RESOLUTION # 191 - RESOLUTION APPROPRIATING FUNDS FOR
PREPARATION OF GENERAL MAP, PLAN AND REPORT FOR AN EXTENSION
TO THE CORTLAND ROAD SEWER DISTRICT IN THE TOWN OF DRYDEN.
Cl Sumner offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption:
WHEREAS, the Town Board of the Town of Dryden (the "Town") has received a request
from TC3 Foundation, Inc., the owner of tax parcel 37. -1. -10.12 which is partially within the
existing Cortland Road Sewer District, to extend the sewer district to include all land owned by
the TC3 Foundation, Inc. included in said tax parcel, and
WHEREAS, some of the improvements situate on said tax parcel are within the
boundaries of the Cortland Road Sewer District and some are outside said district, but are
nevertheless served by facilities of the Cortland Road Sewer District, and
WHEREAS, it is in the public interest to include all properties served by the facilities of
the Cortland Road Sewer District within the boundaries of a sewer district, and
WHEREAS, the Town Board has received a proposal from T. G. Miller, P. C. Engineers
and Surveyors to prepare a general map, plan and report for providing water system facilities,
improvements and services in the above described portion of the Town,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that subject to a permissive referendum on the
adoption of this resolution and appropriation, the sum of Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000.00) is
hereby appropriated to pay the cost of preparing a general map, plan and report for providing
sewer system facilities, improvements and services in the above described portion of the Town,
and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, that T. G. Miller, P. C. Engineers and Surveyors are hereby
authorized and directed to prepare such map, plan and report within the limits of the amount
appropriated therefor, and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Town Law and
upon completion thereof to file the same in the office of the Town Clerk.
This resolution is subject to permissive referendum as provided by Town Law Section

At.ty Perkins explained this would add property to the district near the TC3 dorms, but
not the property they recently acquired on Route 13.
This procedure is an Article 12 -A procedure, where the Town takes the initiative rather
than a developer. All the costs are charged back to the parcel that is benefitted. The costs are
added to the next tax bill.
A notice of adoption of this resolution will be published in The Ithaca Journal. The 30-
day period for the permissive referendum starts tomorrow. The resolution is not effective until
30 days have elapsed. TG Miller will go ahead during that period with the map, plan and
report given the exigency of the circumstances and we don't expect anyone will file a petition
for .a referendum. As soon as the map, plan and report is filed the Town Board can meet, and if
they deem the report is adequate, an Order is adopted calling a public hearing on the map,
plan and report. That notice requires at least ten but not more than 20 days notice prior to the
public hearing. At the public hearing an environmental review is conducted and then the
board is free to act on the actual application to form the district.
Cl Sumner said that apparently ZO Slater has scheduled a special permit hearing for
TC3 for December 21. The board discussed various meeting dales and whether some meeting
purposes could be combined. Cl Sumner %will e-mail board members with suggestions for dates
and times.
There being no further business, on motion made, seconded and unanimously carried,
the meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
