According to are old (1975) Town of Lansing Board resolution, a developer is suppose to extend Sun Path Road to the Butler property. (42, -1-29) which is located partially in the Town and partially in the Village of Lansing. The proposed road should be put along property of Virginia Watts and Maria Harrison converting existing driveway to the last property to a public road, His vision of this development would be to keep it secluded and private due to the fallowing objection to the road extension; 1. Mr. Butler confirmed, that his family, in the near future, has no plans to develop their property, , Extending Sun Path Road about 500 linear feet and building a hammer head turn -a -round would increase cost of development drastically, . The Town will have to maintain and plow the road to no where and spend tax payer's money without any reason. 4, The proposed road will be definitely objected by all Sun Path homeowners especially by homeowners of 16 and 20 Sun Path Road. Mr. Slmkin has a preliminary development plan from the Village of Lansing for the Crossmore property (42,-1-37)- He stated that it is very clear that the Village has no plans and desire to connect the property to Butler's property creating a parallel road to East Shore Drive as an additional road, In this case a proposed Sun Path Road extension will serve no purpose and be absolutely strange, He asked the Board members to reconsider the almost 30 year old decision and let him not extend the Sun Path Road. Developing Sun Path subdivision as a high and secluded and private subdivision. Mr, Shattuck stated that about four years ago, the previous landowner, himself, the Town Supervisor, Town Attorney and the Town Engineer were all in a meeting and it was stated that, should Mr- Simkin purchase the property, two things would come with it. One being a water service to all new and to all preexisting properties and nurnber two being a road that would lead toward the Butler property. There had to be another access road out of the development, fir. Shattuck stated that the Board is only looking at what happens within the Town and how we create roads with egress and access for municipal vehicles for ambulances, etc. Mr, Shattuck stated that he certainly would not be in favor of Mr- Simkin's proposal. Mr- Simkin felt this road would go no where. He asked why M r. Butler couldn't build the Road if he were to develop the property in the futu re, It was the opinion of the Board that Mr, Simkin needs to go to the Planning Board at this time. 1r. Farkas guaranteed that as long as he was Town Supervisor, nothing will happen on Sun Path unless every I is dotted and every T is crossed as an unbelievable amount of time has been spent and there have been all kinds of complaints, This will be done the way the Town Board wants it done and that will be the only way it will be done, Mr, Shattuck paraphrased a letter from Mr, Sirnkin regarding water in the Sun Path area- It talked about the division of cost regarding water. He stated that Mr- Simkin would like to split the cost more equally which would be the homeowners (5) and the empty lots (9) which would raise the developers cost to 65% as opposed to 5 %, Mr. Shattuck felt this was a good thing and that Mr. Simkin may want to stare it with the present landowners, Mr- Shattuck also stated that he assumed all along that the total cost of the water district other than booking up would be born by the developer of the new properties- Mr. Simkin said this should be decider] between the developer and the homeowners, not the Town. When they have a decision, they will then come to the Town Board and the Planning Board for their approval, fir, Simkin stated that he carne to the Town Board first on recommendation from Dick Platt, M r, Krogh stated that at this time, there is nothing before the Town Board to approve. Mr- Shattuck wants to make sure that when it comes to a read that was planned 30 years ago, the Town Board continues to be put in the process of the road being built, Mr, Herrick stated that the comprehensive plan may need to be looked at regarding this matter- He also stated that the final approval of any water district comes from the Town Board- Public Hearing on Special Use Permit: RESOLUTION 07 — 8 opi RESOLUTION, offered by Mr. Christopher and seconded by Mr, Beserner.
