VOTE: ALL IN FAVOR MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY BOUNDARY CHANGE, Munson Road and Town Line Road, Tax Map #20.- 1 -7.1 (Robert Walpole) Mr. Walpole appeared before the Planning Board to present maps and answer questions in regards to the location of the properties, status of buyers for the properties, and tax map numbers. • Aboundary change which occurred prior to this application was ordered by a bankruptcy court. - The remaining property, which is all under one tax map number, is no longer actionable by the Planning Board under current subdivision regulations. Larry Sharpsteen commented that under the guidelines, any property that exceeds three acres and 300 feet of road frontage and up to five lots, as long as it did not involve new utilities or a new road, could be subdivided without action from the Planning Board. Larry Sharpsteen also added that under the new regulations, the • number of lots was lowered to four. Al White clarified with Robert Walpole that this would require only a boundary change. The Planning Board members want to acknowledge Mr. Walpole for bringing this matter to the attention of the Planning Board and for the fact the he brought a letter of agency from the bankruptcy judge . Larry Sharpsteen moved to approve the boundary change ; Roger Hagin seconded. VOTE: ALL IN FAVOR MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY SIX-LOT SUBDIVISION, Luce Road, Tax Map #20.- 1 -30.2 ( Gregg Travis ) After reviewing the past file , Linda Hirvonen clarified with Gregg Travis and the Planning Board members that Mr. Travis had previously sold three lots, and by currently requesting a two-lot subdivision , this automatically puts this request into the major subdivision category, with the remaining property being the sixth lot. Al White informed Mr. Travis that with any major subdivision, a public hearing is required as well as a survey of the property. A SEQR was reviewed and received a negative declaration . Larry Sharpsteen moved to approve the preliminary plat presented; Roger Hagin seconded. VOTE: ALL IN FAVOR MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY Gregg Travis was informed that a public hearing would be scheduled for Monday, January 13 , 1992, at 8 : 00 p .m . • 2 • TWO-LOT SUBDIVISION, 444 Jerry Smith Road, Tax Map #9.-1 -27 (Allen Cobane and Randal Swearingen) Randal Swearingen, on behalf of Allen Cobane, appeared before the Planning Board to request approval of a two-lot subdivision of property that the Jerry Smith Road trailer park is located on. Allen Cobane currently owns the trailer park ; Randal Swearingen wants to purchase the trailer park, while Allen Cobane wants to retain the property to the north of the park. George Totman informed Mr. Swearingen that the Planning Board can give preliminary approval, but final approval is contingent upon the approval of the Town Board regarding the relicensing of the trailer park. After reviewing the subdivision guidelines, it was determined that there could be only six trailers per acre. With the boundary changes proposed, the trailer park would still be in compliance. The Planning Board members agreed that they only want to see a right-of-way through the trailer park off Jerry Smith Road. A SEQR was reviewed and received a negative declaration . Linda Hirvonen moved to approve the preliminary plat; Larry Sharpsteen seconded. VOTE: ALL IN FAVOR MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY Randal Swearingen was informed that a public hearing would be scheduled for Monday, January 13 , 1992, at 8 : 15 p.m. • COMMITTEE REPORTS Cheryl Nichols reported that she had been in contact with Joe Lusk at the Lansing Elementary School in regards to the idea of a survey of the community. Mr. Lusk approved of the idea indicating that the survey could also include topics of interest to the school , as well as some issues that the Fire Chief would like to address. Cheryl Nichols also reported that she had met with Raymond Buckley and got his approval for such a survey. Cheryl indicated the possibility of making this survey educational for the kids at the same time gathering valuable information about community concerns. Cheryl discussed the possibility of collaborating with the City and Regional Planning Office at Cornell University (Stu Stein) and their students by having them assist in the development and design of the survey, dissemination of the survey, analysis of the results, and a plan for implementation of the results. George Totman added that the survey could be included in the next mailing of the Town Newsletter. Larry Tvaroha commented that the Town Board is also interested in what the community wants for its future. Cheryl Nichols added that she had spoken with the County Planning Office regarding maps of the Town of Lansing. She discussed the electronic mapping system (Geographic Information Systems [GIS]) that is currently being used by the County Planning Office. The figure quoted to Cheryl for getting useable maps would be approximately $5,000. It was agreed that this topic would go back to the Committee for futher investigation. On behalf of the entire Planning Board, Al White complimented Cheryl Nichols on her enthusiasm and the tremendous amount of work she has done. • 3 • NOMINATING COMMITTEE . Viola Mullane suggested that the Chairperson of the Planning Board be compensated for the amount of work that is required which includes large numbers of hours on the phone at home, time required to check up on agenda items, and follow up on critical issues of concern. Viola Mullane suggested that the Town Board consider remuneration to the Chairperson for all the added duties. Larry Tvaroha said the the Town Board would take this suggestion into consideration and would probably conduct a survey of surrounding towns as to whether they offer remuneration and if so, at what rate. Larry Tvaroha also added that perhaps this issue should have been discussed while the budget process was taking place, but will check into it. Members selected to be on the Nominating Committee are : Al White, Robert Todd, and Viola Mullane. There being no further business, the Planning Board meeting was adjourned at 10:30 p.m. Respectfully submitted, it' Michelle R.
