Wells , H . Cogan ( who has tendered his resignation ) GUEST : Gary Evans , County Planning Depar6CPD ) The meeting was conducted as an open meeting with Mr . Evans . Io Finkeldey subdivision - off Myers Rd. . A . The Town Board has indicated they do not wish to pursue the matter ( the illegality ) . B . Section 602 , Design Standards , of SRR sets out the require - ments for a road . C . Mr . Evans suggested that Section 280A of N . Y . S . Town Law , Open Development Area , be followed in regard to the road . This is a right - of -way agreement , signed by the property owners , in which they agree that the road access for emergency vehicles is satisfae: oryo This action would protect the properte9 owners from the possibility of clouded deeds and satisfy the Town ' s question of responsibility . D . Suggestions made by Mr . Evans . 1 . Ascertain the existence of a resolution delegating responsibility for SRR from Town. Board to Planning Board . • 2 . Establish working communication with County Clerk . II . Finkeldey subdivision - off Sperry Lane A . If Design Standards of SRR are followed , this subdivision cannot be allowed due to : 1 . cul - de - sac - 600 ' frontage is required 2 . 150 ' radius of turn around B . When questioned re : 600 ' frontage , the State Depart . of Community Affairs could see no reason for this renuirement in e rural area . This indicates that a reinterpretation of an existing standard might be made . C . Mr . Evens suggested that Mr . Finkeldey consider a new plan with 10 lots and one length of road . The grade problem could be erradicated and all lots would become more acsessible for building . Economically , the 2nd half of the proposed road would be more expensive and this could be eliminated . Fewer trees would be cut in a potentially high erosion area . D . Mr . Bement felt the Planning Board could suggest to Mr . Evans thrt he stress the advantages of the above plan to Mr . Finkeldey ® III , Conclusions A . Pursue Section 280A of NYS Town Law as a method of dealing with the Myers Rd . subdivison road problem . B . Ask the Town Attorney to send a directive to tie Tomp . Cty . Clerk , stating that no subdivided land can be recorded without approval of the PB . 1 - III . Conclusions9 continued C . Check on Health Depart . notifications now being sent to the Ordinance Officer ( as a control on building in LrAnsing ) . IV . Report by Barbara Irish , Village Ordinance Officer , submitted . Evaluation of Town Subdivision Rules & Regs . V . Subdivision Rules & Regs A . Town Board has suggested changing them to an ordinance ( possible public hearing May 15 , 1979 ) B o Town Board feels there should be an administration section . C . Town Board suggests that to create an Ordinance , sections 4 & 5 be deleted and an administration sectiorl15 ) he added ® D . MOTION : In order to create a Subdivision Ordinance as per the request of the Town Board , the Planning Board moves to delete sections 4 & 5 of the present Subdivision Rules & Regs and add a section 15 on administration . So moved by B . Bement , seconded by T . Kick , carried unanimously . VI . New Development A . The County Planning Board has had advance notice of a proposed multipiedwelling building project by Rocco Lucente in the vicinity of Farrell & Warren Rds . B . If such a project is completed , the question of where to place future water & sewage lines in the Town , would in . effect be already dictated . It becomes a basic , long- range development question . C . Identity problem 1 . If water/sewer lines are placed on Warren Rd . , that area of the Town would effectively become a finger of the Ithaca urban area . 2 . How does this effect the identity of the small rural hamlets of South Lansing , Ludlowville and Myers ? 3 . It is within the scope of the Planning Board to effectively stop suburban type development with its consideration of this problem . VII . Review of Ordinance Officer ' s proposed changes in the Lans Use Ordinance . The Board found the changes acceptable , suggesting that the term General Plar be changed to Comprehensive Plan .

There were p .Iresnt : Messrs .. J mes Preston , _ est Niili. iam Stuart _i 'attrey Klein , Jca hn 't'Is {:'h. , , Larry Tvaroka , Alex Cima and Cf ? a'.iirmau :.. John Barney . The public hearing was called to order- by Chairman . • B arney on the application of Raymond F . and He i _ nD . Kulak:. os .Lmy for a variance to keep and maintain up to three horses on premises at Belvedere Drive , being Lots 20 , 22 and 24 in a low density residential area . The premises in question exceed two acres jn area but are less than the - acreage required to Reep more than one horse . Laura Holmberg , attorney for Erwin and Yolanda Pearson , appeared for the said Pearsons and explained the reason for the request . The premises are being sold to M .. and. Mrs . P earson who are also purchasing property adjoining the above lots for their residence ( known as 21 Belvedere Road ) . The property to be owned by the Pearsons is bordered on two sides ( north ar east ) by the area in the Town of. Lansing zoned as " Rural Residential " , on which theae are no restrictions for maintaining horses . The Pearsons have contracted to purchase these lots solely to provide space for maintaining their • horses and believe that the space is sufficient forth_reehors 'es , that the maintenance of horses is contemplated in the O rdinance and are maintained without restriction on adjoining lands and rigid enforcement of the acreage requirement would impose undue hardship and expense . sale of these lots cannot be consummated unless the variance cs. n be secured . Mrs . Holmberg went on to stake that the Pearsons planned t o place a rind on the premises and eventually stalls , but that there would be no pasturing . Mr . and Mrs . Pearson are now boarding their three horses in Groton and to leave theth those for any length of time would create a hardship for the .-n . Chairman Barney then invited those in opposition to t he request to speak . Jack Ettinger of 1207, Warren Road , Lansing , New York stated that the drainage area for the site that the Pearsons 411 were talking about is a swamp now . He requested • that there • • be a good engineering study Of surface run - off done affecting the low areas . He felt that the animal waste from the horses would create more of a problem in an area already a problem . The water is polluted now and he will not have drinking water until Jobb His property is 1 - 3 on tax map 39 . . $0 . r- J ' _. 7 _ `" Mrs . Annette Blakely , another owner of an adjoining property spoi� e . She tel that the area should remain a osidential area for private homes and that horses do not belong hong in the development . She is concerned about odors , etc . She feels now that the development already is in need of improvement and that the addition of horses would definitely be more harmful . She was also . concerned that many beautiful t 'f Pes would have to be cut down .. Mrs . Pearson maintained that there are already horses in the back of the development and people are already riding them all over the development sr, the add tion of three more horses would be no more harmful than the . situation as it already exists . mri . Blake' ly' ' s property is No . 39 _. 1 - 20 . 1 ' Mr . G . W . Montelc ona spoke briefly . He owns property 150 feet from the land in question He is cones •; reed • about the aroma and the presence of more horses in a residential area . He also questioned whether the granting of this variance would later on require approval of the presence of other large animals later on . Mrs . Batty Grant spoke next . She explained that at present Mr . . arid Mrs . Gallup , owners of property in the development , already have horses behind hex property . She is bothered in the summertime by . numerous flies in the house and in their swimming pool . She does not feel it would be fair to allow rno :r_ e horses as she would then be surrounded • by them . Mrs . Holmberg at this point pointed. but that the zoning requirements already would allow one horse and possibly two ' in the specified area . Mrs . Mcnt leona then identified herself and restated the arguments of her husband who spoke previously . Their p .- operty is at 15 Brook - . haven Drive in Lansing , and is tax parcel 39 -- 1 -- 20 . 14 . The public hearing was then closed at 9 : 00 p . m . Chairman Barney moved to adjourn the meeting and stated that he would like to go out and examine the property in question and invited • other Board members and anyone else who would like to do the same to accompany him, . He also suggested that the matter should be referred to the Planning Board for consideration of whether the allowance of the variance would be inconsistent with the Master Plan for development of the Town . It was unanimously agreed that the Board members would meet at the subject property at 5J5 .p . m .. on March 15 , 1979 to examine the 1. same and tt the board would then meet again on March 21 , 1972 at ' • / : 30 p . m . to T, otc . 4. .
