Joint Planning Board & Town Board
Zoning Work Session
9/13/2000
Present: Planning Board Chairman George Kennedy, Planning Board Members Rick
Geiger and Rose Hilbert, Councilpeople Carolyn Duddleston and Andrew Hillman,
Planning/Zoning Clerk Karin Lanning.
No quorum was present for either board.
Those who were present began discussion at 7 : 50 p.m. Rose proposed that all board
members report their conceptual ideas for commercial zoning to the subcommittee on
Commercial Zoning for inclusion and consideration as they approach this portion of the
Zoning Ordinance. Members present noted their concerns and chief goals in the re-
working of the ordinance. Those present looked at the various commercial zones
throughout the Town and gave feedback on many of them. In general; zone growth was
encouraged where expansions would not be visible from main routes, reduction from C3
or C2 to a lower level of commercial was cited as a goal, as was the containment of
current businesses as they exist while encouraging development by zoning in more
desirable areas. Concerns were expressed for Jennings Creek, which runs through one of
the Town' s commercial districts as well as a flood plain surrounding that creek as well as
for the expansion of minimum frontage regulations. Cluster development around the
Village of Trumansburg and the Hamlet of Jacksonville was also noted as desirable by
those present. The assembled also looked specifically at various districts throughout the
Town.
Discussion wrapped up at 8 : 35 p.m.
