What to expect at a Planning Board meeting
Please help the Planning Board and the Public by coming prepared with written comments, if
possible. Please only speak if you "have the floor." Always identify yourself by name and
municipality. Please mute your computer speakers before calling or entering the Zoom meeting room
if you are monitoring the meeting on YouTube to reduce feedback. Please make the Planning Board
aware of any disability you have that may require accommodation for you to participate fully in the
meeting prior to the start of the meeting.
Please limit comments to three (3) minutes. If as a speaker, you run up against the 3-minute time
limit,you may submit the remainder of your comments in writing or via email.
The Planning Board carefully considers information and comments provided by the public in regard
to a proposed project or application, whether submitted in writing or given verbally during a public
hearing, meeting, or privilege of the floor. Like any public meeting, come prepared to hear comments
and opinions that may conflict with your own and engage in civil discourse. Treat other with dignity
and respect through your comments and actions whether listening or speaking.
The Planning Board and its members may ask for clarification of comments from the public but the
Planning Board will not engage in dialogue or question and answer session with the public.
Likewise, Applicants are directed to answer questions from Board members and may address any
response to public comments directly to the board.
Please familiarize yourself with local laws and land use regulations as they directly affect your
property rights. Please contact the Planning & Code Enforcement Department at 607-533-7054 or
tolcodes@lansingtown.com with any questions or concerns. We welcome your engagement in the
process as the Town updates and creates new laws and land use ordinances that impact property
rights. Our goal is to include you in the process, gather facts, and gather public comment, to be taken
into account and used in the decision-making process. While the Planning Board reviews and
recommends changes to local land use laws, the Town Board is the only legislative body with the
authority to create or amend local laws.
The Planning Board works within the strictures of state and local laws but is not a judicial or policing
body and cannot address legal issues outside its purview (ex: trespassing issues, leases, etc.). Please
keep in mind that any project approval is not a guarantee that a Building Permit will be issued or that
a project will be built.
