SPECIAL MEETING
September 9 , 1985
Supv Cotterill called the special meeting to order at 7 : 30 PM
PRESENT : Supv Cotterill , Clm Evans , Clm Webb , Clm Schlecht , Clm Garlock
and Atty Perkins
Supv Cotterill - stated that this was a special meeting called for the purpose
of the Town Board to act on the application for the special permit of Dryden
Housing that was submitted in August . It has since that time , been referred
to the Town Planning Board . The Town Planning Board has reviewed the application
and has held several meetings with a committee of the residents from Lee Road .
The residents were asked to meet with the developers and the Village of Dryden and
to submit any of their concerns to the Town Planning Board . All of the processes
have been carried out in considerable detail . This Town Board has the written
minutes and reports from the Village of Dryden , the Town Planning Board , the
County Planning Board , the developers , and the residents . As much as possible
the Board members have been furnished with all of this data . At this time the
Board has the responsibility of making the decision . This Board will have a lot
of discussion and they have not met , so would like to request the people to leave
the Board free to discuss the application among themselves . It will only be open
for public discussion if the Board members want to ask certain questions of the
people or the developer . The Board reserves this right to ask . (1
The first order of business that has to be gone over is the SEQR regulations and
environmental impact statement .
Atty Perkins - there are two decisions that the Town Board has to make . Whether ,
or not this project has significant environmental impact . If you find that it does
not , then the Board can entertain the special permit application , with which the
public hearing has already been held . If the Board finds that the project ma Z
have or does have a significant environmental impact then the Board will be forced
to require the developer to file with the Board a draft environmental impact
statement addressing all of the identified concerns . The Board first must make
several determinations . One by resolution , and it can be done within one resolution .
The Board must determine whether or not this action is subject to SEQR .
Atty Perkins - felt that the Board can only make one finding and that it is subject
to SEQR . It is clear that SEQR was attended to address these kinds of issuance .
Just because an action is subject to SEQR , does not mean that an environmental
impact statement has to be produced . After you determine that it is subject to
SEQR then you have to determine the type of action it is . It can either be a
Type I action , Type 2 action , an exempt action , excluded action or an unlisted
action . It is his opinion that reviewing the appropriate applicable regulations
promulgated under SEQR this is an unlisted action . It is clearly not a Type I action
and the significance of that is that a Type I action does require the. environmental
impact statement . If it is an unlisted action , you then have to determine whether
or not it has a significant environmental impact . To make that determination there
is a list of criteria . There are 11 factors and different parts of each factor .
Each one will be addressed individually and based upon the Boards responses and
opinions in answering the questions about the criteria , you will have to make
a decision whether or not it has a significant impact .
Atty Perkins - the first is to determine who will be the lead agency . In the
past the Board has taken that resonsibility . As far as he has been able to
determine there are no other agencies which are involved . Therefore , it will be
appropriate for this Town Board to be the lead agency . Since there are no other
agencies involved whose approvals are sought with the project , coodinated review
is not required . The Board has to make a determination that this is an action
subject to SEQR , then determine who will be the lead agency , and the type of action .
Felt that it is appropriate to make a resolution that 1- this is an action which
is subject to SEQR ; 2- that the Town Board of the Town of Dryden shall be the
Lead agency ; 3 - that this is an unlisted action under the applicable rules and
regulations .
RESOLUTION # 166 SEQR - LEAD AGENCY AND UNLISTED ACTION
1
Clm Garlock offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption :
RESOLVED , that 1- . . this is an action which is subject to SEQR ; 2 - that the Town
Board of the Town of Dryden shall be the Lead agency ; 3- that this is an unlisted
action under the applicable rules and regulations .
2nd Clm Schlecht I Roll call vote - all voting YES
/t
Atty Perkins in addressing the criteria in Section 617 . 11 you may want to
refer to different documents and statements which have been presented . The
ones that would be appropriate to consider are 1- the long form environmental
assessment form : 2 - a copy of a letter from the Commissioner of Planning ,
Frank R . Liguori dated Sept 4 , 1985 ; 3- the statement from the Town of Dryden
P lanning Board dated August 27 , 1935 ; and 5 - the memorandum to the Dryden Town
B oard by the developers dated Sept 4 , 1985 with the attachments a , b and c and
two appendices a and b . The attachment c being another memorandum dated
August 22nd . The memorandums and attachments are the product of the developer .
The Board mayjfeel free to accept , reject or modify any part of those statements
as part of your- decision making process . If any other statements have been
filed or any other comments that have been received by the Town Board , you
can also take! those into consideration .
Atty Perkins- _ • going down the check list for the criteria in answering the
criteria someone should make a comment on the record to each for each part
and some can be taken together .
Section 617 . 11 ( 1 ) .- a substantial adverse change in existing air quality ,
water quality , or noise levels ; - --
Clm Schlechtj- lets make it clear which site we are talking about . This new
site plan which has been moved approximately 600 feet from the end of Lee Road
which has been revised 8- 26 - 85 .
Atty Perkins j - for the record we should reflect the size of the project and
its development location with its existing physical features .
Supv Cotterill - it sets east of the east line of the TC 3 building itself .
600 feet from the end of Lee Road and is 189 units consisting of two buildings
three stories high and will have parking lots and will be landscaped .
Clm Schlechtj - as far as change in the water and air quality , does not feel
that it has never been an issue . As far as noise levels go , it is 600 feet
from the nearest residence and 50 to 60 feet above . He cannot see any problem
with the newlproposed location .
Atty Perkins - . ( 1 ) ---- whether there is a substantial adverse change in solid
waste production ; ---
I
Supv Cotterill - it would be hooked into the public sewer and arrangements
would have to be made about garbage pickup . .
Atty Perkins - ( 1 ) - whether there is a substantial increase in potential
for erosion , jflooding , or drainage problems ; ---
Supv Cotterill - this has been a concern , and the Board has to determine
whether it is properly designed .
Clm Garlock '- as - he understands it the developer has agreed to make sure the
runoff situation will be no worse than it is at the present time .
Supv Cotterill - the developers stated they can control it to zero increase .
Clm Schlechtj - the peak rate of runoff from the project is a standard procedure
that developers and engineers have to go throughb with the increase concern in
flooding . There is no reason why a particular site like this , if it is designed
properly that the rate of runoff from the site in question should be any greater
or will not be any greater than the peak rate of discharge currently . . He felt
that as partjof our special permit process that if you are so inclined there will
be a condition that the procedure for having the Town Zoning Engineer do the
calculationsland make sure that it is done properly . There is nothing unusal
and quite common and does not see any reason why if the Board makes sure the
design incorporates it that there should be any increase flooding or relation =
to drainage . 1 -
Atty Perkinsl - ( 2 ) -- whether or not there will be a substantial significant
e ffect on th'e environment by the removal or destruction of large quantities
o f vegetation or fauna ; the substantial interference with the movement of
any resident' or migratory fish or wildlife species ; impacts on a signficant
habitat area ; - - .
Atty Perkins' - obviously there will be some condition in the site now where
it is overgrown crop land with some Christmas trees planted . The part that
is not developed at all will be planted back to lawn . . . .
Tim Buhl -. anything that is not paved or where a building is will be lawn .
Atty Perkins! - ( 2 ) -- whether or not there will be a substantial adverse effect
on a threatened or endangered species of animal or plant or the habitat of such
a species ; -'--
I
Clm Evans - ithere was no reason that he knew of and all of the Board members agreed .
I? ?
Atty Perkins - ( 3 ) -- whether this action will have a significant effect on the
environment by the encouraging or attracting of a large number . of people to a
place or places for more than a few days compared to the number of people who
would come to such place absent the action ; ---- , He felt that the intent here
is to address the question of rock concer.ts , or large events such as that . You
might make the determination as, to whether you feel that 48 .units , even if
they were all full , means ,'aclarge number of people .
•
Clm Schlecht - a. large number of people compared to what ? It has to be relative
to something . A large number of people compared to ones going to TC 3 - no ,
a large number compared to that part of town the answer would be no , a large
number to what is there now the answer would be yes . If the question is read
in context then they would assume it would be ' like rock concerts , etc .
Atty Perkins -- , (4 ) -- whether Or not the action will have :a significant effect
on the . environment by , the -creation of a material ' conflict with a community ' s
existing plans or goals as officially approved or adopted ; -- you will note
from your zoning ordinance that this is an allowed use by a special permit
in this zone . You might also refer to the special permit application memorandum
dated Sept 9th . There was one area where he could find where there was a
potential deficiency in the plans and that had to do with the number of parking
spaces , because the density as far as the use goes does not come anywhere near
the threshold established by our ordinance and this memorandum . correctly points
that out . Including the lotto be covered by buildings , it is nowhere near
what could be put there , under allowed uses , even .a use without a special
permit . Also , the size of the units , they are large enough according to our
Town Ordinance . You might want to consider the fact that alrof the setback
requirements have been met on the special permit application . The special
permit can be granted on the condition that all other area and density
✓ equirements of the ordinance have been met . You cannot vary that as far as
this Board is concerned . :You need to make some decision or position of finding
with. respect to # 4 . '
Clm Garlock - there Is no :: question that they are well within the limits .
Atty Perkins (5 ) whether or not this action is likely to have an impairment
o f the character or quality. of important historical , archeological , architectural
o r asethetic : resources or of existing community or neighborhood character ; ---
Clm Schlecht - felt that question was not relevant , there are no : .historical ,
archeological , architectural or asethetic resources ' that he is aware of .
Atty Perkins - that is basically because of the condition of the site .
, Atty Perkins - (6 ) =- whether or not the action will have a major °change in the
use of either the quantity or type of energy ; --- this has . been answered in the •
long form environmental assessment form (you can ask the developers if you have
any other question)
Clm Garlock - wanted to know what source of energy would be used .
Tim Buhl - right now they are looking at electrical heat . They have met with.
NYSE & G and they .can see no problems with serving the project with electric or
gas if necessary .. .
Atty .PerkinSH- (7 ) whether or not this action will have a significant effect
on the environment by the creation of a hazard to human health or safety ;
Clm Evans - does not see any problem because there will be not traffic to Lee Rd
area and that was one of the concerns that was expressed and addressed .
Atty Perkins - (8 ) -- whether or not the action has a significant effect on the
environment by a . substantial change in the use , or intensity of use of land or
other natural resourcres or in their capacity to support existing uses ; ---
Clm Schlecht - felt what this paragraph was referring to may be more relevant to
coming - up with new use or change in water . It is just over grown crop land now .
Atty Perkins -- t(9 ) -- whether or riot the action will have a significant effect
on the environment by the creation of a material demand for other actions which
would result in one of the above consequences ; ---- Is there likely to be a demand
for other actions of . this character or a different character by this action itself ..
That can be anything from expansion of number of units , to a convenient store or
anything else there . That is as wide open as you can get . There are not any
identified that he knows about . The action they are talking about here is the
action which might be subject to SEQR as to whether or not there might ' be other
actions which might tend to have a significant environmental impact .
Clm' Evans - cannot see how there can be with having its own SEQR review.
Atty Perkins - that is what they are trying to do now with this question in case
there are any identified nor or likely based on this action so that we don ' t
overlook long term decision making . The action is construction and then use .
If this was implemented in would automatically or likely create a material demand
for other actions which might be subject to SEQR .
dal •
Clm Schlecht - cannot foresee what might happen by passing this causes demand
for something else which might have an adverse effect . .
Atty Perkins ) - • an example might be if you gave a permit to tin& gravel and the
permit did not include counting a crusher , . etc . Everyone might not think that
was the nextllogical step . It - needs to be addressed to all df the things at
one time , if they • can ' be identified; If you can ' t identify them you just have
to answer the question on the facts you have .
Clm Schlecht - could see no problem .
Atty Perkins l -(10bhether there are changes in two or more elements of the
environment , jno one of which has a significant effect on the environment , .
but which. wh.en taken together result in ' a substantial adverse impact on the
environment: ; : . - this is similar to the last question that was addressed .
Clm Webb —does not see where it is going to demand anything except . maybe . .
another building . if they are ever going to expand . It doesn ' t demand anything
as far- as lie!. can , see . It obviously . isn ' t farm, land once you . put a. building
there . . .
Atty Perkins; - the position of the Board then is that there are no changes in
two or more elements in the environment ''_ taken together have that effect .
Clm Webb - that is correct
•
Atty Perkins - ( 11 ) -- whether there are two or more related actions undertaken ,
funded or approved by an agency , no one of which has or would haveca significant
effect on the environment , but which cumulatively meet one or more of the criteria
in this section ; this is a Type ' I action so that the answer would obviously
have to be no .
Atty Perkins - o once the Board has made a decision on each criteria you take
• the sum opinion of each item and make your determination whether or not based
on . your review of the .criteria . Your decision should refer to it you want one
or any of the different attachments . The ones that you think are important
and you wish to adopt . You might want to take a minute to review the statements
mentioned earlier including the statement from the Planning Board , which addressed
their concerns of drainage , increased .runoff , the location. of the . road , and
the location .of the site . . Attempts have . been made to meet those . The same
would be true for the Commissioner of Plannings letter dated Sept 4th and the
long form Environmental Assessment form which there is a question that is
marginal asto whether it should be a long form or a short form . The short
form could .have been sufficient since it is an unlisted action . The developer
did fill out the long. and was not sure if it added more than the short form
would have except that it does look at different questions which have been
presented , You can either accept or reject any part of the developers answers .
Supv Cotterill - . his personal opinion is that the most important part is
controlling water runoff . The Planning Board states that drainage and
increased runoff were a concern as origianlly presented . The developers have
come up with a detailed drainage plan which appears to meet the - need. Any
drainage plan , however , should be . checked . by someone having adequate technical
expertise to : analyze such a plan . The County . Planning Dept stated that they
approve th.e ' revised location of the alternate siting approximately 600 feet
further east as being the most appropriate to reduce the impact on the
residents of Lee 'Rd .
Clm Schlecht - having gone up there to look at the site , is a long way from the
nearest house . He felt that the residents concerns have been warranted and not
irrational at all . The developers have come a long way from the Original proposal .
He notes that it is - as nearly as far from TC 3 as . it is from the nearest house .
He asked the developers if there was going to be any pedestrian access or any
access fromIthe housing project to Lee Rd '', or any future plans ? .
Tim Buhl -• • no , they do not have any plans . •
Clm Schlecht - according . to the environmental impact statement you have to
judge how it .will effect the environment . There are 2 or 3 . major concerns
as he sees it • as to whether or not it is going to be mesh . between. this and
the neighborhood . and where the site is . He sees that as being minimized .
. I
Secondly ,- the storm drain runoff . can be technically controlled . . He can see
no reason legally why we. can ' t make sure that it is going to be controlled .
These people have a legal right to dispose of their property and to make use
of it . . Our zoning allows it by a special permit and the Lee Rd people have to
understand that . The Town Board is allowed to do this if . they address certain
concerns . If the site plan incorporates the areas that we want to see addressed '
and setup the mechanism - and cheek that it is done , he does not see how we can
turn it down .
. . .
/ al
Clm Evans - one of the most critical things that he sees of the environment
is traffic . If the site is seperated from Lee Rd and there will not be any
traffic in that direction there should not be any problem . It would also
appear that although this isn ' t going to.' bie ' a public road , he would assume
that the majority of the traffic wouldn ' t even go out on Livermore Rd but
would come down the TC . 3 complex itself .. If that is the case then effective
traffic on the whole current area should be almost negligible .
Atty Perkins - you need a resolution based on your findings you reviewed in the
criteria and the long form environmental assessment form which was filed , -
along with the statement from the Dryden Town Planning . Board , the statement
from the Tompkins County Department of Planning and the memo to the Town
Board with attachments and appendices including the memo of Aug 22nd . If the
Board finds that the action does not have any environmental significance
within that term as it is defined and interpreted under SEQR rules and
✓ egulations which promulgated thereunder .
RESOLUTION # 167 ACCEPT STATEMENTS AND FORMS
Clm Garlock offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption :
RESOLVED , that this Town Board accept the findings in the criteria and the
long form environmental assessment form which has been filed , along with the
statement from the Dryden Town Planning Board , the statement from the Tompkins
County Deparment of Planning and the memo to the Town Board with attachments
and appendices including the memo of Aug 22nd . The Town Board also finds that
this action does not have any environmental significance within the term as
it is defined and interpreted under SEQR rules and regulations which
promulgated thereunder .
2nd Clm Webb Roll call vote . - all voting YES
Atty Perkins - for the special permit you have to meet SEQR rules and regulations .
This is an allowed use with a special permit in this zone . The developer will
have to go through our Article XIII , which is our speical permit process . The
public hearing has already been held , another two meetings were held by the
Dryden Town Planning Board with respect to this application . The items in
Article XIII Section 1303 . 2 specific requirements -- In reaching a determination
the Town Board shall consider the following ( a ) whether the requirements in
Section 1303 . 1 have been met , which has to do with the application requiring
certain types of information . You have before you the original application ,
also the plans including the revised plan which shows the relocation of this
project , the same design but at . least 600 feet further up the hill . Then you
have to make a determination (b ) whether the location , use , and the nature and
intensity of operation will be in conflict with. . the allowed uses. . of the zone or
n eighborhood . -- ( c ) -- whether the use will be more objectionable or depreciating
to adjacent and nearby properties (by reason of traffic , noise , vibration , dust ,
fumes , smoke , odor , fire , hazard , glare , flashing lights or disposal of waste
o r sewage ) than the operation of the allowed uses of the zone ; -- ( d ) whether
the use will discourage or hinder the appropriate development and use of adjacent
properties or neighborhood ; -- ( e ) whether a non- riesidential use adjacent to
an existing residential use shall be screened by a landscaped buffer strip or
suitable fencing , which there already is a committment from the developers to do
that . -- ( f ) -- whether health , safety and general welfare of the community may
be adversely affected . In making these determinations you might want to go over
them one at a time . If there are any conditions that the Board thinks ought to
be made a part of the discussion can be addressed at that time . The first on is
Section 1303 . 2 ( a ). whether the requirements in Section 1303 . 1 have been met ; -
this . basically has to do with the name of the applicant , description of the
premises , proposed use , including parking facilities . He notes that the ordinance
✓ equires 1. parking space for each bedroom and this Board does not have any
authority to require any . less . A legible sketch drawn to an approximate scale
showing size of building or structure and location on premises . -- The sketch is
that of the revised plan dated Aug 26th which the Board will be acting on . --
Sewage disposal and water supply facilities existent or proposed , together with
Tompkins County Health Department certification ; - - those will be handled through
the municipal . system ; -- the use of premises on adjacent properties ; - you are
aware of that because of the plans and the public hearings . -- a statment from
the applicant appraising the effect of proposed use on adjacent properties and
development of the neighborhood . -- There are two different memos from the developer
and in your determination under this section you have to either accept or reject
this memo . Another memo from the Lee Rd residents to . the Town Planning Board and
Town Board addressing their concerns of a decrease in adjacent property value ,
increase in Lee . Rd pedestrian traffic, excessi:veri noise , close proximity to Lee Rd
✓ esidential property , loss of privacy , negative environment impact, potential
safety hazard to children , potential tresspassing and property damage , future
expansion , immediate population expansion , fire control and excessive water runoff .
/ 3J
•
Atty Perkins - would assume that these will be complied with , but it is up to
the Town Boards to make that decision . You have to make certain the determination
as to whether those Section 1303 . 1 requirements have been met .
Clm Schlecht -i 1303 . 1 under : specific requirements that the Tomp Co Health Dept
has to certify that the sewage disposal and water supply facility is adequate ,
felt that the Town Board should make special note that in relation to the problem
with -Water pressure , and that the developers be required to present to the Health
Dept and to the Town Board for review the necessary information to ascertain that
the dumping facilities will be adequate and will not adversely effect the Lee Rd
✓ esidents . At the same time we review the runoff and also note for the record
that the Health Dept will do it anyway , so that it will not be just the Town
o f Dryden , and independent agency , that will be looking at it .
Atty Perkins 4 as far as the village and town are concerned this should be
clearly understood that the maintenance of this pumping arrangement will not
be the responsibility of the village or the town . It will be the developers
expense , thatlis not to become part of the public system . They maintain the
pump and electricity to run it , etc as their operation until such time water
and sewer will be available . Ou_e of the conditions that is important for the
town and village both , is that they are not going to be allowed to hook-up to
the village water or sewer facilities until those plans have been met .
Clm Schlecht r the conditions for the sewage disposal and water supply facilities
should be approved and certified by the Tomp Co Health Dept and the Town of Dryden .
The other condition is parking facilities as far as the number of units and size
o f parking facilities to met the zoning requirement of one space per bedroom .
Wanted to know how many students per bedroom ?
Tim Buhl - 189 spaces all total required by the ordinance , which is 1 student
per bedroom . 1
Atty Perkins H wanted to point out at this time that the developers can go to
the Zoning Board of Appeals and ask for some relief on ' the required spaces which
may or may not happen if- the runoff is of a . concern . The less paved area that •
you have would be that less of a collection area and more chance for absorbtion .
The Town Board does not have the authority to change the required parking
spaces . . The parking facilities , setbacks and density and coverage all have to
be met . They inowhere exceed it by the plan .
Atty Perkins 7 1303 . 2 (b ) you must consider whether the use , location , and the
nature and intensity of operation will be in conflict with the allowed uses of
zone or neighborhood .
. _ .
Supv Cotterill - this . is an allowed use .
Clm Schlecht mulit- family is an allowed use in this zone by a special permit .
Atty Perkins dwelling units with more than three unrelated persons are allowed
uses by a special permit . whether the location , the use and the nature and
intensity of the operation will be in conflict with other allowed uses , not the
•
one you are discussing .
Clm Evans - within the zoning ordinance .
Atty Perkins- yes , under an RC Zone and the RC Zone is the most wide open
zoning you have .
Supv Cotterilil - read the allowed uses in a R-C Zone under Section 801 and 802 .
Clm Evans - iwanted it assured with the permit that this site will not have any
connection to Lee Rd . The topology there is not appropriate for any access but
would like to add that as a requirement within the permit . That no vehicle or
pedestrian access would be allowed from this site to Lee Rd .
Supv Cotterill - we have to say is across the village line .
Atty Perkins l - Section 1303 . 2 ( c ) =- whether the use will be more objectional
or depreciating to adjacent and nearby - properties ( by reason of traffic , noise ,
vibration , dust , fumes , smoke , odor , fire , hazard , glare , flashing lights or
disposal of waste or sewage ) . than the operation of the allowed uses of the zone . -
Clm Schlecht - could think of a lot of allowed uses that will be a lot more
objectional and that that it would not be objectional .
Atty Perkins - - - - ( d ) --whether the use will discourage or hinder the appropriate
development: and use of adjacent properties or neighborhood . ----
i
Clm Webb - half of it is TC 3 itself and it certainly shouldn ' t effect TC 3 . You
are only talking of land above and below this development . This you don ' t know
if it will effect the people on Lee Rd , if there is enough noise there to effect
the sale of a house . The Board has looked at the site and feels that it will be
shielded enough not to be that noisy . If you talk about the sale of property and
whether it would affected , the Board could not judge that question . The only land
/ 3 / .
that would be effected would be where the Christmas trees are located .
Supv Cotterill - this . developmentwill have to have water and sewer and felt
that there will be more applications for development in this area over the next
10 years . .
Atty Perkins - the question is will this use discourage or hinder development ?
Supv Cotterill - there will be applications for houses and development and doesn ' t
see where this will change anything that is developable . It will happen whether
or not this building is there or not . There will be applications for houses to
the village and applications for this parcel we are discussing tonight . Both
the town and village will see development there because there will be water and
sewer .
•
Atty Perkins ---- (_e )') whether. a non- residential use adjacent to an existing
residential use shall be screened by a landscaped buffer strip or suitable fencing .
Supv Cotterill - felt that there would be no problem if we require the buffer
strip that is specified in our commercial zone adjacent to residential property .
Clm Schlecht — felt that we could still require some sort of multiflora rose in
a certain location .
Clm Evans - felt that would be reasonable since they wanted some type of barrier
that vehicles and pedestrian could not go through that area to Lee Rd .
Atty Perkins --- (f ) -- whether health , safety and general welfare of the
community maybe adversely affected . --
Clm Evans cannot see where it is , as long as we are guarantying. ; that it is
isolated from the current community and felt that the Town Board was doing that .
There was some discussion regarding the buffer strip . That it be planted and
maintained and to be located starting with the southwest corner of the property
at least 200 feet north along the west line from the southwest corner of the
property and at least 500 feet east along the south line from the southwest
corner on the south. side of the property : The buffer strip meet the same
. specifications as requited in the M-A Zone .
-- The developers will have to design the runoff as stated and the design and
implementation will have to be approved by the Town ' s Engineer Gary Wood .
-- The developer shall build the road as shown. on the plans according to the
highway specifications and the design and exact location be approv'e . prior to
the construction by ' the Highway Superintendent .
-- The water and sewer hookups will have to be approved by the Village of Dryden .
Supt/ Cotterill - is it the Board ' s desire to issue a permit with all of the
conditions mentionld . The Town is obligated to issue the permit if all of the
terms have been met .
Clm Schlecht - wanted to go down the list because the residents from Lee Rd have
spent a lot of time and effort . The Town Board and Town Planning , Board have
also : Spent a lot of time reviewing the plans and site .
--- vehicular traffic - did notsee any vehicular traffic going down Lee Rd
and felt that most of the traffic was going down Livermore Rd and back to
TC 3 driveway . There would not be any more traffic generated than what is
there now , infact there might be even a decrease in traffic .
--- pedestrian traffic - when the proposed site was 75 feet away he felt that
, there would be a problem , but felt that it has been moved back 600 feet and
could not see any problem with the addition of the buffer strip . They would
hike out to TC 3 property or drive their cars and felt that would happen before
they would go down the step hill .
-- concern about planned expansion =-- for the project - any expansion has to go
this same process that we are now doing and doesn ' t feel any great sense for
this Board to allow any type of development closer than what has now been
proposed . It may expand , but not any closer than what has been proposed .
--- increased flooding due to water runoff - it is a relatively inexpensive •
design mechanism that would allow the runoff to be contained in the parking
lot , it can be retained on roofs , )• dry wells , have it perked down thru parking
lots with an open drain in the asphalt , there are many ways that it can be
handled .
--- water pressure to Lee Rd residents - can adequately addressed by the Health Dept .
--- closeness and proximity - it was formerly 75 feet way and now it is 600 feet
away from the nearest property .
--- devaluation of the property - he would be worried to and can understand that ,
but have seen development in other areas with the same concern that has been
expressed and have not seen that necessarily , plus this is an allowed use . It has
always been an allowed use by a special permit and the concerns have been addressed .
/ 3 a__
When you balance off the possible devaluation which may or may not occur
having not see a lot of it , if it is done properly and does not see it happening .
The Town . is obligated to issue the permit if the concerns have , been adequately
addressed . He has spent a lot of time thinking about this proposal. and
has not taken it lightly . °
Supv Cotterill - the Board has covered all of the concerns and ' conditions .

PUBLIC HEARING
SEPTEMBER 10 , 1985
SPECIAL PERMIT John Comerford - James Shippy
•
Minutes of the public hearing held Sept 10th at 7 : 45PM
Supv Cotterill read the notice that was published in the newspaper to consider
the application of John Comerford and James Shippy to build a 200 - 225 unit mobile
home park at 1968 Dryden Rd and at approximately 350 Johnson Rd . .
QUESTIONS AND/OR COMMENTS .
Mr Comerford - the area is the former Dryden Drive -In and approximately 70 acres
north of -the drive-in . They are interested in building a very high quality
mobile home park aimed at the senior citizens . They are not sure how that market is
but Mr . Shippy has made contacts • to sales agencies and a lot of people have indicated
an area in mobile home parks restricted to senior citizens . This was allowed by
law in the 1984 legislature . The site is properly zoned at the present time .
Part is in the RD Zone and the balance is in the RC Zone . Both zones make
provisions for mobile home parks by a special permit . In addition to the special
permit that is required by the town that they also comply with all municipal
agencies , Health Dept , DEC and anyone else who has jurisdiction in this matter .
Mr Comerford went over the site plan that they were proposing . There is one
existing well that delivers 35 gallons per minute and there is another well that
serviced the di-lye- in theater , but this well has not been tested . There is a good
source of water adjacent to Rt 13 . There is an area along the easter property
near Johnson Rd that is pretty wet , and this might not be suitable for development
/3V
that they propose . They did make tests and it appears that the site is
suitable for at least phhase one of the development . They do not propose
to change the drainage pattern in anyway . There will be some speed up of
the discharge because of the development that will be more pavement . They
propose to make a swale between two seperate paved roads for the water run -off .
They will use the existing entrance that was to the theater . As far as he
knows ' NYSDOT has made no plans in this . particular area for improvements that
might adjust what they plan to do in this area . If the Johnson Rd area
can be utilized they would come out Johnson Rd . They plan on having two exists
for . every lot , in the park The water system will be a loop system with valves
for each section . All of the utilities will be underground . They will
incorporate into their rules and regulations that all of the mobile homes
would be heated by either electric or natural gas . They would hope to have
the ' cooperation. of the Town and anyone else involved if they have to change
the design in a very limited fashion as they go on to other phases , if they
run into specimen trees . They felt it would be desirable , depending on the
soil and amount of water flow to create two or three small ponds . They are
here tonight for the approval of the phase one project for 30 mobile homes .
It would be about 200 feet back from Rt 13 .
Supv Cotterill - : wanted to know about Health Dept . approva4, plans for sewage or
what they foresee if this grows ?
Mr Comerford - they did not go -beyond phase one - with the Health Dept . They have
dug several deep holes , and made the perk tests , basically in the area of the
screen .. . This area • is very fine for the development of a • leach. field . They are
sizing the mains , manholes , and everything of that nature : in such a way that
as . it is .phased • they would end up with a manhole at the end of the northern
property _line : That would be the lowest manhole on the property - line . That would
be the lowest manhole on the property . It will be designed so that they are all
interconnecting in the different phases . They would like to see it going all the
way to Freeville . The design will be as such , that it could all be brought to
one point , and treated either as an on the site or off the site . The Health Dept
requires thatieach mobile home lot be 6 , 000 sq ft in size and their lots are
between 7 , 0001and 10 , 000 sq ft which are above the requirements . . For phase one
they plan on having a leach field . There are some wet areas on the east side of
the property and that may effect their design .
Gene Rotunda has any consideration or thought been given to the traffic to
this number of units in a condensed area . that • will be coming out onto Rt 13 ?
Mr Comerford i they know that it will generate traffic with 200 people living
there . He cannot anticipate ever generating the traffic that came out of there
when the drive-in was there .
Gene Rotunda 7 there are more cars today then there was 20 years ago and that
was only one or two nights a • week . You have a hard time getting out onto Rt 13
in the morning and it is a bad section of the road .
Jim Holman - lives across the road from the trailer sales , there are a lot of
animals killed there on that streatch of road and he does not like the proposal
at all .. He wanted to know if they were going to be strictly for senior citizens
like he has stated ? Is there a demand for that many homes for elderly people ?
Mr Comerford 7 no , he had hoped for a demand of that many homes for elderly people .
Jim Holman - you also stated that there would be no childern , that it would be
strictly senior citizens ?
Mr Comerford _ that is their goal , that is their preference to keep it for senior
citizens . There are no promises or regulations and he cannot guarantee that .
They are going into it as a business . If they cannot generate the volume , then
they would propose seperate areas for the adults and the children .
Roger Yonkin , German Cross Rd . - it seems to him that it is rather difficult to
design a plan for senior citizens and not yet know what is going to happen in
the ' future . If you are trying to draw them to the lot , you are telling. them
that it is a 'senior citizen community . You are going to have to give them
some kind of assurance which would be some kind of a contract . What he sees is
that you are not going to promote it as a senior citizen community , but just
for a senior community .
Mr Comerford 7 they will be promoting it as a senior citizen park . They could
tell them unless • they chose differently , they could live in a senior citizen
section , There would be a family section and a senior section .
Roger Yonkin E wanted to know how many lots the leach field would serve ?
Mr Comerford one leach field would serve 30 lots . There are two leach fields
that is served by an alternating serve and dump . The one field consisting of
two parks will serve 30 lots . They could not tell where they will be located
because they haven ' t tested the field yet .
_ Roger ' Yonkin - wanted to know the location of the recreational area if there
was going to be any .
Mr Comerford - all of the green area would be for recreation which would be
about 20 or 25 acres . .
Roger Yonkin - , wanted to know if there were any wetlands area located there ?
Mr Comerford - no there are not , and does not have the map , but he has checked it .
There are some wetlands to the west of them but none on the property .
Roger. Yonkin - some of the County Health Departments planning in the future ,
if you look around , in the past has , resulted in failed systems . An example
is on German Cross Rd which has a large system intended to take care of ten
apartments and it failed the first year .
Catherine Brown - she is curious as to how many buses go by there during the day
and why do they feel that senior citizens will be attracted to this location ?
Mr Comerford - thought it was a very pretty setting back there . There are at
least 5 or 6 TomTram buses a day that : go ' by . It is conveniently located , is
out in the county and different people enjoy different things .
Catherine Brown - felt that Johnson Rd , Rt 13 and Yellow Barn Rd is the most
dangerous intersection there is between the airport and the Village of Dryden .
`!You can ' t get out ' there because it is very hard to see : '
Mr Comerford - will be working with Roger Yonkin on the traffic aspects . They
will be running profiles from both directions for site distance . They might have
to generate ' a11 of •. their -traffic out Johnson Rd .
Catherine Brown - that is the one she is worried about because that is the worst one :
Carl Yengo , . Johnson Rd - wanted to goon record as completly being opposed to
this proposal. . He goes out Johnson. Rd everyday to. work and trys to deal with .
the intersection . You can ' t see past the telephone pole , the signs that Four
Seasons .put out , you have to deal with the traffic coming down Yellow Barn
Rd and the traffic coming over the hill from Dryden . Having half the size of .
Freeville living on that corner , does not know how they are going to deal with that .
He was also. wondering about the flooding .
Douglas Yaw , 353 Johnson Rd - felt that there is a lot of surface water in the
area where he is proposing his mobile home park . He is on the high side of the
property and has a gravel bank on his property which fills . a good 6 to 8 feet
deep which flows almost to Johnson Rd in the springtime . . .
' Jim Holman - Mr Comerford had stated that there is a law so that it would be
regulated .so that there would be no children in the Park . . . .
Mr Comerford - he was certain that last years 1984 legislation adopted an amendment
Section 236 of the Real Property Law that made specific provisions allowing mobile
home parks available for only senior citizens .
Jim Holman - you seem to be pushing the whole package that this is for the elderly
and that there will not be a kid problem , but yet that is not so . You are putting
in a park and it will not be strictly for the senior citizen .
Mr Comerford - hoped that they can go strictly for the senior citizen , but is also
confident that it can be controlled to different sections . He has done it before
in different _parks that he has been involved in .
Jim Holman - there is a serious traffic problem on Rt 13.: When you mentioned there
was a drive- in , . that was seasonal and it was late at night , but there were also
accidents . then . It is just a bad section .
Gene Rotunda - also wanted to go on record as being opposed to the project ,
primarily for the traffic situation . He is concerned since he lives near the
proposed park that it will devalue his house and the houses that he is building
in the Yellow Barn Rd area .
Charles Wehland , he has seen 6 inches of water going across Rt 13 in the springtime ,
and this is without anyone touching the drain fields below . He was wondering about
the proposed leach fields that they were going to put there for the trailer park .
There is water running all summer and winter long in that ditch now .
John Stevens , spoke on behalf of Mr Morse and Mr Tweitmann . - to the west of the
property John Tweitmann owns . There is an existing mobile home park that has a
permit for at least 21 units . Mr Morse is an interested buyer there and there is
litigation between Mr Tweitmann , Mr Shippy , and Mr Comerford over this property .
His concern is that with the exisitng health permits that were issued to Mr Tweitmann
by the Health Dept for those units , Mr Morse now has an application in to extend
somewhat the number of units . Along with the 200 unit park you will load Rt 13 .
/ .36
.
If the Board accepts this . project , in .particular the sewer part of the project ,
based on his test 's of the first 30 units . As he understands it we are here for
the 200 units : lYou don ' t have any information regarding the other 170 units .
The other problem is Johnson Rd itself , Regardless which direction the traffic
goes , you are going to have a problem . _That will mean extensive upgrading if it
is a town or county road . The concern is Johnson Rd , Rt 13 , the sewer , the water and
potential school problems . There is a problem with the 200 units .
Carl Randall , 1959 Dryden Rd - wanted to know the depth of the well and the .
• . water supply, not ?.
.
Mr Comerford - the depth is 134 feet and 35 gallons per minute .
Carl. Randall. -; wanted to know if they. .anticipated on drilling any more _we11s . .
to supply the trailers that they plan on putting in ? . • .
.
Mr Comerford - - they have another well that has not been tested yet and they .
do not know . the yield at the former drive-in . •
Carl 'Rand411 . - 'you . figure 012 supplying the 30 trailers with the one well that
you now have . Mr Comerford - yes . .
Carl Randall - . concerning the leach field , there is nothing on the map to show
where it Will ibe -located. Are you going to- run a line all the way to the north
of .your field lot the proposed map ? _ Wanted to know where the field , was going to
located for the. rfirst. .set or trailers and what kind , of .field , above . or below ground .
MT ,Comerford -, there will `be 2 leach fiel0( 60 . x 90 ft and will be in the ground .
Carl; Randall h .-wanted it pointed out ito • 'him on - the :map . The leach field would be
right in front -of the next set . of proposed trailers . . He - does . not : have . . the proposed
sites for the rest of the field . He can only show a plan . for 30 'units and comes
. up with a . .proposal for 200 units .. , He wanted to know if he has spoken with NYSE&G
regarding - the utilities ? Mr Comerford - no
Carl. .Randall -' wanted to know where the traffic is ..going to bo . He lives across
the street. and has policed a lot of accidents there and does not . like to do that ,
it is not a. .happy site . - You ,cannot see from .his driveway to Caskey ' s Garage if -
a . car is coining down .Rt 13 . Last year when. you applied to put . the .trailer sales
. in there , you ! stated that you were not .going for a park ,. it was just -going to
be for sales " _ ill
Richar.d -. Thayler - . wanted to. suggest to the Town . Board that prior to the _
consideration. kof this proposal , that • you ask the .parties to do . some area
studies as to Jtraffic ,. waste . disposal , water and traffic control . . All of
these things are being done by guess and by gosh . . For this type of proposal
fiet :that it was like playing Russian roulette if you approve it tonight withou 4
the proper studies . '"

Carl Randall - asked Roger Yonkin , who works for NYSDOT , if there is any proposal
for changing RtL13 in this area if the park goes in .
Roger Yonkin - . we are the maintenance officer here and if he had the money they
would do a . lot to Rt 13 . As far as he knows , the Rt 13 corridor is never going
to happen . There are safety remedies that could be done like passing lanes ,
safety turning lanes that could be done at Yellow Barn Rd , Johnson Rd and other
intersections . The removal of trees , straightening the road and things like that
will be done sometime in the future . The department is talking about this being
done prior to 5f years .
Supv Cotterill the State has stalled for years waiting for the different
municipalities trying to agree on the Rt 13 corridor . The State as of last
year has started upgrading the road . They do have schedules for over the
next 3 or 4 years to do work on all of the intersections from NYSE&G to the
Village of Dryden .
Closed public hearing .

Hamilton Alporp - requested the Town Board for a tax refund because his property
was assessed fo'r a lot more than he had paid for it . The Assessment Dept has
lowered his assessment , but he did miss the grievance day for the first year and
would like to see if he could get some type of an adjustment of a tax refund since
he had missed the first grievance day .
Supv Cotterill 1- this Town Board does not have the authority for a tax refund .
If someone purchases property and they are not satisfied with the assessment

involved agencies . The involved agencies are at least the Town Board , Town Planning
Board , New York State Dept of Transportation , County Health Dept , New York State
Dept of Environmental Conservation . These 5 agencies will need coordinated
review. Among the 5 agencies there will have to be an agreement as to who is
going to be the Lead Agency . The Town Board can either do that themselves or
refer it to the Planning Board . Once the agreement is made , the Lead Agency has
15 days to make a declaration . . A postitive declaration , a draft environmental
impact statement must be prepared . A negative declaration , means you just go
through the SEAR compliances . Once the draft of the environmental impact statement
