Home My WebLink About1996-09-0319q TOWN BOARD MEETING • SEPTEMBER 3, 1996 PUBLIC HEARING - Varna Fire Station Supv Schug called the meeting to order at 7:30PM Supv Schug - the town was asked to hold the public hearing so everyone would have a chance to have some input to mitigate any problems that might be forth coming regarding the new fire house. Alan Berger - Chief of the Varna Fire Co. - would like the town board to pass a resolution if they deem it appropriate authorizing the supervisor to write a letter stating a public meeting was held to talk about the neighbor concerns. The purpose of th1S meeting and letter is to satisfy some financing concerns. The banks want us to have a public meeting to give us a better rate for the loan. Alan Berger - went over the plans with board members and guests. They designed the entrances to the building so they don't impact the people across the street. They are trying to leave some trees to block visibility from the road and deaden the noise. They have been planning this move for 10 years. Our existing fire station has gotten too small and they need to expand for additional facilities that are needed. Alan Berger - they had considered a satellite station 4 or 5 years ago at that point it time they thought that would solve their problems. Our district extends from Route 13 to Snyder Hill. They looked for property for the satellite station and had a difficult time to find reasonably priced property. The other concerns were that their existing station really needed some upgrading. The ability for them to locate at one location will help them since they won't have to worry about coordinating their response from 2 locations and worry about membership problems in terms of associating with one station more than another. The station on Turkey Hill puts them up the hill so it will improve their response time to the Ellis Hollow area. Rupert Hall, 11 Turkey Hill Rd. - wanted to know the procedure they followed of purchasing the land and then having the hearing. Why didn't you have the meeting first. I thought that was supposed to be residential land. Alan Berger - when we purchased the land we were told it was zoned commercial. I was told that the zoning does not affect our uses. As far as the procedure, we felt a little bit of time pressure to do it this way. When we purchased the property it wasn't listed in the multiple listing. We were told by the people who showed us the land that the timely manner in which we were able to address that and keep the price down. This meeting is also an after thought to have it with this type of notice. It is required by the IRS in order for the mortgage agency to give us the rate we are getting. • That is part of the procedure, but this meeting really isn't required. Consequently, we didn't give it as much thought as we should have in terms of how to best pull together. i i • • Al NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING PLEASE TARE NOTICE, that a public hearing will be conducted by the Town Supervisor for the Town of Dryden, at the Dryden Town Hall, 65 East Main Street, Dryden, New York, on September 3, 1996 at 7 : 30 . p.. m. in relation to the proposed borrowing by the Varna Volunteer Fire Company, Inc. (the "Volunteer Fire Company") OP to finance the construction by the Volunteer Fire Company of a new fire station at or near 10 Turkey Hill Road, Town of Dryden, New York, and.the proposed issuance by the Volunteer Fire Company of an obligation to a local lending institution. The obligation is in the maximum principal amount of $300,000.00. The fire station is to be used by the Volunteer Fire Company for the provision of fire protection service to the Town of Dryden fire protection district pursuant to a contract between the Town of Dryden and said Volunteer Fire Company executed on December 7, 1995. The public hearing and the subsequent approval by the Supervisor of the Town of Dryden of.the borrowing and issuance of the obligation are prerequisites to exemption from income taxation of the interest payable .under the terms of such obligation, pursuant to Section 103 and related sections of, and'regulations under, the Internal Revenue Code.

Dated: August 22, 3.996 TB9 -3 -96 Page 2 • Clint Cotterill - this is an RB Zone and the allowed uses are educational buildings, churches, community buildings and other semipublic structures, which the fire department would be an allowed use. Supv Schug - I have talked with the fire company for quite some time over the last 8 or 9 years and talked about a satellite station. The fire department went out and bought the property and I told them they had better get out and talk to the neighbors so they know what you are doing and how you are doing it so you will have some input. That is important no matter what you are doing with all of the neighbors so they understand what is happening and how it might impact them. Rupert Hall - it isn't the fact they are building the fire house there, it is the fact they are building the fire house without telling anyone what they are going to do. We are taxpayers and we would like to know what is going on in our neighborhood. It seems like procedures should be followed so the neighbors know what is going on. I have no problem with them building the fire house, it is just the way it has been approached. Erica Evans - I agree with Rupert Hall wholeheartedly that the whole approach was inexcusable, which doesn't mean we don't . appreciate the fire department. Before you do anything else and change it into a community center or something else I hope you will consult the neighbors. We request any changes from the fire department per say be discussed with all of the neighbors before it is done. Rupert Hall - if you are going to build a fire house or something like that there is no requirement. Atty Perkins - the town does not actually have anything to do with the fire district other than we have a contract with them. It is an allowed use in that area so we don't have any control over it. We don't have any control over their fund raising, where they have their building. They are a private entity. They are not any part of the town so we don't have any jurisdiction over their internal affairs or decision making. This is true with all of the fire companies in the town because the town only contracts with them to provide fire protection. Dawn Potter - was concerned about the intersection of Route 366 and Turkey Hill Road. I think that is dangerous and wonder if there will be a stop sign or a stop light. Alan Berger - there already is a stop sign on Turkey Hill Road. There are no plans for a stop sign or stop light on Route 366 at this point. Turkey Hill Road is a county road and Route 366 is a • state road. We will probably ask for signs to be installed on the road similar to the ones we already have. We are also considering flashing caution lights on Dryden Road that would only trigger when we received an alarm. ME 0 • TB9 -3 -96 Page 3 Alan Berger - before we purchased the property the safety of that intersection was discussed. We want to try and get some kind of a safety device down the hill warning motorist there is a fire station ahead. I took some measurements and there doesn't seem to be much difference in visibility in the present location than there is at the proposed location. That isn't to say it is adequate. Rupert Hall - also agreed it was a dangerous intersection. Marge Pough - suggested a blinker red light down the hill and when there is a fire call it is activated. Bob & Eva Ames - were concerned about the intersection since there is a dip in the road and hope this will be looked at very carefully. Supv Schug - hoped that if they were going on to the road they would have their fire police there until such time something was installed. Howard Evans - there is a problem there in the winter time because ice forms at that intersection. If something is going to be done there the State should be told ahead of time. The mouth of that road should be widened and fix the drainage problem so that ice does not form. Right now the snow plow has loosened the grill on the drain. Alan Berger - we will be looking at those issues closely and will take everything into consideration. Erica Evans - wanted to know how this was going to be financed. Alan Berger - they have a fair amount of savings which they have accumulated through planning for this. They have postponed several capitol improvements for the existing station so this has been set aside in their savings. This is how we purchased the land. On the order of 30/40 percent of the building will come out of savings. The remainder of the building will be financed through a local lending agency. We contract with the town for fire protection and in our budget we anticipate to meet the monthly mortgage payments from that contract. Our expenses will be going down due to a variety of reasons. We are replacing some of our fire equipment and we have saved to replace this about 10 years ago. In order to save the money to replace a truck in 10 years we have had to save more money in 10 years than if we could amortize that savings in 25 years which is the life of a fire truck. As soon as we replace those pieces of equipment we will be able to save less for that truck and put the difference toward the mortgage payment. I don't anticipate requesting a higher amount from the town for the contract. Erica Evans - was wondering if you are going to have large fund raisers at the new fire station. I 0 • TB9 -3 -96 Page 4 Duane Testut - they budgeted the entire station from their yearly allocation. They plan on doing a mailing and asking the residents for money, but do not plan on any chicken barbecues or any type of sales. Jeff Potter - wanted to know what the use of the existing fire station was going to be. Alan Berger - they do not have any firm plans. We have been approached about renting or purchasing. The fire company is not going to do anything until they have contacted the association. A lot depends on what the Varna Community Association plans are. Duane Testut - we have tried to keep the association updated on all of the fire companies activities. We plan on looking into the best disposition of our building either renting or selling. The ultimate decision will probably rest on what the Varna Association has planned. They do not plan on doing anything that would not be compatible with the association. TOWN BOARD MEETING SEPTEMBER 3, 1996 Supv Schug called the meeting to order at 8:20PM Members and guests participated in a moment of silent meditation followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. Roll call was by Town Clerk Lloyd: Present: Supv Schug, Clp Grantham, Clp T. Hatfield, Clp C. Hatfield, Clp Roberts, Atty Perkins and Z.O.

He foot pine trees to do the job and have a jd =O'5 TB9 -3 -96 Page 5 • Gus - when we first applied for the permit it was just for storage. Our business has grown and we need more space for our equipment. Went over plan with board members. There will be a space for offices and would like to make it look very professional. Right now we are still putting in the sewer line. We are not sure what is going to happen with the water, whether it will be a well or public water. Ralph Varn - would like the town board to consider a resolution releasing the $13,110.00 for sewer improvements which I have completed. The map has been delivered to Z.O. Slater which shows the improvements revised 9 -2 -96. Supv Schug - wanted to know if Dave Putnam had adequate time to review the revised plans. Dave Putnam - yes I did. Supv Schug - wanted to know if Hwy Supt Gilbert had time to check the road and make sure everything was all right as far as the sewer goes. Hwy Supt Gilbert - fine, it still has to be stone and oiled. Atty Perkins - we have money set aside for that. • Dave Putnam - Larry Fabroni still has to give certification of construction to the health department. The water mains are not down yet, so it is the horse before the cart. John Anderson is still lacking the engineers certification of the construction of the work for the 6 or 7 houses that were added to the water district. Supv Schug - wanted to know if Ralph had sent the town a copy of the agreement with the Town of Ithaca. It would be nice to have to make sure everything is all right. Ralph Varn - thought there was some documentation and would make sure the board received it. Supv Schug - saw no problem with releasing the money as long as all of the outstanding bills have been paid to the town. RESOLUTION #188 RELEASE MONEY TO RALPH VARN Clp T. Hatfield offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption: RESOLVED, that this Town Board authorize the release of money to Ralph Varn in the amount of $13,110.00 with the understanding that it will be released on the condition that all outstanding • obligations of the developer to the town be paid. 2nd Clp C.

He did promise me he would have them done this week. I will call again tomorrow to make sure. Supv Schug - if Dave approves the drawings then he can contact Don so he can make the arrangements to have the work done since we have the money. COUNCILMAN PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR Supv Schug - appointed Clp C. Hatfield and Clp Grantham to audit the town books from January to June of 1996. ATTORNEY Atty Perkins - Cortland Paving - ( Ottenshot) - I have discussed this with Dave Putnam and it seems he is filling the area so therefore he does not need a permit. Dave pointed out even though he is filling the area he could remove the material since he is not leveling the last several truck loads and there is some material at the back of the lot. I would like to keep pursuing Mr. Ottenshot even though he may set up his defense. We can pursue him on the fact if he is not going to be operating a material storage yard there, then he would have no objection to be enjoined from doing that. Board members felt this matter should be pursued against Mr. Ottenshot. Atty Perkins - RMS Gravel - I have been working with Dave Putnam on that and we have the specifications. I have a draft that will be sent to the board for their review and comments and then to Mr. Reeves. Atty Perkins - Westcott - received a call from Mr. Wescotts attorney and I told him the boards requirements for the dedication of the road. They were going to be working on getting the required information to us and as of yet I have not received anything. • Supv Schug - SJS agreement revision - board members have copies to review.

Compare the December- 1995 photo to the August 1996 photos and you'll see a tremendous further decay between December and August.

The Community Arts Partnership is very interested in this project and has suggested I seek funding through their Decentralization grants which requires a non - profit agency or municipality as a sponsor. I would like to ask the Town of Dryden to consider sponsoring my grant application to the Community Arts Partnership. This means I would need someone's signature on the grant application (probably Jim Shug) which will be submitted to the Community Arts Partnership for an October 2nd deadline. There is no cost to the Town: these grants don't have a cost - sharing or matching funds component. Should the project get funded, the check would be sent to the Town. So, in essence, this is a no -risk venture for the Town. This is a project I have been thinking about for a couple of years. As you may know, I • was the director of the "intergenerational" chorus that performed for the opening ceremony of the Bicentennial celebration. That was a trett,erdously successful experience and it became clear to me that Dryden would support a community chorus. We met for six rehearsals; had forty singers participate; and actually scheduled an additional concert outside of the opening ceremonies because the group was so proud of what they had accomplished in such a short time. In my proposal I would ask for funds to pay the director, to pay the accompanist, to pay any room charge /rental, and a very small amount for publicity of our concerts. I will try to borrow or rent music from the Community School of Music and Art or the Ithaca Community Chorus. I intend to run two 8 -week sessions: one next spring, and the other in the summer. Both sessions will culminate in a performance with the summer session performance geared around the Bicentennial Closing Ceremony. I will ask that the participants pay a $10 fee for each session. I think a participants fee is important for a couple of reasons. First, it would cover the rental of music (a cost not allowed in a CAP grant); and also, I think if people have to pay for something, they feel more committed to the project and take it, and themselves, more seriously. I think I will be asking for about $1400 or $1500 from CAP. Thank you for your consideration of this request. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have questions or require additional information (phone: 844 - 4475), I would present this proposal in pfrson but your Board nteetin.n cont?icts ti::th tt,C "ill; 6, oiFr��:;!!e Pn�r� rf Trustee's meeting; of which 1 8111 It member.
