• Al White , Chairman, called the Planning Board Meeting to order at 7 : 35 p .m.
GENERAL BUSINESS
Carol Kammen's Resignation
Chairman White notified the Town Planning Board that he had received a
resignation letter from Carol Kammen. She had begun to feel that her other
commitments along with that of the Town Planning Board was too much.
Chairman White asked for recommendations for her replacement. Viola Mullane
suggested that in reviewing recommendations for the Board that the person have
a broad view of the town instead of a small area . She also recommended that the
Board have two or three names to choose from . Larry Sharpsteen recommended
Barney R. Termina, who works for J . Lowery. Roger Hagin suggested perhaps a
business person. Viola cautioned to watch for what kind of person, since they may
have a conflict on interest on issues presented to the Town Planning Board. Linda
Hirvonen mentioned that Carol Kammen had suggested a replacement, Cheryl
Nickel.
Viola made a resolution to recognize Carol Kammen for her ten years of service
• and many contributions to the Town Planning Board. This resolution received
unanimous support.
• NYSEG Tour
George Totman announced that NYSEG has invited the Town Board and the
Town Planning Board to a tour of Milliken Station on Wednesday, August 14,
1991 , at 7: 00 p.m.
Professional Town Planner
Discussion involved the idea for a professional town planner. Everyone agreed
that Tom Neiderkorn has done a good job on a part-time basis . It was suggested
that perhaps he may not be up to date with the latest techniques, but he is
sensitive to the needs of the town . Since he has worked for the Town for many
years ( since 1967), he is very knowledgeable about the Town. The Planning Board
felt it would be a mistake to bring in someone new since they might not be quite
as sensitive as Tom is . The consensus was in favor of keeping Tom to do more
work for the Town . Perhaps setting goals for Tom would increase the amount of
his work.

• Roger Hagin read the Notice of Public Hearing at 8 : 00 p .m. as published in the
Ithaca Journal on July 18 , 1991 .
Don Ellis from Cornerstone Land Planning appeared before the Planning Board to
answer any questions that the Board or public may have. Mr. Ellis presented a
survey map of the proposed subdivision to the public in attendance . A member of
the public questioned regarding the water problems and what was going to be
done about them. Mr. Ellis stated that a drainage ditch was to be developed and
initially maintained by them . Eventually the Town of Lansing would take over
the maintenance of the ditch . A detention pond was also a possibility of helping to
alleviate some of the water problems . The dwellings would be single-family homes
with three, four, or five bedrooms . There are tight restrictions on the deeds , but
not much price restrictions on the homes . There are to be separate sewage
systems on each lot.
Another concern raised by a member of the public was the protection of a great
horned owl that lives in the trees on the land of the proposed subdivision . Mr.
Ellis read in the covenant that no tree with a diameter of more than 8 inches or of
mature height (over 30 feet) will be removed without approval of the committee.
This , he felt, would possibly provide some protection of the owl's habitat. Larry
Sharpsteen commented that he didn't want anyone to be disillusioned because
• 2
• when the development begins that owl will most likely leave since its living area
will be disturbed.
The Public Hearing was dosed at 8 : 17 p .m .
Roger Hagin stated that he felt adequate discussion has been made to answer any
questions regarding this subdivision . Linda Hirvonen motioned that the Planning
Board approve the Briarwood subdivision as presented ; Larry Sharpsteen
seconded the motion.
VOTE : ALL IN FAVOR
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY
There being no further business , the Planning Board Meeting was adjourned at
8 :30 p. m.
Respectfully submitted,
