General Business :
Nancy Loncto called the Planning Board Meeting to order at 7 : 15 PM .
Tompkins County Waterfront Revitalization Program
Joan Jurchowich from The Tompkins County Planning Department gave a brief
presentation on the proposed SEQR Adoption process . As Lead Agency, the Town would
be required to send out a letter to all six (6) Municipalities and the Department of the
State seeking concurrence on being the Lead Agency. Each community will be given a
thirty (30) day period in which they can object to Lansing being the Lead Agency, or they
can choose to become the Lead Agency. The Lead Agency would then need Adoption of
the Plan via the appointed Board. All other Municipalities can then go through their
process of formally adopting through their own process.
Bud Shattuck who spoke on behalf of the Town Board indicated that this would
something good for the Town of Lansing Planning Board to take on.
3/14/05 Planning Board
Nancy Loncto inquired as to who would prepare the paperwork, draft the letters, etc . . . ,
• and was advised by Ms . Jurchowich that she would be the preparer.
Larry Sharpsteen suggested that the Town may want to consider taking on this
responsibility due to the large amount of lake frontage, also, this would give Lansing
some control .
Thirty (30) days will be given to other Municipalities to respond to The Town of Lansing
being the designated Lead Agency. An additional sixty (60) days will be allowed for
comments .
The Environmental SEQR will be completed in July by the Planning Board, then
forwarded on to the Town Board for Adoption at their August meeting.
Larry Sharpsteen made a motion to accept the responsibility of the Lead Agency Review
Process for the Cayuga Lake Waterfront Plan. In addition, allow one ( 1 ) month for
comments on the request of Lansing being named the Lead Agency, followed with a two
(2) month period for comments from other Agencies / Municipalities that may have
opinions, followed by the Town of Lansing ' s completion of the SEQR Review at their
July 2005 meeting. Recommendations will then be forwarded to The Town Board.
Lin Davidson seconded. VOTE : ALL IN FAVOR. MOTION CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY.
Hygear Suspension, Ross Benson — Special Permit, referred to Planning
Board by Town Board, 8 Cayuga Vista Drive, Tax Parcel No . 37. 1 -2 -
53 .23
Ross Benson appeared before the Planning Board requesting a Special Permit for the
operation of his Suspension Shop located in The Lansing Business and Technology Park.
This is a non permitted Use for the B1 district. A Power Point Presentation was shown to
the Planning Board Members present. The following issues were discussed :
1 . Noise
Larry Sharpsteen inquired from the Code Enforcement Officer if he had received any
noise complaints . Mr. Platt advised none other than a Board Member.
2 . Number of tests per day
Nancy Loncto inquired as to how tests are done per day. Ross Benson indicated that it all
depends on the number of vehicles that come . Each vehicle gets tested the day it arrives
for approximately 20 minutes . Only 1 vehicle is on the track at a time.
3 . Description of Business
Richard Platt explained that he considered the first request as Commercial recreation-
outdoors . After further discussion with Mr. Benson, Mr. Platt states it could be classified
as Production prototypes .
Larry Sharpsteen stated for the record, he had questioned whether it be called
. Commercial recreation as he felt it was Business and Research use.
3/14/05 Planning Board
Thomas Ellis stated from what he understood, Lansing was trying to attract businesses
• that would not affect noise levels, pollution etc . Mr. Ellis is in favor of this business
however, this is not the location for this type of business .
Lin Davidson agreed. The more successful Mr. Benson becomes, the more the testing
will need to be done.
4. Hours of business
Nancy Loncto inquired what would be the most constricted hours of business that Mr.
Benson would agree to . Mr. Benson advised the Planning Board that the Town Board has
requested 10 AM to 4 PM. The Planning Board requested to know if Mr. Benson would
limit his hours to 9 : 30 AM to 3 : 00 PM Tuesday through Thursday. Mr. Benson would
rather not.
Further Discussion :
Lin Davidson stated he has a problem with this whole concept . Mr. Davidson suggested
that if the Town Board allows this, then all neighbors within 600 ' be notified, in addition
a yearly permitting process .
Thomas Ellis would not make a recommendation to the Town Board to allow this Use.
Nancy Loncto reviewed the General Requirements for a Special Use Permit under
Section 803 . 1 of The Town of Lansing Land Use Ordinance . The following suggestions
were offered.
Section 803 . 1 . 2
• 1 . Erecta fence
2 . documented for the record that the noise can be heard off the property
3 . Hours be limited
Mr. Benson indicated he had not considered an alternate sight for testing. Occasionally he
uses a State Trail in Moravia. If he had to, he would then have to purchase a vehicle
large enough for transporting to an off site. In addition to purchasing a vehicle, certain
tools would not be readily available for use at the alternate site.
Larry Sharpsteen made a motion that we recommend to the Town Board that a Special
Use Permit be granted for this property, upon submission of the proper application by the
property owner, with minimum restrictions that the hours of operation be limited to
Monday through Friday from 10 : 00 AM to 4 : 00 PM, with NO operation on bank
holidays, school holidays or regular holidays, and further more leaving any other
restrictions up to the Town Board after the Public Hearing including two (2) annual
reviews of the Permit to include construction of the fence.
