Public Hearing - Area Variance, Applicant: Carol Eastman,
Munson Road, Tax Parcel #P/O 20.-1-7.111
DRAFT
Agents for Carol Eastman appeared before the Board for a return visit with a
new Application and revised Sketch Plan requesting an Area Variance that will
allow two (2) driveways over 500' long to be installed. The revised plan shows
that the swap/boundary change to Bartlett has been deleted and a joint use
driveway added. This Subdivision recently was approved with conditions at the
Planning Board Level.
Excerpt from Town of Lansing Planning Board Minutes dated October 24,2011
• NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS:
RESOLVED: that the Town of Lansing Planning Board grant Approval of the revised Eastman
Subdivision Plat and revised Application for a minor three lot residential minor subdivision,with
two flag lots and common driveway, of certain land located at 359 Munson Road, Lansing,New
York, and otherwise known as Tax Map Parcel #20.-1-7.111, in the RA District subject to the
following conditions:
1. Any easements for use of Parcel A of the driveway upon Parcel B may be depicted on the
Final Subdivision Plat as recommended by the Town Engineer and may also be referenced in the
final deeds to the properties at issue;
2. As suggested by the Town Engineer, all driveway extensions and building footprints
should remain clear of the wet area depicted in the revised subdivision plat, such that basic
stormwater erosion and sediment control practices for residential construction may be included
with the Applicant's future building permit application to the Code Enforcement Office;
3. As suggested by the Town Engineer, the driveway culverts should be consistent in
capacity to the downstream Town culvert on Munson Road;and
4. Before any building permit(s) may be issued,a supplementary area variance approval
should be obtained from the ZBA in regard to the revised application and revised
preliminary/final plat showing existence of the wet areas,intermittent watercourse and common
shared driveway;Said supplementary ZBA decision should reference the mitigation factors
respecting drainage,driveway culvert capacity, and driveway extension placement addressed in
the Town Engineer's September 26,2011 correspondence referenced above.
5. Any future division of this property within a three year time period,must come before
the Planning Board for approval.

Further Member Discussion
The Members reviewed the revised Sketch as presented.
Dan Konowalow had concerns as to how the erosion control plans submitted
will work.
Ms. Hirvonen stated that it was the Planning Board's purview with respect to
the erosion control. Furthermore, Ms. Hirvonen advised the Board that the
driveways really do not make any difference to the Zoning Board. The Map
clearly shows two driveways if need be.
Henry (Hurf) Sheldon stated the Board previously had concerns with the
neighbors' drainage. Gregg Travis states the same condition will apply to this
Application. Legal Counsel has already prepared a Planning Board Resolution
with conditions that apply to the Subdivision.
