JULY 24 , 1990
S upv Schug - read the notice that was published in the newspaper
t o consider the application of Amos Brown Jr to opera and operate
an auto salvage yard at 129 Bone Plain Rd . ( copy of notice in
minute book )
Q UESTIONS AND / OR COMMENTS
L etter from Gilman Dedrick opposing this special permit ( copy of
letter in minute book )
Amos Brown Jr - wanted a place locally where people could get car
parts and a place for people to have there junk cars taken since
there is a town ordinance against unlicensed cars
C l rn Corrigan -- wanted to know how many cars would be located
there at any given time , and where would they be located on the
. property .
Ames Brown Jr - he would estimate about 200 cars , and they would
be located down in the back of the property because he has now
put in a road so you can get there and it would be behind a
fence .
4 Clrn Walbridge - in a letter to the town beard you state that the
improvements that you would like to make in the future would be
to have the road paved , a shed for parts and a fenced in area
away from the pad . You will be able to use the back fields as
soon as you get a read there and develop an area for the crusher .
What are you going to do right now if we gave you a permit to
access the back fields and you can ' t go down into the lower
f ields without a road .
Amos Brown Jr - he has put $ 800 . 00 worth of stone there now for a
road and he has installed 280 feet of fencing . He has to generate
some cash before he can do some of these things . If he gets the
permit he plans on having a building to stare car parts in for
resale .
B ertha Deberardinis - the pad for the crusher is the first thing
that has to be done and the building would be the last thing to
consider . They are working on the road and they have a permit for
a trailer to stare the parts . There will be a fence around the
area so that you can put cars there that they tow in from the
h ighway . There has to be a separate space for the dismantled cars
and a separate place for cars that are towed off the road until
they receive the title to the car .
® Steve Eaton , 121 Bone Plain Rd - was opposed to this application
because of increase in traffic , property value will go down ,
t here are a lot of small children in the area and where this
property is located i s very wet .

li Ames Brown Jr . - he lives on the West Dryden Rd and if the
business is done properly , a business will be more valuable then
your house what you live i n . I f he can get a $ 200 , 000 . 00 business
n ext door he did not think that would decrease his property
✓ alue .
B ertha Deberardinis - is an accountant and a bookkeeper and she
takes care of 9 different junk yards . If it is done suffic.iently
and right the property in the area has increased and not
d ecreased . You might call it a junk yard but you can ' t see
anything because everything is behind a fence . No individual can
w alk on the property and go behind the fence because it is
totally secure . There will be lights there to make sure no one is
o ut there at night . As far as down back it is private property
and is pasted so that no one should be on the property .
Amos Brown Jr -- there were close to 200 cars down in back and no
o ne knew they were there .
G erry Freelove , 362 Bone Plain Rd - when you drive by all you
could see were the cars that were up front and this was due to
mother nature with all of the rain and all of the cars that were
there was because they were cleaning up West Dryden .
Clm Corrigan - there will be mother nature next year and in the
application it states that there will be no storage of vehicles
o utside of the fence for any prolonged periods of time . The only
t ime they could foresee the drop of vehicles on the outside of
t he fence would be by the public to dispose of or by the weather
w hich would stop them from going into their back field .
B ertha Deberardinis - this is what they are working on now by
going in with the bulldozer and fixing it . At the time of the
proposal we could not write it up and say that they had it done ,
but they are working on the roads .
Clm Corrigan - was interested in what prolonged met , a couple of
d ays a week ?
B ertha Deberardinis - if they closed on Sunday and someone drops
a car off without their permission , Monday the car would be
behind the fence . Everything has to have permission to be dropped
there . They can not have a car on the lot unless they have the
paperwork to go with it because there are stiff penalties and
f ines if they do . They plan to run the business from 8AM to 8PM
which would be feasible for a junk yard since racist of the
individuals work until 5PM . The only thing that would be in the
back lot would be the shells of * the cars , things that the crusher
would take . The parts would all be in a locked shed . They can not
start any proposals with the bank until they get a building
r. permit .
t

TB7 -- 24 - 9C' page 3
They plan on a building of 150 ' by 2O0 ' so there will be office
space available and storage space for the car parts . There should
be no reason why anything should be setting outside of the fence
u nless they went for a dealers license and then, there would only
be a few cars on the outside . Those carts would not be considered
as junk .
? ? ? ? - he owns property next door and is opposed to this
application , because there will be an increase of traffic on the
✓ oad .
B ob Putney , 120 'Pone Plain Rd . he plans on selling his place in
a year or two and he does not want someone to have a junk yard
across the road especially what happened a few months age and
there is nothing to say that it will be that way again . There is
a junk yard that the town his given a permit to and that is where
it should be , why do you need another one . This is only going to
create more traffic and more hazard with being in and out of
there night and day , and light shinning in his house .
Amos Drown Jr - who ever is in there at night he does not know
and wished that the neighbors wvi_ii.rld call him if they did not want
to call the law .
B ertha De berard i n i s - there will be security there and locked so
that no one can get I_If the property and there will also be a
guard dog .
E ugene Madsen , E: 89 Bone Plain Rd - he felt that the first issue
is whether, or rot it is appropriate , regardless of how it is
implemented . If it is which he doubts because it is a detriment
to the neighborhood , traffic , noise , and speeding cars . He
thought there were plenty of facilities in the county or nearby
so that it is not going to be a benefit at all to the nearby
n eighborhood but a detriment . If this application is approved
w ill it he implemented properly . Based on the history of this
site during the last year or two there is no environmental
✓ eason to believe what they have put down on paper seems logical
and feasible that it will be implemented properly .
Amos Brown Jr -° the State has been to this property site and they
have found nothing wrong _
Ralph Shoemaker , 140 Boone Plain Rd - lives across the road from
this proposed site . He was not sure if it was on record or net ,
but his mother had passed a petition in the past against three
d ifferent attempts to establish a junk yard . He agrees with Mr .
P utney and Mr . Madsen that the junk yard has not been run
property and he sees their concern because the business was ran
all hours of the day and night as that you can ' t get any steep .
This has been going on ; i nee back in the 70 ' s . The people in the
area do not want this junk yard them , John hainipar was given
permission to run a ,junk. yard .

Dear Mr . Slater : •
'dank you for your notice of a Public Hearing regarding a special permit for
an auto salvage yard at 129 Bone Plain Rd . , Freeville . Unfortunately , 'I
will not be able to travel from Minnesota to New York State on that date . It
is my hope that you will read the following into the record of the hearing
for me .
For the past 35 years in my work position I have traveled to every state in
the Union , every province in Canada , plus most of Mexico . I believe I can
state without hesitation that in all those years I have never seen an auto
Q salvage yard anywhere that has added anything of value to the local environ -
ment or land values that are near such a site . Without question their record
o f destroying their values remains firmly intact .
Despite the highway beautification laws stimulated by Lady Bird Johnson in
the late 1960 and 1970 ' s , despite the laws put on the books by the environ -
mental groups of the 1980 ' s , auto salvage yards remain a curse upon the land .
To allow an auto salvage yard to be placed in possibly one of the last great
✓ aw land sites of the township , in an area of placid rural living and solitude ,
in an area of excellent ground water and established wi. ld life habitat , is
totally unj ustified .
Furthermore , in the light of recent government budget cuts I: place no great
faith . in a once per year inspection of these auto salvage sites by state or
local regulators ever accomplishes the role of protector of the public in -
t erest . Most specially after all sorts of gas , oil and other flelid emissions
from junk cars leak into the • soil .
It is almost as if an anti -environmental vender a is being carried out against
t he hard working people of Wrest Dryden , first the dump and now the auto sal -
vage yard .
[ ur e the township not to allow the special permit .
Cor ially your - j i 4

® Amos Brown Jr . a Ray Dennis did run a junk yard back in the 60 ' s
and he is talking about having in done in a legal way and run it
as a business with the cooperation from all of the neighbors . He
is not trying to make your houses worse . As long as Ray Dennis
can prove that he was in business before 1968 the State can give
h im a license .
Bertha Deberardinis - that is true and Ray Dennis did have a junk
yard there and was practicing it .
Robert Deberardinis - all we are asking for is something that is
n eeded in the town . You don ' t like j .ink cars on the lawn and if
they are put behind the fence you can not see them . This is all
we are asking for is to keep it clean and run it correctly .
D ave Christie , 227 Bone Plain Rd - would like to go on record as
being opposed to this junk yard application because it is a rural
✓ esidential area there . Also based on the history of the way it
has been run previously and the site itself is wet and they admit
that it is wet . He could not believe that they could put gravel
o ut there fo_or, 200 cars and be able to get at them . They did not
comply with the time limit of getting the cars out even after
t hey made a verbal deal . The fact that we had to take extra
measures to get it cleaned up and they didn ' t meet the deadline
they said they were going to meet regardless of the weather .
® Based on the application they admit cars will be " temporarily "
stored in front of the fence until they get title to them and a
w ay to get rid of the parts . Temporarily t irne frame that they
h ave seen is 6 months , or 3 months with oil , hydraulic fluid and
radiator fluid dripping and is just a mess . They do not want to
see it there . Andy Moerlein has been to the board meetings before
and it totally against it . They were dragging the cars in there
all hours of the day and night and you would find pieces of tail
pipes , fenders , bumpers etc along the side of the road or in the
d itch . It is a dirty and noisy offensive operation and the people
t hat 1 ive along that read do not want it . They have not wanted it
for as long as it has gone on illegally and they do not want it
now to be cloaked in some wooden stockade fence . He has had no
problem with getting other people to provide this type of
service .
E rica Evans , 49 Turkey Hill Rd - even though she does not live on
B one Plain Rd she is very opposed to have an auto salvage yard in
the Town of Dryden . She is also wondering if it was against the
zoning rule and Henry made a deal for this man to tow cars to
this place to be crushed , what gave him the authority .
Supv Schug - this has been covered at a previous meeting and the
cars are out of there although l at e . He was served notice that he
would have to pay fines if he did not get it done , but he should
have had a permit to do it .
3 ■
TB7 - 24 - 90 page
Sharon Buechel , 88 Bore Plain Rd - • gave the board members
pictures that she had taken in March to show them the condition
o f the property . Her family is apposed to this application
because of the noise , traffic , junk cars in the yard and in the
road , tow trucks bringing cars in all hours of the day and night ,
and excessive speed . This is not going to help the neighborhood
and when the crusher was there it was very noisy and they do not
w ant to have to deal with this .
Amos Brown Jr . - he would 1 ike to continue picking up cars in the
Town of Dryden free of charge . His yard is filled with cars and
h e would like to get them out of there . He agrees with everyone
h ere because he doesn ' t like his door yard looking like a junk
yard and he doesn ' t want to do anything to damage these residents
property . If something did fall off the cars they were towing
they went back and picked it up . He can not invest any more of
h is money unless he can get a permit to run a legitimate
business .
S upv Schug - wanted to know who awns the property and who lives
in the house ?
Ray Dennis - he awns the house , but does not live there . His son
is staying there at the present time . He would be leasing the
(�
property to Amos Brown Jr .
`- Supv Schug - you would be leasing the property and not living
there to maintain the hours of operation . There is no one on the
site to keep track of what is going on there ?
Amos Brown Jr - no there is not .
S upv Schug - in other words it is an absentee landlord .
B ertha Deberardinis - not once they are licensed . The cars there
n ow belong to Ray Dennis and then people brought cars in from the
Town of Dryden who wanted to get rid of them . Amos plans on
building an office there and maintaining it from 8AM to 8PM and
there will always be someone on the premises . More than likely
they will have a guard dog down in back , and they are vicious and
they are trained so that they do not leave the premises .
S upv Schug - you have a fence in the front , but will there be a
f ence in the back to keep the children out
Bertha Deberardinis - no , there is a lot of natural buck growth .
? ? ? ? - there is a half mile of swamp and the next road over is
West Dryden Rd .
® 27 2 ? .. . wanted to know who was going to monitor this operation and
w hat is the Board ' s position on this . Are you just going to give
them a permit .
TB7 - E4 - 90 page 6
Bertha Deberardinis - not only do the neighbors monitor the
o peration but New Y - rk. State does .
Clrra Walbridge - assumed that both Henry and Clint would monitor
as to what is going along the side of the road . If the Board does
grant a permit and it i5 not followed was sure that Henry would
check on that also . Normally when special permits are given there
u sually are hours specified .
Supv Schug - if Mr . Brown Jr . doer, receive the permit he hopes
that there is a tremendous amount of work in reading the
nr° dinance that has to be followed . It is not just the matter; of
bringing in a car and crushing it . There is a lot of control , oil
has to be drained and handled by EPA standards , transmission
fluid # batteries , tires .
Amos Brown Jr . - he has been in business with his brother and
father who own a junk yard in Schuyler County . DEC is checking on
h ire and the State person was there at his place this week .
Bertha Deberardinis -- there are two sets of fences that have to
be put up . One for storage for vehicles that are being towed that
would not belong to Mr . Brown and are not going to be titled over
to him , this would be behind the existing fence . Behind the
second fierce there w i l l be a concrete pad with a drum in the
ground for any oil drainage where the cars will be placed on this
pad and stripped , Nothing will be seen on the outside of the
fence other than the soles areal which is a storage building at
this point . They pl an on building a $ 20 , 000 or $ 30 , 000 building
once they get their permit to put the parts and material in and
office space . There will be no junk cars sitting in the front
part of the yard .
? ? ? ? -- wanted to know if there would be a big sign out front and
lights ?
Bertha Deberardinis - the town has to approve of the size sign
they can have .
ArrlQS Brown Jr . -° some people are against yard lights , but
personally he wants to know what tr he is shooting at and be able t o
see what is out in the yard . Some people ':' n the Bone Plain Rd are
o pposed to yard ' lights .
Robert Deberardinis - are far as the lighting goes , they are not
trying to have a business that will not let people sleep , they
are trying to make a living , To make a living you have to have
your customer base happy . If you can not kRep the neighbors happy
you will tell their customer base not to come to them , Sc
d efinitely if the light is shinning near your bedroom and you ask
us to change the direction of the light they will be more than
h appy to . This is the purpose of the public hearing to make
e veryone happy and to make it legal . We can see that it was done
improperly in the past .
L(
Tw7 - 4 - s .:' page 7
Ralph Shoemaker - he wants to go on record as being opposed
because it is a rural road and the road is not big enough to
handle the flux of traffic that is griming to be on it and there
are a lot of children in the area . Also in that area of 140 Bone
P lain Rd there is quick sand and a lot of swampy area and he
strongly feels this will get into the Nater table .
D ave Christie - the idea that it is going to be a little oil is
✓ eally misleading . If y ';' u figure that every car that comes in
there is going to have between 4 and S qts of oil , 40 to 34
gallons of ga ! 4 1 gallon of transmission fluid and engine
coolant , You airi air now talking about things that the present
landfill will not take , and technically classified as hazardous
w aste . We are going to basically trust someone who has been a
f lagrant v i o l at er of the town ordinance and every other ordinance
✓ elated to the disposition of these cars to take pant care of
that waste . teased on what has gone on in the past he is not going
to . You can put up a fence } but the fact is most of those cars
are going to leak oil , gas and transmission fluid in the process
o f being taken apart . It is very easy to ignore the fact that you
have to collect that fluid and it goes into the ground . As a
n earby resident there are other opportunities and possibilities
f or people to deal with their ,junk cars , we do not need a place
like that in West Dryden .
Robert Deberard i n i s -.- that is one reason why the State asks for a
title to every car to keep track of the volume of fluids . DEE
knows on an average how much fluid is in a car and that is why
they come and oversee the operation every so often _
Dave Christie - once you hare permitted a place like that
✓ iolations can go an and on before the thing is ever, stopped .
B ertha Deberardiais - they hare to compky with all of the state
✓ egulations all through the year .
S haron Buechel °- regarding the fluid question , she dial not care
h ow many times you came to check. , it only takes are time for it
to get into the ground water and water table and at that time it
is to late . She did not want to take that chance because she has
to live there .
E ugene Madsen - the question is should there be another wrecking
o peration on West Dryden Rd and is it going to help the Town of
U rydea and the reeidenta in that area or is it going to be a
d etriment . Most of the residents in the room feel that it is not
going to be beneficial .
E rica Evans - as a resident of the Town of Dryden she thought
that you should use the caning law better to bring in better;
business is not junk yards ,

7 . 0 . Slater - DEC , 19' rny Corp of Engineers and Tompkins County
P lanning Dept have been presented with this proposal and they
h ave been giv sn 30 days to respond to the T 'o' wn of Dryden and they
h ave not responded at this time . The deadline does not end until
August 12th .
S upv SchLtg - then the Uoard can not take any action until after
Aug 12th and the other agencies have responded .
• ftty Perkins -° you are talking about the SEOR and other involved
agencies agenciecr, so no determination has been made about who is going to
be the Lead Agency and the Board can ' t make a determination on
the special permit until they have reviewed the SEOR application
P art I and Part II of the CCU' .
Robert bebevard i r i s - wanted to know if there was a copy of a
,junk yard ordinance and where they are allowed .
At t y Perkins - the purpose of this hearing is to act on the
application for a special permit . This is an allowed use with a
special permit and a special permit can only be granted after a
public hearing . After the Town Board makes certain determinations
as set forth in Article 13 of the town zoning ordinance . Before
the Town can make those determinations it must complete the
e nvironmental assessment review . Mince there are other involved
agencies there will be no coordinated review until the Lead
Agency has been determined . The Town Board can qa ahead and for
your own purpose have uncoordinated review and you can review the
S hirt form that you have and the applicant would be at the mercy
o f going though another 88118 review with another involved
agency . This decision is up the the board members , and it will
n ot be a coordinated review . The board determination will not be
binding upon any other involved agency . As of right now there is
n o Lead Agency . If DEC decides to do another review this review
conducted by this board will not be binding on anyone else .
Robert Deberard i n i s -'- assuming all of the agencies review come
hack in the positive , what criteria as her as the Town of Dryden
is concerned would keep you from issuing the permit .
e tt2 Perkins -- first of all you will have to go over the
e nvironmental review Part I and hart II of the hhF . The board has
to decide whether or not they are going to do that aari their own
tonight and not have coordinated review and input from other
involved agencies or whether they are going to wait and determine
who is going to be the Lead Agency and then have coordinated
✓ eview . Once the environmental form has been completed and
approved the decision has to be made whether or not an
environmental impact statement has to be prepared . 1 f this is not
to be prepared and there is determination ion that there is no
• significant env i ronment a l impact then the board can approach the
question of the Article 13 special permit refuireeentt but this
can4 t be done until the environmental review has been completed _

Richard Free l ove , 362 Bone Plain Rd - there his been a junk yard
there for 25 years . All these people that are complaining are
people who have moved there in the last few years . They knew
there was a junk yard there when they bought the property and new
they start complaining . As far as the traffic on the road there
is no more traffic on that road as when the dump was located
there . HE does not understand why this man can not get a license
and get it over with . Hu ha % been trying to get a license for E
years that he knows of and now the man is trying to improve the
property and get a license and 10 people come and complain about
it and the 2, 00 people that towed the cars in there ( that is 300
cars that are not in the Town of Dryden anymore ) are not here .
There must be ; bb people out there that want a junk yard because
they called the man to come and pick them up . Where are they
tonight , he d ':' es not understand it you have 10 people here
tonight complaining that they do not want a junk yaard . but there
are 300 people who called hire to spick the cars up free of charge
• to have them toed away . He is licensed by DEC and the State of
N ew York , by the federal , by the taxes , by the income taxes , land
and school taxes . If they put $ 100 , 000 . 00 worth of property on
there y '_" u have to tax them for $ 100 , 000 . 00 right now the taxes
are small . Right now these people here are not even being taxed
w hat he is being taxed . If they are worried about their property
✓ alue going down , there was a junk yard there with 300 car' s when
he received a notice in the mail that his taxes went up 3 times
what they are worth . So the junk yard will not effect them . eiVr
h im the license and get it over with and then you can control
h im . If the Bien dives do what you require him to do than you can
✓ evoke it . He does not know why it is so hard for a man to get a
license to make a living .
Closed public hearing
The Town Board went over the EAT' form .
Cla Walbridge .Y questioned A Site Description - # k total acreage
of project area hb acres and then approximate acreage of meadow
o r brush land is all 20 acres . She has listened to people talk
about what sounds like wetlands and what sounds like forest . She
w ould like that clarified .
Ray Dennis - there is a lot of buck brush down in the back and
they plan on clearing it away as they go . They have put the reads
in and the knoll in on the hill . They have some other land they
plan to clear . They are not going to do anything with the forest
and was not sure how many acres that would be .
Bertha beberardinia - thene will not be any forest in the leased
land _
127 ;7
T87 -° 24 -90 page 10
upv Schug - wanted to know if the 20 acres of land was going to
be leased according to the map there is only 23 acres .
Ray Dennis - when he put the 20 acres in he did not include the
forest and Amos understood that .
C i m Walbridge - so you will l lease 20 acres and no forest .
B ertha Deberardinis - there is no lease at this tune , it will be
based on what property is going to be allowed to be used .
Clrn Walbridge - the board is going to have a hard time approving
the environmental form because is states acreage and what the
acreage consists of , You are going to have to let us know whether
the land you intend to lease to him has the forest in it or not ,
soy that it can be filled out accurately .
B ertha Deberardinis - when they filled the form out they went to
t he court house with Mr . Dennis and later got the . sop of the
d imensions of the property . They were under the assumption that
t here was more property when this form was filled out and they
were going to lease 20 acres . The fore had already been seat to
the hoard members and they did not change the 20 acres . He is not
leasing the 20 acres because there is a house that ' belongs on the
property and 4 acres that will not be included in the lease .
kitty Perkins -- how many acres is the project site ?
B ertha Deberardinis - she thcoutht about 10 or 11 acres . She has
been down in back and it is no 20 acres to be used .
h im Walbridge - - is Mr . Brown going to have 20 acres of which he
psee 10 acres or is he ,just going to have if acres ?
Bertha Deberardinis - she would any Mr . Brown would be leasing
• approximately 11 acres .
P ie Walbridge - is there any forest in that 11 acres based or
w hat was mentioned of being a very wet nature
B ertha Deberardinis dinie - it is buck growth and not forest .
Ray Dennis -° where he has kept the cars he has always been able
to drive to all the time except when they came in with the big
machine and got stuck .
B ertha Deberardinis - they plan on putting in more trees and
shrubs on the property _
Clm Walbridge °- question # 3 what is predominant soil type on
project sine ? a ) soil drainage .'. wanted to know how much of the
land was wet ? The questions is answered 100 h well drained and
she finds that hard to believe since you can ' t get the cars out
o f there when it rains . She does not think that it is well
drained .
3e
TB7 - 4-- 9Q page 11
Bertha Deberardinis - it is all on a knoll, that would be used .
CLri Walbridge °- you will have to look at the soil types before
q uestion 43 can be answered , Everyone has stated that a lot of
cars can not get out of there when it rains hard so that does not
come under her definition of well drained if you can ' t move
things out of there .
B ertha Deberardinis - prior to Amos Brown putting a road in there
you could not get in and out of there .
Clm Walbridge - what she is saying is that the site is not 100%
w ell drained and if you say it is she wants soil maps to prove to
her that it is well drained . It sounds like e certain amount of
the lard is poorly drained , a certain amount is moderately
d rained and maybe some of it is wall drained and that is not what
she has been hearing .
Bertha Deberardinis - when she was filling out the fin m she
answered it as to where the cars would be located r_on the
property .
Clm Walbridge - it is the whole site that he is going to be
leasing . If you have any wetlands there , and certain plant types
there then it would be considered a small wetland .
The board changed the answer to question 42 to 11 acres and they
are going to need a better answer for question # 3 before they can
make a decision .
S upv Schug - the entire 11 acres is meadow and brush
B ertha Deberardinis - it was , but now it is roadways .
C 'lnr Walbridge - # 2 road , buildings and other paved surfaces . A
gravel road isn ' t considered paved . You obviously have some roads
o n the property y and you need to tell us how much in terms of
acreage which is not answered .
Atty Perkins - they need to complete this form with better
information .
Clm Wa 1 br^ i d ge - question * 5 - approximate percentage of proposed
project site with slopes . YOU answered !O % is 15 % or greater , is
this in the old 20 acres or is it in the 11 acres ?
B ertha Deberardinis - it is in the 11 acres .
Clm Walbridge -° so how much is 0 to 10g and how much is 10 to
15 % ?
Supv Schuq - for make a proper determination the gentleman who
o wns the . property nd the gentleman who is going to lease the
137

TB7- • 4 - 'O page 12
property should have a better sketch of the property that is
going to be used b ecause it looks like you are going to lease all
o f the 23 acres . If there is only going to be 11 acres used it
o hould be surveyed so the person who is going to lease the land
will know where the property is located to be used and the owner
will know the property that is not going to be used .
Bertha Deb ' ardinis - this is something that Amos is intending to
d o . There is no reason to have it .. surveyed before he nets the
permit _
fit t y Perkins I. in order to properly present your application you
can not skip any step , you have to do it correctly .
L ertha Deberardinis -- Ames does want to have it surveyed because
he wants to eventually purchase the property . •
Clm Walbridge - the board needs to know where the 11 acres are
located on the 23 acre parcel .
Atty Perkins - even if it is not a survey it should at least be a
sketch to scale which would be required on the construction
permit .
Clm Walbridge - question # 9 is site located over a primary ,
principal , or sole source aquifer ? In West Dryden due to the DR7
there has been Sciffle inclination that there has been an aquifer
there .
S upv Sch '.tg asked the neighbors if the water table was 8 to 10
feet .

house is always wet _
Ray Dennis , he has never had to use a sump pump and his cellar
is b feet deep .
Clm Walbridge - he should check with the DR7 people because there
has been a lot of talk regarding the aquifer .

contain any species of plant or animal life that is identified as
threatened or endangered ? Also quest ion # I2 arm there any unique
o r unusual land forms on the project site ? ( i . e . cliffs , dunes /
o ther geological formations )
TB I -- 24 - SO page 1. 3
Supv Schug - if the answer is no to question # 11 there should be
a persons name there with some credentials .
Supv Schug - question # 13 is the project site presently used by
the community or neighborhood as an open space or recreation
area ?
B ertha Deberardinis -- it is only used for the .junk cars the
answer would be no ,
Clni Walbridge - does the present site include scenic views known
to be important t o the community ? Answer is no
Clni Walbridge - question # 15 streams within or contiguous to
project area ? Does the wetland go to a tributary into a stream ?

be M i l l Creek ,
Clrn Walbridge - question 015 lakes , ponds , wetland areas within
o r contiguous to project area . You need to find out whet kind of
w etland area the neighbors are talking about .
Ralph Shoemaker - has lived in the area for 4 years and there
h asn ' t been a time when they have had a heavy rain that their
sral1ar has not been flooded and the area around there is full of
swamps .
Clm Walbridge - we need to have information regarding the wetland
area . Question # 17 is the site served by existing public
u tilities ? You have answered yes .

first took it they assumed these was a little more property and
there were utilities . The utilities lines are there and they
intend to get service .

district certified pursuant to hg ec Markets Law , Article 25 -AR ,
S ection 343 and 304 ? You have answered no . in the site located

o ut since there has been cars there for 20 years , and are they
considered hazardous waste .
Ray Dennis - he has never poured oil on the ground if that is
what you are talking about , but there has been cars there for
• years .
B ertha Debera, rdinis - DEC checks on that to make sure there is no
leakage or spillage because it all has to be accounted for .

none but you state that you will be taking down brush .
B ertha Deberar"dinis - the only thing will be brush and
overgrowth .

a commercial building and a pad for the cars to be stripped and
w anted to know how it could be made accurate .
$4tty Perkins - you would have to answer the questions the best
way ya '.t can and the best ,judgement based an the knowledge that
you have at the present time .
Robert Deberardinis - at the present time they don ' t need to
construct anything .

CITIZEN PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR
J im Willard - wanted the board aware of some potential problems
w ith drainage from the Wilcox Press site . He got the rainfall
f igures from Correll for Aug 13th and it was a peak rainfall of
. 55 inches and a total rainfall of 1 . 05 inches over a 24 hour
period . This does not come near a 1 year rain storm which is a
peak rainfall of 1 . 9 inches of rain per hour . The water was
✓ ushing out the culvert under the railroad bed and went up onto
the road and this was just a fairly mild thunder storm . The
✓ esidents there are concerned about this and what is going to
h appen when they get a real storm . He did not knew how far on the
✓ oad it got because he was not home at the time and no one else
dared to go up on the railroad bed .
B eth Herron -- gave the board members pictures she had taken of
the flooding . ( pictures in minute book ) . She has lived at 3 Hall
O Woods Rd for 5 years and she has never seen the water flowing
like this before .
