Lin Davidson -Aye Al Fiorille—Aye Larry Sharpsteen—Aye Deborah Trumbull—Aye Thomas Butler,Alternate-Aye Tom Ellis—Aye We will meet back with Finger Lakes Marina on January 14, 2019 and review the final Site Plan resolution. Continued Discussion on the Proposed Zoning Map - The Marina should be identified as Commercial on the proposed zoning. This will remove the ability to have a Marina anywhere else in the Lakeshore Zoning within Lansing's Shoreline. - The Planning Board reconfirmed that the Kolenberg's property across from the school should be removed from the Lakeshore and put back in the B1 Zoning. In 2003, the Town Board moved the property out of the B1 and put into Lakeshore zoning without a review or recommendation from the Planning Board. The Town Board has scheduled a Public Hearing on December 19, 2018 to discuss and possibly vote on the change to correct whatever happened back then. - It was discussed that the Bus Garage should really be in Commercial Use Zone due to the type of impacts on the environment; it would be the same as if it were a trucking company. - The discussion is to create a new zone for the Triangle area called R4,which is proposed to be a mixed use/ with professional offices utilizing reverse frontage and minimize curb cuts and driveways. Page 4 of 5 APPROVED - Also discussed for down by the school area to create a similar zone called R4A which will begin at Myers Road on the south side of Ridge Road to Portland Point Road. This would be propose Low impact professional offices with reverse frontage mixed with residential uses that would be appropriate for the around the school area. The reasoning behind it is to classify the zoning to better fit the area around the school. - The process is to look at all the Definitions all the Uses and the Charts. - The churches along Ridge Road were discussed and decided to leave as R2 zoning.
