I . PUBLIC HEARING - 7 : 30 PM
Calvin Swayze proposed minor subdivision .
Four lots located between Ludlow and Lansing Station Rds . , officially known as
48 Ludlow Rd . Access to the lots is by a right - of - way across land owned by
Jeff Sweayze .
L . Hirvonen asked Jeff Sweayze if the dimension of the right - of - way as seen on
the Final Plat submitted by Mr . Swayze was the same on his deed . He answered yes .
• L . Hirvonen asked who will provide maintenance for that part of the right - of - way
shared by all four lots . Mr . Wilson replied that all deeds will state that each
owner will be financially responsible , on a pro - rata basis , for maintenance of
that portion shared by all . In addition , New York State law doesn ' t allow land
to be landlocked . The law requires that an easement be provided either through
a written document or by constant use .
Mr . Swayze indicated that in the past he has provided general maintenance and
he will continue to do so .
The restriction on further subdivision found on the Final Plat will be expanded
to include " without approval of the Planning Board . " .
Stephen Carroll , landowner adjacent to Lot I , has expressed an interest in pur -
chasing a portion of Lot 1 . Will he be allowed to do that if no further sub -
division is allowed ? It was the general consensus that since there would be
the same number of lots and the same number of owners that it would be allowed .
• Mr . Swayze has requested hardshipstatus and
special action .

The meeting was reopened by Chairman Homa .
MOTION : Since all documents seem to be in order and there have been no objections
from the public , it was moved by C . Kammen to provisionally approve Mr . Swayze ' s
minor subdivision at 48 Ludlow Rd . , with formal adoption to take place at the
regular meeting on Oct . 13 , 1986 . Seconded by H . Beckwith , carried unanimously ,
II . Mr . & Mrs . Bertrand Buck - subdivision , Buck Rd .
See minutes 3 - 24 - 86 . Mr . Buck was granted 6 months in which to provide a complete
survey map of the subdivision .
Let the minutes show that Mr . Buck was present at the prescribed time interval ,
but because his survey map is still not ready and this is not a regular meeting
• for the Planning Board , the Bucks have been asked to return at the next regularly
scheduled meeting , Oct . 13 , 1986 .
Mr . Buck questioned the proper procedure if an adjoining land owner wishes to
buy a portion of the adjacent lot which has a Town drainage ditch and isn ' t
suitable for building . Again , it would be the realignment of lot lines and the
Board didn ' t feel it would necessitate subdivision action .
III . Fiddlers Green - Gerald Wells - update
Letters have been exchanged between L . Holmberg , attorney for Mr . Wells and
the Town Attorney , Robt . Williamson .
IV . Cima - New Horizons Review - rescheduled for Oct . 13 , 1986

planning , zoning , code = enforcement person . Mr . Wood is currently a part - time
employee . Board members agreed that there is a definite need and the Town Board
should be consulted .
