PUBLIC HEARING
UNSAFE STRUCTURE
114 IRISH SETTLEMENT ROAD
Supv Sumner explained this proceeding has to do with a barn at 114 Irish Settlement
• Road owned by Paul Cook . A portion of the building is dangerous and unsafe . Code
Enforcement Officers have asked the town board to order the removal of that section and make
the remaining structure secure.
Paul Cook said he has he has been getting estimates and is trying to get financing to
repair the barn . There are no workers in that part of the barn , but there are a few heifers in
the barn . He doesn 't believe it is in any danger of falling down .
Supv Sumner said it appears he has plans to fix it, an estimate , and someone to do the
work, but doesn 't have the funds to do it. P Cook said that is correct.
Craig Anderson said he visited the site with Code Enforcement Officers Ezell and
Sprout. He said they walked away with the understanding that it will not collapse in the near
future , though the roof is caved in . In his opinion , what is standing is structurally sound . The
owner has put up caution tape .
K Ezell said he doesn 't sec that there is a change in the condition of the building. What
is standing appears to be structurally sound and it doesn 't appear that it will fall over. If it was
secured against entry (more than caution tape) , then that might be one thing. He recommends
securing with plywood or barn board . If the doors work , they should be closed. Caution tape
would give a visual warning, but not stop entry . Snow fence might keep out small children .
Cl Stelick said the building has been in disrepair for quite some time . In July of
201, 1 the property owner was consulted and nothing has happened since . P Cook said he did
come in and discuss the matter with Dan Kwasnowski .
• L Lavine asked whether the building was stable .
Page I of 11
TB 3- 15- 12
Supv Sumner said the code officer's report says the building is open at the end walls
making it accessible to and an object of attraction to minors as well as vagrants and
trespassers . It is unfit for the purpose for which it may be lawfully used
Cl Lavine said she had been under the impression that this was a hazard and that
d.oesn 't seem to be the case . CO Ezell said it is an attractive nuisance . It could fall in on
someone or they could walk in to a spot that would give way. Someone could enter the
building and start a fire or cause other problems,
Bruno Schickel agrees that caution tape is not a good barrier. He recommended use of
physical barrier like a snowfence . That would reduce the risk to the public .
Ci Stelick said he believed the code enforcement officers should visit the site with the
property owner and come up with a plan to at least minimize the risk short term, and then the
propert}, owner should come up with a long term plan for this, The property owner has been
given notice and this situation didn 't happen overnight.
Supv Sumner said code enforcement has been working on this. The property must be
made safe and has now become a team wide liability . She agrees with one more month to come
up with a plan . Cl Leifer asked that they put up snowfeoce in the meantime, H Ezell said the
west side of the structure needs to be secured .
Sups Sumner said she would like a plan for repair or demolition by the end of the
summer.
R Szymanski asked Sups Sumner to explain the town 's liability. She said once a
building is recognized by the town to be unsafe , she assumes them is some town liability .
. •
Atty Perkins said the town has a local law regarding collapsed buildings , and a report
from code enforcement that it is unsafe . If someone were injured them, they could probably
take action against town _ Whether they were successful is another matter. The town would be
subject to ridicule because it does not enforce its local laws.
Lloyd Ki.mmich said this is no different than someone getting in your house and getting
hurt. If this barn was on another road out in the country , the town probably wouldn't pay any
attention to it and it would he the same safety buildings . he said them is house on Route 13
that appears to be unoccupied and is falling down and the town hasn 't done anything about
ttxat , he doesn 't understand why this has happened .
Sups Sumner said the town evaluates things on a case by case basis , That house he
referred to is boarded up and not open to the public. It's not the same situation _
Atty Perkins said the Order requites that work be commenced within 30 days and
completed within 50 days of service of the notice . The Board could grant an extension of time
for commencement and completion of work to whatever period of time the board believes is
reasonable, Notice was served February 17 , 2011 .
After discussion , the board decided to extend the Order 45 days . hi Lavine will make
arrangements with the property on.ner to view the structure prior to that time ,

PUBLIC HEARING
UNSAFE STRUCTURE
BONE PLAIN ROAD
Supv Sumner explained this matter involves a residence at 473 Bone Data Road that
has been posted against occupation since November of 20 .10 ,
Property owner, Ellen Ross said she and a friend have started working on the property_
She plans to sed the two ears and move things from the house to the shed, She said the house
is good inside and the furnace is now , but she didn 't have money for propane so they took the
tank . She will do things as she has money .
Supv Sumner said the problem is that is not safe to Live there , and she knows that it is
not getting better , E Ross said the building is safe , and she will work on it as she has money .
• She has been paying on the mortgage and doesn 't want to lose the house . It is perfectly good
inside and she needs to rearrange things inside . dupe Sumner said it is not safe to live in , and
you are not allowed to have a storage building without a house there, It has been posted as
unsafe to live in,
The problems include an excessive accumulation of items inside the home . The code
enforcement officials climbed over stuff to gain access to the home , There is o narrow path
through the accumulated items that allow limited access, A side covered entrance appears to
be falling away from the main house and is so full of items that you can 't reach the door_ The
addition is so full that looking in you cannot see any of the windows or doors of the original
part of the home and cannot travel beyond the entry way . Because of a leak the home has
been without water since 2010 _ The status of the septic system is unknown , The furnace has
been out of service for many years_ The wood stow has been removed or disconnected. The
home was posted against occupancy because it is unfit for human occupancy . It is unsafe
because of the degree to which it is in disrepair, is unsanitary , vermin or rat infested, contains
filth and lacks maintenance , lacks ventilation , illumination , and sanitary heating facilities or
other essential equipment as required by the code .
E Ross said she has put stuff in there and did not want: people in . She said the house
is structurally sound . The furnace is only four years old _ The roof isn 't falling in and the hack
is certainly okay.
Cl Stelick noted the report of code enforcement states the roof is sang and there is
clear evidence along the caves of extensive deterioration . The front exterior wall is rotted at
grade and it appears the framing members are rotted as well . The large front window pane has
popped out of the frame and the sills are rotted . Other windows are broken and inoperable _ E
• Ross disagrees and said there is no reason to tear the house down ,
rage iFt
'I•B 3 - 15- 12
Cl Lavine said there are two issues here and one is a hoarding issue. E Ross said she
can take stuff out . She is a fabric artist and needs her materials , her clothes and her books .
Cl Lavine said if the stuff could be removed the house , there could be a cost analysis to
see whether the house is worth fixing,
Supv Sumner said nothing has gotten better since code enforcement started working on
this.
E Ross said her belongings will not be hauled away _ Once you can get in , you can see
the place is structurally sound . There are no leaks in the house except where the furnace pipe
goes out and in the entry nay . The town is trying to deprive her of her home_
Supv Sumner said she will consider an extension . She will come and visit . if a
subtantial amount of stuff is moved in a week, she could visit and report on that. She would
like to see ten square feet of stuff removed by next Friday .
There was a question about whether someone could have a storage building on their
property if there is no residence , and whether the building can be considered a residence
because it had been pasted against occupancy .
B Schickel asked if this is the only option or can the Town remove everything from it
and then investigate whether there is an in between _ Houses with rotted sills and eves can be
fixed _ A lot of homes are packed to the rafters and create dangerous situations ,
Cl Leifer said he would be agreeable to giving her an extension.
Code Enforcement Officer p Sprout said the only reason it is posted against occupancy
is because she let him in . In his hind it is still a residence, but has been posted against
occupancy . The electrical mast has tone away from the roof. The roof is failing and the
exterior is deteriorating . It isn't accessible because there is so much stuff in it, There are a lot
of issues . If it were cleaned out , they might be able to assess whether it can be fixed . 5 Ross is
resistant to help.
Supv Sumner said the condition of property is affecting neighbors.
CI Leifer asked if rho could board up windows , etc so no one could get inside if that
would address the public safety question_
babe Sumner said E Rose has told the Judge several times she will clean it up and then
nothing happens , The board agreed to allow an extension ,

Supv Sumner said people wishing to speak during the citizens privilege portion of the
agenda should sign in and limit their comments to three minutes . She added that the board is
trying to keep public comment to this portion of the meeting, rather than have interjections
during the meeting_
CITIZENS PRIVILEGE
Tim Woods, 118 Johnson Road , said he is speaking as the coordinator for the Dryden
farmers committee that has been formed , and presented a petition to establish a Dryden
Agricultural Advisory Committee, a formal committee that the mown board would establish and
recognize and use in an advisory method . He read the petition that was presented containing
approximately 30 signatures gathered in the last few days . He also presented the resumes of 6
farmers that are interested in serving on an Agricultural Advisory Committee .
Evan Carpenter, 2263 Dryden Road , read a statement from the Farmers Committee
requesting that the town board delay voting on the proposed CLAs until the Conservation
Board has been given a minimum of 60 days to re-write the proposal _ They would like the
process to include procedures similar to those used when designating the unique natural areas
in the town , consultation with landowners in each proposed CEA _ They would like a complete
list of the criteria, lists, etc used in designating the CEAs . The vote should also be delayed until
• the Agricultural Advisory Committee has been established and had time to review and
comment on the Cdhe , and until after public hearings have been held to discuss the re-write .
Supv Sumner said she has a message from the Chair of Conservation death that they
are requesting additional time to deliberate on the critical environmental areas proposal .
Ron Szymanski, Johnson Road , said if you look at the DEC website , it shows one CEA
in Tompkins County. That is a disconnect from the 30 plus proposed in the Town. There
needs to be more study on this issue . The one that is there is designated for an area that is
exceptional or unique . This is a tool that can be used in a municipality, but it is em extreme
tool . We need to keep that in perspective _
Dan Schmohe , 2035 Dryden Road , said the Dryden Lake Festival (to be held July 28)
would like to provide camping for event participants_ They have applied for a permit through.
DEC and was told Town must also approve carnbing. The reason for this is that some of the
participants in the triathlon would like to camp because of the distance they come from _ They
also want to provide early access for people setting up concessions. The Revolutionary War
people would also like to camp overnight_ A copy of the application was left for the board to
review .
Supv Sumner said she will. check with departments and the board will vote on this next
month ,
Bruno Schickel , dfd Schutt Road , urged the board to take the farmers proposal
seriously_ Their prosperity is vital to keeping and preserving the very things we love about the
area . de hopes the board would give greater consideration to the needs of the farmers and
• what they need to prosper so that can help present the landscape_

continuing to support that program . They are looking at more than 330 participants this year
The program is growing by leaps and bounds . He apologized for his last visit to a town board
meeting He may have been harsh in the way he ended his speech and apologized for that. He
still believes that property taxes am out of control . When it comes to budget season , look at
• three different types of budgets and start a citizen advisory board for finance ,
Hugo Sumner moved the Bolton Point UAW contract up on the agenda. The contract
has been approved by the personnel Committee . hobo Sumner thinks it is a well -negotiated
contract, with a 2% increase each year . it provides for fully paid health insurance until 2014

from the independent redistricting committee .
There are not a lot of changes in the Town of Dryden . Most of the changes are in the City of
Ithaca . Town Districts 13 and I4 will have some changes in the Caswell Road area,_ District
14 will lose some population and District 13 will gain some . The Town will have an opportunity
to weigh in on this in the future. The City is looking at a proposal of having 5 city wards or 4
city wards that are coterminous with the four districts .
The county is proceeding to fund a contract with IaBella Engineers for administration
of a road protection law , They need a way to determine the status of roads before and after
Projects within the confines of the new law. They looked at Delta and other firms , and LaBelle
stood out for them . They have a higher level of road management than some of the towns do,
and hope some of the information they produce will be useful to the towns as well.
M Lane said he understands the town now has a map of the aquifer, and hopes that it
will move an aquifer protection law forward _ Supv dumper said she is hoping to it have on the
agenda for discussion next month .
M Lane and Cl Leifer discussed a resolution that the cable cornmissian would like
passed by municipalities with respect to negotiating renewal of franchises. There is no
obligation of funds for commitment for franchise approval , M Lane said he recently spent time
with a consultant from Earlvale . They could do an audit to see if municipalities are receiving
the full amount of the franchise fees due them . M Lane will take the resolution to the county
for their support ,
hope Sumner thanked Mike L.a.ne for making it possible for Jack Bush to participate in
the search for a new County Highway Director, M Lane said hopefully they will ferret out a

COMMITTEE REPORTS
Emergency Services Committee - Supv Sumner said she met with the chiefs and
others who are working on remappinb coverage areas and establishing guidelines by which
coverage areas and response tunes are determined and approved _ She thanked Mark Bell for
his assistance with this , as well as Brian Wilber. They are also discussing improvements to the
training facility in Etna and whether the town might assist with funding improvements to that
facility which all departments and the county are finding to be useful.
• Finance Committee - Cl Stelick said they root with the bookkeeper and had
preliminary talks about the budget_ They had a good meeting and will continue to meet each
month . Supv Sumner mild she applied for an extension for filing the Annual Update Document •
today , The examiner from the Local Government and School Accountability Office was here
today and Supv Sumner said she thinks she will be a big help in the weeks to come .
Personnel Committee -- Cl Stelick said he has an update on the maternity leave policy .
The proposal is to pay full salary during the one week gap before short term disability kicks in .
Something just came no about the Family and Medical Leave Act. They are working on a policy
and have a little tweaking yet to do . They have a basic understanding of what they want _
Employees will continue to accumulate benefit time while on maternity leave _ They hope to
have a final proposal for next month.
Cl Stelick said he had an email about a new highway hire asking for a cash payout for
opting out of our medical insurance _ CI Stelick said this is a slippery slope and will cloud the
salary. structure . He said this is something the Personnel Committee should look at_ Supv
Sumner said she would like a formal opt out policy . The Personnel Committee will discuss this
in April, lo the meantime, Cl Stelick will let the Highway Superintendent Than that they are
looking at this .
Supv Sumner said the 'Teamsters will be renegotiating and this is something they asked
for this last time ,

• a short time ago . CI Leifer is comfortable with recommending 1V4 . Supv Sumner will write to
them and see if their offer still stands.
There is a recommendation for a new server and they are getting estimates .
The Rec Department is looking at new software and has had six demos . All have add-
on modules . M Bianconi expects to have a recommendation to the tech committee before she
goes on leave.
Infrastructure Committee - No report.
Recreation/Youth/ Community Centers Committee - The Recreation Commission is
reviewing grant applications . They currently have 12 - 15 applications from agencies beyond
community centers . This expands programs without increasing town staff. Expect
recommendations for approval at the April board meeting. Supv Sumner recognized CI Stelick
for getting this grant program up and running as well as Don Scutt , Dan Schmohe , and David
Makar.
Cl Lavine said she had a discussion with Deborah Goldberg and explained that the role
of lead counsel versus non -lead is that they are the one that does the oral arguments and if
there were differences of opinion , they would have the greater say, however the ultimate say
goes to the client. So it is somewhat of a moot point who has the greater decision making
power . The bottom line is that in either of the relationships that we have been discussing,
Deborah Gold berg or Whiteman Osterman , the relationship would be the same . The other
party would be the lead counsel and our town attorney would be co-counsel , but not lead
counsel .
• CI Stelick said with respect to the Ag Committee , he would like to work on this and
come up with recommendations . He feels it is something the board needs to move on . He
would like to come up with some recommendations on how many people , how long a term , etc .
He asked that any board members with suggestions get them to him . In the meantime the
CEAs are delayed until we're comfortable with what we are doing. He will be meeting with CI
Leifer on April 12 prior to the board meeting and they can discuss it then . Cl Lavine asked if
we needed to define members of farming committee. Cl Stelick said that it is important
because we need to hear the voice of those who are truly involved in farming and what that is .
They need to be defined . Supv Sumner said there is language in the Planning Board legislation
with respect to allowing them to designate an agricultural member and it refers to income .
Evan Carpenter said the farms who had attended their meetings included vegetable farmers,
horse people , etc , as well as dairy farmers .
There being no further business , on motion made , seconded and unanimously carried,
the meeting was adjourned at 9 : 26 p. m .
