APPROVAL OF MINUTES Motion was made by Clp Roberts and minutes of town board meeting 7 -9; Review meeting of 7 -9 and 8 -13 be COUNTY BRIEFING 2nd by Clp C. Hatfield that the 8 -20; 9 -3; 10 -8 and Site Plan approved. Carried Co. Rep. Lane - the budget has gone through all of the committees and has now gone through the budget committee. However, shortly after that decision was made they were advised by Blue Cross and Blue Shield that the county would have to put in more money for their self insurance program. This is a $500,,000.00 short fall. Fortunately they were able to find some surplus money. There will be a public hearing on the budget on November 19th. One issue that came up late in the budget process was the youth services provided by the City of Ithaca. The city is having a problem with their budget and decided to axe support for the programs W*1Ch WpUld amount to the loss of 7 jobs in the youth department_ You are talking about $180,000.00 and the city asked the county to pick this up. The question is should the county pickup the tab for these programs. This would equal about 1 percent increase in your taxes. I would like input from the town board as to the county being supportive of this or should we let this fallback to the city as in the previous agreement. Co. Rep. Evans - there was close to $200,000.00 put into the mental health program which is about one half of what they asked for. Even with the mental health they will have to drop 5 positions most of which will be in administration. There is $600,000.00 extra going into social services and in addition there is $600,000.00 they didn't spend this year. There is a proposed 1 and 1/2 percent tax increase. Of the money that we added to the budget for special requests 58 percent is designated as target requests which changes the budget for next year. In my opinion this is extremely risky and should be reduced even if we don't change the actual budget. aaH i TB11 -12 -96 Page 2 Co. Rep. Evans - I would also like to have the town boards input • on the youth services since the county has already given them $250,000.00/5300,000.00. Part of this was a deal on the sales tax that was made so we would pass it. Another $40,000.00 goes to programs for the disabled which always has. My opinion is if we , are going to start funding the Ithaca City Youth Bureau at those levels I think the county should take it over and run it themselves. I I Supv Schug - our commission tried that sometime ago and discussed ! the possibility of the county taking it over and the city did not want to give up the youth bureau. Co. Rep. Evans - the city does not want to give up the youth bureau because they were the first one of that type in the state. Supv Schug - wanted to know how many were working with the county youth bureau. Co. Rep. Evans - there are about 6 people. Supv Schug - the one on one program is 98 percent volunteer. All the youth bureau does is train them. Sylvia - works in the one to one program and what you are saying • is true. We work mostly with volunteers, but in order to be sure the volunteers are screened, trained and supervised properly it takes paid staff. I work with a lot of youth in the Dryden area and visit the - families there. There is more youth from the Town of Dryden than any other part of the county. We match children with volunteers and provide them with "roll models, friendship, educational and recreational opportunities. We have worked years with the county to try and establish relationships with families in the Dryden area. We try and prioritize to see which children are the most needy. It is difficult to find enough volunteers to match with the children so we provide groups. There is a variety of different things that go into it. It just isn't a simple matter of matching children with volunteers. Supv Schug - the city is asking for $200,000.00. Sylvia - it just is not my program, there are other programs such as youth development where they provide children with jobs, an outing program and a big list of other programs. I Supv Schug - wanted ,to know what the ES program was. Sylvia - that is youth employment service where they match teens up with different jobs. Clp. T. Hatfield - of the 105 children that receive the services, • I thought everything but the coordination between the county and town was directed through the youth commission. I don't know if our youth commission has the understanding that these programs exist or how they get funded. 0 Varn Brothers Construction Corp. 471 Midline Road Freeville, New York 13068 November 16, 1996 Town Board Members Town of Dryden 65 East Main Street Dryden, New York 13053 Re: Peregrine Hollow Dear Board Members, We would like to request of the board an extension of time for completing the work at Peregrine Hollow from December 1, 1996 to a new date of June 1, 1997. By the time we worked out the elevations of Snyderhill Road it left little time to beat the weather this year. Don Armstrong of Cayuga Emulsions suggested that we wait until spring again. The same conditions exist this year as last, concerning the installation of the oil and stone, that it would not have time to take before the snow plows were on it. Don has assured me that we could put it in the first thing in May. We have planted trees along the entry and plan to continue, as long as possible, to work on other jobs at the entry. If you have any questions or would like to see me at a meeting please let me know. Ralph R. Varn Varn Brothers Constructio cc: J. Schug J. Kerrigan H.Slater M. Perkins D. Gilbert D. Putnam orp. aa( TB11 -12 -96 Page 3 • Co. Rep. Evans - I think traditionally there has been considerable coordination between the city and towns. Mayor Cohen is proposing if the county does not come up with the $200,000.00 is to cut 7 positions from the youth bureau. There is no question in my mind that this would decimate the youth bureau. These programs are programs that the youth board came to the towns and wanted to have the towns support. At that time the accounting they provided was so far out of line, which was costing $10,000.00 to support a single person. Co. Rep. Lane - none of this is youth recreation. This is all other kinds of services. Sylvia - I think that programs like ours are preventative measures. We provide services to children who would otherwise be getting into trouble. These roll models teach them new ways of behaving. I think it is a matter of paying something now to avoid in paying more later on. Co. Rep. Evans - if their program keeps 5 children out of jail you have more than got your money back. doesn't Supv Schug - one on one is a great program, but our children have all kinds of outing with our youth commission. Questioned what the Ithaca School District does for their children. • Co. Rep. Evans - the school district does very little in this area. Clp T. Hatfield - we have a town youth commission that looks at all the programs that serve our public and town youth and yet these programs are not known that they exist. Our youth commission doesn't have the ability to review them and prioritize them. There are a mix of services that are provided through the county and state funding which is a misallocation. from his attorney to Co. Rep. Evans - the county youth board did not support this increase. ATTORNEY Atty Perkins - Cortland Paving ( Ottenshot) - neither Mr. Ottenshot or his attorney showed up for the scheduled examination for a trial. There is a motion for supreme court on December 6th to compel him under penalty of contempt to show what his defense is. At the same time an application will be heard from his attorney to retire. Atty Perkins - Peregrine Hollow project - no change Atty Perkins - Westcott - no change • 0 i • Ll E as � TB11 -12 -96 Page 4 i Atty Perkins - Timmerman update - late notice of claim has been served and forwarded on to the insurance company.

ZONING OFFICER Monthly report given to board members i Dennis Huff - would like to move his business from 1808 Hanshaw Rd i to 1812 Hanshaw Rd (next door) since where he is now is up for sale. Wondered if he needed another permit. Supv Schug - will have to apply for another site plan review application when he is ready to move. Supv Schug - request from Reach Out for Christ to extend their building permit for one year for their property on Johnson Road since they are having financial problems. A new permit would cost them $1,400.00. Atty Perkins - wanted to know how long the ordinance states the permit is valid and when was the permit issued. Z.O. Slater - 1 year from date of issue which was November 14th. Atty Perkins - you can't by resolution change the effect of the ordinance. i Supv Schug - they are requesting the board to extend the permit. Atty Perkins - will check on the validity. Z.O. Slater - Loeven property - I spoke with Mr. Lazarus since he has been hired to save the barn. He plans on removing the south side of the barn and restore the remaining portion of the barn. The new owner does not want him to start the work until he has the j title. The closing is scheduled for November 14th. If this doesn't happen Mr. Lazarus was wondering if the board would give him some extra time than what was proposed in the schedule. Z.O. Slater - it will be fenced in before the winter and fixed in the spring. They will remove the south end which has started to fall in, secure the building and repair it in the spring. I think this is a good plan and is not a risk. i Z.O. Slater - MAK Industries - regarding trees that were planted. They are appropriately placed to provide screening that is desired. The problem is instead of 10/12 foot trees they are 5/7 foot trees. Date • To: From Sub. Dear Jim: n U %. November 4th, 199E James Schug, Dryden Town Supervisor Henry M.

Hanson, Jr. Commissioner of Planning Mr. Henry Slater Zoning Officer Town of Dryden 65 East Main Street Dryden, NY 13053 Ic October 28, 1996 Telephone (607) 274 -5560 FAX (607) 274 -5578 Re: Zoning Review Pursuant to §239 -1 and -m of the New York State General Municipal Law Action: Special Permit Application; RMS Gravel, Inc., Tax Parcel Numbers 35 -1 -45 35 -1 -55 35 -1 -65 38 -1 -23.2 and 38 -1 -24 Dear Mr. Slater: This letter acknowledges your referral of the proposal identified above for review and comment by the Tompkins County Planning Department pursuant to §239 -1 and -m of the New York State General Municipal Law. The Tompkins County Planning Department has determined that the proposal, as submitted, may have a significant deleterious impact on intercommunity, County, and State interests. This determination of `significant impact' is based on the potential for visual appearance and environmental impacts. Visual Appearance Many of the visual impacts from the proposed project cannot completely be mitigated, therefore the Department feels that the proposed project will have a significant visual impact on the rural landscape surrounding the site. Significant areas of the project site are visible from numerous locations throughout the town. In addition, the proposed operation will be visible to traffic along Route 38, a well- traveled route. In order to mitigate visual impacts on the area immediately surrounding the site, adequate and stable berms should be built on the perimeter of the site. Trees that provide adequate screening of the site should also be planted, particularly to help screen views of the project from Route 38. Z0 Recycled paper • • RMS Gravel, Inc. Page 2 Environmental Impacts The Department also has concerns regarding potential environmental impacts resulting from the proposed project. There is no hydrological information provided about the proposed site. Without this information it is impossible to address any potentially significant impacts from the proposed project. However, since the proposed project could potentially both disrupt the existing ground water table and introduce pollutants into ground and surface water, there is concern regarding both water quantity and quality. The information needed to adequately address these types of concerns includes: depth to ground water table, information about the existing aquifers and information on the direction of surface and ground water -flow, The Town should also be aware that there are significant natural resources in proximity to the site that could be negatively impacted by the proposed project. There are three Unique Natural Areas identified north of the site. They are Mud Creek Swamp, Woodwardia Woods and Woodwardia Bog. Additionally, Virgil Creek runs south of the site. Additional Concerns In addition to the concerns outlined above, the County Planning Department has a couple of comments that are unrelated to the determination of `significant impact'. Appropriate sedimentation and erosion control measures should be implemented to help mitigate potential negative impacts from the project. The Department is concerned with remediation of the existing RMS Gravel site since this site will be used to process material taken from the proposed project. Will there be any delay or changes in the remediation plan for the existing site since some processing activity will continue on the site? Other municipalities with gravel excavations have voiced concerns regarding noise from trucks backing up on excavation sites. The Department has heard about a new technology that activates a back up signal only when there is an object within 8 feet of the vehicle. The Town may consider suggesting that RMS Gravel look into using this type of technology on their vehicles. Should noise from trucks on the site become a problem, this technology could be a possible way of mitigating any negative impact. In order to make the berms surrounding the site more aesthetically pleasing, a mixture of wildflower seeds could be used with regular grass seed for planting on the berms. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this project. Please inform us of your decision so that we can make it a part of the record. incerely, 1 me s Hans n, Jr. ' ommissioner of Planning 0 0 �a § § - { L _ § 2f k 2E CL a \ k 0 0 0 k§ 6§ f S § ] § 7 \ % \ 2 ) a z \ CL �k 02 �© k 0 # \§ 0 �) b ks ) o - ; e »f o =CL c{ ■§ 2k 22 § § § 22 0 0 2 � % � ) / ° � k m m ■ ƒ = 2 0 } S a z az a ) < z o » F� $ X90 $ K k § ' § z ■ § k§ 7 § z ) z k k 0 $ co E ■ o IL�� E E E 7 E # 7 IL 00 � $ ) / § k woo 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 k 2 M 2 2 2 7 2 2 2 2 o 5 w / / / / \ / 7 mi a a a @ @ @ I @ w z z z z z z z 0 z z q z Fa Tom k2�k $ $ $ o $ $ $ ° 7 § q k z o CL 0 LL CL k k § \ ƒ § § 0 ) 2 k 0 \ co §\ 7 } K o ° J = K $ IL a� Q 2 K § ) k q ) a & & a o d § E a @ k � k § a b 2 = E a f / \ / a k I2' §)\ �2f �JIM �§ k �to Bk tkk o §k §7§] ��§ k.0 k7� ƒ§ 7/ )� )ƒ§ �U s =a aA cy) ) §� k2k a -2 2c° ® Ec �� {§2k 22ƒ 2k�� 2 2 2�2 % k§ k) \«/ /k� //} �& CLIP �J= c�kE LL Jm CD 0 aoo q�` 2z ate@ $ ]f]f )�� % §3] k/) /]� 18k w{ k \§\ mkt ))ƒ / §� � i i § z4o & ■ I$ E A 5 w 2 k§ o § 2 § / ƒ § 2 L � § 2 ■ m _ S IS §@ 0 co e §S 20 m 2 v 2� §/ 2k R § 2 0 C 77 �$ fE �§ C 7° E` 7 7 a a$ A �ƒ 0k du = a 0 0 _ k\ o Sao e m k © u 0 to 0 0 k 0 0 0 7 7 o a = @t � §kw j 7 k� CL k k�k \0 a, c \0 / fk 2 to Q 0 08 oo � � IL 0w $ R q I \ $ m 3 — E 0 7 / ° of � — LL 0 ©■ /�ok m o � a0Wa � k 0 \ \ « U ■ « a a a = � §0 LU § § lom n c$ 2 2 I $ 2 3 IL � (600 q K 7 w » & o q § o k o k k LU m k k I � LL � E 0) § ® 2 �wo § ��$ / § O§© E @� IX §k 32 �� 'k % & 2 /§� �p 0 2�� �2§ §2$ 22 §� 0.

I will try to keep all of the equipment in the back so the only thing you will see are the box trucks. voting Yes, Z.O. Slater - you have to ask the board to consider to give you that relief of the items of no outside storage. Supv Schug - gave Gus 2 weeks to arrange the equipment he wanted to store outside to see what it would look like. Count the equipment he wanted and report to the town before our December board meeting for their consideration. Supv Schug - wants to know what equipment is going to be parked outside during the winter months.

Hatfield Roll call DISCUSSION the County to consider vote - all voting Yes Supv Schug - request for a street light at the intersection of Route 366 and Sherbore Drive. There was also a request for a light at the end of the street. This would involve a lighting district so would have to be discussed with the neighbors since it would involve taxes. If the residents are interested in a lighting district we can figure how much it will cost and let you know. Supv Schug - Kimberly Drive - water problems - Mr. Olds said he has had his water tested and there is bacteria in it from the drainage problem from the Rhoades property. The town wrote to Likels, Streeter, Hall and Veley. The Likels and Streeters have had their water tested and there is no problem. Mr. Hall has bacteria in his water and wants to know what the town is going to do about it. We have not heard from Mr. Veley at this time. There is not much for the town to do since it is a private water supply. Atty Perkins - did not think the town should get involved since it is not our problem. You can discharge your duty by letting the people know that one of their neighbors has a problem and they should check their wells. Supv Schug - will let the property owners know about the water problem. aa7 I I I I a 3b TB11 -12 -96 Page 7 Dave Putnam - the problem was created by the property owners when they installed a 4 inch pipe in the bottom of the ditch, hooked their wells to it and covered it over so now the culvert that is under the road is actually lower than the bottom of the ditch.
