(Aye) Larry Tvaroha, Councilman Vote of Town Board . . . (Aye) Jeannine Kirby, Supervisor Proof of Notice having been furnished, the Public Hearing concerning the rezoning of the flight path hazard zone at the Tompkins County Airport was called to order at 7 : 15 P.M. A number of area residents showed up to voice their concerns . Some of their concerns were as follows: John Orr of 987 Warren Drive asked why the Town was interested in expanding the hazard area for the airport? Mr. Alvin White explained that the Airport hazard zone is defined by the F.A.A. as being an area that is one mile wide and four miles long. The area will be extended to the extent of the runway addition which is 800 feet which will automatically extend it across Triphammer and out into the field area but the hazard zone itself will only be extended the same distance as the length of the runway. The rest of it is defined and is always there within a Federal controlled airport . • Mr. White then gave the following explanation: At the time that the change was originally projected, Mr. White was Chairman of the Lansing Planning Board. It has been discussed for approximately three to four years. The Planning Board's major concern is the biggest hazard in the airport hazard zone is noise. Some complaints came from the Whispering Pines subdivision in regard to the noise level exceeding the federal guidelines . The Planning Board became concerned because the more houses that are in that area (off the end of the runway) , the more people are going to complain about the noise. When the F.A.A. receives a certain number of complaints , they will then designate 206 continued February 10 , 1993 noise abatement procedures for the airport . He felt these procedures were an additional hazard because it amounts to a very excellerated manual attack to the edge of the airport , at which time they tip over and retard the throttles to reduce the noise as they go out across the area. He felt that if there is adverse weather conditions , it could put the airplane into a hazardous condition. The reason the Planning Board has asked for the rezoning change is strictly not to have any more houses in the area that is proposed to be made into industrial and light commercial . Mrs . John Orr asked why the Town would want to allow a business that could employ 35 to 70 people versus a home with two people as two people would not complain as much as 70 people would. Mr. White stated that complaints are received primarily on weekends and after 9:00 P.M. and before 7 :00 A.M. at which time, most business are closed. He stated that business do not complain about airplanes going over but that the people are the ones who complain. Mrs . Orr stated that they have lived in their house for 27 years and your mind becomes a custom to the airplanes . Mr. Thaler gave the audience the following information on the background of the problem: When the airport was established on East Hill the Federal regulations required a hazard zone to be created. About two years ago, the Town Board received many complaints about the noise pollution. They felt the airplanes that were coming in and taking off were not staying in the suggested landing pattern that was created by the F.A.A. When the County announces that they wanted to renovate the airport , the original suggestion by the engineer 's was to extend the runway by 1200 feet to the west . Based upon that , a number of residents in the area then came to the Town Board with complaints and the Town Board commissioned Mr. Thaler to oppose such an extension along with the help of Mr. Cox and Mr . Tucker and various people to come up with the audio readings to show that the noise pollution was more than the experts said it was . This was presented • at the Public Hearing where the Town opposed the extension of the runway and suggested the County do something about trying to confine the landing pattern into the areas that originally were set out . Because of the opposition of the Town of Lansing, the County did not approve the 1200 foot extension but went to the fall back position of 800 feet . At the time this was presented, the experts suggested and came to the point of indicating it was going to be an absolute necessity was to rezone part of the land that lay immediately west of the end of the runway. The reason for the proposed rezoning is to protect someone who comes into the area from buying something that they eventually could feel they were not fully advised of . (noise nuisance and airplane failure) After studying the problem for about three or four years , the Lansing Planning Board made a recommendation to the Town Board to change the zoning in the area. Al Phillips of 12 Bean Hill Lane felt the Town should be protecting the people who are already there and not worry so much about future residents . He felt this would decrease the present owners property values . He felt the Town was trying to protect themselves from a legal matter that could take place in the future and not about the present home owners . Mr . Thaler indicated that the hazard zone was established at the same time the airport was established and therefore the present owners properties were in the hazard zone. Mr. Thaler stated that the titles should have noted that the properties were in the hazard zone. • Mr . Orr asked if the Town Board was aware of the fact that if the area is rezoned, the banks are very hesitant in giving loans to residential housing located in industrial zoned areas? Pat Cox of 31 Forest Acres Drive felt that it did not make since to her because if the Town wanted to keep houses out and allow businesses to go in, there would be a larger amount of people in a business during the day time when an accident is more likely to happen. Ken Schmidt of 149 Hillcrest asked what the current zoning was continued February 10 , 1993 207 on the area being discussed. Mrs . Kirby stated that it was all residential . Mr . Schmidt was concerned about bringing in an industrial zoned area that would be located next to a very nice residential area. He also felt it would have a negative effect on the property values . Liz Biss of 28 Forest Acres Drive who also owns a parcel of land on Triphammer Road had questions in regard to the map as far as being able to understand boundaries involved. Her major concern was that something like a U.P.S. could be built in their backyard. She was also very concerned about that lighting problems that could occur. 4111 Dave Cox of 31 Forest Acres Drive wanted to know what the distance was from the point to Liz Biss 's house. Mr. Thaler stated that it was 30 feet east of it . Mr. Cox felt it was very sad that the Town Board would vote on something when they did not know what it would do to the property values . Mr. Cox was also concerned that the Town Board would vote on the proposed rezoning right after the Public Hearing was closed. Dale Skoch of 33 Forest Acres Drive asked when the Town Board would vote on it . Mrs . Kirby stated that she was not sure when it would happen. Mr. Scotch also asked why one third of the area was outside of the hazard zone. Mr. White stated that the hazard zone is set by the F.A.A. and not the Town. Mr. Cornelius Drost questioned why the Warren Road Business Park was in the area to be rezoned as he felt it would then fall under the regular industrial zone regulations which are a lot lighter than what is in place right now. Mr. Drost stated that this was a Planned Development Area. (PDA) Mr. White stated that the Planning Board was more concerned about the noise pollution than the hazard. A resident stated that the hazard zone was not the issue, but that the rezoning of a residential area to an industrial area was . The question was asked if the Town Board had the power to change any zoning at any time in the Town of Lansing. Mr. Thaler stated that they did but only after a Public Hearing was held. 1111 Ethel Beck of 25 Stormyview Road stated that she understood there was a development proposed that would extend Bean Hill and Stormy View and include 17 more lots , all of which are in the hazard zone. She wondered if it made sense to put 17 more homes in the hazard zone. Al White felt it did not make since to put any houses at the end of a runway . He was concerned that when people get a hold of their representative and complain about the noise at the airport , the F.A.A. will not change anything but will send a message that all aircraft will use noise abatement . Mrs . Beck felt that maybe the County should buy the land in question. Mr. White stated that the planes will be lower when they are landing to the southeast because their touch down point will be 600 feet farther back towards Warren Road. Liz Biss asked when the DC9's would be gone and if the planes coming in will be quieter? Betty King of 8 Hillcrest Road stated that she knew she would have airplane noise when she bought her house. She felt that the planes that were coming in now were already quite low and wondered how much lower they could get . Mr. White stated that they could be 60 to 80 feet lower over her house on their landings . She stated that she was already zoned industrial . Mr. Thaler stated that the Town Board could do one of the following: 1 . Accept the recommendation of the Planning Board for the 4111 remediation of having people go into the area not knowing that there is going to be a potential noise problem. If this were to be done the Town Board would agree with the rezoning as proposed. 2 . The Town Board could require that something be filed in the County Clerk's office that would state that any deed that is drawn for sale for any property in the area must have a warning showing that it is in the hazard zone and is subject to noise pollution. 3 . The Board could also do nothing and send it back to the 208 continued February 10 , 1993 Planning Board. Joanne Mancini of 22 Sky Acres Drive stated that they built their house in 1976 and the reason they built where they did was because they wanted to live in a zoned residential area. They were concerned about their property values but feels the Town Board is failing them buy not protecting them. She stated that this would be a step backward if it were to be rezoned as industrial . Betty King felt that if someone buys in the area, they should be told the property is in the hazard zone and then the decision would be up to them. Al Phillips felt Route 13 should be relocated and the problem 4111 be solved rather than to do a bandage job. Mr. Thaler stated that property values were important to the Town Board. He asked if it were more detrimental to have a light industrial zone then to have a warning at the County Clerk's office stating that if you buy this property you are in the airport hazard zone and subject to noise pollution or doing nothing and have someone move in and ask why they were not told? The appraisers told Mr. and Mrs . Orr that within 10 years after their house was sold, it would be automatically gone. They were advised not to put any more money into their home. They also told the Orr 's that within 10 years their property value would grow tremendously but the buildings on the property would be devalued to nothing. She asked if the Town Board would consider buying the homeowners out . She also stated that the noise from U. P. S . is very difficult to live with. Fred Stone of 5 Bean Hill Lane asked why these properties could not be grandfathered in some way? He would rather see the deeds stamped "hazard zone" . A resident asked if they could give input to the Planning Board. Mrs . Kirby stated that if the Town Board was to pass this back to the Planning Board, the residents could go to a Planning Board Meeting and voice their concerns . Mrs . Dale Skoch of 33 Forest Acres Drive asked if the Planning Board had the final say . Mrs . Kirby stated that the Town Board was the Board who had the final say. She asked why the Planning Board • was not present . Al White was representing the Lansing Planning Board. She asked in what year the area was designated a hazard zone area and why was she not notified of it when she bought her house. She asked what recourse she might have. She stated that she did not want the zoning changed. Mr . White stated that he would hate to see the area developed into houses and was surprised at the response of the people. He also stated that if the Town Board passed this proposed zoning change back to the Planning Board, he felt the Planning Board would drop it due to the response of the people. One resident felt that the noise abatement might be the best solution but the Board and Mr . White felt it was very dangerous . Mr . Cox did not feel the traffic nor the noise was a problem but was concerned that a U. P. S. or a Motel could be placed 30 feet of Liz Biss ' s property line. He stated that he was not necessarily opposed to the zoning change but was opposed to the extent of it . He asked if the Town had approached Cornell about paying full taxes on the property mentioned. Mrs . Kirby stated that they already pay the full amount . He mentioned the possibility of approximately 1 ,000 feet of green land. (Due to lighting) He was also concerned about one of the streets being opened as a main street to the industrial zone and wanted to be sure this did not happen. He stated that residents had signed up to help on committees but were not contacted as of yet . He felt the Planning Board should of had an input meeting before the Public Hearing. • A resident asked that if a notice was put on the deeds or filed in the County Clerk' s Office, if along with that , if a person signed off , there could be a disclaimer stating that they could not file any future complaints with the Town Board relative to the noise that they are going to be subjected to in the area. Mr . Dave Cox stated that in the Zoning Rules and Regulations , it states that the Zoning Officer will stamp "Hazard Area" on all of the building permits issued in that area. Mr . Thaler stated that 209 continued February 10 , 1993 would only happen after a person has already bought a piece of land. Joanne Mancini asked for a show of hands of the people attending the meeting. Dorothy Krizek stated that the Krizek' s did not want any industrial zoned land and the Town Board should keep it residential . A Hillcrest resident stated that there was already enough traffic on Hillcrest Road and they would hate to see more. Pat Cox felt that after the airport cut down all the trees, it made a big difference in the noise. She said that the • representatives from the airport stated that if the runway was expanded, they would plant more trees . At this time Mrs . Kirby asked for a show of hands for the following: 1 . How many would be in favor of the zoning change as the Planning Board has proposed it? No one raised their hand. 2 . How many would be in favor of stamping the deeds at the County level? Mr. Totman asked who would be responsible for stamping the deeds? Mr. Thaler stated that something would be recorded in the Tompkins County Clerk' s Office that would be picked up on the title. (The deed itself would NOT be stamped) . Mrs . Kirby asked how many would like to see something put on file in the County Clerk' s Office to warn new homeowners? The total of people who would like to see this happen was 4. 3 . How many people would like the Town Board to do nothing? The total show of hands was 18 .

(Aye) Jeannine Kirby, Supervisor Dave Herrick, Town Engineer, reported the following to the Town Board: 1 . The 1992 water revenue information has been completed. Dave felt that the Town' s surcharge could possibly be lowered. 213 continued February 10 , 1993 Mr . Thaler suggested we move the appropriate number of dollars out of the water general account and put it into a capital account which could be applied to the principal debt of the BAN's at the end of the year. The bookkeeper will check into moving available monies and Dave Herrick will calculate new surcharges for the Town. 2 . SEWER ISSUE: Municipalities have been meeting in regard to the Cline Road bypass which could divert 2 ,500 gallons of flow for approximately 10 years . This would be a rent type situation. The engineer's feel it 's a step in the right direction. Mr. Herrick felt it would be good for the Town to enter into a ten year rent 4110 program if the other municipalities agreed. Mr . Tom Todd - Lansing's County Representative spoke about the following: 1 . The County Budget and Administration committee approved a resolution to go ahead with challenging N.Y. S.E. & Gas 's assessment of Milliken Station. The school will also participate in this with the initial cost being around $24 ,000 .00 . 2 . The City of Ithaca passed a resolution asking for 50% of the sales tax. Mr . Todd stated there were NO provisions in the resolution as far as Towns are concerned. He stated that the ENTIRE revenues of the first two quarters of 1993 will go to the County . From then on it will be split 75 / 25 . The one cent raise will amount to about eight million dollars . (25% would be two million) Mr. Todd stated that the Town of Lansing will receive their share in the third or fourth quarter of 1993 . It will be proportioned to the population of the Town. Mr. Tvaroha was very much against the way this is being divided out . 3 . Tom Todd stated that the Budget and Administration committed turned down a proposal to do away with Grievance Day in outlying Towns . Mr. Todd feels that the one on one contact with • elected officials and a professional staff has a lot of merit . The Town Board agreed with Mr . Todd to keep Grievance Day in the Town's and not just at the Assessment Department . Mr. Todd also felt the Assessment Department appreciated the local people's opinions . RESOLUTION offered by Mr. Tvaroha and seconded by Mr. Butler: RESOLVED, that based upon the concerns raised by the residents , the Lansing Town Board opts to take NO action on the proposed Zoning change and; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this be referred back to the Planning Board along with a transcript of the comments that were aired tonight . Carried. In the future, Mr. Cleveland would like to see the Planning Board hold an informational meeting before a proposal is sent to the Town Board for a Public Hearing. He also suggested that the Planning Board should notify the people in other ways than just the legal notice. Mr . Tvaroha stated that he would like to see something in place to cover the Town' s liability in the future and inform 4110 residents of the risks when purchasing property in the airport location. RESOLUTION offered by Mr. Cleveland and seconded by Mr. Butler: RESOLVED, that the bookkeeper is hereby authorized to pay for repairs of the Town Hall Annex out of the Capital Fund Reserve. 214 continued February 10 , 1993 Vote of Town Board . . .
