Town Board
Town of Dryden
Dryden, New York 13053
Gentlemen:
Attached herewith is a voucher for final payment for mi
services as chairman of the Planning Board. At first I had not
planned to submit such a voucher, since I know planning function
funds are scant after the many expenses incurred in preparation
of .he zoning ordinance. However, and in spite of the fact twat
this particular period was a rather "light" one when compares: to
workloads of previous quarters, I have continued as active cn air -
man, even beyond the "formal" resignation date submitted to you,
and have been busy this summer with subdivisions and the final
fire map. I will not charge or rather ask payment for this
summer period, and TTereby give assurance that the Town of Dryden-
fire map, which was carefully reviewed by the Varna co=pany, amid
-rihich is now being redrawn in a larger scale, will be completer
and distributed this fall. Duane Testut was enthused about t.e
map and feels it will be a big help, other people ^ave res^ :ded
favorably, too. It is unfortunate that the other sap was not
drawn at the scale we had indicated. Also, although I must becin
phasing, out of the chairman's duties, I will plan to eo;:vene_ the
meeting in September (the 18th). I would urge you to consider In
4. the Planning Board membership; although only Ben Sheffy ..as sub-
mitted his formal resignation due to overlapping area representa-
tion, I know that Mrs. Hardesty and I think Mrs. Keech are de..Yi_e y
resigning. I'm not sure about John Paterson. To the best of =y
knowledge Fred Lengemann, Alton Reed:; and George Hanfond - +ill
continue. I queried Alton about possible chairmansh`_p and he said
he simply could not do it due to his business and schedule. I
don't think George would want it, but am not sure. Fred r:oule =,We
a wood chairman, but I don't know if he would take it. Ginza iRo z. ,;Z
have made an excellent chairman, we all agree, and it is unfortunate
she has felt various - pressures to get out, in deference to a special
religious "halfway house" project (certainly a i:ort'rwhile one) she
Is deeply involved in. In any case, new Board members kill be
needed, and I urge you to begin thinking about such appointments
as soon as possible.
I approved yesterday the Four Seasons subd
Nobles. Am waiting for Dielt Case to check out
merit for Hap Sad.d' s extension of Windy Knolls w
reluctantly since it reprsents 15,000 sq ft lot
Still have not heard from Duane Hurlbutt on his
on Pinckney Road.

I think I can
speak for the PB when
I
say we are not overly
happy with many of
the zoning changes,
but
we know some of the prob-
lems you face. It
is unfortunate that
copies
of the revised or::inanee
couldn't have been
sent to each of the
PB members.
Thank you, and good luck to each of you.
