Mr. Schickel said that originally the entire sixteen ( 16) acres were part of the Planned Development
and reduced in error when a new ordinance and map were adopted.
Joseph Cheng - 326 Gunderman Road - reported that neighbors reported at a previous hearing that
there is continuous hum that resembles a vacuum cleaner that can be heard by the neighbors . He asked
if there could be some sort of a sound barrier placed to reduce the annoyance .
Peg Kennedy from Angelheart Designs said that the noise may come from a compressor or an air-
conditioning unit. She said that she would check into the situation to determine what the sound is and
where it comes from. Steps will be taken to resolve the noise .
Comments from the Board :
Councilperson Steiner said that he believes that a neighbor reported at the Planning Board Public
Hearing that there was noise coming from the facility all night that was very disturbing
Mr. Schickel said that when the Final Site Plans are presented to the Planning Board, they will include
a tree lined buffer. He is not sure what the sound is that Mr. Cheng is referring to, but is sure it will
be looked into .
Supervisor Oltz asked Mr. Schickel if there were plans to obtain a variance for the 13-foot set back
requirement.
Mr. Schickel said that it will be necessary to obtain a variance for the 13-foot set back as it is a
condition for approval of the proposed expansion of the Planned Development Zone .
Councilperson Johnson asked if there has been a permit issued to pave the parking area.
Code Enforcement Officer Susan Beeners reported that some materials for the driveway and parking
area have been delivered. Work on the parking area has ceased until there is approval to expand the
Planned Development Zone and the Planning Board has approved a Final Site Plan. The owners of
Angelheart Designs were not aware that parking areas needed Site Plan Approval. She said that there
are the concerns such as eliminating the noise from the air conditioner or generators, landscaping and
lighting of the parking areas that need to be addressed before there can be Final Site Plan Approval.

PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR:

offs that are not protected with guard rails.

meetings so that questions related to highway policies and concerns can be answered when they arise.

Dennis Mastro, a representative from NYSEG explained the process that they have followed for the
affected residents along the proposed NYSEG pipeline route through the Danby area. He said that
letters were sent out to all landowners by NYSEG along the proposed route requesting permission to
survey and do studies necessary for a proposed pipeline. There was a situation with a particular
landowner in the Danby area where they asked assistance from the New York State Police to gain
entry onto the property. The Public Service Commission Law requires that in order for any project
to be built, extensive studies must be done on the proposed route as part of the filing of the
Environmental Management Construction Plan to the Public Service Commission. There have been •
meetings with individual landowners to get their comments and input as to what they felt on various
alternatives to the proposed route. The intent of NYSEG is to talk to all the landowners along the
proposed routes, as they go through the process.
Walter Sczepanski reported that no prior notification was made to him or to the farm of NYSEG' s
intent to survey on his property. The first knowledge he had that the farm properties were on the
proposed NYSEG pipeline was when he observed the surveyors trespassing in a wheat field. The
surveyors from NYSEG had already surveyed the property without prior notification and had made
no attempt to obtain permission.
Councilperson Johnson responded that what she has heard from residents and landowners was that
they had not received notice that their property was located in the proposed NYSEG pipeline route.
Sgt. Joe Vitale of the New York State Police was asked to attend tonight' s meeting to clarify their
recent involvement in the area related to the entry on a private property to survey. He explained that
they accompanied representatives from NYSEG, at their request, to keep the peace. A Danby
landowner had reported to NYSEG that if they had intent to enter his property that they bring the
police so that there would not be a problem. The N. Y. S . Police cannot enforce eminent domain as
it is against the law. If there are problems in the future, the N. Y. S. Police will make sure that the
landowners have been served with proper notice .
Councilperson Steiner addressed Mr. Mastro and said that the Board has heard from many residents
in the Town of Danby that they have not heard from NYSEG that they plan to come onto their
property. He said he would encourage them to reissue letters (or copies) to landowners perhaps in
person or by registered mail.
West Danby Water District
West Danby Water District Supervisor, Roy Casterline asked the Supervisor Oltz if the UFPO
Application had been submitted for the West Danby Water District. He suggested that it be completed
as soon as possible so that the West Danby Water District can be registered as a member of the UFPO
for the protection of contractors who may want to dig in the area.
Mary Lou Hardesty - 50 South Danby Road - reported that the Danby Pond Clean-up day will be
Saturday, June 15 , 1996 .
Alice Supa - 48 Harrington Road, Johnson City - commented that the NYSEG' s comments were
•
totally inconsistent with a Motion currently filed by NYSEG for Expedited Handling of the Eastern
Line EM&CP for Uncontested Portions of the Eastern Line . The request is to shorten the comment
period from thirty (3) days to twenty (20) days.
Karl Heck - from Tompkins County Planning Department reported that the County should hear the
status of the Town of Danby HUD Grant Application within the next week.
Supervisor Oltz reported that the Town of Danby has received a bill for $3 ,000 and asked Mr. Heck
if it were a County policy to bill municipalities for grant application preparation before notification
that the grant was accepted or rejected. Her understanding is that the charge to the Town of $3 ,000 ^^ � ,�
was included in the grant application. If the grant was awarded the charge n / pfrom the
allocation. She did not realize that the Town would be billed $3 ,000. Gl MC f
Mr. Heck said that if the Town was successful in obtaining the grant that the County would reimburse
566

June 10, 1996
the $3 ,000 out of the grant. The County is charged $6,000 of which the County pays $3 ,000 and the
Town share is $3 ,000. He has a person in his office working on some private foundation projects that
may help defray some of the costs for the Town Hall renovation project. The County has given the
Town several possibilities they may wish to pursue . As that Town Hall project moves forward there
would be a separate contract with the Town. The basic concept is that grants can be obtained for
things like the library or things along that line.
• County Representative Report
County Representative Proto reported on the following :
1 ) Reading Rooms - Caroline and Danby Reading Room representatives and volunteers met
with Janet Steiner from the Public Library regarding their reading centers. Discussions were
related to ideas for ways of advertising the reading rooms and scheduling of hours to help
increase usage to expand service.
2) Solid Waste - Several members of the County met with the Tompkins County Clerk' s
Association to discuss the proposed addition of the Solid Waste Fee to the 1997 Tax Bill .
The bill to allow fees to be placed on tax bills has been approved by the New York State
Senate and Assembly and is awaiting the Governor ' s signature .
3 ) Economic Alliance Committee - a new committee has been developed to discuss what
directions the County should be taking to increase economic development.
4) IDA Committee - H & E Machinery project is on track.
5) Comfort Road Bridge - work should be starting soon and we should be seeing some activity
in the near future .
6) Biggs Building - there is a potential buyer for the Biggs Building.
7) City Improvement District - there are three County properties located within the City
Improvement District and the County must contribute funds in the amount of $4,500 per year.
