Let me know so I cna give Teresa a n. umi : ei: on. who is going .
Bob W .;. l. pol. e is with us t; on. ight t. o disci;iss a few tliin. gs .
The first; 1. 1iin. g is the Bishop Farms .
WAITOLE : Before I start; on. t; lie Bishop Farms , I want; to discuss
what happened at. the Men. ' s Luncheon. yesterday . When. I
got there I was han. ded a memorandum from yoi;ir Tompkins
County Plan. n. in. g Depart. men. t . I t. hin. k t; he more I read it;
durin. g1un. cli , the madder I got . I also understand why
it. ' s put; in. liege . They could have used a different
1-.' ermin. o1ocr, y of words . When. it says , second paragrapli ,
" residen. t. s of t; he Vil. l. age of Groton are not. as well
edi;scat; ed as the Count-. y . as a whole " , let; me tel. .l. yoi;i
somet; hin. g . I was born. and raised in. t; lie Vi1Jage of Grot; on. .
I`f an. outsider moving into t; his Town. shil;) reads that the
residents of t; he Village of Groton are not. well. educated ,
t. liey will. have second t. liouglit. s . I i;in. derstan. d ful. l. y
what they were t. ryin. g t. o say . I Hiin. k they used a piss
poor set. of terms on. it . If they want us t. o be cal. l. ed
assliol. es , cal. l. us assholes person. al. 1y . I am going to
write a l. et; t; er t. o the Tompkins Coi;in. t; y Planning Depart; m : n. t;
and send a copy to our County Represen. tat; ive and I am going
t. o the Toion. Board . I wil. l. make sure the - Supervisor or
somebody follows iap on. it; . That; ' s al. l. I am going to
sZiy on. t; hat; . I think it. is a very poor set. of terms .
SEMTER : I ` tliin. k it; is very in. sen. sit; ive in. the way t; hey presented it; .
PO 'PMAN : Let. me t. el. l. you what. i .t; wen. t. by . They picked everyl. hin. g
off the census . I am sure there wasn ' t an. y malice
in. t. en. ded .
WALPOLE : I understand what; they were trying t. o say here has t; o do
wit; li percent ages . The on. 1y, t. hin. g that; I am saying is
from looking at. it. from the type of business t; hat; I am in. ,
Real. Estate ; if you take it; from i: lie opposite side ,

WALPOLE : and getting a hold of this ; say they want. t; o open. a
savings account; or some soft of busin. ess or even. wanted
to build a Yiouse ; they could take it in. a negative way .
RANKIN : What are you t; al. kin. ` about ?
WALPOI. E : Where the second paragraph reads , " the residents in. the
Village of Groton. are not. as wel. l. educated as . the County
as a wtiol. e an. d the educational. level. of the Town. matched
those of the `7i 1. lage
CA? ' EY : Don ' t you think that. came about; because you got alot; of
the C <) l. Iege Professors al. l. l. ivin. g in. the Lansing and
Ithaca area ? There are on. l. y a few out this Avay .
WALPOLE : We pay as much taxes as they do . I fully understand why
it ' s Yiere , but those educational. people could have written.
a better statement. . I am highly upset. over the reading
of that; statemj:: n. t . Myself and some of the other business
people are going to follow up on. this . rhere wil. l. be
Ietters sent;
RANKIN : This is on. what; the girls from i. lie County Planning Department;

Here is a deed that; is transferring al. l. of the property.
Exist; of this subdivision to Nan. cy and Pat;tl. . There are two
tax parcels . In. the end , there may be only on. e . If they

sive than they are noiv . Phey will. come back if needed
by the Plan. n. in. g Board .
RANKIN : Are they two combined into on. e ?
WALPOLE : There wa .a some deeds transferred back in. 1991 . ( referring

to the Rules and Regillat; ions , that; creat; es a . subdivision. .
In. the R1 le > and Regullat; ions , 2. 00 ft; . of road fron. tage is
in, order t; o pass it . The PlanningBr- ard would have t; o make
a Varian. ce in Uie si;► bdivision. Rules and Regulat. 1011s .

SEN 'PER : You can ' t; create a non. - conforming lot-. .
TOTMAN : Most; Zoning laws I see says that. the Plan. n. in. g Bc, ard can.
vary, the fron. tage .
WALPOLE : Let me ask you anot; her quest ion. , would it; be concealable
if yoi;t went-, witli the t; tiro lot; s at; 200 ft, and t; Lien make
t; hat; other lot. 100 ft. . of road frontage ?
'PO 'PMAN : Saml;.. thing . You ' ll never get; 200 ft. . for ghat; extra lot; .
i- SEPITER : If you read Sect; ion. 322 , boat; om 'ca.ragraph , in, the last
sen. t; en. ce , it; says , " nor may any division. of a land be made
which leaves remain. in. g the fron. t; age or area below t; he

'PO 'PMAN : Phese are Uiin. g we really should be making note of .

WALPOLE : Could we go for a variance on. _ t; his ?
TOTMAN : Yes . It; ' s wrong to tell anyone they can ' t. go for a Variance .
WALPOLE : I can. go into a Pilbl. ic Hearing and address t; his .
TOTM'Z'111 : As far as bein. g on. t; he bet; t; erment of t; he ful.- ure of the
Town. , I personally don ' t. see an. ythin. g wrong in. making
goad i;ise of land . We have already been t; o the Town. Board
and ciscussed flag lots . It is on, record that; the
Plan. n. in. g Board is in, favor of ghat; . The Town. Board shot:
it. down. .
WALPOLE : There ' s about; 60 ft. . off in. back ; that; ' s room enough for
a read . There has been. no application. yet . We are
having a problem wit; li the DEC . What; we were looking
at is Agway is coming plat; t; o sandblast a propane tank .
We got a probable violat; i. on. wit; li D .-FC , so , as soon. as we
get; ' t; hose t; hin. gs worked out; , we ' ll. be OK out at; F l. n. t; on. ' s
Garagm The is an. otller problem t; liat; is on. hold right now .

'PWIGG : Because on. t; he malt , it; is zoned for that .
SENTER : Didn ' t. somebody have definite footage or did tAiey just;
st. icl� a bun. cl] of l. in. es down. there ?
TOTMAN This was passed in. 19 '% 2 , but it. n. ever got put on. t; he map .
WALPOLE : My quest; ion. is , is that; lot. really big enough to build
commercial. on. it. ?
TO 'I'MAN : Ye.s .
WALPOLE : Since t; his is zoned Industrial. Commercial. , ti,herl you go
for a site? plane review , wily do you have tiTo . good building
lots zoned for ghat; ?
TOTMATT : Phe reason. for t; hat; was if you are going t; o have an.
area designat; ed for an. 1n. dusi real. area or what; ever , you
don. ' t want; to allow residential. development; in. t; here
because that will. discourage t; he developm n. t; of
in. dust. rlal. areas . You don. ' t; allow resident; ial. development;
in. order t; o encourage industrial. development . If you allow
that; t; hen. you are killing an. y chan. ce of in. dust; vial. devel. -
opmen. t; in. that; area .
