EXAMPLES In Vermont we do not have to look very far for examples of these communities. The Vermont village is a model for a community center. The typical village has an array of uses centered on a tight pattern of streets . Often the focus of the village is a common or green where streets come together and public buildings are located. Within the village one can live, shop, go to the post office, get a dog license, have a cup of coffee , work in an office , listen to an outdoor band concert, or go to church. Buildings in the village are two or more stories high, often with apart- ments over shops . They front on sidewalks. Along the street is parking. Beyond the edge of the village is the countryside, typically open meadow land or forest land dotted with rural homes - distinct from the village. Randolph , Woodstock, and Middlebury are examples of these communities . The village centers 1 of these towns are compact - ranging from 120 to 160 acres in size . Within these centers there are a wide range of land uses , including single family dwellings , apartments , stores, offices , town government facilities , parks , town greens , streets, and industry. In Middlebury ' s downtown there are 430 dwelling units, most of which are single family , and 425 ,000 square feet of com - mercial space. Each of the village centers lies on a major river that provides a focal point as well as many opportunities for recreation. Within the centers street networks provide the framework for development_ In the heart of the villages commercial buildings sit right on the sidewalks next to the street; in the residential neighborhoods houses are 15 to 30 feet front the street with landscaped front yards. Most buildings are two stories or more in height. Ell a. f _ . - . may t\leils------i j; :: • , , • ♦ ♦ �1 1 � . >r< � � s � � ! 1 So tt � tSear ' II e ` .

DVISORY COMMITTEE MEMBERS RE : TOWN MEL 1 II'NG - L4NSING 2010 PROJECT : /aryl Nickel Tuesday, June 29 , 7 : 30 - 10:00 own Meeting is next Tuesday night, in the High School Cafeteria . We are asking one a from every Committee to give a short progress report ( 5 minutes or less ) , to be 'ed by 5 minutes for the audience to respond . With so little time , we will note people ' s ons and tell them that we can better address them following all the Committee reports , people will be invited to talk informally with Committee Members . We hope that all ittee members will be able to attend ( possibly some can phone others . ) Judy Saul will conduct the meeting : she will keep presentations on schedule , direct the 5 minute ace response time , and be able to deal with emotional situations that may come up . i good idea for the presenter to " rehearse " what they are going to say to ensure that it .er 5 minutes . THE PRESENTATION BY EACH COMMITTEE IS AN INTERIM PROGRESS ,T AND SHOULD NOT DEAL WITH SPECIFIC ANSWERS OR SOLUTIONS - BECAUSE NONE HAVE DECIDED UPON . For example , " Our Co,nunittee has been meetin since and we )egun to consider these particular iss . ( anid , you may want to say ) , " e looking at these options: . and we welcome any of you who are sted . in this topic to join us ! " ( With Enthusiasm ) OR "These are the issues we are g at and these are some of the possibilities se come a few minutes early so we can write a few sentences summarizing your itation on a large sheet of paper. way to get input during your presentation is to ask two or three questions that your ittee needs more information about. ( It is also a good way to encourage people to join : ol�ittee . ) there may be people attending with intense feelings and people who think we .y have answers , here are some suggestions on how to respond to questions or ttions that you may encounter during the informal discussion period afterwards : r people to the answers in " Rumor Central " in the Newsletter. notes on peoples comments and questions during the informal discussion time . people may state a position - " No new Taxes " and " No Changes " . One way to respond be : Some people may state a position - " No new Taxes ! " and " No Changes ! " s a tough issue and we ' re talking about it in our Committee - will you join us ? " r comments are openings for listening to what people are saying , which you can use prase what they have said . ( Example ) , " I don ' t want anyone telling me what to do with my land " . ( Response ) " So from your point of view, you ' re concerned that someone might be taking away your control of your land? ( See CDRC sheet for more suggestions ) . nks - I think we 'll get a lot of positive response to the effort we 've put , in ! s an opportunity to hear people, rather than try to convince them of anything . The mportant thing is to let them know you really are trying to hear them . r tj .0.-- 2 . 2 . THE CONCEPT OFA TOWN CENTER ® 2 . 1 . WHAT IS A (JRN 11. R ?

Hanson, Jr. 18 June 1993 Telephone (607) 274-5560 CommiMipe€ gnTotman FAX (607) 274-5578 31 Church St McLean, N Y 13102 Dear George : I apologize for having to rush off yesterday , but I had a previous commitment unknown to Jim Hanson at the time the schedule was rearranged. As I indicated to you previously on the phone, currently the TIGER file map is the only road file map we have available until the NYSEG project is completed around the first of September. A few years ago we worked on a project for the Town of Dryden, where because we had digitized the tax parcel maps for the town as part of separate grant work on the Aquatic Vegetation Control Program/Lake Management study. We where able to generate a road map for the Town as a result of this previous effort. However, this map did not have on it the private roads, or many newer town roads. Dryden indicated that they would keep a record of changes as subdivisions, etc . were constructed or as new town roads were added. ® Information on road changes by local municipalities has not in the past reached our office except by way of the assessment maps . Even the County' s official road map is substantially out of date. One of the substantial rationales for the NYSEG project was to generate an accurate and current (as of 1992) road map of the County and in turn for each municipality. Once maps are produced, each road segment will have to be tagged as to appropriate ownership. This information will have to be gathered as part of a cooperative effort between the County and each of the municipalities. Therefore, as I discussed with you previously on the phone and briefly yesterday, the TIGER map represents only an interim solution. Since the NYSEG maps for the rural areas will be finished in a few months, and also our current level of commitment to a number of other projects, it isn ' t feasible for the Department to commit to generating another interim map at this time.

Totman Code Enforcement Officer GLT / dsc TOWN OF LANSING Planning Board Monday, June 28, 1993; 7:30 p. m. PLANNING BOARD (* Denotes Members Present) * Lin Davidson * Cheryl Nickel Grace Haney * Larry Sharpsteen, Chairperson * Linda Hirvonen Robert Todd * Viola Miller Al White * George Totman, Zoning and Code Enforcement Officer * Larry Tvaroha, Town Councilman Larry Sharpsteen called the meeting to order at 7:35 p.m. Lansing Town Meeting The focus of this discussion revolved around the upcoming Town meeting scheduled for 6 / 29 / 93, for which Cheryl Nickel presented a tentative agenda for review. Larry Sharpsteen recommended that each committee chairperson make the presentation instead of the Planning Board liaison. Cheryl is encouraging as many committee members to ® attend as possible to answer as many questions as possible. Cheryl stated that each committee will have approximately five minutes to give an overview of the committee and its progress to date with five minutes for questions for each presentation. Instead of answering all the questions after each presentation, there will be time allotted at the end of the agenda. Viola Miller and Larry Tvaroha agreed that allowing at least a couple of general questions after each presentation would give everyone the opportunity to participate. Linda Hirvonen also would like to allow some questions in between, since at the last town meeting there seemed to be some concerns expressed by the public who didn't feel comfortable bringing up questions later in the agenda. Cheryl stated that there will be designated areas with display tables for each of the committees. Larry Sharpsteen questioned Larry Tvaroha as to the feelings of the Town Board about this project. Larry Tvaroha stated that feedback has been positive from the Town Board. George Totman commented that he has had some negative feedback from the public. Larry Sharpsteen stated that negative feedback he has heard is related to the slow progress of this project. George Totman stated that the negative feedback he has heard is from Bud Howell and Frankie Lechner. They are both in strong opposition to the proposed changes for Lansing. Linda Hirvonen stated that the Master Plan Committee has been feeling under a great deal of pressure. She didn't feel that this committee would be able to complete its large task by the ® October deadline, since most of the members of this committee have never been involved in this type of project before and have had to learn before they can begin to accomplish. Town of Lansing Planning Board Page 2 Monday, June 28, 1993 Larry Tvaroha stated that the Town Board is concerned about future development of Ridge • Road, especially if water goes to Milliken and tourism expands. Larry Sharpsteen asked Larry Tvaroha to draft a letter of the Town Board's concerns to share with the committees to help keep them focused on the important topics and areas of concern. Cheryl Nickel stated that she will be preparing a worksheet to guide the committees in defining their objectives, if they haven't done so already. Linda Hirvonen questioned how the committees could establish better intercommunication. She didn't feel there was enough time to share all the information between the committees. Larry Sharpsteen suggested that there needs to be more joint meetings between the ' committees to better enable the sharing of information. He also suggests that the summaries - from each committee include more specific progress and details. Another suggestion was to leave any specific questions for a . certain committee in their "mailbox". to get a response and recommendation. << Linda Hirvonen suggested devoting a meeting to developing questions for each committee. Larry Sharpsteen suggested that only the chairperson or Planning Board liaison approach people with questions relating to the committees. Larry Tvaroha recommended that all the questions or requests flow through the liaisons to initiate. Larry Sharpsteen stated that all questions from the public at themeeting will be written down for discussion. Some will be answered as they are presented, others will be addressed within the individual committees. Larry also stated that he will invite everyone to become involved in the committee of their choice to share their opinions and ideas. Cheryl Nickel stated that the Ithaca Journal will be represented at the meeting, and the meeting will be videotaped. Cheryl will ask that Judy Saul invite everyone present at the meeting who is involved in the committees stand up so that everyone else can see who is involved. Larry Tvaroha stated that the Town Board will be represented at this meeting as well. " The will be a comment box available for written questions and comments. GIS Maps Lin Davidson stated that he and Viola have gone to a meeting regarding the GIS maps. He stated that the GIS system is a combination graphical- picture, where maps can be generated, and a database. The County is working on this project, and will have information on Lansing in September. Lin would like to get the Town Board's consensus and support in getting the County to look at Lansing first, and to look at graduate students to help input the data. Lin felt that for between $5,000 and $10,000 the town could get some really useful information. Larry Tvaroha stated that he will prepare a letter to the County in support of the Planning Board's activities. George Totman stated that Jim Scalley will be making a - presentation to the Planning Board at the July 12 meeting. George Totman stated that in his conversations with the County, they will be getting the information in September and then start working on the maps, which might take a couple more months. Lin Davidson felt that if the Planning Board could use the students from Syracuse University who have had experience with this system, the project might proceed more quickly. Town of Lansing Planning Board Page 3 Monday, June 28, 1993 4111 The Underground Larry Sharpsteen stated that The Underground has received their health permit, and will be opening on July 9. He explained that the owners were at a point where Mr. Anderson was going on vacation for two weeks and going to delay his decision until his return. Larry was approached by the owner and suggested, as an individual not a Planning Board member, that he contact Mr. Anderson and request that the decision be delegated to someone else, since the delay of a decision would be a severe financial hardship for the restaurant. The outcome was that the case was reviewed and The Underground was granted a permit to operate. Larry Sharpsteen briefed the Planning Board on this issue because the owner copied his letter to the Planning Board. Lin Davidson made a motion to adjourn the meeting; Linda Hirvonen seconded. VOTE: ALL IN FAVOR; MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY Meeting adjourned at 8:45 p.m. Submitted by Michelle Eastman • LANSING TOWN PLANNING MEETING 6 / 28 / 93 PROPOSED AGENDA FOR " LANSING 2010 " TOWN MEETING JUNE 29 ( 5 min. ) INTRO & WELCOME - JUDY SAUL Judy will cover ground rules , including explaining that people have an opportunity for questions at the end of presentation , explain videotape. ( 5 min. ) HISTORY OF THE PROJECT - LARRY SHARPSTEEN ( 5 min. ) DESCRIPTION OF THE PROCESS - CHERYL NICKEL We don' t have any answers yet, ( 80 min. ) COMMITTEE PRESENTATIONS AND COMMUNITY RESPONSE MASTER PLAN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES STREET TREES HISTORIC RESOURCES COMMUNICATION PARKS & RECREATION TOWN CENTER ( 30 min. ) OPPORTUNITY FOR INFORMAL DISCUSSION WITH COMMITTEE MEMBERS ALSO - SCHEDULE UPDATE - SEPTEMBER = OBJECTIVES & DECEMBER 1st = RECOMMENDATIONS QUESTIONNAIRE ABOUT MEETING? TO : ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEMBERS RE: TOWN MEETING - LANSING 2010 PROJECT FROM : Cheryl Nickel Tuesday , June 29 , 7 : 30 - 10:00 The Town Meeting is next Tuesday night, in the High School Cafeteria . We are asking one person from every Committee to give a short progress report ( 5 minutes or less ) , to be followed by 5 minutes for the audience to respond . With so little time , we will note people ' s questions and tell them that we can better address them following all the Committee reports , when people will be invited to talk informally with Committee Members . We hope that all committee members will be able to attend ( possibly some can phone others . ) Judy Saul will again conduct the meeting : she will keep presentations on schedule , direct the 5 minute audience response time , and be able to deal with emotional situations that may come up . -It is a good idea for the presenter to " rehearse " what they are going to say to ensure that it is under 5 minutes . THE PRESENTATION BY EACH COMMITTEE IS AN INTERIM PROGRESS REPORT AND SHOULD NOT DEAL WITH SPECIFIC ANSWERS OR SOLUTIONS - BECAUSE NONE HAVE BEEN DECIDED VPON . For example , " Our Committee has been meeting since and we have begun to Consider these particular issues : . ( and , you may want to say ) , " We are looking at these options: _ . and we welcome any of you who are interested in this topic to join us ! " ( With Enthusiasm ) OR " These are the issues we are looking at and these are some of the possibilities . " - Please come a few minutes early so we can write a few sentences summarizing your presentation on a large sheet of paper. - One way to get input during your presentation is to ask two or three questions that your Committee needs more information about. ( It is also a good way to encourage people to join your committee. ) -Since there may be people attending with intense feelings and people who think we already have answers , here are some suggestions on how to respond to questions or accusations that you may encounter during the informal discussion period afterwards: - Refer people to the answers in " Rumor Central " in the Newsletter. - Take notes on peoples comments and questions during the informal discussion time . - Some people may state a position - " No new Taxes " and " No Changes " . One way to respond would be : Some people may state a position - " No new Taxes ! " and " No Changes ! " " That' s a tough issue and we ' re talking about it in our Committee - will you join us ? " - Other comments are openings for listening to what people are saying , which you can use to rephrase what they have said. ( Example ) , " I don ' t want anyone telling me what to do with my land " . ( Response ) " So from your point of view, you ' re concerned that someone might be taking away your control of your land? ( See CDRC sheet for more suggestions ) . Thanks - I think we 'll get a lot of positive response to the effort we 've put in! This is an opportunity to hear people , rather than try to convince them of anything . I "he most important thing is to let them know you really are trying to hear them.
