Chairperson Grigorov declared the Public Hearing in the
above -noted matter- duly opened and read aloud from the Notice of
Public Hearings as posted and published and as noted above.
At this time, Chairperson Grigorov read aloud, into the record,
the following memo.
"MEMO
telephone call 6/18/90 from LARRY PHILLIPS
RE Inlet Valley Coop, request for preliminary subdivision approval,
Planning Board meeting, 6/19/90
Mr. Larry Phillips is unable to attend meeting and is not sure he can
arrange legal representaton at such short notice.
'Planning Board -3- June 19, 1990
• He asserts that action by the Town is inappropriate at this time
because.
18 litigation not settled
2* request violates the organizations bylaws which require
unanimous consent of participants - consent not yet achieved.
3. , agreement between NYS Attorney General's Office ( "no
action'!) and developer not fulfilled.
4* basis of original approval by the Town was that further
development would not occur.
5. purpose of subdivision is to provide funds for road. It is
not clear that the proceeds would be sufficient to build road."
The above Memo was taken via telephone by Shirley Raffensperger,
Town Supervisor.
At this point, Mr. Alan Wood, President of the Inlet Valley Land
Cooperative, addressed the Board and stated that he was before the
Board at the direction of the Inlet Valley Stockholders Cooperative.
Mr 11 Wood said that the Inlet Valley Land Cooperative was formed
in 1979 as approximately 100 acres of land with 9 leaseholds on the
land to occupy approximately 40 acres. Eight of those leaseholds
have single house dwellings. The remaining approximately 60 acres of
land in the co -op is held as common land. The road was built and
maintained by the corporation. At the present time.they are looking
• to re -form the corporation in a much more conventional way. Mr. Wood
said that they would like to take those 9 leaseholds and convert them
to fee simple deeds,„ a much more conventional way of owning
property. Mr. Wood stated that it is proposed that the road in the
corporation also be converted to„ a Town road; that way this
development will look like every other development in the Town.
Continuing, Mr. Wood said that over the last 11 years the tax
base on the properties has been based on the fact of full services in
the Town of Ithaca, yet they pay the same type of taxes as everyone
else. Attorney Barney stated that the owners are paying taxes based
on the assessed evaluation just like everyone else in the Town.
Mr. Wood said that they are proposing that the IVLC improve the
road to bring it up to an acceptable level for the Town. The IVLC is
proposing to use the original road, and, secondly, to move the road
so it does not cross over the Phillips' property. Also, it is
planned to put in turnarounds at the ends of the road. The IVLC
plans to bear the cost of the road, i.e., they plan to add four new
building lots. They will end up with building lots and 50 acres of
open land. Mr. Wood said that in order to make them reasonable lots,
it is being proposed that the lot line on No. 4 be slightly changed.
Chairperson Grigorov noted that this was a Public Hearing and
asked if there were anyone from the public who had any comments or
• questions.
Steve Mandl, of 167 Calkins Road, addressed the Board and stated
that his father, Richard Mandl, had asked him to present a letter
written by him. (Letter attached hereto as Exhibit 2).

Jerry Weisburd, of 167 -1 Calkins Road, approached the Board and
stated that he was originally involved in the development of the
project. Mr. Weisburd noted that, originally, the IVLC had attempted
to set aside a large amount of land as open green space, and thinks
that the Town has expressed more and more of a desire toward that
same end, but the problem is that the IVLC has been caught in a
squeeze, the cooperative itself is a difficult format to work with
for some people, private ownership with a Town road is easier to
sell, finance, and at the same time the IVLC still feels committed to
the idea of preserving green open space. In this case 50 acres will
remain permanently as green open space. The average lot size is
about 3 -1/2 acres.

Ms Weisburd stated that it would take a 2/3 vote to make the
• conversion to a Homeowners' Association. Board Member Miller asked
about Lot #2. Ms. Weisburd responded that, if the Phillips really
resisted the idea of this becoming a Town Road, and that really
became a problem, then the IVLC would bypass their property. Ms.
Langhans wondered how many homeowners joined Mr. Phillips. Ms.
Weisburd said that as far as she knew, from the meetings held, it
seems like 8 are in agreement to go ahead with the conversion.
At this point, Attorney Barney wondered if names could be put on
the lots, and the position the owners are taking relative to the
conversion. Ms. Weisburd provided the following names.

road, than
.Town Engineer Dan Walker, referring to the existing road, said
that it is in excess of 2000 feet which does not meet the Town
standards for dead -end cul de sac roads. There is a major safety
concern for that length 'consideration because of emergency vehicle
access and, normally,' on a subdivision with this length of road and
this number of units, the Town would want to have at least two access
pointsil
even if the secondary one were only an emergency access. The
grades on the existing road and some of the curves are definitely not
within Town standards.` Mr. Walker said that the reason for Town
Highway standards is to,allow the Town to accept roads that will not
overburden the Town from a maintenance and reconstruction standpoint
shortly after dedication. Mr. Walker said that certain portions of
the road are well in excess of the 10% maximum grade, i.e., the Town
standard, and that is primarily a safety concern because there is a
considerable amount of snow and ice in Ithaca. A 10% road is
difficult for Town trucks to plow with a heavy snowfall and the icy
conditions. Mr. Walker feels that from an engineering standpoint
• there has to be a significant amount of work done to that road before
he could make a recommendation to accept the road as a Town highway.
Mr. Weisburd wondered if the IVLC could secure a preliminary
approval on the lots tonight, and then work with the Town on the
road. Attorney Barney stated that they are not totally independent
considerations because the approval of the lots in a subdivision
normally requires a road.
At this point, Attorney Barney suggest

and as noted
above.
Mr. Scott Hamilton addressed the Board and stated that he had
appeared before the Board in August 1988 and was granted full
approval for a redevelopment plan that was considerably larger in
scope than what is being presented tonight. Mr. Hamilton is asking
for preliminary approval of a considerably pared down version of the
plan. Mr. Hamilton is asking for approval to renovate the interior
portion of the northeast end of the building, which formally housed
eight bowling lanes, ,creating a fire zone in that area, and
converting it for retail space. Mr. Hamilton said that he would like
to add an addition on the front of the current building, and turning
the present parking to the rear of the building.
Mr. Hamilton stated the motivation behind the plan is basically
twofold. One is to change, cosmetically, a 1950 bowling alley to a
modern complex, and, two, to make a much more reasonable and economic
return on that particular parcel.

Mr.' Niederkorn, Landscape Architect for the project, addressed
the Board and stated that this is the last action in this particular
development.
Mr. Niederkorn said that Phase III -B consists of 29 lots on
Whitetail Drive, and the Marcy Court Phase is proposed to consist of
13 lots. Mr. Niederkorn offered that the 29 lots are in a
single - family clustered development. The 13 lots on Marcy Court
would be a conventional type of development, adding, all of the lots
are larger than the minimum required by the Zoning Ordinance, Mr.
Niederkorn stated that the Town Board has reviewed all of the roads
and the open space, the park that the Town has taken over has just
been completed and is ready for use. Mr. Niederkorn noted that there
is nothing different about the Final Plan from the Preliminary Plat.
Chairperson Grigorov; noted that this was a Public Hearing and

Grigorov closed the Public Hearing and brought the matter back to the
Board for discussion.
Virginia Langhans wondered about the Deed Restrictions. Mr.
Niederkorn responded that the Deed Restrictions on Marcy Court are
the same as those along Teton Court. The Deed Restrictions on the
other part are somewhat different and they are very closely related
to the Deed Restrictions that pertain to "this" part down
"here" which were approved prior to this proposal.
Mr. Hallberg, owner, „offered that he and Town Engineer Dan Walker
had a conversation about an alternate road spec. It takes the oil
and stone surface with the open ditches and replaces it with a
• hard -paved surface with concrete gutters on each side. Mr. Hallberg
said that he was still trying to find out what the numbers are, but
would like the Board', to empower Mr. Walker to accept either
alternative.

Chairperson Grigorov declared the Public Hearing in the
above -noted matter duly opened and read aloud from the Notice of
Public Hearings as posted and published and as noted above.
Mr. Albern addressed the Board and stated that the proposal is
for an addition of 13 double -wide homes to the existing Mobile Home
Park. All of the homes !will be on large lots of 9,000 SF, 10,000 SF,
11,000 SF.
• At this point, Mr. Albern stated that the location of the Mobile
Home Park as noted in the Public Hearing Notice is wrong; it should
be 136 Seven Mile Drive, not 136 -146.
Board Member Virginia Langhans wondered about the water situation.
Mr. Albern stated that there is plenty of water, however, the
whole project is predicated and subject to water and sewer coming
through the area. It will be Town water and sewer; it will not be on
the existing park water system nor on septic.
Chairperson Grigorov wondered about open space. Mr. Albern said
that there is an access area between Lots No. 60 and 61 to the
recreation area.
Chairperson Grigorov,noted that this was a Public Hearing and
asked if there were anyone from the public who had any comments or
questions.
Tony Papandrea, of 146 Seven Mile Drive, appeared before the
Board and voiced a concern about traffic on Route 13, which Seven
Mile Drive feeds into.
Eleanor Sturgeon, of 718 Elmira Road, spoke from the floor and
stated that she was concerned this area was going to be made an urban
area, the density of the housing is going to be as heavy as in the
• City. Ms. Sturgeon also is concerned about traffic. Ms. Sturgeon
stated that she felt trailers were throw -away housing because they
only last maybe 20 -30 years then one throws them away.
Planning Board -9- June 19, 1990
• Jane Schafrik, of 1491 Trumansburg Road, spoke from the floor and
stated that College View Park is one of the finest examples of mobile
home parks that the Town could hope to see. Ms. Schafrik commented
that she did not see where 13 additional homes were going to
influence the traffic.' Ms. Schafrik felt that the park was one small
corner of affordable housing in the Town that should be encouraged.
There appearing to be no one else from the public who wished to
speak to this matter, °Chairperson Grigorov closed the Public Hearing
and brought the matter back to the Board for discussion.
William Lesser wondered if this proposal was the final
development of the property. Mr. Albern answered, yes.
Chairperson Grigorov noted that the Board is considering two
things - one is changing the local law and the other is the site plan.
Assistant Town Planner George Frantz said that no resolutions
were prepared at this! Ipoint; the review has not been finished on the
site plan. As far as the process is concerned, it has to go to the
Town Board, and the Town Board has to amend Local Law No. 6 -1987 that
was originally set up for the approval of the Mobile Home Park
limiting it to 52 units. Mr. Frantz commented that the Town Board,
not the Planning Board, is the Lead Agency for Environmental Review.
The Planning Board will provide a recommendation regarding the SEQR,
and possibly a recommendation regarding the amendment to the Local
• Law that would allow the additional 13 units. Mr. Frantz, referring
to a timeframe, stated that he expects on July 9, 1990 the Town Board
will set the Public Hearing date.
Mr Walker said that the concern staff has, as far as the site
plan, would be a moot point if the local law was not revised to allow
the additional sites.', Mr. Walker noted that there are a couple of
lots pretty close to a stream going through the area, and staff wants
to see a few additional details as far as construction and access is
concerned.
William Lesser wondered about the sufficiency of the recreation
area on, or approximate to the site, adding that there are a number
of potential additional children with 13 more doublewides. Mr.
Frantz responded that' that is one of the things he wants to look at
more closely; he has been to the site but has not been able to
evaluate the proposed recreational areas as part of the Phase
presented tonight to see if they are really suitable. Mr. Frantz
offered that there are approximately 18 acres in.the whole site, and
it does appear that they have at least in excess of the standard
10 %0 Chairperson Grigorov remarked that it is a very nice Mobile
Home Park.
Eva Hoffmann wondered about the sewer and water, and if the Town
has plans to extend water and sewer to the park. Mr. Walker
• responded that that is the Town 1989 Water and Sewer Inlet Valley
Project. Mr. Albern '!:stated that until the Town completes their
design on a water and sewer system he cannot go any farther; the
project is definitely dependent upon water and sewer.

Chairperson Grigorov opened the discussion on the above -noted
matter and read aloud from the Agenda as noted above.
Mr. Les Reizes addressed the Board and stated that the sketch
tplan application originally was submitted in August 1988. Mr. Reizes
said that he attempted to have it reviewed, and at that time the
staff suggested that it,could not be reviewed because of the then
expected Route 96 relocation. Mr. Reizes offered that the original
plan did not take into Consideration' the expected relocation of Route
960 Mr. Reizes said that he met with the Town Planner in November
1989, and it was suggested that the developer realign certain roads
in the subdivision, and also he was informed that, given the steep
slope in part of the site, the site lent itself much more to a
clustered subdivision 'than a traditional subdivision plan. Mr.
Reizes stated that the traditional plan before the Board tonight was
prepared, but Cayuga Cliffs is prepared to accept that the Board can
say - go do a clustered subdivision. Mr. Reizes stated that he would
like to set the density tonight. Mr. Reizes said that the plan
before the Board is a Ido -able plan at this density; it may be
expensive but from an engineering perspective this can be
accomplished. Mr. Reizes said that he does not want to see it built,
and does not think the Board wants to see it built, but the statute
is written the way it is. Mr. Reizes remarked that this is the plan
and the density the site can support. Mr. Reizes stated that if he
gets the approval for the 122 lots he would redesign it for a
clustered subdivision.
Board Member Stephen Smith wondered if there were any contouring
information available. Town Engineer Dan Walker answered that there
• is a slope analysis. i,Board Member Robert Kenerson wondered if there
were any 40 -foot gorges'in the middle. Mr. Walker responded that he
did not think they were more than 10 feet deep, commenting that there
is a significant amount 'of drainage going down the slope. Mr. Walker
stated that there are some 20 % -30% slopes on the site. Mr. Walker
Planning Board -11- June 19, 1990
noted that some of the drainage patterns go right through the middle
of some of the proposed lots, so from that standpoint he did not
think some of the lots were really developable, and also, given the
type of environmental constraints whereby the Town views a
subdivision. Mr. Walker stated that there is a 20% grade on some of
the roadways. Mr. Walker commented that, as far as legal roads, all
the roads do not work. Mr. Kenerson stated that he thought there
should, be one entrance. Mr. Walker stated that an emergency entrance
is nice - there is a potential to put another entrance {indicating on
map} through "here" "although he did not think the owner of "this"
property has any control, but there is space to put another
entrance. Mr. Walker said that for an ideal subdivision layout,
especially with the kind of slope being discussed, another roadway
"here along with the proposed one would be fine, and connecting it
to Route 96 would be much preferred. Mr. Walker said that with the
circulation patterns that are in there now and the potential for
Route 96 possibly coming through "here ", that would help alleviate
some things as far as flow- through traffic and transportation. Mr.
Kenerson stated that 122 potential units are still being discussed,
with Mr. Walker agreeing, but he did not think that 122 was really
do -able on the site. Mr. Kenerson offered that they are looking for
a start. Mr. Walker stated that it is a place to start, but 200 -300
would probably be lost libecause of slope constraints and drainage
constraints. Mr. Kenerson asked if the Town had any position in from
Albany to the corridor for Route 96 as it was originally proposed.
Assistant Town Planner George Frantz said that the State has
essentially abandoned any plans for a new highway on West Hill,
adding, that that has been discussed with Mr. Reizes and Mr. Aloysi.
Mr. Frantz, pointing ,to a map from the DOT, said that the
"yellow /brown" is Alternate B which is, essentially, the same
alignment as the "C" alignment. Continuing, Mr. Frantz offered that
the Town's proposal to'Cayuga Cliffs is to develop a plan that uses a
road that follows the general alignment of the proposed Route 96, and
create a series of cul de sacs off it, or loop roads. Mr. Frantz
commented that the idea would be that this would be a roadway which
would +not have curbcuts or houses fronting it, as on Triphammer Road,
Warren "Road, and residential roads ithat are now arterials. Mr.
Frantz stated that it is the same concept put forth through
"Shalebrook" for Riley Drive. Mr. Frantz noted that this would be a
controlled access road where the only access would be from streets
off it, with no driveways or anything. Mr. Frantz offered that the
Planning Department has been discussing this since last summer, but
the idea would be to have a local connector down to Route 89, which
would "serve the residential areas of West Hill. Mr. Frantz,
indicating on the map, pointed out Cayuga Cliffs. Mr. Frantz said
that the road would come down "here" and connect to the old railroad
grade just north of Williams Glen - it would come through at the
traffic light, where the present Dates Drive is located. Mr. Frantz
said that this would avoid a very substantial bridge which was part
of the Route 96 proposal, then connect with Route 89 in the vicinity
of the Hangar Theatre. Mr. Frantz said that in the area of the
Berggren property it would be more than 5 % -8% grade, but still within
the 10o perameters. Mr. Frantz said that this would be a Town road
built as the area is developed. Mr. Reizes said that the development
would be much denser toward the top on the west of the road where it
is less steep, and much less dense on the other side of the road,

commenting that he had discussed that with the staff when the plan
was re- designed. Chairperson Grigorov said that the Planning Board
has to determine the density tonight. Board Member Stephen Smith
responded that he was not sure the density should be determined
tonight because it is not really taking into account the contouring.
Mr. Reizes stated that the contours were shown on the plan he had
submitted two years ago, the lots were indicated on the map, and the
aerial photo was submitted. Board Member Virginia Langhans asked if
the issue came before the Board. Mr. Reizes answered, no. Mr.
Reizes stated that it did not come before the Board because the Town
Planner decided to allow for the Route 96 relocation. Mr. Frantz
offered that the plan shows 79 lots and it is all R -30 density. Mr.
Reizes stated that that plan actually would have been built, although
it couldn't be built. Mr. Smith wondered why no one would build it.
Mr. Reizes responded that the lots are small; there is too much road
for the size of the lots; it would be economically very expensive to
do the drainage for the site, but engineering -wise it is completely
feasible. Mr. Walker stated that the environmental concerns have to
be taken into account, and, based on that, anything that disturbs
those drainage patterns has to be looked at as not buildable lots.
Mr. Reizes said that the question is - if cost is no object, can this
be engineered and stay within the environmental constraints? Mr.
Reizes stated that the development is within the Town's regulations.
Attorney Barney stated that the highways do not meet the specs.
Attorney Barney said that there is a regulation that involves the
Town Highway specs which says there shall be no grades in excess of
• 100, commenting that this development has highways that are in excess
of 10%0
Mr. Reizes said that he does not want to engineer a plan that is
never going to be built, but if the Board says - you can do 100 lots,
then fine, a plan for 100 lots would be engineered in a clustered
subdivision. Chairperson Grigorov noted that a cluster can only be
as many units as would have been in a conventional.
At this time, Attorney Barney referred to Article V, RULES AND
REGULATIONS FOR CLUSTERED SUBDIVISIONS, Section 32, Paragraph 1,
which states. "The number of dwelling units permitted in a clustered
residential subdivision may in no case exceed the number otherwise
permitted, in the Planning Board's judgment, by the applicable
sections of the Town of Ithaca Zoning Ordinance or Zoning Law, The
Planning Board may restrict the subdivider to a lesser number of
dwelling units if, in the Planning Board's judgment, particular
conditions of the site warrant such restriction. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the density of dwelling units in a clustered development
shall not exceed 3.5 units per gross acre in Residence Districts R -15
and R -30".
Attorney Barney referred to Article V, RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR
CLUSTERED SUBDIVISIONS, Section 32, Paragraph 3, which states: "The
Planning Board may exclude from development areas on the sketch plat
• which, in its opinion, are unsuitable for construction of the
proposed housing because of excessive slopes, poor drainage, or other
considerations which may be injurious to the health, safety, and
welfare of the community." Attorney Barney said that the Board can
take into account the slope, whereas if it is on a flat land one can

Mr. Frantz commented that Cayuga Cliffs could replat the southern
portion to R -15 density, and come back before the Board July 10,
1990, and the Board would look at that plan. Mr. Reizes stated that
he thought it would come up with the same thing. Mr. Reizes stated
that he would rather not redesign it for the fourth time. Mr. Reizes
said that he would take 79 lots and do it in a cluster, which is well
below the density of the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Aloysi noted that it
could be higher than 79.0 Mr. Reizes said that from a practical
standpoint there could be much bigger lots where it is steep and also
smaller lots.
Mr. Frantz commented that, from an overall land use planning
perspective, he would be more comfortable with 100 lots, because of
the proximity to the City. Mr. Frantz said that the site is
relatively close to the City, and with cluster it is accessible to
bus routes, adding, from a anti - sprawl standpoint, having those 20
homes here rather than out another 1/2 to 3 miles is a better idea
for overall land use planning for the Town. Chairperson Grigorov
stated that the Board still has to consider whether there are that
• many buildable lots. Mr. Reizes said that there is no problem with
the sewer line as there are two sewer lines the development could be
connected to, plus the water.
Mr. Smith wondered if the lots would be sold off as building
lots, with Mr. Reizes answering, yes, that is the current thought.
Mr. Reizes said that the large lots are in the R -30 zone, and the
smaller lots are in the R -15 zone.
Mr. Frantz wondered if it would be possible to rework the 1988
plan and submit them at the same time. Mr. Reizes said that he would
like a number. Mr. Frantz stated that he thought the developer could
do a conventional subdivision by utilizing the higher density under
R -15, and get, at least, close to 100 lots. Board Member Eva
Hoffmann stated that she thought Mr. Frantz made a good point, in
that this is a good parcel for denser development, but noted that she
felt very uncomfortable trying to come up with a number based on the
very sketchy information before the Board, and especially at this
late hour. Ms. Hoffmann commented that it would be very nice if the
Board could get copies of the older plan, and copies of the other
plan, with some indication as to which lots are unbuildable, and
which roads are too steep. Mr. Reizes stated that he felt a lot of
effort was being spent on something that is never going to be built.
Mr. Walker stated that the purpose was to set the density and then
not degrade the density, but improve protection of natural areas and
• by staying at the buildable density, a lot of those areas would not
be disturbed because of natural features, steep slopes, and road
restrictions. Mr. Reizes said that the proposal was submitted almost
two years ago. Board Member Robert Miller stated that the Board has
never seen it. Mr. Reizes said that he has had numerous sessions

• with the Planning Department, and he is asking
figure on the number of lots so Cayuga Cliffs

Attorney Barney commented that if Mr. Reizes is willing to do a
sketch plan, and willing to take the risk of doing it simultaneously
with a conventional plan with a number that he thought was buildable,
after some discussion with Dan Walker and George Frantz, then that is
fine. Attorney Barney said that the plan submitted has too many lots
that are not suitable for building, which the Planning Board can
exclude, adding that the Board needs to see a plan that is somewhat
more realistic in terms of what is actually buildable in a meaningful
way, and provides road grades that are appropriate to the subdivision
requirements.
Mr. Walker stated that the Board has to see a conventional
subdivision that has legal roads. Mr. Frantz offered that, given the
increased traffic problems the City is suffering from, more density
has to be looked at closer to the City. Mr. Walker responded that
the proper place to address that is the planning process and the
zoning process. Mr. Walker stated that the design process is not the
responsibility of the Town engineering or the technical staff; they
are here on a reviewing and recommendation basis. Mr. Reizes said
that he was going to rely on the original August 1988 submission,
with the original number of lots indicated on the plan, commenting,
this is the direct result of what the Town Planner asked Cayuga
• Cliffs to come up with; this is not something Cayuga Cliffs dreamed
up for fun. Mr. Reizes said that the 1988 proposal is all R -30
density; they did not take advantage of the additional density
allowed under R -15. Mr. Reizes stated that he was under the
impression the Town would require a cluster subdivision; that is why
the density question was raised and the roads were realigned.
At this point, Attorney Barney suggested that the Board take the
old plan, have Town Engineer Dan Walker and Assistant Town Planner
George Frantz look at it, and indicate whether it looks like the
numbers would work. Mr. Frantz said that he checked the May 2, 1988
plan and it appeared to him that the roads meet the maximum grade
requirements. Assistant Town Planner George Frantz stated that if
Mr. Reizes could get a sketch plan to the next Planning Board Meeting
scheduled for July 10, 1990, then the Board would review it. Mr.
Reizes responded that he would get all the information in order and
return on the 10th of July.
Chairperson Grigorov asked if there were any other comments.
There being none, Chairperson Grigorov declared the matter of the
Cayuga Cliffs Subdivision Sketch Plan Review duly closed.

To the Town of Ithaca Planning Board
June 19, 1990
I am writing this letter to support the proposal for expansion of the Inlet
Valley Land Coop and improvement of the road. As an Environmental Biologist,
I am deeply concerned with the quality of life, not only for myself, but for the
community and world at large. Nine years ago when I heard about the concept of
the Inlet Valley Land Coop, I was sure that this innovative mix of housing and
conservation of the land was ideal. A large portion of the commonland bordering
on the north, contains a stream and watershed area which feeds directly to the
Inlet valley and hence to Cayuga lake. It is imperative that this watershed and
ecologically sensitive area remain undeveloped to preserve the quantity and quality
• of water. Our concept of limited development and permanent sheltering of the
commonland will accomplish the necessary protection.
My other concern is over the constant erosion of the coop road which
deposits large amounts of soil onto Calkins road and the bordering culverts.
Improvement of the road surface should prevent further erosion and enable proper
services to reach the taxpaying home owners on the coop. Since I have cardiac
problems, it is vital for me to be sure that emergency vehicles would have easy
access to my house.
I think we are doing our part for the community by developing an
ecologically sound environment in which to live. I would now like to see the town
reciprocate by doing something for the taxes which we have paid over the years.
Thank you for patiently listening to my thoughts.
Sincerely
