Supv Schug - called the public hearing to order at 7:45PM
Supv Schug - read the notice that was published in the newspaper
concerning the application of Bruno & Cathleen Schickel. (copy in

for the ZBOA instead of the Town Board. Therefore, Mr. Schickel
can put off the project or move forward with the hearing. Mr.
Schickel has agreed to have the hearing and has signed off if
there are any problems with this he will not hold the town
responsible.
QUESTIONS AND /OR COMMENTS
Bruno Schickel - I have an 11,000 sq ft barn and would like to be
able to use that for storage of automobiles, motor homes, boats,
etc. The barn is built in such a way to allow for this with
minimal amount of reconstruction or modification. Their
intention is to do some work on fixing up the outside and rent
out storage space. I understand this is an allowable use by a
special permit.
Clm Roberts - wanted to know if this was a one story barn.
Bruno Schickel - there is the ground floor and a hayloft. The
® hayloft could not be used without extensive restructure. There is
one area 36' by 85' that can be used without any problems. If

Comments or concerns: There are several such former dairy barns around the

be well suited to this type of structure. Generally these barns are somewhat
remote from high density neighborhoods This structure and site are remote__
and well suited for this proposed use. To further assist you with your
review I have included a copy of the Dryden Town Zoning Ordinance Section
which includes the definition of "Commercial Garage ".

SPECIAL PERMIT APPLICATION
L Bruno and Cathleen Schickel
2. (see attached exhibit A)
210 Schutt Road, Dryden NY
3. The intention of the applicants is to adapt the interior of the existing barn for use as a
commercial vehicle storage garage and renovate the exterior in order to preserve the barn
facade. No exterior alterations will be required for off street parking, road cuts, etc.
4. (see attached exhibit B)
5. Sewage disposal and water supply facilities will not be required for this vehicle storage
garage.
69 The current use of premises adjacent to the existing barn is primarily agricultural.
7. The character of the neighborhood will be improved by the planned renovation of the
barn and related structures. At present the barn is in a state of neglect and disrepair.
Commercial garage storage is a passive business that does not create an increase in road traffic.
The operation of automobile and recreational vehicle storage within the barn can provide the
community with a viable alternative to other facilities while, at the same time, creating a
monetary basis for preserving the exterior of the structure as well as the character and history
of the area.
The proposed use for the barn as a commercial storage garage would have a low impact affect
on the interior space as to permit future use of the facility for agricultural purposes.
It is with this philosophy of caring for older buildings that three other structures in the Dryden
area have been restored.
* 3 E. Malloryville Rd. - Italianate / Greek Revival Home
1 6
* 931 Harford Slaterville Rd. - 1863 Schoolhouse
* 210 Schutt Rd. - Barn / Office
Letters of commendation for restoration /renovation from Historic Ithaca were awarded for all
three projects. (see exhibits C,D & E)
Agricultural buildings in Tompkins County have historical significance. With the reduction in
agricultural use for these buildings we, as a community, are faced with coming up with
alternative uses for these structures. .
Unless we find viable uses for these historical treasures they will continue to rapidly disappear
from our landscape. (see exhibit F)
0 8. (not applicable) Proposed use is allowable by special permit. .

incorporate office space into this older rural

which is particularly important given the,
diminishing number of barns in New York State.

Historic Ithaca. Inc.. has a. strong interest in maintaining and preserving the character
of the commi.initiaa of Tompkins County, and we are especially intArAateri in the
bi.aildings and structures that reflect oi)r heritage as an agricultural rommttnity The
reality is, however, that fewer and fewer of us make a living through farming and even
those farms still in buslnes.(; arp now organizPd in ways that make many of the fine old

would be

that stipulation.
Bruno
Schickel
- there
would

if that
was a
requirement.
Clm Baker - wanted to know the hours of operation and when would
be the peak times.
Bruno Schickel - could not answer that at this time. I feel it
will be day light hours. It is more of a seasonal type use.
Craig Schutt - was concerned with the driveway itself since it is
a blind driveway. There is no way to see them and there have been
accidents at that driveway in the past. I am concerned about
someone with a long boat or something and unfamiliar with the
road and blind spot.
Bruno Schickel - Craig was the former owner of the property and
there were all sorts of vehicles and farm wagons pulling in at a
much slower rate. I have looked at it and it isn't as blind as it
appears. It goes out about 150 feet and then drops down as you
are looking down the road. It drops off at a fairly slow taper. I
think you sort of have a feeling you don't have as much
visibility as you might think. I think it is good in some ways
• because it makes people tend to scoot out and not dilly dally
around at the intersection. As far as traffic is concerned,
clearly the type of thing we have in mind here will be a fraction
of the traffic a farm operation would have.
Craig Schutt - the fact is we understood the driveway, and that
I
s not to say we didn't have close calls. You get a stranger that
doesn't know the driveway with a long trailer who takes their
time coming out of there, somebody is going to be in trouble.

of making an
entrance at the top
of the

The road
is narrow and has been
improved so
people tend to drive
fast.
Bruno Schickel - there are two possibilities for adding an
additional entrance or exit. One would be the spot where Mr.
McGee is talking about. Right now there is a driveway on one side
of the house and this would require another driveway on the other
side of the house and I do not think this is advantageous. The
other spot would be to move the other driveway further up Schutt
Road where the road levels off and there is more visibility. If
the board deems this necessary, I would find that acceptable. For
the amount of traffic we are talking about, I question the
• necessity. There is no question it is a difficult spot and I
would have no problem with putting in another entrance. I would

objection to this project.

vote - all voting Yes
Co. Rep. Evans - reported on the county budget and they expect to
have a 0 tax increase. However, that is not the whole story since
® the county at the end of this year will have a $2.5 million
surplus, plus $1.6 million in roll over funds. The total infusion
of money from taxes into the county budget will add up to 6.7
percent. In my committee the largest item is $100,000.00 for
court ordered psychiatric examinations upon youth in the court.
This was paid by profits made in the mental health department
largely through enhanced medicaid payments which are being cut
out. Another item in his committee budget of $79,000.00 is to
replace 11 cars in the health department, all of which are 1987
or older. These cars have attempted to run over the last 5 years
since their budget has been cut. They are at a point now where
they have to be replaced because they are not reliable. As
additions were made to the budget over 3 percent was added over
the county administrators recommendations and as usual it came
out of roads and bridges. There is a major increase in funding
roads and bridges, but no where near what was requested.

® the bridges and roads brought up a little faster than they are
now. The budget committee did back some of the financial target
areas. They hope to rebuild the Comfort Road bridge in Danby next
year. Gave copies of bridges and locations in the Town of Dryden
to board members.
Co. Rep. Totman - Local Law amendment regarding solid waste law
passed in 1994 - in April the town board asked me to look into
the possibility of amending the local law. The county attorney
did report that the local law was stricter than the state law and
there were many reasons for it and felt there should be no
attempt to change the law. I talked with Tom Todd and he went to
the solid waste committee to discuss this situation. He felt the
solid waste committee did agree that part of this law should be
changed. The resolution that is going to be presented was drafted
by Atty Perkins and I am sure the committe will agree with it and
will be presented at the next board meeting.
CITIZEN PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR
Pam Stonebraker, SPCA - in 1994 they ended up with 500 plus extra
dogs. They were able to lower the euthanasia rate by 1 percent
and raised their adoption rate by 2 percent and redemption rate
stayed about the same. In 1995 through August they have seen the
adoption rate go up another 2 percent and redemption rate up 4
percent and euthanasia rate is down by 6 percent. This has been
• accomplished through marketing strategy. Also, they have a
community education program since 1994.

Supv Schug - there is the question of New York State putting a
$3.00 charge on any unneutered or unspayed dog and this money
goes to New York State.
Pam Stonebraker - that is correct beginning at the
end
of
January. This will go into a
spay and

to help
pay for
the spaying and neutering of
dogs and

from

• Supv Schug - the Town Clerk's Assoc. is thinking of putting
together a resolution opposing this. This is just another
collecting fee and sending it to Albany. If the Town Board passes
a resolution opposing this and sends this to our representatives
they and county board would you be prone to ask our state
legislatures the same thing, to get off the dog and cat peoples
back with this. It is just another way of putting a lot of funds
and hire 7 more people in Albany to keep track of the money and
none of it goes to spaying and neutering of animals.
Co. Rep. Evans - the SPCA reports to my committee so if the board
sends me a proposed resolution. We are meeting on Thursday so if
we can have the resolution by then we can act on it.
The town board and county board will continue working on this
additional license fee.
Pam Stonebreaker - gave the board members information regarding
cats in the Town of Dryden. Currently the SPCA has a contract
with the county to pay for cat control as well as cruelty
investigation. Out of the contract $18,000.00 pays for the cat
control portion. Our expenses for cat control is $36,000.00 so we
have been left for several years with a $18,000.00 deficit. This
is for stray cats only. Right now it covers 5 days of housing
which is required by the ag and markets law, vaccinations and
euthanization if necessary. If they are not redeemed by their
owner then the expense of keeping them longer than 5 days or any
adoption costs that may incur are covered by the SPCA humane
funds. This does not cover the cat costs that are turned in by
their owners. This is for only cats that are lost or stray. We
are looking for the Town of Dryden to consider partially funding
cat control for the portion your citizens are using. We are
looking to allocate fairly the remainder of the expense we have
for this service. The SPCA can not continue to do this year after
year at a $18,000.00 loss. We believe it is a valid service to
help with the control of rabies. We are asking each municipality
if they would consider giving a contribution for cat control
based upon the use by their citizens. For any municipality that
does contribute to our cat control program by the schedule we
will resume in 1996 picking up all of their stray cats and
assisting the public of trapping feral cats. The cost for the
Town of Dryden would be $5,269.00. If the county would fund more
money in 1996 to the SPCA for cat control then the contribution
request would be lowered.
Supv Schug - what would happen if you told the county you were
not going to do cat control any more.
Pam Stonebreaker - we did consider that option, but we would
rather keep the service the people are using and do what is best
for the people.
is
TB10 -10 -95 Page 8
Co. Rep. Evans - to review this issue of the budget for the SPCA
as I understand it, Pam is correct. During the budget cuts over
the last 4 years their budget was reduced. Last year the county
looked at their base budget at the time before any cuts were made
and compounded 3 percent on top of that for the 1991, 1992, 1993
and 1994 and increased their budget by $20,000.00 and we
I
ncreased it to $26,500.00. At this budget round the SPCA
requested a budget total of $9,000.00 ($3,000.00 for trapping of
cats and $6,000.00 for boarding of cats) and the budget provides
$5,000.00.
Pam Stonebreaker - if we get the $5,000.00 we can reduce the
$18,000.00 to $13,000.00 so the Town of Dryden's share would be a
little less.
Supv Schug - so what will the SPCA do if the county will not give
you any more money and they don't care what you do with the cats
and the town says the same thing.
Pam Stonebreaker - we would have to stop providing stray cat
service. We don't want to do that and we have been trying to
with the county for several years. We know what our expenses
Co. Rep. Evans - the total appropriation is $31,500.00 we are
giving the SPCA $31,500.00.
work
are.
Pam Stonebreaker - $10,000.00 of that goes to cruelty for animals
investigation, which is a mandated service by New York State. We
are doing about 200 investigations a year.
Supv Schug - I would like more time to think about this request
for money for cat control.
Monica Ross - from Cooperative Extension - Ag exemptions - the
eastern part of the county is under review. Dryden was the first
district formed in Tompkins County and in 1978 the ag district in
the Town of Caroline was formed. When a district is formed it is
with the involvement of the property owners. They all sign a
petition to create an ag district. Once an ag district is formed
they are reviewed every 8 years. We are now in the process of
reviewing these districts. The county is charged with the review
process. The Agricultural and Farm Land Protection Board, which
is an advisory board to the county board of representatives, does
a lot of the work and gives that information to the county. The
things we will be looking at is what is the viability of farming
today. Also, the State wants us to look at the soil resources in
agriculture, where are the best soils, where are the best places
we really want to protect land as well as farming. What else is
happening in the towns as to what extent development is
occurring, where are the development
i
I
i
TB10 -10 -95 Page 9
• patterns, are they in ag districts, do we want to take those
lands out of the ag districts. This is something we will be
looking at and also what are your plans. We need to know where
water and sewer is planned for your town. Every time there is a
water and sewer district in an ag district there are limitations
imposed by law. Water and sewer going through an ag district
limits the hook ups. You can only hook up to existing structures
in an ag district. If you have situations where you are looking
at water and sewer that might be something for us to consider in
the review process. Where the ag district intersects with local
community action is when there are public funds for
infrastructure development. There is a process required of notice
of intent which means that if you are thinking of installing
water and sewer, roads any kind of publicly funded infrastructure
you would have to notify New York State Ag & Markets and provide
information as to the impact on farming. The purpose of this
provision of the law is essentially to make a full evaluation of
what the impact will be in an ag district and to be able to
access that honestly. The commissioner reviews this proposed
action and looks to see if alternatives have been considered and
might even propose an alternative to be considered. They would
provide you with an action or statement as to the ag and markets
view. In that process they look at the information that you would
provide. Also the Ag and Farm Markets Protection Board would also
review that same information that you would be providing and
• looking at the situation and identify what the impact would be if
any municipal action. We would make our comments to the State for
consideration. Essentially this is an extra step pertaining to ag
districts. It is the State policy to try and encourage, enhance
and promote agriculture as a major industry in the State. The
intent of the policy is to have communities be aware of the
agriculture that does exist and evaluate it when projects are
being proposed and look for alternatives that would minimize the
effect of an operating active farm. For private developers, when
they are proposing a subdivision in an ag district they are
required to provide an agriculture data statement. This is to be
filled out if they are coming to the board for a special use
permit, site plan, etc. If they come to the board for municipal
review this is something that needs to be included in an ag
district. This is for you to look at and decide what the impact
will be on agriculture. The developer is required to notify farms
within 500 feet of the development. The other provision of the ag
district law relates to local laws that would restrict farming
practices. The ag district law precludes local laws in
restricting farming practices unless in the case of health and
safety. This would have to be proven whether or not the practice
is unsafe and this is determined through the review process of
the State.
Supv Schug - the town board passed a Local Law #1 - 1992 Right to
Farm Law

® Monica Ross - the review process starts when the State notifies
us that it is time do a review and it starts 300 days before the
anniversary date of the district which is April 28th. We are at
the information gathering process right now. The town did receive
notification that the town is under review. Between now and when
the public hearing will be held the Ag & Farm Land Protection
Board will be gathering information from land owners as well as
the farm community and the towns. This will help us decide what
lands should stay in the ag district and what should be removed.
This is what the public hearing will be about, those
recommendations. This will be held on December 19th. She gave
board members information regarding the ag district.

CITIZEN PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR
Ralph Varn - I have the complete water line and sewer line
installed, the base of the road is installed except for a narrow
strip at the entrance where NYSE &G is making a gas connection.
There will be electricity there by this Friday. I am hoping you
will accept the road and the utilities that are in those roads
contingent upon final acceptance of the sewer main and the punch
list items Dave Putnam has drawn up. Acceptance of the base road
by the town highway superintendent. They intend to finish up
everything except for oil and stone which should be put off until
sometime in the spring or summer. The curbing has not been put in
yet at the entrance - 225 feet. The sidewalk, the landscaping is
not complete yet. There is a letter dated 6 -11 -95 from Larry
Fabroni which has the cost of the road and what the certified
check would be. To put the road in based on that letter is an
amount of $9,800.00 for the oil and stone, $4,500.00 for the
curbing, $4,500.00 for the sidewalk and $3,000.00 for the
landscaping for a total of $21,800.00. I would like to propose to
the town that we supply to the town a certified check for
$25,000.00 to cover those expenses. We are hoping to have the
I
TB10 -10 -95 Page 11
curbing, landscaping and sidewalk done within the next month or
month and a half. The oil and stone for the road would be done in
the spring. I have an estimate from Vestal Asphalt Co. for
$9,765.00 for the oil and stone. The bid is made out to me and
the Town of Dryden. I am proposing one and one half times the
amount instead of $21,800.00 I am proposing $25,000.00. Also I
would have to pay the town $15,000.00 for the Snyder Hill work
that will be done.
Supv Schug - questioned about the mitigation of the buffer to the
neighbors.
Ralph Varn - that is part of the landscaping which will be done
within the next month to month and a half. They are going to
continue working on that. The next step is to put the curbing in
then the walkway in. After that is in we will plant some trees.
The Planning Board and the paper that Barbara signed with the
contingencies on it talks about that. It is item #4.
Supv Schug - questioned the road not being oiled or stoned before
winter this year.
Ralph Varn - we are thinking we shouldn't do it this year since
we didn't have much rain so things can settle in. In the spring
we will touch it up and do the oil and stone.
Supv Schug - that means we don't plow it this winter.
Ralph Varn - if you accept the road you plow it.
Supv Schug - asked Hwy Supt Gilbert if we accept a road that is
not oil and stoned.
Atty Perkins - $125,000.00 was the original amount the Planning
Board set based upon your recommendations. If the town board was
to accept the road prior to any completion and improvements.
Ralph is asking for your discretion to reduce that amount of
money and accept the road before it is completed by having him
post security for that. If Ralph completes it satisfactorily and
within the time specified by the board he gets his money back. If
he doesn't the town has the funds there to complete it.
Ralph Varn - we are perfectly willing to do the oil and stone
this year rather than waiting until next year. He felt it would
be best to wait until next year since we have had no rain. I feel
we will get a better overall road for the town and I will have
less liability.
Atty Perkins - asked Hwy Supt Gilbert if we plow other roads that
are not stoned and oiled.
40 Hwy Supt Gilbert - yes, the trouble I see with this is if we
accept the road now the guarantee would only be for 6 months
instead of the year.

Supv Schug -
so Ralph
would
have
to guarantee the road for 18
months if he
wants to
do it
this
way.
Ralph Varn - that is fine with me. I think it is in everyone's
best interest to do it in the spring next year. It is up to the
town board.
Supv
Schug -
asked Hwy Supt
Gilbert
if he
would recommend that
this
road be
oil and stoned
in the
spring
instead of now.
Hwy Supt Gilbert - agreed.
Atty Perkins
- the
road
will
have to be graded and crowned in the
spring before
it is
oil
and
stoned.
Atty Perkins - if the town elects to do this then you have to
decide the amount of security.
Supv Schug
- the
sewer main
and
water line is going to be
completed
before
you ask for
a C.O.
mortared
Ralph Varn - yes, the punch list items that Dave Putnam has. The
sewer line and manholes are all in. The water line has water in
it, been flushed and now we are doing the pressure test.
• Supv Schug - acceptance of the road by the Hwy Supt Gilbert
without the oil and stone.
Ralph Varn - correct, and the ditches and shoulders.
Supv
Schug -
went over
Dave Putnam's punch list. Frames, covers
and
manholes
mortared
in.
Ralph Varn - they are there and the manholes should be all
mortared in by Friday.
Supv Schug - dirt removed from the manholes and inspected.
Ralph Varn - that has been done.
Supv Schug - flush the sewer mains.
Ralph Varn - we are going to do that.
Supv Schug - Oct. 13th prior to acceptance Larry Fabroni will
submit a new detailed drawing showing the benches so the spring
line is straight.
Supv Schug - asked Dave Putnam if he was happy with Item #5 and
Item #6.
Dave Putnam - I will be more than willing to look at it and go
through my letter and get an answer back.

- the

you
will provide

Ralph Varn - correct.
Supv
Schug -
the Town
of
Ithaca
requires a meter
after the sewer
flow
is 5000
gallons
on
Route 79
as we approach
that threshold.
Larry Fabroni - 5000 gallons is the joint sewer entity threshold.
At the board they decided at what point should you have a flow
meter and that is where the 5000 number came from.
Supv Schug - the Town of Ithaca does not require a meter until
the sewer flow is over 5000 gallons. Is that okay with Dan Walker
and the Town of Ithaca. This should be in writing from the Town
of Ithaca.
Larry Fabroni - we haven't discussed that number with him in
particular. Ralph has talked with John Whitcomb.
Supv Schug
- item #9
reads
that
the
Town
of
Ithaca
does not
require a
meter until
the
sewer
flow
is
over
5000
gallons.
Larry Fabroni - that is the stated policy. I don't know how else
to answer your question. You, the Town of Dryden, the Town of
• Ithaca, and the City of Ithaca have passed a resolution to that
affect. This is what I am saying.
•
Supv Schug - our resolution was you had to have a meter from the
beginning. If the Town of Ithaca wants to wait until you get 5000
gallons and you get them to sign off on then I don't have a
problem.
Ralph Varn -
we are
going to
put
a meter
in and
we would
like to
put that off
until
we reach
the
threshold,
until
maybe 5
houses.
Supv Schug - you will have to get that in writing from the Town
of Ithaca.
Dave Putnam - wondered if the town should also have a reserved
amount of money in the figure for the future installation of the
meter.
Larry Fabroni - I would ask
if you
came to that point
you would
still be able to withhold C.
O.'s
or other things for
subsequent
housing sites. There is only
one house
there now with
1400 feet
of road and you are covered
by what
Ralph has offered
to you
tonight and we would never
need a
meter there for that
one house.
If we don't come back until
there
is at least 5000 gallons
in
there and you felt you had
to ask
for some security in
subsequent
years just because you are
uneasy
we could at that point.

TB10 -10 -95 Page 14
Supv Schug - you are saying you don't want any meter in until you
get the 5000. I am saying that as we look down the road there has
to be some protection for the town to move the meter up to the
Dryden town line.
Ralph
Varn -
wanted
to know if we could tie this in with the
second
part
of Phase
I.
Supv Schug - whenever we do this it is going to be written by the
lawyer.
Ralph Varn - with respect to Item #11 - conditions 1 through 5
these conditions apply to the first developed lots shown on the
said subdivision plat as 27 through 39 and lots 41 through 44.
Should you request a building permit for any lot other than those
enumerated herein you shall complete all required improvements
with respect to water, sewer, roads, retention area, mitigation,
etc. or you shall deposit with the town a sufficient amount. That
meter which would be on the town line is within that second part.
All we are trying to do is be economical. We are saying the road,
water, sewer will be done. What will not be completed will be the
shoulder and ditches etc.
Atty Perkins - we are looking for money to cover the curb,
landscape plantings, sidewalks, oil and stone to the road.
Supv Schug - the landscape plantings is mitigation to the
neighbors problems.
Ralph Varn - we are continuing to work now and hope you will
release the money once that portion is done.
Atty Perkins - you have to have all of the mitigation measures
completed before you ask for a C.O.
Ralph Varn
- no, the
mitigations
are the landscaping plans. We
are saying
we would
like to get
the rest of the things done in 2
weeks and be able to
move this person in
contingent upon getting
close the house
we have the
the road
in 2 weeks. We just want to
permit for, but this is
accepted. If you accept it now
than I don't
have to
come back to
the November meeting.
Atty Perkins - the only thing you are asking for relief from is
the current landscape plantings with mitigation measures
conditions #4, sidewalk, stone and oil of the road. If we assume
that everyone has signed off on the water and sewer and
everything is in place all we have to do is come up with this one
number.
Ralph Varn -
correct,
if by
chance
something changes and we have
to come back
again to
have
another
conversation.

Ralph Varn - I can't get an electrical final until there is
electricity there and I can't get a water final until there is
water there. I have to get those two items to Henry before he can
give me a certificate. Henry has done his inspections as far as
the building is concerned. We expect to have those 2 inspections
by next week for Henry.
Atty Perkins - wanted to know if Dave Putnam had any concerns.
Dave
Putnam
- back in June the base
numbers
were adequate. The
only
concern
I have is I don't know
if all
of the storm drainage
work,
which
is an $8,000.00 number
has been
done.
Ralph Varn - all of the retention areas and all storm drains are
in or will be in for you to okay. They are not part of the
$25,000.00 they have to be done.
Dave Putnam - I guess back in June we agreed that the $9,800.00
for oil and stone and the other figures were good numbers. The
biggest number is the oil and stone and he does have a written
quote.
Ralph Varn - the quote for oil and stone is $9,765.00. This is
the only quote I have right now.
Atty Perkins - if you follow your past practice, you can accept
the numbers from the applicant. You are looking at a security of
$32,700.00 and $25,000.00 has been offered.
Supv Schug - wondered if he was going to ask for another building
permit until the road is accepted.
Ralph Varn - I don't see it right now. We have a second building
permit and we are hoping to build that house this fall. We want
to get everything cleared up first before we make that decision.
The only thing I can say on the $15,000.00 figure is I will agree
to tie that up.
Atty Perkins - the $15,000.00 is a separate issue and the town is
entitled to that anyway. That was understood it was to go to the
town to cover the cost of improvements. The other possibility is
you end up with one house and the town ends up with a lot of
properties on the tax roll and plowing a road with one house on
I t. That is not very cost effective.
Larry Fabroni - we could appeal and accept it as a driveway for
now and give us a C.O. and we will be back in two months with
everything done.

A. After giving due consideration to whether an undesirable
change would be produced in the neighborhood or detriment to nearby
properties will be created by the granting of the area variance,
the Zoning Board of Appeals finds as follows:
1• According
A• The

10. The applicant seeks the requested area variances in order
..• to obtain permission to subdivide tt►e subject property
into two lots, in order that financing to construct the
second office building is available to the applicant
secured by a separate lot.
11. The site plan approved by the Town Board would have
resulted in lot coverage by buildings of a total of 1.4 set
if the requested variance were granteds and applicable
back requirements were applied to the two subdivided lots,
and the second lot were fully developed, the lot coverage
for this property in total would be or►ly approximately
10.75$.
12. The neighborhood in which the property is located is a
densely developed, commercial neighborhood.
13. A substantial number of the lots in the tiA Zone along
Route 130 approximately four of the nine. are deficient in
either frontage or area under the Zoning Rawls current
requirements.
14. The development of a second office building on this
property would be permitted, and actually has been
approved by the Town. (along with the then existed
two - family residence) without the property being
subdivided.
15. The applicant has been advised by two lenders of the
applicant's choice that they would not provide financing
for the construction of the second office building unless
it were going to be built on a separate lots as
demonstrated in the June 23. 1995 letter of the Tompkins
County Trust Company and the July 1. 1995 leter of The
First National Bank of Dryden. The applicant
advised by the current lender on this property that it
shall not provide additional fi acingconstruction of
the second office building, as demonstrated
28. 1995 letter of Cortland Savings Bank.
16. At each of the hearings conducted on this variance
application. no neighboring property owner or other member
of the public has stated any opposition to the grant of
the requested variances.
17. The only opposition to the requested variances has been
expressed by members of the Town Board,
180 At the September 6. 1994 hearing on this matter, one
adjoining property owner expressed strong support of the
applicant's variance request.
r
(4)
199 If the variance were granted and the newly subdivided lot
improved in accordance with the Town's set back
requirements, not only would there be less overall lot
coverage than under the site plan previously approved by
the Town Board, but there would be greater separation
between buildings than in the Town Board approved site
plan. That is, because set back requirements would apply
to each of the two subdivided lots, rather than singly to
one lot overall, the grant of the requested variance to
allow subdivision of the lot would result in less dense
development of the property titan would be permitted
without the variance.
20 Taking into account the foregoing finding. little, it any,
change shall be produced in the character of the
neighborhood as a result of the granting of the variance,
and if any change is produced, (A) it is likely to result
in the development of new commercial space in the 't'own's
commercial district on property that otherwise would
remain undeveloped and vacant and (b) the development on
this property with the variances allowing it to be
subdivided into two lots will be less intense than if the
property were developed in accordance with the site plan
that the Town Board previously approved for this property.

sought by the applicant can be achieved by some other method,

the Zoning Board of Appeals finds as tollows:

24. The applicant's loss of the income formerly generated by
residential rental property has made it difficult to
obtain the necessary bank financing for the new
construction without subdividing the property into two
lots, one containing the existing office building and one
for development of the second office building. Although
the applicant received insurance proceeds on account of
the loss of the house, the insurance policy did not cover
loss of income, and no proceeds were received or are
available for this loss of income.
25. As demonstrated in*the June 21, 1995 letter of Anthony H.
Borarti, certified public accountant, the insurance
proceeds totalled $122,711.62, of this total, $70602.00
was paid for demolition expenses, $28,290.00 was required
for income taxes on the proceeds, and $50,000.00 Was
required to a paid down on the existing mortgage on the
property, leaving disposable proceeds of $368820.00
26. The applicant appears unable to finance the development of
the new office building without obtaining a mortgage loan
from a bank, and the applicant has been advised that such
financing will not be possible (see aforementioned letters
of Tompkins County Trust Company and The E'irst National
Bank of Dryden) with the current corLfig►iration and cash
flow of the property.
279 The applicant is more likely to obtain the needed bank
financing if it could be secured by a mortgage covering
only the separate lot on which the new building its desired
to be built (see aforementioned letters of Tompkins County
Trust Company and The First National Bank of Dryden).
The applicant would be able to develop this property with
precisely the same improvements, in conformity with all
applicable provisions of the Zoning Law, if this property
were not subdivided, but, for the foregoing reasons, it
appears unlikely that the applicant could finance such
development unless the property is subdivided.
28. The applicant has already received site plan approval from
the Town Board to develop this property in an even more
intense and densely developed manner than would be
possible if the requested variances are granted to allow
for subdivision of this property into two lots.
29. Based on the foregoing findings, the applicant appears
unable to achieve the benefit sought by any method,
feasible for the applicant to pursue, other than the
requested area variances*
i

(6)
j C. After giving due consideration to whether the requested
*area variance is substantial, the Zoning Board of Appeals finds as
follows.
30 The applicant had, prior to the loss of the former
residential rental property on this site, obtained Town
Site Plan Review Board approval for development of a
second office building on this property in addition to
the now - destroyed residential rental property. This
approved site plan included the now - destroyed residential
property and the approval did not require that the
residential structure by removed for the second office
building to be constructed. If the residential rental
property had not burned down, and applicant therefore
could have proceeded to develop this property in
accordance with the approved site plan, this property
would have included three buildings, while the requested
variances would result in the property. divided into two
lots, being developed with only two buildings. Grant of
the requested variances therefore would result in less
dense development of the property than that which the Town
Board has previously approved.
318 But for the requirements of the applicant's financing.
The applicant could proceed to develop a second office
building (and in addition, a third office building) on
lthis property without the requested variances.
32. The result of the granting of the requested variances, and
the subsequent subdivision of this property into two
non - conforming lots, and the development of an office
building on the now vacant portion of this property. will
be development of a similar kind and intensity of
development on the Juts in the tiA Zone: that surround this
property.
33. Notwithstanding that the granting of the variances
requested would result in creation of two lots of somewhat
more an on -half acre each in a Zone requiring a minimum
lot area of one acre, and notwithstanding that each of the
two lots would have somewhat deficient frontage, the two
newly created lots would be of a similar size and contain
similar frontage as a substantial portion of the other
existing lots in the MA Zone,
34. Based on the forgoing findings, the requested variances
are not substantial,

previously approved by the 'Town Site Plan Review Board.
40. Any development on the property shall be connected to

47. Restating and summarizing the foregoing findings, the
applicant's practical difficulty exists in the applicant's

property is possible only with the grant of the requested
area variances.

49. In considering all of the information and materials
presented by the app.licant, and in considering all of the
foregoing findings based upon such information and
materials, the Zoning Board finds that the benefit to the
applicant if the variance is granted will be the ability
for the applicant to subdivide the property, and thereby
the enhanced ability to obtain a construction loan to
develop the newly subdivided lot with the second office
building that the applicant desires to construct on this
property.
