Public Comments/Concerns other than Agenda Items
Thomas Ellis, Chairman inquired if there were any comments from the Public.
Solar Arrays
Resident, Andy Sciarabba inquired why Solar Systems for Residential customers are not
required to have Site Plan Review. Mr. Sciarabba states they are unsightly and should
have some sort of buffering. Lynn Day, Zoning Officer states the Planning Board
requested at one time that any ground mounted Solar Array have Site Plan Review and
the Town Board removed it from the proposed Zoning changes as they wanted to make
the process easier for Lansing residents to go “Solar/Green”.
The Planning Board Members expressed to Mr. Sciarabba it is a Town Board issue and
should be address at their level. Mr. Sciarabba requested that Mike Long, Planning
Consultant take his request to the Town Board for further discussion/action.
Due to a Planning Board Member being absent, Chairman Ellis enacted Sandy Dennis
Conlon, Alternate Member to have voting privileges tonight.

New York, Tax Parcel #37.1-3-1.22, consisting of approximately 1.75 acres in the B2

and the proposal is to add a free standing drive–up ATM Bank Machine, illuminated

WHEREAS, as less than one acre is disturbed by this application, the owner will be
required to complete a Basic SWPPP for the immediately affected area and have the
same approved by the Highway Department before building permits are issued; and
WHEREAS, a § 239 referral was duly made to County Planning, which noted no official
comments on the site plan or the environmental review thereof; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Lansing Planning Board, in performing its reviewing agency
functions in conducting an environmental review in accordance with Article 8 of the
New York State Environmental Conservation Law (SEQRA): (i) pursued its thorough
review of the project and the Applicant’s completed SEAF, as well as a review of all
other documents prepared and submitted with respect to this proposed action; and (ii)
thoroughly analyzed the potential relevant areas of environmental concern of the
project to determine if the proposed action may have any moderate or significant
adverse impacts on the environment, including the criteria identified in 6 NYCRR
Section 617.7(c); and (iii) reviewed the SEAF on the record; and
APPROVED
6
WHEREAS, each identified potential environmental impact was analyzed and duly
considered by the Planning Board in relation to the question of whether any potential
environmental impacts were so probable of occurring or so significant as to require a
positive declaration, and after weighing the above and all other potential impacts
arising from or in connection with this project, and after also considering: (i) the
probability of each potential impact occurring; (ii) the dur ation of each potential impact;
(iii) the irreversibility of each potential impact, including permanently lost resources of
value; (iv) whether each potential impact can or will be controlled or mitigated by
permitting or other processes; (v) the regional consequence of the potential impacts; (vi)
the potential for each impact to be or become inconsistent with the Town’s master plan
or Comprehensive Plan and local needs and goals; and (vii) whether any known
objections to the Project relate to any of the identified potential impacts, the Planning
Board found that these factors did not cause any potential impact to be or be likely to
become a moderate or significant impact such that a negative declaration will be issued.

Site Plan & SEQR Review, Applicant: Michael Withers, Can and Bottle
Redemption Center, 3100 N. Triphammer Road, Tax Parcel # 37.1-2-23.1
Michael Withers, Applicant and Leasing Agent, David Huckle appeared before the
Board for Site Plan Review. Mr. Withers, has a lease to utilize the existing barn at this
site and is requesting site plan approval for the expansion of the existing parking lot at
3110 N. Triphammer Road, Tax Parcel #37.1-2-23.1, B2 Commercial Zone. This is
currently a vacant structure that will be used primarily as an individual person drop off
and interior storage of deposit bottles and cans. The site consists of 9.7 +/- acres site
APPROVED
10
and two existing driveway accesses onto the site. The proposed parking expansion will
be located to the north of the existing driveway entrance. The site will utilize the
existing driveway curb cut from N. Triphammer Road. There will be very little site
disturbance so very little impact is anticipated for storm water issues. The total
disturbed area is approximately 0.03+/- acres. There will be non-illuminated signage
located near N. Triphammer Road and also a sign mounted on the building. The
existing stone boulders will be moved to allow for the expansion of 6 parking spaces (1
HC). Periodic tractor trailers will be on the site to pick up the beverage bottles and cans
and the site can accommodate this truck circulation with the existing loop around the
existing buildings.
Thomas Ellis inquired if the owner planned on repairing the front of the building. Mr.
Withers indicated lumber has been purchased to make repairs on the building.
Lynn Day, Zoning Officer states he has told the owner and the leasee they must make
the building weather tight.
David Huckle, Leasing Agent from Pyramid Brokerage states the owner is well aware
of the various modifications that must be made to the property.
Mr. Withers currently plans to be open for business during the daylight hours, 5-6 days
per week.
According to Mr. Withers, all storage will be kept indoors. A dumpster will be located
between the two buildings that are owned by Mr. Rendano and shared with both
buildings.
Landscaping will be minimal. Flowers will be planted under the sign.
The Planning Board Members reviewed Part I and completed Part II of the
Environmental Assessment Form.

Proposed changes to the Communications Tower Local Law
The Board briefly discussed the proposed changes. It was the Chairman’s call to not
proceed any further until Legal Counsel is present for discussion.
Consideration for Waiver on Special Permit Conditions
Mike Long, A.I.C.P. brought to the Board’s attention that Ibe Jonah has approached
John Young with respect to renting his Soccer Field (behind the Rink) for a Tournament
in September. This would be an adult Tournament, ages ranging from 30 yrs. to 50 yrs.
Mr. Long states previously, the Planning Board recommended to the Town Board that
they place an age limit on the Special Permit. Mr. Long states he believes that could
create legal issues for the Town, as you can’t discriminate due to a person’s age.
Lynn Day, Zoning Officer states he has spoken with the Manager, Russ at the Rink and
they have no problem with people using their parking lot over the Labor Day weekend
for this event.
A brief discussion occurred with respect to the original condition that was placed on the
Site Plan approval with regards to limiting the age of the players. It was Mr. Young’s
request for that condition and the Planning Board went along with it.
Thomas Ellis stated at the time of the proposal, recreational fields were not allowed in
that district. However, now they are by Special Use Permits.
Richard Prybyl made a motion to recommend to the Town Board that they grant a
Special Use Permit for one year with the condition that all parking be located in the
Rink Parking lot and not on Waterwagon Road or NY Rt. 34. Larry Sharpsteen
seconded the motion and it was carried by the following roll call vote:
