Town of Dryden
Present: Chw. B. Caldwell, J. Hunt, T. Bonn, B. Lavine
June 19, 1980
The planning board had no formal items for discussion at this meeting.
Mr. Hunt stated a correction in minutes of May 15, 1980 meeting concerning
sentence reading, Mr. Cotterill stated that problem was not accepting too
much road but Highway Department has not built road properly before the town
accepted them. The supervisor was asking for a plan of inspection and stan-
dards for roads so,they would be meeting specifications when finally accepted
by the town. The town highway department does not build roads.
The county planning board had its meeting with a light agenda,as re-
ported by Chairwoman Caldwell. A report on health planning services and
Parkit group... Th&.P.arkit group presented a film they had been working on
and then Martha Ferger spoke. There was some discussion.
Chairwoman Caldwell brought a 1979 sold statistics sales book. It is
broken down by area, showing what's been sellinV by price, what type finan-
cing etc. Also broken down by number of bedrooms. She had done some figur-
ing comparing three bedroom - -• prices for the last three years, versus the
five bedroom or. larger homes for the past three years. The larger homes are
appreciating at the same rate. Due to energy, location etc. was possible
reason why.
Also noted that the census data is not in as of our meeting.
Mr. Bonn asked about progress of Ag Districe #1 review. No one had
heard anything further. Chairwoman Caldwell noted that when they do re-
view, Ag District #1 could merge with another district or the new Ag Dittrict
#8.
Mr. Lavine .noted that Owasco Water Shed regulations are going into affect.
Everything he received concerning it or people he spoke to, seem to think that
Dryden does not exist in the water shed. He foresees no problem-for us, even
though Dryden does exist in the Water Shed. Regulations not any more stricter
than Health Department.
Some concern was noted on the use of wood burning stoves. Some problems:
1) using wood that is not seasoned
2) maintenance such as chimney cleaning etc.
3) proper installation.
It was suggested that a letter be sent to the five fire companies in
towns of Dryden, Varna, Etna, Freeville, and McLean, stating the boards'
concern and if they can assist in this area.
Respectfully submitted,
Joan Bray - Secretary
