CITIZENS PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR . Stephen Shulman was present and passed out a copy of a letter from the Tompkins County Health Department giving him final approval . He pointed o ut that his trailer park is the only one of the last t ree before the Board that has both state and local health department a • proval and is the o nly one that has not been approved by the Town Board . Supervisor McCord read a letter from Dr . Broad that stated Mr . Shu man ' s plans for the disposal of sewage from the trailer park was approv = d by one of their engineers . At this point , discussion centered around eapplying for a new hearing or reconsideration of the Board . For the Board to reconsider , there must be a unanimous vote to rehear and still must go to a public hearing . Mr . Shulman said that he would be willing to make a new applicatio . for his mobile home park based on previously submitted 1 - tters and data which the Board requested and received up until this time as required by said Board . It was decided to set the hearing for Novem • er 24 at 7 P . M . Clayton Cranmer was present and wanted to know how he stood with his permit . Supervisor McCord read a letter from Richard Wilsen conc : rning the " screening " of Mr . Cranmer ' s trailer park project . He di & not feel the screening was effective enough in size and density . He s ggested that Mr . Cranmer comply with the regulations set out in his " Special Permit .'.' . Attorney Amdur read the Zoning Officer ' s report on page 6 of the Minutes it of the October 13 Regular Board Meeting re Cranmer failu e to erect a buffer strip . Zoning Officer Stewart reported that Mr . ranmer has planted a screen of hemlocks about 9 feet apart and about 4 feet tall . Mr . Cranmer said he would plant them thicker if the Board requested it . Mr . Cranmer said the one side is already naturally screened by trees and bushes . The buffer strip is already there as far as he is concerned . Attorney Amdur read a letter from Clayton Cranmer to the Supervisor and embers of the ,Board that he was held up from planting the buffer strip • ecause of the delay of the utility fixtures for several weeks and extra work keeping the ditches open due to the rain and the 90 day deadline . lipped by him unnoticed . He pointed out that his intentions are to do hat is right and he has planted trees from four to seven feet high :, 9 Beet apart , instead of seedlings as was his previous intention . Coun . ilman Cotterill said this had gotten ridiculous at this point , whether Mr Cranmer planted the trees 90 days or 94 days , he did not feel the need fo arguing about it . He said that he would like to make the motion that the Board drop the whole thing right now . Members of the Board were in agreement to drop it and forget the whole thing and Mr . Cranmer ' s permit would not be revoked . I 83 STANDING COMMITTEES BUILDINGS & GROUNDS : Councilman Gridley tacked a plan upon the wall for a highway building , size 100x60xand constructed of steel .

PUBLIC RELATIONS : Nothing to report this month . "' COUNCILMEN PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR Councilman Cotterill reported that he has heard nothing from the Jaycees regarding the town directory . Councilman Webb wanted4to know if the junk cars on Red Mill Rd . were being cleaned up . Zoning Officer Stewart said he had talked to Mr . George about the situation and he promised to clean up the junk-. ATTORNEY Attorney Amdur read a report from Morris Peck , member of the Planning Board . regarding action by the Health Department to stop pollution in Fall Creek . The possibility of formation of a Fall Creek Sewer District is in the talking stage . It would include the Village of Freeville , Etna and McLean . There is question on whether they have to build their own plant which in- volves considerable expense , or go to the Village of Dryden . There is also question as to whether or not there can be accommodation that far out . Attorney Amdur commented that the Village is a separate company and would have to do something in cooperation in assuming the Town wants it . She said that it would look like it will have to be a new plant rather than use of any existing plants . . Attorney Amdur also reported that Michael Pichel is suing the Town . The basis of the suit is a judgment declaring the Town of Dryden Zoning Ordinanc void . Attorney Amdur said that we have already had a proceeding on that and a decision from Judge Sloan . The Judge made it very clear that Mr . Pichel had no grievance . , .' /Attorney Amdur said that this is not an actual summons and will be taken care of in a civil manner . Another problem relating to Mr . Pichel , the Town has a proceeding in Justice Court on the permit which was the reason the proceeding went before Judge Sloan in the first place . She reported there have been problems in the course of the proceedings in Justice Court , the Sheriff ' s Department tried to make the service a couple of times and failed . There seems to be some reluctance on the part of the Sheriff to serve . She reported that she had discussions with Judge Newhart and the District Attorney and it was her understanding that the District Attorney would agree to prosecute . Later she received a letter from District Attorney McHugh stating in part that due to the nature of the office being part - time and that his present burden is so substantial that it would be impractical and unwise for him to take on this additional task . He also stated that while the District Attorney has the right to act in such cases , he does not have the obligation particularly when his office has more pressing matters . He suggested that the town or village may - obtain its own attorney to enforce the zoning ordinance . He stated that the villag attorney can be designated as Assistant District Attorney in order to prosecute zoning offenses , but the attorney would be prohibited from acting as attorney for defense in any court . Attorney Amdur said this was a possibility for the village attorney to prosecute for the village , but under Town Law , the town attorney can not do this under any circumstances . Sec . 135 of Town Law states if the proceedings are in the nature of a criminal action , it is the duty of the District Attorney to conduct the prosectUtion . Attorney Amdur suggested that she and Supervisor McCord get together with District Attorney McHugh and see that can be done . Attorney Amdur reported that they will have the Code of Ethics ready by December . , ' ' 1 I 84 ZONING OFFICER Zoning Officer Stewart reported that he has issued eight permits sinc - the last regular board meeting . He wanted to know if a mobile home w : s allowed on the same lot with a house or did it mean that it had to be on a separate lot . He noted that the Zoning Ordinance . reads " Mobile home. on individual lots " . Supervisor McCord and Attorney Amdur both said t would have to be on a individual lot . Attorney Amdur said that it wa4• a simple procedure to have a conveyance of the second lot . He reporte ' - - that Mr . Roy Draper had called requesting that the Town act as fence feelers in a dispute with the Village. of Dryden . Attorney Amdur reported that the Village owns some property in the Town of Dryden which was acquired for extra water supply and is not in use yet . Mr . Draper own - adjoining parcel of land on which he grows corn and Mr . Carrier ' s cattle came across the Village property and got into Mr . Draper ' s cor - field and ate the corn . Mr . Draper has demanded the Village fix the f - nce . Attorney Amdur has obtained an opinion from the Attorney General ' s • office that the village as a sub - division of the state does not come under the definition of a owner under the adjoining fence owners secti . n . She has sent copies of the deed to the Attorney General and she sent copies of the opinion of the Attorney General to Mr . Draper and his at orney . As far as maintaining the fence is concerned , that is between two adjoining individual owners and the village is exempt , and that conforms as long as it is public lands for public use . Attorney Amdur said that the Town Board has to act as fence feelers in any fence dispute in the town , si ce li there is no longer an assessor . She said as far as she was concerned , the village is exempt by the opinion of the Attorney General . The consensu . of the Board was to accept the Attorney General ' s opinion . Supervisor McCord asked Mr . Stewart to relay that the judgment handed down by the Attorney General is valid and the Board can do nothing about it .

PUBLIC HEARING - STEPHEN SHULMAN Supervisor McCord called the Public Hearing to order at 7 : 10 P . M . Present w ere Supervisor McCord , Councilmen Gridley , . Cotterill , Tarr and Webb , Zoning Officer Stewart and Attorney Amdur . Supervisor McCord introduced members of the Board to the people present . Supervisor McCord read the legal notice that appeared in the newspapers publishing the Public Hearing . Supervisor McCord reported that Mr . Shulman was denied a permit at a previous meeting on the question of sewage disposal by those members of the Board that voted against granting Mr . Shulman a Special Permit to construct a trailer park on Hanshaw Road . Supervisor McCord read a letter from Dr . Robert Broad , Commissioner of III Health of Tompkins County , as follows : " Dear Mr . McCord : The Tompkins County Board of Health has proceeded to the point in revision of the Tompkins County Sanitary Code in establishing its rules and regulations concerning discharge of sewage effulent old the surface of the ground . It is to be understood , of course , that when this code is completed it will be subject to a public hearing and approval by the Tompkins County Board o f Representatives . Plans for disposal of sewage from the trailer park proposed by Mr . Shulman were approved by one of the engineers from the ✓ egional office of the State of New York , New York . State . Environmental Conservation . And since our new code is not yet applicable , the Health Department has no present method of being further restricted . The matter h as been thoroughly reviewed in person with Mr . Shulman and he has an understanding that further expansion of the trailer park , should he desire , will mean the compliance of the Sanitary Code of the County Health D epartment in effect at that time . He states that he has no plans for e xpansion and understands our proposed requirements . , Signed - Robert H . Broad " . At this time he asked members of the Town Board if they would like any ✓ eview of information . Being none , he opened the floor and requested that anyone making a comment or asking a question to please state their III name . Donald Griffin of Hanshaw Road felt that there was not enough d rainage for sewage from the trailers . He reported that he had Ernie Cole out to look at his land because he was thinking of putting in camp - sites and Cole said the only thing he would put in there would be drain tiles and it was really wet . Supervisor McCord reported that the State Engineers have assisted Mr . Shulman in preparing a adequate sewage system for what Mr . Shulman was proposing . Mrs . Chandler from Hanshaw Road wanted to know why should they have another trailer park there when there is just another one down the road . Also she was concerned about the water supply in a dry year . She felt that the water supply would not be sufficient for 40 trailers and also give them adequate water supply . Mr . Shulman reported that the Tompkins County Health Department has proposed that he drill two different wells at two different levels , therefore , tapping two separate systems and he also must have a water storage system that will contain enough water to last for several days . Mrs . Chandler d id not like the idea of the park as it would mean more students living o n their street and that the value of the land will go down and the taxes w ill increase . Supervisor McCord reported the assessed valuation of mobile home parks is considerably in excess of a private individuals home . He also reported that the studies that have been done to his knowledge show that there is no undue burden on the school system and, therefore , be • a direct increase in taxes . Hesaid if there is a demand for this type of living , we have got to consider it . Mr . C . B . Shulman reported that we are living in an educational community and the students must have a place 2 to live and in many cases they can not afford anything more than a trailer . Also there are a lot of married people who are not students and they too . find that tar trailer is the answer to their housing problem . They ran a survey about a month ago and could not find any available trailer spaces . He also reported that as far as the Town of Dryden is concerned , especially in that particular area , there are a number of trailers scattered all over that area and they want to go in and develop $ a trailer park with the approved plan that has been submitted to the Board and it will make the area much nicer than it is now . It is his hope that in years to come that there will be a County Water and Sewer District in that area . , I 1 L i 1 1 �.. . , b' f r `. IN , .

I • v 89 Mrs . Chandler wanted to know why the Health Department would not allow a housing project at this same location a few years ago because of inadequate sewage and water supply , when now they will allow a trailer park there . Supervisor . McCord replied that the Board has evidence from both the state and county that the sewage system does meet the state and local requirements . Councilman Cotterill replied that he did not think the county will state whether they feel there is adequate water . Council - man Cotterill reported that this had been discussed with many people and it was concluded that there is not enough data to be able to concretely say there is water enough or there isn ' t ; there is not that much research to determine the effects of a well 1 / 2 or 1 / 4 mile away . Stephen Shulman reported that his well was 42 feet and it was tested by pumping it for If hours and it did not run dry , this was in 1968 . Mr . Robert Keech requested that Mr . Shulman explain the sewage system to clarify why this same land was not useable for development a few years ago but it can now be usera mobile home park development . Mn ;: Shulman reported that within the • last few years there have been different Methods of handling sewage and sewage systems . There are now chlorine type tank filters that effluent has to run through and different ways of using sand filters and different size of septic tanks . This eliminates a lot of the problems they had be - fore because they didn ' t have the technology or the knowledge to handle it properly . Mr . Shulman claimed that is why the engineers in Syracuse came down . He also paid a licensed engineer to do a study of that area to . design the best possible system . Mr . Shulman tacked the drawing of the proposed park on the wall . He pointed out the area of the septic system that will have two large sand filters and a chlorine contact chamber . He reported that the wells and water storage tank has been designed so it won ' t cause any problems to any body . There will be landscaping across the front to isolate the trailer park from the people across the street and landscaping up both sides . Mr . Keech said that he could see by the map that they are not relying on drainage , but on a filter system . The question of pets was brought up by Mrs . Chandler . Mr . Shulman replied that pets will be kept to a minimum if at all , and only at the back of the park will they be allowed . Hearing adjourned 7 : 40 P . M . SPECIAL MEETING In the absence of Supervisor McCord , who had to leave for a meeting with the residents in Varna , Deputy Supervisor Gridley assisted .
