[17:27] [cough]

[17:28] >> Okay. Privilege of the floor. Mr. James

[17:31] Credicose.

[17:37] » Uh, good evening everybody. Uh, my name

[17:39] is James Credos. I'm with BME

[17:41] Associates. I'm here on behalf of

[17:43] Commercial Street Partners LLC. Um, a

[17:46] couple weeks ago, we submitted a request

[17:48] to this board as part of our Woods of

[17:50] Allentown project. Uh, that was in front

[17:52] of you guys last year for some PDD

[17:54] amendments. Um, we just started into the

[17:57] final section 2 through four subdivision

[18:00] application. We're going to be at the

[18:01] planning board tomorrow night and we

[18:03] were at the conservation board last

[18:04] Tuesday. Um, the request of this board

[18:07] is to abandon some existing easements.

[18:09] These were easements that were created

[18:11] back in 2007 as part of the original

[18:14] High Point uh business park development.

[18:17] Um when we first subdivided out the um

[18:20] lots at the bottom of the hill as well

[18:21] as office buildings 100, 200, 300, etc.

[18:25] Um what happened was there was a design

[18:28] at that time for some townhouse layouts

[18:30] and a lot of the easements were filed

[18:32] including u several conservation

[18:34] easements through the whole woods at

[18:35] Valenton property and some other

[18:37] easements. So the request uh to the town

[18:39] is to abandon seven easements. Uh four

[18:42] of them are conservation easements. Two

[18:44] are utility easements that were

[18:46] associated with some storm sewers and

[18:48] one is a water main easement again that

[18:50] was associated with a water main design.

[18:52] Um the water main easement and the uh

[18:55] two utility easements are shown on this.

[18:57] So that walk you through this. This is

[18:59] the just an existing aerial of the woods

[19:01] of Bontown property. The blue is our

[19:03] property limits. Um the easements we are

[19:05] looking to abandon this red easement up

[19:07] at the top here and this one here. These

[19:09] are the two utility easements that just

[19:10] had to do with some storm sewers and

[19:12] then there's also this red one that goes

[19:14] east west just a little bit here. This

[19:15] is the water main easement. Uh with the

[19:17] new layout and design, none of these are

[19:19] going to be applicable. They'll be

[19:20] conflicting with some building layouts.

[19:21] So those are just going to get

[19:22] abandoned. Um and then we'll recreate

[19:24] new access and utility easements based

[19:26] on the final design as we go through it.

[19:29] The four conservation easements that we

[19:31] are requesting to be abandoned are the

[19:33] four green blobs up at the northern part

[19:36] of the site. Uh basically what we're

[19:37] going to do is abandon those and then

[19:39] recreate the M in approximately the same

[19:41] spot. We need to move some of them, you

[19:44] know, 10 ft this way, 10 ft this way to

[19:45] kind of fit in with the new development,

[19:47] follow the new grading limits, tree

[19:49] lines, etc. Um but what we're going to

[19:51] do is get them recreated. I'll walk you

[19:54] through the rest of this quick. The

[19:55] yellow easements here are existing

[19:56] drainage easements to the town. Those

[19:58] are in place for the stormwater

[20:00] facilities that have been built and

[20:01] operating for probably 15 plus years

[20:03] now. And then the large uh lavender

[20:07] color here, these are the large existing

[20:09] conservation easements that exist

[20:10] between the loop of High Point Drive.

[20:12] Those are in a separate easement

[20:14] document. We're not going to be touching

[20:15] those at all and we're still kind of

[20:16] coordinating with uh the parks and recck

[20:18] department on them starting the trails

[20:20] through those loops. Um, if you wouldn't

[20:22] mind flipping to the next slide.

[20:30] Uh, so this is the proposed layout for

[20:31] the Woods of Valentine Town. As you can

[20:33] see, we've got, uh, the four green areas

[20:36] in approximately the same location, as

[20:37] well as one more additional green area

[20:39] over here just to make sure that these

[20:40] trees never get cleared out um, in the

[20:43] future. And then everything else here,

[20:45] this red, is all either drainage

[20:46] easements or combined access and utility

[20:49] easements. Um, so this is pretty

[20:50] straightforward request. Uh, the board

[20:52] already kind of, uh, completed the first

[20:55] step of this a couple years ago when we

[20:57] abandoned some of the existing access

[21:00] and utility easements in section one and

[21:02] those were recreated. This is something

[21:03] we've always kind of talked about and

[21:05] knew we had to do um, moving into this

[21:07] last step. Um, as I mentioned, we have

[21:09] about a 1% decrease in total area to the

[21:11] conservation easements. We did meet with

[21:13] the conservation board last Tuesday,

[21:15] review this in detail with them. The

[21:17] recommendation was to just abandon the

[21:20] conservation easements. All four of them

[21:22] are exist in one easement document.

[21:24] We're just going to NYX it and then we

[21:26] will recreate those easements with the

[21:28] new town standards site specific based

[21:30] on um some of the trail language and

[21:32] things that we'd like to incorporate

[21:34] into the easements up at the northern

[21:35] part of the site um to allow you know

[21:37] future development of trails. Uh the two

[21:40] utility easements exist in their own

[21:42] easement document. However, there is a

[21:44] separate easement in that one. So we

[21:45] would just look to remove the two

[21:47] easements from that and then the water

[21:48] main easement is a standalone easement

[21:50] to get rid of. So it's pretty

[21:52] straightforward. Basically next these

[21:54] will resubmit new easements that'll get

[21:56] reviewed as part of the final

[21:57] subdivision application and then when we

[21:59] go to um subdivide the lots for the

[22:02] sections two and four for the town

[22:03] houses, we'll create all those easements

[22:05] at the same time.

[22:07] I'd be happy to answer any other

[22:08] questions about the project if you guys

[22:09] are just curious for an update um or if

[22:11] you have questions specific to this.

[22:15] >> I think the uh I appreciate you spending

[22:18] time with the conservation board and I

[22:20] know um uh staff has put together a

[22:24] detailed overview of uh the questions

[22:27] that were asked of you uh during the

[22:29] course of that. upon my review certainly

[22:32] and again this is my opinion. I seems

[22:34] like it checks all the boxes for what I

[22:36] was looking for from um regarding this.

[22:39] So

[22:39] >> I thought it was pretty straightforward

[22:41] James I appreciate it and the comments

[22:43] from the conservation board as well.

[22:47] >> Anyone have any questions for James?

[22:50] >> I agree. uh conservation board noted

[22:53] they recommended consider for the

[22:55] northern boundary uh whether the

[22:57] boundary of the northern conservation

[22:58] unit can be simplified or straightened

[23:00] where feasible. Is that something you've

[23:02] done?

[23:03] >> Yep. We we will incorporate that.

[23:04] Basically what we were doing is we are

[23:06] following the existing um conservation

[23:08] ement along the side. It basically

[23:09] followed the wetland limits that we

[23:11] delineated a long time ago. So there's a

[23:13] lot of angle points in there as part of

[23:14] the town requirements. Every angle point

[23:16] we have to put a marker on. So, they

[23:18] were just asking if we can straighten

[23:20] that so they don't have to have 15

[23:22] markers all kind of in close proximity.

[23:23] So, we'll we'll take care of cleaning

[23:25] that up as part of this and it'll still

[23:27] basically follow the same limits with

[23:29] just less little angles.

[23:31] >> Okay.

[23:32] >> Any other questions for James?

[23:36] Okay. Well, good luck tomorrow night.

[23:38] Your town planning board meeting.

[23:40] >> Perfect. And then we'll just work with

[23:41] you guys to resolve this. Think

[23:43] >> you're good.

[23:44] >> Okay.

[23:45] >> Wonderful. Thank you all so much. Have a

[23:47] great night.

[23:47] >> Thank you.

[23:48] >> Okay.

[23:49] At this time, uh, under the this

[23:51] evening's agenda, public comment and

[23:53] concerns, opportunities for members of

[23:55] the public to address the town board.

[24:02] Okay. Moving to reports of town

[24:05] officials. Within your packet, board

[24:07] members, you had a report from the

[24:09] planning and building department,

[24:11] economic development.

[24:13] Yes, sir. I didn't want why don't you

[24:16] come to the podium so we could hear you.

[24:18] >> I'm sorry. I didn't want to skip over I

[24:20] requested privilege of the floor and I

[24:22] didn't want to skip over the public

[24:23] comment part if this is the time that I

[24:25] can address.

[24:26] >> Yes.

[24:27] Thank you. Good evening ladies and

[24:29] gentlemen of the Vicortown board. Thank

[24:31] you for the privilege of speaking to you

[24:32] tonight. I have a request and an

[24:35] opportunity.

[24:36] >> Excuse me sir. Can you just state your

[24:38] name and your address for the record,

[24:40] please?

[24:40] >> Sure. Uh my name is Edgar Brown. uh 3137

[24:44] Connor Road 47 in Canada.

[24:48] Uh tonight I'm speaking as a member of

[24:50] the Fingerlakes Justice Partnership.

[24:53] 250 years ago, Americans began securing

[24:56] their independence by enumerating and

[24:58] decrying the many injuries, abuses, and

[25:00] usurppations visited upon them by King

[25:03] George III and communicating them to

[25:05] each other through committees of

[25:08] correspondence.

[25:10] Today we feel the need to protest a

[25:12] king-like authoritarian president who

[25:14] thinks he is above the law and is again

[25:16] inflicting an onslaught of injuries,

[25:18] abuses, and intolerable acts upon the

[25:21] American people. We are calling upon you

[25:24] to issue resolutions of condemnation for

[25:26] the current administration in

[25:28] Washington. You can choose whichever

[25:30] issues you feel are the most important

[25:32] to highlight, but the goal is to foster

[25:35] robust public debate and for this

[25:37] governing body to go on public record

[25:39] with your position. Of course, a

[25:42] nonresponse is also a response. And the

[25:45] results of this regionwide initiative

[25:47] that began in June at the Ontario County

[25:50] Board of Supervisors meeting and is part

[25:52] of a broader national initiative in

[25:54] honor of America's 250th birthday will

[25:57] be published in local print and social

[25:59] media in time to help undecided voters.

[26:02] Rather than being divisive, we see this

[26:05] effort as merely illuminating divisions

[26:07] that already exist. We are offering this

[26:10] body an extraordinary opportunity to

[26:12] clarify your position within this

[26:14] current political environment and

[26:16] demonstrate complete transparency for

[26:18] your constituents. As the Declaration of

[26:21] Independence states, "Let the facts be

[26:23] submitted to a candid world." Of course,

[26:26] the original intent of this whole

[26:27] project was to formally condemn federal

[26:30] overreach, but if there's policy that

[26:32] you support, then your constituents need

[26:34] to know that as well. Again, the goal is

[26:36] robust public debate and complete

[26:38] transparency.

[26:40] I'll submit a copy of this request to

[26:42] the clerk, a draft resolution that

[26:44] you're welcome to modify, as well as

[26:46] copies of previous resolutions of

[26:48] condemnation that have been issued by

[26:49] other governing bodies and

[26:51] municipalities from across the country.

[26:53] So far, there have been 95 resolutions

[26:55] in 23 states. As far as I know, you

[26:58] could be the first in New York. I

[27:00] encourage you to explore the link that I

[27:02] have included for more information on

[27:05] the national initiative and the genesis

[27:06] of the project. I thank you for your

[27:09] time this evening and look forward to

[27:10] continuing dialogue. Thank you.

[27:12] >> Thank you, sir.

[27:13] >> Where can I leave this?

[27:15] >> Yep.

[27:17] >> Please.

[27:20] >> Thank you.

[27:23] >> Okay. I'll let just ask again if there's

[27:24] any members of the public care to

[27:26] address the town board.

[27:29] Okay, moving to the reports again. We

[27:31] have planning and building department in

[27:33] your packet, economic development,

[27:37] parks and recreation, which we'll get

[27:39] back to momentarily,

[27:41] highway, and finance report. Board

[27:44] members, any questions on those five.

[27:47] Okay, at this time um we had to shorten

[27:50] our work budget workshop prior to and

[27:53] Brian was ready to uh give us an

[27:56] overview regarding Dryer Road Park.

[28:00] Brian, if you would continue,

[28:04] we'd appreciate it.

[28:20] Thank you, sir.

[28:27] » Thank you.

[28:43] » Good evening. Brian Emerson, director of

[28:45] parks and recreation. Um where we left

[28:48] off with our um budget u proposal

[28:51] earlier tonight was at the end of the

[28:53] operating budget. So uh what I'll focus

[28:56] my comments on um for Supervisor Marin

[28:59] is just on our capital B parks

[29:02] facilities proposal. Um these are

[29:04] expenditures that are typically financed

[29:07] through your Capitol parks trust fund um

[29:10] which is now um set at $2,000 and it's

[29:13] achieved through um the purchase of a

[29:18] new home either by the owner of the home

[29:20] or the developer um absorbs that cost.

[29:23] So these are projects that are largely

[29:26] financed without an impact to taxes.

[29:29] That being said, in 2026, we completed a

[29:32] variety of capital projects um this

[29:34] year, including the construction of a

[29:36] new playground at Dryer Road Park. Uh

[29:39] the second phase of improvements to

[29:41] Harlem Fischer Park, including the

[29:43] landscaping with uh eight additional

[29:45] trees planted and over 100 shrubs um in

[29:48] the park. And um as of today, we just uh

[29:51] had our first day of construction on the

[29:53] new roofing system um at Mary Francis

[29:56] Bluebird Haven, which will be completed

[29:57] by the end of the year. So that will be

[30:00] our um second to last capital project.

[30:03] Um, as the board is also aware, um,

[30:05] originally this year we were budgeted in

[30:07] a capital budget to, um, construct a

[30:10] nine-hole disc golf course, um, on the

[30:13] land known as, um, currently under unde

[30:15] undeveloped land known as Paparon Park.

[30:18] Um, in late spring, um, our park and

[30:20] wreck advisory committee um, in

[30:22] cooperation with a town board asked that

[30:25] we look at another location in our park

[30:27] system for um, a disc golf course. So it

[30:30] might be an 18hole disc golf course,

[30:32] might involve some wooded portions of

[30:34] the dis disc golf course um as well as

[30:37] open meadow. Um we've had one sitewalk

[30:41] um to date of the Fischer Park project.

[30:44] Um the group included myself um J

[30:47] Councilman Tip uh woman Typton uh Dave

[30:51] Cop from the Rochester District um disc

[30:55] golf association. um Ed Martin, a

[30:57] resident and stakeholder, and Dirk

[30:59] Andress, who's with me here tonight, the

[31:01] chair of um our parks and recreation

[31:03] citizen advisory committee, wasn't able

[31:05] to make that, but he's integrally

[31:06] involved with the disc golf course

[31:09] project. I anticipate um having a site

[31:12] design for an 18hole disc golf course um

[31:16] by the end of this week. Um and um uh

[31:20] should the project move forward, I'll be

[31:22] meeting with some additional residents

[31:24] um in Fischer area. I've already met met

[31:26] with two of four um two two thus far.

[31:31] I'm anticipating meeting with four other

[31:34] um uh resident um residents that are on

[31:37] the old Dutch roadside um to give due

[31:40] diligence um getting their feedback for

[31:42] the project. And um if all goes well,

[31:45] I'll have a resolution at uh one of your

[31:48] September meetings for the purchase of

[31:51] um the disc golf baskets which largely

[31:54] comprise um that disc golf course. And

[31:56] that'll bring to close our capital

[31:58] projects for this year. Moving into next

[32:01] year, as you're well aware, the the

[32:04] parks and recreation uh citizen advisory

[32:06] committee is a stakeholder group that is

[32:09] works closely with the department as an

[32:11] advocate for capital projects like I I

[32:14] will share with you tonight. Um we are

[32:16] proposing as a department two capital

[32:18] projects in 2027. Uh the first of which

[32:23] is a $137,000

[32:25] project involving the repaving of the

[32:28] park road and primary parking area at

[32:32] Victor Municipal Park. Um that park road

[32:35] was originally constructed in 2008. Um

[32:39] it was uh constructed um just prior to

[32:42] the park opening in 2010 to facilitate

[32:45] construction when we um installed the

[32:48] park entrance road. Um it was uh

[32:52] discussed with the town board of paving

[32:54] it or chip sealing it um from a cost um

[32:58] standpoint because we were going be

[33:00] committed to a variety of other elements

[33:02] within that park um including a

[33:04] playground in the first phase, a picnic

[33:06] shelter, the fishing pond. Um the board

[33:10] at that time chose to instead of pave it

[33:12] with asphalt chose to um do what's

[33:15] called a double chip seal application.

[33:17] It's a highcapacity park as you all

[33:19] know. Um si additional phases have been

[33:23] built. Um since the park was opened in

[33:25] 2010 and 2012 we built um a year-round

[33:30] lodge there with permanent bathrooms. Um

[33:33] subsequent to that we've built our um

[33:36] special events amphitheater and

[33:37] bandshell to that park. So it gets a lot

[33:39] of use. Um and over the years the road

[33:42] has become in disrepair over the past

[33:44] decade and a half. Um it's uh very flat

[33:48] even though that there's um drainage um

[33:50] associated with that and several storm

[33:52] water ponds that carry water um off that road. Um the surrounding

[33:59] area is a lot of wetlands. There's a lot

[34:02] there's a subdivision that was also

[34:04] built after the park was built and it's

[34:07] time that we should look at addressing

[34:10] um some of the challenges with the

[34:11] potholes in that road. So, um, we're

[34:14] proposing a project to repave the park

[34:18] road.

[34:19] Any questions about, um, that proposed

[34:22] project?

[34:24] We just propose paving the road and then

[34:27] the main parking area. We're not

[34:29] proposing paving the entire 200 um bar

[34:34] parking area because largely, if you

[34:37] recall during the ARPA funding, we um

[34:40] added lights, LED lights to that parking

[34:43] lot. We added cameras to that parking

[34:45] lot and then we also um put an ancillary

[34:48] seasonal parking lot that is um gravel,

[34:52] if you will. It has some drainage in.

[34:54] There's 4in pipe in there. There's some

[34:55] drainage. There's no catch basins in

[34:57] there, but that's largely to support

[35:00] special events like our Thursday night

[35:02] concert series. Um, we have a road race

[35:04] that we host in January that exceeds the

[35:08] capacity of the formal parking area.

[35:10] We're just proposing um paving the

[35:13] entrance road um out to the out out to

[35:16] the park entrance where it splits off

[35:18] from um Doorchester Park subdivision and

[35:21] then the main parking area. Ryan, is

[35:23] there a was it considered of just the

[35:25] lower cost of having our highway

[35:27] department do some general repair and a

[35:29] new a new chip ceiling there, or is it

[35:30] just because of the the infrastructure

[35:32] of that surface is so worn that it

[35:35] requires a full replacement?

[35:36] >> We've we've wedged in there with the

[35:38] department. We've patched potholes um

[35:41] with there and we've done a like a

[35:43] wedging application, I would call it, um

[35:45] several times. Um but um it's not

[35:51] sustainable. I would say it's it it's

[35:54] not going to serve you very well. It's

[35:56] going to continue to disintegrate.

[35:59] Um and

[36:01] uh the staff asked that we look at that

[36:03] in in an upcoming capital budget cycle.

[36:06] because we did look at it with Labella

[36:09] several years ago and the cost to do

[36:12] that was over $700,000.

[36:16] Um it involved a lot more additional

[36:18] drainage. It involved a different type

[36:19] of asphalt application that we're

[36:22] proposing. Um it was right on the heels

[36:25] of doing the dryer road park parking

[36:27] lot. Um, and it had uh an asphalt um and

[36:33] glass sheeting um rolled out onto the

[36:37] road. Um but the cost was insurmountable

[36:42] at that time with us being already under

[36:44] construction in the first phase of

[36:46] Harlem Fisher Park, anticipating a

[36:48] second phase of Harlem Fisher Park and

[36:51] then other future upgrades. We can

[36:53] certainly look at we could certainly

[36:55] look at um uh a more enhanced project,

[37:00] but it I don't think the cost is going

[37:01] to come down. I think our price includes

[37:04] the the highway department aiding us in

[37:07] hauling material for this project, but

[37:10] we would still have to buy asphalt and

[37:12] rent a paver and an operator to hook on

[37:15] to essentially.

[37:18] >> If that answers you.

[37:19] >> Yes. Thank you.

[37:19] >> You got it.

[37:21] Um the other project the advisory

[37:23] committee and I are proposing is um uh

[37:27] creating an asphalt pump track and a

[37:29] bicycle playground for Dryro Park as

[37:32] depicted uh in a similar project in the

[37:34] photos. Um to date we've built three

[37:37] dirt pump tracks at Dry Road Park. Um

[37:42] it's not the most um appealing feature

[37:45] of that park, especially now with the

[37:48] new playground. um the pump tracks uh

[37:51] for bicycles and it's lot it's heavily

[37:54] populated um by toddlers by preschoolers

[37:58] that so they can be in eyesight of the

[38:00] parking lot where their parents are or a

[38:02] sibling on the on the playground. Um

[38:05] we've done three dirt ones, one better

[38:07] than the next. Um, the last one we did,

[38:10] we hired a professional design company

[38:12] to come in and design a dirt pump track.

[38:15] And we watch the wind go down the road

[38:18] and through the trees, and eventually

[38:22] the dirt just dissipates.

[38:24] Um, and we've got a new playground

[38:27] there. We've made major modifications to

[38:30] the trail system to make the existing

[38:32] trails in there more relevant. um given

[38:35] the traffic that that park use. We've

[38:37] got our second box rink in there with

[38:40] new turf and then we have the pump

[38:43] track. And so the committee and I felt

[38:46] that this was the most shovel ready

[38:48] project to look into the near term in

[38:51] weighing a variety of different other

[38:53] projects that the board might be

[38:55] considering and it's been discussed over

[38:57] the past year. Um, we anticipate there

[39:00] being needing a some significant outside

[39:04] fundraising as well. We have met um with

[39:08] our um with Genesee Regional Off-Road

[39:10] Cyclist and they're interested in

[39:12] helping to fund uh offset some of the

[39:16] design costs. The design costs are can

[39:18] be anywhere from 10 to 14,000. It can be

[39:20] a phased project. Um essentially the

[39:23] pump track would uh grow in size and

[39:26] instead of it being dirt rollers in

[39:28] there um it would be asphalt

[39:31] be easier um to use year round and then

[39:35] the concept of a bicycle playground. the advisory committee looked at

[39:39] possibly making um improvements to our

[39:42] existing jump lines, but I think Drew

[39:45] was in the meeting and we felt that like

[39:47] approaching the lowest common

[39:49] denominator of bicyclist that utilizes

[39:51] that park. A bicycle playground in

[39:54] conjunction with an asphalt pump track

[39:56] will get a lot more use than jump lines

[39:58] which create higher higher uh levels of

[40:01] skill, higher higher levels of technical

[40:04] riding ability. So, we obtained um a

[40:07] quote from the American Ramp Company um

[40:11] who does this all across the country. Um

[40:13] they're just finished a project in

[40:15] Saratoga Springs um on a new asphalt

[40:18] pump track in that climate because they

[40:20] had a dirt pump track that they also saw

[40:22] not being able to substain, you know,

[40:26] sustain the environment. I mean, we've

[40:28] covered the pump track to keep the dirt

[40:30] from um it's it's it's a tedious event

[40:34] that we don't even can't even do. And so the group feels that that this is

[40:40] um an existing need that could be

[40:42] realized um immediately that could be

[40:45] partnered with um a local nonprofit that

[40:49] would be a benefit would be of great use

[40:52] um in this area. Um, and it would be a

[40:55] nice addition to the park.

[40:58] So, um, the example, um, that I handed

[41:01] out to you is is of an asphalt pump

[41:03] track with a bicycle playground. And the

[41:06] bicycle playground more or less caters

[41:08] to, um, preschoolers on on no pedal tot

[41:13] bikes where they're at ground level.

[41:15] They can ride through a variety of

[41:17] different apparatus.

[41:19] The park is known for its trail system

[41:21] and and and that's why we brought that

[41:23] theme out in our in the playground. Uh

[41:26] but this is something that uh the

[41:29] advisory committee and I are

[41:30] recommending you consider in an upcoming

[41:32] budget cycle.

[41:34] >> It certainly certainly would attract I

[41:36] think uh the older teen, you know, I

[41:38] mean for the challenges. I mean I like

[41:40] the idea. I don't think I'll be using it

[41:42] but uh you know I definitely like the

[41:44] idea. I I definitely like the idea of it

[41:46] because I think uh like you say, they've

[41:48] been coming out there for years, you

[41:50] know, uh riding that trail as it is, but

[41:53] there's some pretty challenging things

[41:55] that you could put out there for the

[41:56] older kids.

[41:58] >> Looking singularly at this project is

[42:01] excellent and I I I like it. My only

[42:03] concern is is that it offsets funding

[42:07] and pushes back development at that

[42:09] paparone park which we I think that

[42:11] there are some especially with the

[42:12] potential clover clover leaf pickle ball

[42:14] courts uh splash pad you know I think my

[42:18] personal opinion is I I would love to

[42:20] get that going. So my only concern I

[42:22] guess inherently would be that this

[42:24] offset some available funding timelines

[42:26] for maybe that starting that project. So

[42:28] I don't know if that's been discussed a

[42:30] little bit further. I think the the

[42:32] group did discuss that um with me when

[42:35] putting this budget together as well as

[42:37] tonight and the committee feels that

[42:41] there's a concern that that's going to

[42:42] be so far down the line that their

[42:46] families and the participants that they

[42:49] represent will never see that. So I

[42:52] think if

[42:53] >> see the baseball fields

[42:54] >> see that progress next year. I think if the advisory committee felt and Durk

[43:00] is here and he can communicate um for

[43:03] himself, but I think if the advisory

[43:05] committee feel felt that that project

[43:10] was going to go that they would not they

[43:13] would see the needs of the many versus

[43:15] just dry road park again. But I feel

[43:18] that

[43:20] I won't speak for them, but what I'm

[43:23] hearing from them is that they want to

[43:26] realize things

[43:28] in in the not too distant future. And

[43:31] they feel that like there's so many

[43:33] variables associated with the

[43:34] development of that park that's beyond

[43:37] their existing control that they're

[43:40] concerned that it's going to be pushed

[43:42] off for three to five years. If if we

[43:46] went back to them and said, "Hey, Brian,

[43:49] get going on Seeker. Brian, get going

[43:52] with Labella on a master plan,

[43:55] construction cost estimates, a

[43:57] schedule."

[43:58] Then then I think that we're in a good

[44:01] discussion point to maybe say we'd love

[44:04] to do the pump track, but the current

[44:06] feeling is that it might be several

[44:09] years before Paparon has progressed.

[44:13] I don't necessarily agree with that, but

[44:16] I'm I'm with Drew a little bit

[44:18] >> and I'm only I'm speaking for my own

[44:20] position, but if there's a way to get

[44:22] that seeker going and and really get

[44:23] working on I know we have some initial

[44:25] label plans that they've done a couple

[44:27] initial drawings.

[44:29] >> Sure.

[44:31] >> Next year I would I would love

[44:32] personally I would love to get moving on

[44:34] that. But are we looking at a phased in

[44:37] approach for Paparon? Like just doing

[44:40] the clovers and then the year after, you

[44:43] know, we're spending two years designing

[44:44] a splash pad and a year designing pickle

[44:48] ball court. Is that maybe that's not a

[44:51] question for you, Brian. Maybe that's a

[44:52] question for the board. Is that what

[44:53] we're looking at at Paparon? Maybe

[44:55] that's the Is that the concern? I Sorry,

[44:58] I don't know who I'm directing my

[44:59] question to.

[44:59] >> I mean that you're talking about a

[45:01] multi-million dollar project.

[45:02] >> Okay. for pepperon.

[45:04] >> Yeah. And I think I think it would have

[45:06] to be phased in.

[45:07] >> What's that?

[45:07] >> I think it would Pepperon would have to

[45:09] be a phased approach and I personally

[45:11] starting with that clover leaf and

[45:13] getting that underway because we have

[45:14] had some good discussions with Little

[45:15] League and there's some sounds like

[45:17] there's certainly some buy in there. So

[45:19] I think Alexis I think it would have to

[45:20] be a multi multi-year phased in project

[45:22] but I I would like to start phase one

[45:25] >> and the phase one would be the clover

[45:27] leaves.

[45:27] >> Well, that's just my opinion. Okay.

[45:29] >> Yeah. Well,

[45:30] >> have we moved at all on that? We We

[45:33] haven't really, have we, Jack? We

[45:34] haven't really had much discussion on

[45:36] that, have we?

[45:37] >> No. The um the U president did send an

[45:41] email today that he's back from

[45:42] traveling and open to that um

[45:46] conversation.

[45:46] >> I think the reason that was delayed uh

[45:49] was when we were interested in some of

[45:50] that property and we're thinking about,

[45:52] you know, a town facility over the

[45:54] highway facility over there and that

[45:55] kind of has gone to the wayside for an

[45:58] opportunity, you know. So now it's, you

[46:00] know, it's to utilize the the parkland

[46:02] that we have over there. So

[46:05] >> I mean feedback for me, Brian, would be

[46:07] I think that the drier road plans would

[46:10] be fantastic. It would be a great

[46:11] addition to our resources over there. I

[46:14] think I would I would hope that we could

[46:16] do that in conjunction with starting the

[46:18] process at Paperone and not allowing

[46:21] this project at drier to prohibit us

[46:23] from really getting [clears throat]

[46:24] moving on that because I would I would

[46:25] really like to see those ball fields

[46:27] coming in.

[46:30] Yeah, I think you know we we've got

[46:32] interest in the ball fields as far as

[46:34] funding already and you know I think

[46:38] what you were putting out there Brian

[46:40] was this at the drier road park. This is

[46:43] more of like lowhanging fruit like we

[46:45] can get going on it semi right away. I

[46:49] think it would really be dependent on um

[46:52] you know the private funders we can find

[46:53] for it because if we can do both that

[46:56] would be ideal at least start phase one

[46:59] of paparone how we determine it to be

[47:03] but I I I support this

[47:07] >> money money

[47:08] >> also I mean one of the board one thing

[47:10] that the board can consider as you

[47:12] debate the budget moving forward the

[47:15] next six to eight weeks is you'll

[47:17] probably have a good idea uh in the next

[47:20] 6 to8 weeks if you got the

[47:21] million-dollar grant from the state for

[47:23] the New York Place application that that

[47:27] um Emily and I worked on um that you're

[47:29] familiar with and that maybe gives you

[47:32] either a decision to go forward with a

[47:35] little bit of drier and a little bit of

[47:36] paparone or more progressive paparone

[47:39] quicker or progress dryer quicker. It's

[47:42] just that um the committee looked at a

[47:45] variety of different things and they're

[47:48] trying to look at shovel ready projects

[47:52] and

[47:54] I think

[47:56] is can we move without changing the

[47:58] entrance road? I mean there's a lot

[48:00] >> that I mean we've we talked a little

[48:02] league in February and March.

[48:04] >> Yep. I'm here, you know, and so we gota,

[48:08] you know, there's other steps that need

[48:10] I mean that that property sits a foot

[48:12] below the level of the road. So there's

[48:14] a lot of drainage and a lot of site work

[48:17] that needs to be done to make it and and

[48:21] Lella can do that, but

[48:25] you know, I think that the committee I'm

[48:27] sorry, Dirk, go ahead.

[48:28] >> Oh, no. I was just going to everybody

[48:30] Dirk Andress, uh, chair of the CAC. I

[48:32] just want to echo everything that Brian

[48:34] said. So, we looked at all the potential

[48:35] projects. We talked about it as a

[48:37] committee and with the Grace Road idea,

[48:40] we've had the opportunity to do

[48:41] something on that land since 2006. So,

[48:44] that's two generations that's lost that

[48:46] we lost the opportunity to benefit.

[48:47] Yeah. And so, when we looked at the

[48:49] potential projects, we thought drier was

[48:51] something that was shovel ready. We

[48:53] already have a quote. We already have

[48:54] well, we have preliminary designs, but

[48:56] we have funding uh from Grock and others

[48:59] that would help us get to that design

[49:00] stage. And once we have that picture, we

[49:03] can apply for grants which will even

[49:04] help us more. So we thought that was

[49:06] further down the road than when we're

[49:08] still brainstorming usage of a

[49:11] multi-million dollar project that when

[49:13] you add in the utilities, the drainage,

[49:15] the potential Anthony road signal and

[49:19] the complexity, 2027 did not seem

[49:22] feasible.

[49:23] That's what that's what we determined.

[49:31] With that, that's the information I have

[49:33] to share with you tonight. I certainly

[49:34] can answer more questions as you work

[49:36] yourself through the budget process over

[49:40] the next um couple months. Um I don't

[49:43] think the commitment from Jennese

[49:45] regional psych cyclist will go away. Um

[49:49] uh and certainly if um we can get

[49:53] something going with little league um

[49:56] quickly then we can have some ideas of

[50:00] budgets from Labella and

[50:02] know we can take action in 27.

[50:06] >> Very good.

[50:07] >> More questions for me?

[50:08] >> Thank you Brian.

[50:08] >> Thanks.

[50:09] >> Thank you. Appreciate your time.

[50:10] >> Thank you Dirk.

[50:11] >> Thanks Dirk.

[50:14] Okay.

[50:22] Town board members, you have any

[50:24] committees [clears throat] you'd care to

[50:25] report on at this time?

[50:28] >> No, but I know prior to the board

[50:30] meeting starting, we were talking

[50:32] discussing Victor hiking trails. Do we

[50:34] need to continue that discussion with

[50:37] Ryan or hiking on the budget?

[50:40] No. Okay.

[50:44] Raymond, is that was there more to be

[50:46] added?

[50:47] >> I didn't mean to steal the mic from you.

[50:55] The only item in the operating budget

[50:57] related to trails that I didn't get to u

[50:59] beyond the um a formal agreement with

[51:02] Victor hiking trails is that right now

[51:05] Victor hiking trails has several

[51:08] um trail systems that are on revocable

[51:10] permit.

[51:12] And so it's a an agreement um with the

[51:15] private land owner and Victor hiking

[51:17] trails um for the system. I'll give you

[51:20] examples. Dominique Trail. There's a

[51:22] trail that runs on the Dominy, former

[51:24] Dominique property between the Auburn

[51:26] and Lehi trails, which are public trails

[51:29] owned by the town or long-term

[51:31] easements. So, that's on a revocable

[51:33] permit that the land owner can revoke,

[51:35] meaning the trail goes away at their

[51:38] discretion. There's other ex there's

[51:40] several other examples. There's a trail

[51:42] that runs from the Stonington Ridge

[51:45] subdivision up to Dryer Road Park and

[51:48] there's three revocable permits that

[51:49] Victor Hiking Trails has um for that

[51:53] trail. So, it's not right now other than

[51:55] that permit to VHT, it's not permanently

[51:59] in in the public domain like many of our

[52:01] other trails where we got either a trail

[52:05] easement

[52:07] from our Gene when we constructed the

[52:08] Auburn Trail and just recently updated

[52:10] or it comes through the planning process

[52:14] like with James that was here earlier

[52:16] and BME and and Christa and we get a

[52:19] trail easement. So these can be revoked.

[52:24] Helen's Helen's Way trail up in uh

[52:26] Village on the Park. So with Victor

[52:29] hiking trails, we looked at the variety

[52:32] of different revocable permits that we

[52:33] current that they currently have that

[52:36] could go away but are highly valued

[52:38] trails because they have either

[52:40] colllocated with a town park, they're

[52:42] connected to existing townowned trails.

[52:47] Um and so we wanted to start setting

[52:49] some goals of changing these revocable

[52:53] permits into permanent easements so they

[52:55] stay in the public domain. Now typically

[52:58] these are lowcost easements. Okay. The

[53:02] cost is in um usually you have to get a

[53:06] survey. So you know have to understand

[53:09] the meats and bounds. You are typically

[53:11] going to do a valuation of it. So you do

[53:13] some um research. You can hire uh a

[53:17] person that has a real estate license,

[53:18] your attorney to get comps of similar

[53:22] sections. And then there's a legal

[53:25] agreement that's created.

[53:27] It would be it would be good in in next

[53:29] year. I put $12,000 in the operating

[53:32] budget to start progressing these some

[53:34] of these high priority easements so they

[53:37] can stay within the public domain.

[53:40] Okay? so that then not only can they be

[53:44] used by our residents um to enjoy um a

[53:47] walk in the woods but then public funds

[53:50] can also be utilized for their ongoing

[53:52] maintenance and care and management. So

[53:56] because we have several of them and

[53:58] because of the concern of our department

[54:02] as well as the executive board of Victor

[54:04] hiking trails is that our residents and

[54:07] our visitors just look at it as a trail.

[54:10] They just want to use the trail. They

[54:11] want to get from point A to point B or

[54:13] they want to experience nature and a

[54:15] walk in the woods and they don't think

[54:18] who owns the property unless the

[54:20] property is not allowed to be used

[54:22] during hunting season where they have

[54:23] some revocable permits. So when then it

[54:26] stops getting maintained when it goes

[54:28] back reverts back to the private land

[54:30] owner because right now these folks over

[54:33] here to my right are maintaining it.

[54:35] Okay. So our goal is just to do what we

[54:38] had done with the Auburn Trail Corridor

[54:42] is acquire those easements so it then

[54:45] stays in the public domain for its

[54:48] period of probable usefulness. So we'd

[54:51] like to progress some of those.

[54:55] Brian, do we have a map um of the town

[54:59] and including the village of all of the

[55:01] trails highlighting who owns them and

[55:04] who maintains them? We have we have a

[55:07] map of town and village owned trails.

[55:09] >> Okay.

[55:10] >> Um Victor hiking trails has a map system

[55:13] that combines the two I believe that has

[55:15] both basically lands that are trails

[55:18] within the town, trails within the

[55:20] village plus Victor hiking trails

[55:23] has those that are on revotable permit.

[55:27] >> I if I give you guys my card, would you

[55:29] mind sending it to me?

[55:32] >> Is it okay? I will. Thank you. And

[55:34] there's some maps in your in your um

[55:36] those maps that I put um show where the

[55:41] existing trails are that are that are on

[55:44] some of the high priority easements that

[55:47] we should progress as a community.

[55:50] So it's large it's largely the legal

[55:53] work and the um um paperwork associated

[55:57] with

[55:59] obtaining these. These typically aren't

[56:01] highcost easements.

[56:04] um the value is is pretty low because

[56:06] it's typically not developable land

[56:08] within that parcel

[56:12] >> and would we do that through our town

[56:14] attorney or we would fund Victor hiking

[56:16] trails to do that work on their own?

[56:19] >> I would say you would do it as a town.

[56:21] Someone needs to manage

[56:23] >> and and move those along. Someone needs

[56:25] to work with with the town attorney,

[56:29] work with the realtor, work with the um

[56:32] survey crew, and then meet with the land

[56:34] owner if there's any negotiation back

[56:37] and forth.

[56:38] >> Okay.

[56:38] >> And then the transfer once the once the

[56:41] easement once it's acquired, then it

[56:43] goes into management and maintenance.

[56:48] >> Thank you.

[56:48] >> You're welcome. Any other questions?

[56:53] » Thanks.

[56:53] >> Thank you.

[56:57] No board members. Uh
