lith be approved as submitted . Carried
COUNTY BRIEFING •
Co . Rep Watros - reported that the recycling program is now
u nderway . The central process facility site is being discussed ,
The City of Ithaca is opposed to the site being located on Elmira
Rd . The County is standing firm on their position until the
e nvironmental impact statement has been received .
- � there was interest at the Public Works committee meeting that
the George Rd bridge should be replaced . This is going to involve
a great deal of planning from the town and from the county . There
w ill have to be some traffic patterns to support the fact that •
Oil the route would relieve traffic congestion in the Village of
Dryden . The County Board might consider this short term plan and
maybe force the replacement of the George Rd bridge . He alto felt
alternate bypasses should be discussed -
• -- - the youth plan is now being reviewed by the various committees
o f the County Board . In previous • years the City of Ithaca has
✓ endered services to the youth on a county wide basis . The City
o f Ithaca has decided that they are not going to service youth
anywhere outside the City limits . The County , through a series of
ad hock committees and local representatives to youth boards have
developed a proposal which will put the County Board in a
position of financing youth services on a county wide basis . The
program at this point is of maintenance service levels which was
provided by the City of Ithaca and will cost the county about
$ 500 , 000 . 00 to $ 750 , 000 . 00 a year , which will be a significant
increase in our planning levels . This would be about e C per cent
budget increase . The County is somewhat committed to render some
level of service and it appears they are locked into the area of
a half e million dollars . The City of Ithaca has decided not to
continue their programs and fund it by city tax dollars , an it
w ill shift to the county tax base . The youth recreational
services is not r 'rrared in any way in county other than
the division for youth funds . This will go into effect in Jan of
1990 ,
Ed Thomas - wanted to know if there were results on the DR7 deep
well drilling tests ?

Re : Proposed kA Zone
in the late 1960 ' s as an outcome of the studies for the General Plan , the
Planning Board of that time recommended the adoption of an RA zone as part of
the original zoning package . The RA proposal of that time was extremely
restrictive , allowing only seasonal recreation buildings ( i , e . hunting cabins )
and certain farm uses
The need for such a zone was not evident to the general public at that time
due to lack of immediate development pressures primarily , and also partially
due to the severity of the restrictions proposed at a time when the Town was
just beginning to implement land use regulations .
About 3 - P years ago the Planning Board again recommended an RA zone , less .
restrictive than the original proposal , as a part of a general updating of
our overall zoning regulations . At that time the proposal was as a separate
zone which appeared to encompass much of the Town and provided fairly limited
usage . One of the concerns expressed was that it eliminated substantial amounts
of R - C area at the same time the R- 61 area was being greatly expanded to cover
much area previously designated R - P .
The problems which caused the Planning Board to request an R- A zone have both
continued and become far more evident . We ' ve had extensive development pressures
on sloped and hilltop areas leading to runoff problems , siltation , and erosion .
There have been concerns about flooding due to increased rate of runoff . Concerns
about well water quantity and quality have came up increasingly in association
with uphill development .
At a suggestion from the Town Board we have again addressed the problem . Instead
of a new set of use restrictions , we have considered an overlay zone approach in
which most underlying zone uses would be allowed , concentrating instead on
water - related factors . We have had detailed maps prepared on a tax - parcel - by -
tax- parcel basis which demonstrate that it is feasible to both implement and
e nforce such an overlay concept ( similar to flood zones , fresh water wetlands ,
e tc . designated throughout the state . ) Nonetheless , we recognize that any such
o rdinance should provide an appeals procedure for site - specific review of map
boundaries .
The attached document may still have areas needing clarification . We are also
aware that there may be some new definitions needed ( e . g . " forester " , ' overlay" . )
Having spent a substantial amount of time on this concern over the last few
years we are looking forward to assisting the Town Board in any way possible to
bring about its i• mplementation •

ARTICLE VI : DISTRICT RECULATIONS i- A ZONES

7 In considering any proposed subdivision in the R - A overlay zone , the
8 Planning Board shall give special weight to the impact of any proposed
9 new roads on drainage and runoff .
10 Section 604 Fees ( Since this will require perhaps some additional checking
11 and/or professional assistance in verifying drainage plans , we assume the

14 in areas of the II - A overlay cone where public water and sewer are not
15 available , and there are no slopes greater than 15 within 0 ` of

17 Appeals in their considerations may wish to grant an area variance .
18 Any variance thus granted shall at no times allow a lot smaller than
19 two acres , and shall provide adequate provisions for implementation of a
20 professionally engineered drainage plan so that there is no increasein the
21 amount or rate of runoff from the site at peak flow .

elm Evans - went to the construction management committee meeting
and the only report was that the test drilling were within 1GO to
260 feet has they had expected . His understanding is that the
shallowest well of 163 feet . There was no documentation given
about that while he was there .
Co . Rep Wat ro' s - he has not heard anything and felt that there
w ould be some general report neat Tuesdays but no detailed data
at thin point .
Co . Rep Tillapaugh - the public works committee met last week and
✓ oted to recommend to the County Board a disposal fee for all
garbage and all construction debris that everyone will pay their
• fair share . It used to be called a tipping fee and now it will be
called a landfill disposal fee . They hope to implement this by
the 1st of January and estimate at the present time for the first
year approximately $ 20 . 00 a ton . The fee will increase until the
new landfill is built and into operat i on . The burden will not be
put on all the taxpayers . All tax exempt properties and business
w ill have to Of their fair share . For the first year of the
✓ ecyclable program the county is taking care of . In addition to
the disposal fee you will still have to pay your regular garbage
collection fee . The disposal fee will take care of the operation
at the present time , pay for the new landfill , the operation of
the new landfill and the expense of closing the old landfill on
Caswell Rd and Landst nom landfill .
- - reported on the recycling program for the first two weeks of
o peration _ in the Village of Fnyeville they collected 8E0 pounds
o f paper and GIGO pounds of glass ; 2nd week was 980 pounds of
paper and 280 pounds of glass . In the Village of Dryden was 2
tone of paper and 1300 pounds of glass for the first week . Other
area figures were not available at this time .
CITIZEN PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR
E rica Evans / Turkey Hill Rd - wanted to know the status of the
Turkey Hill Water and Sewer Dist . ?
S upv dchug - the engineers should hare the plans within a week or
two . The Town Board will have a planning session with the
e ngineers and then will have a meeting for public input .
E rica Evans - also wondered if the Town has ever considered e
n oise ordinance as there is more density in different areas .
S upv Sohxg - the City of Ithaca just passed a noise ordinance ,
and yet they do not know how they are going to enforce it .
Clm Evans - the Town tried to dog that several years age and at
that time that was the problem as to how it would be enforced .
This could he looked at again .

5 - 8- 89 page 3
ilfrEd Brothers - wanted to know if the Fall Creek recreation area
w as on the agenda and going to be discussed .
S upv Schug - it is on the agenda , but Assemblyman Luster has
suggested that the Town of Dryden and the Town of Ithaca have a
.joint meeting with him to clear up some questions and answers for
both town boards . There was some discussion and a meeting was
scheduled for August 29th at the Varna Community Center at 7 : 30PM
J im Willard , 5 Hall Woods Rd - sine he has been involved with
w etlands protection and he is not a neophyte at this . He has been
involved in different portions of New York State and the Gulf
Coast . He has learned quite a bit i n this process and one thing
that has come out is that quite a few of the soils within the DR7
dump site are hyclric soils , which is recognized by the Federal
Government as being that . CROWD has sent a letter to the Army
Corp of Engineers , and he has a copy for the Town, Board . They
h ave promised to come down within the next two weeks to look at
the site . The County hasn ' t applied for a permit for dredging and
f illing and this is required by DEC . The Army Corp of Engineers
h as a very stringent permitting process . They require avoiding
wetlands totally , minimizing the impacts and mitigating the
w etlands so that would entail possibly creating a new wetland on
some other site .
Supv Schi.rg - the Town of Dryden has already contacted the Army '
Corp of Engineers .
J im Millard - with regard to the Fall Creek issue he has heard it
said that the Town of Dryden Zoning Ordinance is strong enough h to
prevent any damage to the creek . Considering to what has happened
to some of the wetlands on the Wilcox site plus all of the damage
that Mark Stevens has done to the hillside , he thought there were
definite gaps and loop holes in the zoning ordinance that leads
to some problems . There is a model erosion and sediment control
ordinance that would allow the town to control any site
preparation, that happens before a permit would have to be applied
four . The fees from this could also help hire another enforcement
o fficer . He has a model ordinance if the Town Board is interested
in looking at it .
a - reported that the Army Corp of Engineers has ascertained that
there are wetlands on the Wilcox Press site . Estimates from DEC
are that one quarter to one third of the 23 acre site are
wetlands . He thought this was an over site of the environmental
✓ eview and if it had been noticed it would have been recognized
that the Army Corp of Engineers should have been applied to for a
permit and this could have saved a lot of what has been going on
lately _ It would also lead to proper siting and make the building
probably cheaper to build and safer . He would like to ask the
D and to consider rescinding the negative declaration and reopen
environmental process when the Board gets to the regular part of
the meeting . He did sub2it a copy of a report to three of the
Board members that he did on the environment there .

Re : Concurrent closing of adjacent bridges
For the second consecutive summer both the bridge on Frieze Road and in Forest
Home ( Caidwell Road ) are closed at the same time( 7 /25 or before to present ) for routine
maintenance'. The Frieze Road bridge was closed first by the County on 7 /15 /59 and
then by the Town of Dryden ; and the Forest Nome Bridge was closed by the Town of Ithaca
according to Mr . William Mobbs.
The public inconvenience: and traffic cengenstion/safety hazards from concurrent
closing of adjacent bridges; for non-emergency work could and should be avoided. by coord-
ination between the municipalities involved .. Since the current employees responsible
for scheduling maintence work are unable/Unwilling to effect such coordination , I
request that the respective boards take action. tot

schedules: with other units to avoid concurrent adjacent bridge closings and /or road
closings•.

Please read this memorandum at the next meeting of your body .
Thank you for your attention to this request . Please inform me of the action

COMMITTEE REPORT
Firemen ' s pension
Clm Evans - thought that the Town should get the fire chiefs
together . Since the Town does have a single tr_'wnwide fire
district , we should get them to agree on a standardized
pension plan for all of the districts so that it was the
same . It would be appropriate to put it up for a referendum .
The decision was tabled for this year since there was not
time to be put on the ballot . They will try and get the
consensus from the different fire departments .
OLD BUSINESS

mentioned that August was not a good time for public input since

Clw Walbridge - they would prefer that the Town Board ran the
meeting . The Planning Board will be there and have all of the
proposed maps and information .
Supv Schug - said that he would be happy to run the meeting .
Town Board recessed for executive session .
