A written approval of the outline.
Questions or concerns from the public
Mario Giannellaa Would like a study done on property values as
essentially some will have 7 backyards looking into theirs with
the attached housing. A study of property values to the single
family homes adjacent to this type of project. The existing
layout of the project places the Townhouses very close to some
of the homes -and wishes the Board to study the issue on orooerty
values.

Re: Scope -- Peregrine Hollow
Dear Mrs. Caldwell:
As you know,
one of the most pressing
concerns with respect
to the D /EIS for
the proposed
Peregrine
Hollow subdivision is
that alternatives
to the present
design be
thoroughly considered.
The D /EIS should
not simply be
a justification of the proposed
project.
The most important, and difficult, section of the D /EIS is
Section VIII, Alternatives. Within that Section, subsection
"10 letter "C", refers to "Alternative Size ". Currently, a
traditional layout according to zoning and the reversing of the
attached and detached units are to be explored. Our thoughts are
that a broader range of different plat alternatives ought to be
explored.
The Town of Dryden chose the accepted standard format to set
up its scope of work for this project. Certain items not germane
to this D /EIS were appropriately left out, however, this makes
the scope very difficult to follow at times. May we suggest a
%reformatting of the scope such that one number, or letter,
follows directly from the next (e.g., 1, 2, 3... a, b, c...)?
In addition, we would like to comment briefly on some
specific items. Our comments follow in the order in which they
appear in the report.
Section III.B.3.b. deals with the density of the project,
phasing of the project, and open space. Since each one of these
is an issue of serious importance to both the Town of Ithaca and
the neighborhood residents, we feel a more thorough discussion of
how the density of the project may be mitigated through the use
of increased abutting parkland would be in order. Obviously,
this would be of critical im ortance were the project to end
•
after Phase I . new

Mrs. Barbara Caldwell -2- December 6, 1991
Section III.C.l.c. deals with open space. Parking is
addressed as a subset of open space. Should you agree that
parking is not open space, we would suggest that it be dealt with
as a separate issue"'
Under the Transportation subsection of the Human Resources
Section, item A.l.h. states "Discuss Town of Ithaca mitigation
measures on Snyder Hill Road, if any." We suggest that this
read, "Discuss mitigation measures on that portion of Snyder Hill
Road within the Town of Ithaca, if any." Within this same
Section, item 4, Other, refers to the issue of a single access
for Phase I. The items to be discussed relate principally to
cost and not safety, albeit that cul de sacs of the length of
Peregrine Way /Blue Heron Circle raise safety concerns for
emergency vehicles. One of the items does refer to mitigation
measures for single access. We believe this item needs to be
stressed. Within this same Section, subsection A.iv. states
"Discuss Alternatives e.g. ... Blanpied property in Town of
Ithaca from Foote lands in Town through park." We suggest that
this subsection read "Discuss alternatives through Town of Ithaca
land."
Finally, within the above - mentioned Human Resources Section,
just prior to Section VII, subsection F., General, sets forth the
issues which the Town of Ithaca asked to be addressed: parkland,
density, water, sewer, drainage, and traffic. We trust that each
these important issues will be addressed thoroughly and will
result in a project mutually satisfactory to both the Town of
Dryden and the Town of Ithaca, the residents abutting the
project, and the developer.
The Town Board of the Town of Ithaca appreciates the
opportunity to work cooperatively with the Town of Dryden during
this EIS process. The Town Board looks forward to reviewing the
D /EIS and having the opportunity to comment.

ke: Acceptance of Town road prior to completion of construction
by developers.
Dear Supervisor Schug:
I have inspected the proposed town road to be known
as Ow Crest Lane
and based upon its current state of construction (see below), I
feel the town should obtain security in an amount not
! 11,000.00 less than
to insure the completion of the road to
Town of Dryden specifications, if this road
to the town prior to completion is to be dedicated of construction.
The forts of the security should be acceptable to the town
•attorney and should be available for a period of at least one
years
In length understanding road is 1120 ±
feet
acceptable to As. proposed location and turnaround are
Present conditions Subgrade, subbase a basecourse work acceptable
10" still nebded to fully meet town specifications.
Bituminous surface treatment and corrective seeding work to bed �

In accordance with your letter dated August 19, 1991, we are
advising that the new subdivision road, to be named 'Sparrow Crest
Lane', should be posted for a speed of 30 HPH. Advisory Speed
Plates (ASP) should also be posted on all curves for a speed of
20 HPH. The HUTCD reference number for ASP signs is W19 -le
• Based on NYSDOT information I submitted previously, guiderail for
station 17 +00 to 18 +50 and 19 +75 to 21 +00 would not be necessary.
The outside lane, which is uphill, has not been superelevated, but
the cross slope has been reduced.
Also,
the
actual grading adjacent
to the
T- turn - around between 20 +30
and
20 +60
is sloped at

The Planning Department staff has reviewed the D.E.I.S. for the Peregrine Hollow Subdivision,
and our comments are enclosed. We have re -typed the outline and indicated our additions, etc. in
bold type.
In addition to these comments, we would like to see a "Cultural Resource" section added to the
D.E.I.S., such as the one in "The Scoping Checklist" (Appendix D of the SEQRA manual). A
copy of this section has been enclosed for your review.
Finally, we have sent an article which we hope will be helpful to the Town of Dryden when
considering our comments and reviewing the Peregrine Hollow Subdivision proposal.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call (274 - 5360).
Sincerely,

Barbara Caldwell noted that the only thing the Board will

Fabbroni has prepared.
A written approval of the outline.
Questions or concerns from the public
Mario'Giannella: Would like a study done on property values as
essentially some will have 7 backyards looking into theirs with
the attached housing. A study of property values to the single
family homes adjacent to this type of project. The existing
layout of the project places the To very closeto some

values.
George Schlecht reading from the EIS "bible ":
Purely economic impact is not relevant of the SEAR.

PB 11 =13 -91 PAGE 8
M. Lavine noted there were other economic.affects, if you bring
water and sewer into an area that increases property values. If
you bring public transportation into an area that increases
property values. If you build a different density next door
that can increase or decrease either way. The overriding
concern here is not something that should be considered under
SEAR.
There was discussion on wildlife in the area and increase
population for school districts.

Appendix D
State Environmental Quality Review
Scoping Checklist
The following checklist of topics is intended
as a starting point for developing a detailed scope
for a project- specific Draft Environmental Impact
Statement. Typically, no one project will require
a discussion of all the topic areas contained in this
document. Through the Scoping process, the list
of topics should be refined to reflect issues unique
to the proposed project. Topic areas may be de-
leted, added or elaborated upon, to arrive at the
final scoping document.
The purpose of the checklist format is to iden-
tify the basic topic areas of the Draft EIS. This is
accomplished by reviewing the list and placing a
check in the box located to the left of these topics
which should be discussed. The model scoping
checklist can also be used as a worksheet,
including comments, suggestions and identifica-
tion of the particular example(s) that are relevant
to a detailed discussion of the topic or issue that
has been checked. Conversely, those topics which
are not checked, are issues not associated with the
project and may be eliminated from discussion in
the Draft EIS.
The next step is to expand the list to include
or elaborate on those topics unique to the pro-
posed project. A blank sheet is included at the end
of the checklist for such additional information.
The Scoping process involves several steps in
addition to compiling a list of topics. Scoping also
includes discussions on the quantity and quality
of informaton required and the methods of obtain-
ing that data.
NOTE: This check list was designed to be
used in conjunction with the section on scoping
contained in SEQR Guideline -Draft and Final
EIS's. It is also important to emphasize that this
checklist should serve only as a model to assist in
the scoping of a Draft EIS. It should not be used
as a substitute for actively scoping Draft EIS for
a specific project.

X11. Assessment of Unavailable Information
In certain situations involving major develop-
ments (such as an oil supertanker port, a liquid
propane /natural gas storage facility, a resource
recovery facility or a hazarduous waste treatment,
storage or disposal facility), information regarding
reasonably foreseeable catastrophic impacts to the
environment may not be available. Such informa-
tion may be unavailable because the means to ob-
tain it are unknown or the cost of obtaining it is
exhorbitant, or because there is uncertainty about
its validity. If such information is essential to an
agency's SEQR finding, the EIS must:
A. Identify the nature and relevance of such
unavailable or uncertain information; and
B. Provide a summary of existing credible
scientific evidence , if available; and
C. Assess the likelihood of occurrence and
consequences of the potential impact,
even if the probability is low, using the-
oretical approaches or research methods
generally accepted in the scientific
community.
This assessment should be applied only where
reasonably foreseeable catastrophic impacts to the
environment are possible and it is not intended to
be applied in the review of such actions as shop-
ping malls, residential subdivisions and commer-
cial facilities even though the size and scale of
some such projects may be extensive.

THE DECLINE OF THE SUBURBS
Summary of the Lecture
Draft 3/12/90
A• INTRODUCTION
There are two patterns for low density urbanism: the Tradirion 1 N hhnrti.,,.a
• which was the model in America from the discovery to 1945, and SubLr rbA
which has been the model since. They are similar in terms of accommodating
people and their activities, their principal difference being that the Suburban
Sprawl model contains environmental, social and economic deficiencies which
inevitably lead to no- growth policies.
B
THE TWO MODELS
1, The Traditional Neighborhood has the following physical attributes%
a• The Neighborhood is limited in size so that a majority of the population is
within a 5 minutes walking distance to the center. This center is often a
square with the potential for a bus or rail stop, as well as a place for a
corner store, and a meeting hall.
b. The streets are laid out in a grid or network so there are alternate routes
to every destination.
c. The streets are complex, containing traffic, parking, trees, sidewalks and
buildings. Both vehicles and pedestrians feel equally comfortable in them.
d. There is a full hierarchy of streets with most most being relatively narrow
and well - defined by the buildings along them.
e. The buildings are limited in size. Their use is often interspersed, Le:
small houses, large houses, outbuildings, small apartment buildings,
corner stores, restaurants and offices are compatible in size and
placement.
•
•
•
In addition to the streets, there are squares which contain larger shops
and offices, as well as apartments.
g. Civic buildings: (meeting halls, theatres,. churches, clubs, museums, etc.)
are often placed along the squares and sometimes at the termination of
streets so that important buildings receive important locations.
2. Suburban Sprawl has the following attributes:
a. There is no limit to the scale of development and no structuring other than
that provided by highways.
b. Streets are usually wide and dedicated exclusively to the automobile.
c. There is a high proportion of dead ends and looping of streets, with the
result that most traffic is concentrated in a few collector streets which
become easily overloaded.
d. Buildings are so separated from the streets that no spatial definition is
possible.
e. Parking lots dominate the streetscape.
f. Building uses are separated and isolated i.e. shopping centers, office
parks and residential clusters are inaccessible from each other.
g. Housing is segregated by economic levels, with all large houses are in one
cluster and townhouses are in another.
C. THE CONSEQUENCES.
1. The positive results of the Traditional Neighborhood pattern are the following
(there are no significant negative results ):
a. By bringing most of the activities of daily living, including dwelling,
shopping and working, wallcing distance, the elderly and the young gain
independence of movement.
b. By reducing the number and length of automobile trips, traffic congestion is
minimized, the expenses of road construction is limited, and atmospheric
pollution is reduced.
C, By providing appropriate building densities and concentrations, bus or rail
transit becomes a viable alternative to the automobile.

od. By providing pedestrian scaled public spaces such as streets and squares,
citizens come to know each other and to watch over their collective
security.
is
e. By providing a full range of housing types and work places, age and
economic class are integrated and the bonds of an authentic community is
formed
£ By integrating. the various functions of daily life within neighborhoods,
meaningful involvement in local decision making is facilitated
g. By providing suitable Civic Buildings, democratic initiatives are
encouraged and the balanced evolution of society is secured
2. The negative results of the Suburban Sprawl pattern are the following (there
are no significant positive results):
a. By assuming that people will drive to and from all activities, the large
streets and parking lots are a self - fulfilling prophecy. The exhaust
emissions resulting from such trips are the single greatest source of
atmospheric pollution.
b. By the construction of asphaltic infrastructure, (apart from roadways, each
car generates three patches of asphalt: a parking space at home, a
parking space at work, and a parking at shopping ), the natural landscape
is destroyed.
c. By consigning the bulk of the available budget to transportation
infrastructure, the human infrastructure is starved Le: our post offices, fire
stations, city halls, schools and cultural buildings are cheap and coarse
compared'to those prior to 1945.
d. By forbidding mixed uses, the investment of personal time in the
counterproductive activity of commuting is mandatory. (A person who
drives two hours a day spends the equivalent of 8 weeks a year in the
car).
Certain classes of citizens who suffer particularly from the pattern of
Suburban Sprawl :
e. The lower middle class, for whom public transit cannot be economically
provided because the population concentration does not exist, is forced to
multiple automobile ownership. Since average yearly cost of a car which
is $4,500, is the equivalent of a $40,000 mortgage payment, the
exemption from multiple automobile ownership is the single most
important subsidy that can be provided towards affordable housing.

£ The young, when under the legal driving age are dependent on adults for
their social needs. They are driven from schools, to which they cannot
walk, and warehoused at T.V. sets until their working parents arrive
home. The alternate is to have one parent committed to a lesser career as
the child's chauffeur. The single family house with the yard is a good place
for childhood only if it is structured as part of a Traditional Neighborhood
where the child can walk to school, to the store, to the movies and to
friends.
g. The elderly cannot lead an independent life once they lose their drivers'
licenses. Seniors with good mobility may. continue to live independently
within a Neighborhood, but in a Sprawl they must be warehoused in
retirement communities.
D. CERTAIN IMPORTANT DETAILS.
1. Current Master Plans usually accommodate the correct balance of work places,
living places, schools and open areas in what appears to be suitable proximity.
However, proximity is not enough. The detailing of the streets so that
pedestrians feel welcome and secure is also necessary.
a. Buildings must be aligned along streets and squares streets and squares
• The current fashion of staggering or rotating buildings eliminates effective
spatial definition.
•
b. Trees along streets must also be aligned in a disciplined manner. This is
particularly important for spatial definition, when large setbacks exist in
residential neighborhoods. Naturalistic planting patterns should be
reserved for parks and squares, not for streets and avenues.
c. Parallel parking must be provided on every street. A layer of parked cars
protects the pedestrian from traffic. Parking lots when they are needed
must be placed to the rear of buildings to avoid gaps on the building line
which destroy pedestrian continuity. High density housing (lots under 50
ft. wide) must be provided with alleys in order to avoid garage doors
becoming the dominant feature of the facade.
d. At urbanized intersections, the radius at the curb should not exceed 15
feet to avoid increasing the crossing distance of the pedestrian and.
enhancing the potential speed of automobiles taking the turn.
e. High capacity streets within urbanized areas should be avenues and not
highways with cloverleaf intersections. Highways are anti- pedestrian
and anti- building. Avenues are compatible with buildings and people.
Highways destroy real estate value, while avenues enhance it.

S E. THE PROVISION OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING,
is
1. In a Traditional Neighborhood, affordable housing occurs naturally and in a
highly integrated manner. This is achieved by the following means.
a. The affordable housing, should look like the market -rate housing, using
the same materials, windows and forms. It should never be segregated
and never provided in large numbers. A good ratio is 1 to 10 affordable to
market rate.
b. Housing should be provided above retail establishments. This type of
dwelling can be provided for the cost of construction alone, as the land
acquisition can be assigned to the retail component.
c. Outbuildings behind houses, in the form of garage apartments or backyard
cottages, should be encouraged. These small rental units provide
extremely affordable housing interspersed with more expensive housing.
It allows teenagers to stay at home and elderly parents to live with their
families.
F. SUMMARY.
Zoning codes must monitor more than traffic service levels, parking counts, the
separation of building use and the safeguarding of wetlands. Effective safeguards
for the human habitat in all its complexity must be incorporated as primary
planning criteria. The T.N.D. Ordinance is such a provision.
