REVIEV APPLICATION - Country Acres Mobile Park in McLean (8 lot expansion and referred to the Planning Board by the Town Board under Mobile Home Park Ordinance, Section 40.3). Mr. Simon, 370 Tompkins Street, Cortland, New York, and owner of MVE Mobile Home Park in McLean - We purchased this park on Fall Creek Road in McLean of approximately 70+ acres. Currently 25% of the land is used for the park. The park was originally designed with the additional spaces we are asking for but never put in. (Presented to the Board was an area map reflecting the current park and the requested expansion). Currently there are 94 spaces in the park and we are proposing is to add eight spaces. The space has already been grated for it and the road already has mobile homes on one side. The proposed spaces are larger than other spaces and larger than Dryden's requirements. The water and sewer •lines exist although we have to put an extension in. The Tompkins County Health Department and the Department of Environmental Conservation has no objection to our plans. The waste system was designed to handle affluent from 104 spaces. A study was done on the affluent going from the ponds into Fall Creek. Water tests are done daily, laboratory affluent tests are done every three or four months as well as Tompkins County and New York State tests are conducted. An Environmental Assessment form was presented to the Board for review. The Board expressed concern about the run -off going into Fall Creek. There is a question on safety features on the lagoon and drainage on the backside of the lots. Henry Slater reported that the proposed lot sizes are: 6940, 6215,77009 7700, 77009 6400, 6500 and 7700 square feet, all in excess of the required 5000 square feet. All lots would to meet the required set -backs for double wide trailers. Lot one will have to be 70 feet off the center line of the road. Mr. Simmons - Each lot will have a small tree and two parking spaces. The Park's rules were presented to the board for review. All parking will be off -road unless someone is visiting. I will restrict parking on one side of the road. The road surface will be oil and stone. There are no drainage ditches along this road. Trash is picked up once a week with individuals responsible for their containers and are part of the park rules. New York State Electric & Gas will not provide a requirement plan • to us until our plans are submitted to them and ready to be implemented. All types of heating systems (oil, electric and gas) can be used by renters. 5 -12 -88 Page 2 •The Board expressed an concern about: a fence around the lagoon; the run- off to the pond with possible landscaping on area; the park rules regarding parking on one side of the street only; the landscaping on these eight lots, which will be the same as the rest of the park; lot one regarding the driveway and the distance from the property line; street lighting; DEC approval; recreational space; and obtaining a copy of park's rules. It was the general concensus of the board that they will be able to review the above upon review of all requested materials on June 16, 19884 2. A SKETCH SESSION - Mr. Varn (proposed subdivision on Dryden Road) A Sketch Session was held to review the proposal from Mr. Varn for a subdivision on the Dryden Road. Mr. Varn discussed this proposal at a prior meeting, but addtional materials were needed to look at. An area map was presented to the Board reflecting the proposed layout of the subdivision. Mr. Varn - We would like to put a subdivision on Dryden Road. We have found out since the last meeting that the RD Zone goes back 850 feet which would mean that the back portion of the property (about 750 feet) is zoned RB. We would like to change that zoning to RD so the whole parcel will be zoned the same and build the shop facility on two parcels by asking for a special permit. The other parcels of the land would be sold individually. •There will be six parcels in the RD zone, and I would like to use two of those lots for the shop facility. Most likely, we will let those lots be and go with the four lots in the back remain in the RD zone. Most trucks coming to my shop facility will be tractor trailers but the ones going out will be 20 foot trucks. There will be one tractor trailer delivery at least every two weeks, possibly every week. I have discussed this with the Town Highway Department. A letter was presented to the Board from DOC who will be coming out to inspect the property and site to make suggestions. We plan to do a facility in the fall tour first building) and we plan to close on the land in August. M. Lavine requested that the records show that lots G, H, I and J are now going to become just lot E with no subdivision at all but one big lot. The Board expressed concern about the road going out onto Route 13 and the island that will be located in the center of the road off Route 13. There was also concern expressed about the ability of trucks pulling on and off Route 13 and safety. Another concern was a buffer zone between the RB and RD zones. Chairman Caldwell requested information from the Department of Transpor- ation in writing addressing this problem. Also needed is input from the County Planning Department where they have been doing some detail studies regarding Route 13. An Environmental Assessment Form will also need to be filled out after a response has been received from DOT and County ,• Planning. I i 5 -12 -88 Page 3 • 3.

Linn (Proposed Subdivision) Chairman Caldwell suggested that perhaps the Board glance at the proposed subdivision plans submitted.
