The budget requests have been cut by about $ 900 ,000 and they can still see an increase in the county tax rate of about 12 percent . He was sure that about two- thirds of the cuts will be restored at the public hearing . They applied the state equalization rate to the assessed value for the first time this year since revaluation . . There was some discussion and Co Rep Watros couldn ' t express himself enough to have people attend the public hearing so that the increase would be held at the 12 percent level . S---. CITIZEN PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR Mr Hunt from Hunt Engineers and Tim Balwdin a project engineer were present . Mr Hunt reported that he has submitted a number of letters to regulatory agencies as required by the schedule of DOT and DEC . They have started to do surveying on Cortland Rd and North Rd . At the present time it is being ploted and within a week they will have maps so that they can start their preliminary design . He would like to meet with the board members to cover the area and have a work session later on that night . There will be some options open that will affect the cost . They have have also worked on the utility information . There will be some preliminary work coming back on that . Supv Cotterill would like information on where the lines are located for Dryden High School and TC 3 for future hook- up of other properties . COUNCILMAN PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR Clm Evans - the Planning Board has a couple of items that they would like the Town Board • to discuss and consider . 1 - the non- attendance of board members . It has been very difficult to get a quorum for a meeting . One resignation which has been lost , the term is up at the end of this year , and the other board member he has never met and he has only missed one or two meetings himself . The board cannot function without a quorum and they felt that they need a policy of some kind that after a member of the board did not attend a certain number of consecutive meetings he was considered no longer a member of the board . They should at least be contacted and asked to appear so that the board can do some work . There was some discussion . Atty Perkins - the Planning Board has that authority to set policies regarding attendance . They have the authority to set the rules and regulations , but the power of removal would come from the Town Board . Barbara' Caldwell - the Planning Board should then set up some guidelines and come to the Town Board stating that they are what they feel is appropriate . They really have some faithful members that want to put some effort into their work and it is very frustrating . Supv Cotterill - have you received any input that someone would be interested to serve on the board ? Barbara Caldwell - on the one resignation that is in the mail they have suggested a replacement . . Supv Cotterill - the Planning Board should discuss this at your next meeting and then come to the board with the recommendations . Atty Perkins - as far as removal it would have to be done by the Town Board . The Planning Board has the power to adopt reasonable rules . If a Planning Board member has not lived up to those rules attendance wise , you should then approach the Town Board asking to remove that person . Clm Evans - also the Planning Board would like some direction from the Town Board in the area of condominiums , since this is not covered in our zoning ordinance . The Planning Board feels that this is a need , but would like some direction as to whether or not they are to present the board with a plan ; whether or not the Planning Board is to have an active part in the mechanism for themselves or whether this board wants the powers that currently resides with it . There is no regulation now , it should either remain with this board or delegate it to the Planning Board . They are concerned about this and would like some direction . Suvp Cotterill - thought that there were other areas in the zoning ordinance that should be analyzed to see if they should be amended or changed . He felt that the Towne Board should grant the Planning Board the authority to analyze the zoning ordinance to see if it needs to be updated in any area and propose any new idea . Then , come to the Town Board with their recommendations . • Barbara Caldwell - one of the mechanisms for condominums and cooperateive approval in an ordinance is site development approval . This can either be done by the Town Board or the Town Board can delegate parts of that under specific perimeters to the Planning Board subject to sub- division approval . The board may want to look into this more . If the Planning Board is going to look into something and go through a lot of time , writting , and so forth they should have some idea as to what the Town Board would like prepared . There was some discussion . . Clm Metzger - wanted to know if they had any condominium.., applications ? • Barbara Caldwell - - no applications at this time but , right now we don ' t have the mechanism . Clm Evans - felt the town should have some plans before somebody does come forth with a proposal . He would like to have an item put on next months agenda for further discussion with regard to condominiums . Supv Cotterill . - thought the Planning Board could come to the Dec 14th board meeting with an outline as to what they think would be workable and this Town Board could then analyze it . Clm Webb - wanted to know what was going on where Bernard Cornelius has his business in Etna ? Barbara Caldwell - he is coming before the Planning Board on Nov 18th with regard to a sub- division proposal . There was some discussion with regard to him selling top soil and he has been to the ZBOA for a variance to sell top soil and store machinery outside . The decision has not been written up yet . ATTORNEY Atty Perkins - reported on a situation on Snyder Hill Court . There was a sub- division developed by Arthur Prince consisting of 6 lots on Snyder Hill Court . This goes back to 1950 before zoning . The sub- division map was prepared and filed in the County Clerk ' s Office indicating what would be dedicated as a road . The notation on the map - "proposed road reserved right to convey r- o- w to public highway authorities " . Houses were built on all of the lots and there are 3 lots that are effected by what has happened . The houses were built to close to the road r- o- w under the present circumstances . It was alright when they were built because we didn ' t have zoning requirements . One house in particular on lot D was built 2 . 4 feet from the road r-o- w . That is in the road r-o- w not necessarily the pavement . The road , when it was constructed for the turn- around only half was constructed in the road r- o- w . The other half was constructed into what was to be dedicated to the town . The problem as he understands it is that the house on lot D had to drill a new well in order for it to be sold . The new well was drilled within the road r- o- w . Clm Evans - they went in a circle thinking the road was in the road r-o -w , drilling the well 50 feet or the proper amount from the center of the circle and assumed they were perfectly right and were on their own land . Atty Perkins - the problem that we have in the proposal is that this has always been a public filed record and we are bound by the contents of this layout . No matter what they assumed they would actually control , there is no legal question about it , it is what legally the town is supposed to have . The proposal then would be to do a similar realign - ment like the town did on Redwood Lane . The town would have to extend and obtain from 3 owners a T- shape for a turn- around on the end and convey back to the owners part of the circle . One problem is that the town does not have a written sketch proposal to show what will be done . The town has to have a survey showing the original r-o -w , the location of the pavement , the area to be deeded by the town and the area to be dedicated to the town so that we can realign the r-o- w showing the existing location of the pavement . When the town has received this information we can act , but a public hearing will have to be held . There was some discussion and . the Town Board decided to hold public hearing • on Nov 23rd at 7 : 00PM Atty Perkins - the Town Board can authorize the Hwy Supt , the Atty , and Supv to go ahead and reflect the realignment without the board members seeing it and give whatever assurance that are necessary to the owners . One owner is in the process of selling his property so that they can close , but this is not the preferred way to do it . The other way would be to set a public hearing and as soon as the maps become available they can be circulated to the board members and go through the formal requisite of the hearing and that you can effect the conveyance and realignment following the hearing . Clm Evans - would like the board to have a special meeting on Nov 23rd since there is a hardship problem for the owner of the house , so that he can have the closing as soon as possible . RESOLUTION #135 SCHEDULE PUBLIC HEARING NOV 23rd Clm Evans offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption : RESOLVED , that this Town Board hold a public hearing on Nov 23rd at 7 : 00 PM to consider the - dedication to the Town of Dryden certain properties to realign, and adjust a turn - around for Snyder Hill Court a town road and a proposal to abandon a certain protion of the turn - around no longer needed for public and highway purposes . 2nd Clm Metzger Carried Atty Perkins - also reported on the qualified abandonment of George Rd . The Town Hwy Supt has certified to the Town Board and to the Supt of Highways in Tompkins County that the portion. of George Rd , north of the former Lehigh Valley railroad underpass . and extending north , northwesterly direction to NYS Route 38 has not usually been traveled along the greater part for more than 2 years or more than 2 vehicles daily in addition to pedestrians or persons on horseback . That said portion has been improved but there are no residents located along said road , that qualifies abandonment of that portion of George Rd proper will not cause injustice or hardship to any owner or occupant of any land adjoining that . The Town is finishing the rest of the dedication of the new George Rd . The realignment qualifing and abandoning that portion of George Rd that the town no longer uses , which hasn ' t been used for 2 years . The reason for doing a qualified road abandonment is that it goes through lands not all owned by George Junior Republic . The qualified road abandonment leaves to each owner the right to go over that land to his property and relieves the town from any obligation to maintain or police that portion of highway . The procedure now that the Supt of Hwy has signed the certification is for the Town Board to certify in writting that they feel the qualified abandonment is proper and will not cause injustice or hardship and to request the Supt of Hwys of the County of Tompkins to hold a public hering to find out whether or not the qualified road abandonment is in the best interest . Assuming they hold a public hearing and there is no objection the Town and County Supt of Hwys and the Town Board sign a certification and it will be recorded in the County Clerk ' s Office at which time the qualified abandonment will become effective . Atty Perkins - also reported that Mr Mobbs has notified him that the town will have to pay the $ 55 . 00 to have the state inspection done on the Lewis St Bridge . The county will not maintain a town bridge within the village .

QUESTIONS AND/OR COMMENTS Supv Cotterill - read a letter from Town Attorney Perkins regarding the proposed Snyder Hill Court turn- around . Enclosed find a photo - copy of the George Schlecht survey map showing what is proposed for a turn - around at the end of Snyder Hill Court . He finds that the surevey and the proposal largely unsatisfactory . To begin with you are not correcting the problem with the pavement . The pavement will still be on property not owned by the town . There is no satisfactory way we can prepare a deed description from the town to the adjoining owners of that portion of the r- o- w which is to be quick claimed to them . It appears to him that this proposal should be rejected in favor of a proposal to include the turn -around which encompasses all existing pavement . A survey from which the appropriate legal instruments can be prepared for dedication of the realigned portion of the town and quick claimed by the town to the adjoining property owners of that portion which no longer is needed by the town . Mr Charles Lutton , 17 Snyder Hill Court - the circel has been there for 30 years . When they bought the property in 1971 everything went through fine with the abstract . Supv Cotterill - apparently there has not been any official survey of the property . This board and this highway commissioner have not been involved with this . It was all done by a previous town board and previous highway commissioner . He was not sure who did the developing . Obviously ,. there has been some serious errors , done either by the developer or the previous highway commissioner or the land owners not knowing what was done or not done . Apparently what was deeded to the town , the highway didn ' t put the pavement when it was deeded . According to the map the house is within 4 or 5 feet from the town property and the well is on the town property . This error has been made by everybody in the past and the town would like to see this straightened out . There was some discussion . Mr John Hunt , 16 Snyder Hill Court - One of the problems over the years for the residents and the highway dept . is in the plowing of the circle . Mr Hunt has contacted Hwy Supt Humphrey to see if there would be something feasible that could be worked out in the form of a t- shap which he would be able to plow easier and work a land trade on that basis . The came up originally with a proposition which was roughly staked out . It was surveyed and the original survey went to Mahlon Perkins . He acted strangely and in his letter he stated that the pavement will still be on property which is not owned by the town and he makes a proposal which still leaves pavement on property that is not owned by the town . If you notice on parcel # 5 and the other corner of the cross bar of the t- shape which he has ignored , do not cover the present pavement . Further he plans for some reason to extend , in parcel # 3 and # 4 , the town r - o-w for approximately 14 feet more making the little space between Cornell University line and our line almost totally usless . In his discussion with Mr Humphrey , and this was also discussed with the potential purchaser of the Charles Lutton property that they wouldn ' t expect the pavement torn up or they wouldn ' t expect the t - shape to be built until, such time the town was ready to move in and repave or whatever . If the town wanted to come in and put in some footings so that they could use the t - shape to plow fine . Mr Humphrey said that all he needed was a 21 foot wide t - shape . Mr Hunt wanted to know what the argument was about ? Supv Cotterill - the attorney feels why should the town accept a 21 foot wide strip when we have pavement to the end of it . . Mr Hunt - we have 4 attorneys , one for the buyer , the seller , his attorney and the town attorney . He can say this categorically that he will not accept Mahlon ' s proposal . You will have to condemn it as far as his property is concerned . He also does not understand why we have a 100 foot long t - shape rather that the 90 feet that is specified in other town ordinances . Supv Cotterill - we require 60 feet in each direction minimum . He built the last one that was deeded to the town and that was 60 feet:' in all directions . There was some discussion . Supv Cotterill asked Hwy Supt Humphrey if the 21 foot wide t -shape would be adequate if there was a lot of snow there ? Hwy Supt Humphrey - yes , he has gone up and looked it over and tried to compromise for all 3 property locations . There would be no problem up there for the truck that goes up to plow the road . Supv Cotterill - we have to be very sure that we are not putting the town highway in a position where they will not have room to operate equipment and 21 feet is not a great deal of room . Right now the town owns that circle , once we give up the property the town will not have any rights . If we end up with 21 feet and some day it will be to small the town may beg for a bigger place to turn the truck around . If a truck gets off the pavement we are liable for any damage created . It is this boards obligation to protect the taxpayer , but at the same time the town doesn ' t want to create a problem for the people beyond what is necessary . Closed public hearing 7 : 25PM • SPECIAL MEETING NOVEMBER 23 , 1982 Supv Cotterill called the meeting to order at 7 : 25PM Mr Tim Baldwin from Hunt Engineers was present and gave a report on the Cortland Road Sewer Dist . The have had a pre- design meeting with DEC involving all of the municipalities . The applicable portion to your part of the project was that in the priority list they have you listed for an eligble cost of $ 263 , 000 . 00 . They mentioned that a resolution passed by this board listed a figure of $ 250 , 000 . 00 Atty Perkins - we are authorized to bond $ 250 , 000 . 00 Mr Baldwin - what has happened is that the final estimate in the facility plan comes up with an eligle cost of $ 263 , 000 . 00 , which is in excess to what you are bonded for . DEC has recommended to wait until we receive the final detailed construction estimate and see where we stand with respect to that total figure . There should be no problem applying for the grant increase or to change your resolution . There will be some paper work involved , but that is no problem . The have their map plotted in rough form and they have received some of their utility information back . Supv Cotterill asked Don Lowe from the SPCA to attend the meeting because there have been several questions that have arisen regarding dogs . There was some discussion and Supv Cotterill wanted to know if any of the towns have done anything to adjust the fees . Don Lowe - has not had any feed back yet . They are planning to hold a meeting in January and invite representatives from all of towns and lay out their situation . There are a couple of options : 1 - is to increase the license fee or 2 - increase the impoundment fee . They are now in the process of working on their 1983 budget . There was some discussion regarding :the turn- around on Snyder Hill Court . RESOLUTION #156 REALIGN AND ADJUST TURN-AROUND ON SNYDER HILL COURT C1m Metzger offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption : RESOLVED , that this Town Board increase the width to 32 feet on the Lutton side of the T- shape and leave the other side (Hunt side ) at 21 feet . BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED , that the Town is authorized to accept a conveyance from Mr John Hunt for whatever it takes to convey that portion as described in the 21 feet wide T- shape and the Lutton portion of 32 feet and further authorize the Supervisor to convey back to Lutton half of the circle that applies to Lutton . 2nd CIm Jordan Carried • /Adjourned : 8 : 30 PM ( 4- Susanne Lloyd Town Clerk
