Cayuga Way Subdivision, Sketch Plan, 73 Cherry Road, Parcel # (s) 40.-3-28.2 & 28. 1 Timothy Buhl, P.E. appeared before the board with a proposed Sketch Plan of the Cayuga Way • Subdivision requesting feedback from the Planning Board. Nancy Loncto shared the following comments from Town Engineer, David Herrick. • • Cayuga Way Subdivision — Sketch Plan o The proposed road configuration may require centerline slopes in excess of 10%. Refer to Lots 5-7 where grades are 14- 16%. The Engineer will have to indicate how grading will mitigate this condition. h o We ' ll need to coordinate the water system layout with the Engineer to allow for temporary use of the Town' s booster station constructed in Pheasant Ivleadow and firture connections to a higher pressure tank grid. As mentioned in previous correspondence to the former engineer the Town is interested in a connection from the tank site to the main proposed on Grandview Drive. o The re-configured lot layout. along Placid Terrace apparently "erases" the road right-of-way that had been reserved on the former Lot 32 (see attached print). The Developer should provide a replacement reservation unless the Town determines" that this future connection is not warranted. o The proposed stormwater management practice should be located on the site where it will capture the majority of the disturbed site. The present location may not serve many of the parcels unless additional ditches and piping are proposed. o A copy of a. sealed boundary and topographic survey; should be submitted with any subsequent plans. o The alterations within the Lakeview Subdivision may require additional Planning Board action on previous approvals granted that project. Perhaps the II� own Attorney should be consulted on this •matter. Mr. Buhl responded by showing/explaining the Subdivision layout . The plans indicate the proposed Subdivision will tie in to the road with the Lakeview Subdivision which is North-Northwest. An additional road up the south side for further connection will be made. South is the Pheasant Meadow Subdivision. There will be 18 lots, all above 1 acre • or more. The upper lots of the Subdivision will need to be tied into the booster pump station. Mr. O ' Connor is currently working an agreement out with the Barden Corp. with respect to road connections. Mr. Buhl stated the "easement" to the North that Mr. Herrick is speaking of can be worked out. As for the Stormwater, 95% of the drainage will flow into the retention basin located in the lowest section of the development. Backyards will have swales. The lower portion of Lot # 10 will need some work. The project will be completed in Phases. The Phases will be shown when the Preliminary Plat Sketch is submitted. Larry Sharpsteen made a motion to declare a Major Subdivision. Viola Miller seconded. VOTE AS FOLLOWS : David Hatfield - Aye Brian Ivery - Aye Nancy Loncto - Aye Viola Miller - Aye Larry Sharpsteen -HAye MOTION CARRIED. North Triphammer Multi Use Subdivision, Sketch Plan, Parcel # 37. 1-6-3.362 Timothy Buhl, P.E. appeared before the Planning Board with a proposed Multi Use Subdivision Sketch. Mr. Buhl began by stating there are 3 separate drainage swales on the property. The Subdivision will consist of 25 Condo Units, with 18 Single Family homes around for buffers. Nancy Loncto shared the David Herrick' s comments: Y • N. Triphammer Multi-Use Subdivision — Sketch Plan o The road configuration creates a dead-end Town street that should be reviewed by the Highway Superintendent. It would be preferred from a traffic 'circulation perspective to connect the cul-de- sac to the intersection of N. Triphammer and Hi11cre"st Road along the 60 foot strip owned by Michaleen' s. The middle intersection could then be eliminated. This would be consistent with the draft Town Road Network developed at your September 26, 2005 working session. Collectively, we had envisioned a connector between N. Triphammer Road and E. Shore Drive. The current proposal provides no such access to the west. It would be helpful to review a scheme with a. `through' road. Naturally, the Tompkins County Highway Department will need to be involved in all aspects of the intersection planning and design. Further, it may be necessary to prepare a traffic impact analysis for tins proposal . o Based on the site topography a. stormwater management practice may be necessary for the d southern 1/3 of the property. The other two retention areas" shown are adjacent to or including existing water courses which may result in larger facilities. o The development is within the Town's proposed Sewer Benefit District and would be a property to initially receive sewer service once the district is established. If the schedule of this project requires installation of on-site septic systems then we ' ll want to negotiate easements for future sanitary sewer main routes on and through this parcel. 'll Connie Wilcox, Town Councilperson advised Mr. 'Buhl and Mr. O ' Connor that the Lansing Town Board has agreed that the community needs "affordable housing" . Ms. Wilcox defined "affordable housing" as $ 160, 000. to $200, 00'0 price range. John O ' Connor stated the Condos will probably be ,priced at $200, 000. 00 • Brian Ivery & Larry Sharpsteen stated that they MInotfeel that the selling amount of $200, 000 is an "affordable" amount. Richard Platt advised the board that John Young contacted him to let him know that the Planning Board need not leave any connecting roads from this development through to his, as he will develop his own. Nancy Loncto advised Mr. Buhl and Mr. O ' Connor'to consider another Sketch Plan with a paper road to the South. Ms. Loncto recommended that the Code Enforcement Officer refer to Michaleen ' s minutes from previous a approval with regards to the paper road. This project will be completed in Phases. Larry Sharpsteen indicated this project would be just the one for a PDA. Tompkins County Waterfront Plan/Referral to Town Board Members were previously presented with a resolution to review for an Ordinance approval by the Town Board. Larry Sharpsteen questioned whether it is appropriate for the resolution be directed to The Town of Lansing. Mr. Sharpsteen indicated that the Town is Lead Agency for the County and the resolution should be address to the County. Previously the Town reviewed the EIS for the entire County. • Larry Sharpsteen suggested that the resolution be re-worded. Mr. Plan will contact Joan Jurkowich and Guy Krogh for further advice This will be discussed at the next Planning Board Meeting. • Drake Road Subdivision, Revised Sketch Plan, Parcel # 35.-3-13. 12 Ms. Loncto advised the Members that this Subdivision will be reviewed at the May 8th meeting. Funding/Sewer Nancy Loncto explained that there is Federal funding available to the Town via the County Planning Department. Part of the contingency would include re-districting our R2 District (Sewer Line) to include more opportunities for higher density. Ms. Loncto inquired from the Members if they would consider looking at increasing density and reviewing the Height requirements in the B 1 . It was the consensus of the Planning Board that they would consider this for further • discussion/review in the fall 2006 to include, but not limited to RI , R2 and B1 Districts. Comprehensive Plan Nancy Loncto advised the Members that the meeting of April 24, 2006 will be directed to completing the Comprehensive Plan. David Hen-ick will',"be in attendance and will have more maps to include in the Plan. All members were encouraged to review their copy of the Comprehensive Plan and come prepared with comments/concerns as this will be the last review before passing on to the Town Board for Approval. Larry Sharpsteen made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 9:25 PM. Brian Ivery seconded. • VOTE AS FOLLOWS: David Hatfield - Aye Brian Ivery - Aye Nancy Loncto - Aye Viola Miller - Aye Larry Sharpsteen - 'Aye MOTION CARRIED.
