Barnes Proposal - Rezoning
November 13 , 1995
3 ) A letter was received from Mark lacovell and was read into the hearing minutes
opposing the proposal for a four (4) unit rental unit next to his home. He objects to the
Town proposing to rezone the property from low density to high density. The people
who would be directly affected by this zoning change are against it. He asked the Town
Board to consider this zoning change from the neighborhood perspective and urged the
Board to give his concerns serious consideration.
•
Members of the Public:
Michael Greene - 100 Michigan Hollow Road - formally stated his opposition to the proposed
rezoning of the Barnes property on Michigan Hollow Road from low density residential to
Planned Development. He said as a home owner adjacent to the parcel this rezoning would be
in direct contrast to the nature of the present neighborhood. He asked the Board to deny the
request for the zoning change and to honor the commitment that zoning is enforced in Danby.
Eloise Greene - 100 Michigan Hollow Road - submitted a copy of the petition submitted to the
Planning Board opposing the proposal for rezoning of the Barnes property. The petition
contains twelve ( 12) signatures from ten ( 10) households all located on Michigan Hollow Road.
She requested the petition be entered into the minutes of hearing.
Donald Barnes - 57 Michigan Hollow Road - stated that in the low density zoned area he has
asked the Board to rezone, as low density he would be able to build two two-family houses. A
four-unit dwelling is more efficient, easier to manage and uses fewer resources than two duplex
dwellings. He has submitted new drawings of proposed landscaping that include evergreen trees
to be used as a buffer and sound bather.
Roger Grant - 97 Michigan Hollow Road- supports the proposal for rezoning and one unit on
the eight (8) acre site. He said he thinks that there is adequate space and that the dwelling will
not be all that visible to the neighbors. He supports the easing of zoning restrictions placed on
land owners and does not feel that it is appropriate to deny building on land people have
purchased.
Joan Grant - 97 Michigan Hollow Road - approves of the Barnes Proposal for rezoning. She
does not believe there would be visual problems with the proposed dwelling. When approached
to sign a petition against the proposal there was reference made to the type of people who would
live in the complex and that the property it would not be maintained properly. She said does
not believe in neighbor control over neighbors ' land.
Roy Hornbrook - said his family has owned property in Danby for more than fifty (50) years
and he approves of the Board lowering restrictions in an effort to increase the tax base. He
approves of the proposal. ak
COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD:
Susan Beeners reported that the Board has received an Environmental Assessment,
recommendations from the Planning Board, and copies of the Proposed Local Law related to
the proposed rezoning.
Councilperson Steiner asked if it were possible to place three (3 ) two unit buildings or a cluster
on the ten ( 10) acre parcel .
Susan responded that there is adequate space to place three (3 ) two unit buildings or a cluster
of five (5 ) or six (6) buildings on the ten ( 10) acre parcel.
Members of the public stated they would not object to the placement of single family homes or
a cluster of that nature. The neighborhood objection is to a rental complex.

Barnes Proposal - Rezoning
November 13 , 1995
Councilperson Johnson said that they purchased their property when there were practically no
restrictions for land use. She would like to go back to fewer restrictions if we are talking about
changing the zoning laws. As a thirty (30) year resident of Danby she thinks we are over
restricted with controlling homeowners beyond what is necessary. Our statistics show that
Danby is growing quite slowly and for those who live here have a very heavy burden of taxes.
We are the least populated area in the County. She said she feels from her observation, the
reading of our Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Law, that this proposal falls within the
parameters of those things that are already overly restricted from her point of view. She said
we need to welcome people coming to Danby and strongly opposes classifying people in this
community before we even know who they are. She would like to see the Town Board and the
Planning Board work to see if we cannot accommodate the people in this community.
Councilperson Steiner said that the purpose of zoning as described in our ordinance is to prevent
overcrowding of land, to avoid concentrations of populations, to facilitate sections of lots that
maybe occupied, controlling the density of population and the location and the use of buildings.
Our Comprehensive Plan tries to insure an orderly growth that will not unreasonably disrupt
neighborhoods. The Town wants to minimize and control the expense of providing our services
and discourage larger developments which cause disruptions to the rural atmosphere. He said
to his mind, this Planned Development. Zone is more cost effective to the residents than a cluster
development because the owner would be responsible for the maintenance of the driveway.
Affordable housing is needed as there is not a lot of good quality reasonably priced housing in
the Town of Danby. He said that comments he has heard related to this proposal and rental
property he found very offensive. He thinks this type of development is needed in Danby and
what we are striving for. If the architecture is correct, the proposed building will blend in with
the neighborhood and would look like any family dwelling.
Supervisor Oltz said that in her opinion that this is a small development and cannot see how it
would be disruptive to the neighborhood. It looks like the area plan has a well-planned buffer
area to minimize the effect on the neighbors and their view. It appears that Mr. Barns wants to
be considerate of his neighbors.

held today, Monday, November 13 , 1995 and there will be a hearing on Tuesday,

REPORTS:
EMC Report - Bob Roe reported that Liz Roe was unable to attend many of the EMC
meetings due to a new teaching schedule. She is not able to consider another term on the EMC
due to her busy schedule.
Community Council - Liz Norton reported that she is concerned that the Summer Recreation
Program did not receive funding in the 1996 Preliminary Budget. Community Council will not
be able to run the summer program and pay the rental fee for the building without funding from
the town. She strongly urged the Board to consider funding the summer program. She is also
concerned that the allocaation for the Pond was less in 1996 . This means there will be less
supervision at the pond during the hours it is 'closed to swimming.
Discussion :
Supervisor Oltz reported that in the Preliminary Budget allocation for the pond program is
$3 , 000. The Summer Recreation was not allocated in the budget. The Youth Partnership
Program was increased because there has been positive feedback from many residents and
participants involved in the programs.
Liz Norton said that there have been problems with the summer recreation program and they are
working to solve them. The tuition paid by the participants in the summer programs is used for
the program expense and that the funds from the Town helps pay the rental fee for the building.
Councilperson Steiner is concerned that we are paying too much rent for the building that is used
for our youth programs.
Supervisor Oltz suggested that members of the Youth. Commission, Community Council and
Town Board members get together and explore possible sites for a building for our youth
programs. A tentative meeting was scheduled to be held on Wednesday, December 6, 1995 at
7 : 00 F.M.
Small Cities Community Development Block Grant - Report
Karl Heck, Community/Economic Development Coordinator from Tompkins County Planning
addressed the Board with information regarding Small Cities Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG). CDBG is a HUD Block Grant Program and provides assistance to
municipalities in a variety of areas such as housing rehabilitations, home ownership programs
and economic development. A community can apply for assistance in more than one area and
4 applications are submitted annually. The County asks for a $3 ,000 contribution for localities to
help defray the cost of single-purpose applications, and pays the remainder of the costs out of
its fords. The only Town commitment of funds required is a $3 ,000 application fee and the cost
oh a single audit of town expenditures. The Town of Danby could apply for $400, 000 .
Supervisor Oltz thanked Karl Heck for his information and said that the Board will look into
the possibility of submitting an application.

Code Enforcement Report:
Susan Beeners reported that the October 1995 activity was slow but has increased in November.
Planning Board Report:
Chairperson Ken. Horst reported to the Board some of the comments he heard during the
September Public Hearing on the Barnes Proposal for a rezoning, for clarification. He said the
objective and the intent of the Planning Board is not to restrict development and he does not
•
think the record shows that we try to restrict development in the Town of Danby. The purpose
of the zoning regulations is to provide an orderly Planned Development for the Town and it was
designed to maintain as much as possible the fine environment that we have in the Town of
Danby. The recommendation that was made by the Planning Board was not based on economic
status of potential renters and it was not a factor in the Board ' s consideration. He urged the
Town Board to study the proposal and consider the resolution as presented by the Planning
Board . He read the following portion of the resolution: "Resolved, that the Planning Board
hereby recommends to Mr. Barnes that if he chooses to pursue this proposal at the Town Board
that he include in the information the design of the building and proposed uses of the remaining
lands to facilitate the Town Board ' s review and the neighborhood ' s additional consideration. "
He trusts that Mr. Barnes has fulfilled that recommendation.
Discussion:
Councilperson Johnson said that comments were made by person or persons in reference to the
economic level of potential renters . She is strongly opposed to discriminating housing or
anything else in the community and feels that we are too slow, both as a Town Board and the
Planning Board to responding to the needs of people who want to build something. We need
a better pattern to expedite what people are wanting to do.
Chairperson Horst said that economic level of potential tenants should not have any impact on
consideration of the proposal and it did not in the Planning Boards case. Whether the Board
approves or disapproves of this change the economic level of persons who may be renters should
not be a factor.
Councilperson Steiner said that he agrees that economic level of potential renters should not be
a factor, but it was his impression that some of the opposition in the neighborhood where the
Planned Development is proposed was promoted specifically because of that factor. What
should have been considerations were the objectives of zoning, the comprehensive plan, and
development that has the least impact to the land. He said he thinks that the lesser impact is a
four (4) unit single footprint on the eight (8) acres. His opinion is that the impact to the land
would be less with one building than a cluster development of five (5 ) or six (6) single family
homes. •
Nancy Weitzel said that Mr. Barnes was asked to supply the Planning Board with plans of the
building he plans to build. The Planning Board has not viewed any detailed plans for the
proposed structure or the type of building he plans to build.
Susan Beeners reported Mr. Barnes has submitted building plans for the proposed structure to
the Town Board.
Councilperson Johnson said it would save all of us time the applicant efore given
proposal is brought
the information and requirements they need to present to
before the Boards.
Susan Beeners said that with a proposal for a rezoning the minimum time from the applicant first
coming to first one board to the time that he is able to build is around six (6) months. That time
499

is based on the process set down in the ordinance and State Law. That would also depend on
whether the Town Board and Planning Board meetings are in the right succession to expedite
the proposal.
