CORNELIUS PROPOSAL
Bernard Cornelius: Presented some preliminary sketch plans for approximately 50 acres
of land on Yellow Barn Road. Plans included a road design that will
allow for future access.
D. Weinstein: Questioned the distance of State Land from the proposed project
site.
H. Slater: State Land is on the East Side of Yellow Barn Road whereas the
proposed project site is on the West side.
B. Cornelius: Each lot would be approximately 2 acres.
H. Slater: Each lot will have appropriate road frontage. The County Health
Department determines subdivision as five (5) lots developed within
three (3) years and will therefore not view this project as
subdivision. They will be treated as individual lots. If the project
progresses within five years the project owner will be held
responsible for State conformance unless the lots are sold within the
year.
B. Cornelius: Project will require sand filters. Soil consists of a large amount of
clay. Drainage problems are not anticipated due to the slope of the
land. A culvert and ditch are already in place.
H. Slater: Plat should include contours for the road and 200 foot circles. Also
should establish that drainage is not an issue. A Health Department
Disclaimer is necessary as well.

COMPREFIENSIVE PLAN
State of the Town Report:
George Frantz discussed the State of the Town report with the Board and the comprehensive
plan in general. Please see State of Town Report for complete details. A. summary of some
questions and concerns raised are as follows:
The Board asked George to determine what amount of the 90% of undeveloped land that is
actually available for future growth and development in each area. Now much of that available
land are wetlands, Cornell lands, state forests, etc.?
Board members raised concerns about the amount of land available for recreation in Dryden,
particularly for youth sports. The town has only about 15 total acres available for it's residents.
Heavy traffic and truck traffic is also a concern for the Ellis Hollow and Turkey Hill Road
areas. Public transportation available in Dryden is very adequate. What are the criteria for
identifying potential lands around Dryden for recreational purposes?
The meeting was adjourned at 9:47 P.M. Next Scheduled meeting December 20, 2001
