Planning Board Meeting Minutes Page 2 of 3 April 1, 2025 Old Business Items REZ2412-02: Rezone for Development District 3 2012 Trumansburg Rd, Parcel Number 20.-3-1 The applicant, Crissy Karns, on behalf of the property owner, Chad Doolittle, applied for a rezone of the subject site to amend the zoning of the western portion of the lot from DD3 to A/R: Agricultural/Rural or R: Residential, and to amend the zoning of the eastern portion of the lot from DD3 to B1: Business. The overall project proposal for the site would be phased; the first phase would be the rezone action, the second and third phase would be a subdivision of the western portion of the existing lot in order to construct single residential dwelling units that would help fund the fourth phase which would be to construct an indoor sports complex on the eastern portion of the existing lot. If approved, the action would also require an amendment to the Code of the Town of Ulysses (CTU) 212-118. Chair Klankowski noted there will be further review for future subdivision and building permit applications. Motion: Chair Klankowski motioned to move the resolution to the floor; Gragg seconded. The Board Read through the resolution and discussed modifications to the language. McDonald spoke about the existing businesses in the area, suggesting it seems less useful to the town to have residences on the Route 96 side. Discussion ensued over rezoning the entire parcel to Residential. Chair Klankowski explained the proposed sports facility could still be constructed in the residential zone by obtaining a special permit. Chair Klankowski spoke about the 2009 comp plan. The Board discussed the status of the parcel as an agricultural priority area. Tygesen spoke about the requirements for the recommendation described by the zoning code. Motion: McDonald motioned to approve the modified resolution, Planning Board Resolution No. 2025- 007 A Resolution Recommending Approval With Modification of the Proposed Rezone Located at 2012 Trumansburg Road, Tax Parcel 20.-3-1; Gragg seconded.
