® Al White asked if any of the Site Plan Review Process had been discussed
at the Town Board meetings ?
George Totman volunteered to make sure the Town Board members all have '
copies at their next meeting .
Roger Hagin thought perhaps this should be published in the Ithaca Journal
so people could have a better understanding .
Larry Tvaroha suggested that we wait and put it in the next Newsletter .
He stated that Mrs . Kirby informed him that she intends to get another
Newsletter out in the near future .
Al White feels the idea of putting it in the next Newsletter is good ,
since it is sent • to all taxpayers . After the Newsletter goes out a date
for the Public Hearing could be set .

care of before that he will schedule a meeting . for March 25 , 1991 .

meeting , and that she would gladly take Roger ' s place for the next 3
meetings . Roger stated that he didn ' t mind going to them , but it was
alright with him if Linda Hirvonen replaces him .
Roger Hagin asked if we shouldn ' t start doing more planning , such as
commercial development & roads etc .
411 Linda Hirvonen thought maybe a committee of 3 or so would be more workable .
This committee could then report back to the Planning Board on their
progress . In addition this committee could identify areas that the Planning
L oard would need to address .
Larry Tvaroha commented that it would be a good idea to keep abreast of the
needs , and look at things , such asc Dowe have - a :need for open' space ?
L inda Hirvonen noted . . that there would be a County Planning meeting this
Wednesday night to discuss Sewer & Septic problems . The speakers will
be Noel Desch & John Anderson .
