61 TOWN BOARD MEETING
TOWN OF DRYDEN
MARCH 10, 1998
Deputy Supervisor Charles Hatfield called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m.
Members and guests participated in a moment of silent meditation followed by
the Pledge of Allegiance.
Roll call attendance was by Town Clerk Bambi Hollenbeck. Present were Cl
Thomas Hatfield, Cl Charles Hatfield (as Deputy Supervisor) and Cl Deb
Grantham. Absent were Supv James Schug and Cl Ronald Beck. Attorney Perkins
arrived at 8:00 p.m.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Cl Grantham had requested a change in the wording of Resolution #48 of the
January 5, 1998 minutes. Discussion was had as to whether it should be changed. It
was decided to wait for advise from the Town Attorney.
Upon
motion of
Cl T Hatfield and seconded
by Cl D Grantham
the minutes of
the February
10, 1998
meeting of the Town Board
were unanimously
approved.
CITIZENS PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR
ERICA EVANS - Read a statement proposing that before the Town Board accepts
land or roads that such a proposal be brought before the Town Planning Board or be
subject to public discussion. Copy of statement attached to and made a part of these
minutes.
EVE FIRRA, Ellis Hollow Road - Expressed shock that there was consideration
for the Town residents to pay for a private road for the Dryden Central School District.
She feels that it is the responsibility of the school district. She strongly supports the
position of Erica Evans.
STU BERG, Hickory Circle - Feels the Town of Dryden on its own would not
normally seek to build this road, that it was instigated by the school. Developers must
first build a road then deed it to the Town. In this situation they are asking to deed the
property and have the road built for them. This is inappropriate.
PAUL JENNETTE, Beam Hill Road - Echoed feelings of previous three speakers.
Feels the School District should ask its residents for the funds.
DAWN POTTER, 922 Dryden Road - Presented letters from the Mahlers on
Dryden Road and Dr. & Mrs. Thomas Eisner, Hickory Circle, expressing their concern
with respect to the school road. Those letters are attached to and made a part of these
minutes.
KEN FINKLESTEIN, 944 Dryden Road - Was at a meeting on March 4 at the
Varna Community Association regarding this matter. Understands that the actual tax
base to pay for the road if it is built will be those people outside the Villages of Dryden
and Freeville and feels that it is especially unfair to those who live within the Town and
attend Ithaca Schools. He feels that those who don't attend Dryden School should not

T13 3 -10 -98
• pay for that road. He feels that it is a fiscally irresponsible way to approach the
problem. He is very much opposed to the road being built by the Town of Dryden.
JUDY TAYLOR, Varna - She is a teacher in Caroline and wants the Board to be
aware that the children in Varna and Caroline do not use the Dryden School facilities at
all.
LYNN GRIFFIN, Beam Hill Road - Attended the meeting in Varna on March 4
and expressed other concerns that were brought up at that meeting. Safety for the
children is a concern. Does not feel Mott Road is an appropriate road for the buses as it
does not seem in good shape to hold a lot of weight. There are gravel trucks that travel
Mott Road. North Road and Hart Road also offer safety concerns. The speed limit is 55
mph and gravel trucks frequent those roads. Feels that the Village Police could not
patrol those roads. Ms. Griffin has started a petition with respect to this. Many people
signing the petition are Groton School District residents and were unaware of what was
going on. Requested that a meeting be held in Varna regarding this matter, making
attendance easier for some residents. She was concerned that Cl Grantham was the
only Town Board member attending the March 4 meeting and that no School Board
members attended. Residents would like confirmation from Dr. Trombley with respect
to the figures given by him at the February 10 meeting. Dr. Trombley claimed 90% of
people who pay Town of Dryden taxes use the Dryden High School. She feels this
incorrect and there is a lack of information from the School. Requested the Town ask
the School Board members attend a meeting in Varna.
EVE FIRRA - Stated she has been a Dryden resident for over 25 years and never
set foot on Dryden School property.
• JEAN BERG, Hickory Circle - Wondered what percentage of the Town of Dryden
does not belong to the Dryden School District,
DEP SUPV HATFIELD - responded that he did not know and that the questions
the public was asking are the same questions the Board would like answers to.
CL T HATFIELD - Stated that there are likely to be several public hearings
regarding this. We are a long ways from making a decision. Someone asked if anyone
can just dump property on the Town. The answer is no. We have to be willing to accept
the property before it can be given to us. It will probably be several weeks before we
can consider these things. Right now we're missing part of our Board and we need
everyone present to set dates, etc. He expressed regret at not being able to attend the
meeting in Varna, but had a family priority that had already been postponed once. It
was short notice of the meeting and as much as he would have liked to attend, family
has to come first.
DAWN POTTER, 922 Dryden Road - expressed concern that she is unable to
reach the Town Highway Supervisor. She has been told that he is not there and has
not been in since the second week of November. Would like to know the status of this
and feels an elected official should be doing their job. She works at Cornell and must
go on disability if she's out for an extended period of time. She has never received a
response to call she made at Christmas time.
DEP SUPV HATFIELD - Advised her that the Highway Superintendant has been
ill and that his assistant, Randy Riker, has been filling in. Stated he thinks if you don't
• work you shouldn't be paid, but he really doesn't know the legal end of it.
Page 2 of 11
TB 3-10 -98
• DAWN POTTER - Feels you should receive disability for an extended illness, not
a full paycheck.
CL T HATFIELD - Stated an elected official is not an employee.
DAWN POTTER - Wanted to know if he receives a paycheck from the Town of
Dryden.
CL T HATFIELD - As an elected official. We do not control him, he's not an
employee of the Town. Well take this under advisement.
PAUL JENNETTE - Stated he had a similar experience in not being able to get
ahold of the Highway Superintendent. Understands that there is a deputy who is in
charge and wants to know what happens if the deputy calls in sick or goes on vacation -
-who will be in charge.
DEP SUPV HATFIELD - Assumes that there will be someone else who will be in
charge.
PAUL JENNETTE - Wants to know if he's ill or if he's out for good, and if he's out
for good then we should get someone in there who will take charge. Feels we should
have someone in charge who is elected, not a deputy who was not elected. Feels the
situation has gone on long enough and the public is entitled to some answers.
GEOFF POTTER - Stated there is a pothole at the foot of Mt. Pleasant Road that
has been filled several times and keeps reappearing. Wanted to know who takes care of
the access road between NYSEG and Route 366, there's a hole in that road.
PAUL JENNETTE - The school wants the Town Highway Department to build its
road and feels the Highway Department is busy enough trying to care for the roads it
has now.
MARSHALL TAYLOR, Turkey Hill Road - Wants to know the status of the draft
ordinance for adult entertainment and whether there are any changes in the proposed
schedule for getting it to the State. He also presented a letter to the Board regarding
the school road (copy attached to and made a part of these minutes).
DEP SUPV HATFIELD - Its progressing as it should as far as he knows.
ERICA EVANS - Informed him that she attended a meeting in Ithaca regarding
adult entertainment and that Mahlon Perkins also attended. She's sure he's working on
it.
COUNTY BRIEFING
CHARLES EVANS - The Economic and Work Force Development Committee met
today and had a presentation of three new family self- sufficiency programs. They are
done by Ithaca Housing, EOC and the Alternate Credit Union. They are educational
programs tied to savings programs. They are programs aimed at teaching people how to
manage and stay off of public assistance. The County will be applying for a welfare to
work grant through the federal government. If they get that grant it will assist welfare
recipients in trying to find work, but will also be available to any County resident trying
• to change jobs or find employment for the first time. The Government Operations
Committee will be meeting on Thursday to work a methodology to review county
departments. We want to look at how they're functioning and whether they can be
Page 3 of 11
TB 3 -10 -98
• more efficient. We will be developing a plan with a couple of departments to report to
our committee and trying it out with the hope that other county departments can use it
for those departments that report to them in the hopes of optimizing county
government.
MIKE LANE - The Public Works Committee has an update of its County Bridge
Status Report (report distributed to Board members). Red Mill Bridge is of concern and
I received a copy of a letter today from John Lampman to Jim Schug (copies provided to
Board members) regarding the status of that project on our five year bridge program.
The estimate to rebuild that bridge is $620,000. The current schedule provides for
design in 1999 and construction in 2000. The Public Works Committee has discussed
whether there might be opportunity to realign the bridge to a narrower area of the creek
in order to cut down the cost of the bridge. The letter discusses information regarding
getting it done earlier by putting the money up front in order to advance the opening
date of the bridge. The County Cable Commission issue is about to come back to all the
Towns and Villages. The Cable Commission voted to recommend to the municipalities
that they go in with the City of Ithaca in one large negotiating party and come on to the
contract with the consultant that has been selected by the City, the City paying the
largest share of the cost. We are proposing each town pay a share not to exceed $2.00
per subscriber. Thanked Cl T Hatfield for sitting in on a conference call with the
consultants. Having worked with the Intermunicipal Cable Commission for the past
three years, he recommends that we stick together on this, that there is strength in
numbers. The Planning and Intermunicipal Coordination Committee has begun to
sample interest in surrounding counties about a regional meeting to talk about whether
the County should join the State in taking the local sales tax portion off clothing and
shoes. In 1999 the State will take its 4% sales tax off clothing and shoes up to $100.
There is talk of raising this to $500. If Counties follow suit it will affect revenues and
budgets at the Town level. We are concerned because we have slack sales tax revenues
now and with declining real property assessments, replacing the money lost by those
sales tax revenues could mean raising property taxes. We want input on that and in
my opinion, if we can look at from the regional basis and maybe have several counties
adjoining us take the same action, it may be easier.
PAUL JENNETTE - Thanked Mr. Lane for representing us on the County Board.
As a civil engineer, he is concerned about the Red Mill Bridge. It is an old and unique
structure and we should consider its historic value. He doesn't feel the bridge gets a lot
of traffic, doesn't know why we are spending $620,000 to fix it or considering moving it
ahead of other projects. This seems like a lot of money for a bridge that is very seldom
used.
MIKE LANE - Red Mill has been structurally flagged. The other bridge near it
that you might logically use, the Malloryville Road bridge, is also a historic bridge,
another Groton bridge, and another deficient bridge. We looked at the costs to
modifying Red Mill Bridge to strengthen it, but the costs were prohibitive when
compared to the cost of a new bridge. We are aware of the historic value of the bridge.
It's probably the most historic truss bridge in the County. There are options —you can
leave it in place and build next to it, you can move it someplace else where it can be
used, you can set it aside and just have it to look at. I don't think there is intent to
demolish it at this point. We have competing needs. There are five bridges in the
County presently closed. This particular bridge is access to a farm which supports 10
employees and that's something we have to consider.
• PAUL JENNETTE - Pointed out that there are lots of other bridges and roads
that provide access to farms and other businesses. We are talking about the public
money of the County and moving this bridge up on the priority list.
Page 4 of 11
TB 340 -98
MIKE LANE - If the Town wanted to pay the cost of putting it up, the County
could move its priority up at no extra cost to the County. It would be an extra cost to
the Town. From our standpoint, we've offered that to other Towns and would be willing
to offer it to the Town of Dryden with no recommendation whether they should do it or
not.
PAUL JENNETTE - Well then thank you, and Town Board, I think that that is
nuts, to put it plainly. Feels the Town should leave things as they are if the bridge will
get done eventually. We should not pay interest to have a seldom used bridge moved
up by a couple of years.
ATTY PERKINS - Pointed out that on the handout Mr. Lane just handed out, it
has the worst condition of any bridge in the Town of Dryden.
DEP SUPV HATFIELD - suggested that it might be used more if it were repaired
and that it is used more frequently than Mr. Jennette feels it is.
EVE FIRRA - With respect to Mr. Lane's remark about the possibility of a
property tax increase, she pointed out that residents of this county go other places to
shop. Would like government to look at cutting spending instead of increasing taxes.
CL D GRANTHAM - Inquired about the transportation study and meeting to be
held on March 19 and whether we have a representative.
ZO SLATER - Informed us that Barbara Caldwell is that representative.
CL T HATFIELD - Thanked Mr. Lane for the opportunity to sit in on the
conference call with respect to the Cable Commission and inquired whether we could
set up a meeting with Time Warner and our Board and other interested parties. Before
we start spending money on consultants he would like an opportunity to talk with them
one on one. Cl Grantham and Dep Supv Hatfield agreed that this was a good idea.
CHARLIE EVANS - Encouraged the Town Board to look closely at combining
forces for negotiating with Time Warner. He as at a recent meeting in Syracuse
negotiating another issue with Time Warner and it was pretty clear that they do not
want municipalities joining together for negotiation.
COUNCIL PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR
CL D GRANTHAM - Reported on the meeting held on March 4, 1998 in Varna
regarding the proposed school road. Her remarks are contained in a memorandum
from Cl Grantham to the Board dated March 8, 1998, a copy of which is attached to
and made a part of these minutes.
I have had reservations about the road from the beginning and continue to have
those reservations and actually oppose it on the grounds contained herein. I would like
to offer the resolution that the Town hold a special board meeting at the Varna
Community Association at least by May 1998.
I also had people talk to me about the Red Mill Bridge. People are concerned
that the acceleration of work would slow down other highway projects and the cost
would increase because we would be financing part of it. The historic nature of the
bridge also needs to be considered. I'm pretty concerned about that issue as well. Part
of all of this the people have brought up is concern about the condition of other roads in
Page 5 of 11
TB 3 -10 -98
• the Town. Some of these I've brought to the Highway Superintendent in the past and
nothing has been done, so I'm putting them in writing.
A memorandum written by Cl
Grantham to Randy Riker,
Deputy
Highway
Superintendent dated March 10, 1998
is attached to and made a
part of
these minutes.
A memorandum written by Cl Grantham to the Town Board dated March 8,
1998, regarding Dryden School District Road, Special Board meeting and Red Mill
Bridge is attached to and made a part of these minutes.
Remarks were made by Geoff Potter and Lynn Griffin regarding the need to
repair potholes at the foot of Mt Pleasant Road. They have been repaired, however the
fix seems to be only temporary.
Cl Grantham suggested we reserve a motion to hold a meeting at the Varna
Community Association until we receive a calendar from Dawn Potter and have the rest
of the Board present.
TOWN ATTORNEY
ATTY PERKINS - Hatfield update - the previous matter was satisfied with fines of
$1,000 for each of two violations and a conditional discharge.
Proposed drainage district - A resolution has been prepared which when
adopted will initiate the process of establishing a drainage control district in the Yellow
Barn Road area of the Town of Dryden by appropriating the sum of $7,350 to pay the
• cost of preparing a map, plan and report.
CL GRANTHAM - wondered why the area is not named and boundaries not
described.
ATTY PERKINS - advised her that at this point the boundaries have not been
defined because we will need the map, plan and report in order to do so and that it is
not necessary to name the area in this early stage.
After discussion, the following resolution was offered by Cl T Hatfield, who
moved its adoption, seconded by Cl D Grantham, to wit:
RESOLUTION #85 - A RESOLUTION APPROPRIATING $7,350 OF THE TOWN
OF DRYDEN, TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK, TO PAY THE COST OF
PREPARING A MAP, PLAN AND REPORT IN CONNECTION WITH THE
PROPOSED ESTABLISHMENT OF A NEW DRAINAGE DISTRICT IN SAID TOWN
IN AN AREA OF SAID TOWN NOT INCLUDED WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF
ANY EXISTING IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT OR INCORPORATED VILLAGE.
WHEREAS, Section 209 -b of the Town Law authorizes any Town to adopt a
resolution, subject to a permissive referendum, appropriating a specific amount of
monies to pay the cost of preparing a map, plan and report in connection with the
establishment of a proposed improvement district not included within the boundaries of
any existing improvement district or incorporated village; and
• WHEREAS, it has been proposed to establish a new drainage district in said
Town; and
Page 6 of 11

• WHEREAS, it is now desired to appropriate monies of said Town to pay the cost
of the preparation of a map, plan and report for said proposed new drainage district, in
accordance with the provisions of Section 209 -b of the Town Law; NOW, THEREFORE,
BE IT
RESOLVED by the Town Board of the Town of Dryden, Tompkins County, New
York, as follows:
Section 1. There is hereby appropriated the sum of $7,350 of the Town of
Dryden, Tompkins County, New York, to pay the cost of preparing a map, plan and
report in connection with the establishment of a proposed drainage district within said
Town not included within the boundaries of an existing improvement district or

Section 2. In the event that such drainage district shall be established by
whatever name known, pursuant to the provisions of Article 12 -A of the Town Law, the
expenses incurred by the Town of Dryden, Tompkins County, New York, for the

establishment of such drainage district and the monies appropriated hereby shall be
reimbursed to said Town by said drainage district.
Section 3. This resolution is adopted subject to a permissive referendum in
accordance with Section 209 -b and Article 7 of the Town Law.
The question of the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly put to a vote
on roll call which resulted as follows:
• Cl T Hatfield - aye
Cl D Grantham - aye
Cl C Hatfield - aye
Cell Tower Local Law - ATTY PERKINS explained that he currently has two
different ways of dealing with this, one of which would be to amend Article XI of the
Town Zoning Ordinance and the other to add an Article XXV to the Town Zoning
Ordinance. Copies of the model ordinances were distributed to Board Members for
their consideration. Mr. Tim Leonard of TEA offered to meet with the Town regarding
industries' insight regarding cell towers.
CL GRANTHAM - Stated the Planning Board has not completed its report
regarding cell towers, but listed some of the things they are concerned with, i.e., that
they not interfere with existing views and /or activities; that we adopt ridge rules; that
we secure a performance bond for removal and site restoration; that they be non-
transferrable; that we encourage co- location and use of existing structures; that they be
by Special Permit,
ATTY PERKINS - advised that the model ordinances presented addressed all of
those concerns except the performance bond.
CL GRANTHAM - requested Atty Perkins forward copies of the models to the
Planning Board members.
ATTY PERKINS - with respect to the adult entertainment moratorium, we have
entered into an agreement with the Towns of Lansing and Groton to study the

• secondary effects of sexually oriented businesses and are proceeding along the timeline
previously given.
TOWN CLERK
Clerk informed the Board that she would like to attend the NYS Town Clerks
Association in Saratoga Springs from April 19 to April 22, 1998. She had previously
forwarded Board members copies of information regarding the conference and the
amount of money required to attend.
RESOLUTION #86 - AUTHORIZE TOWN CLERK TO ATTEND CONFERENCE
Cl T Hatfield offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption:
RESOLVED, that the Town Clerk is hereby authorized to attend the NYS Town
Clerks Association Conference in Saratoga Springs in April 1998, and the Town of
Dryden will pay expenses in connection therewith not to exceed the sum of $519.00.
2nd Cl D Grantham Roll call vote - all voting yes
Clerk informed the public and the Board that the Annual Report for the Town of
Dryden for 1997 had been filed in the Office of the Comptroller of the State of New York
and that a copy was available in her office for inspection and copying.
ZONING OFFICER
is ZO SLATER - has submitted his monthly activity report (copy attached to and
made a part of these minutes). He informed the Board that he had met with the Village
of Dryden regarding doing their Code Enforcement (details contained in report). ZO
Slater feels that the sum of $5,000 annually which they propose to pay is low and
should probably be $10,000.
We have not received anything further with respect to the Ottenschott matter.
Cl Grantham would like input from the Planning Board with respect to that.
Cl Grantham is concerned about a house on Snyder Hill that burned in the Fall.
She was informed that the owner (by land contract) at the time of the fire has
apparently let the property revert to the original owner and ZO Slater has had no
success in getting anyone to board up or demolish the building. Discussion was had
with respect to what the Town can do. Atty Perkins advised that if after ordered to do
so the owner does not take care of the matter, the Town can do it under the authority of
the Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code. ZO Slater will proceed with this.
HIGHWAY SUPERINTENDENT
No one present from that department.
SUPERVISOR
Board members have copies of ambulance report.
Reminded Board members of Municipal Officials meeting to be held at A -1 on
• March 31 and the teleconference series offered through Cornell Cooperative Extension.
Board members have information regarding both of these.

TB 3 -10 -98
Dep. Supv Hatfield acknowledged receipt of thank you notes from the Kinsman
family and the Southworth Library.
Brush clearing - we have received some concerns from residents of Ellis Hollow
Creek that the Town had cut brush outside of the right -of -way. Dep. Supv Hatfield
stated he had inspected the area and felt that the Town had done a fine job.
Dep Supv Hatfield advised the Board that they had an application from Mary
Ellen Bossack who would like to be reappointed to the Youth Commission Board. Cl T
Hatfield remarked that she had served in this capacity in the past and done a stellar
job. Cl Grantham would like time to look into the matter. After discussion it was
decided to wait until the April meeting to make the appointment.
ATTY PERKINS advised the Board that he had two matters for Executive
Session, one of which will require further action by the Board this evening, and the
Board moved into Executive Session at 9:20 p.m.
Meeting reopened at 10:20 p.m.
RESOLUTION #87 - APPROVE ABSTSRACT #103
Cl Grantham offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption:
RESOLVED, that this Town Board approve abstract # 103 as audited, Voucher
#284 through #348, for a total of $71,338.11.
2nd Cl T Hatfield
Roll Call Vote - all voting yes
Atty Perkins advised the Town Board that he had prepared a proposed
resolution which would extend the moratorium on the Zoning Officer accepting any
applications for telecommunications towers until May 18, 1998. This will give an
opportunity for the Town Board to review the three proposed amendments to the Zoning
Ordinance that it has before it and to schedule at least one Public Hearing, and two if
necessary, to give the public plenty of opportunity for input into the regulation process.
In order to extend the moratorium, a Public Hearing would have to be held on a Local
Law prior to the expiration of the moratorium, and he suggested that a Public Hearing
be held on March 17, 1998, at 8:00 a.m. If you act on the proposed Local Law after
that Public Hearing, it then by courier can go to Albany and be filed with the Secretary
of State the next day, thereby effectively extending the moratorium for another two
months. This resolution needs to be offered, seconded and voted on.
RESOLUTION #88 - AUTHORIZE ACTION NECESSARY TO EXTEND
MORATORIUM ON TELECOMMUNICATION TOWERS
Councilperson Thomas Hatfield offered the following resolution and asked for its
adoption:
WHEREAS, the Town Board of the Town of Dryden has heretofore adopted Local
Law No. 4 of the year 1997 effective December 18, 1997, and
WHEREAS, said Local Law provides for a three (3) month moratorium on the
acceptance by the Town of Dryden Code Enforcement Officer of applications for
telecommunications towers, and
Page 9 of 11
TB 3-10 -98
• WHEREAS, the matter has been referred to the Town of Dryden Planning Board
to consider and report thereon, and
WHEREAS, the Planning Board met on February 26, 1998 and discussed the
matter at some length but the Town Board has not yet received their report, and
WHEREAS, the Town Board has received three drafts of proposed amendments
to the Town of Dryden Zoning Ordinance regulating communications towers all of which
drafts require extensive review by the Town Board, the Planning Board, the public and
industry representatives, including holding public hearings thereon, and
WHEREAS, the Town Board has determined a timetable to introduce proposed
amendments to the Zoning Ordinance, schedule public hearings thereon, adopt such
amendments and publish and post notice of adoption as required by law, and
WHEREAS, due to the complexity of the subject and local interest thereon, it is
necessary to extend the three (3) month moratorium, now therefore
BE IT RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS:
The following local law is hereby introduced and a public hearing thereon is
scheduled for March 17, 1998 at 8:00 am. prevailing time at the Town Hall, 65 East
Main Street, Dryden, New York 13053:
PROPOSED LOCAL LAW NO. 1 of the Year 1998
• Section 1. The moratorium established by Local Law No. 4 of the year 1997 is
hereby extended to May 18, 1998.
Section 2. This local law shall take effect immediately upon filing in the office of
the Secretary of State.
2nd Cl Grantham Roll call vote - all voting yes
ATTY PERKINS - Suggested that the Board consider a non - binding, but
hopefully acceptable, timetable for adopting regulations regulating telecommunications
towers. For the record, tonight the Board received two other proposed amendments to
the Town of Dryden Zoning Ordinance having to do with this. Please review them and
compare them with the previous one distributed. Please offer comments to Atty Perkins
in writing by March 31. By April 7 he will make any revisions and get them to the
Board in time for the April 14 Board Meeting, at which time the Board may introduce
one or more of those proposed amendments and schedule a Public Hearing. That
Public Hearing could be scheduled for April 28, 1998, at which time, after taking
comments from the public and hearing those for and against the proposals, the Board
could select one of the proposals or send it back for further revision. If it were sent
back for further revision, the proposed timetable would be to have the revisions to the
Board by May 5 and a public hearing on May 12 which would give us time to adopt the
regulations prior to the expiration of the moratorium. In clarification of that, if you are
going to have a second public hearing you would have to set it at the conclusion of the
first public hearing on April 28. This is a proposed schedule which would get the
regulations adopted prior to the expiration of the moratorium.

Atty Perkins requested that the Board consider adopting a resolution
authorizing the commencement of an action in Supreme Court against Roger W.
Hatfield and any other people responsible for the placement of the mobile homes or
other structures at 205 Sweetland Road and 207 Sweetland Road to cause the removal
on the condition that they are not removed by the owners thereof by April 1, 19980

other persons responsible for the placement of mobile homes or other structures at 205
and 207 Sweetland Road in the event they are not removed by April 1, 19984

Mr. Charles Hatfield
Dryden Town Board
65 East Main St.
Dryden NY 13050
Dear Mr. Hatfield:
I want to express my concern about the proposal before the Town Board to construct
a road from Mott Road to the property of the Dryden Central School. I can not, with
current information, assess the needs justification for the proposed road and have no
specific opposition to its construction. I understand the need to pay for roads which I
never use, just as I expect others to help me pay for the roads that I do use.
However, I do object to the Town financing this project without first doing three things:
1) performing a study to determine if the proposed road is the best alternative for
increasing access and improving safety around the Dryden School District's
property,
2) thoroughly documenting the proposed inter - governmental cooperation between
the Town and School District such that Town taxpayers are assured of receiving
services of equal value from the School District that is paid for the total cost of the
road (including design, supervision, labor, materials and maintenance amortization
costs), and
3) addressing, and correcting, the obvious inequities which would result from taxing
town residents who pay taxes to school districts other that the Dryden District and
do not use Dryden Schools while, at the same time, not taxing those in the Village
of Dryden and other incorporated villages which make the heaviest use of Dryden
School facilities.
I thank you for your service on the Town Board and I appreciate your consideration of
my concerns in this matter. I will appreciate receiving a direct response to the above
issues when your time allows.
Sincerely,
Marshall R. Taylor

I am here today to ask the Board to take the following proposal under consideration.
As a member of the Dryden Town Planning Board, and I speak only for myself,
not having had a chance to discuss this with my fellow Board Members, I would like to
propose that before the Town Board accepts land or roads deeded to the Town of
Dryden, such an acceptance be brought before the Town Planning Board, or be subject to
public discussion by means of a legal announcement in the newsmedia when such matters
are to be decided by the Board.
What causes me to make such a request is the matter of the "dead end" road under
consideration leading into the Dryden High School fields. I feel that it is unfair to charge
taxpayers for such construction without adequate public consideration. By accepting this
parcel of land to construct a road, the Town Board leaves itself open to donations of land
followed by similar requests from other public facilities (other schools, senior centers,
community centers etc.) and should in all fairness have no right to refuse such requests. I
do not feel that the property owners_ of the Town of Dryden are able to support this sort
of taxation.
I would also like to add that on the Planning Board we always urge subdividers to
build roads which entail a minimum expense to the Town, and 1 find it offensive that the
Town Board does not think along the same vein. It seems to me that such a basic
issue as new roads should involve the Planning Board in some advisory
manner.

Dear Dryden Town Board Member,
I am writing to express my concern about the proposal for the Town to build a
road from Mott Road to the property of the Dryden Central School. This was discussed at
the Town Board meeting on February 10, 1998. I understand that the road will improve
access to new facilities on school property and that taxpayers in the `-`Town Outside"
would be asked to pay, as much as $500,000, for its construction.
Even if the need for such a road can be justified, it is wrong to ask Town
taxpayers to foot the bill, especially those of us that don't live in the Dryden School.
District or use facilities at the school. If the road is important to the school system, but
they don't have the resources to pay for it, then they should either find an acceptable
means to raise the money (for instance through a bond issue) or postpone the project until
they can afford it.
I am strongly opposed to the Town of Dryden getting involved in the construction
of this road. Please do not vote to approve any proposal, which obligates me to pay for a
road to benefit the Dryden school system. I will continue to pay attention to this issue and
would appreciate hearing for you on this matter.
With Best Regards,
C�n `

RE: Red Mill Road Bridge - B.I.N 3209790
Dear Jim:
James T. Kazda, P.E.
Sr. Civil Engineer
In response to your February 17 letter, a preliminary cost estimate to replace the
subject bridge on its current location, including design, construction, inspection,
administration and a 10% contingency, is $620,000. This replacement would be a two -
lane, steel girder bridge with a concrete deck and a span of about 120 feet. There
would be no load restrictions. Historic considerations are not included.
Other options have been discussed. These include historic considerations in a same-
site replacement, realigning the road to a new crossing where construction would be
less expensive, or improving West Malloryville Road to carry the required loads. Costs
for these alternatives can be projected once more details are known for each option.
The proposed schedule calls for design in 1999 and construction in 2000. An
accelerated schedule, similar to the ongoing project in the Town of Lansing (Myers
Road), could allow replacement by the end of 1999. With this scenario, the Town
would pay $40- 50,000 for design in 1998 and up to $150,000 monthly payments
starting in June, 1999 for the balance of expenses. The County budget for 1999 and
2000 would have money to pay back these costs. Therefore, as soon as County funds
for each year are available, requests for reimbursement of the County share could be
honored.
I believe you have already received a copy of the Myers Road agreement with Lansing.
Please call if you need more information.
Sincerely,
John R. Lampman, P.E.
Associate Civil Engineer
