The

Journal.
M Bianconi explained that the Commission felt the need to revise the local laws
pertaining to the Recreation Commission because they were written before there was a
Recreation Department axed before there was full time staff in the Recreation Department. It
left the Commission in a position of operating under a law that really wasn't relevant anymore.
The Commission spent a lot of time on this and now has a law that is much more reflective of
the Commission serving as an advisory board, providing guidance to the full time staff
members, and having input on policy review, etc. This local law clarifies the role of the
Commission and how their membership process works. She said this is a strong law and gives
the Commission a good charge.
17 Schmohe, Chair of the Recreation Commission, said he is in agreement with the way
the law has been rewritten.
M
Robertson asked
if there were
presently vacancies on
the Commission. M Bianconi
said there

Once a month each Judge has a pre -trial session with the Assistant District Attorney present

in the area.
Supv Sumner closed the public hearing at 7.35 p.m.

• Dan Schmohe gave a presentation about a triathlon (kayaking, biking and running) that
the Recreation Commission would like to hold at Dryden Lake. He estimates the number of
participants between 125 and 450, individually or as teams. The budget for the event is
$9,535 and he believes he can raise that in sponsorships, concession percentages, t -shirt sales
and entry fees. Any profit would be retained by the Town and could be used for recreation
facilities. The event will also require a large number of volunteers to run. There was some
discussion about whether this should be sponsored by the Town or done privately. Cl Makar
asked D Schmohe to gather information from a municipality that has done this type of event.

Highway Superintendent Jack Bush asked whether the board had made a decision on
whether to leave the payphone in place at Dryden Lake Park. The cost to the Town is more
than $500 per year and it is seldom used. There was one 911 call in 2007. Supv Sumner said
they could look into the expense of a blue light phone. Since most people have a cell phone
now days, there may not be a need for the payphone. Cl Leifer said it is a public safety issue.
Supv Sumner said she would like to get more information and talk about it next month.
J Bush asked the board to consider a resolution designating seasonal use roads.
RESOLUTION # 165 - DESIGNATE SEASONAL USE ROADS
Cl Makar offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption:
RESOLVED, that this Town Board accept the following list of seasonal limited use
highways upon the recommendation of Highway Superintendent. These roads will not be
plowed or maintained from November 2008 through April 2009. The roads will be posted with
the appropriate signs and the Town Clerk shall post such notice at the Town Hall.
l Hile School Road - from # 147 Ed Hill Road west to within approximately 500 feet of
Route 38.

Alternatives Federal Credit Union
Now Brian Zapf of Alternatives Federal Credit Union spoke to the board about their
Community Tax Program (staffed by volunteer preparers and sponsored by the IRS ) that
provides free income tax preparation services for families with gross incomes under $40,000.
The limit is $25,000 for a single individual. Last year they served 1,292 households with total
refunds of over two million dollars, including federal and state earned income credit.
Alternatives is looking for an additional location for this service and because many of their
clients are Dryden residents are interested in doing this at the Town Hall once a week
beginning in January and ending in April.
Supv Sumner
said
this is something she
would like to have available to residents at the
Town Hall and would
be a

® RECREATION DEPARTMENT
Melissa Bianconi said she had been asked to read the resolution passed by the
Recreation Commission regarding the proposed triathlon: "After a lengthy discussion at our
last meeting, Tammy Sherwood made a motion to vote to support the concept of the triathlon
as presented. Don Scutt seconded the motion with three in favor and two abstaining." She
added that one of the abstentions was Dan Schmohe.
Programs are running really well. The new full time Coordinator started on September
15 and is doing a fabulous job. He would have been present, but is officiating a flag football
game and will be attending a baseball meeting after that.
M Bianconi
reported that
planning for the
cheerleading competition is proceeding well.
She has re- written
the guidelines
and procedures
for that competition.
The Recreation Commission has written the adult code of conduct, as requested by the
Town Board, and it was unanimously adopted by the Commission.
The Recreation Commission has received an application from Elsie Gutchess for appointment
to that commission. The Commission voted on the application Leith four in favor and one
abstention. Cl Leifer said she would provide representation on the Commission for seniors and
would be someone not focused on sports.
RESOLUTION #167 - APPOINT E GUTCHESS TO RECREATION

M Bianconi distributed a pamphlet about the Training and Certification Program for
Youth Coaches through the SUNY Youth Sports Institute. She said one thing that came out of
their public visioning session was a need to have coaches better trained. She will be requiring
that the Recreation Department's coaches participate in this program. The first session will be
held November 3 and will be held at the Village Hall. This is a program that focuses more on
child development rather than competitiveness.
Zorika Henderson said there seems to be an emphasis on building trails, including in
environmentally sensitive areas. She suggested there be more emphasis on having bike lanes
along the roads. Property owners are concerned about people walking on trails near their
yards and animals.
COUNTY BRIEFING
Martha Robertson welcomed the board to the Ellis Hollow Community Center and said
it was good to have them on the western side of town. The County Legislature continues to
work on the budget. There will be a public hearing on Monday, November 10, at 7:00 p.m.
Information is available on the County's website. She encouraged people to make comments
on the budget, either through the website, by calling the legislature office at 274 - 5551., or by
mail to the Clerk of the Legislature, Tompkins County Courthouse, 320 North Tioga Street,
Ithaca, NY 14850. The public is also welcome to legislature meetings the first and third
Tuesdays of each month at 5:30 p.m. at the Courthouse.
M Robertson said she has submitted a request to the Town Board to include in its
budget $18,000 for TCXr for next year. She said there a lot of people interested in the bus and
there has been a big increase in ridership. TCAT has been quite responsive to Dryden's
requests for service and recently increased service in the Town. Supv Sumner said the board
would be considering that request at its next budget meeting, and is interested in knowing
whether this money could be leveraged to increase ridership in Dryden.
The new County Administrator, Joe Mariana, has spent some time in town and will be
starting October 21, Steve Whicher will be done October 27 and there will be some events to
say goodbye to him.
ZONING OFFICE
Kevin Ezell reported that at the Code Conference in Minneapolis, there was a vote
whether to require sprinkler systems in all new one and two family dwellings and that passed
1284 to 430. This %will be included in the 2009 Code, but will not go into effect until January 1,
2011., or when the code is adopted by the municipality, whichever occurs later. The State
would have the ability to remove that, but he does not expect them to do so.
A drop in the number of permits issued has been noted by the department.

• Dan Kwasnowski reported that some funding for the stream gauge in Six Mile Creek
has been lost. The expense has been shared by USGS, City of Ithaca, Tompkins County, Town
of Dryden and Town of Caroline. Last year Dryden committed to $1500 for three years, and
they would like to increase that $2,296. Linda Adams of the Town of Caroline is actively
seeking other funding for the project. He said the gauge is significant for any stream projects
because of projections that can be made from the data collected. The increase would take
effect next year and he has already provided for that in his budget for 2009. Supv Sumner
asked for supporting information. She is in favor of keeping it in the budget.
No action was taken on the official map of the town.
Supv Sumner has signed the contracts for the salt storage building. Atty Perkins said
as soon as a minor problem is worked out with the bonds, they will be ready to issue a notice
to proceed.

• Atty Perkins explained that in the course of trying to prepare an official map of the
town, they have discovered a few problems with the official status of some roads. Town Boards
in the past. have done qualified abandonments of portions of certain roads. One of the things
discovered was a Certificate of Qualified Abandonment for Star Stanton Hill Road. That was
signed by the County Highway Superintendent after resolution by the Town Board and the
appropriate public hearing, but it was never signed by the Town Board. It has now been signed
by the Town Highway Superintendent and was signed by the Town Board at the table.
Atty Perkins distributed proposed amendments to the Town of Dryden Zoning
Ordinance and Subdivision Ordinance that incorporate the concept of the design guidelines.
He said he did not use the exact language that was sent to him, but tried to make the language
of the proposed amendments consistent with the language of the Ordinance and its terms. The
design guidelines apply to Planned Unit Development Districts, Site Plan Review and
Subdivisions (commercial or residential). A Planned Unit Development District requires 1.00
acres and in the entire time Dryden has had zoning, there have been no Planned Unit
Development Districts. There is a pre - application meeting incorporated in the process to
discuss what should be in the application.
The amendments require the applicant to adhere to the applicable design guidelines to
the maximum extent practicable. The board will need to discuss a waiver provision because in
some circumstances the applicant may not be able to comply with all of the guidelines. With
respect to subdivisions, the Town Board could give the Planning Board the power to waive the
strict application of the Zoning Ordinance provided the Planning Board finds that the applicant
has complied with the design guidelines to the maximum extent practicable. He said he would
like to see a provision that if the Planning Board finds that the applicant has demonstrated
that the applicant has complied with the design guidelines to the maximum extent possible,
they shall itemize where relief is needed, certify it to the Town board, and ask the Town Board
to adopt a special local law with respect to that particular application and subdivision. This
will have to be written into the new zoning ordinance, but for now the intent is to make it fit as
well as possible.
Atty Perkins said the board still needs to decide on a waiver provision. There will need
to be an Environmental Assessment Form and the design guidelines need to be in final form.
The process is to then introduce it, hold a public hearing, go through the environmental review,
then adopt it, post and publish the changes. Cl Makar said he would like to have a public
information session prior to the formal public hearing. Atty Perkins said it needs to be
complete prior to that. After discussion, the board decided it all could be accomplished by
,January.
Unfinished Business
Weatherization Cash Grant Program - Cl Leifer asked the board for a resolution
allowing the Supervisor to advertise this program (from the funds allocated for the program) in
local newspapers and change the application deadline for the program to December 31, 2008.
Funds for this program come from repaid HUD loan money. He added that programming these
funds in this way will protect the money the Town will receive in the new grant. if these funds
were not utilized they could potentially reduce the amount of new award.
