PUBLIC HEARING ON
ADOPTION OF AMENDMENTS TO
OFFICIAL TOWN MAP
Supv Sumner opened the public hearing at 7:07 p.m. and explained that this is being
done to accommodate a proposed road swap between the Town and Tompkins County. Under
a proposed Memorandum of Understanding with Tompkins County, Lake Road will become a
town road. Portions of Hanshaw Road, West Dryden Road, Game Farm Road and Cobb Street,
formerly cared for by the Town, will be given to the County. The Planning Board has reviewed
this and recommends the map changes.
There were no questions or comments from the board or the audience and the hearing
was left open at 7:10 p.m.
PUBLIC HEARING
PROPOSED LOCAL LAW # 1 OF 2010
AMENDING LOCAL LAW #2 OF 2006 (TELECOMMUNICATIONS
TOWER SITING LAW)
Supv Sumner opened the public hearing at 7:10 p.m., and Town Clerk Bambi Avery
read the notice published in The Ithaca Journal. This local law amends the Town's
Telecommunications Tower Siting Law (#2 of 2006) with respect to fees. Under the
amendment, the Town Board may choose to reduce fees for projects that are publicly funded or
in the public interest. When there are several identical towers in different sites, the cost of
reviewing the project is less.
There were no questions or comments from the board or the audience, and the hearing
was left open at 7:13 p.m.
CITIZENS PRIVILEGE
Hilary Lambert of Dryden Resources Awareness Coalition said DRAC had recently co-
sponsored cleanups on several preserves this past weekend. They also did where Route 13
crosses Fall Creek. She thanked Highway Superintendent Jack Bush for picking up the trash
bags. The group did this to send a message that everyone should help take care of water
resources.

DRAC would like ordinances to help protect Dryden when gas drilling and hydro-
fracking come to call. They are currently circulating petitions (currently with 370 signatures
each) asking for a noise ordinance and support for Assembly Bill 10633. Assembly Bill 10633
would clarify the role of municipalities in governing oil, gas, and solution mining development
and allow local government to enact and enforce local laws or ordinances with respect to the
same.
DRAC is concerned about gas drilling, hydrofracking and the permitting of the Cook 1
Well on Route 13. They have a list of things they believe local government should do before any
gas drilling is commenced. That list includes: Develop a land and water inventory guide,
implement community impact fees for schools and roads, require bonding for pits and
reservoirs, require reclamation funds, require emission monitoring of road dust and ozone from
flaring, implement a reverse 911 system (to alert people of a chemical spill or fire), define
mandatory setbacks from schools, houses, roads and streams, enact stormwater rules, prepare
plans to deal with impacts arising from changing property values, pass municipal watershed
ordinances, and several others.
H Lambert read a letter Joe Osmoloski submitted to The Ithaca Journal, after learning
that drilling on the Cook 1 site was apparently proceeding.
Debra Cipolla-Dennis, West Dryden Road, wants the board to be aware that the
Chemung County landfill is now accepting drill cuttings from Pennsylvania. They have applied
for a permit to expand the landfill from 120 thousand tons per year to 180 thousand tons per
year so they can accept more drill cuttings. DEC will hold a hearing on April 27 at Chemung
County Legislative Bldg on Lake Street. DRAC would like the Town to submit comments
against the County accepting these materials. Drill cuttings are known to contain heavy
metals and some toxins and radioactive material. There is more information on the DEC
website. Marie McRae said when materials were first accepted, this material was not tested.
When they did, it was only done for flammability, not for heavy materials, toxins or
radioactivity.
M McRae is pleased that the board has been so willing to work with DRAC and learn
about the issues of gas drilling and be forward in the issues. Barbara Lifton has recently
sponsored two bills in the Assembly. One will establish a moratorium on gas drilling in New
York until 120 days after the EPA releases its study of gas drilling impacts. The other would
allow local government to enact or enforce local laws or ordinances of general applicability if
the locals laws do not expressly regulate the oil, gas and solution mining industries regulated
by state statute, regulation, or permit. Local governments shall not be prevented from enacting
or enforcing local zoning ordinances or laws which determine permissible uses in zoning
districts. She asked the Board to support these bills.
With respect to conflict of interest, M McRae asked that if anyone on the board enters
into a gas lease, it be disclosed to the public.
At 7:34 p.m., the public hearing on the official map amendment was closed. Atty
Perkins will prepare documents for action later in the meeting.
At 7:38 p.m., the public hearing on Local Law #1 of 2010 was closed. No SEQR action
is required.

Cl Stelick offered the following resolution and asked that it be adopted:
RESOLVED, that this Town Board hereby adopts Local Law # 1 of 2010, amending Local
Law #2 of 2006 (Telecommunications Tower Siting Law), as follows, and directs the Town Clerk
to file the same with the Secretary of State of the State of New York:
A local law amending Local Law No. 2 of the year 2006 to provide for a waiver procedure
for certain fees and the deposit required by such local law.

Law for the Town of Dryden) is hereby amended to add a new subsection C to read as
follows:
"C. (1) At the time that a person submits an application for a Special Use Permit for a
Telecommunications Tower, or for co -location on an existing Telecommunications
Tower, the applicant may submit a written request for a waiver of a portion of the
application fee called for in subsection A above, and/or for the initial deposit required
by Section 14(B) above, and/or for the payment of the reasonable costs of the Town's
consultant and expert evaluation of any such application as required by Section 14(B).
(2) No such request shall be considered unless it is in writing and submitted at the time

resolution such request. The town board shall hold a public hearing at least ten (10)
days prior notice. At such public hearing the applicant, or the applicant's authorized
representative, shall present the case for such a waiver. In determining such request
the town board shall consider only such materials that have been submitted in support
of, and in opposition to, such request and the comments made at such public hearing.
In submitting such request the applicant shall be deemed to have extended the time in
which the town board must decide such application by sixty-two (62) days.
(4) In determining such request for a waiver the town board shall consider the following:
(a) Whether there is public funding involved for the proposed project, the source
thereof and the amount in relation to the total project cost;
(b) Whether the proposed project would serve an existing under or un-served
population of the town;
(c) Whether the proposed project would benefit public centers such as schools,
community centers, fire stations, etc.;
(d) Whether a similar or the same designed tower is proposed on multiple sites;
(e) The completeness and sufficiency of the application and the supporting
Page 3 of 15
TB 4-21-10
documentation submitted therewith as required by Local Law No. 2 of the year
2006;
(f) Whether it is in the overall public interest to waive a portion of the fees
and/or deposit.
2. This local law shall take effect upon filing with the Secretary of State and shall apply
only to the application filed on or after the effective date.

Commission for the community center grants.
Infrastructure awards were made as recommended. Criteria for awards was reviewed.
Awards were made in order or priority.
It was noted that almost $60,000 was applied for. There was a recommendation by the
DRC that if the board wished to award something to every community center, they should
consider raising the total allocation to $25,600, and award $600.00 to Bethel Grove
Community Center for resurfacing their gym floor. Supv Sumner said the request by Bethel
Grove can be done next year. Atty Perkins noted the award to Dryden Caf6 for the ramp is to
leasehold property. M Bianconi said the landlord has approved the improvement.

the applications and recommending awards.

Dryden Lake Festival - Resolution will be available next month. Date of the event is
August 14. This event should grow and become a tradition. It is currently a grass roots effort
with a great group of people behind it.
Montgomery Park - A meeting was held tonight at the cafe. The committee has a lot of
good ideas about how the park functions and what can be done to rehabilitate the park. It is
being set up to be a multi -generational, multi -use space and will accommodate a variety of
community events. Open space for passive and unplanned recreation will be preserved. The
fence around the old tennis courts will be removed, the backstop will be removed, and the
shrubs will be trimmed so that the park is more visible from West Main Street. A new entrance
is being planned.
The Flash Light Easter egg hunt was a huge success with about 300 attendees. The
daytime hunt had about 150 families.
COUNTY BRIEFING
Martha Robertson reported that the Town of Dryden and Tompkins County have good
return rates for the census.
The County has a budget retreat next week. The preliminary estimate is that a
maintenance of effort budget will require a 12% levy increase.
TCCOG has formed a gas drilling task force. They will have six sub -committees
covering roads, DEC, land use, water quality, public safety, and social and economic impacts.
DRYDEN AMBULANCE
The board has previously received and reviewed a request from Dryden Ambulance to
increase their rates. The last time rates were increased was in 2008. Increases reflect the
increased cost of doing business. Approximately $60,000 in unpaid bills is written off by the
company each year. Other companies' rates are still higher than Dryden Ambulance. They are
not increasing their mileage rate ($10.00 per mile), though other companies' rates are
significantly higher. They have asked for an additional increase for 2011, but because the
current contract expires December 31, 2010, that increase will be addressed at contract
renewal.
RESOLUTION #64 - APPROVE RATE INCREASE FOR
DRYDEN AMBULANCE, INC.
Supv Sumner offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption.
RESOLVED, that this Town Board hereby approves rate increases for Dryden
Ambulance, Inc. as follows, effective immediately:

Supv Sumner said they had previously discussed the possibility of a matching grant up
to a certain amount. Cl Makar said the Library is actually trying to raise $150,000, so they are

Re: Notice of Unacceptable Practice, 5 Freese Road
Gentlemen,
On Thursday April I", of this year our staff was out doing inventory of stormwater control infrastructure when they
came upon the drop inlet at 5 Freese Road shown in the attached photo. On April 8u`, the condition remained.
As you'll observe, the inlet protection for sediment and contaminate has been seriously compromised by firewood
processing. The drop inlet protection is part of an approved stormwater management plan at 5 Freese Road which
must be maintained.
As I have stressed before, ongoing maintenance of stormwater infrastructure is even more critical than initial
installation.
Typically the most serious threat to clean water is during construction and the period immediately following
construction.
These two periods generally find soil devoid of vegetation which slow run-off and filters eroding material.
Water handling infrastructure is also most vulnerable during these times which is why they generally are protected.
The hap hazardous placement of firewood has compromised all protection of the drop inlet.
Attached for your assistance is a copy of New York State guidelines for construction and protection of storm drains.
Please immediately repair and protect the subject stormwater drop inlet as prescribed by these guidelines.
Also, the facility entrance should be re -stoned as dirt debris is beginning to accumulate on Dryden Road.
For questions, please call 844-8888 ext. 213, Monday — Friday 8AM — 4PM.
Very truly yours,
Henry M. Slater, Director of Building, Zoning and Environmental Department

This Memorandum shall be effective upon execution. It is further agreed that both
parties to this Agreement will work cooperatively to assure the maximum benefit to the
