I regret to inform you that it has become necessary to
postpone your request for a Special Permit Hearing to

before the hearing . This being the case , I have no choice
but to cancel the hearing and reschedule this hearing some
time in the future . I assure you , that this notice was
mailed in plenty of time to comply with necessary lead time
o f two days prior to the requested printing date , however ,
for some reason ,rn , the paper did not receive it .
Oil At the next Town Board function , VII request that the Board
✓ eschedule this hearing for the Regularly scheduled May
10th , 1990 Town Board Meeting . As some as I have a
commitment from the Board for a Hearing Date , I ' l l

Motion was made by Glm Roberts and 2nd Glrn Corrigan that the
minutes of the town board meeting held April 1 +0 , 1990 be approved
as submitted . Carried
COUNCILMAN P R I V I L.EUG OF THE FLOOR
Co . Rep Evans - the County Board voted to have the construction
committee recommend an independentI team of experts to review the
W altman alligation against the DR7 site and fEIS . The committee
is meeting tomorrow to decide whom to choose . An independent
committee review will be done with O ' Brien & Sere and Mr . Waltman
on the final environmental statement as regard to soil and
drainage .
S Lrpv Schug - wanted to know if the Town could gat a dopy of NW .
W altrnans review .
Co . Rep Evans - Atty Perkins has received a copy of the report -
S upv Schug - when the committee is picked he would like the
Town ' s soil scientist Mr . Wulfro +.; t to be inf +,irmed and included ,
Co . Rep Evans - could not see any reason why it could not be
done . He had recommended that the solid waste committee select 2
people , Mr . Waltman select 2 people and then the 4 of those
select one of their choice ,
S tpv Schug -- wrote to the County Board concerning the town
✓ esidents having to pay sales tax on the garbage tags and yet the
✓ illage residents do not have to and was what wondering what the
• status was .
Co . Rep Evans - anybody who has to pay for garbage pickup has to
pay the soles tax . It is like paying a mechanic to work on your
car .
D o . Rep Watros - the villager are tax exempt and they are under
contract with the hauler . I f the town wanted to enter into a
contract they could do, the same thing .
C ';' . Rep Evans - the problem of that is that you have more than
o ne hauler and the hauler bill has to be paid before you can
✓ eceive your tags . The hauler has to pay for the trash at the
landfill therefore he is recovering in getting the revenue from
the tags ,
Co . Rep Wa. tr ';' s - said that they would get the legal definition .
Co . Rep Watros -- they will he discussing the elimination of the
equalization rate on the school tax in the City of Ithaca . The
City of Ithaca school tax impacts on cnorie parts in the Town of
Dryden . The town and county tuxes will be calculated on the basis
o f current market value without any adjustment t n the
e qualization . The sich '_" o1 requires special legislation before they
'rs5- s -- Jo page 3
can do it , The City of Ithaca has requested that city school tax
be computed on the same basis 50 that they don ' t use three year
o ld equalization rates to adjust the distribution of tax levy . He
f eels that it will pass the board and could have a positive or
negative effect on the Town of Dryden residents . It will be a
more accurate means because they wi 11 be using the county
assessed values which w i l l be adjusted annually and current
market rates where in the past they have used the equalization
✓ ates which was based on three year old data with what the state
collects .
CITIZEN! PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR
Fred Pr i t t , 1 E3a S 1 at ery i 1 1 e Rd - he has canvassed the
S laterville Rd to see if there is an interest in a water and
sewer district and has received a good response with h i s
petitions . He has covered about 1 1 / 2 miles and will have the
petitions ready ady by next board meeting .
S upv Schug - if there are a significant number of people that are
interested then it will be up to the Town Board to let out bids
for an engineering study .
COUNCILMAN PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR
bin Roberts - would like to bring up the issue of the proposed RA
zone There was a proposal that came to the Planning Board last
year and would like to see what the Town Board cou ld do to get it
to the public and find out the interest .
✓ im Walbridge - went over the original proposal with Clm Roberts
and Chairperson Caldwell and some of the issues as haw to define
o verlay zones and forester . There also needs to be a system for
boundary lines as to how they are drawn because it would 90
t hrough different slopes and soils , on property instead of
property edges . They need an exemption from Town Law that states
the least restrictive zone has preference for 100 feet otherwise
they would have to move the boundary to that zone . Also the
d efinition of a licensed engineer , a licensed drainage plan an
t he wording has to be consistent .
S uper Schrg - thcorght that all of this information should be given
to Atty Perkins so that he could draft what would be needed for
the zoning book by the next board meeting . After the board agrees
t hat this is the net that it should be written then we can hold
some public hearings , After much discussion it was decided to
hold an informational meeting on May 31st at 7100PM at the Town
H all
Cle Walbridge - spoke to the sewer board about the Town of Dryden
buying more capacity . They need from Hunt Engineer or the town
engineer a specific proposal with how much would come from
d ifferent areas and address it to the & .IS sewer committee , Also
TU -yA - 9O page 4
the board was not exactly sure what the procedure was so they put
it off for a month so they could check on it .
S upv Sch '.sg - he understood that it was $ 50 , 000 . 00 a share and the
share was whatever the total of the plant was divided by 100 . The
additional shares were owned by the Town of Ithaca and that was
w here we were to buy the shares from ,
Clm Walbridge - there was discussion on all different
d isagreements as to whether you buy the excess capacity or
w hether you buy from the Town of Ithaca .

JUSTICE REPORT - $ 5 , 053 . 00 for the month of April
FINANCIAL REPORT - given to board members
H elen Lang - questioned about how the water and sewer assessments
were applied . The information that she has received is part of
the formula that is used is the acreage and road frontage . The
way she sees it the acreage charges are only applied to parcels
which don ' t have road frontage . She did not think that this was
an equitable way to distribute the cost .
® Supv Schug - it is percentage of assessment , road frontage and
units .
TB5 - 8 - 90 page tO
Clm Walbridge - you were told that if there was no road frontage
you would be charged for acreage , so that the ones that did have
✓ oad frontage ware not being charged acreage .
H elen Lang - that is what she was told .
Clm Walbridge - this should be looked into before tomorrow nights
informational meeting .
Clm Corrigan - she was also told this and that S or 9 parcels are
similar to that in the district .
H elen Lang - if they took the cost that was part of the budget
that was supposed to he allotted for 5 percent of the cost for
each parcel and put that 5 percent on the parcels which didn ' t
have road frontage and are listed in the maps as acreage . They
are being asked to pay almost as much on a 2 acre property which
H as no road frontage on a lot that is not buildable and isn ' t
e ven being serve by the sewer as they are on a parcel which has
their house on it .
Atty Perkins - wanted to know if it was contiguous ?
Helen Lang °- yes , it is .
Bubv & chug -- wanted to knew if it could be subdivided ?
Atty Perkins - you would have to 1oink. at what is under common
o wnership . If you have a house parcel that is a minimum size lot
and you have all of this acreage that adjoins it in the rear
owned by the same people it could be a rational basis .
H elen Lang - it is under ' parcel numbers , but she is also saying
that if you have a lot with l : 5 feet of road frontage and 200
feet deep , you are charged the same for road frontage and acreage
w hich is nothing for acreage with someone who has 125 feet of
✓ oad frontage and hh acres behind it .
Atty Perkins - the formula is subject to review every year and
there is a public hearing that anyone can come and comment on so
that if it needs to be adjusted it can be .
H elen Lang - you can do that on an individual basis , but she
could not find anything in writing as to how the formula is
arrived at .
Atty Perkins - there isn ' t anything in writing , but annually
there is a notice that is published and a resolution .
Clm Walbridge - how can people vote on a proposal if they don ' t
know what they are voting on .
Atty Perkins -- they are not voting on the formula .

III Clrn Walbridge -- what the people are voting on is what they feel
are the annual costs for this . There are other issues as well and
if the formula does not mean anything why did we do it . We need
to give the people representative numbers .
Atty Perkins - the question is how do you administratively
interpret the 5 percent of the total to be raised on the acreage .
Clrn Corrigan - said she had brought this question up twice so
that it could be discussed . She was told that there are 9 parcels
that have this same type of problem .
Helen Lang - the parcel that has road frontage would not be
charged for acreage and the parcel that has acreage has no road
frontage . She has 3 properties that are contiguous , 2 have
f rontage and 1 does not have frontage . The c acre parcel has
almost as high assessment on it , which has no read frontage , no
u nits on it , canrn_ot be developed and cannot be served by the
w ater and sewer .
S upv Schug - if someone has 54 feet of road frontage and behind
that there is 90 acres , on that 50 for 60 feet of road frontage
t hey could build a road and subdivide the property because there
w ould be water and sewer available .
Atty Perkins - a person who has this available could afford to
O
sit on the property if they were not paying a fair share of it
Helen Lang - did not see how you could legally apply different
criteria to different properties , because every property has
acreage
Clrn Corrigan ° is looking at some sort of equity and did not
q uestion the legality of it because the town has the right to
e stablish a formula .
Clrn Walbridge - the people at the meeting tomorrow night would
like to know exactly how things are going to be figured out so if
there is a rationale for charging acreage we will be able to
answer them .
S upv Schug - will get the figures together and have them
available for the meeting .
H elen Lang - the question isn ' t the formula itself , but the
mathematics and the logic as to how it is applied . This does not
e xist anywhere in writing so people can ' t challenge it when it
can change every year and get applied differently . She thought
that the procedure for putting it into the assessment and making
the values needs to be in writing and available to the people who
have to vote on it .
