Procedures for proposed Developers

working on procedures that must be in place prior to the start of the proposed
development across the road on Town land. Mrs. Miller will share ideas with the other
Town Board Members at their monthly meeting.
Update-Cayuga Farms, North Triphammer Road, Tax Parcel # 37.1-6-
3.362
Tim Buhl appeared before the Board with an update on his proposed on site sewer
package. The DEC has provided Mr. Buhl with discharge parameters, which are quite
restrictive. A vendor of onsite wastewater modular treatment center has assured Mr.
Buhl that they can meet the requirements. Mr. Buhl is now requesting that they finish
their site plan process. This particular system has not been used in Tompkins County
however, it has been used in the Albany area.

Each building in the development will have their own waste water system. A licensed
operator will need to oversee the project. Mr. Buhl will be in contact with Jeff within the
next week or so to see where the project stands.
Proposal/Feasibility Conference, Planned Development Expansion-
Village Solars, LLC & Village Circle Apts-Rocco Lucente
Mr. Fabbroni and Son again appeared before the Board with a presentation of the PDA
expansion for Village Circle Apartments and the Village Solars. Mr. Fabbroni presented
the Members with the correct Master Plan (Community Center Building longer and one
other moved down) as the one given in their packets was incorrect. Legal Counsel had
previously inquired as to who the owners were. Mr. Fabbroni states Lucente Holdings
Inc. will put the buildings within the new area into an LLC shortly. Lucente Holdings
Inc. and Village Solars LLC, they are one of the same.
Lin Davidson advised Mr. Fabbroni that Legal Counsel has advised him that it should
be a single PDA with different entities listed.
Mr. Fabbroni has addressed every item under the PDA requirements. The biggest issue
is the water pressure, which Mr. Fabbroni has met with Kathy Miller,Jeff Overstrom,
David Herrick and Jack French to discuss this matter. Since that Meeting, the
Developer's have agreed to each pay$35,000 if the Town has the Booster System in
place by the end of this year. If this does not happen, the Developer will then put their
money into a system for each unit so they can proceed.
Mr. Fabbroni states they are requesting to start the formal process on this PDA tonight.
All items listed in the Zoning Ordinance under the PDA process have been addressed.
After speaking with Brent Cross, there is an existing agreement that calls for 400 + units,
which Mr. Cross would like to use up those units and then due to an understanding,
up the number of additional units.
Jeff Overstrom indicated with their collection systems improvements, their flows have
dropped which created additional units to be available.
Thomas Ellis inquired if the Developer plans on putting a bus pull off on Warren Road.
Mr. Fabbroni states they talked about putting a shelter near the east/west walkway.
Thomas Ellis inquired what the schedule would be for the community common areas.
Mr. Fabbroni states it will come early on, either the first or second year. They are still
working through the numbers, but hope to have approximately 36 units for the first
phase. Mostly likely the community building would come next.
Stephen Lucente states the Community Center is self supportive due to the existing
units that will be using it.

Maureen Cowan inquired as to when they anticipate putting in the walking trail along
Warren Road and the trial that go through the military lot line. Larry Jr. states they will
start will the path to the south in the early phase and then focus on the Warren Road
path. As Engineers, they have a hard time focusing on a trail that goes from property
lines and then end. Larry Fabbroni Sr. states if the water main were to go in, a lot of the
walkway along the military lot line would go with it.
Lin Davidson states the Board would want to hear from the Town Engineer prior to
making any further decisions, also Legal Counsel needs to review. The Board decided
that if the information comes in soon, they can meet for a Tuesday Meeting to be held
on May 29, 2012 @ 7:15 PM prior to meeting with the Developer on June 11, 2012at 7:15
PM.
The Fire Department will need to review the plat for their comments or concerns.
