PRELIMINARY DISCUSSION tenative proposal for mobile home park which not
taken to Town Board yet. John Cummerford & Jim Shippy present with
sketch map of plans for comments & suggestions. They expressed tenative
nature of plans & ease of changing them.
Park to be located along Rte 13 from Tweitmann's on West to Johnson
Rd. on East, including where drive -in is now. Main entrance probably qh
Rte. 13 but haven't talked to DOT yet. Planning 200 -225 lots ranging
from 7 to 9 thousand sq. ft. per lot. (State requires minimum 5,000 sq ft�
Combination single & double wide homes. Sketch showed wet lands, basic
layout, tenative roads, buffers, drainage, & possible.walk -way around
perimeter. Discussed water, small reservoir, underground utilities, &
sewage systems. Also discussed Rod & Gun Club on Johnson road, safety,
rifle range, & noise. They intend to run quality park leaning toward
Sr. Citizen clientele if enough demand. Suggested phasing - 2 -5 phases
on overlays - maybe 40 -50 units per phase. After park well established,
hope to turn Tweitmann bar into laundromat & office. Also planning
recreational area to suit clientele. (walk paths, horse -shoe pit, picnit
tables, or small playground) Possibility to have separate areas for
Sr. Citizens, families, & families with pets.
Board concerned about major access onto Rte 13 being traffic hazard.
J. Shippy hoped folks leaving trailer park would be in better "shape"
than those leaving Tweitmann's bar.. Good visibility both ways, easy for
Tom Tran & school buses. Would like to have public hearing with Town
Board Sept. 10th then meet with Planning Board again Sept. 19th. Will
have EAF completed & copy of State regulations on limiting parks ib Sr.
Citizens ( age 55 and above).
Board reviewed EAF for proposed student housing for TC3. Developers
John Jackson & Brian Grinter gave brief presentation for the preliminary
discussion before setting up a special meeting when adequate time could
be given. Showed maps & sketches of two proposed three story structures•
Each structure will have 24 three or four bedroom apartments, including
kitchen, bath, and living room..Will have 48 units (one for full time -
on site manager) with sprinkler systems - maximum 188 beds. May expand
to 3 or 4 more structures if necessary.
Location of structures due to water supply &Jnot wanting to need
expensive booster pumps to locate further up hill.

lighting substantial invasion of privacy, excessive noise,,proximity'�d
Lee Rd*, decrease in property value, increase in pedestrian traffic,
loss of privacy, negative environmental impact (no indication where
drainage diverted or how contained), potential safety hazard to chilc'�er.,
future expansion not indicated at TovailBoard Meeting but listed on E.AF
(for 2nd phase intended 1987)9, immediate population expansions potentood
trespassing & property damage, fire control, excessive water run off.
Otherconcerns of residents were the 51.culvert that had been washed
out in 1981 flood. Little Egypt'Creek at full capacity now, indicatio,
at Town Board meeting intent to divert run off into swale on North side
of property which would join Little Egypt Creek* Any extra water sure,
to cause substantial property damage! Want total on site containment
of any run off! Buildings would set precedent for further developmer'�
if location acceptable* Seems site chosen for water supply & expense
of pump 'rather than concern of Tocal residents* Like to have DEC opomo�
