The minutes were approved unanimously . LUSK SUB - DIVISION There was a discussion by the Board members pertaining to the Lusk Sub - Division having been approved , according to last month ' s minutes ; and a public hearing had been held . Gary Wood commented that the final public hearing was waived due to the fact that all the Lusk S ub - Division material was in good order . Chairman White advised IIIMr . Lusk that he needed to bring in his drawings for signing . S ITE PLAN REVIEW - U . P . S . Mr . Donald Gratzer , project engineer for U . P . S . , was present to report on the status . He reported that they would be building a 14 , 700 square foot concrete facility to house the vehicles . He also stated that there would be a fuel island , which would have the capability to store 10 , 000 gallons of gasoline . He also noted that the Health Department had completed water and septic t esting , and all was satisfactory . The Planning Board members discussed the fact that the Town Board had recommended a 60 - ft . buffer on three sides of the project . It was discussed that this may pose a traffic hazard for the t raffic on Warren Road . Mr . White suggested as an alternative , a turn - off lane , off of Warren Road , into the Industrial Park . Mr . Gratzer stated that the Town Board had suggested four rows of pine trees as a buffer . VIOLA commented that fifteen years from now , all that would be left are stubs , and therefore , it would not be an effective buffer in the future . The Board members all agreed . A sign was also discussed . CAROL KAMMEN stated that probably one sign would be sufficient for the entire Industrial Park . The Board agreed to let U . P . S . put their logo on the building . • - 2 - • LARRY SHARPSTEEN stated that he thought the Planning Board could accept an easement being granted for the turn - off lane , if they could procure it through their negotiations . Mr . Gratzer was concerned about that cutting into their " green space . " LARRY reassured him that that would not be the case if the Planning Board recommends the turn - off lane . L INDA HIRVONEN made a formal resolution that the preliminary site plan , as presented by United Parcel Service be given preliminary approval and sent to the Town Board , with the conditions that the Town Board consider a turning lane on the west side off Warren Road . Number two , that they reconsider their buffer requirement , and that a sign for the entire park be created , rather than a bunch of individual signs .

THE motion was passed unanimously . • KIM SUB - DIVISION No one was present . CIMA PUBLIC HEARING CHAIRMAN WHITE stated that a public hearing could not be held because of some confusion with the dates on the notices that were mailed .

CHAIRMAN WHITE stated that they could present their material , that there would be three members from the Planning Board present at the Wednesday ( 11th ) meeting , and it was not necessary to have a quorum . MR . JOHN BARNEY stated that it was all right with him , as long as it was legal . MR . BARNEY inquired as to when he might be able to obtain preliminary approval .

BARNEY reported that some lots have already been approved for septic , but there were others that the health department had reservations about . L INDA HIRVONEN requested a written statement designating which lots had been approved by the health department , and which lots were being held . MR .

The Town of Lansing Planning Board recommends to the Town Board that fees for subdivision of land in the Town of Lansing be restructured to reflect the costs to t he Town . We unanimously recommend that in a minor subdivision , t he developer pay $ 10 for each lot ; that within a major sub - d ivision of fewer than 20 lots , the developer pay a cost of $ 25 per lot ; and in major subdivisions of 20 lots or more , there be a fee of $ 50 per lot , not to exceed $ 5 , 000 per development . Also that the costs for private consultations with the Town Attorney or Town Engineer shall be borne by the developer . In addition , where an environmental impact statement is required , the developer will pay all costs for reviewing and preparing of that statement , and that the developer and the Town will share equally the costs of holding a public hearing . LARRY SHARPSTEEN seconded the motion . A vote was called . The motion was carried , with one abstaining , VIOLA MILLER - MULLANE . RESOLUTION NO . 2 : In view of the fact that the Town of • Lansing has maintained for at least twelve years Village Circle S outh , which runs from Warren Road into the Lucente property , it is recommended to the Lansing Town Board that this road be declared a Town Road to be treated hereafter as any other road within the Town of Lansing . L INDA HIRVONEN seconded the motion . The motion was passed unanimously . RESOLUTION NO . 3 : The Planning Board of the Town of Lansing recommends to the Town Board that the easement which appears on t he approved map for the O ' Rear property , filed with the County Clerk on November 14th , 1975 , running from Sun Path to the north , and which was removed from further maps by Mr . O ' Rear when the property was sold , be restored . In view of the development along Route 34 in the area of the O ' Rear property , it is important that that easement north be re - established so that a link might be made to the Nichels - Leathers development , named Eastlake . We recommend that the Town Board instruct the Town Attorney to take any legal action necessary so that the easement is restored ; and we suggest that any necessary action be taken as soon as possible .
