As a side note, Jeff Clark stated that he had attended the recent meeting with the Ithaca Journal. A topic of discussion at this meeting was related to dealingswith the Health Department and the surrounding communities. He stated that he has had several problems in dealing with the Health Department. Tom O'Reilly agreed and felt that the Health Department is not cooperative. The Planning Board recognizes that the treatment of the public by the Tompkins County Health Department does not seem to be evenhanded or logical. Larry Tvaroha stated that the Town Board has also has similar experiences. Lin Davidson made a motion to close the. public hearing with the option to reopen if questions arise; Al White seconded VOIL: ALL IN FAVOR; MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY Al White made a motion to approve the four-lot subdivision as presented; Viola Miller seconded. VO/E: ALL IN FAVOR; MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY SUBDIVISION, Donald Worsell, Ridge Road and Emmons Road, Tax Map #16.-1-40.2 �® Donald Worsell appeared before the Planning Board to request approval of an 11 -lot subdivision of his property on Ridge Road and Emmons Road. The total acreage is 71 .37 acres. Larry Sharpsteen pointed out that some of the lots are quite large and might lend themselves to further subdivision if adequate access was provided. Mr. Worsell indicated that it is his intention that the parcels not be further subdivided. Viola Miller felt it would be a mistake to restrict further subdivision on these parcels because water is accessible. Robert Todd felt that Mr. Worsell's plan made good use of the land. Viola recommended an internal road. Al White agreed and suggested providing an easement to the interior parcels for a possible future road. Mr. Worsell questioned the water line going up Emmons Road. Larry Tvaroha stated that water will be available off of Emmons Road, but all costs for hook up will be absorbed by the property owners. Mr. Worsell stated that he talked with the County Planning Department, and they indicated that they will take this property out of the Ag District at their next meeting. He has already submitted the paperwork applying for including in the Water District. The Planning Board reviewed the SEQR and received a negative declaration. Al White made a motion to accept the preliminary plat for this subdivision with the provision that two 60-foot easements be provided for paper roads (through Lots # 11 , 10, 9, 4, 3, 2, and 1 ) from Route 34B and Emmons Road to the back of the property line, and to schedule a public hearing; Brad Griffm seconded. VOl L: ALL IN FAVOR; MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY The public hearing is scheduled for Monday, February 12, 1996, at 8:00 p. m. Town of Lansing Planning Board Page 3 Monday, January 8, 1996 ® DEVELOPERS CONFERENCE, Jeff Clark and Ellen Stout Jeff Clark and Ellen Stout appeared before the Planning Board to discuss possible future development of their property at the top of Myers Road (Lori's Place restaurant). Based on Jeffs knowledge of the zoning project the Planning Board is working on, and his involvement in the Economic Development Committee, he would like to share his ideas with the Planning Board. The new zoning ordinance designates this area for medium density residential. Mr. Clark questioned the benefit of these parcels as residential since they have always been commercial and near other commercial businesses. He didn't feel the property would have any value as residential. He and his wife would like to clean out the gully area between Lori's Place and the bus garage and perhaps make it a picnic area. He felt that his property and that directly across the road lend themselves to commercial use and asked that the Planning Board consider that when assigning the zoning districts. It was pointed out that in the current zoning ordinance, if a commercial use (for example, Lori's Place) is vacant for over one year, the use is no longer grandfathered. The new zoning ordinance will correct this problem. Election of Officers Robert Todd, Lin Davidson, and Brad Griffin were members of the Nominating Committee. The Nominating Committee submitted: Larry Sharpsteen for chair; Robert Todd for vice chair; and Lin Davidson for treasurer. Al White made a motion to accept the slate of officers as presented; Brad Griffin seconded. VOTE: ALL IN FAVOR; MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY Lin Davidson made a motion to adjourn this meeting; Viola Miller seconded. VOTE: ALL IN FAVOR; MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY This meeting was closed at 9: 20 p.m. Submitted by Michelle Eastman The next meeting is scheduled for Monday, January 22, 1996, at 7:30 p. m. •
