of the land. Apparently there are- ,,substantiaa wetne`s's �probhems
in the area, wet basements, and runoff problems. Mir. Schl'e'cht
,.stated that there had been no formal drainage studies thus far,
however he felt that the information available thus far relating,
to general soil types and their characteristics:;.and'.geneX7a'l
gradient markings expanded from SCS maps, we,�e °relatively fw
accurate. Mr. Lavine asked if there was any 'i. fat on'..a a�'labl`e

There was discussion on possible ways of handling runoff to
management and drainage specifications around houses, possibly
in the deed restrictions. Mr. Schlecht discussed the soils and
slopes., Site is fairly wet with tight soils. Presumably will
need fill systems for septic systems but have had no Health :
Department investigation as yet. Houses will probably be somewhat
built up, minimizing possible basement problems. Concern was

exp're.ssed over the possible runoff from Lot 3 onto Lot 5, and from
Lot.5.onto Lot 6 and ways to minimize problems.
I..,reviewing the EAF the-following-points were questioned and
,adjusted: p.2 #4 which had been left'b.lank (referring to depth to
rock) -no tests have been made. Word. "unknown" inserted:.'

that no specific technical field .studies were needed in this instance.

waste) changed name-of landfill froin",Landstroms . to Tompkins County
Landfill, Page 5,C- 3.(Estimated maximum number of units under
zoning) Questioned the 103 units e:stimated.by Mr. Schlecht, reduced
it to 75 units multifamily. Again discussed storm water runoff
with possible addition to deed restrictions to the effect that
runoff from each lot cannot be channelled, or be :allowed to channel
onto another lot.
Since Planning Board members and members of the public had not
had an opportunity to study the proposed deed restrictions, Moved,
2nd, Carried to recess the Public.Hearing until Dec. 15, 1988 at
8:00 P.M. Mr. Schlecht stated that the Blocks would have no
objection to the Planning Board members walking the property.
• 20 .Don Gilbert, Town Highway Supt. stated that he plans to change
road specifications at the beginning of the year. There was a
discussion of the sequence of road building, Planning Board
approvals, road construction checking, damage during construction,
lengths of roads, types of turnarounds, etc. The Planning Board
asked to be kept informed as to what ways they could help. The
Planning Board will try to get some additional information for
Mr. Gilbert.
3. Mr. Friedman asked about status of Mark Stevens project. B. Caldwell
reported that she has received the requested letter from Mr. Herrick
regarding drainage. The road, however, is still in question. Atty.
Perkins will keep us informed regarding the road. Mr. Lavine noted
.that Mr. Stevens was apparently trying'to market some of the additional
land_.up in the area which may change some of the future'plans for
the area.
4. Mr. Friedman brought up the workshops on planning to be held in
Cortland in late November and early December. Members were encouraged
to attend as many as possible of the sessions. Mr. Heidt.will also
get the T. of Dryden booklet from Henry Slater.
