Mr. • Barnard owns parcel # 31 . - 1 - 5 at 148 Ridge Road . He stated two or three years ago , the Town talked about a bikeway that would cross over the front part of his property . Mr. Barnard 1 +„1 Town a" Lansing Planning Board S Monday, May 12, 1997 Page 2 suggested having a truck route directly across from Portland Point Road and run paralle 34B and eventually come out on the town owned property and connect to Route 34 directly across from the Town Hall Annex . The road could have a sidewalk or the bike trail run beside it , which would be safer if it were out in the open . Mr. Barnard stated he was not a planner, this was only a suggestion , and felt it would solve many problems . He also suggested Cargill helping out with the cost of a new road . He felt B I should be extended at least 500 feet back to allow for possible changes and was willing to be flexible when the time comes .

The Planning Board agreed to leave it as RA and felt that neighborhood could approach the Planning Board after the Ordinance is passed with a petition to change it . Informational Meetings Viola felt the Ordinance should be available to anyone who wanted to look at it before hand and then hold an informational meeting . She was not in favor of the neighborhood meetings but would go along with what the Board felt was best. She thought each district should be discussed • at separate tables then bring all the information and comments together and present that to the public . Having a lot of argument on the floor at one time does not accomplish anything . Lin Davidson liked the idea of giving a general overview and then discussing it in separate r ons . Larry Sharpsteen was in favor of having both informational and neighborhood meetings . He also felt it was not the time for complaints but only for questions and information . The comments could then be presented to the Town Board at the Public Hearing . Viola stated two public hearings would be needed if anything was changed to the Ordinance at the first Public Haring . Larry did not anticipate the informational meetings as having public input. There will comments , but the Planning Board will not take them and go back to change anything in the Ordinance . Viola did not know why they didn ' t just let them look at the Ordinance then go to a Public Hearing . Larry Sharpsteen stated they discussed that but decided that wasn ' t gooc. enough , they felt the public needed to be lead through it first . Lin stated they needed to decide whether they were going to have one informational meeting or go with the neighborhood meetings . Larry felt they would get more turnout with the neighborhood meetings . Viola wondered how they were going to publicize the meetings ? Larry stated it would be in th4 Ithaca Journal , Community News , radio spots and hand outs if necessary . Matthew Shulman suggested public TV Video broadcast or the Casey Stevens radio talk show.
