Supervisor Austic called the meeting to order at 7: 35 PM to work on the Comprehensive Plan. Tonight's discussion will be to review the final section of the plan titled Water and • Sewer Systems. GOAL after the word utilities - where economic feasible --was added. Objectives 1 and 2 ok Recommended Actions by Objective Objective 1 -- Water A & B ok Sewer A & B ok Objective 2 -- Water A - F ok Sewer A - D ok Discussion took place on adding another objective which would be #3 and addressed sewer in relationship to water and sewer being one objection to go band and hand. Mr. Tyler stated, " For the fundamental relationship between decisions made in this area and how development within the Town will unfold. Where does the Town want to see the start or where do you want to concentrate you efforts? Mr. Austic asked " the main water" ? He feels there are only two choices. " Mr. Tyler stated, " I'm assuming that you feel the Village factor is dead. " Mr. Austic, " as far as massive amounts, yes. Not to say we may not get a little more down at the other end, but as far as going to Jacksonville or somewhere, or unless they change their minds. " David Tyler, " You say, unless they change their minds, the real issue is there is a source of water which comes to this community which if the powers to be, being the Town and the Village if they decide to work together on that." Doug, " I 've been willing and the Board to do that for years." David, " I know, I understand, but I 'm just saying that I think what this document ought to do, if you want the development to occur at the South end of the Town along RI 89 and 96, fine, but if it makes more sense , and I think that's what I've heard come out a lot of things that have gone before this the water and sewer coming out of the Village would make a lot more sense for this plan that sort of orderly growth for the Town, than I think that ought to be stated here and that goal ought to be pursued, politically and what ever other ways is appropriate. My point is, if you just sort of, well wherever the water comes that 's where the development will be. " Doug, " I 'm not saying that, I 'm just saying that's what would happen. " David, " What I 'm saying is that this whole process should look at where should public water and sewer most logically appear. The input that I got recognizing the problems that apparently did with the Village, water • and sewer with the Village has the hub of it so to speak makes more sense with the community in a lot of ways and if that's the case than that ought to be --if that's what people feel that ought to be stated and than that ought to be pursued . " Discussion pursued in regards to water availability from the Village and Ithaca. The general consensus of the Board is that it is covered several other places in the document. Mr. Tyler feels it would not hurt to repeat a little more what you have here because if water and sewer is the issue. His request is " ad -- to focus development of water and sewer infrastructure around and with countenance with the Village and if that does not work and that's if all things were equal and you were not worried about the history about the Village playing ball in the past, than I think that should be stated -- for no other reason the Village can not say later on that the Town really was not serious about it. Mrs. Stover stated again that she feels that it has already been stated. Mrs. Town of Ulysses Second Regular Board Meeting 11-26-96 Duddleston had a problem with stating focus, maybe explore, focus sounds like a one way street. Discussed the adding of Objective #3 -- the following was decided ; Recognize water and sewer as an expansion as a prime catalyst for development. Action : A. When considering expansion, encourage infrastructure development of • water and sewer around and with countenance with the Village of Trumansburg. The Board wants new copies presented to the Master Plan and invite them to attend the next meeting. The Board wants their help to finish this up. A memo will be sent to David and he will make some calls. The members to have this sent to are -- Sue Poelvoorde, Greg Hoffmire, Krys Call , Ruth Kahn, and Joanne Molino. The next meeting will be scheduled for December 17th, 1996 at 7 : 00 pm at the Town Hall. Hearing no further business the meeting was adjourned at 9: 20 PM. Respectfully submitted, Marsha L.
