Article XVII , Signs : The Board suggested that illuminated signs be allowed to function only during the time of normal business hours . It was the feeling of the Board that Mr . Niederkorn had been overly generous in the sign dimensions specified by him . Craig The sections on appeals and planned development have not yet MASTER been received from Mr . Niederkorn , who feels that he must give PLAN all the material to the printer by the end of June ; he expects to have the job back from the printer by July 31 . Mr . Craig believes that with all that Mr . Niederkorn has to accomplish in the next two weeks , it will be impossible for him to get this as yet unwritten material to the Planning Board before it goes to the printer . Miller Asked if it would not be possible for the Board to at least see • these sections . Craig Mr . Niederkorn is on such a tight schedule now , that it will be impossible for him to let the Board see these sections . Even though the Board has made a great contribution , the report which comes out will be Mr . Niederkorn ' s report to the Board . What the Board should then do is to take the report and its own de - tailed recommendations to the Town Board . There may be things in the report with which the Planning Board does not agree . The Town Board should be informed that the report represents the advice of the Town Planner as a consultant . The Planning Board should send the comments that have been made , along with any others that may come up , to Mr . Niederkorn so that he can get the report to the printer by the end of June . Craig Asked for ideas on how the report should be handled after it has been received from Mr . Niederkorn . Miller Feels she would have to see it first . Craig His feeling is that the Planning Board should put together in one bundle Mr . Niederkorn ' s report , the Subdivision Regulations , and the Trailer Ordinance . These will be submitted to the State , but not necessarily in the Plan . There should be a package pre - 411 sentation of the Master Plan and the Planning Board ' s recommenda - tions . There should be no piecemeal presentation , and the Plan - ning Board should strive for internal consistency . Minutes , LANSING PLANNING BOARD , June 14 , 1971 , Town Hall , Regular Meeting , page 3 Miller At the Town Board meeting on June 11 the question was raised • by Mr . Naegely as to the status of the Subdivision Regulations and the Trailer Park Ordinance . Craig Asked that the comments made this evening on the Zoning Ordinance be put into letter form for transmittal to Mr . Niederkorn . The Board agreed to this handling of the matter . Miller Brought up the matter of the vacancy on the Planning Board , and PLANNING whether the Planning Board should suggest names or let the BOARD matter of filling the vacancy rest entirely1with the Town MEMBER Board . It was the consensus that several names should be VACANCY presented to the Town Board . Edmondson Suggested that Mrs . Miller and Mr . Craig select three names for presentation to the Town Board after ascertaining that the persons whose names are to be presented would be willing to serve on the Planning Board . Craig Would select names , but will not so ascertain . The meeting was adjourned at 9 : 40 p . m . • •
