Meeting adjourned at 10:45 PM Attachment Anne Krohto Clerk 13® Questions, Concerns, Issues raised at 19 April Village Board Meeting 1. oils Need to acknowledge the importance of organisms such as earthworms, anthropods and microbes in the site's ecology. These components of the biota will be adversely affected by the development. 2. Real Estate Need to completely understand the project's potential ripple effects on the real estate market and property assessments. How will the Village react if serious devaluation occurs? What will the impacts be on other property owners? 3. Taxes Need to emphasize that the Minimum Yield analysis on p. 81 is a bare bones minimum that includes only taxes from the residential components of the project. Some portion of the other components such as the Community Center are expected to be taxable. Deter- mination to be made by County Assessment Office. 4. Municipal Costs Need to rework the Functional Unit exclusion analysis to include some portion of the excluded municipal costs. Consider eliminating this section entirely. 5. Erosion Expand description of erosion control measures; cross - reference this section to the PUD Application document description of erosion control. r 6. Traffic Evaluate difficulty of left turn out of Kendal drive onto North Triphammer Road. Investigate potential mitigat- ing measures. 7. Stormwater Runoff Provide additional assurances vis a vis stormwater runoff calculations /methodology, Consider how potential culvert blockages could be handled and where drainage swale overflow would be directed. a. Emergency Calls Indicate how fire calls will be handled; first alert at Kendal or into Fire Station. 9. Employment Clarify that most job opportunities will benefit Tomp- kins County residents outside Cayuga Heights. 10. Utilities Consult with Village Supt. of Public Works on location on manholes on south side of property. 11. Pedestrian Traffic Address issues related to pedestrian movement from site to other destinations in the Village; particular reference to potential connections with other pedestri- an systems /greenways and bicycle travel paths.
