Town of Dryden
Planning Board July 19th, 1984
®The Planning Board met on July 19th, 1984 at 8:00 P.M. with members R. Lamp -
ila, J. Hunt, Chairwoman B. Caldwell, B. Lavine, R. Chase, E. Dollaway, and
Z: O. S: Stewart present.
Chr. Caldwell called the meeting to order at 8:10 P.M. for the public hear-
ing for the Dryden Enterprise proposed sub - division. Clyde Cotterill explained
the proposal may have a couple of changes in size of parcels making parcel 7 just
under 5 acres and parcel 8 5.11 acres. There were no other proposed changes.
Chr. Caldwell asked for correspondance from DOT which Mr. Cotterill was sup-
posed to bring with him tonight. Mr. Cotterill reported the meeting scheduled
with DOT had been postponed until the following week on the proposed plans along
Rt. 38. Mr. Cotterill had just picked up the maps and had not had a chance to
talk to Co. Planning either.
R. Chase asked about the angle of the extension on Goddard's property and
Cotterill explained If it was extended straight, it would be back in a swamp to-
wards Mott Rd.
Village Board of Trustees present included Mayor Lane, Herb Whetzel, and
Don McCrimmon. Mayor Lane commented that the proposed sub: division, as the:Vi1-
lage is putting sewer through that area, however, the Village feels that this
is a good example of poor planning and they are getting the cart way before the
horse. The road is in place and now there are hearings on the sub - division.
The Village's concerns with regard to this sub- division are traffic safety and
® potential run -off.
The new road across from Lewis St, in the Village is feared to become a by-
pass for the traffic light at 13 and 38 and at the four corners, causing a
greater number of accidents on Lewis St. and Lewis St. Extension.
The run -off from this area runs into the Village into Egypt Creek. The Vil-
lage went on record strongly opposing this due to the inadequacy of the Town
bridge on Lewis St. and the low banks of Egypt Creek. Egypt Creek is susceptible
to ice jams and is a creek which floods houses.
Mayor Lane read portions o.f a letter from Co. Planning, Brian McElvey,
dated March 23rd. "...enclosed are my observations. 1. Due to problems the
Village of Dryden has already had with regards to flooding, it is 'my view to
impose strict performance standards relating to run -off water on this site.
These restrictions could include, a) containment of run -off water during con-
struction to prevent erosion and siltation of streams, b) on site impoundment
to contain excessive run -off water caused by the development of roads, buildings,
parking lots, etc., and c) new run -off should not exceed existing run -off prior
to development."
Clyde Cotterill said his group concurrs that the water should be drained
along Rt. 38. He said the Dryden Groton Insurance is putting in a dry well, as
should all developers with large parcels.
® Don McCrimmon stated his concern about pedestrian traffic along Lewis St.
and 38 up to the High School.and that a combined effort between the Town and
Village for sidewalks be made.
Fred Apgar, a
resident on 38 by the
proposed sub- division, had concerns''of
safety and drainage
along his
property.
He is worried about the the ditch

going in front, of his house.
Curb cuts onto 38 from lots 2,3, and
traffic that could use Ellis Drive rather
Ideas presented: A public road going across the back of lots 2, 3, and
4, a private d tive across those lots, the idea of restricting the access to
lots 3 and 4 should lots 2,3, and 4 be developed individually, restricting
access to lots 3 and 4 to a common access and making Ellis -Drive one way.
4 are concerns and is believed any
than 38 would be best.
This Bd. felt they did not have information required from Mr. Cotterill
for this meeting. He was read what needs to be on a sketch plan and a prelim-
inary plat. A contour map would also be helpful.
Chr. Caldwell said she felt the Bd. did not have enough information to
make a decision tonight.
B. Lavine moved to recess this public hearing and
