The Supervisor led all present in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Discussion of the Log Cabin•
Mr. Chris Muka approached the Board regarding the placement of the log
cabin on his land. He would put it back together free of charge. He would like to
have it open to the public once a month but was willing to work with any
suggestions. He would also like to have the nature center there.
Mr. Shattuck stated that he had the most time and energy vested in this
project and that Mr. Muka made the same offer last year. After looking at the
property it was felt that the land was ill suited but since then he has petitioned the
ZBA to allow the set backs closer to the road so he would not have to do major
excavation. Mr. Shattuck applauded Mr. Muka for all he has done but he felt it
was all premature and felt the Board needed to look back to the community and
all other alternatives that are out there. Bud offered to look into other offers
and /or opportunities before making a decision. The Board wanted a time frame
and Mr. Shattuck felt he could complete his research within 60 days.
Mr. Krogh stated that there will also be legal limitations that will have to be
looked at.

searching for a WSI to round out our 4 person teaching team for
swimming lessons.
Spring LSP and LBP programs have been completed and all of the
program equipment (40 bags) is being returned now.
Travel Baseball and Softball is starting now with a few practices and
games will be starting soon. We have a 12U baseball team, two 10U
baseball teams, 12U softball teams and hopefully a 14U softball team.
Prep, Babe Ruth and Legion baseball teams have started their summer
league games and will ALL conclude by the end of July.
240
The "Late Summer and Fall" program booklet has been printed and
distributed to the schools. This is done now so that we can make sure
and get it to the students just before they leave school for the summer.
a For the month of May we did over $19,000 of sales through user fees.
To date, we have received several calls to our office that have been very
positive with regard to Salt Point, which is very different from calls that we
had taken over the past few years. People seem to appreciate the
accessibility of the area.
The beachfront swim area at Myers Park is scheduled to open at the end
of the month. We will need to schedule a beachfront inspection by the
health department and get the ropes installed.

At the Water Resource meeting on Monday, the head of the Canal
Corporation was there and informed all at the meeting that the Oswego River
Basin which incorporates the channel across the top of six lakes which includes
Seneca and Cayuga lakes. The year 1951 (when the thruway system started to
be open) was.the biggest year ever as far as floating barges and moving
commerce in New York State. In the 1960's, the State gave away the rights of all
the involved municipalities to control the locks. The Canal Corp. has control of
Cayuga Lake except Cayuga Lake is somewhat controlled by Seneca Lake
who's water is controlled by a private corporation from California who is in it only
for profit. When the water is up, they make money. They are the ones that have
been controlling the lake levels. Mr. Shattuck stated that Home Rule has
prevented all of the municipalities from getting the control back.
ZBA Meeting:
The ZBA Board met Tuesday from 7:00 p.m. until 9:30 p.m. with
approximately 40 people in attendance. They heard three (3) more appeals and
hear two of the three next month.
Matt Besemer:
aq3
Sewer Committee:
Mr. Besemer stated that he and Scott Pinney met with Nancy Loncto and
Lynn Davidson to discuss the direction of the Zoning Ordinance. They decided to
create a committee which will involve some members of the public.
Scott Pinney stated that he would like to see one person from the
Planning Board, Town Board and ZBA Board. Mrs. Wilcox felt this has been
going on for way too long and felt there should be a time line set. Scott would like
to advertise for the committee members and see what happens. He would like to
make a decision on the committee at the next Regular Meeting. Mrs. Wilcox
would like to contact some of the people that were on the sewer committee.
Nancy Loncto suggested Tom LaVigne as a possible candidate. Mr. Pinney will
have applications available in his office.
Cayuga Farm Town Houses:
At the last Planning Board Meeting, Mr. Tim Beau brought forth another
proposal for the Cayuga Farms Town Homes. He is proposing 138 units with the
sewer going into the Village. The Planning Board told him to come back when he
had more information and /or a plan for the sewer.
Marty Christopher:
Country Acres:
Mr. Christopher informed the Board that the Town Clerk and Deputy Town
Clerk went to Homer to look at the Country Acres Kennels. Mr. Christopher
stated that he contacted two of the municipalities they contract with and both had
good reviews. There is a possibility the Town will contract with them instead of
the SPCA at some point. The Board looked over the agreement and will discuss
the dollar amount in executive session.
Connie Wilcox:
Nothing to report at this time.
A. Scott Pinney:
Boris Simkin.
Mr. Simkin came to see Mr. Pinney the other day and asked for the Town
to help get the water main down through his property by informing the residents
that this would be the best option for them. He was not asking for the Town to
pay for it.
Mr. Shattuck stated that if the residents sign a petition and if Mr. Simkin
pays to put his own water and road to the end, he can have his own subdivision.
Mr. Shattuck also felt they would need 80% of the residents to agree to the
district. They would all have to have the cost up front before signing any petition.
Larry Zuidema:
Mr. Pinney received a resignation letter from Larry Zuidema stating that he
no longer will be able to fulfill his Planning Board responsibilities.

Myers Road:
The parcels of land in Myers have all checked out and are ready to be put

Robinson Road.
The question of whether or not Robinson Road is a Town Road is being
brought up again. This is used as a farmer's field on the Lansing side but is used
by the Town of Locke on the other end of the road. A woman who lives on the
Locke side but owns land on the Lansing side has contacted Lansing residents to
come to the Town and try to have them reopen the road. Mr. Krogh told her to
contact the Supervisor or the Highway Superintendent through her Counsel
regarding this matter.
Water Extension on Murfield Drive:
At an earlier meeting John Hicks came to the Board regarding a water
extension on his property on Murfield Drive. It was decided to allow the Engineer
