Phase 2: Residential districts. Organization and content of the code. Core of the project. This is where
the LIS would be written. May need to lengthen time frame; but will see.
Phase 3: Final pieces of process.
Recommendations of the Route 13/366 corridor plan seems to coincide with the comprehensive plan.
Diverting growth into the hamlets is a goal (Nodal Development). There was a focus on aesthetics and
safety.
D Weinstein and B Caldwell have been very involved with this process (of the County's).
B Caldwell — if they propose something we don't support, or don't want in the Town, now is the time to
object. Ifthe Town comes up with something different then the County does, we need to speak up now.
Their Plan is very detailed. They even have setback recommendations.
B Caldwell - Concerned at this stage with the level i.4'specifics in the Route 13/366 Corridor Plan.
J Lalley — These are interesting suggestions, and we will consider them as part of our process, but the
town has sovereignty in this area.
0 T Hatfield — This is town's business, not the county's business.
C Norte — .Asked to made some comments regarding the level of regulation discussed and objections he
has.
The Planning Board absolutely wants all residents to heel that they have a say in the zoning rewrite that
is in process. All of our meetings are public and we invite the public to attend and be involved in the
process.
13 Caldwell to draft a letter to Ed Marx regarding PIA concerns with Route 13/366 Corridor Plan.

For the next meeting, we need to have Assessment come and talk to us about some of the issues of
assessment in relation to zoning. There are some concerns regarding assessments being higher than
available usage/zoning of a property.
Presenter
was asked to email
this presentation to the
Board. D
Kwasnowski said tlic_y would set up a
website with
this information
to keep the Board and
the public
updated.
J halley asked Lawrence how the Dryden Water Initiative by Jim Schug from 10 years ago fits in to the
process'? Utilities driving densities is an issue we need to get to at some point.
D Kwasnowski — The roadblock I hit when working on the Cluster Subdivision ordinance was lack of
utilities to support that dense of development.
Next Steps
Confirm plan of attack (move forward with conservation subdivision regulations and Route 13)
Prepare Preliminary Conservation Zoning Techniques for discussion at next meeting
Begin to identify Route 13 Stakeholders and Set tip meetings
Would like to pull together some ideas for our next meeting. Start to think about Route 131366 first. As
we start to think about what we might want to do there, we need to think about who we want to reach
out to for information input first.
D Kwasnowski
identity
— Start with
comp plan
and what was found
out
at 13/366
that area,
study and review that and then
prioritize
what
areas and
guidelines we
want to look at in what
to the stakeholders,
order
and
then overlays, etc.
NM Sumner — How complex is this input base you want? 366 all the way to Freeville?
Lawrence — as we
identity
an
area, we'll
reach out to
those
in
that area,
and
get
input, then move on to
the next. Before we
reach
out
to the stakeholders,
we
need
to
get sonic
ideas
to
present to them.
B Caldwell — If ewe were given (lie tool to vary a frontage here or a lot line there, there is a specific Town
law that we need to be given approval to enact before we can make some of these changes. Need to
make sure we get that in here. The current Town of Dryden's law references about 281 which is no
longer in existence.
Next Meeting Date:
The Town will be moving to the new'1`own Hall on September 20 and 21. Do we want to move the
meeting date to the 27'x' or move to a different location? Joe L can not attend the 20'x'. We will meet on
the 27'x' in the new building at 7:00 pm.
Joe Laney made a motion to adiourn the meeting. Porn Hatfield seconded the motion. All members
voted in favor. The meeting was adjourned at 8:35 pm. The next scheduled Planning Board meeting is
September 27 "' at 7:00 pm.
Respectfully Submitted,
