1195 Taughannock Boulevard, Tax Parcel 30.-3-8
WHEREAS, the Planning Board finds the following:
1. A request was submitted to the Town Board by property owner Carol Weissmann to
establish an open development area for subject property located at 1195 Taughannock
Boulevard, Tax Parcel 30.-3-8; and
2. Pursuant to the Consolidated Laws of New York Chapter 62 Article 16 Section 280-A, the
Town Board, after considering the request on December 9, 2025, passed Town Board
Resolution 2025-165 and referred the proposal to the Planning Board for advice and
recommendation; and
3. The subject parcel does not directly abut Taughannock Boulevard or any other street or
highway, nor a street shown on an approved plat, but has previously been developed with a
single detached dwelling unit with access to Taughannock Boulevard via a private driveway
across an adjacent property; and
4. The subject parcel is zoned Lake Shore Zone and is within the HzE (Hudson and Dunkirk
soils, 20 to 45 percent slopes) Slope Overlay; and
5. The request to establish an open development area is to obtain needed construction
permits for any future maintenance or upgrades on the subject property; and
6. An open development area must be established for the subject parcel by the Town Board
prior to issuance of construction permits per state law; and
7. The Planning Board on January 6, 2026 reviewed the request and the Town Board's referral
for advice and recommendation.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING BOARD RESOLVES THE FOLLOWING:
1. It would be in the long-term best interest for the public health, safety, and general welfare
of the property owners, community, and Town to establish an open development area for
the subject parcel in order to obtain construction permits for current and future needed site

2. Sufficient access to the subject parcel from Taughannock Boulevard for fire trucks,
ambulances, police cars and other emergency vehicles is imperative to ensure public health

establish an open development area for the subject parcel located at 1195 Taughannock
Boulevard,Tax Parcel 30.-3-8, subject to the following conditions:

and recommendations to the Town Board as to any site improvements needed including
but not limited to grading, surface construction, vegetative clearing, and 911 signage.
2. Any substantive widening or re-grading of the access drive recommended by Fire, Police, or
