Tom will revise that section of the Ordinance, one with the appeal in and one without, pending on Town Board approval . Tom Neiderkorn added if the Planning Board were to abuse site plan review and the SEQR process, the Town Board can remove Planning Board members . Tom Neiderkorn will make all the appropriate changes to the Proposed Zoning Ordinance, Schedules and Zoning Map. Any questions that may arise, Tom will contact Larry Sharpsteen for consultation. Brad reminded the Planning Board and Tom Neiderkorn that Jeannine Kirby suggested separating each district of the Ordinance so it would be easier to read . Larry explained someone were to come into George, he could just hand them RA or R1 . Tom stated it would be easy enough to do . Larry requested it be done before the neighborhood meetings . Matthew stated he spent along time deciphering it and suggested it even be color coded with the zoning map . Neighborhood and Public Meetings After extensive discussion regarding the dividing of neighborhoods, it was decided to contact the Town Clerk or Board of Elections to look at the voting districts . The Planning Board felt it would be much easier to determine neighborhood meetings by their voting area. Each P • Town of Lansing Planning Board Tuesday, May 6, 1997 Page 3 neighborhood meeting would discuss all the different zones in that area. General Discussion Viola gave Larry Sharpsteen a copy of the book, The Short Course, Basic Guides for the Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals . Viola suggested that each Planning Board member and the liaison to the Town Board have a copy for reference. When their term expires, the book would then be passed on to the new member appointed. Larry felt the book would be a useful tool and would vote on it Monday, May 12 at their regular meeting. Larry stated there were enough funds in the budget to purchase these books. The Planning Board authorized Matthew Shulman to publish the draft copy of the Proposed Zoning Ordinance along with the draft zoning map . Matthew felt the cost would be around $600 . 00 for 7, 000 copies if there were three folio pages . Mr. Shulman stated he would have to play with the pages to determine the exact cost, but the Planning Board would maintain complete control. The Planning Board agreed to let Matthew have a diskette with the map on it so he could properly adjust the size for his paper. Mr. Shulman stated it doesn ' t serve the newspaper to frustrate the citizens of the town, he wouldn' t publish it without all the changes agreed to in tonight' s meeting . • To clarify spot zoning, Tom Neiderkorn stated the Board could not rezone a piece of land whether it was one or two parcels, solely to benefit that particular person. If everyone on that road petitioned to change the zoning, it would be allowed. Tom gave an example, if you have a small portion that is zoned commercial such as NYSEG, and everything around it is residential, that is not considered spot zoning if it is in the comprehensive plan. Included with the handouts and minutes distributed was an article describing spot zoning. George Totman had copied this for each Planning Board member to read. This meeting was adjourned at 9 : 11 p .m. Submitted by Sue Davenport The next meeting is scheduled for Monday, May 12, 1997, at 7: 30pm.
