Mr. Rick Parlette presented a petition from Etna Community Association with
approximately seventy -four signatures opposing Mr. Rocco Lucente sub - division on
N. Caswell Road. Their main concerns are conditions of roads, too many people in
too small an area, more children for present schools and adverse affects on Fall
Creek.

subject to intermittent flooding.
A chart was included giving limitations data. The predominate soil on sight
is RKA and RKB, WS. They recommend that due to the wet nature of soils located on
the property, careful planning will be needed on controls of surface water. Ditches
will be needed to take surface water to a safe outlet. The houses should have sur-
rounding soil graded so that water flows away from houses into ditches. Footing
drain should also be installed outletting into the ditches.
Due to questions on drainage a walking tour of the land will be conducted
June 28, 1979 at 5:00 P.M.
A written plan was given to the board for study concerning points discussed
at last meeting. They will phase development with six units going-up per year
for eight years.
Mr. Fabroni listed following 'points for record.

They feel they met all requirements to preliminary sub - division plan. Want
reconsideration of SEQR due to their feeling it wasn't followed properly. Request
that first resolution adapted requiring DEIS to reconsider:
1) expense high for engineer work
2) will phase development as presented
More of Lucente sub - division will be discussed at next meeting on July 11,
1979.
Chairwoman Caldwell and Mr. Lavine attended a meeting with county concerning
Route 13 and B -5 drawing presented. A comparison was made to the B -1 originally
presented. A meeting will be held June 26, 1979 at 7:30PM. with Dryden Town Board
and Planning Board to discuss alternates to Route 13.
Mr. Lavine called the board's attention to an accident at Ellis Hollow Community
Center where a three year old was badly injured when a dumpster, refuse container
tipped over onto the child. A federal law bans the leasing, selling and use of the
container. Legs can be welded onto bottom of container to widen the base. The
County Health Department can be notified concerning these containers.
Also a letter from Attorney Perkins to Mr. Lavine concerning transportation of
nuclear waste was.read. Regulations must be done at state or federal level. A
clipping from June 7, 1979 Ithaca Journal was enclosed concerning what one small
town in Central New York did about the problem.
