Someone from TC3 approached him about this last year, and he has now received a traffic report from the NYS Police Department. That report suggests a posted speed limit of no greater than 30 mph because of the steep grade of the road and the curve at the bottom. J Bush recommends asking for a speed limit of 20 mph. A speed limit of 15 mph in a school area is common, and the campus speed limit is 25 mph. He added that: tickets are not generally issued for travelling just above a posted limit. He said he understands that the State has already indicated they will go along with the decision of the Town Board. After discussion, the board passed t:he following resolution. RESOLUTION # 137 - REQUEST REDUCED SPEED LIMIT ON FARVIEW DRIVE Supv Sumner offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption: WHEREAS, harview Drive in the 011own of Dryden serves essentially as the access road to the Tompkins Cortland Corrcmunity College dormitories, and WHEREAS, Farview Drive is a straight, steeply, graded road, with a sharp curve at the bottom, and currently has no posted speed limit, and Is WHEREAS, the Town Board is concerned with the safety of the travelling public and the many college students who travel this road, Page 15 of 38 TB 8 -I2 -09 0 NOW, THEREFORE) BE IT hPMLVED, that this Town Board hcre1: y requests that the speed Iim111 on Par-view Drive be lowered to 2 0 tr,iles PCT hour, and requests that the New York State Department of Transportation conduct a study of the area to de Lermine whether such a speed limit is Warranted. 21A Cl Makar Roll Call Dote Cl Stelick Yes Cl Salomon Yes upv Sumner Yes Cl Makar Yes Cl Leifer Yes J Bush said the Technology Conimittee h o u asked for quotes to protect the phone and computer systems from lightening strikes.

He asked whether the board would like him to move forward with this, and whether they wanted to do it this year or budget the amounts for next year, The Town does have insurance coverage that has taken cars of some lightening losses. Tnstalling lightning protection could result in a credit of as MIL(LI3 as .15% in the insurance premium with 1'YMiR (approximately $2000). Cl Btelick would like to know exactly what the insurance credit would be- He suggested than because the TowTi is currently [;Uvered by insurance for a lightning incident, that they gather more information, and put it in the budget for next year- He noted it is %ornething that he believes shoLild be done, The board agrees and asked J Bush to find out whether there i sere any maintenance cosi's and what the life span of the aystem is.

Based on that research, they have recommended a fee for various sizes of maps. He said he believes these prices to be less than what is charged at Kinko's. The board reviewed the information. ZO Slater said the cost of running legal notices has skyrocketed over the past several years and the Town has not changed its fees for things such as a variance or site plan review since 1992. For example, the fee for a variance request is $50.00 and the cost: of a legal ad with an affidavit of publication averages $63.00. The fees for maps can be adopted by resolution. Increasing the fees for zoning variance, special permit, site plan review, subdivision review, and planned unit development will require an amendment to the zoning ordinance. Supv Sumner noted that the zoning department is not supported by property taxes. It is supported entirely by state aid, fees and sales tax.

RESOLUTION # 141 - NEG SEQR DEC - AT&T WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATION TOWER - FARVIEW DRIVE C1 Stelick offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption: WHEREAS, A. The proposed action involves consideration of the application of AT &T Wireless to construct a telecommunication tower on property owned by Tompkins Cortland Community College, Tompkins County and Cortland County, at Farview Drive in the Town of Dryden. B. The proposed action is an Unlisted Action for which the Town Board of the Town of Dryden is the lead agency for the purposes of uncoordinated environmental review in connection with approval by the Town. C. The Town Board of the 'Town of Dryden, in performing the lead agency function for its independent and uncoordinated environmental review in accordance with Article 8 of the New York State Environmental Conservation Law - the State Environmental Quality Review Act "(SEQR), (i) thoroughly reviewed the Long Environmental Assessment Form (the "Long EAF "), Part I, and any and all other documents prepared and submitted with respect to this proposed action and its environmental review, (ii) thoroughly analyzed the potential relevant areas of environmental concern to determine if the proposed action may have a significant adverse impact on the environment, including the criteria identified in 6 NYCRR §617.7(c), and (iii) completed the Long EAF, Part 11; NOW, THEREFORE, ICE IT RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS: 1. The Town Board of the Town of Dryden, based upon (i) its thorough review of the Long EAF, Part 1, and any and all other documents prepared and submitted with respect to this proposed action and its environmental review, (ii) its thorough review of the potential relevant areas of environmental concern to determine if the proposed action may have a significant adverse impact on the environment, including the criteria identified in 6 NYCRR §617.7(c), and Page 22 of 38 TB 8 -12 -09 (iii) its completion of the Long EAR, fart: 11, including the findings noted thereon (which findings are incorporated herein as if set forth at length), hereby makes a. negative determination of environmental significance ( "Negative Declaration") in accordance with SEQR for the above referenced proposed action, and determines that neither a full Environmental Assessment: Form, nor an Environmental Impact Statement will be required, and 2. The Responsible Officer of the Town Board of the Town of Dryden is hereby authorized and directed to complete and sign as required the determination of significance, confirming the foregoing Negative Declaration, which fully completed and signed bong EAR and determination of significance shall be incorporated by reference in this Resolution. 2,1a Cl Solomon Roll Call Vote Cl Stelick Yes Ci Solomon Yes Supv Sumner Yes Cl Ma.kar Yes Cl Leifer Yes The board discussed the height of the tower as proposed and whether to reduce it. Supv Sumner said there is likely to be a demand for space on a higher tower for microwave devices, and if the ma�dmum height is allowed at this time, it will save having to approve a higher height in the future. Applicant pointed out that extending the height of the tower at a later date will result in a greater visual impact because of the way in which the extension must be constructed. After further discussion, the board agreed to leave the height: at the 140' applied for. It was pointed out that 8' antenna will be attached to the structure, resulting in a total height of about 143'. The tower law refers to the height of the tower structure. Applicant agreed to lower the antenna mounting bracket so that the tip of the antenna will be the same height: as the tower at 140'. Cl Stelick pointed out that the original application was to take care of the needs of Tomkins- Cortland Community College and the location was chosen to take care of those needs. Now they .are talking about additional providers on the tower and the benefit: to the community as a whole. Supv Sumner said then the question is as long as there is going, to be a tower there, do they want it large enough to accommodate other carriers. They believe it is more likely to be used for microwave devices than more antennas, Cl Stelick pointed out that the tower is higher than the temporary tower and being moved further uphill. If they were putting the tower where the cell on wheels is currently, they wouldn't be having this discussion because there is less visual impact. The permanent tower can't be placed in the same place because of underground utilities. Jim Woodard of AT&T said the 1.40' monopole will be a very clean, smooth structure. Cl Makar asked whether'1'C3 would receive any financial benefit if other carriers co- located on the tower. M Christofferson said no. TC3 gets a fixed amount of rent regardless of the number of carriers. After further discussion, a height of 140' was agreed to by the board. Conditions of approval of the application were discussed. Jeff Kirby said the applicant has answered the questions in his Iett:er of August 11, 2009. Some items have been deferred until the applicant has filed for a building permit, as they pertain more to the building permit. That letter also suggests certain conditions of approval that the board agrees should be attached to the approval.

However, credit cards shall not be used to circumvent the purchasing and procurement procedures currently in place. In order to facilitate best business practices, the following policy sets forth the procedures for making credit card purchases for the Town. POLICY Page- 26 of 38 ` HI R -12 -09 ® A credit card purchase will not replace the normal purchasing procedures, It will be used in instances where it is not advantageous or cost effective to use the current voucher system (when a vendor will not accept a Purchase Order and we do not have an open account with that vendor). It may also be used for online purchases and registering for conferences, training, hotel reservation guarantees, and emergency purchases necessary to conduct Town business. Credit card privileges may be rescinded at any time at the discretion of the Town Supervisor or the Town Board if policies and /or procedures are not followed. The Bookkeeper and Town Board will audit credit card usage and the cardholders will be personally liable for any unauthorized use that occurs on their credit card. This policy provides the guidelines under which cardholders may utilize their credit card. All cardholders should read the policy carefully. A cardholder's signature on the Town of Dryden's Cardholder Agreement indicates that the cardholder understands the intent of this process and agrees to adhere to the guidelines set forth in the policy. A master list of credit cards and cardholders will be reviewed during the organizational meeting every year. A master list of the credit cards and cardholders will be kept with the Town Clerk and the Bookkeeper and updated as necessary. The Town has authorized three credit cards from a credit card issuer /bank and three individual cardholders with a maximum credit limit of 52,000 on each credit card. Cardholders are authorized by board resolution.

Martin Signature r- --`�'k —�_ Title EnginecHag Manager Date 2/11/09 If the action is in the Coastal Area, and you are a state agency, complete the Ccastal assessment Form before proceeding with this assessment. Page 10 of 21 PART 2 = PROJECT IMPACTS AND THEIR MAGNITUDE Responsibility of Lead Agency Seneral Information (Read Carefully) I In completing the form the reviewer should be guided by the question: Have my responses and determinations been reasonable? The reviewer is not expected to be an expert environmental analyst- 1 The Examples provided are to assist the reviewer by showing types of impacts and wherever possible the threshold of magnitude that would trigger a response in column 2. The examples are generally applicable throughout the State and for most situations. But, for any specific project or site other examples and /or lower thresholds may be appropriate for a Potential Large Impact response, thus requiring evaluation in Part 3. The impacts of each project, on each site, in each locality, will vary. Therefore, the examples are illustrative and have been offered as guidance. They do not constitute an exhaustive list of impacts and thresholds to answer each question. 1 The number of examples per question does not indicate the importance of each question. I In identifying impacts, consider long term, short term and cumulative effects. Instructions (Read carefully) a. Answer each of the 20 questions in PART 2, Answer Yes if there will be any impact. b. Maybe answers should be considered as Yes answers. C, If answering Yes to a question then check the appropriate box(column 1 or 2)to indicate the potential size of the impact. If impact threshold equals or exceeds any example provided, check column 2. If impact will occur but threshold is lower than example, check column 1. d. Identifying that an Impact will be potentially large (column 2) does not mean that it is also necessarily significant. Any large impact must be evaluated in PART 3 to determine significance. Identifying an impact in column 2 simply asks that it be looked at further. e, If reviewer has doubt about size of the impact then consider the impact as potentially large and proceed to PART 3. f. If a potentially large impact checked in column 2 can be mitigated by change(s) in the project to a small to moderate impact, also check the Yes box in column 3. A No response indicates that such a reduction is not possible. This must be explained in Part 3. 1 2 3 Small to Potential Can Impact Be Moderate Large mitigated by Impact Impact Project Change Impact on Land 1.

I have read the appraisal and have discussed its contents with the reviewer. I wish to make the following comments: I wish to make the following comments about the Department and /or Organization as a whole: EMPLOYEE'S SIGNATURE DATE I have objectively based this review on the individual's job performance and have discussed the review with them. REVIEWER'S SIGNATURE I have confidentially read over this performance review. DATE T�SUPERVISOR'S SIGNATURE DATE Dominion Transmission, Inc. operates the Borger Station in Ellis Hollow - a natural gas compression plant. Dominion is now seeking approvals for a major expansion of the facility. This facility is located in a residential neighborhood in the heart of the Ellis Hollow community. We do not believe that Dominion has adequately considered how the Borger Station is impacting our neighborhood. Given the scale of this project and the current attention on the Borger station as Dominion seeks approvals, now is our opportunity to voice community concerns and seek a healthier relationship with Dominion. 1. Sound mitigation. On page 6 of the March 20, 2009 application that Dominion filed with FERC - Dominion indicates plans to install silencers on the two existing turbines that will remain in service. Page 913-6 of the sound study states that sound levels from the blowdown vents of these units must not exceed 70 dBA at 50 feet. William Biker, Dominion's sound engineer, predicted at the June 18, 2009 neighborhood meeting that the sound level at turbine blow down events would actually be much lower once these new silencers are installed. This is very good news as this type of blow down is by far the most common blow down. Additionally, blow down events are by far the loudest event that occurs at Borger. We as a community would like to see a written commitment from Dominion to bring the maximum A- weighted sound level from the (3) silenced unit blow down vents to 45 dBA at the nearest NSA. 2, Installation. We recognize that the ultimate effectiveness of the sound mitigation plan proposed by Dominion will depend on the quality of construction. Seemingly minor mistakes in the construction process can nullify the predicted sound mitigation benefits. Peter Rothbart, an Ellis Hollow resident and sound engineer, has volunteered to monitor the construction process. We request that Dominion allow reasonable access to Mr Rothbart for this purpose. 3. Communications. We understand that many maintenance activities at Borger are scheduled well in advance. We request that Dominion adhere to a defined and effective communications protocol so neighborhood residents are aware of these upcoming events that generate loud noise. 1.

The question of whether an action may be significant is not always easy to answer. Frequently, there are aspects of a project that are subjective or unmeasurable, it: is also understood that those lwho determine significance may have little or no formal knowledge of the environment or may not be technically expert in environmental analysis. In addition, many who have knowledge in one Particular area may not be aware of the broader concerns affecting the question of significance. The full EAF is intended to provide a method whereby applicants and agencies can be assured that the determination process has been orderly, comprehensive in nature, yet Flexible enough to allow introduction of information to fit a project or action. Full EAF Components: The full EAF is comprised of three parts: Part 1: Provides objective data and information about a given project and its site. By identifying basic project data, it assists a reviewer in the analysis that takes place in Parts 2 and 3. Part 2: Focuses or) identifying the range of possible impacts that may occur from a project or action. It provides guidance as to whether an impact is likely to be considered small to moderate or whether it is a potentially -large impact. The form also identifies whether an impact can be mitigated or reduced. Part 3: If any impact in Part 2 is ideritifled as potentially - Large, then Part 3 is used to evaluate l ;rhether-or not the impact is actually important.
