Minutes , LANSING PLANNING BOARD , August 26 , 1968 ; Town Hall , Special Meeting , page 2 The Chairman also emphasized the necessity for the formulation of • a work sheet for the use of Planning Board members , which will list step by step just what each subdivision applicant has com- pleted , and the maximum time to the next step , so that the Plan- ning Board can keep track of progress . Thus if the Planning Board feels it is its duty to do so , it can remind the applicant that he is to appear by a stipulated time , with further steps completed . Miller Suggested that each member of the Board might try to make up such a sheet , and all such attempts could be assembled to make sure that all aspects of the procedure had been covered . Showacre Suggested that a meeting of minds on the work sheet be held , with Tom Niederkorn present , and also that samples of checklists from various nearby towns would be helpful in making up such a list for this Planning Board . Ruzicka Mentioned the advisability of all Planning Board members knowing something about subdivision regulations , when judging various par - cels of real estate which will in the future come before this Board . Miller Asked whether there is a possibility that special meetings will SPECIAL be necessary on the fourth Monday of each month , and should MEETINGS therefore be regularly scheduled hereafter . Showacre Replied that once there is approval of 701 funds for Lansing , there will be a special meeting every month with Tom Niederkorn . • These special meetings should therefore be set up as occurring regularly on the fourth Monday of each month . The regular meet - ings , on the second Mondays , will be used to handle all other Board business . In response to Mrs . Miller ' s question as to how far ahead the MEETING NO- Board • members wish to be notified of forthcoming meetings , TIFICATION those present said that no one particular time is preferable to any other . Miller Work with the Planning Council will begin again shortly . The PLANNING highway and the land use surveys need additional help . COUNCIL Showacre Mentioned that the main feature in the land use survey will be a map showing the land use of each of the thousands of parcels in the Town of Lansing . He also emphasized that completion of some of the other surveys depends upon the completion of the land use survey . Messrs .
