Councilman Tupper called the Public Hearing to order.
Town Clerk, Karen Q. Snyder read aloud the published, posted and filed legal notice.
Councilman Tupper offered privilege of the floor to those in attendance.
Donna Johnson, 1223 Louise Drive, apprised the Board there are a number of people in
her surrounding neighborhood (Louise Drive, Levydale Park, Isabel Drive, Route 215, Starr
Road) who are in favor of the proposed Noise Control Ordinance. Mrs. Johnson urged the Board
to adopt the ordinance.
Barbara Fauth, a member of the Neighborhood Watch Group, and a supporter of the
proposed ordinance, questioned whether the Board would vote on the matter tonight or wait until
the next meeting.
Councilman Tupper apprised Mrs. Fauth that the Board would vote on the proposed
ordinance later in the meeting.
Councilman O'Donnell questioned whether Attorney Folmer added a section to the
ordinance regarding agricultural equipment.
Attorney Folmer apprised the Board the only comment concerning the proposed
ordinance was concern about agricultural equipment. Therefore, under Section 6. Exceptions
and variances, the following would be added:
D. The emission of sound from agricultural equipment engaged in agricultural or
related activities.
Attorney Folmer explained that in a rural community the Town could not establish a noise level
that would prevent a farmer from using his tractor.
Councilman Rocco questioned whether there would be any mediation between the Sheriff
and the involved party when the decibel reader is used to measure noise.
Attorney Folmer apprised Councilman Rocco that what he was referring to was a policy
statement drafted by the Chief of Police of the City of Canandaigua, which was the source
material for the Town's Noise Control Ordinance. The Chief of Police distributed a memo to his
employees indicating that when they measured noise with the decibel meter that they take one
reading rather than a series of readings. He also stated that attempting to mediate the situation
was not particularly successful. Attorney Folmer explained that mediation was not part of the
ordinance, but was part of the enforcement procedure.

Councilman Rocco stated he did "not think it would be in the best interest of the Town
that the airport be expanded in any shape, way or form." He stated that the airport is in the
middle of a residential area that is growing, and mentioned he has been in attendance for three
plane crashes into surrounding farmland, which is no longer just farmland. Councilman Rocco
stated he did not see any need for an expansion of the airport, or an expansion of the runway.
Councilman Rocco suggested the County move the airport to another location, or keep it
as it is. He mentioned that the airport sits on the aquifer and stated that CAPE should be
interested in the issue.
Councilman Tupper offered privilege of the floor to Nick Renzi.
Planning Board member, Nick Renzi acknowledged the fact that the Town Board agenda
was available of the Cortlandville website. He commended Town Clerk Snyder and others who
worked on posting the information for the public. Mr. Renzi informed the Board he would
suggest that the Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals also post their meeting agendas on
the website.
Councilman Tupper thanked the Supervisor's Secretary, Patty O'Mara for "quickly
responding to comments made last week" about the agenda.
Councilman Rocco stated the agenda was listed on the website under the heading, "Town
Board." He apprised Mr. Renzi there was also a spot for email addresses if members chose to
utilize that method of communication.
Monthly reports of the Town Justice for the month of June and July 2005, and for the
Water & Sewer Dept. for the month of July 2005, were on the table for review and are filed in
the Town Clerk's office.
There was discussion regarding the proposed Noise Control Ordinance.
Attorney Folmer questioned whether a decibel reader machine was purchased.
Town Clerk Snyder stated Under Sheriff Marty Coolidge was researching different decibel
meter readers and where to purchase them.
Councilman Tupper mentioned that the Board authorized the expenditure.
Attorney Folmer apprised the Board the ordinance discusses decibel levels at 65 dBA. He
shared a decibel measuring chart with the Board, which measures normal breathing at 10 dBA;
laughter at 60-65 dBA; a lawn mower at 85-90; a jackhammer at 110 dBA; a Rock Concert at 110-
140 dBA. Attorney Folmer stated the Board might have to amend the ordinance to adjust the
decibel levels after testing has been done with the decibel reader. In the meantime, one of the
sections provides a method by which the noise ordinance, as written, can be enforced without
reference to the decibel meter itself. If the Board adopts the ordinance in its present form,
amendments can be made in the future to adjust the decibel levels.
Barbara Fauth questioned how the public would know if an amendment to the decibel levels
were made.
Attorney Folmer informed Mrs. Fauth an amendment would be done in the form of a local
law, and when enacted has to be amended by a local law. Notice would be given, and a public
hearing would be held.
Councilman Rocco stated he has been in favor of a Noise Control Ordinance for the past
five years. He stated the town is growing rapidly, and "with great vigor" he made a motion to adopt
the Local Law.

Attorney Folmer reported:
Updating Article XI of the Town Code — Planned Unit Development:
Attorney Folmer commented that the Planning Board requested the Town Board review
Article XI of the Town Code, Planned Unit Development (PUD), which has not been amended nor
reviewed since its original adoption. Therefore, Attorney Folmer requested the Board adopt a
resolution for a moratorium on the receipt, processing, and approval of PUD applications for 90
days. Currently, the Town has one pending application for a PUD, which would not be affected by
the resolution. In addition, the Board reserved the right to extend the period of the moratorium.
RESOLUTION #162 DECLARE A 90 DAY MORATORIUM ON THE RECEIPT,
PROCESSING, AND APPROVAL OF APPLICATIONS FOR
PERMITS AND APPROVALS PURSUANT TO ARTICLE XI OF
THE CODE OF THE TOWN OF CORTLANDVILLE
Motion by Councilman Rocco
Seconded by Councilman O'Donnell
VOTES: ALL AYE ADOPTED
WHEREAS, article XI of the Code of the Town of Cortlandville has not been amended nor
reviewed since its original adoption; and
WHEREAS, changes in state and local statutes and regulations as well as changes in the community
have caused the Town Board to consider a review of said article necessary and advisable to insure
its completeness and applicability to current law and conditions;
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved as follows:
1. There is hereby declared a moratorium on the receipt, processing and approval of
applications for permits and approvals pursuant to Article XI of the Code of the Town of
Cortlandville for a period of 90 days from the date hereof.
2. No pending applications pursuant to Article XI shall be affected by this resolution.
3. The Town Board reserves its right to extend the period of this moratorium, should
circumstances warrant.
Revision of Article XVI of the Town Code - Stormwater Management and Erosion and
Sediment Control:
Attorney Folmer discussed the Planning Board's request for the Board to update Article
XVI of the Town Code, Stormwater Management and Erosion and Sediment Control. The Board
sent a copy of Article XVI to the Cortland County Soil & Water Conservation District for review.
He reported that the Town was waiting for the County's response.
Regulating Lot Size with regard to Septic Systems/Depth of Lots:
Attorney Folmer discussed the Planning Board's request for the Board to consider
regulating lot sizes with septic systems to a 2-acre parcel. The request was part of a series of
changes in the applicable regulations from the State of New York. Attorney Folmer suggested the
Board wait till the changes in the regulations were adopted.
AUGUST 17, 2005 TOWN BOARD MEETING PAGE 8
Councilman Rocco commented that the Planning Board also suggested the depth of lots be
no more than three times the average width. He stated he had personal experience seeing
developers develop property with "an 80' frontage and a 300' depth to qualify for a septic system."
He continued by stating that property owners then come to the Town for a variance, and the small
lot size becomes even smaller. The developer sells more lots, which "trailer-izes" the housing
developments.
Attorney Folmer agreed and stated that both suggestions from the Planning Board were
valid. However, he suggested the Board adopt all the regulations from the State at the same time
rather than by piecemeal.
Attorney Folmer commented on Mr. Renzi's request at the August 3, 2005 Board Meeting
to have the abovementioned items as permanent agenda items until completed. He requested the
Board not honor Mr. Renzi's request. Two of the three items are based on information the Board
has asked for and is waiting for. If an item is listed on the agenda, the public has the implication
that it will be discussed.
Councilman Rocco questioned what would happen if a developer came to the Town in the
interim and wanted to create parcels with 80' frontage and 300' depth.
Attorney Folmer stated the developer would be subject to Planning Board review and
guidelines.
Town Board Agenda:
Attorney Folmer apprised the Board that Deputy Supervisor Testa requested he ask the
Board to consider changing the cutoff date for the agenda from the Tuesday before a meeting at
noon to Monday at noon. Attorney Folmer suggested the Board discuss the issue at their next
meeting.
Super Wal-Mart PUD:
Attorney Folmer apprised the Board he spoke with the attorneys for Wal-Mart and asked
about the preparation of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The attorneys anticipated the
EIS would be complete in early September.
Councilman O'Donnell made a motion, seconded by Councilman Rocco, to receive and file
correspondence from Melissa and Britton Chan, 3285 Coventry Lane, dated August 3, 2005
regarding the proposed Super Wal-Mart PUD. All voting aye, the motion was carried.
Councilman Rocco made a motion, seconded by Councilman O'Donnell, to receive and file
correspondence from Joan Goodell, 970 Walden Pond Lane, dated August 1, 2005 regarding the

of Dryden. All voting aye, the motion was carried.
