Tompkins County Planning Department offered the following recommendation; Fax(607)274-5578 June 12,2012 Ms.Rachel Jacobson,Zoning Clerk Town of Lansing Box 186 Lansing,NY 14882 Re: Review Pursuant to§239—1,-m and—n of the New York State General Municipal Law Action: Expansion of Manufacturing Business at 126 Ridge Road,Town of Lansing Tax Parcel No.35.-2-2.2,Alex Deybim,Owner/Applicant. Dear Ms.Jacobson: This letter acknowledges your referral of the proposal identified above for review and comment by the Tompkins County Planning Department pursuant to§239—I,-m and—n of the New York State General Municipal Law.The Department has reviewed the proposal,as submitted,and has determined that it may have negative inter-community,or county-wide impacts as described below.We recommend modification of the proposal.If the Board does not incorporate the recommendations,such approval will require a vote of a supermajority(meaning a majority plus one)of all members of the decision-making body. Recommended Modifications • To help protect water quality,we recommend that the Town require a minimum 50-foot,no-build buffer to the intermittent stream near the parcel's northern boundary.This buffer should be measured from the top of the stream bank and maintained as natural vegetation.While it appears that the location of the new building would comply with this setback,the pavilion and lined pond should also be moved outside of the buffer. Please inform us of your decision so that we can make it a part of the record. Sincerely, Edward C.Marx,AICP Commissioner of Planning and Community Sustainability The Member discussed the County's recommendation and agreed that the 50 foot buffer was excessive and felt that 35 feet was adequate. 2 APPROVED David Hatfield made a motion to waive the Public Hearing(s) on the overall Application and the SEQR.
