6:45 PM SITE PLAN APPROVAL - NO BARKS ABOUT IT, 3114 N.
TRIPHAMMER RD TAX #37.1-2-21
No Public Hearing scheduled as they are only adding a few fences and nice shrubs that
will be aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Driveway entrance and Building will stay the
same.
Summary of Comments/Concerns with No Barks About it
• Fencing should not be a problem with line of site at the Intersection.
• Location has a new Septic System.
• The Health Department and The State do not regulate Doggie Day Care
Facilities. They have their own industry regulations that they follow. If dogs are
kenneled over night that would be controlled by the Ag and Markets. "No Barks
About It" will not be kenneling overnight.
2
APPROVED
• Dog waste will go into doggie poop bags and contained in diaper containers
before making the trash container. This process reduces odor. Dumpster is
currently emptied once a month.
• Hours of operation will be from 7:30 am to 6:30 pm Monday -Friday and they
will probably extend by a half an hour in each direction to accommodate their
Cornell clients.
• Only Grooming and Training Class on Saturday, no day care.
• Self-Wash Stations are available as well.
NO BARKS ABOUT IT - Short Environmental Assessment Form Review

RESOLUTION PB 17-07
STATE ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY REVIEW RESOLUTION MAKING NEGATIVE
DECLARATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS FOR THE PROPOSED "NO
BARKS ABOUT IT" DOG DAYCARE SITE PLAN AT 3114 NORTH TRIPHAMMER
ROAD
WHEREAS, an application was made by Melissa Giannone (tenant) for site plan approval
for the proposed construction of site improvements at an existing commercial building
located at 3114 North Triphammer Road,Lansing,New York, also known as TPN 37.1-2-21,
located in the B2 Commercial Use Zone and consisting of approximately 1.02± acres, and
such proposal more specifically will add two fenced in areas and utilize the existing
driveway and parking areas of the current site; and
WHEREAS, a stormwater review, for considering the additional impacts of development
on site improvements and the stormwater system, shows a negligible impact arising from
the addition of new fencing and fence posts and such disturbances are below the stormwater
local law's threshold for review; and
WHEREAS, this proposed action is an Unlisted Action for which the Town of Lansing
Planning Board is the sole involved agency for the purposes of a State Environmental
Quality Review Act("SEQRA")review,and the Planning Board will thus undertake as Lead
Agency an uncoordinated review of the Short-form Environmental Assessment Form
("SEAF") under SEQRA; and
WHEREAS, this project is a reuse of an existing commercial building with no additional
expansion, and is thus exempt from General Municipal Law § 239 referrals to Tompkins
County Planning per such statute and the review guidelines of County Planning; and
WHEREAS, on June 26, 2017, the Town of Lansing Planning Board, in performing its
reviewing agency functions in conducting an environmental review in accordance with
Article 8 of the New York State Environmental Conservation Law and SEQRA regulations:
(i) pursued its thorough review of the project and the Applicant's SEAF, as well as a review
of all other documents prepared and submitted with respect to this proposed action;and (ii)
thoroughly analyzed the potential relevant areas of environmental concern of the project to
determine if the proposed action may have any moderate or significant adverse impacts on
the environment, including the criteria identified in 6 NYCRR § 617.7(c); and (iii) reviewed
the SEAF on the record; and
WHEREAS, each identified potential environmental impact was analyzed and duly
considered by the Planning Board in relation to the question of whether any potential
environmental impacts were so probable of occurring or so significant as to require a
7
APPROVED
positive declaration, and after weighing the above and all other potential impacts arising
from or in connection with this project, and after also considering: (i) the probability of each
potential impact occurring; (ii) the duration of each potential impact; (iii) the irreversibility
of each potential impact, including permanently lost resources of value; (iv) whether each
potential impact can or will be controlled or mitigated by permitting or other processes; (v)
the regional consequence of the potential impacts; (vi) the potential for each impact to be or
become inconsistent with the Towns master plan or Comprehensive Plan and local needs
and goals; and (vii) whether any known objections to the Project relate to any of the
identified potential impacts, the Planning Board found that these factors did not cause any
potential impact to be or be likely to become a moderate or significant impact such that a
negative declaration will be issued.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS:
1. After consideration of the potential environmental impacts,including those reviewed
in accord with 6 NYCRR § 617.7(c), the Planning Board finds that the proposed action of
approving the proposed commercial site plan and its minor improvements,based upon the
site plan as submitted, will individually and cumulatively have no moderate or significant
negative environmental consequences or impacts.
2. This declaration is made in accord with Article 8 of the New York State
Environmental Conservation Law and SEQRA regulations promulgated thereunder, and
accordingly,the Planning Board of the Town of Lansing,based upon: (i)its thorough review
of the SERF, and any and all other documents prepared and submitted with respect to this
proposed action and its environmental review; (ii) its thorough review of the potential
relevant areas of environmental concern to determine if the proposed action may have any
moderate or significant adverse impact on the environment, including, but not limited to,
the criteria identified in 6 NYCRR § 617.7(c); and (iii) its completion of the SEAF, including
the findings noted therein (if any, and which findings are incorporated herein as if set forth
at length),hereby makes a negative determination of environmental significance ("Negative
Declaration") in accordance with SEQRA for the above referenced proposed actions, and
determines that an Environmental Impact Statement is therefore not required.
3. A Responsible Officer of the Planning Board of the Town of Lansing is hereby
authorized and directed to complete and sign,as required,the determination of significance,
confirming the foregoing Negative Declaration, which fully completed and signed SEAF
and determination of significance shall be incorporated by reference in this Resolution

RESOLUTION PB 17-08
RESOLUTION APPROVING AND ISSUING FINAL SITE PLAN APPROVAL FOR
"NO BARKS ABOUT IT"DOG DAYCARE-3114 NORTH TRIPHAMMER ROAD
WHEREAS, an application was made by Melissa Giannone (tenant) for site plan approval for the
proposed construction of site improvements at an existing commercial building located at 3114 North
Triphammer Road,Lansing,New York,also known as TPN 37.1-2-21,located in the B2 Commercial
Use Zone and consisting of approximately 1.02± acres, and such proposal more specifically will add
two fenced in areas and utilize the existing driveway and parking areas of the current site; and
WHEREAS,the proposed business and improvements,and the installation of fencing,will not trigger
excavation or land disturbances at a level as would trigger formal stormwater review under the
Town's Stormwater Local Law, and applicant's proposal will not create any additional impacts of
development on the site or the stormwater system such that the stormwater system and its capacity
were reviewed and found capable of handling the small additional temporary disturbances of
installing removable fence posts; and
WHEREAS, this proposed action is an Unlisted Action for which the Town of Lansing Planning
Board duly issued a Negative Declaration of environmental impacts under SEQRA; and
WHEREAS, this project is considered exempt from a General Municipal Law § 239 review by the
Tompkins County Planning Department; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Board has again considered and carefully reviewed the requirements of
the LUO relative to site plan review, the unique needs of the Town due to the topography, the soil
types and distribution, and other natural and man-made features upon and surrounding the area of the
proposed site plan, and the Planning Board has also considered the zoning in the area and the project
in light of the Town's Comprehensive Plan and compliance therewith, and the Planning Board has
again reviewed and considered the aforementioned amended site plan application and determined that
no public hearing is required for this site plan due to its small size, the fact that no new stormwater
controls or permanent practices are triggered, as no SEQRA or 239 impacts were found, as the use is
a permitted as of right use within the B2 Commercial Use Zone,and as the site plan utilizes an already
existing and developed site; and
9
APPROVED
WHEREAS, on June 26, 2017 the Planning Board duly considered the proposed site plan in
accordance with the provisions of LUO § 701.4 et seq., including concerns addressing site drainage,
lighting, nearby residences, landscaping,parking, buffering, screening, driveways, and any potential
on and off site environmental impacts, and upon due consideration thereupon and deliberation by
the Town of Lansing Planning Board, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, that the "No Barks About It" site plan application for the proposed fencing and
landscape improvements located at 3114 North Triphammer Road,Lansing,New York,be and hereby
is granted and approved, subject to the following conditions:
1. Site plan approvals shall include the application materials, site plan map dated 5/15/2017 and
sketches and illustrations as submitted.
2. Applicant and site users will continue to utilize the existing driveway entrance from North
Triphammer Road and existing parking areas.
3. Building Permits will be required to construct the approved building interior improvements and
such plans must meet all code requirements, including the sealing of plans by a licensed
engineer or architect, and be constructed in compliance with all building code requirements.
4. All existing or previously required vegetative buffers (including as shown on the updated site
plans described above) shall be maintained as healthy and natural non-invasive vegetation
designed to provide both visual and sound buffering. Emphasis shall be placed upon solid cover
barriers, such as hedges and offset rows of evergreen trees, or densely placed deciduous trees
with variable heights and interspersed with evergreens or other plants that provide for such
cover. Existing and any new Buffers shall be properly maintained and any dead, diseased, or
dying trees or plants shall be promptly replaced,and any tree or plants that,whether singularly
or in combination, due to lack of growth, death, recession, disease or other cause, cease to
function as buffers shall be replaced in a manner as promotes the goal of such buffer as stated
in this site plan approval. This condition shall be deemed to augment and further define prior
site plan approval conditions and site plan features hereby or heretofore approved by the
Town.

Summary of Discussion prior to Part II Review:

• The only condition made is if there were further subdivision of these properties, it would
require Planning Board Review.
• Parcel C currently does not have a driveway access. A standard culvert permit to add
driveway access would be needed.
• A tax revision is needed to consolidate Al, A2 and A3 to one tax parcel as per the
resolution.
• A tax revision is needed to consolidate B1 and B2 to one tax parcel as per the
resolution.
• Condition of the Minor subdivision is that no New Construction Project/ Building
Permits will be issued for any of the new parcels A, B, C until consolidation has
happened. Building Permits for repairs will be permitted.

RESOLUTION PB 17-09
TOWN OF LANSING PLANNING BOARD RESOLUTION OF MAKING SEQRA
NEGATIVE DECLARATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS FOR PROPOSED
HUNTER ESTATE AND ENGELS 3-LOT MINOR SUBDIVISION
WHEREAS, an application was made by Jay and Carol Engels for a three-lot subdivision
approval, thus reorganizing three existing lots at Scofield Road, Groton, New York, and
otherwise known as TPNs 30.-1-6.3, 30.-1-6.41 and 30.-1-6.43, consisting of a total of 45.419±
acres in the Rural Agriculture (RA) Zone; and
WHEREAS, the proposed subdivision is shown on a"Survey Map showing the lands of Jay
and Carol Engels and Malcolm and Eleanor Hunter, Scofield Road, Town of Lansing,
Tompkins County, New York," dated May 5, 2015, and proposes to re-subdivide existing
parcels to become Parcel A (15.729± acres, consisting of areas demarked as parcels Al, A2
and A3), Parcel B (12.87± acres, consisting of areas demarked as parcels B1 and B-2), and
Parcel C (16.82± acres, demarked as parcel C); and
WHEREAS, this proposed action is an Unlisted Action for which the Town of Lansing
Planning Board is an involved agency for the purposes of environmental review; and
WHEREAS,a public hearing was duly noticed and held upon June 26,2017 to consider such
minor subdivision and the potential environmental impacts thereof,and the public was free
to provide opinions and evidence in respect of such matters and all members of the public
were duly heard and all evidence taken; and
WHEREAS, on June 26, 2017, the Town of Lansing Planning Board, in performing its
reviewing agency functions in conducting an environmental review in accordance with
Article 8 of the New York State Environmental Conservation Law and SEQRA regulations:
(i) pursued its thorough review of the project and the Applicant's SEAF, as well as a review
of all other documents prepared and submitted with respect to this proposed action;and (ii)
thoroughly analyzed the potential relevant areas of environmental concern of the project to
determine if the proposed action may have any moderate or significant adverse impacts on
the environment, including the criteria identified in 6 NYCRR § 617.7(c); and (iii) reviewed
the SEAF on the record; and
WHEREAS, each identified potential environmental impact was analyzed and duly
considered by the Planning Board in relation to the question of whether any potential
environmental impacts were so probable of occurring or so significant as to require a
positive declaration, and after weighing the above and all other potential impacts arising
from or in connection with this project,and after also considering: (i) the probability of each
potential impact occurring; (ii) the duration of each potential impact; (iii) the irreversibility
16
APPROVED
of each potential impact, including permanently lost resources of value; (iv) whether each
potential impact can or will be controlled or mitigated by permitting or other processes; (v)
the regional consequence of the potential impacts; (vi) the potential for each impact to be or
become inconsistent with the Towri s master plan or Comprehensive Plan and local needs
and goals; and (vii) whether any known objections to the Project relate to any of the
identified potential impacts, the Planning Board found that these factors did not cause any
potential impact to be or be likely to become a moderate or significant impact such that a
negative declaration will be issued.
NOW,THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS:
1. After consideration of the potential environmental impacts,including those reviewed
in accord with 6 NYCRR § 617.7(c), the Planning Board finds that the proposed action of
approving the proposed minor 3-lot subdivision, as based upon the proposed survey and
plat as submitted, will individually and cumulatively have no moderate or significant
negative environmental consequences or impacts.
2. This declaration is made in accord with Article 8 of the New York State
Environmental Conservation Law and SEQRA regulations promulgated thereunder, and
accordingly,the Planning Board of the Town of Lansing,based upon: (i)its thorough review
of the SEAF, and any and all other documents prepared and submitted with respect to this
proposed action and its environmental review; (ii) its thorough review of the potential
relevant areas of environmental concern to determine if the proposed action may have any
moderate or significant adverse impact on the environment, including, but not limited to,
the criteria identified in 6 NYCRR § 617.7(c); and (iii) its completion of the SEAF, including
the findings noted therein (if any, and which findings are incorporated herein as if set forth
at length),hereby makes a negative determination of environmental significance ("Negative
Declaration") in accordance with SEQRA for the above referenced proposed actions, and
determines that an Environmental Impact Statement is therefore not required.
3. A Responsible Officer of the Planning Board of the Town of Lansing is hereby
authorized and directed to complete and sign,as required,the determination of significance,
confirming the foregoing Negative Declaration, which fully completed and signed SEAF
and determination of significance shall be incorporated by reference in this Resolution

APPROVING HUNTER ESTATE AND ENGELS MINOR 3 LOT SUBDIVISION, 522-554
SCOFIELD ROAD
WHEREAS, an application was made by Jay and Carol Engels for a three-lot subdivision approval,
thus reorganizing three existing lots at Scofield Road, Groton, New York, and otherwise known as
TPNs 30.-1-6.3, 30.-1-6.41 and 30.-1-6.43, consisting of a total of 45.419± acres in the Rural

WHEREAS, on June 12, 2017, the Planning Board classified the proposed subdivision as a minor
subdivision, including as there are no new lots being created, there are only 3 lots, and there are no
roads or infrastructure proposed to be developed; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was duly noticed and held upon June 26, 2017 to consider such minor
subdivision and the potential environmental impacts thereof, and the public was free to provide
opinions and evidence in respect of such matters and all members of the public were duly heard and
all evidence taken; and
WHEREAS, a negative declaration of environmental impacts was duly issued under SEQRA, this
action is exempt from the § 239 requirements under the General Municipal Law, and this land, even
though within an RA District, is not currently farmed such that no agricultural impacts are expected;
and
WHEREAS, the Planning Board has considered and carefully reviewed the requirements of the
Town's laws and regulations relative to subdivisions and the unique needs of the Town due to the
topography, the soil types and distributions, and other natural and man-made features upon and
surrounding the area of the proposed subdivision, and the Town has also considered the Town's
18
APPROVED
Comprehensive Plan and compliance therewith, and the Planning Board has further considered the
proposed subdivision in relation to the surrounding area and neighborhoods, the public facilities and
services available, the site characteristics, and any potential on and off site environmental impacts;
and

therefore be it
RESOLVED, that the Town of Lansing Planning Board grants Final Plat Subdivision Approval of
the application for a three-lot minor subdivision of certain land located at 522-554 Scofield Road,
Lansing, New York, and that the afore-described survey map shall suffice as a Final Plat when so
amended in accordance with the following conditions and findings:
1. The land and the resulting parcels may not be further subdivided or have any boundaries changed
without further subdivision or other approval of and by the Town of Lansing Planning Board, and this
condition shall be stated on the face of the Final Plat referenced below.
2. The Survey Map shall be re-labelled as a "Minor Subdivision Final Plat" and all other plat
requirements, for good cause as shown, shall be waived in connection with such final plat, including the
various requirements of Local Law#3 of 2016,§6(B),in that:(i)such additional information is not necessary
for this review; (ii)the lot configurations comply with requirements of zoning and the subdivision law; (iii)
no new lots are hereby being created; and (iv) the Planning Board has determined that this waiver of
requirements for a final plat will not have any adverse effect on this review or the neighborhood.

Permits will be issued until consolidation has happened. Building Permits for repairs will be permitted.
4. The sealing and endorsement of such Minor Subdivision Final Plat shall be made by the Planning

Mike Long briefly reviewed updates in the Planning Department
• The update from last meeting is still current
• Still waiting on information on The Cell Tower for the Fall Zone and from NYSEG
• Be ready for upcoming discussions on the Cargill Shaft Site Plan
o Cargill has been working with the State on the SEQR process
o Shaft is mainly for people
o At some point there will be a Public Hearing
• Revision 3 for the Site Plan Proposal for Lansing Climbing Gym-
o Height is the same.
o Foot Print is the same,only moved away from the building a little more.
o Landscaping stays the same.
o Parking is the same.
o Would like to see color change,mural or windows to help break up the massive
wall.
Gerald Caward made a motion at 7:26 PM to accept the amended revision 3 Site Plan for
the Climbing Gym with a condition to visually make the front side of the massive wall
more pleasing as mentioned above,. Deborah Trumbull seconded the motion and it was
carried by the following roll call vote:
Vote of Planning Board . . . (Aye) Gerald Caward, Member
• Vote of Planning Board . . . (Aye) Sandra Dennis Conlon, Member

Chairman Tom Ellis would like to make a recommendation to move Gerald Caward to
Vice Chair due to Lin Davidson having a full plate. Lin Davidson, Gerald Caward, Ed
LaVigne and I have agreed this would be a good transition for both.
20
APPROVED
A recommendation will be sent to the Town Board along with Lin Davidson sending a
letter to step down from the Vice Chair position.
Lynn Day we are putting water districts on Wilson Road, Buck Road, Drake Road, Conlon
Rd Area, if we want growth where the services are. Could we change the density
requirements on the land use to 20,000 square feet now, before we work on the full land
use changes? This would deter a long wait time for many, as the full land use changes
could take a few years.
• A Public Hearing would need to be made before a change could be made.
Chairman Tom Ellis would like to see a Solar and Alternative Energy Package made before
we start to work on the Land Use Ordinance.
Dean Shea is working on a proposal for Micro Ag. Both the City and Town of Ithaca have
this. The Town of Ithaca has a Conservation Zone that allows almost any farm use if you
own over 7 acres.
Dean Shea made a motion to adjourn at 7:45 PM. Al Fiorille seconded the motion.
