PLANNING NEWS
This is a letter of information and an invitation from the Lansing Planning
Board to every resident of the Town of Lansing . The information concerns the
activities of the Planning Board , and some explanation concerning the meaning and
purpose of Town planning . The invitation is to you to take an active part in
helping '' to create a Master Plan for Lansing by cooperating with the Planning Council ,
a volunteer organization formed to work with both the Planning Board and the people
of Lansing .
LANSING FORMED A PLANNING BOARD
After many years of deliberation , on February 14 , 1967 , the Lansing Town Board
established and appointed a seven-member Town Planning Board . The members of the
Planning Board , all of whom serve without pay , represent , in so far as possible , all
areas of Lansing and a variety of business and professional interests . ( Initially ,
members will serve staggered terms of one to seven years . As each term expires , a
new member will be appointed by the Town Board to serve for seven years .
MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING BOARD
Paul ' Barron 1 Year Jerry Smith Road Farmer
Alex Cima 2 " Hillcrest Road Builder
James Showacre 3 " Graham Road Admin . Asst . , Treas . Office , Cornell
Johni Ettinger 4 " South Lansing Highway Materials , Inc .
Fred Edmondson 5 " Drake Road Director , Cornell Planning Office
Herb Ley 6 " Salmon Creek Road Ralston- Purina Veal Calf Specialist
Viola Miller 7 " Bush Lane Housewife
REASON FOR A PLAN
The recent rapid growth , especially in the southern part of Lansing , the bring-
ing of water and , eventually , sewer facilities into the Town , the need for Federal
and State money for various projects , the hope for an orderly and profitable
residential , commercial , industrial and recreational growth in Lansing„ are some of
the reasons that make planning necessary .
WHAT DOES THE PLANNING BOARD DO ?
The Planning Board obtains data on which the Town Board , which is „ the legis -
lative body for Lansing , can determine the development goals of the Town . The
Planning Board then acts only as an advisory group to the Town Board , with no power
to make Town law . It keeps the elected officials up to date on the problems of
Lansing ' s development . It continually reanalyzes the community and its position ,
and the attitudes and desires of its citizens . It puts its current thinking on
future development in the form of a Master Plan . The development of this Master
Plan will take a long time .
The Planning Board must become thoroughly familiar with all aspects of Lansing .
This has to be done by special studies which will become the basis for ' the Master
Plan . These studies will include Present Land Use Maps , an Economic Base Study , a
Soils Study , Population Study , Streets and Highway Study , a Business Study , and
other studies as needed . Coordinating all this material should be done by a
• professional planner . However , many of the surveys , gathering of existing inform-
ation and other work could quite possibly be done by volunteer groups of Lansing
residents . Lansing happens to be blessed with many people who are specially
qualified to help in all these areas . Not only could this method of doing the
studies save money , but it could also speed along the process ; even more important ,
it would give many people a better understanding of their Town and a feeling of
having a real part in planning its future .
