Mr. and Mrs. Albert LaBar expressed concern and felt discriminated against
in regard to the water line in Water District No. 9. They feel this line should
come to the stake which is 80' from their house and not 168' as it is proposed
at this time. Mr. Herrick stated that it was originally planned to be placed
across the road and the LaBar's would then have to bore under the road. Dave
Herrick will look into extending the water line further and get back to the
Board with his figures. Mrs. Kirby will keep in touch with Mrs. LaBar on this
situation.
Dave Herrick reported the following to the Town Board.
1. A Water Committee meeting was held September 17th, 1990 and the agent for
the owner of Autumn Ridge provided a letter requesting that the Water
Committee review and present to the Town Board, their proposal for
.establishing a district. The property between the Village line and the
proposed water district boundry would be land locked. The four pieces
of Town property would not be in a water district. Mr. Thaler and the
Town Board felt that the developer should extend the line at his own
expense because if Town funds were to be used it would be subject to approval
from Audit and Control. Cal Waren will contact the property owners
concerned and find out if they would be interested in becoming a part of
the proposed water district.
continued September 199 1990
John Kaminsky presented a letter to the Town Board from the Water
Committee outlining discussion and,concerns from the water committee within
the past two months. He recommended that the Town accept the report
implementing the recommendations in the report. He felt the Burdick Hill
pump station should be upgraded as soon as possible. They would also like to
put all the water districts into one town wide district.
2. David' discussed a sewer meeting that took place between:several,engineers form
different municipalities. The main concern is how to get to the Ithaca pl"ant.1
from Cayuga Heights. The Town of Dryden has to decide if they would go through
Lansing or through the Town of Ithaca before any figures can be discussed.
RESOLUTION offered by Mr. Emmick who moved its adoption, seconded by Mr.
Cleveland:
RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Lansing hereby appoints Mr.
Fred Rogers to the Water and Sewer Board as an alternate until December 31, 1990.
Carried.
A discussion was held concerning Donald Swearingen's temporary water
hook up. Mrs. Kirby stated that she had recently received the easement from
Mr. Swearingen. The Town Board told Mr. Swearingen he could hook up on a
temporary basis, but he also must apply for a Water District No. '7 extension
within 30 days from this date. Any expenses occured in the Water Disrtict
extension will be at Mr. Swearingen's expense.
RESOLUTION offered by Mr. Tvaroha who moved its adoption, seconded by
Mr. Cleveland:
RESOLVED, that Mr. Thaler is hereby authorized to execute a letter to
Bolton Point stating that Mr. Swearingen's situation is an emergency and;
BE IT

Phase I: Doing the work in total, on Gulf Creek Heights.
All utilities will be in and developing:% the lots and having all
the drainage lines in and complete. It also includes cutting the
road and doing the rough grading. (The finishing of said road would

6.
He stated that the bill from Scotts Trucking has other payees names on it
besides the Town of Lansing. This was a mistake that was made by Landstrom
Landfill. A letter will be accompaning this bill, explaining it. The
Board will not pay this bill until the letter is received.
7.
Mr. Larson will check with Vestal Asphalt to see when they will be planting
the trees around the building. Mr. Larson would also like to get a copy
of the contract between the Town and Vestal Asphalt.

He stated that he has put together a permit form for everyone who will
put culverts in for driveways. Mr. Larson will then look over the
applications and then forward them on to Mr. Totman.
Robert Leathers presented the different phases of Mrs. Kims project to
the
Board. He asked the Town Board for their approval of the subdivision.
He stated the following:
1. Mrs. Kim has agreed to do all the work on Teeter Road to•bring it up
to Town specifications.
2. She is also agreeing to put the water line in and the service-,as shown
on the plan. (This will be done in the first phase instead of the third
phase as originally planned).
3. She will extend the water line up Teeter Road to the people who will
need it in the first phase and asked
the Board for their help in obtaining
any necessary easements.
Mr. Leathers then explained what the phases would be, as follows:
Phase I: Doing the work in total, on Gulf Creek Heights.
All utilities will be in and developing:% the lots and having all
the drainage lines in and complete. It also includes cutting the
road and doing the rough grading. (The finishing of said road would

Phase III: Continue up Teeter Road, finishing the road and cutting the road
on the future Smugglers Path, and finishing them with utilities,etc.
The Town Attorney and the Town Board would like something in writing from Mrs.
Kym stating that this will be the approach and some type of time frame mentioned
along with financial assurance that at least Phase I would be done as mentioned.
Mr. Thaler stated the following: Mrs. Kim would be able to sell lots and
get building permits when Phase I is completed even though the road is not
totally done if Mrs. Kim has a letter of credit on file that is acceptable to
the Town Board and Town Attorney and a time limitation by which the road will be
completed or the Town will step in and complete it.
The Town Board felt that we should wait to see how TomTran is utilized
before discussing a new bus for the senior citizens. A reserve fund was discussed.
