Supervisor Blatchley commended Mr. Fowler for his fine representation
of the Town at the Town Planning Board meetings and Environmental Committee
meetings.
Mr. Fowler reported that the Planning Board would be giving their final
approval to the Meadowbrook (now called Northwood) project after some minor
modifications are made by the developer.
Supervisor Blatchley reported he had been attending the Business &
Industrial Development meeting of the Cortland Chamber of Commerce, giving
special interest to the developments of the County Sewer Agency. A
consulting engineer has been hired to make a study for the County Sewer
Agency. Mr. Blatchley reported that he had received assurance from
Senator Tarky Lombardi that there would be a flashing signal at the •
intersection of route 90 and Starr Rd.
Regarding South Cortland Water, Mr. Blatchley reported there would be

Health Dept.; Hr. James McCarthy of New York State Health Dept.; Dr. John
Harsh; Walter Spencer; John Gardner and himself.
Justice Fish requested Mr. Rowell to look into the matter of the state's
revamping of route 281 at Fisher Ave. He is concerned that the state may
re-route water into a non -existing creek thus causing flooding problems to
properties on Fisher Ave.
Michele Waddy of Pendleton St. Ext. presented a petition signed by 15
residents, requesting the reduction of speed limit on Pendleton St. Ext.
between the city line and Saunders Rd. She stated that there had been
several accidents due to excessive speed on this road. Upon motion of
Justice Fish, seconded by Gouncilman Miller, all voting aye, the petition
was ordered received and filed and referred to the County Highway Dept.
Supervisor Blatchley said he would take care of this.
Mickey Nobles,
representing Frank K. Taylor Hose
Co. #4, requested
permission for the
firemen to install an ice skating
rink behind the
municipal building
on Rte. 281. They will stand the
cost of installation
and maintainance.
He assured the Town Board that the
property would not
be defaced and that there would be qualified supervision
available, at no
cost to the town.
The only problem they can foresee
is lighting and requested
the Town Board to provide flood lights for the rink.
Justice Eaton questioned the matter of liability.
Supervisor Blatchley questioned if the municipal building would be
used in connection with the rink.
Mr. Nobles stated that there would be a limited use of the building for
toilet facilities but the use of the building would be under close
supervision. He could foresee no problems. If any problems did arise, they
would stop the use of the building.
Justice Fish stated a definite answer on the matter of liability should
be obtained before permission is given. Attorney Gardner said he would contact
Mr. Barth regarding the liability insurance and will report back to the
Board at the next meeting.
William Rowell brought up some possible problems that might arise
and asked how they would be resolved, such as how the water was going to
be held on the surface; how water was going to be brought to the rink; and
how it was going to be lighted?
Mr. Nobles said that all these problems had been discussed in their
meeting and would be resolved by the firemen with the exception of the
lighting, which they hoped the town would provide.
After some discussion, it was decided to grant provisional permission
to install the rink.

Supervisor Blatchley reported he had met with the Cortland City Mayor
and his traffic safety control engineer, Myron Barber and Ray MacDougall
from the State Dept. of Transportation. They are planning a traffic
safety control program for the Cortland urban area which will include the
city of Cortland, part of the Town of Cortlandville, part of the Town of Homer,
and all of the Village of Homer. The program will be funded 70/ by the
Federal Government and 30/ by the localities. The 30/ local funds would
come from a non cash cost (in kind services. It will remain under local
control. There will be a planning committee.,.a '�olicy,committee, and a
preliminary engineering planning committee (PEP). Each municipality will
select potential traffic hazard areas which will be studied and investigated
by Mr. MacDougall. He will report his finding and recommendations to the
policy committee. The policy committee will determine what areas of the
municipalities will be rebuilt. Mr. Blatchley read a letter which he had
been requested to sign on behalf of the town regarding this program. He
recommended that the -town enter the program. The Board gave him informal
permission to sign the letter on behalf of the town.
Mrs. James Riotto of McLean Rd. presented a petition signed by 4.6
residents of McLean Rd. requesting the Town Board to make improvements on
the McLean Rd. from Rte 281 to Deerfield Heights.
Attorney Gardner pointed out that McLean Rd. is a County Highway and
cannot be improved by the town. This comes under the jurisdiction of the
County Legislature, he said.
Legislator, Delmar.Palm stated the petition did not necessarily mean
improvements to the road.
Upon questioning by Mr. Gardner, Mrs. Riotto stated they wished a lower
® speed limit from Stupke Rd. to Deerfield Hts. and to re-route the truck traffic.
pe ition
Mr. John Matson stated that the was in support of the proposal he
had presented to the Town Board at their last meeting.
Attorney Gardner advised them that the speed limit on this road is
controlled by the State. As far as re-routing the truck traffic, Attorney
Gardner said the Town does have authority to set up a route system for trucks.
It must be determined, he said, where this truck traffic is going to be re-routed
when it comes into the county on the McLean Rd. He advised that some thought
be given to the possibilities available before any definite decision is made
on a truck route system.
Mr. Matson advised that some preliminary work for road classifications has
been done by the County Planning Board and thought they and County Highway
Supt., Walter Tennant, would be able to help the town in planning a truck route.
Attorney Gardner told the Board that County Highway Supt., Walter Tennant
was making some testa on the condition of the pavement on the McLean Rd. to see
242

what is causing it to break up and that any decisions should be postponed
until the results of the tests are obtained.
Supervisor Blatchley said he would see what he could do about getting
the speed limit reduced on McLean Rd. between Stupke Rd. and the County line.

Supervisor Blatchley called for a discussion on Sammons Communications
petition to amend the franchise. Justice Eaton said he had received several
calls from people who told him they would like cable T.V. extended to their
areas. He said that he thought this was between the home owners and Sammons
Communication. However, he said, he had studied the petition thoroughly and
based on this, he moved to deny the petition. Councilman Griswold asked
him for specific reasons and Justice Eaton replied that Sammohs-Communications
had removed two channels and that he had receivedl several complaints that the
service was not good as it should be and that one of the best channels had
been removed and is being used for home box office, which they have to pay
extra for.
Attorney Gardner read a letter from Helen Amdur, Attorney for Sammons
Communications, dated 10/20/75, advising that Sammons Communications had
decided to restore the Binghamton Educational channel and removed,instead,
a commercial station (Channel 4.0-Binghamton) in order to allow home box office
to continue. Also they are considering alternatives which would allow them
to put back all existing channels and still carry home box office. It would
take them some time to determine the feasability of these alternatives. The
only way that home box office can be provided at the present time is to use
one of the existing channels.
Councilman Miller stated he had not received any complaints, however,
he had heard that home box office was decreasing in popularity. He said if
Sammons Communications would do what they said they would in providing cable
T.V. to people in Blodgett Mills and beyond, he would be in favor of the
increase.
Supervisor Blatchley stated he was in favor of the increase and that it
was justified for the following reasons:
1. There had not been a price increase since 1968.
2. He called two of the three people who had objected to the increase
at the public hearing and after telling them of the change in the
channel which would be used for home box office, they were satisfied.
3. It is important to provide service for additional people.
Mr. Blatchley read a letter he had received today from Mrs. Kay Feinstein,
of Sammons Communication, stating that Mr. Webb, Vice Pres. of the Eastern Div.
has assured the commitment of Mr. William Strange to extend cable service to
® Blodgett Mills and including Hoxies Gorge. This commitment will be fulfilled only
if the price increase is approved.
Mr. John Matson said he hoped the Town Board would not be bribed into
approving a rate increase. He feels that Sammons Communications should be
extending their service at the present rates and that they have not kept pace
with other suppliers of Cable T.V. in surrounding areas.
Legislatop, Delmar Palm said that several people had raised the question
to him on why Sammons Communication should be granted a rate increase at the
same time they were removing a station. Also why they could not receive
Canadian stations.
Attorney Gardner suggested that there should be further discussions with
Sammons Communications regarding these questions which have been raised.
Since there had not been a second to his motion, Justice Eaton withdrew
the motion to deny the petition.
Councilman Miller made a motion to table the matter until further
244
Wednesday, November 5, 1975

discussions with Sammons Communications can be had. Councilman Griswold
seconded the motion. All vot ed aye. Motion carried.

Homer. Mr. Rowell & Mr. Blatchley are in the process of
setting up a meeting with Mayor Calale for a preliminary
discussion - hopefully before the next board meeting.
Re: Gorman Development - The developer was to get some comfirmation from the
Village of Homer that the Village would be willing and able
to provide water to the proposed water district. Mr. Rowell
has received no communication that this has been accomplished.
These are matters, he said, which will have to be resolved
with the Village of Homer.
1,.Ate they willing & able to provide water to the
proposed district:
2. At what rate and conditions?
Mr. Rowell stated he and Mr. Blatchley are planning to meet with the
County Health Dept. and the Regional Health Dept. of the State of New York
and others to review some of the projects being considered by the Town,
such as the South Cortland Water and sewers within the area. He urged the
town board members to review the letter he had submitted to them so that
some decisions could be made soon on the Groton Ave. sewer matter.
Mr. Rowell advised.the board that, as requested, he had investigated the
sewer construction at Penguin Trailer Park. The pipe which had been improperly
installed was removed and relaid. There are some other items yet to be
resoloved and are presently being worked on.. Mr. Bean is aware of what is
expected of him and is willing to cooperate.

Justice Eaton reported that Mr. Edward Stiles had requested approval of
the double surface treatment on Gwen Lane and a portion of Northway Dr. so
that the performance bond being held in escrow could be released. Mr. Rowell
stated that he and Highway Supt.,Carl Eaton, had inspected the work done on
the road and found that the street pavement is in good shape but found three
items, which they called to Mr. Stiles' attention, and requested that the
following be done before approval of the job is given.

Re: Groton Avenue Sewer Investigation
Progress Report
Gentlemen:
We have been considering sewer extension and sanitary sewer
services on Groton Avenue, westerly of the City of Cortland,
in accordance with the request of the Town Board. We believe
we have reached some conclusions as of this date and wish to
have the Board consider these items.
It appears we have three different types of areas which will
be benefited by sewer services along Groton Avenue and other
adjacent areas. Porter Realty, or others which are owned
or controlled'by William Porker, installed sanitary sewer
facilities a year,.,or two ago'in order to provide public sewer
services to the Groton Avenue.Shopping Center. This system is
now in service, apparently meets the needs of the Shopping
Center, and it is intended this facility will remain in service
for many years to come. The developer.has paid the complete
expense for installing this facility and connecting it to the
City sewerage system.
it is intended a trunk line sewer will be installed along
Groton Avenue from the City of Cortland westerly to Route 281
and that a considerable part of the expense involved with the
construction of this trunk line sewer will be funded by state
and federal agencies. This trunk line sewer is intended to
serve a considerable part of the Town in this area. Properties
abutting this proposed sewer construction will be able to con-
nect to the trunk line sewer�as it will be a gravity sewer..
The cost to the properties adjacent to Route 281 will include
the cost of.lateral sewers, pumping facilities, and part of the
cost of the referenced trunk 'sewer. There will be no benefit
ENGINZEERING DIVISION
Mr. Robert Blatchley, Supervisor November 5, 1975
and Town. Board Page -2-
to the Groton Avenue Shopping Center as a result of construction
of the referenced trunk sewer.
Since Porter Realty has already installed sewers serving the
properties and paid for these facilities, it does not seem
reasonable to charge them for any of the.cost of the trunk
sewer. Actually, all town sewer districts are intended to be
formed on the "benefit.basis" and there is no benefit from the
trunk line sewer. We, therefore, believe that a sewer district
should be formed, which we have referred to as Sewer. District
No. 2, in such a manner that it encompasses the Shopping Center
properties now connected to the existing sewer. We have shown
on the attached drawing the proposed limits of Sewer District
No. 2 andyouu will note that all facilities are now connected
to the existing sewer except for the Prudential Insurance build-
ing. This can be readily connected to the manhole back of the
new Firestone building.
I have consulted with Mr..Porter in the past regarding forma-
tion of this sewer district and explained to him that there are
certain improvements that will be required before Town accept-
ance of the facilies. Either the improvements can be made by
the developer and paid.for by him before Town acceptance of these
facilities or the Town can accept these facilities in their present
condition, make the necessary improvements and then charge the
district for the improvements. It would be more reasonable for
the developer to make the improvements before transferring owner-
ship.to the Town. Mr. Porter has agreed to this and asked for
a list of the items which should be taken care of. We have sub-
mitted this list to Mr. Porter's office and presume we will be
hearing from him .wi.thin the next few days..
We are not prepared to give a report on sewer facilities for
properties other than the Shopping Center at this time but
believe we will have a report within the'next month regarding
some of these areas. If the Town feelsthat they wish to pro-
ceed with Sewer District No. 2 in the manner indicated, there
are then a number of items which we believe should be undertaken.
without further delay. In general, these items are as listed
below:
1) Porter Realty should provide a map showing the actual
ownership of the properties within the Shopping Center
complex that are intended to be included in Sewer
District No. 2, together with the deed reference show-
ing ownership of the parcels.
n
♦1
mr. Robert Blatchley, Supervisor November 5, 1975
and Town Board. Page -3-
2) Porter Realty should provide copy of deeds showing
the sale of properties to Hotdog Forever, Budget
Brand Gas, Photomat and Carrol's. if there are
definite metes and bounds descriptions of these
parcels it is our intent a.district line will follow
these property lines.
3) Porter Realty should repair. the sanitary sewers to
make them satisfactory to the Town before dedication.
4) Provisions should be made for construction of the
lateral providing service to the Prudential building.
5) • The Town should negotiate a satisfactory agreement
with the City of Cortland for connection to the exist-
ing and proposed Groton Avenue sewer and a yearly fee
should be established to cover the cost of transmittal
of sewage through (the C'ity's system and for treatment
of the sewage at the municipal treatment plant.
6) A public hearing should be established in accordance
with standard procedures for a sewer district.
if the Board agrees.with these items it is suggested that the
Town Supervisor, Town Attorney and Town Engineer be authorized
to p:oceed with the necessary,negotiations.
Please advise us of your thoughts.
Sincerely,
