Davidson began by opening the floor up for Public Comments . Mathew Sullivan of 204 Conlon Road requested that the Planning Board reconsider changing their Ordinance regarding setback footage in the R3 district. Mr. Sullivan plans on erecting a 3 car garage in the Spring and realizes he must apply for a Variance, however, he feels the Planning Board should take a look at the setback requirements for the entire town and strongly consider changing them back to the lesser requirement. Richard Platt explained that the Code Enforcement is currently establishing a list of possible changes/suggestions for the Planning Board to review at a later date. Harris Jones, 1 Lot Subdivision, 204 Lansing Station Road, Parcel # 15 .- 1 -23 .2 • 1 Planning Board Meeting 10/_25104 Kenneth Gorton, owner and prospective buyer Harris Jones appeared before the Planning Board requesting a 1 Lot Subdivision. According to Greg Travis, all the necessary requirements have been met. Larry Sharpsteen brought before the board that after reviewing the SEQR Workbook he did not find anything indicating that the SEQR must be completed line for line . Everyone is familiar enough with the form to determine whether or not any of the items will be answered differently, than they normally would. Mr. Sharpsteen made a motion that Mr. Davidson complete the SEQR indicating only the effects where the addition of a single dwelling would make some difference, as in energy use and solid waste. Viola Miller seconded. VOTE : ALL IN FAVOR. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Lin Davidson completed the SEQR. Lin Davidson made a motion to declare a negative declaration. Viola Miller seconded. VOTE : ALL IN FAVOR. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Larry Sharpsteen made a motion to waive the Public Hearing. Greg Travis seconded. VOTE : ALL IN FAVOR. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Anthony Hay-Informal Discussion, 1 Lot Subdivision/Boundary Change — Myers Road, Parcel # 32 .- 1 -37.422 At the September 27, 2004 Planning Board Meeting, Anthony Hay was advised by the board to obtain information on constructing a Hammerhead in order for a 3 Lot Subdivision. Mr. Hay stated that constructing a Hammerhead is cost prohibited for him, • and he would like to propose a 2 Lot Subdivision. Mr. Hay intends to built a home for himself on a portion of Lot A, sell Lot B and give Lot C to Brian Walawender for access . Eventually The Hay' s will sell the home that they will be building, and build another one further down lot A. They do realize at that time, a road will need to be built. After reviewing the map presented, it was determined that Mr. Hay' s request was reasonable. Larry Sharpsteen suggested that Mr. Hay consider the shape of the lots and location as this will need a Public Hearing. The Planning Board requested that Mr. Hay return with the Survey Map . The SEQR will be completed at that time Richard Thaler, Whispering Pines Subdivision-Phase V, Final Platt Parcel # 40 .-3 -2 . 1 Mr. Thaler advised the Board Members that Mr. Fabbroni has spoken with David Herrick, Lansing Town Engineer in regards to revisions that have been requested by Mr. Herrick. In addition, The Health Department has not given their final approval, as they are currently reviewing the Septic System design. Mr. Thaler again reiterated that he would like to name the road Tiger Lily Lane. David Herrick offered the following comments : Dear Ms. Loncto, • I offer the Planning Board the following comments in response to additional information submitted by Mr. Fabbroni to me on October 2 Planning Board Meeting 10. 2 %04 • 18th: Water System Extension 1 . Proposed Lot 22 is not located within the boundary of the Town's Consolidated District. I will suggest to Supervisor Farkas that the Town Board consider a "back-lot extension" at the regular November meeting. It is assumed that the 60 foot wide future Town road is part of Lot 22 such that an easement from Mr. Thaler for the long water service won't be necessary. If this is not correct then Mr. Fabbroni should clarify ownership on the Subdivision Plat. 2. The water valve and piping details for connecting to a future higher pressure zone should be shown at a scale that clearly defines the necessary construction both vertically and horizontally. The layout of valves should also be shown in plan view together with some notation of how connections will be made (i .e. tapping sleeve and valve at Warren Road). All water system related plans, profiles, details and specifications should be finalized in a manner suitable for approval by the Tompkins County Health Department. Road Extension 1 . Driveways for Lots 24 and 29 should connect to the new road and not Warren Road . A note should be added to the Subdivision Plat to make this clear. 2. Since Warren Road is a County Highway, the Town should receive an approval letter from the County engineer for the intersection design before Final Subdivision approval. Stormwater Management • 1 . Mr. Thaler will retain ownership and maintenance responsibilities for the stormwater management facility. It will be necessary to develop a maintenance agreement with the Town together with a permanent easement for access. The Town Attorney is familiar with this documentation and should be consulted. Further, the access drive should be located on the Subdivision Plat in addition to the general note #7 and appropriate construction details (per the description on page 11 of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan) included in the final documents. 2. A permanent drainage easement is described on the Subdivision Plat in note #7 for Lot 30. Should it be for Lot 31 ? 3. I still recommend that proposed grading of all roadside ditches and side/rear yard swales are included in the final documents. All new culverts should include invert elevations. The culvert crossing at Sta 11 +50 is labeled 18" but is 24" on the plan sheet. Per the Town Highway Specification those portions of the roadside ditch exceeding 5% must be lined with suitable rip-rap. 4. An erosion and sediment control plan was provided in previous submissions, but, was not included in the recent set. I'll need to review this plan at the earliest opportunity. Larry Fabbroni indicated that access to the retention pond would be via lot #22 if the Town should need it in the future . Thomas Ellis inquired who would maintain the ponds. Bud Shattuck indicated that Mr. Thaler owns and has the responsibility to maintain the ponds . • David Herrick explained that the Town is in the process of developing a Stormwater Management Agreement Ordinance. Currently the Town has a draft that they are using in 3 Plarninti Board Meeting 10/2504 11, the Dutch Mill Park. This draft explains who is responsible for inspections, and how many times per year this gets inspected. This particular facility is responsible for their own maintenance however, if for some reason the Town has to provide it, a fee will be charged to the owner. It was the consensus of the Planning Board Members that all corrections be included on the drawings prior to the Public Hearing. Mr. Thaler and Mr. Fabbroni were advised if the conditions are not meet, there will be no Public Hearing. The Public Hearing was set for Monday, November 8 , 2004 at 7 : 15 PM. David Herrick stated that the developing of the Maintenance Agreement and permanent easement access for this facility may be delayed. Mr. Herrick does not believe this is doable within a two week period. Mr. Fabbroni indicated that could be a condition of the Chairperson signing the Final Plat . General Dynamics Network-Cingular Communication Tower, 425 Conlon Road, Parcel # 28.-1 . 1 Ryan Janowski, agent for Cingular Wireless appeared before the Planning Board with a request to erect a 195 ' self support tower to provide wireless coverage in the immediate area. A 70 ' x 70 ' compound with a 6 ' chain linked fence with bob wired fence top . Everything would be confined within this compound to include a 11 ' x 20 ' closed shelter and the tower. Special attention has been given to place the tower as far back off the road as possible . Mr. Janowski presented a map showing all the properties boundaries within . 500 ' , and a circumferences of 1000 ' of any residences . The power and telephone lines from the road will be buried 36" underground along the access road. Bud Shattuck indicated that the town has an Ordinance that indicates there is a height limit of 80 ' . Mr.Janowski indicated if height was an issue, their Engineer can address the issue. Bud Shattuck further stated that if they wanted to sight something higher than the 80 ' or where it is not cultivated, a barn silo could be utilized. Larry Sharpsteen brought it to the members attention that the current Ordinance does not have a height limitation. Greg Travis inquired how long the lease would be . Mr. Janowski stated 25 years total. 5 initial , and 4 additional consecutive 5 year periods . The lease also includes bondage for removal . Thomas Ellis suggested that the fence be 8 ' as oppose to 6 ' . Lin Davidson stated he would like to see a gate at the end of the driveway. Larry Sharpsteen inquired about the foundation details . Mr. Janowski indicated that they are designed by the manufacturer. To Mr. Janowski ' s knowledge there has never been an instance when one foundation has come loose . Larry Sharpsteen advised Mr. Janowski that the Planning Board will require drawings for the foundation stamped by a New York State Licensed Engineer. Ryan Janowski indicated there are no lights or monitoring required by the FAA on this structure. Larry Sharpsteen stated he would like to see a strobe light on this . Mr. Janowski stated lighting was totally out of his control. • 4 Planning Board Meeting 10/25/04 • Bud Shattuck advised the Planning Board that they will be responsible for the Site Plan review process, the Town Board will be the lead Agency giving the Public Hearing, and making the final decision. Mr. Janowski will request from there Engineers to make the fence 8 ' with bob wire at the top to extend it closer to 10 ' . A gate or cable/chain with a lock and anchored bollards at the entry way. In addition, the stamped foundation drawings. Mr. Janowski inquired if the Removal Bond would be required from the Town even though it is addressed in the lease. Bud Shattuck advised Mr. Janowski that the Town Board would only require them to meet what the Code says, and that is $25 , 000 . 00 . Mr. Janowski will return on Monday, November 8 , 2004 for the Site Plan changes . Recommendations will be made to the Town Board, at which time they will set a Public Hearing date .
