Hamilton Allport - there is very little test riding done in the
motorcycle business, because it is to risky from the owners
standpoint. His driveway is 300 feet long and there is little
need for a test track or a test ride. The only problem he would
see would be increased traffic in the driveway. He did not think
the noise aspect would be a problem.
Harold Simons - wanted to know the hours he was proposing to be
there.

To the attention of The Town Supervisor and Zoning Officer;
We are requesting that this letter be read at the PUBLIC HEARING to bo held March Bth at 7:30 p,m, at The
'Gown Hall, Drydeti, New York in reference to the application of HaMilton A.11port DBA Univet'sity Cycles,
We are VERY DISTURBED at the prospect of a mototoyele sales acid service business being located at 802

Hamilton Al l p� art - the hours •f operation at this paint he was
not sure of.
? ? ?? - tenant at 17 Garde Farm Rd. She is a motorcycle enthusiast,
but it has been her experience that motorcycle repair shops do
become social clubs and hangouts. Her concern is that getting the
motorcycles to the repair shop they are going to have to be
driven to and from the repair shop. Game Farm Read is a
motorcyclist dream. When they moved to Ithaca and looked for a
place with peace and quiet they said Game Farm Read will be great
for motorcycles. Repaired bikes will go for a test ride and Game
Farm Road is exactly where she would go. All of the people that
live can Game Farm Road are either elderly people or post graduate
students. There is a large number of heavy farm machinery that
use that read can a regular basis. This is a very narrow road, and
there are deer, and a bird sanctuary there. Should Garde Farm Road
become a test road for motorcycles they would riot continue to
live there any more.
Hamilton A 1 1 part - any contribution of his endeavor made to the
noise will be a drop in the bucket to the noise that is there

this is riot a noise issue, motorcycles are hard to see,
motorcycles rcycles are practically invisible to all drivers. Safety is
her concern ri ot the noise,

Hamilton Al 1 part - does not see the safety issues as pertinent on
her part, but respects her opinion.
G 1 m Roberts - wanted to know if this was just f o r motorcycles and
not for any ether vehicles. Also, the number of customers per
day.
Hamilton A l l part - yes, it Would only be for motorcycles. He
would guess about 25 customers on a good day.
Harold Simons- wanted to knew if there would be motorcycle
rallies held there.
Hamilton Allport - no, he has not considered this and does not
foresee it.
Supv Schug - this could be a condition in the permit if it is
granted, that there will riot be any rallies held or started from
there.
? ? ? ?? - this business you plan or, operating at 802 Dryden Rd. is
a lot different than the business you are operating now from your
home. You are planning to advertise, have a sign and expand?

Erica Evans - anything new like this, we should think about
adding to what already is there. If we can keep a good balance
for safety then we should move in that direction.
Supv Schun - you are asking the board to dog something they have
no control over. It is a state highway in front of this proposed

• ATTORNEY
Atty Perkins - West Dryden Community Center - a proposal was
received by the town from Crawford R Stearns architect. The
proposal was accepted in connection with applying for
environmental quality act funds and utilizing these funds for
certain stabilization and restoration i� �n � �f the West Dryden
Community Center. The town has been negotiating the form of the
contract for a few weeks. The form of the contract is in
satisfactory wry f� arm. However, because � �f the proposal sal � �f Mr.
Stearns there are a couple of areas which you need to make some
decisions. One has to do with sub surface coedit il: ins. The
architect in his agreement specifically disclaims any
responsibility for any unforeseen sub surface conditions ions that
might be present at the site. His concern is since part of the
problem has already been identified is if there has been a
failure of any footers or lack thereof that part of the funds or
a substantial' amolint of the funds are going t• � be used to remove
stone, PO Ur footers and rebuild the foundation. The architect is
saying don't t c• Mme back t• i him if we find that we can't do this
because the sub soil conditions will not permit that kind of load
bearing constrUctic_in. The architect has requested the town engage
a drilling company to do some sub surface testing around the
foundation � if the building to determine what the soil conditions
area Atty Perkins felt this is something the town board co=uld
take a chance on.
• Clm C. Hatfield - that building was put up 100 years ago on
poured footers, he can't see putting money into drilling t• � see
what the gr%OL(nd is. The rest of the beard agreed.
Atty Perkins - the Wither issue is the hazardous materials
testing. The architect has used the limit of the law in requiring
the town agree to � indemnify and hold hire harmless from any claims
by any person including the costs of defending such claim arising
out of claimed exposure to or deleterious health effect from
asbestos, toxic materials or waste in any of its various forms as
defined by the environmental protection agency in connection with
the work performed as part of the owners program.
Atty Perkins - this is an area which is great form litigation.
Every owner has an obligation to provide a safe work place. If
there is a claimed exposure or an injury to something like this,
the owner is the one responsible. The architect is stating that
if there is asbestos there and it gets disturbed during this
program and someone claims ex pos ure, the architect will not be
responsible but the town will be. There is a provision in the
general o b 1 i gat i ons law which states no architect can insulate
himself from liability with respect to his plans or his drawings.
There is also the issue of lead paint and its removal. This
should also be a concern.
•
'./lo
i
3�
TB3 -8 -94 Page 7
• Atty Perkins - felt a limited environmental analysis should be
done with respect to:, those areas which are going to be disturbed
as part of the project. If there is no problem then it would be
;just the usual precautions that have to be written into any
contract. If there are any hazardous materials found the town
would be back to square one as to what you can do with the
pro j ect .

ZONING OFFICER
Monthly report - given to board members
Supv Schug - Cayuga Partners permit application fees. These are
storage sheds that have no � water or power t• � them so Z.O. Slater
suggested these buildings be treated as miscellaneous �
construction rather than general construction. The fee would be
about $1,500.00 instead of $6,000.00 and wanted to � make the board
members aware of this. The board members saw no problem with
this. !

CORRESPONDENCE

DISCUSSION
Temp. Co. organization meeting statement
Clm Roberts - felt it would be a good idea for the county beard
to have a rural affairs committee.
Clm Roberts - Mr. Stein stated that he wanted to control further
cutbacks as any additional cutbacks would be counter productive.
He feels any further tax increases would also be Counter
productive.
Fire R EMS funding - discussion
Co. Rep. Evans - he did not have a good answer, but that is the
danger of across the board cut. Across the board cut was slightly
over 4 per cent. He is confused as to why his budget was cut 10
per cent.
Supv Schug - Jack Miller is saying the same as the school board,
if you are not going t� � pass the budget we will Cut Out the
things that are needed instead of cutting back on the
• administrators.
Co. Rep. Evans - it is going to be where the priorities go. What
you want to:, pay for and what you don't want t� � pay for. Are you
willing to pay higher taxes for what you want.
Supv Schug - this town board has a l ot of respect for what they
do, but we also have a hand on what they do and make them
responsible.
Supv Schug - he doesn't mind supporting the firemen and sending a
resolution to the county to say we should fund this. His question
is has anyone looked at the department to see what Jack. Miller is
doing.
Co.
Rep.
Evans -
the
health and safety
issue is a lot more
critical
dispatchers, and one vehicle.
than a
lot
of others. Unless
the county can get their
act
together
and
look.
k. at the total budget
it will continue to be
the
same
as you
are
seeing here.
Dave Putnam
- Jack Miller's office consists
of
himself, a
secretary,
c
dispatchers, and one vehicle.
They
do not have a lot
of programs
and they occupy a space in the
central
fire station
in the city.

Supv Schug - asked the board if they wanted to write a letter to
the county which enforces their concerns that the maintenance of

be _ieaoardized by an across of the beard cut, if in fact this is
what is hapoeninq.
The Town Board decided to have Atty Perkins draft a resolution to
