Cald-•7811 raised from t?plL floor the quest; or_ of underground electric service, • :r; Parlbutt stated that the cost of $10700 for 120 feet of 800 -ampere service made this prohibitive, and also pointed out that the N.Y.S.E. &: G8 is aft improving the appearance of both the poles and the 32- anrpera-service (now wrapped). Yro Hurlbutt and _v r. Clark (fro:^ the floor) also pointed out that underground service is not er_tirely without draw - backs, e.g., :east markers every 100 feet, danger of disrupting underground lines in subsequent earth - moving. Mr. Curtiss stated that the Planning Board. is aware of the desirability of underground service; each major subdivider questioned has indicated that the cost of such service would bring the price of the property beyond that which the :3= prospective customer is vfLllin� to day. �Tr. Curtiss is interested in having additional information on this -- information which right enable the Planning Board to encourage this further, ITr, Hurlbutt was a~j-dous to have a public hearing at the next Planning Board meeting I and requested permission to submit the Board of Health approval and the perfrp�,iance bond immediately before the hearing.

By ARTHUR CLARK 3ourpal Staff Writer DRYDEN —The Dryden, Town Planning Board heard initial thoughts on town zoning result- ing from the "701" project at its meeting Thursday: Thomas Neiderkorn of Neider- korn and Egner, Ithaca consult- ants who are guiding the 701 studies for the town, told the planning board that tentative ' residential zones had been es- tablished. There has been no consider- .;, ation of commercial and indus- f trial zones at this time. The tentative formulation di- vided' the town into three resi- dential zones: A. B, and C. Zone A is that part of the town south of Rte. 13 and west of Rte. 38 which is hilly and holds most of the state lands. It roughly corresponds to the 15 degree slope lire on the hills. Zone C follows the main roads through the town which now contain the areas of greatest building .-tensity. Zone B is the rest of the town. h ?eir'aerkorr_ t0d the planning board the tentative restrictions in Zo:t� A. where there is little development at the present tine, called for maintaining the area as an agriculture-conser- vation area where recreational _facilities would be permitted to develop, such a's public and private parks, resorts and golf courses. There would be no permanent dwellings in the area, but sum mer cabins and hunting camps would be permitted to develop if they were on lots of five acres or more with a minimum of 200 feet of road frontage. Zor-e S, which is the largest, would be restricted to residen- tial housing, with a minimum lot size of 40,000 square feet, except that family dwelling un- its would be permissible if they were located on lots having 30,- 000 square feet per unit. Neighborhood service busi- nesses and trailer parks could be located in this zone by spe- cial permit, under the prelimi- nary plans. ;... r 64 Zane C, would have a limit of 30,000 square feet per unit, with an additional 20,000 square .feet needed for each unit in 1. dwellings. Neighborhood service ' businesses, trailer parks, and light manufacturing would be permitted by special permit. In all zones, the lot -size re- Tt striction would be cut in half if public sewers were available.. . ` individual trailers would rot be ' -7 permitted in them. The area southeast of Dryden, toward Harford, was not includ- ed in the discussion as prelimi- nary plans had not formulated for that area. All of these regulations. and zones are still very much up in the air at this time, it was stressed. x In other business: The planning board told Har- old Washburn of Lafayette that he could get approval to sell for lots as a minor subdivision on Ellis Hollow Creek Rd. Isis ulti- mate plans call for a major subdivision on a horse -shoe shaped road, with 22 lots front, ing on it. • Washburn said that this was four to fire years away, but that he wanted to sell some lots on the existing road. He needs to get health department ap4 proval of the lots on Ellis Hol- low Creek Rd. before the plan- 0 ning b o a r d will give its ap• nroval. The planning board set May 15 at 7:30 p.m. for a public hearing on a major subdivision proposed on the Pickney Rd, by Duane Huributt and Robert Keech. The subdivision calls for the construction of six four -unit apartments and 11 houses on a road to be constructed.
