Miller Planning to call people invited to serve on Planning Council PLANNING
to remind them of April 17 meeting . Ley might also send COUNCIL
notes to some .
Showacre Planning Board is considering the possibility of doing some BASIC
of the basic studies necessary for a master plan . Many STUDIES
volunteers would be needed to conduct the studies .
One method of attaching the preparation of subdivision SUBDIVISION
rules is to have individual members of the Planning Board
prepare sections which would then be studied and revised REGULATIONS
by the complete board .
Ettinger Perhaps an outline of what is usually included in subdivision
rules would help in deciding which sections should have first
attention .
Edmondson A more satisfactory method is to have a hired consultant
write the rules and regulations for Lansing , then study his
recommendations and revise as needed .
Showacre If the Planning Board is interested in employing Mr . Niederkorn
he would require a statement of what is expected of him. He
would then be able to say whether he could do it and at what
cost to the Board . Thera contract satisfactory to him and to
• the Town Board could be signed .
