60 days we should at least begin to see in some direction
that he is going .
ZO Stewart also reported that ZBOA held 3 hearings 1 - was to rearrange lot lines on
an old sub- division Lon Snyder Hill Rd and this variance was granted ; 2 - a variance
was also granted to Marchell Monuments to make redwood signs on Turkey Hill Rd where
Colorful Carpets used to be ; 3- they denied a variance to Philip Ensmenger at the
corner of Ringwood Rd and Midline Rd . He had built a shed last summer to close to the
road . He built the shed before he applied for a variance or a building permit .
ZO Stewart gave the board members a copy of his 1981 zoning report .
