AUTOMOTIVE BUSINESS AT 301 S OFIELD ROAD
upv Sumner ap(tned the public hearing at 7.02 p.m. and read the notice published in
The Ithaca Journal_ 13oard inemlbers have [,Ca�aies of the application end supporting
informatiom SLIPV Sumner nal'od that the Highway S'uperiritendent is not concerned about
traffic on the road_
Barth Mapes, 11.4 Scofield Road, said he owns two properties on Scofield Road and. one
of those borders the applicant's property. His feeling and that of others on the road is that the
application should be denied. This used to he primarily an agricultural neighborhood, and now
is very much residential. If the a pp] ica.tiorn is granted, the change in use of the property would
degrade the value of his property. It would change the way neighbors could use their }property
and change the value of their property. He noted most of the residen6a] properties are on the
Lansing side of Scorield Road. Mr Mapes presented a petition asking that the, special use
permit not be granted signed by several neighbors. Reasons cited are negative impact: or]
property values of residential properties in that section of the road, setting a precedent for
future commercial ventures in the neighborhood, concerns. far nois< L and traffic, and air quality.
Pat Pryor, 150 Scofield Road, lives across road from applicant. °s property and shares the
same conecrrns. She said the signatures on the petition represent all the property owners on
the road between 34B and Asbury Road except one_ She also has concerns regarding water
(runtamination and runoff to wcl1s and septic systems, Photos of neighboring properties were
shared and she said they demon stra.te that this is clearly a well -kept neighborhood. An auto
repair shop is not appropriatc there,

'Phis will be a part time business - he has a full time job_ ThrL neighbors' concerns are valid,
but vehicles running are not different than using a remote start with respect to pollution.
There is no wetland there_ Thcy have to raise the property up for the base of the garage. The
type of repair they will be doing will not cause a lot of noise. There will be no increased traffic,
ill will be part -time, evenings and weekends.
Kalendra Solat said she grew up in the house where they plan to put the business.
Advertisement will be word of rnoul.h_ They currently rent: office space in Ithaca and would like
to consolidate the business to their home. They may move the garage they plan to build closer
to their home.
Applicant P Solat currently has a New Fork State retail auto dealers license acid buys
and sells used cars one car at a time_ They don't currently have a repair business, hu €. do
repairs and tires on vehicles they sell and are looking to expand that. This will not be a junk
yard. There will be an oversized garage that looks like part of the residential property, and that
w'II allow him In lcga.11y do auto repair in New York_ There will be no tires and parts visible and
disposal of used parts and fluids will be dealt with appropriately_
P Solat said he understands the neighborhood_ It is residentia and well -kept, but it is

Supv Sumner said that similar special use permits granted by th<_ town have required
creerni.ng from the road, lirniting the number of cars on the property at any given dime and
keeping rars behind the building.

Supv Sumner opened the public h(;z�ring at 7.42 p. in. and Town Clerk B Avery read the
notice published in The Ithaca ,iournal. Lisa Van gellow, of Verizon Wireless, explained that
VeH24)n has made an application to make minor modifications to an existing tower site a1, 204
Walker Road. These mc�clifications are necessary because (if technology changes that require
different equipment, They are proposing i10 exchange the antennas on the tower. The will
remove 3 omniwhip antennas and replace them with 6 panel antennas and six runs of coax
cable. This will make a total of 12 panel iurtennas on the tower_ There will be no changes to
the equiprnenl, on ground or within the Ieased area on the ground. All necessary and required
in jL orrn 4 tion has been provided to ,jefi` Kirby and 2;O Slater_
J Kirb y soid it was a straight forward Application and was css[.ntially envisioned the

application in the future_ There are some conditions that need to be addressed. There are no
significant outstanding items.

® ZO Slater said J Kirby's October 8 recommendation summarizes the conditions the
Board should consider. The applicant in this case is offering to provide more recent
technology, better coverage, and better equipment, which is one of the primary goals of the
2006 tower legislation amendment.
Crown Castle owns the tower and is responsible for maintaining tower and inspections.
They have submitted a letter indicating their willingness to address the condition of the access
road. This tower was constructed in 1996, prior to the Town having any regulations for
telecommunications towers. Sprint and Nextel are also on this tower and approved co- location
tenants.
There were no public comment or questions from board.
The board reviewed the special use permit worksheet.
a)
Whether
Section 1303.1 requirements have been met. - Yes
b)
Whether
the location, use and nature, and intensity of operation will be in conflict
antenna
with the
allowed uses of the zone or neighborhood. - No
c)
Whether
the use will be more objectionable or depreciating to adjacent and nearby
properties (by reason of traffic, noise, vibration, dust, fumes, smoke, odor, fire,
hazard, glare, flashing lights or disposal of waste or sewage) than operation of the
allowed uses of the zone. - No
d)
Whether
the use will discourage or hinder the appropriate development and use of
adjacent
properties or neighborhood. - No
e)
Whether
a non - residential use adjacent to an existing residential use shall be
screened
by a. landscaped buffer strip or suitable fencing. - N/A
fJ
Whether
health, safety and general welfare of the community may be adversely
affected.
- No
g)
Whether
or not a Stormwater Management; permit is necessary. If so, has one been
submitted, and if so, is it acceptable? N/A
The board reviewed the SEQR Part II.
G I•Ianley of Verizon said this is a new technology that will be offered. They have four
different licenses for four different frequencies in the area. Right now they are using only their
850 license and their PCS license on an adjacent. This site will use the PCS license on this site
for added voice service and the 750 megahertz antenna will be for their future LTE high speed
network. This will cover basically the whole village of Dryden with wireless high speed data,
The board reviewed the visual addendum and found no concerns.

CITIZENS PRIVILEGE
Marie McRae, of Dryden Resources Awareness Coalition (DRAG) - read a statement and
submitted it to the board. She offered a few observations on proposed protections with respect
to hydrofracking. She said no regulations can prevent. heavy metals and other substances from
coming to surface with the gas. No regulations can find the funding to construct waste
treatment plants that might be able to filter the toxic chemicals and other materials from
fracking waste. No regulations can prevent: chemicals from remaining underground or
migrating. regulation will not prevent the squandering of fresh water that becomes
contaminated permanently in the process.
Foreign countries own a majority of leases and any profit and gas will go overseas. The
Governor has reduced DEC staff to levels laughable in light of what is planned. No regulation
can make the process safe. There is scant oversight_ Much of this activity happens in the
middle of woods and in the middle of the night.
She urged the board to follow the lead of the Pittsburgh City Council and ban
hydrofracking process outright. (statement attached)
Hilary Lambert, of DRAC, thanked the board for their work and responsiveness to date,
including considering an industrial noise ordinance. They are now asking the board to
consider an ordinance that would ban hydrofracking in the Town of Dryden. Pittsburg, PA has
just done this. 3,000 signatures have been collected to ban hydrofracking in Norwich in
Chenango County. A petition campaign has been launched in the Town of Ulysses. DRAC has
started a petition drive to provide support. and encouragement to the board to take this action.
They successfully collected 300mA.00 signatures on previous petitions on related matters.
Wording of the petition was read to the board.
Joanne Cipolla Dennis, of DRAG, expressed gratitude to the Town board for working
on all issues concerning the Town, and to C1 Leifer and members of DRAG for their work_ She
submitted a statement that: tells of her experience attending EPA hearings in Pittsburgh a few
months ago. People have experienced death of cattle, stillborn and deformed calves, and
having to carry fresh water. Some of their children are sick while at home and fine at school.
® She said research has revealed that horizontal fracking is uncontrollable and unpredictable.

There is catastrophic damage wherever methane development takes place. Many suffer health
issues from feeling the threat and stress of losing it all.
Methane gas is a fossil fuel at least 20 times more powerful than CO2. We don't. have to
frack for methane gas. It can be made above ground without creating toxic substances
through Anaerobic. Methane Digesters from dairy farms and from sewage treatment plants.
J Cipolla- Dennis said we don't need to spend any more time, money or energy on the
subject of gas development in Dryden to address this except for a permanent ban. She moved
here four years ago and built a beautiful green home and now finds that neighbors on three
sides have signed leases. They are surrounded by hundreds of acres of leased property. She
was going to start a project to provide affordable housing for people with disabilities, but will
not invest in that project unless she feels safe. She respectfully demands that the Town
protect: her right to live without dangerous industrial development and protect her right to
clean water and air. (statement attached)
Dave Christie, said he has lived on krone Plain Road since 1984. We hear a lot of
propaganda from the gas industry that fracking has been going on for 40 years and not a single
groundwater source has been polluted. That is simply not true. They are talking about low
volume vertical wells, not horizontal high volume slickwater (racking that has only been used
in the last six or eight years. At a recent talk in Danby he learned (from the industry's own
records) that 98% of the wells drilled in Pennsylvania don't leak or cause a problem with the
groundwater. That means that 2% do. Wells with a higher rate of failure (around Dimock, PA)
were removed. Each well pad is a minimum of five acres. The drill rigs are over 100' tall with a
ilashing light on top and lights down the side. `!'here is a huge holding pond for wastewater
that comes back up from a well. The drilling happens 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for about
6 months or more. There is a huge amount of noise. Great amounts of water are used for each
fracking operation (over 5 million gallons) that must be trucked in. Roads are torn up by the
trucks. The drill rigs are left permanently because when production drops, they come back
and re- frack. D Christie said if the town is concerned about a small amount of pollution from
an auto repair garage, these wells will make that seem laughable. The density in which they
are proposed is one every couple hundred acres. Flight now the only difference between us and
what is happening in Pennsylvania is the sort of de -facto moratorium that's been put in place.
That is not permanent or sure. Tle asked Town to take local control to the extent that we can.
Other local governments around the stage are trying to do the same thing. The more voices in
that corner, the better the chances that this can be stopped before what is happening in
Pennsylvania happens here.
Joanne Cipolla- Dennis said that Ben Price, who is the lead attorney for these matters in
Pittsburgh, has written her and offered his assistance here.
Supv Sumner said she appreciates the amount of work the group has done and
thanked them. Maybe we will begin to grasp the true cost of natural gas. Perhaps the
sustainability projects that we are embarking on will help address howl much of what: we
consume is produced by natural gas and how we are planning to avoid that.
Joe Wilson said some of them have been doing research on economic development,
because that is the more typical :argument for the fracking. That is simply not true. Monies
generated will leave the community and local taxpayers will pay to renovate the infrastructure,
driving up our tax rates.
Supv Sumner said there is no process in place to address an outright ban, but they are
working on road protection, noise, and protection of critical environmental areas.
11age 7 of L5
Cl Leifer said the only way to begun to address this is through zoning. Supv Sumner
40 said we could address industrial uses and this could be onto industridl'uS[_. She feels that
would be mDre successful than simply banning fracking. if we zone industrial uses to where
they might conceivably be passible, that and wtbacks would pretty much 1x_ successful- Cl
Leifer said articles have been written that indicate you axe buying into a law suit by zoning
agEd nst it.
Martha Robertson said they are pursuing a ban in the Town of Ulysses. Supv Sumner
slid the ` own' Environmental Ylanncr it5 prr:tl: }' [lurrgn� ors ik- f1+1 F�Ok7erkSC�n mid there is a
court precedent that it can be zoned out of the municipality. You can't regulate it like the DEC
can, butyou can have land use authority-
Kevin Mayer, DRAG, said there is a nailional agency 11(i help municipalities that is
ofcering fine Support and services,
D Christie suggested the Town might restrict height of drilling rig.
Joanne Cipolla- Dennis said tir�ie is of the essence- '] here will be drilling this summer,
Marty Hatch said he supports the efforl, of an outright bzun and urged the board to take
the step forward and don't be frightencd-
M Ferger said there is a huge surplus of natural gas at the moment. A 8horkage would
push us to find aIterna.tive clean energy sources.

Atty Perkins said that there is an interesting dilemma here. The State wants you to
enact a dog law pursuant: to a statute which dons not take effect until January 1, 2011. He
doesn't know whether that is subject to challenge or not. He added that he believes there is
authority pursuant to the Municipal Home Rule to do it anyway. That is why the wording in
the statutory authority paragraph is the way it is. B Avery pointed out that there are 1,063
licensing municipalities across the state that are in the same position. The stage has also
directed that we pay monies over to an entity that is yet to be chosen. Supv Sumner asked
Atty Perkins to put together appropriate "whereases" for the resolution adopting the law.
B Avery reported that there was a recent laurel in The Ithaca Journal regarding work
done by the Town's dog control officer. She added that this month the Leonards received a
letter addressed to them at the town thanking them for the dog they had adopted and
contributing $100 to their shelter.
HIGHWAY /DPW DEPARTMENT

Salt storage building -The Town has received a proposal from Novelli for inspection to

A Sciarabba said that Novelli would check the structure of the salt storage building in
accordance with New York State minimum snow loads. The letter that J Bush received earlier

about their structure meeting those load requirements. They had plans to do their own

Oakbrook Drive - J Bush explained that he has an opportunity to acquire a parcel of
property on Oakbrook Drive for a snowplow turn- around and access to the Parke -Dabcs
property the town now owns. This would also solve some problems for the property owner.
This would be a swap for an exchange of work and the town would end up with ownership of
this small piece of property. This is essentially an extension of Oak Brook Drive and would fix
some erosion issues and problems with the ditch. The turnaround area would be increased.
The cost is estimated at $6,500. J Bush asked the board for authorization to continue

COUNTY BRIEFING
Martha Robertson said the county budget was passed. it's not pretty, but it's done.
She is on the NYSAC commission about Medicaid and they met in Albany last week. Medicaid
has been instructed by the state legislature to prepare for the state taking over administration
of Medicaid (about 2% of the cost of Medicaid). This could actually cost counties more money.
They were told the plan they are writing now for the November 30 deadline is a plan to plan.
One of the purposes is to get the stake ready for federal health care reform and insurance
exchanges. She is hoping this is part of a comprehensive effort. It would not be effective or
efficient to reorganize such a big health insurance program and Medicaid and then have to do
it again to comply with federal requirements.
Supv Sumner said she appreciates the efforts our County Legislators made to exert
restraint and yet provide services. M Robertston said the county staff roster is down by 25.5

full time equivalents, and even though there were votes to add spending back to the budget,
they were actually cuts compared to 2010. Municipal youth services ended up with a cut of
almost half from the 2010 budget.
M Robertson noted that if nine state mandates were removed, the tax bill on an average
home would go from $1,026 to $258.
Mike Lane said he did not support the county budget because he felt it was too high a
tax levy tax increase, but he is proud of the open process.
The Facilities Committee is applying for a green grant through DEC to build an
experimental wetland on the Caswell Road dump to see if the wetland can process the leachate
from the old dump. This has been successful in other areas. The benefit would be not having
to truck the leachate to the Ithaca Area Wastewater Treatment Facility,
There will be a wildlife assessment done at the airport with most of the cost paid
through an FAA grant program. This is because of a collision with a deer and a small plane on
the runway. The state pays 12% of the cost.
The Broadband Committee is under way and chaired by Pat Pryor. He is looking
forward to their recommendations on how to bring access to rural areas.
The County is proceeding with a law for protection of road rights -of -way from temporary
high volume truck traffic from temporary projects (gas drilling and other projects). It provides
for posting of those areas and bonding by the contractors to make sure that the roads are
protected. There will be a permitting process and roads will be restored if damaged. This will
be discussed tomorrow at the government operations committee. TCCOG is also looking at the
issue, but the County wants to move forward with something. The County can replace their
law in the future if they feel it is necessary.
Aquifer protection laws are important. M Lane said that will help with protection of
drinking water and at the least protect our aquifers. He urged the Town to move forward with
its aquifer protection law.

cell tower initiative project will soon get going. There are

Cortland Road Water issue - Supv Sumner reported that at a meeting with Jack Bush,
Cl Solomon, Andy Sciarabba and Atty Perkins on Tuesday, they agreed to ask the board to
authorize expenditure of funds for preparation of a map, plan and report for (a) a small water
district along Route 13, and (b) Urger district encompassing the Cortland Road Sewer area_ In
the meantime, the Village has sent letters to residents terminating service by February 28.
There may be an opportunity to extend the deadline to accommodate some planning. It:
is likely that the expense of replacing that water main alone is more than property owners can
bear. The urgency is removed if these residents go ahead and drill wells.
Supv Sumner would still like to ask for authorization for a map, plan and report for a
larger district. There may not be much point in a smaller district unless there is a reasonable
chance of getting the Village to extend the deadline. The Village's deadline was motivated by a
notice received frorn the Tompkins County Health Department,
Supv Sumner will attend the Village meeting tomorrow night to hear residents'
comments and the board's comments. There may be an opportunity to delay the deadline.
Atty Perkins has prepared two proposed resolutions, and suggested the board delete the
part authorizing TG Miller to move ahead. The board can pass the resolution appropriating the
funds. That will allow 30 days for the board to figure out whether to proceed with one or the
other. TG Miller will not begin work unless and until directed by the board.
Supv Sumner questioned whether to move ahead with a meeting of the residents of
North Road. She said she has had conversations with several key players. Ed Bell suggests
installation of a 1" copper line from Lee Road to be shared by some of the affected properties.
But they don't want to put a lot of money into that solution if it turns out there is a municipal
solution around the corner. The Village has asked for a task force. Supv Sumner asked Cl
Solomon and Cl Stelick as the Town's infrastructure Committee to contact them.
A Sciarabba said they did look at the numbers in the MR" report that estimated
$400,000 for replacement of water main and felt that the per foot cost was very high. The
urgency of fixing the main may qualify the project: for low or no cost. interest. on financing.

My comments tonight are a paraphrase of words penned by Carl Arnold, member, Sierra Club
Atlantic Chapter Gas Grilling ]"ask force
isSome of us in this room have given considerable time and thought over the past year or two,
working on ways to Protect our town residents and infrastructure, our land and water, from ills
threatened by an industry using high volume slick water hydraulic fracturing to extract fossil gas
from our earth.
I would like to offer a few observations about proposed protections.
No regulation can prevent the heavy metals and radioactive substances loosened by this process
from coming to the earth's surface with the gas.
No regulation, in this time of economic plummet, can find the billions needed to construct waste
treatment plants that might, might be able to filter the toxic chemicals, heavy metals and
radioactive materials from fracking waste.
No regulation can prevent 30% to 70% of the toxic (racking chemicals from remaining
underground.
No regulation can predict or control the underground migration of toxic plumes.
In this era of diminishing availability of fresh water in
extraordinary squandering of fresh water - -5.5 million
becomes contaminated permanently.
At present, Japanese, Indian, European, Scandinavian,
significant portion of US drilling leases. After despoil]
their gas will go overseas.
the US, No regulation can prevent the
gallons average per well -- 100% of which
and Canadian corporations own a
ng our land, water and air, their profit and
Even while New York State is planning to issue permits to drill and Crack in our state forests, the
governor has reduced the Department of Environmental Conservation's budget and staff to
minimal levels, laughably inadequate to deal with what the industry has planned.
Oil & gas corporations have a long - established record of being rapacious, sloppy and inhumane,
whether it's the Ecuadorian Amazon, the Niger Delta, Indonesia; Prince William Sound, the Gulf
of Mexico or Pennsylvania.
No regulation can make the process of high volume, slick water hydraulic fracturing safe. It is a
human implemented, labor intensive process with scant oversight. Unlike other industrial
processes, this one happens in the middle of the woods and in the middle of the night. Mishaps,
accidents and bad decisions will occur.
There is only one way to render this practice safe: Follow the lead of the Pittsburgh City Council
and Ban it. Outright. Unequivocally. That is the only rational response to this proposed industrial
destruction. Anything less dooms us.

0 Town Board of Dryden,
First, I want to extend my gratitude to each member and to Bambi for dedicating
your time, energy and care in working on all issues concerning Dryden as it
continues to grow in a responsible, sustainable manner.
I must also add special thanks to Jason Liefer and each member of the DRAC
organization that I joined about 16 months ago. The in depth research to uncover
what the true realities are when drilling for methane gas via the unconventional
practice of horizontal hydro fracking is not a pleasant task. In the words of Mayor
Tillman of Dish, Texas now suffering health consequences from drilling, "once
you know, you can't not know"
There are now faces and stories I cannot forget. While attending the Pittsburgh
EPA hearings a few months ago I listened to 4' /z hours of speakers express
disgust and anger toward their community and state leaders for allowing the
industry into residential areas and farmlands.
Grown people fighting tears, stated:
"I had 5 goats, they all died, they were my kids ",
"my father is dead from drinking the water",
"my calves were stillborn and deformed because my cows drank the water"
"my kids are sick at home and fine at school" ,
"I had to get rid of all my horses because I couldn't carry water anymore"
The research has revealed that horizontal fracking is uncontrollable and
unpredictable at best. Other events including flaring and explosions beneath the
surface of our properties and aquifers are a reality in this practice. We have seen
so much collateral and catastrophic damage to health, homes, land, air and clean
water across this country wherever methane development takes place I can say
without doubt it has affected each of us in profound ways and many of us suffer
health issues brought on by the relentless feeling of threat and stress of loosing it
all, moving, and fighting for our basic right to live without toxins found in drilling
practices.
Methane gas is a fossil fuel, at least 20 times more powerful than CO2. How can
we come to the conclusion that spending our time, our money and risk our food
sources, our clean air and water to drill for a harmful, limited, gas, that creates
unprecedented amounts of CO2 emissions to refine and deliver? Why would we
® do that?
Use Methane - OK but we don't have to frack for it. We can make it above the
ground without creating toxic substances — through Anaerobic Methane
Digesters from our dairy farms.
If we cannot get any more gas by vertical wells. In short, it's gone, we don't need
to spend any more time, money and energy on the subject of gas development in
Dryden to address this issue any further except for a permanent ban. I am so
tired of the word fracking. I cannot continue to spend time in an area that even
thinks it will be permitted.
I moved here 4 years ago, built a beautiful green home and 2 years into our build
we find our neighbors on 3 sides signed leases. We are now literally surrounded
by hundreds of acres of leased property. My significant financial investment will
be a total loss if I cannot live in my home. I was about to start a project that would
have provided affordable housing for people with disabilities. However, I cannot
invest in that project until I feel safe here. Without the BAN I will never feel safe
because I won't be.
I am respectfully demanding that my Town protect my right to live without
dangerous industrial development in my backyard and protect my right to clean
water and air.
The swipe of my neighbors' pen should not be able to destroy my home, health,
clean air and water and the right to grow food and raise animals in a safe
environment free of industrial toxins. It is either the swipe of their pen or yours
that determines my fate. Should people be able to do what they want with their
land -yes - but not at the expense of every one else's health and safety.
Ironically; I use the infamous words of B.P.'s CEO Tony Hayward
"I want MY life back"
Respectfully I ask you to use your pen.
Joanne Cipolla- Dennis
Petition to ban slickwater horizontal hydrofracking in the Town of Dryden
We, the undersigned residents of the Town of Dryden, believe that high volume, slickwater horizontal
hydrofracking for gas extraction threatens our water and our air.
*Allowing this practice in our community will significantly endanger our health and well- being.
Hydrofracking is a heavily industrialized process that in surrounding states has snarled traffic and caused
significant air, water and noise pollution, and severe damage to roads and other infrastructure. In many places
it has had deleterious effects on tourism, hunting, fishing, agriculture and the local economy in general.
We urge the Town Board to ban slickwater horizontal hydrofracking in the Town of Dryden
