M . He asked for the approval of the minutes from the May 13 , 1991 meeting . Chariman White questioned Page 4 which stated that Fran Ramin made the motion not Larry Sharpsteen . • Viola Miller Mullane stated that on Page 2 it should read that she will present the concerns to the County Transportation Committee , not the Town Board . Carol Kammen moved the minutes be approved as corrected , and it was seconded by Roger Hagin . Al White explained that Carol Kammen had approached him for permission t o listen to a presentation from Cheryl Nickel on a study of Lansing as it relates to a Town Center . The study was done last year by some Cornell graduate students , and indicated that it would be about a 30 minute presentation with questions & answers . Robert Todd asked about the location of the Burris Subdivision , as he was not familiar with it , because this was his first meeting . Al White introduced Cheryl Nickel and she briefly explained that the students were given the project to work on as if they were contracted to do a Planning Study to come up with appropriate plans for a Center Town . Ms . Nickel taped ( 5 ) five different solution plans on the wall . She stated that they started off by preparing a book beginning with 1920 and then compared Lansing with other small towns in this state , as well as neighboring states . The students looked at what had happened in other areas , and explored what could be possible here . Ms . Nickel explained the Pros & Cons of each suggested solution . The general focus was to concentrate on the Commercial Development around the area of the Rogues Harbor Inn , the Town Hall , and down East Shore • Drive to Atwater Road . One of the plans showed the Town Ballfields across the road on the State Land with Residential Development in its place . There was strong emphasis put on locating the parking facilities in the rear of all development to give a better planned appearnace of a Town Center . Carol Kammen questioned if it wouldn ' t be a good idea to have some kind • of monument or marker to establish and identify the Town since there is no core . Several thoughts were discussed concerning commercial area zoning etc . The point was raised that a comprehensive plan might be a good idea . L arry Sharpsteen mentioned that the Town and the State are the largest single property owners within the proposed Center Town area . D iscussion followed as to the Historic preservation of the Rogues Harbor Inn , and how much it would cost to restore it . A general discussion took place as to the changes proposed and what to expect in the next few years if we do not start planning now . Chariman White thanked Ms . Nickel for all of the time she has put into this , and also for coming and sharing these ideas with the Planning B oard . Al White expressed the thought :-that .Iperhaps we c, codld '_ .have .a display of these plans somewhere this summer ? Larry Tvaroha stated that he could ask the Town Board for their input . Al White recognized George Schlecht who was present to represent Ivan Burris . Mr . Schlecht explained that Mr . Burris would like to have permission to sell off one parcel of land that had already been approved in a Subdivision Parcel # 38 . 1 - 16 . 2 George Schlecht stated that the reason is that Mr . Burris does not • feel that he could support carrying the extra assessment for the total property if the full subdivision were to be filed at this time . If he could sell two lots now and later get the Health Department approval for the remaining lots and file the project it would be of benefit to him now . D iscussion was generated as to how Mr . Burris could sell two parcels from the main subdivision . Carol Kammen moved to approve Mr . Burris ' request to sell one1iarge parcel , and that the next sale would have to involve the total Major Subdivision . It was seconded by Larry Sharpsteen upon receipt of a surveyed plan and signed by the Chairman of the Planning Board . It was carried by five ( 5 ) members of the board with one abstension . Al White recognized Robert Coates who is representing Marshall Volbrecht Tax Map # 37 . 1 - 7 - 3 . 2 for a ( 2 ) Two Lot Subdivision on Drake Road . Carol Kammen questioned whether we would be land locking the major parcel . It was explained that there is a 25 foot road frontage to the larger parcel . The one acre lot was questioned because it only has 147 foot o f frontage and the Health Department requires 200 foot . Al White stated that Mr . Volbrecht would have to get a variance from t he Health Department . Larry Sharpsteen suggested that at the next meeting at 7 : 45 P . M . we could approve the Preliminary Plat , and at 8 : 30 hold the Public Hearing pending Mr . Totman receiving a copy of the variance from the Health Department in time for the advertising . ( 2 ) JAMES EVANS - 1 LOT SUBDIVISION ON TAX PARCEL 1) 37 . 1 - 2 - 35 located on • Sharon Drive . Chairman White recognized Robert Coates representing the Evans proposal to divide their lot into two lots , with the new lot being located on the corner of Sharon Drive North . Carol Kammen reviewed the SEQR Documents , and this was declared a Negative Declaration . Larry Sharpsteen made a motion to approve the one lot as presented and to pass on the public hearing . It was seconded by Carol Kammen . The motion was unanimously carried . Carol Kammen moved to adjourn the meeting at 10 : 01P . M . It was seconded by Larry Sharpsteen . Respectfully Submitted.
