Al White , Chairman , called the meeting to order at 7 : 32 p . m .
Frances Ramen stated that due to the lack of a quorum , the approval of the
411 January minutes should notbe done .
Al White reported that the Town Engineer has made his report in writing
concerning the Marc Leathers Subdivision , Tax Map # 27 . - 1 - 21 . Mr . White
is also in receipt of a letter from the Tompkins County Health Department ,
again stating that they have no problem with the layout of this Subdivision .
Furthermore , the distance from the proposed septic system to the Sweazey
well is beyond their requirement .
Mr . White stated further that all parties met on the premises , and after
that meetinga representative from the Tompkins County Health Department
also re-visited the proposed site , and gave his opinion of the situation .
He feels that Mr . Leathers has met all the requirements of the Town of
Lansing , as well as the Tompkins County Health Department . In view of
all of this it is felt that any questions about the distances involved
e tc . , have been resolved .
Frances Ramen stated that it resolves it with her as well , but shewants
t o be certain everything is being handled properly .
Al White reminded that Board that the motion to accept the Marc Leathers
Subdivision had previously been made , and read very clearly that once
the conditions had been met it would automatically be passed . Mr . White
feels that David Herricks letter covers the subject thoroughly , and that
the correspondance from the Tompkins County Health Department is further
back up .
Frances Ramen questioned the original motion as to when the Subdivision
• would be officially passed ..
Larry Tvaroha stated that he agreed with Roger Hagin & Al White , with
regard to the conditions of the motion having been met , and therefore
the Subdivision should be automatically passed .
Roger Hagin stated that he feels that the Board has done everything
t hey could do .
Al White re - read the original motion that was made , and stated that he
interprets it as enacted . Roger Hagin agreed .
Al White noted that although a Quorum is not present , the Board could
still hear from the public present tonight . This may help guide , and
prepare the Board for the meeting on February 25 , 1991 .
CLIFFORD BUCK , SUBDIVISION ( 2Lots ) TAX MAP # 27 . - 1 - 26 . 2
It was stated that the intentions for this subdivision would be to
sell off the land that the barn is on , and sell the house and surrounding .
land .
Mr . White asked Mr . Buck how many subdivisions this would bring him up to
on this particular parcel of land . It was decided that the two ( 2 ) tonight
would make it six ( 6 ) , and thus classify it as a Major subdivision .
This would require a Public Hearing .
Mr . Buck asked if he could give the one back that he has had approved , but
is not going to develop , to bring the total number down .
Al White stated that there is a possibility the Board couldcancel one ,
but the two ( 2 ) coming up would still require a Major subdivision to be
d one . Discussion followed as to the size of the property around the
barn .
® Al White explained that if there had not already been 4 divisions , the land
where the barn is located would not need to be considered , because of the
size . Discussion followed as to what constitutes a subdivision ?
Al White stated that all the Board wouldreally have to do is go ahead
and schedule a Public Hearing after the preliminary plat is approved
at the February 25 , 1991 meeting .
Al White again stated that he sees no problem , however , the Board has to
go through the proper channels .
It was decided that there would be two ( 2 ) meetings later during the month
of February , one on the 25th , and one on the 26th . It was stated that the
meeting on the 26th is the joint meeting of the Town with the Village of
L ansing .
Clifford Buck asked that : Board if hewould have to have a survey done prior
t o the Public Hearing . Al White stated that he did not think so . Mr .
Buck asked if he could have the. previous Public Hearing made Null & Void ,
since he has no intention of using it .
Al White stated that Mr . Buck could at the next meeting ask to have the
previous one. made Null . & Void .
Al White stated that if one is voided , it would reduce the number of
subdivisions to three ( 3 ) , and that the next one would put it into a
Major , and also the board would be required to hold a Public Hearing .
It was left that the Board would review the preliminary plan at the
meeting on the 25th of February , 1991 , and set a Public Hearing for .
March 11 , 1991 .
DEAN SHEA SUBDIVISION ( Collins Road & Asbury Road ) TAX MAP II 38 - 1 - 38
This would be a 3 lot subdivision , with each lot being . approximately
1 Acre , with 200 ' feet of frontage .
Al White stated that a Public Hearing will be required . Discussion
regarding the Zoning followed . It was determined that the one corner
lot lies within the rural zone .
Al White stated that it appears to meet all the requirements .
Frances Ramen asked Mr . Shea if it was flat land , and whether or not any
wetland is involved .
Al White explained to Mr . Shea that this proposed subdivision would be
processed on the 25th of February , 1991 , and a Public Hearing scheduled
for March 11 , 1991 .
STEVE BAUMAN , TAX MAP # 17 - 1 - 17
Mr . Bauman requested a boundary change on parcel /i 17 - 1 - 17 . He explained
that the plan he has prepared shows four ( 4 ) larger lots which do not require
approval . The corner lot which is owned by Mr . Cook is the area he is
✓ eferring to , and requesting a boundary change . It. is Parcel A bordering
on Brown Road .
Al White explained that due to the fact that we do not have a Quorum , nothing
could be officially approved , but also that he could see no reason that
the requested boundary change could not be approved as presented when a
Quorum is present . This request will again be presented on the 25th of
411 February .
Frances Ramen asked what frontage would be Parcel A ? It was decided that
it is the cornerlot with approximately 420 ' foot on Salmon Creek Road , and
300 ' on Brown Road .
Mr . Bauman asked if he should be at the meeting on the 25th . Mr . White
✓ esponded stating that he felt the Board had enough information to
authorize the Boundary change at the February 25 , 1991 meeting .
Al White asked Roger Hagin to provide some details as to the Joint
Meeting with the Village of Lansing , scheduled for February 26 , 1991 .
Roger Hagin stated that the meeting would be informal , and would be an
.
attempt to get the two Boards acquainted , and more compatible . One of
the topics to be discussed would be how Zoning & Roads between the Town
and Village interact .
Frances Ramen suggested that perhaps a poll should be taken , because she
knows she will not be available to attend this meeting , and there may be
o thers unable to attend as well ..
Larry Tvaroha expressed interest in attending this meeting .
The meeting was adjourned at 11 : 00 p . m .
