ment for a northward extension of water is included.

6. Warren Road Proposal � r d�1
a. Village is opposed to Warren Road Plan if)'in�terchange at
Rt. 13 and Warren is not put in the plan.
b. D.O.T. says it is not part of. the project at this time.
c. Money is available from Appalachian Regional Commission for
development of this road.
d. Village 'concerned about Dart Drive on to Warren Rd.
Harry's thoughts are: to extend Lansing North Apt. boulevard to
connect with Dart Drive near Warren Rd. entrance of Apts . and near
other apartment complexes west of Lansing -North to form a loop
eliminating Warren Rd. usage completely by Dart Drive users .
e. City concerned over Forest Hom conjestion - thoughts of a by-pass .
f. County has 2 proposals to improve Warren. Road
1. Extend Warren,! Road from Hillcrest Road intersection to go
between Warren and 'Hillcrest to meet Benson Road - 28 houses
would be effected and the cost of a new road would not be worth it.
2. Use existing Warren Road from Hillcrest to-Asbury Rd. and build
a new stetch to connect a straight line from. Warren to Benson Rd.
Also to straighten the "s" curve by the airport- runway with a
gradual return to existing Warren Rd. near Rt. 13.
D. Hardie: Suggested connecting Armstrong Rd. to Warren Rd.
Harry: It is very important for the Town Board and P.B . to
decide the importance of these proposals and if they are worth
thinking about.
The Warren Rd. , Rt 13 interchange is proposed as a
semi-cloverleaf and diamond construction. Cty. Planning Dept.
would like any input from P.B. and Town Board about this imformation.

L. H-ir.vonen: Which plan does the Department suggest ?
Harry: Probably important to stay away from Armstrong Rd. as
that is a residential area, and could easily become larger.
Wise to stay with a small plan first for the small demand.
Need to go out on actual surveys of these areas.
D. Hardie: A.S.C. has pictures of aerial view of land.
Harry: Would like to see them.
III . L. Hirvonen Thoughts
1. Census notation to be included at bottom of Subdivision Notice?
NO decided by P.B. -
Everyone must think of ways to get people to cooperate with the
Census as Town $ is based on the numbers .
P. Wells: N. Stanton has a part itme job helping with census.
2. V. Miller',s idea ; to'.get together with .other. Town P.B. representatives
for a P.B. Seminar in Lansing. Viola will moderate the meeting.
Ideas on zoning to' be the main subject.
The 4th Monday .in April- is. a suggested date.
To discuss at March loth meeting of P.B.
3. T. Kick moved to have a letter sent to Lansing.,-Lions informing_
them of funds that were raised for reconditioning the Grange Hall .
L. Montague seconded - approved unanimousYy. Linda to send .letter.
IV. Mass Mailing Report

-Challenge Industry will ; address envelopes, fold letter, stuff,,
seal , and run, through postage meter for $627 / 2000, pieces.
