Re: Rezoning Area North of Village
De,nr. Barbara:
June 29, 1993
Back on January 19, 1993 I requested the Planning Board to
review the possibility of rezoning the area adjacent to the
Village from MA to RD at the request of Ronald Goddard and Clyde
Cotter3.11. In March of 1993 I asked that you hold off until the
Dewitt application had been reviewed.
Mr. Cotterill and Mr. Goddard again have requested a zoning
change. Would you now please review this with the Planning Board
;inn give the Town Board your recommendation.
1. believe you were involved at the time this was zoned MA
and there were strong requests by this group to have it so
zoned.
Because of the sewer and promising possibility for water
this is an excellent MA area and the future of the Dryden tax
base lies with future 3.ndustri.al /commercial businesses in MA
zones.
Thank you for you
request.

Mr. Clyde Cotterill stated that Mr. Goddard had called him
this afternoon and regretted not being able to be present and
rlequested that he speak on behalf of Dryden Enterprise which was
• Incorporated some eight or ten years ago.
Mr. Clyde Cotterill indicated:
After selling a parcel of land to the Insurance Company they
were informed by the Town that it was necessary to
subdivide.
They have not sold a parcel of land since subdividing. The
taxes were $1,000.00 and now they are $8,000.00.
The sale /proceeds from the two parcels of land were put back
in to sewer and roads. The corporation has not taken one
penny out.
Two parties had approached to buy property for apartment
houses which are prohibited in an MA zone.

Mr. Robert Lowery stated the following:
He is the General Manager of Dryden Mutual. "I want to put
this in general context. These people have been friends of
mine all my life. I bought this land from them, Clyde was
president of our company when I came to work for him. I
brought this situation, S. R. DeWitt, before my Board of
Directors and decided it would devalue our building and our
future plans. Our future plans have been presented to the
Town Board, we may have 184 to 300 people by the year 2020.
We want to buy the adjacent 4.4 acres. We want to buy it
now and I have negotiated with this group for probably four
or five years. In the States infinite wisdom says you can't

there. If you took a drive to New Berlin and saw what
Preferred Mutual has done, or went to Edmonson these are
towns smaller then Dryden, and there are these huge
• insurance companies, we're the same thing.
We chose to be the loyal opposition, there were 650+ people
on petitions and we think we have recorded another 1,000
people who were ready to sign. We had well over 2,000
people in opposition."

Robert Lowery continued:
PB 7/15/93 PG. 5
"The B.R. DeWitt situation has gone away because they
haven't renewed the purchase offer, because they saw we were
not going to give in. But the situation here is still this
is a beautiful place for people to build. I would love to
have seen United Parcel, other places like that that are
more suitable. The cement plant would have been a great
thing, but we all, everyone thought it was in the wrong
location that's all. We are not opposed to B.R. DeWitt. It
was where it was and that was going to be devaluating to our
plant and also to our future plans, so we have to protect
ourselves. I I think we pay some 30 or 32,000 dollars a year
in taxes now and will be paying a lot more when we finish
with the construction of what we already have planed and
presented before, not this Board, I think before another
Board.
That land lays dormant, they came to me and said "what do
you think ?" I said we can't be in opposition to everything
and we won't be. We would like the right of refusal if they
want to put up a formaldehyde plant or something." "We had

Barbara Caldwell noted that one of the concerns at that time to
rezone it MA was the issue of Site Plan Review. The MA Zone at
present is the only Zone where Site Plan Review is required.
For non residential use adjacent to the Village a Site Plan
Review was important in order to consider all types of impacts
on the community.
The Poa.rd discussed the issues and process required for
applying for a permit in the "RD" zone.
PB 7/15/93 PG. 6
A development of over two acres would require a special permit.
M. Lavine noted that if this zone were changed, as it stands

B. Lavine noted that maybe the Board should consider that all RD
Zones permits require a special permit review and add that
requirement when this request is presented to the Town Board.
H. Slater was concerned that all single family dwellings would
then require a Special Permit when built in the RD Zone.
J. Lalley suggested that with the Special Permit the homeowner

is wrong because clearly the Town doesn't want the kind of
development that is allowed to be in an MA Zone to happen
there. The RD is probably the most consistent, not totally
consistent when I think of what we want to have happen in that
general vicinity. We have just recommended that an area
directly across the street be considered for "RD" so I think it
is consistent with our ..(conclusions)... and I don't want to
hold that particular action hostage. 1 think we have identified
a genuine concern on the Board's part that we want to convey as
a separate motion, maybe within the same letter."

Barbara Caldwell noted that one of the concerns at that time to
rezone it MA was the issue of Site Plan Review. The MA Zone at
present is the only Zone where Site Plan Review is required.
For non residential use adjacent to the Village a Site Plan
Review was important in order to consider all types of impacts
on the community.
The Board discussed the issues and process required for
applying for a permit in the "RD" zone.

now, where can someone like B.R. DeWitt go besides an MA Zone?

H. Slater was concerned that all single family dwellings would
then require a Special Permit when built in the RD Zone.
J. Lalley suggested that with the Special Permit the homeowner
would understand the implications of building in the RD Zone.
Looking where the RD Zones are now, would be reluctant at

J. Lalley stated: "I guess my preference is tonight in the
discussion we discovered what I think may be a weakness in the
current "RD" regulations however, I think to keep this "MA" Zone
is wrong because clearly the Town doesn't want the kind of
development that is allowed to be in an MA Zone to happen
there. The RD is probably the most consistent, not totally
consistent when I think of what we want to have happen in that
general vicinity. We have just recommended that an area
directly across the street be considered for "RD" so I think it
is consistent with our ..(conclusions)... and I don't want to
hold that particular action hostage. I think we have identified
a genuine concern on the Board's part that we want to convey as
a separate motion, maybe within the same letter."

Joseph Lalley moved that the Planning Board send a strong
recommendation, as strong as it can be, to the Town Board
that they consider having all actions permitted by "RD" be
subject to a Special Permit Review. Amend the RD Article 9
district regulations zone such that all uses in 901 and 902
require a Special Permit Review as specified in Article 13
- Special Permits.
Second Mitchell Lavine.
Discussion: H. Slater noted that in the RD Zone there hasn't
been a single family residence built there in some time. The
last home application did have a Special Permit Review.
