B.The Town of Lansing Land Use Ordinance encourages the development of creative and environmentally sound housing communities, particularly those that create the clustering of housing units so as to promote and preserve open and recreational space and existing significant natural features and conditions, and those that promote energy efficiency through sustainable and intelligent design. C.The Developers of PDA #1, Rocco Lucente and Vi llage Solars, LLC (the “Developer” or “Developers,” as the context herein may admit or require, and such terms shall include each and all of their successors, heirs, and assigns), have set forth a development plan of mixed uses and clustered multi-housing units, the creation of enclosed and non-enclosed community and recreational spaces, walkways and paths to foster a walk-able community, the use of rain gardens and watercourses to foster an “amenities loop” with services, walkways, gardens, and which interlinks to a town-wide community trail, as well as a recreational loop of over a half mile in length surrounding the PDA that interconnects a dog park, basketball courts, recreational lawns, picnic areas, and other amenities. The Developers also propose solar efficiency for reduced heating and electric costs by orienting buildings and improvements towards solar radiation and other design elements. D.The proposed project will contribute to the variety of housing styles and patterns of development available in the Town and will create a model housing project that displays the benefits of integrated services, efficient solar design, recreation, and open spaces, all while being designed to create a neighborhood design favoring pedestrian and walk-able uses, with minimal vehicular traffic incursion, all while providing native and attractive landscaping and buffering, safe play areas for children, clustering housing to create open spaces and promote an aesthetic and safe neighborhood space to foster a sense of community. The usage of interior acreage for housing promotes these goals and also helps preserve soil and water resources, all while avoiding strip-type residential development along roadways. This PDA will preserve many roadside rural vistas and demonstrate a permissible manner through which planned housing may conserve energy and water, provide open space, recreational opportunities, and community facilities, all within the parameters of allowed density. SECTION 2:PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AREAS GENERALLY A.The Zoning Ordinance of the Town of Lansing as readopted, amended and revised, effective on or about May 18, 2005, be further amended as set forth below. 1.A new Article XVI is added entitled “Planned Development Areas” as follows: a.1600.0 - Planned Development Areas (“PDA”) are permitted in the Town of Lansing when approved pursuant to the procedures and requirements of the Town of Lansing Land Use Ordinance, including § 706.0 (and all its subdivisions), therein.

Such installation, inspections, and operational parameters shall be verified at reasonable times by the Town Engineer and other designees of the Town of Lansing. 18.The Developer may request a waiver from the requirement of this Article and this Local Law to the extent of obtaining additional building permits (or certificates of compliance or occupancy) earlier than would otherwise be authorized hereunder by applying for such a waiver to the Tow n Board. If such a waiver is granted, the Town Board may impose such reasonable conditions upon the waiver as it may deem appropriate. The Town Board may, but is not required to, authorize the issuance of additional building permits (or the issuance of such certificates) if the Town Board finds: a.The plans for the water or sewer lines and appurtenances have been approved by all applicable agencies; b.Wor k has been commenced on the construction of the line and appurtenances and is progressing with sufficient rapidity that it is reasonable to expect that it will be completed before any certificates of occupancy or compliance for any dwelling or other units are issued; c. There would be a substantial hardship to one or more individuals to delay construction or certificate issuance absent such waiver, and such hardship was not self-created; d.There is proof provided to the Tow n Engineer and Planning Board that there is adequate financial support available to the Developer to complete the work, such proof being in the form of a dedicated escrow account, performance bond, letter of credit, or other proof satisfactory and acceptable to the Town Board as based upon the recommendations of the Town Engineer and the Attorney for the Town; e. The Town Engineer recommends granting the waiver; and f.Such waiver is the minimum variation from the requirements of this Local Law as would remediate or lessen such found hardship. 19.The area encompassed and rezoned in accordance with this Local Law is described as follows: Being Town of Lansing Tax Parcel Numbers 39.-1-38.7; 39.-1-38.9; 39.-1-38.10; P/O #39.-1-32.2; P/O #39.-1-38.2, all as more particularly described as the land within the following described boundaries: Beginning at a point marked by a found iron pin located at the northeasterly corner of lands now or formerly of the Town of Lansing (592/709), as shown on a Survey Map entitled “Village Circle Village Apartments/Village Solar PDA Boundary Survey Map,” as dated March 5, 2013 and drawn by Lawrence Fabbroni (NYSPE 51734, NYSLS 49682) (hereinafter, the “Survey Map”); and thence proceeding N 14˚ 40’ 08’ W a distance of 300.73’ to a point, such point being located at the northwesterly corner of lands now or formerly of Kaida Computer Technologies LLC (#521821-001); and thence proceeding S 75˚ 43’ 15” E a distance of 8.50’ to a point located in the northerly property line of said Kaida Computer Technologies LLC; and thence proceeding N 14˚ 34’ 20” E a distance of 570.01’ to a point in the southerly property line of lands now or formerly of Rocco P.
