PUBLIC HEARING NO. 1 LOCAL LAW #1 OF 2017 ADDING CHAPTER 75 TO THE TOWN OF CORTLANDVILLE CODE REGULATING THE LOCATION OF GAS STATIONS WITHIN THE TOWN A Public Hearing was held by the Town Board of the Town of Cortlandville at the Raymond G. Thorpe Municipal Building, 3577 Terrace Road, Cortland, New York, concerning Local Law #1 of 2017 — adding Chapter 75 to the Town of Cortlandville Code regulating the location of Gas Stations within the Town. Members present: Supervisor, Richard C. Tupper Councilman, Theodore V. Testa Councilman, John C. Proud Councilman, Gregory K. Leach Councilman, Walter J. Kasperek Town Clerk, Karen Q. Snyder, RMC Others present were: Town Attorney, John ljolmer; Highway Sup't. Carl Bush; News Reporters: Todd McAdam from the Cortland Standard and Peter Blanchard of the Cortland Voice, Brad Smith of WXHC, Sharon Stevans from Channel 2, Access TV; Cortlandville Legislator, Joseph Steinhoff; Cortland County Planning Board Chairperson, Ann Hotchldn; Cortland County IDA Executive Director, Garry VanGorder; Cortlandville Planning Board Members, Nick Renzi, Nasrin Parvisi, Chris Newell; Virgil Town residents, Steve Terwilliger and John Carroll; Town residents, Anne McLorn and James McLorn, Barb, Sarah, Pat and Josh Leach, Mike Whitmarsh, Pam Jenkins, Bob Martin, Patricia Roiger, Douglas and Marian Withey, Andrea and Chad Niggli, Marilyn Delorenzo, Cindy and David Lewis, (sp) Laurie Ciforenta, Randy and JoAnne Ross, Al and Kirsten Pagan, Cheri Sheridan and Forrest Earl. Supervisor Tupper called the Public Hearing to order. Town Clerk, Karen Q. Snyder, read aloud the published, posted and filed legal notice. Supervisor Tupper offered privilege of the floor to those in attendance by calling in order those individuals who signed in to speak. Thirteen of the above mentioned individuals spoke in regards to Local Law #1 of 2017, adding Chapter 75 to the Town of Cortlandville Code regulating the location of gas stations within the Town. Twelve of the thirteen residents adamantly expressed their opposition to the proposed law, with references made to the TCE spill, spot zoning and the Cortland County Planning Board recommendations. The general consensus was that Cortlandville's Aquifer is pristine and has been well protected thus far and the meeting's attendees implored the Town Board not to approve Local Law #1 of 2017. Garry VanGorder, Cortland County IDA Executive Director stated he shares concern for protecting the ground water, but feels the concerns for the environment must be reasonably balanced with opportunities for growth in the community. He urged the Town Board to move forward and commended the Town of Cortlandville for its maintenance of the Aquifer. Town resident Marilyn DeLorenzo did not submit written comments, but spoke in reference to the language in the proposed Local Law. She did not agree that there has been a diminution of retail gasoline and related sales locations available to Town residents. Ann Hotchkin, Cortland County Planning Board Chairperson, also a town resident, did not submit written comments but spoke in order to clarify previous comments from the Town Board that were not factually correct and to explain the charge of the Cortland County Planning Board. Ms. Hotchkin explained when an application is brought before the County Planning Board; the Review Committee staff makes recommendations, forwards those recommendations to the Cortland County Planning Board for their recommendations and a vote. APRIL 05, 2017 Final A PUBLIC HEARING NO. 1 Page 2 She continued by stating at the end of -2015, the gas station law was brought before the Cortland County Planning Board to primarily clean up the language as to definition of what a gas station is and areas where gas stations were to be prohibited. The Cortland County Planning Board agreed it was a good start, but felt the law needed more consideration and was then sent back to the Town. When the law was again presented, after lengthy deliberation, the Cortland County Planning Board voted against the Review Committee staff recommendations. Ms. Hotchkin reminded the Board that due to the Cortland County Planning Board voting against the recommendations of the Review Committee staff, the Town Board would be required to vote; majority plus one in order for this Local Law to pass. Supervisor Tupper thanked the presenters for their comments. No further comments or discussions were heard. The Public Hearing was closed at 5:50 p.m. Noted: Victor Siegle, Village of Homer resident, was not present for the Public Hearing but submitted written comments to be included: with the Public Hearing minutes. All written comments are attached to the Public Hearing minutes. 1 1 1 APRIL 05, 2017 TO: CORTLANDVILLE TOWN BOARD PUBLIC HEARING NO. 1 FROM: Anne & James McLorn,1052 Blue Creed Road, Cortlandville, New York DATE: 4/5/17 RE: PUBLIC COMMENT IN OPPOSITION TO PROPOSED LOCAL LAW 1 OF 2017 ALLOWING GAS STATIONS OVER THE AQUIFER PAGE 3 o ram C J C'l .4 0zp As In writing my memo to you, the Cortlandville Town Board, I realized the absurdity of this pXiroposition. I couldn't believe that I was writing, Public Commend in opposition to proposed Local. Law 1 of the year 2017 to allow gas stations over our sole source aquifer! Since (according to the Cortland County Planning Department,) THERE ARE ALREADY SEVENTEEN (17) GAS STATIONS in or in close proximity to the Town of Cortlandville and City of Cortland, there is no compelling reason to place more gas stations in this environmentally sensitive area. This fact makes the initial assertion of diminution of retail gasoline related locations available to Town residents in Proposed Local Law No. 1, a complete and utter fallacy. The second assertion that there are limited provisions in. the Code of the Town of Cortlandville regulating the location of such facilities is also a falsehood as the Town of Cortlandville zoning laws are CLEAR in relation to where retail businesses are and are not allowed. As there is no clarification of these matters necessary this proposed law is null. I am appalled and dismayed at the shortsightedness of this current Town of Cortlandville Board. How and why would such a proposed law ever even be considered? Did we learn nothing from the Smith Corona TCE pollution of our Town of Cortlandville groundwater? As a result of the Smith Corona debacle extensive studies of the groundwater flow and the need for protection against contaminations in areas above was established. The Aquifer Protection Plan put in place in 2002, (at considerable expense to the taxpayers of the Town of Cortlandville) recommends that gas stations be PROHIBITED in certain areas, and that Critical Environmental Areas should be established to protect public wellheads. This proposed law is in direct conflict with that plan and with previous actions undertaken by the Cortlandville Town Board to protect our aquifer. Not the least of which was the addition of Sections 178-2.1, 178-2.2 and 178-4.3, Article IA (entitled) Wellhead Protective Zones and Districts, that were added to Town of Cortlandville zoning laws and enacted 1/16/08. I believe that this proposed law is a prime example of SPOT ZONING which is ILLEGAL. According to a Memo from the Cortland County Planning Board to this Board dated March 17, 2016, "the placement of gas stations over the aquifer is too much risk to the public water supplies. The aquifer in the Town of Cortlandville should be designated as a Critical Environmental Area (CEA). There needs to be protections in place for fiiture public water supplywells as there is a concern that over time, the wellhead protection area boundaries could change. Why would this Board ignore the opinion and -recommendations of the Cortland County Planning Board? This iil-conceived law would even allow gas stations to be built in flood zones and would allow gas stations to be built over vast areas of our sole source aquifer, which have been and must remain protected! Proposed Local Law 1 of 2017 to allow gas stations to be built over our sole source aquifer needs to be disposed of and NEVER revisited I brought my 21 year old son here with me tonight, so he could bear witness to the purveyors of this intolerable law. WATER IS OUR MOST PRESCIOUS COMMODITY. It is my opinion as a resident, taxpayer and voter, that it is your civic duty as our lawmakers to ensure that our water is preserved for our children and generations to come. No amount of money or profit is worth jeopardizing our water. APRIL 05, 2017 PUBLIC HEARING NO. 1 PAGE 4 kbe,4 r r oe-k A — Beware of the Ides of March! Someone that you trust to protect you and your water maybe changing a law which would have a greater potential to pollute the aquifer. This new law seems to be justified on need due to reduction of retail gasoline & sales location available to town residents. What data supports this conclusion? Has a traffic, population or marketing study been performed? What is the baseline year or number of sales locations? How does this compare with current conditions? Sales locations available to Cortlandville residents now are: (6) in Cortlandville (6) in the City of Cortland (2) in Homer Cortlandville locations: • South Cortland (4) pumps • Polkville ( 3) stations (23) pumps ® 281/22 2 (5) pumps • Rte 13/McLean Rd (2) pumps City of Cortland locations: • Port Watson/Pendleton (3) pumps • Church/Port Watson (4) pumps • Rte 13 Tompkins/Broadway (2) stations (9) pumps • Clinton/Rte 13 (6) pumps • Wheeler Ave (3) pumps Homer locations: • Rte 90 /281(2) stations (11) pumps Note: A number of pumps have more than one fill nozzle and/or are duel fuel. For commuters there are nearby gasoline sales locations: Dryden, Truxton, Ithaca, Varna, Lansing, Tully, McLean; Preble at 181 Are more retail gasoline and related sales locations really needed in the Town of Cortlandville? 1 1 i� APRIL 05, 2017 PUBLIC HEARING NO. 1 PAGE 5 My name is Garry VanGorder, and as executive director of the Cortland County Business Development Corporation I am here to speak in support of the town's proposal to open up certain tracts of land for service station development, We all share concern for protecting the groundwater, but I think it's important to recognize that concerns for the environment must be reasonably balanced with opportunities for growth in the community. New service stations and related retail operations mean capital investment, job creation, and other spin-off revenues from which we all benefit in today's high -tax environment. The current prohibition on such development is an unintended consequence of the town's decades -long work to ensure that any development over the aquifer properly safeguards the community's water supply. Those efforts, in fact, have led to widespread recognition of Cortlandville's aquifer protection regulations as the most stringent in New York State. It is my belief that the town has no intentions of moving backwards in this regard. But being tough doesn't have to mean being unreasonable, and I also believe the town's approach to this issue has been deliberate, thoughtful, and intentional with respect to its work to secure the facts. Predictions for catastrophe should be weighed against the opinions of local health and hydrology experts who, when called to town hall recently to provide their perspectives, could provide no sound reasoning for why such development could not move forward given the unlikelihood of a major incident, the nature of gasoline movement in the ground should such an incident occur, the locations of potential new site development in proximity to wellheads, and significant technological advancements in the field. The current proposal is already inclusive of nearly a dozen contingencies forwarded by the county planning director, and any proposed developments must still pass planning review and other siting regulations. I strongly urge the town to move forward with the proposed change. Filed 1 /0 7 M. TOWN OF CORTLANDVILLE CORTLAND COUNTY , • 5577 iE CE RQAD ' `•' '•, OWN CLERK Garry L.

The proposed gas station law conflicts with the 2002 Aquifer Protection plan which was paid for by Cortlandville taxpayers. That Aquifer Protection Plan recommends that gas stations be prohibited in certain areas, and that Critical Environmental Areas should be established to protect public wellheads. Local Law 1 of 2017 (gas stations over the aquifer) fails to address the increased risks, and the concerns and recommendations made by the Cortland County Planning Board, citizens and officials. The Cortland County Planning Board recommended against it. There are numerous gas stations in the City of Cortland and Cortland County. If a new applicant wants to build a gas station it could not be denied permits under the proposed' law because the law would make gas stations legally allowed in the areas where they have until now, been prohibited. The proposed law removes the current requirement that applicants need to apply for a use variance; applicants would only need to apply for a conditional permit and aquifer protection permit. Even with the best technology, leaks happen, human error happens, equipment failures happen, floods, happen! There is no guarantee against catastrophic leaks. Pat Reidy of the Soil and Water Conservation District told Cortlandville Board members that depending upon the leak detection system used, leaks could go undetected at a leak rate of .1 to .2 gallons per hour. We need to protect our water! A water protector, Filed �� .LJrL co ! 7 _ M. TOWN OF CORTLANDVILLE CORTLAND COUNT( 3877 i RRACE ROAD RTLAND, .Y. TOWN CLERK 1 1 1 1 APRIL 05, 2017 PUBLIC HEARING NO. 1 PAGE 7 Gas Law Local Law 1 of 2017 4 S 2017 public hearing comments Board members, It is inconceivable that the Cortlandville Town Board is attempting to pass this law which would make it much easier for un-named developers to build gas stations over the aquifer in the areas which have been protected so far. The Law would -open a total of 668 acres in numerous areas over the aquifer, in Zone 2 of the Aquifer Protection District, many are in flood zones, in areas zoned B1, B2 and B3 ( outside of wellhead protection areas 1A and 1B). Some of those areas that would newly be opened to gas station development are owned by Town Board member Greg Leach or his family. He must, therefore, recuse himself from discussion or vote on this law. The proposed law would remove the requirement that developers would have to apply for and receive a Use Variance... they would only need to get a Conditional Permit and an Aquifer Protection Permits. But the proposed law conflicts with the very conditions of the Conditional Permits and with the Aquifer Protection District provisions. it fails to incorporate the recommendations of Cortland County officials. It conflicts with the recommendations of the Cortland County Planning Board, as documented in the March 17, 2016 letter from Dan Dineen to Cortlandville. He wrote: • the placement of gas stations over the aquifer is too much of a risk to the public water supplies. • the aquifer in the Town of Cortlandville should be designated as a Critical Environmental Area (CEA). • there needs to be protections in place for future public water supply wells. • there is concern that over time, the wellhead protection area boundaries could change or be affected by a large draw of water from the aquifer. • Since there are already seventeen gas stations in or in close proximity to the Town and City, there is no compelling reason to place more gas stations in this environmentally sensitive area. • The Cortland County Planning Board passed a motion recommending that the Town consider prohibiting gas stations over the aquifer between the City of Cortland border and the Town of Virgil boundary. A proliferation of gas stations over the aquifer would increase risks to the aquifer m equip er}t failures, leaks, accidents, floods, human error. Filed �CG��/a017 hll. TOWN OF CORTLANDVILLE CORTLAND COUNTY 3577 TERRACE ROAD ' RTLANI), N.Y. • TOWN CLERK 1. of 11 APRIL 05, 2017 PUBLIC HEARING NO. 1 PAGE 8 On February 15, 2017, Mike Ryan, PE of the County Health Department told the Town Board, that there is no way to guarantee against catastrophic leaks. He also told the board that certain bodies of water would take leaks directly into the aquifer almost immediately, and that gas leaks can travel 300 to 3000 feet depending upon what they are traveling through. He also told the board to put into the law that only above ground tanks would be allowed in certain areas. He pointed out to the Board that the Aquifer Protection Plan of 2002 prohibits gas stations in certain areas which the proposed law would allow gas stations to be built in. Pat Reidy of the Soil and Water Conservation District told Cortlandville Town Board members that depending upon the leak detection system used, gasoline leaks could go undetected at a leak rate of .1 to .2 gallons per hour. All of these suggestions from Cortland County officials were ignored by Cortlandville in the proposed gas station law. Several of the areas that would allow gas stations under the proposed Local Law 1(gas stations over the aquifer) are along the river, in wetlands, and in flood zones, all are over the aquifer. See gis maps. According to our lawyer, because of how the law would affect zoning, it would accomplish spot zoning, which is illegal. The SEQR violations which have occurred are too numerous to mention... Cortlandville skipped the SEAR steps that were to required to be followed before this public hearing could take place. The proposed law conflicts with the aquifer protection recommendations of the 2002 Aquifer Protection Plan and the 2013 Draft Land Use Plan.. Both Plans caution against destruction of we>lands, against removal of shrub, and tree buffers, and against development in floodplains, and against expanding non —conforming uses because of the risk to pollution of the aquifer, and the ill effect those activities have on surrounding residential property values. (see wetland and flood map, excerpts from both Plans, attached) The 2002 Plan recommends that the Town of Cortlandville establish Critical Environmental Areas to further protect public well heads. Executive Summary page 3. Cortlandville has not done that. In Planning Area 2, in the area of Lorings Crossing X 13 and East River Road, it recommends "Continuation of non -conforming uses shall be discouraged." Chapter 4 page S. Gas stations are non -conforming uses. "Areas within and near aquifer recharge and wellhead areas need to attract clean industries that are non -chemical based and that do not pose potential contamination concerns over aquifer contamination. In addition the types of development and redevelopment that need to occur need to 1 2 of 11 APRIL 05, 2017 PUBLIC HEARING NO. 1 PAGE 9 limit the amount of impervious surfaces to enhance and protect wellhead and aquifer recharge areas." This was taken directly from Chapter 4 page 14 of the 2002 Aquifer Protection Plan. It recommends against gas stations in 131 areas. Chapter 4, page 17 Allowing gas stations in 132 "remain a concern due:to potential negative impacts upon the aquifer.' Chapter 4, page 19 Given that there is a real public need to protect the groundwater now and into the future and that there is no public need for more gas stations, this law should be scrapped. Finally. This is being submitted with 8 pages of illustrations. Thank you, Pam Jenkins 1 J 3 of 11 APRIL 05, 2017 PUBLIC HEARING NO. 1 PAGE 10 �r Cortland County Planning Department DANmL S.

Dineen, Director of Planning 2v Date: March 17, 2016 Re: County Planning Board review of proposed gas station local, law I want to take this opportunity to clarify the County Planning Board review and recommendation of the Town's proposed gas station local law. The Planning Board made a motion to approve. the County Planning Department staff s recommendation to the Town to adopt the proposed local law pertaining to gas stations. This motion failed by a unanimous vote of zero yes votes and seven no votes. The reasons discussed by the Board behind this vote included the following: • the placement of gas stations over the aquifer is too much of a risk to the public water supplies. • the aquifer in the Town of Cortlandville should be designated as a Critical Environmental Area (CEA). • there needs to be protections in place for future public water supply wells. • there is a concern that over time, the wellhead protection area boundaries could change or be affected by a large draw of water from the aquifer. • since there are already seventeen gas stations in or in close proximity to the Town and City, there is no compelling reason to place more gas station in this environmentally sensitive area. The Board ultimately unanimously passed a new motion recommending that the Town consider prohibiting gas stations over the' aquifer between the City of Cortland boundary and the Town of Virgil boundary. The Board, during their discussion of the application, was supportive of the allowance of gas station development in the other B-2 and B-3 zones outside of this area. I hope that this clarifies the County Planning Board's review and recommendation of this proposal.

The contamination was traced back to the former,Smith Corona Typewriter site. As a result of the contamination, there was a gathering of local officials to address the discovery and to learn about the constituents found in the water supply. Once the health consequences were known, new water lines were installed to take public water to areas where private wells were subjected to the same contaminated. Water quality specialists from USGS, Soil and Water Conservation District, Cortland County Water Quality Management Coordinating Committee, Layne/Hydro Group, Cortland County Health Department, SUNY Cortland, City of Cortland Water Board, Town of Cortlandville and many concerned citizens all took part in gathering data for a remediation plan. Many monitoring wells were installed to determine the extent of the problem, both area wise and depth of the contamination. Using valid science and having credible or, anizations on board, the Cortlandville Town Board could reasonably act on remediation and preventative action plans. Within the preventative action plan was a local law proposal to restrict certain types of commercial and industrial uses over the aquifer contribution area which could adversely and directly affect the water quality for our water consumers. The "Aquifer Protection Permit" process was put into action which afforded the Town of Cortlandville Planning Board and the Cortland County Planning Board the authority to scrutinize project proposals and make recommendations back to the Town Board whether to accept or reject plans. This has worked very well and is imperative for the protection of our water supply. Current proposals to alter the "Aquifer Protection Permit" and thereby allow the construction of gas stations over the aquifer needs not be entertained and should not be entertained. When the town turned down a proposal for a large gas station on the site where the TCE and TCA contamination originated, the Town of Cortlandville stood its ground, listened to the Cortland County Planning Board and their own Town Planning Board and subsequently turned down the proposal. In a resulting law suit, the law was tested all the way to the Supreme Court and was upheld. The present plan works very well and our community understands the need for it. APRIL 05, 2017 PUBLIC HEARING NO. 1 PAGE 22 Page 2 (cont.) Re: Aquifer Protection Permit In recent history, an proposal from Top's Market for a gas station was dropped due to the • current regulations. In addition, a letter from the Cortlandville Town Board was sent to the Town of Virgil asking them to turn town a proposal for the gas station at Webb Road. What has changed since then to allow these new proposed developments? As a local business owner and service provider, l have eleven vehicles on the road and other assorted pieces of equipment that require petroleum products on a daily basis. If we had to wait in long lines to get our petroleum products, 1 might be concerned. This is not the case. If I had to pay high prices for my petroleum products I might be-concemed and might welcome the competition of another gas station but, from all my travels, we have some of the lowest prices for gas and diesel in the state. From what I have been able to gather,'those who want to see the regulations changed to allow for construction of gas stations are not members of our community and they have no vested interest in the protection of our "Sole Source Aquifer". Rather, they only have interest in doing business on a corporate level and then taking those corporate profits elsewhere. A gas station typically does not provide high wages for its employees. The pay scale is minimum wage or slightly above, and quite often the employees work staggered hours and less than 32 hours per week. Managers would earn around $17.00 per hour, Assistant Managers typically earn around $11.00 per hour, and might receive benefits. From these figures, there is no significant employment or economic boost associated with having another gas station. l was told that the sales tax revenue would be a big boost to our local economy, however, that would be to suggest that more gasoline would be sold in our area as a result of more gas stations. I'm pretty sure that our driving habits aren't going to change as a result of an additional gas staticia in our area or our gas consumption. The law is good law and should not be changed. l believe any change in relaxing the current restrictions would be a suggestion that all past actions taken that relate to the aquifer protection process were based on bad science. We know that this is not the case. This would suggest that determinations by the Cortland County Planning Board and the Town of Cortlandville Planning Board were based on bad science and bad information. We know that this too is not the case. This is what I know: The Town of Cortlandville Planning Board is opposed to changing the aquifer permit to allow for gas stations over the aquifer. The Cortland County Planning Board is also opposed to the change, The Cortland County Health Department is not in favor of the proposed change but, would like to see further alignment with other standing regulations. Cortland County Soil and Water Conservation District could consider gas stations beyond the 5 year recapture area. APRIL 05, 2017 PUBLIC HEARING NO. 1 PAGE 23 Page 3 (cant:) Re: Aquifer Protection Permit 1 have heard that some of the board members did visit the Top's Market Gas Station in the Ithaca area and feel comfortable with the protection afforded to this station. I just want to note that this station does not sit on a public water supply aquifer, the soils are quite different and their water treatment process is for a surface water supply and not a ground water supply. We are not comparing apples to apples. Let's not forget that the initial contamination of TCE and TCA that prompted this protection plan is still in the ground water after 30 years. While it is in low concentration it is still there and will be for some time. So, if there is no gas shortage, no long lines, prices are reasonable, little to no economic boost, no support from the boards that are in place to study the impacts of proposals like this, then as elected officials, listen to your planning boards and support them and the 25 plus years of success from a proactive regulation that all of us can rely on today and future generations. Douglas E. Withey W2 Operator Training Group 1 L] APRIL 05, 2017 PUBLIC HEARING NO. 1 PAGE 24 This part of Cortland County - the town of Cortlandville, the municipalities of Cortland and Homer, and associated areas have a few good things going for them. One of the most sign cant is our almost pristine aquifer, which provides excellent, clean water even at times like last summer, when the water in nearby communities like Ithaca was not only scarce, but bad quality. In my book our good, clean aquifer is the best asset we have. Don't spoil it. The proposed gas station law, if passed, has an excellent chance of doing just that. It's a bad idea to open up this significant acreage on aquifer recharge area for additional gas stations. It's a bad idea to allow gas stations on recharge areas for our precious aquifer, which is so close to the surface and provides wonderful clean water to our whole area It's a bad idea to eliminate the requirement for a use variance for each individual gas station siting. It's a bad idea to -allow any gas stations above our precious aquifer, let alone doing spot zoning and not even stipulating above -ground tanks, where leaks could be readily identified. it's a bad idea to let the prospect of a relatively small amount of sales tax revenues from associated non-food sales and selfish interests drive this important decision. It's a bad idea to waste taxpayer's money passing this careless and self-serving law without following legal requirements, thus exposing the town of Cortlandville to wasteful lawsuits and legal expense with taxpayer's money.

TOWN CLERK 1 1 1 1 IJ A.PRIL 05, 2017 PUBLIC HEARING NO.1 PAGE 25 To Cortlandville Board Public Hearing April S'h 2017 To date the Cortlandville Town Board is to be applauded for their efforts to protect the Town/Cities sole source aquifer I can recall when two gas stations were on opposite corners.of McClean Road and Rt 281. Those gas stations are now gone and I do not recall any outcry from the, community. A large gas pump project was proposed on the corner of Rt13 and Lime Hollow Road. The Town fought this proposed project and even went to court to protect the sole source aquifer. The Town prevailed in that court case. Hence there is ample evidence to show that the Cortlandville Town Board has been a true guardian of your most precious water supply. However, something or some body has given an impetus for the Town Board to alter the law that protects large tracts of land over the Aquifer. If this law is implemented these areas would be open to the establishment of gas stations over the aquifer. The County Planning Board has reviewed the proposed law and in a response to the Town Board of Cortlandville pointed out that all 7 members of the County Planning Board voted NO on the Cortlandvile proposed law. As background to their NO vote they offered up the following comments: 1) The placement of gas stations over the aquifer is too much of a risk to the public water supply. F(ed'2/ K 4116-lft )"l: M.

Critical Environmental Area. 3) There needs to be protections in place for future public water supply wells. 4) There is a concern that over time, the wellhead protection area boundaries could change or be affected by a large draw of water from the aquifer, 5) Since there are already seventeen gas stations in or in close proxmity to the Town and City there is NO compelling reason to place more gas stations in this environmental sensitive area. In view of the strong opposition. taken by Mr. Dan Dineen Director of Planning and the County Planning board I would ask that the members of the Cortlandville Town Board also strongly oppose -the proposed law. ; John Carroll APRIL 05, 2017 PUBLIC HEARING NO. 1 PAGE 27 Dear Cortlandviile Town Board: I would be very disappointed in our Town Board if you take the risks of changing the laws, that currently protect our sole source aquifer.

Please consider carefully the March 17 letter from Dan Dineen of the Cortland County Planning Department. Each of his 5 major points are sufficient reason to vote "NO" on the proposed gas station local law; together his points provide an overwhelming conclusion to reject this proposed local law. Since I received my driver's license in Cortland in 1964,1 have never had any problem filling my gas tank, except during the Arabian oil embargos in the 1970s. Cortland does not appear to need any more gas stations, so the potential environmental risk is not worth the minimal reward. Why would you want to weaken the existing law? Please vote "NO" on this proposal. Voting "NO" will go far towards restoring citizens' faith in the capability of the Cortlandville Town Board to make the proper decision on this issue.
