who is also a member of the Toirn of Ithaca Plnnnin- Board replied that they
are now making plans to acquire and set aside areas for parks.
Mrs. Ds:-iixe asked what haol.ons if an individual sells lots and no area
is set aside for parks for nark -play -rounds. Mr. Desch (^3hairman of the Town
Plannin hoard) replied that n-"ter 4 lots are sold an owner must file sub-
division pl nq. In that plan it would be required that the owner show areas
which would be resisrved for ;-arks.
Mrs. De'41re stnted that she had heard that the County had glans to widen
Pine Tree Road. Mr. Kerr replied that the En•-ineer will consider the road
when the plans are drawn. K question was asked concerning whether the sewer
lines would interfere with the two different water lines now serving the nres.
The answer was no. .^dr. Phillips asked if the elan of using an pi' line is sufficient,
especially considering that there 14111 be further development, Mr. Dunlap
assured him that this size line is Sufficient.
The ruestion was asked conrrernin,� the aa,,proximate cost of laying lonnectiona
to homes and the estimate was .untwd as bein_ )2.50 to }3.00 per foot.
Mr. Phillips asked if there woa,ld he problems iri eytending the s-^.Ter line
to the Towr of Dryien line alone^ the Snyder Hil.1 Road,
.Tr. :•!oel Desch said that Cornell University ^4uull like to have their property
Talon,- Snyder hill iioad included in the District. A letter from John E. Burton
of Cornell University indicated the University's interact in having the :system
Include their property.
Supervisor Kerr said that the Irniversity could be included with the
understandin~ that they =say on the unit basis which has been ?stabliahed. Mr.
rr rhillips asked i" the unit cost to homeowners would increase if the line is
iiytended to the To•.+ri line along 3r.yler Fall Road. The ,plan would be turned back
to the en,T,ineers for development of new plans and costs.
.^.n area resident asked what the time table on this district would be and
Xr. Ferr ex;elain?d that a change in the distIict bnunrl-iries Jnulrl mean that
readvartising would hove to he done and after another public hearin.; the town
would wait 30 nays as required by law, since this district would he maniiated.
Tien application is mode to the Stat- Dept. of Audit and Control and to the
Str_te Health Department where plans are so7atirrres held up for months.
The question .gas asked ".then is a lot a lot?", and the answer was that
land is divided into lots when plot plans ar+s filed. Mr. John Marion asked If
a sewer charge would be bnsed on front foots-e or volume of water disbharg;ad into
the :sewer - referring to the dairy that Cornell University houses in his barn.
Mr. Philli2s asked if federal airs could be obtained to help finance the
district and Mr. Ygrr replied that federal aid could be obtained for sewer plants,
or interceptor sewers but not for trunk lines.
i•irs. DR'dire asked if property assessments woijld increase when sewer liners
nre installed and the answer was no.
One area resident ask• rl if a unit charge cot.il.+i be determined if thr? 'listrict
wns extended beyond this proposed cistrict kein considered and inorpa4ed in
size half way to the To,.rr line Moth on Snyder kill Road and on SlatervillA !toad;
and then if a unit charge could be determined if the district 4ere extended to
the town line nlon=• both roads.

of the formation of a district. tor. Phillips stated that the town should
consider the extension of the district all of the way to the town line on Snyder
Fill Road and on the Slaterville Road the population he conwidored in the extension
of lines there.
tor. John Marion asked whnt the experience of lots as dev>loped are, and if
all vacant lots in all distficts were congilred how long a lot would he on the
market befor>-4 it would eat itself u) in taxes. Mr. Kerr stated that he felt
the •.rotor and sewer extensions to an area woiild accelerate sales. H ^uestiorr
was asked whether or not :.gin individual )ro,Prtr owner ,.;ould be underwriting
larger land owners, and idt•. Kerr re,llied that the henefits come from the
devel apment o:" lar;;e i,lots and that overall layouts would b� eneoura rf d, but
that land owners have to file only when lots are neaded.

ROAD RIGHT OF AY tEyUlri a�.�CiTsr
n lett-r from the Town Plnnnin� Board y3bnirman, Mr. Noel Desch, asked the
Board to reconsider the dec-lion the;• made a+• the Mov, 4, 1.965 meetin requiring
a blanket 60 feet right of w€tv ror n11 future to.an roads. The Plnnnin�: 13onrd

permanent cul-de-nmcs. In such cases they feel a 60 foot ri;ht of way is
not necessary. In addition, the Planning Board feels that at times .h^,re

should be evaltueted at the time the sub-divisior is formed. No further
action was taken by the Town Board.
