32 would have clearance for the airport. They did not want it to be developed into a lot of
33 houses because that is in line with the runway.
34 Bud Shattuck : It is low level industrial research so it can have buildings in there.

7 Mr. Mikula states he is selling 3 acres with his home at 158 Asbury Road due to possible
8 relocation of his wife ' s employment. Mr. Mikula is going to give his brother a right a
9 way to the existing pond that is on his property. The pond will not go with the house.
10 Also, there is a second pond which Mr. Mikula intends to give to his cousin. Boundry
11 changes will need to be done prior to the selling of his house . This flag lot Mr. Mikula
12 would like to sell .
13 Nancy Loncto questioned Mr. Mikula as to why he didn' t do the subdivision all at once .
14 Mr. Mikula is unsure as to when his house will sell .
15 Gregg Travis : Do we want to make two accesses from Armstrong Road into one
16 driveway assuming in the future that that other remaining 36 feet could be another
17 request for a flag lot.
18 Larry Sharpsteen : It ' s possible .
19 Viola Miller: Mr. Mikula would have to make that wider according to our regulations .
• 20 Larry Sharpsteen : Not try and make it a road.
21 Bud Shattuck : I thought we ' ve had discussions recently about not having side by side

29 other flag lot acceptable to develop in that spot. Mr. Mikula must return to the Planning
30 Board with results of a Tompkins County Health Department Perk Test prior to final
31 approval. This will be part of the general pattern of Patrick Mikula' s plans of dividing

0 37 Pat Conlon, Proposed Ordinance changes
•
Amended 06/23/03
. Mr. Conlon presented a letter to all Planning Board members regarding his
2 feelings/concerns over the proposed Ordinance changes . At the Public Information
3 meeting held on June 4, 2003 , Mr. Conlon was shocked to find out that a portion of his
4 land is proposed to be rezoned for two districts. Many of the people who attended the
5 meeting on June 4, 2003 were given responses to their questions he feels he ' s entitled to
6 some of his questions answered. Mr. Conlon has since spoke to his neighbors, they do
7 not appear to agree with the changes any more than he. Mr. Conlon voiced his opinion to
8 the Board regarding the "carving up" of his property as well as 4 other residents to the
9 South.
10 Viola Miller: If it ' s labeled B1 and people can continue to have their houses there, it can
11 stay residential. Just because it says B1 what does it do to it?
12 Pat Conlon : I can ' t have a roadside stand, if I sell my property it ' s in two different zones .
13 Lin Davidson: I think as we were looking at sewer and water coming in, the Town Land
14 zoned B1 has some issues with that it. I think the intent was to square up the Bl .
15 Viola Miller: Sure it was, but not assuming that the people who were there was
16 residential . I didn ' t think we were creating a hardship for people .
17 Pat Conlon: I would like to have you people take a long look at where you' re putting
18 Commercial Development. The nature would be to push away from the residential zone,
19 instead of into it. My biggest concern is in changing from one zone to another that much
20 land and that many neighbors why at least wasn ' t some information passed out.
• 21 Viola Miller: That ' s why we 're having all these informational meetings, so you can come
22 in and talk with us .
23 Nancy Loncto advised Mr. Conlon that the Town Board will take further Public
24 comments at their regular Town Board Meeting scheduled for June 18 , 2003 @ 7 : 00 PM.
25 Kirby, James, Jeannine & Keith — Preliminary Plan, 5 Lot Major Subdivision- Buck
26 Road Parcel # 29-1 -37.6
27 Mrs. Kirby explained to the board that they have reduced their subdivision from a 6 lot to
28 a 5 lot .
29 Gregg Travis : There isn 't any access from Buck road to the remaining lots .
30 Jeannine Kirby: Yes there is up above, going East .
31 Larry Sharpsteen : I' m going to recuse myself from the vote, but I ' d like to comment. I
32 think that the concerns that the board presented at the last meeting have been answered. I
33 think what we ' re left with here probably other than the extreme depth of the lots is pretty
34 much inline for what we ' ve been looking for.
35 Gregg Travis : We need to classify this as a Major Subdivision
36 Tom Ellis : I would like to make the motion to accept the drawing and move forward to a
37 Public Hearing. Lin Davidson seconded . VOTE : ALL IN FAVOR. MOTION

3 Loncto, Stephen & Nancy — Informal Discussion, 39 Hillcrest Road- Tax Parcel #
4 44.- 1 -5. 1
5 Mr. Loncto appeared before the board requesting their advice. The Loncto ' s are thinking
6 about building another house and would like to know if it would be possible to subdivide
7 their current land and build a new home at the other end of their property. The current
8 Ordinance required 40,000 . 00 sq. feet per lot. After reviewing an old survey map ( 1983 )
9 it states it contains 1 . 94 acres plus or minus . Another map dated ( 1993) shows 1 . 67 acres
10 net to the right of way. If you take the 1 . 94 acres, multiply that by 43 , 560 it comes out to
11 84,506. 00 sq. feet if we consider the gross size of the lot. If you multiply the 43 ,560
12 times 1. 67 (net size of lot) you end up with 72 ,745 . 00 sq. feet. The Loncto ' s request
13 would be to subdivide using the gross size of the lot. Mr. Lontoc has spoken with Janice
14 Koski from The Tompkins County Health Department regarding a conversion of the
15 current 4 bedroom system to a 7 bedroom. A couple other considerations have been
16 made, one is to purchase land from the neighbors (Warren Road and Hillcrest) but still
17 that land would be unusable to the Loncto ' s and would not help with the setbacks .
18 Lin Davidson: I really don' t think it ' s the purview of this board without a ruling from the
19 Zoning Board of Appeals.
20 Viola Miller: The Zoning Board of Appeals often like the recommendation from the
21 Planning Board.
• 22 Steve Loncto : If the septic system goes to a 7 bedroom situation they would have to
23 allow for enough room . .
24 Bud Shattuck: If you have to subdivide where the sand filter sits now, it will determine
25 where part of your property lines will be. There are setbacks from that also . You can ' t
26 subdivide down the middle of your sand filter.
27 Lin Davidson: What is the policy on net versus gross?
28 Richard Platt : It' s never been an issue. I will check with the State and the County.
29 Larry Sharpsteen: The problem I didn' t think of was, if you ' re moving out of the duplex
30 than it becomes a duplex and not a Mother-in-law apartment. You can not create a
31 nonconforming lot which that would be.
32 Lin Davidson: The current Schedule now says 40, 000 sq feet per dwelling unit .
33 Bud Shattuck: The duplex can stay, but you couldn 't put anything else on it.
34 Comments of proposed Ordinance changes
35 Larry Sharpsteen: In regards to Fiddler' s Green "tuff". None of the land that is adjacent
36 to them is ever going to be developed as a Trailer Park on the Lakeshore. The arguments
37 are nimby, they want what they want and they don ' t want to pay any attention to the good
38 reasons for having it Ll .
• 39 Lin Davidson: Trailer Parks are behest to the Town Board and there is no way they would
40 allow them there.
•
Amended 06/23/03
• 1 Bud Shattuck : Why are Mobile Home Parks in that area?
2 Lin Davidson: I think we would save some grief if we just take them out.
3 Bud Shattuck: You can take them out of L1 & R3 . After the last public informational
4 meeting, probably the majority of the Town Board members will grant the RI status for
5 Fiddler' s Green. The IR will cut off flush prior to getting to Farrell Road as was
6 requested as oppose to coming all the way up on the edge. There ' s new language for the
7 definition of R3 , you might want to go back to the definition that was there before.
8 Viola Miller: How can we put most in, it didn 't make any sense when I tried to read it
9 this afternoon.
10 Larry Sharpsteen : I' ll go along with that.
11 Lin Davidson: I would definitely put it back.
12 Viola Miller: I make the motion to change the language under the definition of R3 and
13 remove Trailer Parks from L1 and R3 . Lin Davidson seconded. VOTE : ALL IN
14 FAVOR. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
15 Nancy Loncto : I will read and change slightly what we have in the new Ordinance.
16 The intent of the R3 District is to designate areas where the use of the land will change
17 from the most traditional uses of the community to a more residential development
18 depending on introduction of water and sewerage. Regulations and standards in the R3
19 District are intended to guide density and establish the criteria and conditions for
• 20 development of the land driven by the reality of land values .
21 Nancy Loncto : I would move that we make this change recommendation to the Town
22 Board. Larry Sharpsteen seconded. VOTE : ALL IN FAVOR. MOTION CARRIED
23 UNANIMOUSLY.
24 Bud Shattuck: The Conlon request is reasonable . Normally you wouldn' t split some ones
25 property that ' s why taking that out of there is a reasonable request.
26 Lin Davidson: His question is really, he has to look across at a different zone. Basically
27 if we did the 300 foot rule that ' s been done in the past down to the line you do in fact
28 split a 40 acre field, but if a fields big enough you ' re going to split anybodies property.
29 Larry Sharpsteen : The only reason to put BI out there is to have some sort of buffer
30 between residential and the prison as far as I 'm concerned.
31 Lin Davidson : You really don 't have an area for Commercial development to occur in the
32 town in any kind of area where you could development an area. The issue of a B1 being
33 all the way to Pat Conlon' s if it' s properly landscaped, there is a burm and nicely
34 developed there ' s more control over what happens to that land in a B1 than any where
35 else. My recommendation would be either leave it or give it a 300 foot standard line (half
36 B1 and the rest R3 ) .
37 Viola Miller: Frankly, I don' t care .
38 Larry Sharpsteen: The main reason I see to keep that way in the BI is because that' s
39 about the only possible access to the rest of the BI other than thru the State Land. I object
Amended 06/23/03
• 1 to changing what we ' ve already done, either there, Fiddler' s Green or anyone of these
2 other places .
3 Bud Shattuck: No one has been able to really explain Pat' s piece to him and I think that ' s
4 what his contention was. Why did we do it there? We 're still struggling as to why, other
5 than Lin ' s clarity.
6 Lin Davidson: Actually, I think when we drew the line it was to square things off We
7 were not looking at Pat ' s property.
8 Viola Miller: I think you ' re right.
9 Nancy Loncto : Two reasons, to make some sense of squaring things off, and to make sure
10 we had parcels large enough to account for a real commercial development .
11 Lin Davidson: If the need is there, Bud can communicate different ideas to the Town
12 Board.
13 Bud Shattuck: The 100 foot set back in the B1 has been brought to our attention by
14 Bentkowski and Scriabba. (Schedule II)
15 Viola Miller: I think that should be changed.
16 Lin Davidson : We definitely want reverse frontages.
17 Larry Sharpsteen: I think I see the point. If you have a business and your lot is 120 feet
18 deep and you have to put your business back 100 feet off the road, that ' s stupid. We were
19 looking at what felt good, but it just doesn ' t work out.
• 20 Bud Shattuck: The closer to the road your businesses are, the slower traffic goes .
21 Lin Davidson: I don' t think we should be slowing traffic on our major connectors . In the
22 RA on 34 and 34B we looked to have a greater set back on the major connectors for
23 residential .
24 Larry Sharpsteen: On number 2 you say 60 feet in the B1 & B2 and leave the rest of it
25 the same.
26 Nancy Loncto : Number 2 should read :
27 There is a minimum front yard setback of 100 feet from road
28 right-of-way on Routes 34, 34B , Warren Road and North
29 Triphammer. Other roads minimum setback of 30 feet from
30 road right-of way. There is a minimum front yard setback
31 of 60 feet in B1 , B2 on Routes 34 and 34B and other
32 roads as may be designated as Major Connectors in the
33 Lansing Comprehensive Plan.
34 Larry Sharpsteen: I move to adjourn. Lin Davidson seconded. VOTE : ALL IN FAVOR.
35 MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

22 Board. Larry Sharpsteen seconded. VOTE : ALL IN FAVOR. MOTION CARRIED
23 UNANIMOUSLY.
24 Bud Shattuck: The Conlon request is reasonable. Normally you wouldn ' t split some ones
25 property that ' s why taking that out of there is a reasonable request.
26 Lin Davidson: His question is really, he has to look across at a different zone. Basically
27 if we did the 300 foot rule that ' s been done in the past down to the line you do in fact
28 split a 40 acre field, but if a fields big enough you ' re going to split anybodies property.
29 Larry Sharpsteen: The only reason to put B1 out there is to have some sort of buffer
30 between residential and the prison as far as I 'm concerned.
31 Lin Davidson: You really don' t have an area for Commercial development to occur in the
32 town in any kind of area where you could development an area. The issue of a B1 being
33 all the way to Pat Conlon' s if it ' s properly landscaped, there is a burm and nicely
34 developed there ' s more control over what happens to that land in a B1 than any where
35 else. My recommendation would be either leave it or give it a 300 foot standard line (half
36 B1 and the rest R3) .
37 Viola Miller: Frankly, I don't care .
38 Larry Sharpsteen: The main reason I see to keep that way in the 131 is because that ' s
0 39 about the only possible access to the rest of the B1 other than thru the State Land. I object
• 1 to changing what we ' ve already done, either there, Fiddler' s Green or anyone of these
2 other places .
3 Bud Shattuck: No one has been able to really explain Pat ' s piece to him and I think that ' s
4 what his contention was. Why did we do it there? We ' re still struggling as to why, other
5 than Lin ' s clarity.
6 Lin Davidson: Actually, I think when we drew the line it was to square things off We
7 were not looking at Pat ' s property.
8 Viola Miller: I think you ' re right.
9 Nancy Loncto : Two reasons, to make some sense of squaring things off, and to make sure
10 we had parcels large enough to account for a real commercial development .
11 Lin Davidson: If the need is there, Bud can communicate different ideas to the Town
12 Board.
13 Bud Shattuck: The 100 foot set back in the B1 has been brought to our attention by
14 Bentkowski and Scriabba. (Schedule II)
15 Viola Miller: I think that should be changed.
16 Lin Davidson: We definitely want reverse frontages .
17 Larry Sharpsteen: I think I see the point. If you have a business and your lot is 120 feet
18 deep and you have to put your business back 100 feet off the road, that ' s stupid. We were
19 looking at what felt good, but it just doesn ' t work out.
• 20 Bud Shattuck: The closer to the road your businesses are, the slower traffic goes .
21 Lin Davidson: I don ' t think we should be slowing traffic on our major connectors . In the
22 RA on 34 and 34B we looked to have a greater set back on the major connectors for
23 residential.
24 Larry Sharpsteen : On number 2 you say 60 feet in the B1 & B2 and leave the rest of it
25 the same.
26 Nancy Loncto : Number 2 should read:
27 There is a minimum front yard setback of 100 feet from road
28 right-of-way on Routes 34, 34B , Warren Road and North
29 Triphammer. Other roads minimum setback of 30 feet from
30 road right-of way. There is a minimum front yard setback
31 of 60 feet in B1 , B2 on Routes 34 and 34B and other
32 roads as may be designated as Major Connectors in the
33 Lansing Comprehensive Plan.
34 Larry Sharpsteen : I move to adjourn. Lin Davidson seconded. VOTE : ALL IN FAVOR.
35 MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
