Speight: Thank you for meeting with us on Friday, July 28 , 2006, at 10 : 00 a.m . to discuss the spring water source on your property that serves 477 Lafayette Road . As we discussed, we appreciate the letter that you provided during our meeting from Better Housing regarding funding for a drilled well for 477 Lafayette Road . It appears evident from this letter that it is only a matter of time before the spring is disconnected . We will contact you again mid- September to determine the status of your drilled well and the connection to the Whalens . Please let me know if you have any questions . Sincerely, n Stephen J . A . ybee, P .E.

Dexter: On May 24 , 2006 , the Department was contacted by Paul Speight (Turtle Dreams B&B , 481 Lafayette Road, Groton-T) regarding a waterline that was severed during the installation of a new sewage system on his property . During that time we became aware of a spring located on your property that serves a home at 470 Lafayette Road owned by Doris Short. The waterline from the spring apparently is routed through the Speight property and gravity fed downhill to the Short property located on the west side of Lafayette Road. That day I met with Doris Short and Paul and Fran Speight to inspect the spring and discuss the situation. The result of our investigation is summarized below. The spring is an uncovered shallow source constructed from concrete blocks . Pictures of the source were taken during the visit. I mentioned to everyone present that this spring is an unprotected water source that is subject to contamination from disease causing pathogens found in surface water such as enteric viruses, e-coli bacteria, cryptosporidium, protozoa and giardia. UV or chlorination disinfection alone is insufficient to ensure that the water is safe to consume . I mentioned that the water is not safe to consume and commercial bottled water should be used for drinking . During a phone conversation with you on 5/26/2006, we discussed that this is an unsafe source. We also discussed, Article S- 7. 01 b. of the Tompkins County Sanitary Code that states "No persons shall serve, provide or make available or accessible for others, drinking water which is not potable or from a supply which is not protected or maintained ". Despite the deed restrictions you shared with us, since the spring is on your property we deem you are responsible to comply with Article V1I . Therefore : You must submit your written plans for correcting this violation to Tompkins County Health Department. The plans must include how improvements will be made to the present source, or disconnect the source, or develop a new source on your property (drilled well), or Mrs. Short to drill a well on her property. The plan must include a time frame on when work will be completed . Please submit the plan by August 31 , 2006. We encourage all involved to work together to agree on a satisfactory solution that will provide safe water. In the interest of public health, the best option would be for the Shorts to drill a well on their property . If the spring must be improved (rather than replaced) please call us to discuss in detail the work that needs to be done . Please let me know if you have any questions . Sincerely, Stephen J.

The Turtle Village project that we are seeking funds for fits into the stop and stay category. The 50,000 dollar award would be used for: the site development, construction materials, well, plumbing and electrical costs of a handi-capped accessible bath house accommodating 40 to 50 people, the building materials for a dining pavilion/ classroom, 4 tipis for lodging, anA expansion of the parking area. Education—We would host school groups, scouts, organizations and other guests for overnight visits on our homestead farm. We would develop a list and arrange visits with local farms providing a safe and comprehensive tour of their operation. We would provide safe, fun, hands on instructional learning opportunities that would deepen participants understanding of the agricultural industry and the role it plays in New York State. Our programs will be comprehensive and use the "Ag in the Classroom" learning kits to insure the appropriate criteria are met for the visiting group. We will also work with scouts to be sure badge requirements are met. We are able to offer additional classes such as : Fall Creek stream studies, the night sky and bird watching. We will work with educators and adapt the program to meet the needs of guests. The program ' s recreational component will include storytelling around a campfire, tandem bike powered plow relays and down time for volleyball, frisbee, badminton and other games. Agriculture- We would promote the farms on the growing agritourism list as well as local farm tours and other agritourism venues that are able to host class sized tours. We would provide a safe destination in a convenient and picturesque location for groups from across the state and region. The Turtle Village project is situated on a property free of typical farm hazards and the bathhouse being of new construction contributes to a project that has ideal safety and accessibility conditions. This project will promote the agritourism industry and provide revenue to farmers who are able to host safe tours. This project will have spin- off revenues for the local markets and other area tourist destinations. Accommodations- The Turtle Village project' s unique lodging will provide a truly down to earth sleeping experience. Tipis are really wonderful sleeping spaces that will help participants get connected with the outdoors and enhance their experience in the country. Turtle Village breakfast ' s will feature local farms produce whenever possible and will provide selections for vegetarian and non-vegetarian patrons. We will keep the fees family and school friendly as to accommodate for diverse financial resources. Qualifications- We have the skills to make this project happen. We have 16 years worth of combined educational experience including eleven years of teaching adapted physical education, four years of special education classroom experience and one year as a high school student activities .director.

In response to Acting Chair Albro 's questions , she stated that the home had previously been a bed and breakfast and , after she and her husband purchased the home , they wished to continue the business ; it was strictly a change in ownership. They would be using three second - floor bedrooms, two with baths and one smaller room for guests; the Speights would occupy the first floor as their residence . Member Gloster asked about the permits required and CEO Senter stated that a bed and breakfast was different from a hotel , ` so it would not require any special permits from the Health Department, etc . CEO Senter explained to Ms. Speight that she was allowed five bedrooms , ten lodgers , and has to be owner-occupied . He also stated that it met all setback requirements, etc . There was sufficient parking in the rear of the home . Mrs . Speight stated that the name of the business would be "Turtle Dreams Bed & Breakfast. " With regard to a sign , she advised that she would be using the sign that was there . CEO Senter commented that she would need to come in and fill out a sign application . Having a public hearing was discussed . Member Baxendell stated that this is an existing business and is simply changing owners , so he did not think a public hearing should be held . With no further discussion , a motion was made by Member Tom Guihan to waive the public hearing and approve the bed and breakfast as requested . The motion was seconded by Member Janice Haines , with the vote recorded as follows : Ayes : Acting Chair Albro Nays : None Member Baxendell Member Clark Member Gloster Member Guihan Member Haines Absent: Chair Carey Motion carried.

We have agreed to cancel the office conference- scheduled for Friday, October 14 , 2005 . You mentioned in our phone conversation on Tuesday, September 13 , 2005 , that the Aikens have drilled a new well to serve their two properties at 1350 Elm Street Extension and 473 Lafayette Road . The Whalens are in the process of trying to obtain funding to drill their own well, and Turtle Dreams has consulted with Randolph Well and Pump to drill a well . You stated in your letter that you have been providing commercial bottled water to your guests . Section S- 7 . 01 of the Tompkins County Sanitary Code requires that no one may serve or make available drinking water from a supply which is not protected or maintained . You must stop providing water from a poor source . You may either provide water from a satisfactory source or abandon the source . Our concern was that you work with the neighbors and not abruptly stop the connection . You indicated that you have been working with the neighbors . We appreciate that you have been providing bottled water to your guests and all of your efforts. We also understand that you inhcritcd this water supply with the purchase of your property, and have showed concern that the water from this supply may not be safe to consume . We will contact you again in 4 months to determine- the status of your drilled well and the connection to the Whalens . Please let me know if you have any questions . Sincerely, a ry Stephe J . A .

As you are aware, the water source that serves the Turtle Dreams Bed and Breakfast and three other adjacent properties located on your property is an unprotected water source that is subject to contamination . In our August 9, 2005 letter (attached), we requested written plans for correcting the violation to Tompkins County Health Department before August 31 , 2005 . As of this date, no plans have been received . Therefore, we have scheduled an office conference for Friday, October 14, 2005 , at 10 : 00 a . m . , in the Environmental Health offices at 401 Harris Dates Drive, Ithaca, NY, during which we will discuss the enclosed Draft Compliance Schedule .

We also agree to comply with the following Public Health Director' s Orders effective when signed by the Director : 1 .

Unknown 28 . - 1 - 16 . 2 Paul Speight, Turtle Dreams B &B 481 Lafayette Rd . Sediment filter and UV disinfection The water source is apparently a spring on a hillside . The only features that can be observed are a pipe from the spring that flows into a small cattle water trough . The water trough has a section of corrugated metal roofing over it to keep debris out. From the water trough the water is distributed by gravity to the above residents . This spring is an unprotected water source that is subject to contamination from disease causing pathogens found in surface water such as enteric viruses , e-coli bacteria, cryptosporidium , protozoa and giardia. UV or chlorination disinfection alone is insufficient to ensure that the water is safe to consume. This water is not safe to consume and commercial bottled water should be used for drinking. As we discussed, Article S- 7. 01 b. of the Tompkins County Sanitary Code states "No persons shall serve, provide or make available or accessible for others, drinking water which is not potable or from a supply which is not protected or maintained ". To abate this violation , an adequate source of water must be provided . During our conversations , you mentioned your plan to drill a well to serve the B &B and your proposed educational project. In addition, you also mentioned your desire not to be responsible for this spring on your property. Attached please find a list of registered well drillers . You must submit your written plans for correcting this violation to Tompkins County Health Department before August 31 , 2005 . Include a time frame on when the new well will be drilled . If you do not intend to continue in supplying water to the neighboring properties , we encourage you to. provide the owners with adequate time/notice before disconnecting their current water source on your property. The written plans must include the agreed upon timeframe. Please let me know if you have any questions . Sincerely, lee tt Step en J. A : aybee, P . .

The Department has reviewed the proposal, as submitted, and has determined that it has no negative inter-community, or county-wide impacts. The Department offers the following comment regarding the proposed project, which is not a formal recommendation under General Municipal Law §239 4 and —m: • We suggest that the Town require the applicant to develop a parking layout plan that shows parking spaces and circulation patterns for vehicles in the parking lot, particularly to ensure adequate space for buses to maneuver. Please inform us of your decision so that we can make it a part of the record. Sincerely, Edward C. Marx, AICP Commissioner of Planning Dear Town of Groton Representative , We the neighbors of the surrounding area of Turtle Dreams Bed & Breakfast have the following .conces and questions regarding the expansi rn on of their business operation : 1 . Insurance Coverage: Is there adequate insurance to cover off site accidents resulting in lawsuits (le. Injury/death in Fall Creek or along LaFayette Road & Elm Street)? Property damage to neighbors (fire, trespassing, theft)? Are we as neighbors exposed to liability? How much coverage do they plan on obtaining? Is this a minimum required or are they planning to go. above and beyond that if needed? 2. Fire Safety: The McLean Fire department has expressed concern over .fire truck access to the proposed kitchen/bath house and the tipis. Paul has said there will be fire pits in each tipi plus a bonfire area. We, as neighbors are concerned for our property if afire gets out of control. This could also be a liability issue for both the town and/or the residents if, for instance, there , is a lawsuit due to injury or death in a fire where the fire trucks were restricted because of access or if afire were to cross the adjacent property lines. What is the fire - safety plan? Do they plan on working with the local .fire officials to have an adequate access in case of a fire? 3. Increase in traffic : By growing from a 4 bedroom Bed and Breakfast to a facility accommodating up to 60 persons, there is a potential for a large increase in traffic on the rural -roads surrounding . In the case of special events (such as :.weddings & reunions the amount of local traffic will be :greater. There is also the risk of guests driving while intoxicated after attending a wedding or reunion as stated by the Speights they will be allowing guests to provide their own alcohol. 4. Parking facility. The site plan drawing shows an area designated for parking. What is the maximum capacity for thes parking ' lot? If there is a special event where the number of cars exceeds the parking lot capacity, where will the, overflow parking be? There is no shoulder on Lafayette Road in this . aarea and Turtle Dreams is located on a blind curve, therefore parking along the road could be hazardous and .prompts the, question of liability to the town and residents traveling the roads that may have an accident when confronted without a proper view of the corner and drivewa�s if cars were obstructing such view. 5 r 5. Noise: Turtle Dreams is located in a quiet, residential area with working families and young children. litany of these families rise at an early . hour for work. The Speight's advertise didjeridoo and drum circles, and are planning a stage in their expansion (for; possible concerts and , , plays). In addition, special events such as a wedding, would mean a band or DJ playing to a. larger crowd. What allowances will Turtle Dreams make to keep the character of our community peaceful and rural? Will they accommodate ' curfew and a reasonable time for weeknights and weekend activities to cease? 6. Formal business place. What is the business plan? What is their goal for the future (2 years, 5 years, 10 years)? Will "Phase 2" resurface with further expansion? If no farms agree to allow "Ag-tours", is this still an agricultural endeavor? ` Do they have any agreements with any,local . farms for hosting Ag-tours? What type :and quantity of 'animals do they plan to raise? How do you plan to keep these animals upon -their property? 7. Guest activities: We have received mixed messages about the activities available and the age groups that will visit Turtle Dreams. What is the target age group? ®u'r .concern is that young people who are not constantly entertained will be tempted to stray. For example, a group of young adults (assuming with chaperones) comes on are overnight trip. Some individuals . become bored or there is a lull between activities so they go out to explore . the surrounding areas, the result could be trespassing , damage to private property; or personal Injury upon neighbors land. The ' Speights have shn on the site plan map- that most of the borders are Ri . natural. oor t only do some of these natural borderi belong to adjacent property owners, guests may not recognize where boundaries exist, do they plane on: defining their borders in a more IV permanenrw manner. The heavy woods defined on the map; as borders am not owned by the SPeights, they could be cut down or removed 'at any time. Have. they considered a full privacy fence around the property? 8. Existing spring : There is currently a spring fed waitercourse In the Northeast corner of the Speight's property that servesAhouseholds. The reservoir . is above the ground and could easily be contaminated, as could the watershed, during construction or by guests. That measures will be taken . protect the quality of the watershed and above ground tank? 9. Fall Creek usaqe : Turtle ®reams is advertising Fall Creek as an . attraction (canoeing/paddling, tubing and fishing ). The ''Public Fishing Rights" access points are defined on the DEC Website as "permanent easements along game fish streams .that allow the public to wade and walk along the streambed and banks for the purpose of fishing, and for no other activity". Much of the stream is private (see attached map) which is not accessible to fishing. Accidental injury or drowning could result from unauthorized use of the stream and its access points as well as property damage from trespassing. We have met with the Speights and toured their Business and as you have read above we have many questions that leave us with concerns about the future of our neighborhood. Therefore we request that their application be denied.

Speight : Thank you for meeting with me on July 18 , 2005 to examine your water system that serves the Turtle Dreams Bed and Breakfast. We have been informed that this water supply serves the following homes : Tax Ma # Property Owner Address Water Treatment 28 . - 1 - 17 Loren and Geraldine Aiken 1350 Elm St. Ext . None 28 . - 1 - 18 Loren and Geraldine Aiken 473 Lafayette Rd . None 28 . - 1 - 16 . 42 Arthur and ShirleyWhalen 477 Lafayette Rd . Unknown 28 . - 1 - 16 . 2 Paul Speight, Turtle Dreams B &B 481 Lafayette Rd . Sediment filter and UV disinfection The water source is apparently a spring on a hillside . The only features that can be observed are a pipe from the spring that flows into a small cattle water trough. The water trough has a section of corrugated metal roofing over it to keep debris out . From the water trough the water is distributed by gravity to the above residents . This spring is an unprotected water source that is subject to contamination from disease causing pathogens found in surface water such as enteric viruses, e-coli bacteria, cryptosporidium, protozoa and giardia. UV or chlorination disinfection alone is insufficient to ensure that the water is safe to consume . This water is not safe to consume and commercial bottled water should be used for drinking. As we discussed, Article 5- 7. 01 b. of the Tompkins County Sanitary Code states "No persons shall serve, provide or make available or accessible for others, drinking water which is not potable or from a supply which is not protected or maintained ' To abate this violation , an adequate source of water must be provided . During our conversations, you mentioned your plan to drill a well to serve the B &B and your proposed educational project. In addition, you also mentioned your desire not to be responsible for this spring on your property. Attached please find a list of registered well drillers . You must submit your written plans for correcting this violation to Tompkins County Health Department before August 31 , 2005. Include a time frame on when the new well will be drilled . If you do not intend to continue in supplying water to the neighboring properties , we encourage you to provide the owners with adequate time/notice before disconnecting their current water source on your property. The written plans must include the agreed upon timeframe. Please let me know if you have any questions . Sincerely, Step en J . A . aybee, P . ( .
