1. PUBLIC HEARING - Larry & Claudia King (Subdivision)
Larry King, 50 Upper Creek Road, Freeville - I would like to divide two
building lots that are each approximately two and one -half acres off of my
parcel of approximately 43 acres for the purpose of selling for
residential use. The two lots would be located on Etna Road. The lots
have already been surveyed. (The survey map was presented to the Board.)
The lots we are speaking of is marked lot. 3.and 4, as the ones that I want
to subdivide. The TC Health Department has certified both lots for sewer
systems. (The Environmental Assessment Form was presented to the Board).
In regards to the drainage it was noted that the lots were divided so that
the natural drainage passage not be the boundry line between the two
.parcels but would be located on one lot. (This was reflected on the
current survey map.)
The Environmental Assessment Form was reviewed. It was noted that there
would be a minimal impact, but no significant environmental factors.
There was no public comment. M. Lavine moved to give a negative
declaration of the Environmental Assessment Form, G. Rotunda seconded. 5

B. Caldwell - If there are no further questions, the public hearing was
declared closed.

H. King discussed the possibilities of splitting the remaining land into
two parcels of approximately 5.75 acres each, one with frontage as a
potential building lot, the other to augment an existing lot. The Board
saw no significant problems based on the preliminary sketch but would
require further documentation through the subdivision process if Mr. and
Mrs. King decide to pursue this possibility.
2. PUBLIC HEARING - Jay and Robyn Smith (Subdivision)

backside of my property that will have 125' road frontage only on a new

3. PUBLIC HEARING - Nark Stevens (Subdivision)
A public hearing to consider the application of Mark Stevens for a
subdivision off Route 366 near Shew Furniture to subdivide property into
11 lots. This is a continuation of that application.
Barbara Caldwell - Additional material was received since the last meeting
on this proposal including a copy of a letter from the Tompkins County
Health Department expressing some limitations: clarifying that a stream
which goes through the property is on the Classified List and noting that
special attention will be needed with run -off and drainage plans. Several
of the residents of the area again expressed substantial concerns over the
potential drainage /run -off problems.
The Environmental Assessment Form (EAF) was reviewed and several changes
were made. Areas on the EAF of special concern, or where more technical
information is needed, include amount of slope where steepness is over
15 %, amount of cleared area, time to completion (amount of time some or
much of
the
ground will
be
disturbed),
and
run -off
information.
Mr.
Stevens
decided
that
he
is
making his
application
on the basis
that the
project will be served by public water and sewer (which he is
investigating). The EAF was adjusted accordingly. He stated that he is
aware that if these public services will not be available, that he will
have to reapply to the Town of Dryden Planning Board,
B. Caldwell - If there are no further questions, the public hearing was
declared closed.
Closed Hearing
After reviewing and discussing the materials presented and the needed
information, no determination was made on the EAF or project at this time.
The Board instructed Mr. Stevens to obtain an engineer's report which
would address, but not be limited to: detailed drainage /run -off plan
during and after construction including plans for maintenance, percentage
Page 3
of amount of site cleared, topsoil reclamation /replacement, treatment of
classified stream, percentage of slope over 15 %, recommendations for
minimum impact solutions with 0% increase in run -off as desirable. Mr.
Stevens will try to obtain this information as soon as possible so the
board can make EAF and project decisions.
