TC Planning states that access to Route 13 should be limited to one commercial driveway (the westernmost driveway) with an adequate turning radius to allow safe ingress and egress and to avoid multiple vehicles trying to enter and exit the site in close proximity at the same time. They also recommend that as a condition of approval provisions be made for cross - access as recommended by the draft Town of Dryden commercial development design guidelines should development be proposed on the adjacent lot in the future. TC Planning said this proposal reflects the type of development that would continue to degrade the function and safety of NYS Route 1.3 if action is not taken to control commercial development in this corridor, in accordance with the recommendation of the Route 13/366 Corridor Management Study, and the Town's commercial development design guidelines. TC Planning further suggests that the Town may want to consider a temporary moratorium of development on the Route 13 corridor pending adoption of appropriate regulatory measures. Supv Sumner said applicant would consider a single driveway and DOT will advise him with respect to that, and if there were further development on the adjacent property, applicant would consider a cross access. Atty Perkins said in addition to the standard conditions of approval, there should be a condition that applicant will abide by the decision of the NYS Department of Transportation with respect to improvement and /or abandonment of the driveways to the project.

Bob Timmerman, of Sunshine Sign Company, presented the board with a proposal for a sign for the new town hall at a cast of approximately $12,000, including all materials and landscaping. He said not knowing exactly what the board wanted made it difficult for him to cc]Tne up with something, but if Ehey let him know what they warlt and how much they want Co spend, he would work with that. The drawing shows a lighted sign, with on area of changeable lettering, on a brick platform with a logo on the platform, Supv Sumner said she didn't .know off hand what the budget would be for this, but she was thinking rnore in the neighborhood of $5,000. She will work with ZO dater and Dawn Bogdan on a budget, and let Mr Timmerman know what that is, togrther with more specks for the sign itself by May 30_ It was suggested page 8 0 I' TB 5 -14 -08 that the Town DPW could help with this project, but J Bush said they do not have the time or personnel to participate in this project. s s , • s D Kwasnowski said that part of his job is implementation of the Comprehensive Plan and in connection with that the "Town hired Behan Planning Associates. As a first step, they have been working with the Planning Board to develop residential and commercial design guidelines to help property owners make the best use of their property. These guidelines offer options, not hard rules regarding frontage, etc., and were developed specifically with the Town of Dryden in mind. These guidelines have been reviewed by developers and real estate agents. The Town's zoning ordinance can be amended to include these guidelines, which are suggestions not regulations. There is a link to the process and guidelines on the Town's website, Lv%rw.dryden.ny.us. John Behan said this was a great project: and he enjoyed working with the Planning Board (several members were in attendance) and the Town's staff. He explained that the guidelines are really an extension of the Comprehensive Plan and extension of the Town's codes. The Zoning Ordinance doesn't really say what the Town wants, but rather says you must put something in the box within the set backs. The guidelines give a more definite idea of what the Town wants it to look like. In talking with staff, they determined that most of the growth in the Town has been small subdivisions. What currently drives lot size is demand and health department regulations. A major factor for a developer is the size of his investment in roads, driveways, well and septic, etc. The residential guidelines are designed to relieve some of these issues. Most development over the years has been along existing roads, and as that happens safety becomes an issue. A 137 acre parcel in the town was used to show various ways portions of it could be developed using a short road and /or common driveways, leaving open or park space. An agricultural conservation subdivision was demonstrated. In addition to individually owned properties, a homeowners association could hold title to open space portions and the homeowners share in the expense and maintenance of the property. Suggestions for a smaller subdivision were also demonstrated. The commercial design guidelines will help come in. They encourage a fewer number of signs set back farther from the road with a green belt in sharing parking areas and driveways. They encou Fewer parking spaces are recommended. Lots are required. Additional parking can be added later if create a little more order as new projects and limited curb cuts. Buildings would be front: and businesses could be connected by rage utilization of any nearby trail network. rarely filled to the number presently needed. J Behan said it is important to maintain the Town's uniqueness and identity, and the guidelines were developed with those in mind. He said he thinks the Town should put them in place now and they could be used while the Town moves forward with implementation of the Comprehensive Plan and zoning re -write. Supv Sumner said adoption of these guidelines now would be useful for the Planning Board's decision - making. Public meetings at different places around the Town will be held before the formal adoption process. JoEllen Bailey, Chair, Dryden Youth Commission - presented the Commission's 2007 Annual Report. She noted their mission is to provide opportunities for youth • development in the Town of Dryden. Their total revenue for 2007 was $85,040 from all sources and the report details the programs that were provided with those funds. The program Page 9 of 23 0 managers are present in the schools frequently umbrella next year.

RESOLUTION #85 - AUTHORIZE SALE OF PICKUP TRUCK Supv Sumner offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption: RESOLVED, that this Town Board hereby authorizes the Highway/ DPW Superintendent to sell one used 2004 '/2 ton 2 wheel drive Chevrolet pickup truck VIN# 1 GCEC 1.4V84Z29421 1 at a surplus auction or by advertisement to bid or to a public entity, instead of the 2002 3/4 ton Chevrolet pickup truck previously authorized. 2nd Cl Solomon Roll Call Vote Cl Stelick Yes Cl Solomon Yes Supv Sumner Yes Cl Makar Yes C1 Leifer Yes J Bush said he had received a request from someone who wanted to park in the lot at the Town Hall as part of a carpool effort. He does not have a problem with it, except that he would not want cars parking in the lot in the winter prior to the time the ploNvs come in. The board discussed using the three spaces at the furthest corner of the lot. Atty Perkins said this should be done by application. Applicants would be granted a revocable license giving them •permission to do this, and the permission could be revoked if necessary. RESOLUTION #86 - AUTHORIZE REVOCABLE LICENSE FOR PARKING SPACE Page 10 of 23 TB ,5 -14-08 Cl Makar offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption, RESOLVED, that this Town Board hereby authorizes the Town Supervisor to offer a revocable lic rise for parking space at the Town Hall on such terms and conditions as may be appropriate. 2na SUpV Sumner Rall Call Vote Cl Stelick Yes Cl $olornon Yes Supv Sumner Yes CI Makar Yes Cl Leifer Yes Ol Leifer said he would like to do something ,further for prorn oting carpooling that has a reed impact_ The board agreed that for the time being three spaces would be reserved for this purpose and they would be evaluated on a cast by case basis until something more formal is developed_ Dryden residents would be given preference, J Bush said that prior to the board meeting, he and the board and Andy Saarabba toured the area behind the highway facility, Board members were shown where he is proposing to build a structure for storage of salt and sand. J Bush said he has been plarming for this structure in his budget and recently compared the cost of two different types of structures_ A coverall structure would give them a height at center of 4 ' and a wooden structure would give them about 65'. They have been trying to make the highway facilities blend with the neighborhood, and he is concerned about the height of the wooden structure and it nuking them stand out more than he would like, The other issue is cost and for the size they would need, there is about a $72,000 difference in price, which would put them over the budgeted arnount_ He believes they can stay within budget by {doing with the cover -all style structure and accomplish what they need it to do. A Sciarabba said they have to balance on the site, the height, application, aesthetics, wetland delineation and open space around it. J Bush said they need to kip the structure away from the wetland area and outside the 100' buffer area required by DEC. Part of the project will include a detention pond to capture the runoff from the structure and some existing drainage behind the highway garage. Any future development of the land owned by the Town would also be able to utilize that detention pond. A Sciarabba said that even if they are under the threshold for a Oorm ester plan, thoy will use one_ There were no questions from the public_ L7 Kwwsnowski noted it was a good plan and they should proceed. The board received a proposed resolution authorizing an expense of up to $440,000 for this project. J Mush would also like the Supervisor to sign the proposal from TO Miller for engineering services and the proposal from lrmpire Oeoteehnical Services, Inc. for soil borings. Atty l rkins said the board should have some kind of design plan prior to passing the proposed resolution. Signing the proposals from TO Miller and Empire will be necessary before the plan can be designed. Until the Board has a site plan and more detail on what will be constructed, the resolution authorizing the funds will not be passed, RESOLUTION #87 - ACCEPT PROPOSALS FROM TO M LLER E]NO EERS AWD EWIRE GEOTECHNI AL SERVICE$, INC.

Atty Perkins said the local law provides that fees can be set by res u olution after pblic hearing. The procedure, if the board is so inclined, is to introduce th e resolution, table it, hold a public hearing, and then the board can act on it after the public hearing- Supv Sumner introduced the following resolutiono, WH114REAS, Section 10(a) of Vocal Law No.1 of the year 2447 requires Operating Permits for the conduct of certain activities or certain uses of categories of buildings, and WHEREAS, Section 10 (9) of such local lave a uthorizes the town board to set fees for application, inspections and issuance of Operating Permits, and WHEREAS, Section 16 of such local law requires a public hearing on a proposed resolution setting such fees, now , therefore BE IT RESOLVED as follows; J., The fees to be charged by the town in connection with certain Operating Permits are as follows: Local law Na. 1 (2407), Section 10(a): 'Page 15 of 23 TB -14 -08 (11 manufacturing, i5to"ing or handling hazardous materials in quantities exceeding those Listed in Tables 2703- 1 -1(1), 2703- 1 -1(2), 2703- 1 -1.(3) or 2743 - 1.1(4) in the publication entitled "Fire Code of New York State' and incorporated by reference in 19 NYCRR section 1225.1 $100,00 (2) hazardous processes and activities, including but not limited to, commercial and industrial operations which produce combustible &lust as a byproduct, fruit and crap ripening, and waste handling $100.00 (31 use of pyrotechnic: devices in assembly occupancies $125.00 (4) buildings containing one or more areas of public assembly with an occupant load of 100 persons or more $25.00 (5) buildings whose use or occupancy classification may pose a substantial potential hazard to public safety, as determined by resolution adopted by the Town Board of the Town $100 -00 2.

ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNER Dan Kwasnowski said a memo has been received from a rr�an applying for a grant through the Federal Transportation Enhancement Program to reduce vehicle - caused mortality of the spotted salamanders in the Thomas Road area. He said the Town could provide a letter of support and- not participate in the program- Supv Sumner explained there are wetlands on Thomas Road and during wet weather in May they all cross the road at roughly the same time and people are concerned about the number that are killed. This grant application would be construct tunnels under the road for the salamanders to use, She said they are fairly effective, but Highway Superintendents are not supportive of cutting into the pavement to install these crogsinUs. There has a] so been some discussion of closing the road on the wet nights when the salamanders are crossing. There could also be a rarnp put on the surface of the road that would allow them to pass underneath. The deadline for file gra »t application i8 in June. Supv Sumner said she would happy to write a letter saying the Town is concerned about the issue of amphibian mortality without actually endorsing the underpass- J Bush said in New York Mate taxes are bad enough and soi&newhere you have a draw a line at where you say yes and say no- He had proposed at a meeting on the subject that they use existing croWnrer culverts and direct the amphibkuis there. He understands that in order to apply for the grant they have to spend a certain amount of money on the project. He said he I s against it because it costs the taxpayer a lot of money. He is not sure he supports closing the road because all residents may not be in favor of that_ Closing the road requires the Page 16 of 23 TB 5 -14 -08 Highway Department to provide some in -kind service un setting up barricades, etc. and requiring ernployees to came in at night to do this. Supv Sumner said it is a critical habitat. for this particular salamander and the mortality rate is outrageous. She does believe it is worth doing something to protect it, but no sending highway ernployees out on rainy nights to put up signs, Atty Perkins said there are only certain limited times when you can shut off a public road. J Bush said when he closes a road he is supposed to notify all emergency services. He added that municipalities are having a hard enough time getting money for roads and bridges, and now they want several thousand dollars to do this, The board decided they were not in favor of this and Supv Sumner will write an appropria.tc letter. D K asnowski discussed progress of the trail from the Village of Dryden to tho Village of Freevilie. He and Supv Siimner recently met with Brad Hermann and other representatives of the Willi€�m George Agency and had a very productive meeting_ The William George Agency is anxious to have their pasture space between Springhouse Road and George Road drain as it used to_ The current plan is to tunnel under George Road end go along RPM Ecosystems property. Then the trail comes to a very busy portion of the Agency's property with horse and vehicle crossings, At that intersection it is proposed to have a. raised area for the horses and Agency vehicles to travel across and a passage underricath for users of the trail. This would run alongside an area reserved for horseback riders separated by a fence. D K asnowski said the Agency is very amenable to these ideas, and wwill consider a long -term lease. He recommends rnoving ahead with draining the pasture area as a. good faith gesture_ Their next board meeting is the first week of June and they won't meet again until Sep tern ber, The Town will have an excavator in place in July to do this work- Atty Perkins said the board needs to consider a number of things. in the past the Town has required a permanent easement for the trail, not a lease (that could be termllnated), because of the investment of public funds. D Kwasnowski said it is clear what the Agency wants in the way of improvements and separation of the trail from its operations. Atty Perkins said the Town needs to be conscious of its investment of public money and strongly recommends a permanent easement and right of the public to use it_ some of the property is already subject to a permanent easement for water and sewer lines. Atty Perkins suggested that the Wilharn George Agency be made aware of the project costs so they can see why we need a permanent easement. After further discussion by the board, Supv Sumner was authorized to sigxi an agreement to drain the pasture area this year in exchange for permanent casement after further meetings with representatives of the William George Agency, RESOLUTION 091 - AUTHORIZE TOWN SUPERVISOR TO MADE PROPOSAL TO WILLLkM GEORGE A EIW Y Cl Makar offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption; RESOLVED, that this Town Board hereby authorizes the, Town Supervisor to sigh an agreement with the William George Agency providing that the Town will drain the pasture area between Spri.nghouse load and George Road this year, in exchange for a permanent easement according to the plan presented by Dan Kwasnowski. 2nd to Solomon Roll Call Vote 1 Stelick Yes Cl solornorl Yes upv Sumner Yes Cl Makar Yes Cl Leifer Yes 'age 17 of 23 T13 5 -14 =08 D Kwasnnwski has received two quotes for appraisal service in connection with the fx;w- Lin Farm Farinland Protection Grant_ One from North East Appraisals and one from Pomeroy Apprasals, Atty Perkins said Pomeroy Appraisals (5,000) would give an expanded summary appraisal, which is not a stand alone appraisal, and say in the letter that if it is going to be a self contained appraisal report, there is an additional fee, North East Appraisals {$5,000) say they will do a self - contained apprai&A report and will comply with the requirements and guidelines of NYS Department of !Agriculture and Markets.

They verified there was no filter fabric between the planting soil and the stone. The material was pretty clean though, and they think what was rea]1y clogging up the filter was a three or four inch layer of sediment that had clogged the upper portion of the filter, They did a mock up and tested it a few tithes and it worked fine. They pulled out the stone, put all new piping in, put the filter fabric down, replaced the planting soil material, and finished all the punch list items, They regraded the tops of the ponds and they were seeded today.

Atty Perkins said it basically authorizes another phase of the sewer treatment plant improvements and renovations and repairs. He has not had a chance to look at the proposed resolution_ Supv Sumner said they have a clone a study over three years as to what the plant needs and have very methodically prioritized the necessary immediate repairs. It has heen divided ants a five year plan. Atty Perkins said the bottom line is that the sewer districts will be charged $28,194_ upv Sumner sui d the board can authorize it, if they wish; she can share the details in the next day or so- RESOLUTION TION #93 - AUTHORIZE SUPERVISOR TO SION SEWER C014TRACT 0 Cl Stelick offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption: RESOLVED, that thin Town Board hereby approves the construction proposed for the Page 18 of 23 T.S 5 -14 -08 Ithaca Area Wastewater Treatment Flan t, and authorizes the Town Supervisor to sign a contract for the Town's share of the project, not to exceed $28,1 94.00, 21"' Cl Makar Roll fall bate 0imirlin Cl Stelick Yes Cl Solorrkon Yes Supv Sumner Yes Cl 141aIr Yes Cl Leifer Yes Af V Equipment - fl Makar said the Technology Committee i.nterviewed Lonnie Park of Ultimate Music and Dave Kingsley of Sound on Sound.
