• Notice was made that on Dec. 16, 1976 a meeting was held by the planning
board with Caldwell, Lyon and Buhl present. Since a quorum was not present,
no official action could be taken. However, since there were quite a few
members of the public present to discuss the role of mobile homes in the
county, discussion did take place with action deferred until the January meeting.
The latest Rt 13 map from the Tomp.Co. Planning Dept. showing a new set
of alternatives was received for discussion and transmission to the Town
Board. No action was taken on its proposed alternatives at this time.

B. Caldwell briefed the members on the Co. Planning Board meeting. There
will be a forum on SEQR shortly to help localities with necessary implementation.
Airport Hazard Zone - The County Planning Dept. has come up with some new I
recommendations to more clarly define the hazard zone and we will start
studying them next meeting. S
There have been some Health Dept. problems with Mr. Lucente's development Is
off Sapsucker Woods Rd. and we are awaiting clarification on them.

Mobile Homes - At request of Town Board we were asked to study the mobile home l:
situation in the Town, especially in the Bone Plain /N. Wood Rd. area. There �t
have been several meetings on this with much S
g public input as well as individual
• and group study and discussion. Based on that the Planning Board makes the
following statement:
a. We are not recommending a moratorium on mobile homes. l
b. Mobile homes fill a definite housing need. Mobile homes on individual
lots also fill a definite need in the Town of Dryden. We are not recommending
that mobile homes be restricted to mobile home parks.
c. The "junk" problems is not necessarily a mobile home problem but is
to a certain extent town -wide. There are existing regulations for junk in the
zoning ordinance. Perhaps they need additional interpretation, public
awareness, and enforcement to a greater extent.
d. We are making no recommendations on the question of mobile homes on
permanent foundations at this time. We need additional information on taxation.
e. We are recommending that a certificate of occupancy be required for
all new homes including mobile homes. This should consist not only of a
check to see that the property conforms to zoning requirements, but a certificate
that facilities for water and sewage disposal have been installed as designed
by the Tomp.Co. Health Dept. This could be handled as an addendum to the
building permit which would simplify filing and cross checking.
f. We ask the Town Board to request that the County Health Dept, check
the Bone Plain - N. Wood Rd. area due to comments made from the public at our
previous meetings about possible sanitary problems in that area.
g. We recommend to the Town Board that skirting be required on all mobile
homes, including those on individual lots, on the same time basis as we currently
require skirting in mobile home parks.
h. We have no specific recommendation on expansion of RB or RB -1 at this
time but are open to petitions from residents.
The Planning Board went on record in requesting that the Co. Health Dept,
continue its testing of individual septic systems, raising costs if necessary'.
While their accuracy is limited, they are of value.
