• subdivision of this land and Hautaniemi said thatathere was no room for
any additional house."

as he was concerned about furher development of this land - locked parcel .

he was not in favor of it but he had a new appreciation of the protection
zoning provides and he thought the Town should have better zoning laws.

Louise Bement asked from where the water for the new lot will come . Mr.
Bernard, Ms. Hautaniemi ' s father, noted that the new owner would put in a
new water line at the owner' s expense, hooking up to the available public
water on Myers Road.
Richard Daley asked about the access from Myers Road. White noted that
the upper end of the abandoned road would would be permanently closed
and access to the driveway on the Hautaniemi lot would be by going around

KATHY KESSLER: Ms. Kessler returned to the Planning Board with an
amended lot line, Road frontage is now 70' as opposed to the 20' originally
porposed. The Planning Board waived the 100' requirement and expressed
its appreciation that Kessler had been able to bring her lot into
compliance. Sharpsteen moved that we accept the Kessler subdivision.
Hagin seconded, and it was approved unanimously.
MAHOOL -TALLMAN MAJOR SUBDIVISION: Charles Tallman, partner, and
Scott Hughes of Fred Thomas Assoc. made a presentation and submitted
letters concerning the proposed subdivision on Lake Shore Circle:
Town of Lansing, inre: SEAR, showing negative declaration
Tompkins County Health Department
Howard Groat re: roads
Roger Yonkin, of DOT re: access to the development
Assessment Office, re: status of agricultural land
Citizens Saving Bank , re: financing
• They also submitted a copy of the Restrictive Covenants for the property,
which is to be called LAKEWATCH.
Hirvonen noted that the concerns of the Town Engineer Mr. Miller, inre:
drainage and stated that he has requested more time to review the plans
before he issues an opinion.
Scott Hughes discussed the drainage plan. The increased drainage to the
land to the south is approximately 15%, but the Board expressed its
concern about any increase of the water flow to the south, thereby
creating a problem for someone else. Hughes noted that there would be
culverts along the road up to Smuggler' s Path and water would be directed
into existing ditches. Mr. Miller will review these plans.
Sharpsteen questioned the size of the frontage for lots 33 , 39, and 27, in
particular, where there is not 100 feet of frontage, and he asked about the
easement to the south. There is a southern easement on the map, from
Windjammer Way, which could link up to the northern easement shown on
map of Eastlake. There are several points where the road into this
411 subdivision touches the northern boundary and access in that direction is
also possible.

The Planning Board noted that there are still several things that need to be
completed. They are:
■ letter from the Town inre: water
■ approval by Mr. Miller of drainage plans
■ road frontage on cul de sacs to be determined, and adjusted to
at least a minimum of 60' , care being taken that no lot
falls below one acre in size. Some lot lines will need to
be adjusted and the lots need to be sized after the area
for the cul de sac is removed from each parcel .
■ letter inre: Section 902 , stating the Special Circumstances
that demand less than 100' frontage on some lots.
Mr. Tallman noted that he still plans to provide parking and access to a
marina at the western end of the parcel .
Tallman is to return on September 26 for a special meeting of the Planning
• Board with all the required approvals. A Public Hearing will be scheduled
for October 10 if all materials are satisfactory to the Planning Board.
ALAN WHEELER MINOR SUBDIVISION:
Mr. Wheeler requested a one lot subdivision of Lot 73 on Acres Drive. This
area had previously been subdivided by Mr. Cima, and those plans are on
file in the County Court House. Wheeler is planning a major subdivision on
this land but only wanted a one lot subdivision at this time. The lot will
not have frontage on any existing town road. The Board noted that where a
road is not present , the category of action is that of a Major Subdivision.
The Board attempted to find a way to aid Mr. Wheeler because it was under
the impression that there was a specific buyer involved. This proved not to
be the case. Mr. Wheeler spoke about his needs as a builder.
Hirvonen moved that we table this motion and ask Mr. Wheeler to prepare a
letter stating his financial hardship concerning this lot. He has been
invited to attend the next meeting of the Planning Board and was
instructed to call Mr. Totman for a place on the agenda if he desired to
return.
ALEX CIMA: HORIZONS VILLAGE:
Alex and Candy Cima requested permission to begin work on Village Six.
Sharpsteen moved that we grant aproval for Village Six. Hagin seconded,
and it was approved unanimously.

JAY OREAR : MAJOR SUBDIVISION ON SUN PATH
Mr. Orear was represented by Mr. Williamson who submitted sketch plans
for a Major Subdivision. This plan excludes those lots that are part of Mr.
Orear' s Minor Subdivision, lots now owned by Orear, Bonfield, Kammen and
Beischer.
The Orear Major Subdivision will include: lots on the south side of Sun
Path, two lots on the north of the road, and three lots along the lake.
There are twelve lots in all .
The Planning Board requested from Mr. Williamson:
■ map showing the easement to the north which Mr. Orear removed
w ithout approval from previously approved
subdivision plans now on file at the County Courthouse
■ further data regarding Orear' s land on the lake and how it
w ill be accessed
■ health department approvals
• ■ plans for a water district
■ SEOR long form
■ a complete map showing lot sizes
Mr. Williamson explained that in 1975 there " was probably a
misunderstanding because Orear believed he could go North or South with
easements, and he removed the northern easement. "
White said that he and Hirvonen had attended a Town Board special meeting
a week ago concerning the Orear property. He noted the need to bring Orear
into compliance. He noted that Mr. Thaler, the Town Attorney , is working
on replacing the northern easement, and that this problem will have to be
solved to our satisfaction before our final approval is given for this Major
Subdivision.
White also noted that a Major Subdivision in this area will require a
change in the water line that now serves the Minor Subdivision.
Negotiations about these two topics are underway.
Sharpsteen moved that we accept this Major Subdivision sketch plan,
subject to the outcome of the negotiations between the Town Attorney, Mr.
Williamson, and Mr. Orear, which are aimed at bringing Orear into
compliance.

i Hirvonen noted that with our request for additional data we have placed
the Orear application for a Major Subdivision in a holding pattern.
She directed that Mr. Williamson report to the Planning Board by 12
December, 1988, at which time the Baord may act upon the subdivision
request, or grant a further extension. No vote was taken at this time.
The Planning Board asked to meet with the Town Attorney on September
20, at 7: 30 , concerning the Thomas and Dyckman properties as this new
plan of action concerning the Orear Major Subdivision will further delay
these two owners who bought land in good faith only to find their title
clouded.
At the end of the meeting the Planning Board returned to the issue of the
Hautaniemi property on Myers Road. There was an extended discussion
concerning this property. Concern was expressed about the possibility of
future subdivision. Board members expressed their opinion that no further
subdivision should be permitted.
• Mullane moved that we approve a one lot minor subdivision of the
Hautaniemi property which is not to be further subdivided, and is to be
used for a single family dwelling. The access to this property will be by a
permanent easement to be maintained by the owner and never to become a
Town road. By approving this, the Planning Board waives the requirment
that all properties in the Town have frontage on a public road. However,
due to the lack of frontage on a public road, and the sensitive nature of the
terrain in the area, and the questionable nature of the subdivision which
skirts the regulations, it was stated that this Board would find it very
difficult to entertain any further subdivisions of the remaining Hautaniemi
land.
Sharpsteen seconded.
White called for a roll call vote: Mullane, yea; Ramin, yea; Hirvonen, yea;
Sharpsteen abstained; Hagin, yea, Kammen, no; White, no. The final vote
was four in favor of granting this one lot subdivision , two opposed , with
one abstention.
The Planning Board discussed further Mr_ Wheeler' s request for his one
' lot minor subdivision. The Planning Board requested that Mr. Wheeler file
a request for a Major Subdivision for his entire parcel of land. Mr. Wheeler
will be so notified.

George Totman discussed the problem of a recreational park proposal for
land along Salmon Creek. It was decided that the Planning Board had no
jurisdiction because this is not a division of land ; but the Planning Board
did note that Salmon Creek is an environmentally sensitive area and it is
in a flood plain zone.
It was noted that approval for use of this land by seasonal recreational
vehicles and trailors would require:
I Health Department approval
I SEOR, long form filed with the Town Board,
a DEC approval .
The Chairman adjourned the meeting at 1 1 : 05 pm .
