701 Planning Session , Special Meeting
PRESENT : Mr . Peter H . Craig , Chairman ; Miss Louise Barr , Mrs . Viola Miller ;
Messrs . Paul Barron , Samuel Baughman , Frederick Edmondson ,
Stephen Farkas
The meeting was opened at 8 : 30 by the Chairman .
Craig Announced that a letter had been received from the New INTERSECTION
York State Department of Transportation saying that the TRAFFIC
installation of overhead traffic signs at the intersection SITUATION
of Route 13 and North Triphammer Roads is impractical . It
was decided that the Planning Board should write again to
the State Department of Transportation and send with the
letter substantiating photographs of the dangerous situa -
tion at this intersection . Mr . Craig will arrange for the
photographs .
There was a discussion of the Development Policy draft DEVELOPMENT
which had been presented by Mr . Niederkorn at the meeting POLICY
• of March 8 , 1971 .
Miller Presented the changes which she feels are desirable in the
draft document .
This was followed by a general discussion , with an accept -
ance of the changes noted on the draft given to Mr . Nieder -
korn .
Craig Does not feel that the essential character of Lansing has been
set forth plainly in the draft - - that is , that Lansing runs
north and south and should in effect be handled as two dif-
ferent areas . This should be spelled out clearly in the
Development Policy .
Edmondson Stated that one of the peculiar characteristics of Lansing
is the great difference between the north and the south sec -
tions of the Town .
Miller Is assuming that when the Planning Board has ascertained what
the Town Board likes or does not like , the Planning Board will
then accept or reject various parts of the Mobile Home
Ordinance .
