Ithaca /Dryden Town line. She wants to sell 4 parcels and has purchase offers
on all four. The measurement of the lots are 1.17 acres, 1.21 acres, 1.18
acres, and 1.09 acres. Technically she is asking for an ok to sell lots 1
and 4 (lot numbers beginning at Town line). There is a deed restriction on
the property limiting construction to a single family dwelling and one apart-
ment on a parcel.
A public hearing is scheduled for April 19th, 1984 at 8:00 PM. :.A comp-
leted short EAF will need to be received by the time of the public hearing.
Also, the Town of Ithaca will need to be notified of the public hearing by
means of the notice in the Ithaca Journal. Miss Wolga will also need to
bring a revised plot plan and contact the Health Department for approval.
Old Business- At the last meeting members of the P1. Bd. made maps of
the Town including present zones and wetlands. During the month, John Hunt
made additional maps.
Flood Hazard Zones- Showing general areas for the Township. Taken from
1974 maps.
State Lands- Taken from 1974 County Planning maps. Included are old
cemeteries taken from a 1973 study.
Consideration on other helpful maps was discussed. Airport Hazard zones,
water and sewer districts(not warranted), forested areas, and general pop-
ulation density for the Town.
From looking at the maps, Charles Evans commented that.they clearly
show..there is not a lot of land left that doesn't fall in the Ag. District.
B. Lavine in discussing slope areas said that something of interest is
to look at slope orientation carefully.
B. Lavine posed for consideration at-type of.floating zone, saying the
Town has a capacity for so many units of a certain type and let the develop-
ment pattern develop as it may.
C. Evans said that's what exists now and it's,O.K. if it's "somewhere
else".
B. Lavine continued. It can work'by taking transfer of development
rights. You have a given number of'rights'to develop and if you can buy
.up those rights,`you can develop on any site.you like. In'theory everyone
is happy because if you don't want a building, you make it'so he can't buy
the right to develop in the area. One way-is there are x units of develop-
ment rights and they are distributed acording to land ownership. If you own
1 /20 of the land in the Town, you get 1/10 of the development rights. By
buying and .selling rights will determine if the land is developed.
The one drawback is that there would not be a brochure and a finished
site to show people interested in building.

Buzz Lavine said he would try to find articles on this concept.
it was felt the next step in the procedure is for two or three members
to look at the maps and come up with some suggestions on ways to proceed
and or site to consider.
The Industrial Development Committee had asked the P1. Bd. to come up
with some recommended sites for commercial development. Charles Evans made
a suggestion that the maps be shown to the committee and ask them to also
make some proposals. it would bring another point of view to this meeting.
Barbara Caldwell suggested inviting members from the Development Committee
to the April meeting and have them give a presentation on where they would
zone Commercial and Industrial.
The meeting adjourned at 9:48 Pm.
