Proof of Notice having been furnished, the Public Hearing for proposed Water District
No. 19 and No. 7, Extension 11 was called to order:
Mr. Herrick presented the proposal for Water District No. 19 to the residents. Comments
regarding the proposed district were as follows:
Arlene Deride: She stated that she was in a proposed district years ago that was turned down. The
area now has water with help from grants and the people do not pay for it so she asked the Town
to look into grants. Mr. Herrick stated that her information was wrong and that the people DO
pay for the district. He also felt the income level in the area was too high to look into a HUD
grant.
Stanley Marcus asked "who" would be allowed to vote if the district came to a referendum.
Rich John stated that there would be one vote per household. He also stated that a property owner
has to live within the district. The majority vote would rule.
Jim Ryan stated that he has a two story house 600 feet off the road and that he would not be able
to afford being in the proposed district. He stated that he was totally against it. Mr. Herrick stated
that a meter pit could be put in at the street line. After the meter pit, cheaper materials could be
used to get to the house.
Andy Neigh and Dale Williams also stated that they were against it as the cost would be too
high. Mr. Neigh asked what benefits he would receive by being in a water district.
Rob Bandler stated that the people in the Franklyn and Maple Drive area were all in favor of the
district in June and would like to see said area get water as soon as possible and did not feel that
the residents that were added to the district should hold up the ones that want it. He asked that
the district be moved back and include only the Franklyn and Maple Drive areas.
A hand vote was taken, there was 29 yes votes and 8 no votes. All no votes were from residents
26.6
Continued August 18, 1999
on Armstrong Road.
Linda
Caliel stated
that she had a copy
of the petition that was taken door to door and there were
12 yes's,
3 no's , 1
maybe and two were not home.
On motion, the Public Hearing was closed at 7:58 p.m.
Mr. Cleveland stated that he would have to base his decision on the survey that was taken
around and turned into the Board which showed that the majority of the people on Armstrong
Road were in favor of it.
Linda Caliel stated that the survey was taken around twice and the majority want water.
She does NOT want it voted down by the residents on Armstrong Road.
Richard Mulks stated that he was in favor of the district even though he does not have a
water problem. He urged the residents to think about it as there has been no snow pack, and no
rain for the past two years.

Mr. John read the "Statement of Policy" to the people attending the meeting.
Mr. Krizek felt there were errors in the statement. Nancy Stage stated that there are too many
options that are permitted in the IR zone without site plan review. She felt there was NO
protection and that the intent of the Statement of Policy would not work.
Mr. Krizek asked where the law is that would enforce the statement.

Larson. Mrs. Kirby will write Mr. Garcia and explain the Board's decision.

Road and Cayuga Vista Drive, which roads are not the actual detour route around the
construction area, and

RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Lansing hereby directs that the Town
Highway Superintendent place weight limit signs as appropriate and that the Tompkins County
