This was seconded by Ms. Weatherby and passed unanimously. Ms. Olson asked whether anyone online or in person wished to address the board. No one responded. She noted that the local law is related to public noticing for Board of Zoning Appeals projects- signs will be required on applicant properties. 2 Mr. Goldman moved to close the hearing at 7:04pm. This was seconded by Ms. Weatherby and passed unanimously. PUBLIC HEARING: A LOCAL LAW TO AMEND THE ZONING CODE- PARK/REC ZONE Ms. Olson explained that this local law would allow parks in the Park/Recreation Zone to be listed as an allowed use. Currently, a special permit is needed for parks. Mr. Boggs moved to open the hearing at 7:05pm. This was seconded by Ms. Weatherby and passed unanimously. Mr. Klankowski asked how the board was planning to deal with the USGS intermittent stream in the Salo Drive/Habitat parcel. He said that there are discrepancies between GIS and USGS maps that create issues for determining setbacks, etc. The clerk noted that two comments were received, both in favor of the local law. (See attached). Mr. Boggs moved to close the hearing at 7:09pm. This was seconded by Ms. Bouchard and passed unanimously. DISCUSSION: Mr. Goldman asked Mr. Klankowski to clarify the relationship between the streams and the P/R law change. Mr. Klankowski said that the town’s zoning code has not authorized usage of the GIS stream definitions so it doesn’t seem as if we can require setbacks according to that map. Mr. Klankowski recommends that the Town Planning Dept. clearly identify whether the streams are USGS or GIS. Ms. Olson suggested that the Planning Board talk to legal counsel to see what can/should be done. MUNICIPAL BOARD & STAFF REPORTS & ANNOUNCEMENTS: Ms. Liddle said that a 2nd round of water testing was done by the NYS Dept. of Health. Results are forthcoming. The committee will have a first draft of the water protection plan soon. OLD BUSINESS: 2025 Budget: Ms. Taetzsch shared updates to the budget since the last meeting. She noted that the following with regards to the B Fund (town outside village): • Can only use sales tax in this fund • 2025 appropriations exceed the Fund Balance policy • More money has been added for enforcement-related costs (legal and staffing) and the town will likely not be able to collect any revenue (fines, etc.) to offset this • Funds requested for additional water testing • New expense for a GEIS (generic environmental impact study) to do along with the Comprehensive Plan update Mr. Tygesen gave more information on the GEIS: 3 • DEC, Town Planner, Attorney for the Town recommend doing it now as a best practice • Some of the cost will be covered under the current grant so it will cost the town ~ $37,000 The group discussed how to fund these items.

Thank you, Cynthia Mannin 124 Tamarack Lane Trumansburg NY Jacksonville Community Association of New York PO Box 257, Jacksonville NY 14854 officers@jcany.org October 7, 2024 Carissa Parlato. Clerk Town of Ulysses 10 Elm Street Trumansburg, NY 14886 Dear Clerk Parlato, On behalf of the Jacksonville Community Association (JCA) which owns a 10-acre community park in the Park/Recreation zone in the hamlet of Jacksonville, I would like to convey our support for the proposed zoning amendment to make “Public and private community parks, regional parks and preserves” a permitted use without a special permit. In 2023, the JCA submitted plans to improve the accessibility of the park. Under the current zoning, we were required to submit a Special Permit request to secure permission to make improvements to our park in the park zone. The Special Permit application was in addition to the other applications required by the Planning Board and Board of Zoning Appeals and was essentially a duplication of other documents we had to submit. To have our Special Permit approved, the Town was required to spend time and money to conduct a public hearing on our request. We were grateful to be granted the Special Permit along with site plan approval and zoning variances to install a very small accessible parking area and path to our pavilion and ADA compliant restroom. The proposed change makes common sense, reduces confusion, and improves efficiency for applicants and we urge the Town Board to approve the amendment as presented. Thank you for proposing and hopefully approving this amendment. Sincerely, Nancy Zahler, Vice President and Liaison to the Town Board Cc Jonathan Froelich Rachel Conroy Anne Koreman Cameron Neuhoff 13 EXHIBIT A OF LOCAL LAW #3 OF 2024 (RESOLUTION # 153): Be it enacted by the Town Board of the Town of Ulysses as follows: Section 1.
