Home My WebLink About1993-10-25 - TB Special Board Meetimng 3 Budget Work Shop 10 - 25 - 93 It was reported to the Board , after the above changes to the tentative budget , that the percentage to be raised by taxes would be a negative 4 . 74 percent ( estimate ) . The tentative budget had been a plus of 5 . 46 percent ( estimate ) . Mr . Reitz reminded the Board that they had previously discussed that if the bottom line of the budget came in at 3 percent or less they would discuss employee wages again . The Tenative Budget became the Preliminary Budget and the clerk will advertise for the public hearing . So advised by the Board . Respectfully submitted , Marsha L . Georgia Ulysses Town Clerk ICI TOWN OF ULYSSES PLANNING BOARD MEETING TOWN HALL OCTOBER 25 , 1993 P RESENT : CHAIRMAN , DAVID TYLER ; MEMBERS : KRYS CALL , GERRI KEIL , BUDD STOVER , GREGG HOFFMIRE ; SECRETARY : ROXANNE SMITH . IIIThe Chairman called the meeting to order at 7 : 38 PM . The minutes from October 4 , 1993 were reviewed . The first page , third paragraph , " laundry mat " was corrected to " laundramat " . On page two , the first paragraph , the next to last sentence should state " If it is owner o ccupied , up to four family , you can get a Residential mortgage ; . . . " . Under the outline for Business , B1 should be defined as " low impact - commercial " . Budd made the motion for approval , Krys seconded . The minutes were approved unanimously . The Chairman brought several zoning ordinances in for the Members to peruse from surrounding areas . Newfield , Caroline and Enfield do not have one . The Town of Dryden has one that is the most similar to t he Town of Ulysses . The two that are the most up to date are the Village of Lansing and the Town of Ithaca . Lansing ' s has a low , medium , and high density Residential . They have a low and high traffic Commer - cial , Business and Technology District and a Research District ( the last two fit in with the Cornell / airport area ) . The Town of Ithaca has five Residentials , several Business Districts and light Industrial . They are far more sophisticated then the Town of Ulysses needs . David sug- gested that Lansing ' s would be a good example to start from . Krys pointed out in Lansing ' s Residential they specify lot sizes for areas t hat have sewer and areas that have septic . The Members started with page 4 , Article IV , Use Regulations , Section I , Residence Districts of the Town of Ulysses Zoning Ordinance . IIIKrys suggested for easier reading that they take the Lot Area and Yard Regulations from Article V ( lower page 5 and page 6 ) and state that in Article IV so the person reading it would not have to flip back and forth between the pages . Gerri pointed out that they look at " For P roperty Purchased on or After August 17 , 1977 " not the before 1977 . D avid said " we are now fifteen to sixteen years down the line from when this was revised . If a lot was purchased then , and there are still no improvements made ; I see no need to perpetuate it . " The Members agreed . David asked if there were any properties in the Town t hat were on municipal water and sewer . Waterburg Road , South Street and Alpha HOuse came to mind . Lansing mentions sewered and non - sewered areas . The changes made by the Members occur on page 6 , For Property P urchased on or after August 17 , 1977 , section a . " One or Two " will be replaced by " the number of " . . . families in the same structure . " 10 , 000 square feet for each additional family . . . " will be set aside for the t ime being . The Members discussed the uses allowed in Residential , page 4 . Item a , " Dwelling " remains ; a slight change was made to b . " Church or other . . . " . They stated that 10 % of the lot could be used for improve - ments . In item c " or public museum " will be dropped out for this category ( and will require a Special Permit ) . " Daycare Center " has been added to item c . In item d . it will state " Public park not conducted for profit , public playground , field houses or other accessory building , any concessions are subject to Special Permit approval . " " including necessary and desirable concessions , . . . " will be dropped . Items " e . , f . , g . and h . " will remain the same . Items i . , " hospital or sanatorium . . . " ; j . , " nursing or convalescent home . . . " ; and k . , " juvenile or adult foster home . . . " will be dropped from this category . Item 1 . " Rooming house or t ourist house . " will be changed to " Bed and Breakfast and Rooming House by Special Permit . " Item m . will remain the same . Item n . remains the ire TOWN OF ULYSSES 2 PLANNING BOARD MEETING TOWN HALL OCTOBER 25 , 1993 same but will have the following added on . " In deciding whether to grant a Special Permit the Board of Zoning Appeals shall consider t he following : 1 . Impact of proposed use on the neighborhood ( traffic burden , 111 demand on municipal resources , population density , character change , noise level greatly increased ) . 2 . As a condition for granting a Special Permit it shall not be unreasonable for the BZA to require certain conditions to be met to ameliorate the identified detrimental factors . Items o . , p . , will remain the same . Item p . 1 . " unit " will change to " pen " . Items p . 2 - 5 will remain . The last two paragraphs in Section 1 will need to be addressed at the next meeting . Gerri questioned what the difference between the Special Permit and the Variance was . David said that the Special Permit is a right as long as you meet reasonable conditions . The burden is on the BZA t o indicate why the Permit should not be granted . The Variance is arrived at by the mercy of the municipality . The burden is on the applicant to show the BZA why the Variance should be approved . Krys mentioned that she would like to see some provision to show how the S pecial Permit will be enforced . Sanatoriums , nursing homes , group homes will all be addressed at the next meeting , November 1 , 1993 . The meeting adjourned at 9 : 10 PM . • TOWN OF ULYSSES if ‘ BUDGET WORK SESSION October 25 , 1993 Present : Supervisor William Hogan ; Councilpeople Catherine Stover , Robert Weatherby , Thomas Reitz , Ben Curtis ; Bookkeeper Jeanne Vanderbilt ; Town Clerk Marsha Georgia . Mr . Reitz stated that he had checked with his records and also the Tompkins County Comptroller and Election Commissioner regarding election expenses . In 1992 we were billed for $ 15 , 550 . It now appears that we will only receive part of that bill as our i direct expenses . Also the 1993 expenses of $ 13 , 000 . we have encumbered ; most likely we will pay $ 3 , 000 . of that amount . I The Board discussed the salaries in the Justice accounts . After much discussion it was recommended that Justice 1 salary be increased by 3 % and that same amount ( 3 % of Justice 1 ) be added to Justice 2 . Making the salaries of Justice 1 a $ 9 , 388 . 97 and Justice 2 at $ 4393 . 47 . The full time clerk be _ increased by 3 % and the part time • clerk at 3 % also . Mrs . Georgia asked if the Board was looking at COST OF LIVING increases or are they dealing with MERIT increases . Mr . Hogan stated that it is strictly COST OF LIVING .. . This was questioned .
