JOHN HYDE CONTINUED:

They had some (wetlands) at the airport that was replaced
• somewhere else, which was a joke (not opposed to the wetlands,
just coming out on Snyder Hill Road). Most of the people I've
talked to know that area has to be developed. It should be, but,
as others as well as myself have stated: "DON'T BRING IT OUT ON
SNYDER HILL ROAD" The Town of Ithaca doesn't want it, Eastern
Heights doesn't want it, we don't want it. This business of
going down the hill is nonsense, you're going to go the shortest
way you can to get where you are going, and that is up Snyder
Hill and down Quarry Road. There are roads that have gone
through. Besemer Hill is still there, Whitted Road went through
before and these excuses, ' we can't do it', that's the easy way
out. Sometimes people can think positive and find ways of doing
it.

RP.: Peregrine Hollow subdivision DEIS Comments
Dear Ns. Caldwell:
The Town of Ithaca Planning and Engineering Staff have reviewed the
DEIS dated June 1993 prepared for the Peregrine Hollow Subdivision in
the Town of Dryden and have prepared comments for the consideration
of the Town of Ithaca Planning Board. The Town of Ithaca Planning
Board will be reviewing the DEIS as an involved agency at the
December 7, 1993 Planning Board meeting and will be submitting an
official response to the Town of Dryden Planning Board acting as lead
agency for environmental review prior to the and of the comment
period on December 13, 1993.
The comments will focus on several areas of concern, including:
1. Stormwater Management because much of the project area is
located uphill of the Town of Ithaca and drainage flows
through Town Properties,
2. Traffic because Snyder Hill Road, the principal road serving
the site is currently an area of concern for the Town,
3. The impact on park and open space resources in the area,
4. water supply which utilizes Town of Ithaca infrastructure,
and
5. Sanitary sewage disposal which will also utilize Town of
Ithaca infrastructure.
If you
have
any
questions or need additional
information, please

lines has been determined a designated wetland?
RALPH VARN stated that had not been determined. They are only
dealing with phase one and will look at the issues in each phase
as they begin that part of the development. They have briefly
looked at the wetlands with the expert and it is not a problem

JOHN HYDE quested why anyone would take control of a piece of
land that looks landlocked and not have a good plan for access
• for a project if the Board doesn't approve it?
RALPH VARN agreed it was an interesting question. They bought
it because it has municipal services, it is a southern facing
slope, it is not farm land, and believes that the numbers given
based on the whole project for the traffic that is going to go
down Snyder Hill Road are correct. Snyder Hill could handle
many more cars then are being projected based on engineering.
We have been in business 13 years and have built about 55
houses. We are not going to finish this project. This project
is going to take 50 years before it is completed. The traffic
is going to come very slowly on the project and there will be
other improvements made on the road as the road gets traffic and
it is not fair to dump the traffic issue on this project. You
have to consider the phase the project is in and the time span
that it will take to complete. There may be no growth and this
project will be placed on hold. The positive things are that
people need nice places to live, it is close to Cornell, it is
close to shopping and services. It creates an interior road
that people can walk on. It can be a part of Town of Ithaca's
open space. We have left paths to connect the trails up from
Eastern Heights from the parks. We are trying to put a
community center in, it will create .jobs and tons of tax base
for the Town of Dryden. This is a good project. If you don't
want a project in this particular location you don't want a

I
PB 12 -2 -93 PG. 7
JOHN HYDE agreed there was no argument about that, we do need
the tax base, but was curious why they picked one that was
• landlocked.
NICE( NICASTRO of 378 Snyder Hill Road: Could the developer
describe the character of the houses in phase one?
RALPH VARN: Well it keeps changing but our company has been
developing for 13 years and our basic idea now is to build a
single model home starting at $150,000.00 and up to the
$200,000.00 range. They will be mostly two story, high energy ra�
effect built * "r+i-L�e st-w," with cedar siding. "-W ce —afar" has a
pilot project in Ithaca. The homes build are 25% move energy
efficient then the existing codes are. In Canada it was call an'
R2OOO house. You use high efficiency windows, High efficiency
entry doors, calk all the plates down, calk any holes where
wires run in, around all the receptacles, they come and do their
own inspection. All the homes will be gas, you experience 30 to
4O% savings in your utility bills. They have talked with banks,
if you show your utilities bills are less you can then afford
more mortgage payments.
SUSAN DEPELL: How many houses are you planning to build in
phase one?
RALPH VARN: 480
CANDICE CORNELL: If the access to the project is granted as

RALPH VARN: Felt all of the issues could be dealt with and they
have proposed with the Town of Dryden to reconstruct and do some
improvements on Snyder Hill Road from the Town line up to the
proposed development. Ralph stated that all of the numbers for
traffic on Snyder Hill Road have been generated assuming that
the project is complete and that 95% of all traffic goes down to,

JOSEPH LALLEY ON THE QUESTION OF THE 60 FOOT RIGHT -OF -WAY
STATED: at the time that was being worked through the Planning
Board received an indication from the Town Board at the time
that it was possible for that variance to go through in the
context of the overall project.
• NICK NICASTRO inquired if the property owners on Snyder Hill
Road would be responsible for any of the improvements, if
sidewalks and improvements were to be constructed?
R. VARN: The project does not have provisions for sidewalks and
there would not be any cost to the people on Snyder Hill Road,
The Cost would be shared by the Town of Dryden and the
developers.
M. GIANNELLA: OPEN SPACE.... normally when cluster housing is
done you take a certain space and put all the housing units
together and leave open space around them so that the people in
the cluster can enjoy that open space. If you look at the map
the Town Houses in phase two, there is no open space around the
clusters. The open space is wet lands and can't be enjoyed by
those people. It defeats the purpose of the cluster housing
proposal. All of these people have a little tinny sliver of
land and they are surrounded by single family homes.
L. FABBRONI: The cluster concept is one thing that is before
you and by no means is the open lands, "wetlands" or "unusable
land ". one of the largest wetlands is a nice pine grove between
phases two and three that you see on both the original and
overall mitigation plan. The other angular open space that you
see south of the NYSE&G right -of -way is quite a nice untouched
area since that farm pond was put in decades ago. Another open
• space would utilize and reclaim a small mined out area way in
the South East corner of the project. There is open space around
the Community center. We have pointed out many times the
density in this cluster is far under what the density is in the
Town of Ithaca Subdivided areas if you look at what has actually
developed there.
i
PB 12-2-93 PG. 9
M.
GIANNELLA:
I agree that the
overall
density
works
out. The
point
is that
the open space
in phase two
and three
is
next to
the
single housing.
At least
the cluster
housing
in
phase four

have open
space adjacent
to it but
not in

MR. HYDE inquired about the ownership of open space and who pays
the taxes on it?

VIRGINIA LANGHANS Town of Ithaca stated that there would be a
lot of families with children in this area and the developer is
not proposing any place for them to play but instead is making
trails over to the Town of Ithaca Park. Doesn't the developer
have an obligation to provide for his own?

RALPH VARNo The Town of Dryden doesn't accept parks. We have
• proposed to the Town of Ithaca in pass discussions that we would
do certain improvements in the Town of Ithaca Park in lieu of us
having our own park. We will be adding the open space to the
whole scenario, we have always felt in developing this project
that the Town of Ithaca Park was underutilized. I have been
there lots of times and it is not overrun with people. We
should not have a free ride and we are trying to address the
issue by talking to the Town of Ithaca. We were going to put up
soccer nets and develope a trail down through the park
connecting to our access and that was satisfactory. They have
already built the trail since our discussion with the Town and
now need to discuss alternatives with them. We are going to
leave a space available in the project for a park. In the
future if minds /policies change it can be developed into a
park. There is also a one and half acre park on Dove Drive.
