(Aye) Matt Besemer, Councilperson Vote of Town Board ... (Aye) Marty Christopher, Councilperson Vote of Town Board ... (Aye) Bud Shattuck, Councilperson Vote of Town Board ... (Aye) Connie Wilcox, Councilperson Vote of Town Board ... (Aye) Stephen Farkas, Supervisor Mr. Shattuck discussed the Kingdom Farm property and what it could be used for. He stated that the land is up for sale which consists of 500 + acres. Right now the whole property is zoned rural agricultural. The owners would like to see some of their land as "mixed use ". They feel their property would meet a lot of the Town's needs, both housing and possibly other commercial and area needs. Mr. Shattuck states that he was speaking for Watchtower as a proxy, not as anyone with any investment in it. Mrs. Wilcox stated that there will be a need for approximately 3,000 new residents in the County over the next ten years. She read a portion of the proposed plan that stated that as development proceeds, the Town will work to encourage a variety of housing accommodations for residents of all ages and income levels. Continuous strips of housing along major roads and land subdivision that creates inefficient or inaccessible back parcels will be discouraged to effective land management regulations. Now a lot of road frontage is being sold off for housing parcels which then makes the land behind them totally inaccessible and totally useless for any kind of development. They would like to see clusters of housing to make more efficient use of the land and keep the development in areas where it should be. The northern part of the Town should be kept rural and farmland. Tompkins County Better Housing deems affordable housing anywhere around $ 170,000.00. This means people of all levels of income can start to afford housing in Tompkins County. Mr. and Mrs. James Sullivan made the following comments: a) Future development should be kept in line with the current characteristics of the area and be cost justified on it's own without direct or indirect public subsidy. It should not impact current residents. b) To keep housing affordable, you need to be careful not to embark on something which is going to significantly impact property taxes in particular. c) Why do we have to give incentives to developers? d) If you want to develop land here, you should pay what it costs to make that land useful or attractive, etc. e) We don't have to bribe and support people to move to Lansing as they will move here anyway. They don't need incentives that would end up costing people that already live here extra money on their taxes. f) People that have lived here all of their lives will be taxed so much that they will not be able to afford to retire here. g) Will only be attracting people that can afford something more than a $200,000.00 house. That will take out the diversity of the community which is one of its strong points, and turning it into Cayuga Heights. Bud stated that the roll of the comprehensive plan is to say how we look at the future and make sure it's not put together haphazardly. He stated that families that for years have farmed all of the areas, especially south of us, have and continue to approach the Board about selling their properties for lots at a profit and none of the lands are affordable within the range that was stated earlier. Sewer won't change how that land is developed. 2 275 276 h) The density of the cluster housing will have a major impact on the infrastructure here, especially roads. Mr. Christopher stated that it is a plan and not set in concrete. Dick Platt stated that the Planning Board's incentive was to have grocery stores, a bank, parks, etc. Their incentive is a nice place to live and not have to go to Ithaca for things such as groceries, etc. i) How soon will the Cayuga Heights plant have to upgrade if the Town ends up using it as it is an old plant. Also, at what point will we exceed the capacity of the Cayuga Heights Plant?

SEQRA: Type I Privilege of the Floor: Tony Nekut (sewer): IN Mr. Nekut stated that he has been working with Dave Herrick and Mr. Blum and is trying to come up with a consistent and agreed upon local plan. He stated that in the long run, the current plan will cost more than a local plan. He felt there should be a smaller plant built which could be closer to the lake. This could serve the most threatening properties (lake front properties) to begin with and at a later date more homes could be connected to the sewer line as needed. This would provide a much more equitable way to distribute the cost. He felt the Board should be presenting more than one option to the townspeople. He would like to be able to put some kind of statement together with other options for the December 9th meeting. Mrs. Sullivan totally agreed with Mr. Nekut. She felt Lake Front properties need help now. She stated that she would be very concerned as to what could happen to her own home if the sewer were to be put in. She stated that if power went out for a day or more, her basement could fill up with sewer which would put it in danger. She then asked how many years would it be before the Cayuga Heights plant would need upgrades? Cayuga Heights puts chlorine into their system which is not safe. Mr. Herrick stated that the Cayuga Heights facility is quite sound. He also stated that he appreciated Mr. Nekut's efforts. Dave presented the following agenda: - 1 1.
