Supv Trumbull opened the meeting at 7:00 p.m. and led board members and audience
in the pledge of allegiance.
A public hearing had been scheduled at 7:00 p.m. on the special use application of
Adam Farrell to establish and operate a coffee shop and solar energy sales and service office at
1143 Dryden Road. Applicant was not. present and the hearing was not held. ZO Slater said
Tompkins County Planning had made a couple of recommendations in their review that he did
not believe could be safely instituted at this site.
PUBLIC HEARING ON 2008 BUDGET
The public hearing was opened at 7:07 p.m. Supv Trumbull said the tax levy was up
1.86% over last year. The tax rate is flat at $1.4395 per thousand. The fire tax is flat. The
ambulance tax went down one cent. Total budget appropriations went up $533,000 which is a
7.9% increase, the bulk of which is for a highway salt storage shed.
Cl Sumner said the levy was up almost entirely due to new construction and she
doesn't believe that any properties that did not have renovations were affected.
Cl Christofferson noted that Varna Fire Department had received a large increase. Cl
Sumner said that was to stabilize: their reserve fund. Etna :s increase was for the same reason.
She said even with those large increases, by using some fund balance and reducing the
amount of contingency, they were able to provide those increases without changing the tax
rate.
C1 Stelick said the OSHA reimbursement had been removed as a separate line item in
the budget and combined with the contract amounts. That had been cumbersome for the
bookkeeper to deal with. He added ghat the increase for Varna was for their reserve accounts
far equipment and for future purchases so there would not be any more one -time funding
requests.
Cl Christofferson said that Varna's budget is now bigger than Neptune's budget. Cl
Makar said Neptune gets 50% of their funding from the Village. Cl Christofferson wondered
how the call volume and numbers of members compared between the two departments.
Cl Makar noted that Neptune has been in existence for over 100 years so they have had
a lot of time to save money. Etna is about 30 years old, and Varna is 50 years old. He said if
we don't fund them, then they'll have a year when they need even more help.

TB l 1 -8=07
Cl Sumner said that one good thing that has come out of the proce
%s is that each
department is using similar methods to project their future needs. They have gotten some of
the boards of directors to meet with the emergency services committee and there is an
opportunity for mom joint planning and they all seem to know where each is starting from now.
She added that Etna and Varna. got less than what they asked for.
Cl Christofferson said the fire departments are a big part of the budget and he is trying
to understand the reasoning here. W Hoose said Varna had been cut last year and they are
also covering the EMS calls and fire calls for Etna, and their call volume is actually higher than
Neptune. They, are expanding their number of volunteers. Cl Christofferson said at some point
the 'G'ow'n needs to look at ambulance service over that way_ Cie thinks the real need is in the
ambulance / emergency service calls more Chan expensive fire trucks. When there is a fire,
everybody responds, and he thinks we need more ambulances and the Town needs to look at
those resources. Ffe asked the board to look at that in the future.
upv Trumbull asked if there were comments from public on the budget and there were
none_
CITIZENS PRIVUXGE
Mashelle Jansen, 714 Caswell load, presented a petition signed by residents of
Caswell Road asking for a reduction in the speed limit on that road. She said there are 15
children of various ages that reside on the end of the road and cars travel too rasi' on the road,
sometimes not being able to stop for the stop sign and ending up in the field across Route 3413,
They are also requesting a sign advising drivers that there are children in the area and asking
that the road be patrolled for speeders_ The speed limit is currently 45 mph and people
consistently travel faster than that.
The hoard advised her that the speed limit on the road was reduced not too long ago
from 55 to 45 mph. M Jansen said that the neighborhood feels thall 45 mph is still too fast._ J
Bush said the state actually fro %4Fns on installing the children at play signs because they don't.
want resideni's to get a false sense of security that the sign will make motorists slow dawn.
After further discussion, the board asked M Jansen to contact the herifl and ask for mare
patrols in the area and work with her county legislator because it is a County road.
Cheryl Nelson, 477 Groton Road, asked that the board consider increasing the
upervisor's salary to a full time salary. That was a critical issue in the recent election and if
use are going to level the playing field we need to make the position available to people who are
not rich, retired or in some type of entrepreneurial situation where they can flex their time. We
are discriminating against most of the residents in the commuttity who sire interested in taking
on that job_ While the Republican majority is still in office she would like that considered, and
she understands there is a public process for that approval_
She said there was a lot of discussion during the election about how much time it takes
to do the councilperson's job or the supervisor's job, and it would benefit everyone if there was
some q?pe of time - tracking so in the next election the tune involved could be shown.
C Nelson said she found during campa.ignirig the issue of speed is everywhere_ She said
it had been suggested that the Towns contract with the Sheriff's Department for a specific part
of a new deputy's time to patrol. In this way 1, he Town s could have increased road patrols.
With respect to the lire departments, she said prrhapL5 the town should look at some
combination of paid staff and volunteers_
Nge 2 of 61
Anne Grant, 2'26 Virgil Road, and Joyce Church, 1596 Peruville Ro;W, of ti,e My
Brothers Keeper quilt group, gave a demonstration of the quills they prepare for homeless
people. The quilts are rnade from donations of all kinds of fabrics and blankets donated to the
group and assembled by a group of retired womktn ranging in age from 50 to 90- They meet
one Frid4y a month for sic hours- The finished bags are rolled up with an assortment of
toiletries, socks, etc and prayed over by the group. They are then sent off to 66(i s for
distribution where there is a need- They have also been given through the kitchen cupboards,
churches and to school children. They have been recognized by the '1`ompkans Trw;t Company
and Dryden Grange for their community service.
The group has
donated a
bench and
placed it in front of the new town hail in memory of
members of the group
who have
passed on.
The board thanked them for the work they do and
they
received a round
of applause.

With respect to the 'N01e house, J Bush said he has received a quote for the asbestos
survey_ Without, the asbestos survey, a contractor wi11 not give a quote for the work they rnny
be going to do. The quote for the asbestos survey is $2,582. A contractor would then use the
survey to do an estimate for the actual asbestos removal. He has the names of three
contractors who do this kind of removal,
O Slater said he had an inquiry from someone who was Interested in purchasing the
house and lot and he advised them that wasn't the plan at the present tame, but he could make
a proposal. He has not heard back from them. Another person contacted him today about
taping the house. That person is looking for a lot to place the house on, and won't know for
another month whether he would be able to make it an economic venture. ZO Slater said he
needs to check to see if a person ouirs the house, but not the lot it sits on, whether they can
remove the asbestos on site then move the house. I•Ie will keep the board updated with respect
to that_

A report was received from TG Miller on the results of the traffic study conducted on
Lower Creek Road_ The report was also reviewed by Joe Soloman, property owner at 31 Lower
Creek Road. A Sciarabba reviewed their findings with the board_ The average daily number of
vehicles was 500 -550. About 45% of those were 11ravelling westbound and 55% were
eastbound. The average speed wafs around 30 mph.
TG biller recommends that the road not be made one -way because the traffic flow is
almost even in each direction and would add a minimum of 1.5 extra miles around the block to
every trip when a resident left in One direction and came back_
A speed reduction can be applied for, but TG Miller states the traffic o«unts do not
support the need for reductions in either direction. Only 9% of the traffic exceeded the speed
limit,
TG Miller states visibility is the main problem with the intersection, especially heading
toward the corner from Etna bane, It is difficult to see the signage, comer and Solornon house
on sunny days and at night or during bad weather it is much worse. They renew their
rccommendation for a three -way stop and trimming of the vegetation.

Jae Solomon said his concern is not with the mean numbers, but with the high
numbers. Someone went off the road again last week and almost hit their house. He is asking
the board for some other type of traffic alleviation and still believes that signage is not the
problem. He wants some_ protection.
Cl Christofferson asked whether the Sheriff had been there more, and J Solomon said
rka. He added that it may be a good idea to contract for patrols in certain problem areas in the
To%m M Hattery said he ie in favor of this as a okay of better targeting the Sheriff's patrol
resources as opposed to a blanket increase in patrol„ and there are €ri her poliCIng units to
possibly contract with.
Cl Sumner said i( seems like a two - pronged problem. One problem is that it simply is
not safe to go that fast through the curve, and the second problem is that if you do, you hit his
house. From a highway viewpoint, the Town wants to protect the motorists from hurting
themselves by going too fast there, and also want to protect the house from being hit by a car
again.
J Solomon said when he first carne he asked for a guard rail and moving the driveway
to the other side 0f the house, so there would be no interruption in the guard rail in frortt of the
house. He also suggested large stones instead of the guard rail.
CI Sumner said the Town could not move his driveway, but could place the guard nail
around the curve; if the driveway wasn't there. J Bush said he had offered that.
J Solomon said hu didn't really like the aesthotics of the guard rail. He said a patrol
would curb soma of the speeders, but these accidents occur late at night or at odd hours. He
said he sloes riot believe visibility is a problem at tho curve, Speed is the major problem, even
though those numbers are in the rninority,
M Robertson suggested a dense hedge in front of the house or speed bumps in the area.
J Bush said several residenI's were not in favor of the t3peed bumps because of the noise it
would create_ J Solomon said he is concerned that those not going that fast may lose control
going over a speed bump on the corner. J JBusl•i said. that is also an issue for SDOW plowing.
Cl Christofferson suggested some incremental steps be taker, to try and make some
progress. J Salomon said a three -way stop (because of the location of his driveway) had been
recommended and he is concerned about buses going around the corner_ A Sciarabba said a
combination of the stop signs and a guard rail to protect the house may take care of the
problem. J Solomon said he would like large stonee and J ]Bush said the Town would not do
that. It has to be something recommended by DOT and they would not recommend putting
rocks there. 'inhere was some question about vwhether J Solomon would able to legally back out
his driveway,
CI Christofferson asked whether instilling the guard rail and trimming the bushes
would be acceptable to J Solomon_ He said the rail would still be interrupted by the driveway,
C1 Makar said there may be precedence in placing guard rail in someone's yard_ That it should
perhaps go all the way around the corner,
J Selornon said originally the road went straight across a bridge and this was not a
problem_ C1 Sunuier said there needs to be some rrrorc discussion outside the meeting and
come back to it.

grant for a study by a consultant to look at the existing water and sewer services in the
County. This would also tell uvhere the gaps are and what fixture needs mighi; be- All
municipalities would be able to use the data to plan and coordinate infrastructure. M
Robertson said this is a very important study. The grant would pay up to 90 9lo of the cost of
the survey- The County currently has four bids to do the work ranging from $85,000 to
$140,000. Supv Trumbull said this had been discussed at the Cornell Local Government
Leaders meeting and there didn't seem to be dot of enthusiasm for it M Robertson said if the
towms sent letters of support it %U be a very strong application. The 10% not covered by the
grant funds would be paid by TCAD. Cl Sumner said she felt there was a reasonable amount
of support for il, at the Council of Governments meeting she attended. After further discussion,

RECREATION DEPARTMENT
Melissa Bianconi said that fall sports have wrapped up, with only one banquet left. The
football program raised almost $1100 this year, with a little more to come in through apparel
orders. Cheerleaders raised $650 so far and also have more coming in through apparel orders.
She said this is good because when she began the cheerleaders only had $0.53 in their
account. Lacrosse raised almost $3,000 and have a lot of money in their fundraising budget.
Cl Christofferson said the lacrosse program is pretty self - supporting now, and they wanted to
give the kids a chance to go from sixth grade to someplace else. The school has allowed the
sport, but does not fund it so the program raises money to help the school with the program.
There were 132 participants last year including the youth, jv and varsity. Years ago there was
no lacrosse. M Sianconi said lacrosse has a great core group of volunteers.
Cl Christofferson said they have a committee that consists of about six sets of parents,
and M Bianeoni is invited as well as the athletic director and varsity coach. They meet on a
Oregular basis and it is nice to have people committed and working together.

M Bianconi said the lacrosse Turkey Shoot was on Sunday, running simultaneously
with the cheerleading competition. It worked out really well_ Fight school competed In the
cheerlea.ding competition, with 1.77 participants and about 250 spectators. If it grows much
more they will have to consider a change of venue — possibly TC3. They may also charge a
spectator fee. It has been a free competition where others charge up to $100 or more for
participation. The Dryden Senior team took first place overall, with the Juniors taking 2"d and
Modified taking 31" place_ Public feedback on the event was very good.
M Biancoini said she will be creating a youth cheer league in conjunction with the youth
football league. The football league is a tightly run organization and the cheerleaders are there
for the league's support. She said with a couple of meetings a year the cheer program for every
team that competes in the youth football league can be that much stronger,
M $aanconi has sent out an email regarding some regisi:ration policv f procedure
chwiges she is making. She will not do a direct mail per program because she [foes not feel it
is cost effecilive_ Her email to participants explains the new procedure, where fonns can be
obtained and where they should be delivered. Forms can be obtained online., at the recreation
office, at the schools, and an ad will placed in The Shopper, She will also send a supply to the
community centers.
She is working with the Recreation Partnership on a list serve that is similar to the
Human Services Coalition list serve. This will be an excellent service for participants.
The Recreation Partnership has asked that an alternate be appointed in the event that
Bianconi is unable to attend. Someone from the Recreation Commission will serve in that
capacity. She has asked the Recreation ornmis!�ion to attend the Partnership meetings to
improve DTyderr's participation_
Representatives from the recreation Commission will be meeting with Thorna
Development on Tuesday to begin discussions about the Recreation Master Plan,
i k
Atty Perkins said there have been discussions with TC3 about the fact that one of their
dorms got built slightly outside the boundary of the Cortland load Sewer Distract. The Village
of Dryden is aware of this and is okay with it. TC3 would like addi ti anal parcels included in
the sewer district and the board reviewed a map of those parrtls. After discussion, the board
agreed to accept the parcel near the dormitories, but not the recently acquired parcel north of
the campus property. T3 has agreed to pay for the expanse associated wil'h the process,
The simplest way to extend the boundaries of the sewer district is to pass a resolution
appropriating a sum of money to cause the preparation of a map, plan and report. That
resolution is subj45ct to a permissive referendum. Atty Perkins can have a. resolution ready for
the December meeting. Thirty days after that the money is available for preparation of the
map, plan and report_ A public hearing is their held and the board must make a determination
that it is in the public interest to expand the boundary. No permission of the State Comptroller
is needed because there will be no bands issued, no infrastructure installed, and anything that
happens would be constructed either by T3 or the Foundation. Atty Perkins said this is an
accommodation for the College and I:he Foundation_ The Village i% m agreement_
Atty Perkins said there have been ongoing discussions about a new sewer agreement
with the Village because it is expired, and we are very close to having something to recommend
to the Town_ It involves an agreement where the 'Town will continue to be a customer, not an
owner. The; Town will continue to pay, presumably, rate and a quarter. The 'Town as a district
will contribute to the upgrade of the interceptor sewer that needs to be built to alleviate some
Page 9 of 61
TB 11 -8 -07
flow problems that the Village has. Those problems are caused by the fact that there is all the
development at TC3. The College and the Foundation will pay for the interceptor because they
understand the need for that is caused by their growth.
The original sewer agreement, signed in 1982 and which is expired, allocated to the
Cortland Road Sewer District a minimum of 35,000 gallons per day and a maximum of 50,000
gallons per day. Not to be counted in that number were flows from the high school and from
the college. One of the things learned from the monitoring manholes is that the district didn't
even get up to the minimum of 35,000 gallons per day for the commercial part of the district.
Most of it is coming from the college. Negotiations for the new agreement are moving along and
there is a real sense of cooperation. One of the things Atty Perkins suggested is that we take a
look at some of the assumptions that the Village engineers made when they recommended the
need for the interceptor sewer and the size of the plant. Now that we have accurate data. from
the flow meters and the meter at the plant, indications are that there is probably still capacity
in the plant. The 40 year old plant still needs updating however. It appears that TC3 will be
able to obtain another sewer permit to build another dorm.
Atty Perkins suggested the Town engineers look at the assumptions made by PLS
Engineering when they sized the plant and determined the size of the interceptor. Hunt
Engineers has given the Town a proposal to do that. They believe they will be able to, in about
four weeks, come to some conclusions based on the limited data received to date, about flows,
plant size, the need for the interceptor, and a recommendation as to what percentage the
college should pay of the construction of the interceptor sewer. The cost for this is $5,000.
There is $2,000 that they haven't spent that was allocated to study the data that is received.
For another $3,000 they will provide the report described and help with the negotiations with
the Village. Atty Perkins said those negotiations are now at a critical point and we are close to
having a new sewer agreement. He reviewed Hunt's proposal with the board.

ZONING OFFICER
ZO Slater provided the board with information regarding three change orders for the
Town Hall. Two of them have been previously discussed and agreed on and the paperwork has
just now been received. One was for the woodwork in the courtroom and the entry foyer and

"M 11-8 -07
Othe other
was to overcome the mistake
in
locking the outside doors at the main entrance rather
than the
inside doors to provide access
to
the drop box.
The third change order is because there is no hot water in the bathrooms. The
proposed change order provides for removal of the in -line check screen to permit circulation
within the unit. They have told ZO Slater that it is reasonable to assume that this corrective
measure will be successful.
RESOLUTION #180 - APPROVE CHANGE ORDERS FOR TOWN HALL
Cl Stelick offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption:

QZO Slater reported that the bio- retention filter for the pond doesn't work. It is unclear
whether it is a design error or a malfunction. A Sciarabba said the lower filter is the same
material as the upper filter and is working fine. The upper filter has been ponding and not
percolating as quickly as they would like to see it. There is also a reddish slime coming from
the pipe which they think is an iron bacteria. They need to figure out what is really causing it
not to perc. Traditionally when they don't perc it means the soil has been compacted too
tightly during construction. There may be silt in the filter. In such a wet condition they
cannot determine what exactly the cause is, so they are proposing to bypass the filter so the
water will go into the retention pond portion so they can dry out the filter and figure out what
is causing the problem. If it is determined the problem was not caused by something the
contractor did in the field, there will be a change order. There is a couple of days of machine
time involved and A Sciarabba estimates the cost to be around $4,000.
The board instructed ZO Slater to review the change orders to date and prepare a report
indicating which changes were the result of design error, and the associated costs. Atty
Perkins will work with him on that.
ZO Slater said that he would like to contact all the people/ companies that have done
sign business in the Town over the last several years and invite them to submit a design for the
new building. The board agreed this was a good idea.
ZO Slater said the fire alarm system in the building needs a dedicated phone line for
911 hookup to function properly. The board asked him to take the necessary steps to
accomplish this and understands there will be an additional charge for this dedicated line.
ZO Slater reported that Cornell Laundry is now under contract for carpets at the
entryways. Those are replaced every two weeks.

Town of Dryden Stormwater Management,
I?rosion and Sediment Control Law
Proposed Local Law Number of the Year 2007.
Be it enacted by the 'Town Board of the Towwn of Dryden as follows:
Article I. General Provisions
Page 36 of 61
TB 11 -8 -07
T B 11 -8 -07
Section 1. Title
This local law may be cited as the Town of Dryden "Stormwater Management, Erosion and Sediment Control Law."
Section 2. Findings of Fact
The Town of Dryden finds that uncontrolled stormwater runoff associated with land development has a significant
impact upon the health, safety and welfare of the community, and quality of the environment. Specifically:
1. Land development activities, increases in impervious cover, and improper design and construction of
drainage facilities often alter the hydrologic response of local watersheds and increase Stormwater runoff
rates and volumes, sediment transport, and stream channel erosion.
2. Improperly managed stormwater runoff can increase the incidence of flooding and the level of floods that
occur, endangering property and human life.
3. Construction involving land clearing and the alteration of natural topography, particularly near a
watercourse, wetland, or on steep slopes, increases erosion and leads to siltation of water bodies, decreasing
their capacity, to hold and transport water, damaging public and private property, and harming flora and
fauna.
4. Sediment from soil erosion can spill onto roads, making them less safe, and can clog catch basins, storm
Section 3. Purpose
Page 37 of 61
sewers, and ditches, resulting in increased maintenance expense for the Town of Dryden and other public
and private entities.
5.
Clearing and grading during construction can result in loss of valuable topsoil and loss of native and other
vegetation necessary for terrestrial and aquatic habitat.
6.
Loss of wetlands from land development leads to the significant loss of water quality and quantity control
functions. Any decrease in wetlands reduces hydrologic absorption, storage capacity, biological and
chemical oxidation sites, sedimentation and filtering functions of wetland areas.
7.
Stormwater runoff from developed areas can carry significant quantities of water -borne pollutants into
surface waters and groundwater, degrading water bodies, affecting public and private water supplies and
recreational uses, and degrading terrestrial and aquatic habitats. Nutrients in runoff, such as phosphorous
and nitrogen, accelerate cutrophication of receiving waters.
f!.
The southern end of Cayuga Lake, which ultimately receives drainage from much of the land area in
Dryden, has been placed on the New York State 303(d) List of impaired Waters which identifies
sediment/silt and phosphorus as the major pollutants contributing to this impairment.
9.
Increasing impervious surfaces increases the volume and rate of stormwater runoff and allows less water to
percolate into the soil, thereby decreasing groundwater recharge and stream base flow. Stormwater
management practices that improve infiltration are desirable to mitigate this effect.
10.
Substantial economic losses can result from these adverse impacts on community waters.
I.
Stormwater runoff, soil erosion, and non -point source pollution can be controlled and minimized through
the regulation of stormwater runoff quantity and quality from new land development and redevelopment
activities, through the use of both structural and nonstructural practices.
12.
Non - structural or better site design practices can help to control stormwater nmoff by protecting or
mimicking natural hydrologic functions of a site, and often are less expensive and may require less
maintenance than structural practices.
13.
Regulation of land development activities by means of performance standards governing stormwater
management and site design will produce development compatible with the natural functions of a particular
site or an entire watershed and thereby mitigate the adverse effects of erosion, sedimentation, and runoff
from development. Such regulation is in the public interest and will minimize threats to public health and
safety.
Section 3. Purpose
Page 37 of 61
TB 11 -8 -07
The purpose of this local law is to establish minimum stormwater management requirements and controls to protect
and safeguard the general health, safety, and welfare of the public residing within the Town and to address the
findings of fact in Section 2 hereof. This local law seeks to meet those purposes by achieving the following
objectives:
1. Meet the requirements of minimum measures 4 and 5 of the SPDES General Permit for Stormwater
Discharges from Municipal Separate Stormwater Sewer Systems (MS4s), Permit no. GP -02 -02.
2. Require land development activities to conform to the substantive requirements of the NYS Department of
Environmental Conservation State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) General Permit for
Construction Activities GP -02 -01.
3. Minimize increases in the magnitude, rate, and frequency of stormwater runoff between pre- development
and post - development conditions so as to prevent an increase in flood flows and in the hazards and costs
associated with flooding.
4. Where increases occur, restrict stormwater runoff entering and leaving development sites to non - erosive
velocities.
5. Minirnirx the accumulation, and facilitate the removal of pollutants in stormwater runoff so as to perpetuate
the natural biological and recreational functions of streams, water bodies, and wetlands.
6. Reduce the need for costly maintenance and repairs to roads, embankments, ditches, streams, lakes, ponds,
wetlands, and stormwater control facilities resulting from inadequate control of soil erosion and stormwater
runoff.
7.
Reduce the detrimental impacts of stormwater flows on adjacent properties and downstream communities.
H.
Prevent accelerated soil erosion and sedimentation so as to avoid its deposit in streams and other receiving
water bodies.
O9.
Assure soil erosion control and stormwater runoff control systems are incorporated into site planning at an
early stage.
10.
Maintain the integrity of local drainage systems, particularly natural systems, so as to sustain their
hydrologic functions.
11.
Encourage groundwater recharge so as to maintain stream base flows, aquatic life, and adequate water
supplies.
12.
Enhance, to the extent possible, secondary community benefits (such as open space protection and
increased recreational opportunity) derived from stormwater management planning and facilities.
13.
Maintain the integrity of stream flow in such a way as to perpetuate natural communities, food chains and
recreational opportunities.
14.
Establish provisions for the long -term responsibility for and maintenance of structural stormwater control
facilities and nonstructural stormwater management practices to ensure that they continue to function as
designed, are maintained, and pose no threat to public safety.
15.
Establish provisions to ensure there is an adequate ftmding mechanism, including financial surety, for the
proper review, inspection and long -term maintenance of stormwater facilities implemented as part of this
local law.
16.
Establish administrative procedures for the submission, review, approval or disapproval of stormwater
management plans, and for the inspection of approved active development projects, and lung -term follow
up on post- construction stormwater management practices.
Section 4. Statutory Authority
IF in accordance with Article 10 of the Municipal Home Rule Law of the State of New York, the Town Board of the
Town of Dryden has the authority to enact local laws and amend local laws for the purpose of promoting the health,
safety or general welfare of the Town of Dryden and for the protection and enhancement of its physical

H.5 of the New York State Stormwater Management Design Manual for a list of plants native to New York
State which are recommended for stormwater ponds, wetlands, bioretention, and other vegetated treatment
areas.
4. The Town experiences cold winters and significant snowfall. Stormwater facility design and sizing strategies
appropriate for winter conditions and spring snowmelt are recommended. Those projects with stormwater
practices receiving drainage from twenty (20) acres or more must use the water quality sizing guidelines for
cold climates found in the New York State Stormwater Management Design Manual. Additional design
guidance that may increase the longevity and winter -time effectiveness of stormwater management practices
O may be found in the document " Stormwater Practices for Cold Climates ", published by the Center for
Watershed Protection.
5. Redevelopment projects and high density projects (in areas zoned for high density) often make more efficient
use of the land, and may reduce overall impacts to natural areas. This law is not intended to create a
disincentive for such projects. The Stormwater Management Officer may allow some degree of flexibility for
such projects, so long as the minimum New York State standards are met. Redevelopment projects should
follow the guidelines found in the Stormwater Design Manual.
6. The Town notes that the Stormwater Design Manual provides helpful charts and criteria to guide selection of
site - appropriate stormwater management practices. Applicants shall consider these criteria when selecting
practices.
7. If a project is composed of separate mid distinct phases, the stormwater management practices may also be
installed in phases, but the standards of this law must be met during all phases.
8. Off site stormwater control areas may be shared between two or more property owners or developments,
provided that the SMO has approved the design and the required maintenance agreements, and the required
casements have been obtained and recorded.
9. Applicants must avoid and minimize disturbance of wetlands, stream corridors, and surface waters to the
maximum extent practicable at the project site, and the relevant state or federal permits must be obtained if
disturbance will take place. Land development activities shall not discharge untreated stormwater directly into
a natural wetland or water body without adequate treatment, nor modify natural wetlands for stormwater
impoundment. To the extent possible, a buffer must be maintained between land development activities
(including the placement of silt fencing) and wetland boundaries, stream banks, or lake or pond shorelines.
10. Wetland Presence and Boundaries. When relevant in the context of this law, or in accordance with Federal or
New York State regulations, it may be necessary for the applicant to determine the presence and boundaries of
wetland(s) on a project site. The Town of Dryden Stonnwater Management Officer may request the applicant
to obtain a wetland delineation, either by a qualified Town staff member, by a United States Army Corps of
Eneineers wetlands officer, by the DEC, or a wetlands consultant. The following criteria shall be used to
Page 55 of 61
'I'B 11 -8 -07
Oindicate the potential presence and location of a wet fand, and the SMO shall exercise best judgment on when a
delineation is needed:
a) Map Indicators
i. The boundaries indicated by the New York State Freshwater Wetlands Map, produced by the NYS
Department of Environmental Conservation, as amended and updated. According to Section 24-
0301, Environmental Conservation Law, these boundaries are "approximate', but as "accurate as
practicable' A landowner or "viother person or persons or an olTicial body whose interests are
shown to be affected" may send a written request to the Commissioner of die Department for a
more precise delineation.
ii. The National Wetlands Inventory Maps, produced by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, 1979, or
as amended or updated. Note that the metadata for these maps states: "Due to the scale, the
primary intended use is for regional and watershed data display and analysis, rather than specific
project data analysis."
iii. The Tompkins County Soil Survey, 1965, or as updated, and the Tompkins County Hydric Soils
List, which together identify the approximate location of hydric soils, which are indicative of the
presence of wetlands.
iv. The absence of a mapped wetland indicator does not rule out the potential presence of a wetland if
field indicators are present, On the other hand, in the absence of any field indicators, a mapped
indicator may be inaccurate.
b) Field Indicators
i. The presence of wetland vegetation, according to the "National List of Vascular Plant Species that
Occur in Wetlands" USFWS, 1988 or as updated or amended. Note that the New York State
Wetland Definition, ECL 24- 0107.1 provides a helpful list of wetland plants commonly
encountered in various wetland types across New York State;
ii. Indicators of occasional inundation or saturation, such as presence or signs of shallow standing
water, a high water table, or frequent flooding.
O iii, Field indicators of hydric soil conditions.
iv. Proximity in location and elevation to areas of confirmed wetland or floodplain.
II. Nonstructural Stormwater Management Practices. 'I'o the maximum extent practicable, stormwater
management objectives must be met by incorporating nonstructural stormwater management strategies into the
project design. Non - structural practices reduce the need for expensive and high maintenance stormwater
management facilities, and thereby are a benefit to the applicant and to the Town. The following non - structural
strategies shall be applied wherever possible:
a) Protect areas that provide water quality benefits or areas particularly susceptible to erosion and
sediment loss.
b) Maximize the protection of natural drainage features and vegetation.
c) Minimize land disturbance including clearing and grading.
d) Minimize impervious surfaces and break up or disconnect the flow of runoff over impervious surfaces.
e) Maximize the time of concentration from pre - constriction to post construction. "Time of
concentration" is defined as the time required for water to flow from the, most remote point of the site
area (in time of flow) to the outlet.
J) Favor movement of water through the site as sheet flow through vegetated areas, rather than
concentrated flows.
g) Provide vegetated open - channel conveyance systems discharging into and through stable vegetated
areas.
h) Provide low- maintenance landscaping that encourages retention and planting of native vegetation and
minimizes the use of fertilizers and pesticides.
i) Provide other source controls to prevent or minimize the use or exposure of pollutants at the site, in
order to prevent or minimize the release of those pollutants into stormwater runoff.

TB 11 -M7
12. Better Site Design: DEC has identified a set of 18 `Better Site Design Practices" which can reduce the impacts
of a project, and also often reduce costs. Many of these practices will result in smaller required stormwater
treatment and storage volumes. These are generally non - structural or smaller scale practices than those
described in the Stormwater Design Manual. Recommended Better Site Design practices are described in the
DEC document called Better Site Design.
a) The Town requires that projects disturbing one (l) acre or more must apply at least two (2) of these
practices.
b) If the applicant contends that the minimum number of practices cannot be incorporated into project
design due to site limitations, the applicant must explain such limitations.
13. Stormwater Credits: The DEC has also identified a set of 6 practices, (several of which overlap with the
"Better Site Design Practices" above), which qualify for Stormwater Credits. If these practices are
implemented as described in the document called "The Use and implementation of Stonmwater Credits ", they
can result in a calculated reduction in the water quality treatment volume, and occasionally in the water quantity
storage volumes, required for projects subject to a Full SWPPP.
a) The six credits are as follows:
i. Natural Area Conservation
ii. Stream and Wetland Buffers
iii. Vegetated Open Channels
I
v, Overland Flow Filtration to Groundwater Recharge Zones
v. Environmentally Sensitive Rural Development
vi. Riparian Reforestation
b) if used as credits, these practices must be implemented as described in "The Use and Implementation
of Stormwater Credits ".
c) These practices must be reviewed and approved by the Town before the credit can be taken.
d) DEC's procedure for application of these credits is currently evolving. Projects making use of credits
may require a 60 day review by DEC and I or a letter from the Towmi certifying that the credit has been
applied correctly.
e) The Town encourages applicants to make use of site appropriate credit(s).
14. Any non - structural strategy applied that requires continued protection or maintenance in order to function over
the long term must include an appropriate written agreement to ensure such protection or maintenance — either
by means of an easement, maintenance agreement, deed restriction, or dedication to an appropriate government
agency or land trust, as approved by the reviewing board.
15. Infiltration Requirement (applicable to projects requiring; a Full SWPPP). In order to maximize
groundwater recharge and reduce runoff, the Town has an Infiltration Volume requirement that is determined
based on the drainage properties of the soils on site. The Infiltration Volume is calculated by multiplying the
Water (duality Volume for the project (prior to the application of any Stormwater Credits) by a factor according
to the Hydrologic Soil Groups (HSG) at the project site. The project site includes the expected areas of
disturbance surrounded by a 100 foot buffer (or to the edge of the parcel - whichever is less). The
multiplication factors are shown below, and an area weighted average should be used if more than one HSG is
present.

Page 57 of 61
TB 11 -8 -U7
OThe infiltration volume can either be treated by using an infiltration practice as described in the Stormwater
Design Manual (required site criteria must be met), or by applying one or more site - appropriate Stormwater
Credits such that the calculated reduction in the Water Quality Volume is greater than or equal to the
required Infiltration Volume. If neither approach is feasible due to site limitations, the applicant must
explain the limitations in writing, and the SMO may reduce or waive the infiltration requirement.
However, the following types of stormwater shall not be infiltrated:
I . Stormwater from high pollutant loading areas, or stormwater hotspots.
2. Industrial stormwater exposed to source material.
