The parks still look great for this time of the year and many people still are visiting to drive through or park and walk.  An additional 12 new trees were delivered and planted last week by our crew in some open spots in the park. Several of these trees are flowering crab apple and should really be beautiful in the spring! We continue to add more trees than we remove and whenever trees are taken down it is always for public safety reason!!  The Lansing Center Trail continues to get consistent usage. The trail looks great and gets regular upkeep from a host of volunteers.  The Lansing Lion’s Club has completed much of the work on the new pavilion in Ludlowville Park.

November 11, 2015 at 7:00 PM PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR A resident from the Lake Watch area presented the following petition that was signed by 82 residents. The petition will also be presented to the Planning Board at next Monday’s meeting. To: Lansing Town Board and the Lansing Town Planning Board From: Residents of Lake Watch and Cayuga Highlands, Lansing 5 October 17, 2015 Dear members of the Lansing Town Board and Town Planning Board: We, property owners of the Lake Watch and Cayuga Highlands developments petition all current members of the Town Board and Planning Board to approve a thorough, comprehensive, and complete plan for the entirety of the Nova Lane development that addresses the safety concerns expressed by residents of the Lake Watch and Cayuga Highlands communities. This complete plan would comprise all stages of development potentially to include all 19 homes that ultimately might be built in all phases of the Nova Lane development. The comprehensive plan and would include, at minimum, a specific plan for the connection of  Smugglers Path to Eastlake Road before any homes are built in the Nova Lane development. In particular, this connection between East Lake and Lake Watch Needs to be completed before Stage 1 of the development begins.  Nova Lane to Route 34, without traffic being routed through the East Lake or Lake Watch developments and then having to wind up again at a hammerhead end of Nova Lane that stops shortly before connecting to Route 34. In particular, this connection to Route 34 needs to be completed before Stage 2 of the development begins. We have serious safety concerns about the plans for Nova Lane as they have been presented to us. Specifically, we are concerned about the connections to Nova Lane via Smugglers Path and/or Reach Run that terminate in one or more dead ends, creating a single entry and exit point to this new development. This single point of entry/exit presents a significant danger in terms of emergency access to our developments, with the further potential for costly litigation against the Town of Lansing in case of emergency action blocked by lack of planning for entrance and egress routes. These safety concerns also pertain to traffic to the new development being routed via a single path through our developments and the convoluted traffic plan that would result from the planned configuration of streets. This convoluted plan presents a significant danger to our children, who play on our streets, and to the walkers and runners who frequent these residential neighborhoods. Because there are no sidewalks, moreover, walking, running and playing in the street are inevitable. We do not oppose the development of Nova Lane, but we believe it must be done in a responsible way that takes into account the safety of the residents of Lake Watch, Cayuga Highlands, Nova Lane, and East Lake, as well as of all vehicles that pass by those developments on Route 34. We do not believe the current plan constitutes a responsible approach to developing Nova Lane and, as our elected or appointed town officials, we respectfully request you take steps to address our legitimate concerns. We believe there are a number of viable solutions to resolve our concerns surrounding the development of Nova Lane, and we believe these solutions can be reached at a communal level. We therefore request that you take into account our concerns and collaborate with us to see that Nova Lane is developed in a responsible way. We are willing to collaborate with you on this issue. Sincerely, Concerned Residents of Lake Watch and Cayuga Highlands TOMPKINS COUNTY REPRESENTATIVE – MIKE SIGLER TOMPKINS COUNTY LEGISLATOR MICHAEL SIGLER 11/18/2015 Hi, Thanks for having me again. 6 At the last meeting I was at, it was mentioned that there were still concerns about the intersection of Asbury and North Triphammer. With that in mind, I asked our highway department if we could put up the flashing speed lights that we see at schools. It so happened that the county had two temporary units that we could put up, so we did. These are also collecting data. Jeff Smith, our Supervisor asked if the town would want that data and I told him it’s likely you would. I think the lights do give a good, non-intrusive, heads up to take some care in the upcoming intersection. Our road crew also fixed parts of Asbury Road at the same time. Last night, after two-and-a-half months of deliberation and review, we adopted the County’s 2016 budget and capital program for the next five years. The budget was approved by a 13-1 vote, with Legislator Dooley Kiefer voting no. The $1.71 million budget, with $84.9 million in local dollar spending, increases the County tax levy by 1.01% an increase that is below the County’s 1.8% State property tax cap. The tax rate of $6.73 per thousand is down by 1.88% from 2015. The summary of the final amendments and the adopted budget will be posted on the budget page of the County website at www.tompkinscountyny.gov/ctyadmin/2016budget. Also, by unanimous vote, the county adopted a new Local Law that will prohibit the sale in Tompkins County of personal care products containing microbeads. “Microbeads” are synthetic, plastic particles added to personal care products, such as facial cleansers, shampoos, and toothpastes. The new law notes that microbeads, which enter bodies of water through disposal down household drains following the use of such personal cosmetic products and collect harmful pollutants already present in the environment, pose a serious threat to Tompkins County’s environment. I want to thank Lansing native Christian Shaw, and the Plastic Tides team Gordon Middleton, Celine Jennison and Julian Rodriguez for bringing a lot of attention to this issue. The law will take effect 180 days after its filing with the Secretary of State – the long lead time to enable public and retailer awareness of the provisions and to permit the adjustment of store inventories to comply without undue hardship. Legislator Jim Dennis proposed delay in implementation from the six months to one year, which ultimately failed by a 6-8 margin (Legislators Mike Sigler, Dave McKenna, Leslyn McBean- Clairborne, and Chair Mike Lane joining Mr. Dennis voting in favor). Enforcement will come through the Department of Weights and Measures, which it was noted will be able to use discretion in working with store owners. Earlier this month, the Tompkins County Legislature, by a vote of 10-2, authorized the County, jointly with the City of Ithaca, to pursue a State- funded study to examine the potential feasibility of consolidation of City and County law enforcement agencies. It was said this was a way to study this, but go slow. I voted against it because I’m thinking this is a path we shouldn’t step on at all. I see no benefit for Lansing in a merger between the City Police Department and the County Sheriff’s Office. The state has encouraged consolidation and shared services, but I see many other easier places to merge services such as finances and human resources. 7 Also, our two new members Anna Kelles (District 2) and Richard John (District 4) were administered the oath of office today by County Clerk Maureen Reynolds. Legislators John and Kelles, elected by special election this month, now officially join the Legislature, assuming the seats left vacant by the resignations of Legislators Kathy Luz Herrera and Nate Shinagawa. The Legislature now returns to its full complement of 14 members. Chair Lane has appointed Mr. John to serve on the Public Safety and Government Operations Committees, and Ms. Kelles to serve on the Health and Human Services, and Facilities and Infrastructure Committees. Both Legislators will serve through the remainder of the current Legislature term, ending December 31, 2017. PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR Dave Heck, as a member of the Hydrilla Task Force of the Cayuga Lake Watershed, stated his purpose tonight was to thank the Town Employees for their help this year in getting the information in the hands of the public. He thanked Debbie Crandall for providing the handout kits in the Town Hall foyer and Steve Colt for providing two dispensers at the Town Park. RESOLUTION ISSUING PRELIMINARY APPROVAL OF PROPOSED DESIGN, LOCATIONS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR ROADWAYS AND INFRASTRUCTURE POTENTIALLY TO BE DEDICATED IN RELATION TO THE ASBURY HILL SUBDIVISION, INCLUDING APPROVAL OF WAIVER REQUEST TO BUILD ROADS UNDER 2014 ROADWAY SPECIFICATIONS Councilperson Ruth Hopkins questioned why the Town Board was approving this and not the Planning Board. Counsel Guy Krogh stated that this is standard and every subdivision has to have the Town Board approve the preliminary proposed layout of roadway and stormwater facilities as those are to be dedicated. The Planning Board does not have the jurisdiction to accept a dedication of roadways or stormwater facilities on behalf of the town. He stated that when there is a permanent town infrastructure, by law, it comes to the Town Board for approval and has been done for every subdivision. Counsel Guy Krogh noted that the reason it is in front of the Town Board tonight is because the waiver can be approved by either board. The town was proceeding to address everything and it made sense to address the waiver issue as well. The Town Board approved the highway specifications in the preliminary plat and the waiver request is before the board tonight. Counsel Guy Krogh noted that in order to meet the old roadway specifications there needs to be a preliminary plat approval in place and a requested waiver by December 31, 2015. RESOLUTION 15-125 RESOLUTION ISSUING PRELIMINARY APPROVAL OF PROPOSED DESIGN, LOCATIONS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR ROADWAYS AND INFRASTRUCTURE POTENTIALLY TO BE DEDICATED IN RELATION TO THE ASBURY HILL SUBDIVISION, INCLUDING APPROVAL OF WAIVER REQUEST TO BUILD ROADS UNDER 2014 ROADWAY SPECIFICATIONS The following Resolution was duly presented for consideration by the Town Board: 8 WHEREAS, the Asbury Hill Subdivision, formerly known as Whispering Pines Phase VI, is scheduled for final plat review by the Planning Board, and per the Town’s Subdivision Law a plat approval requires that the Town Board generally review and advise the Planning Board if the proposed roadway layout, specifications, and other infrastructure(s) proposed to be dedicated or offered to the Town are acceptable, including items such as water mains, stormwater facilities, and the like; and WHEREAS, the Town Highway Superintendent has reviewed the proposed roadway layout and specifications and found the same adequate and similarly, as to water and stormwater and other proposed permanent infrastructure that may or will be dedicated or offered for dedication, the Town’s Planner, Engineer, and Attorney have each had input and have generally approved the layout and location of such infrastructure; and WHEREAS, in 2015 the Town changed its roadway specifications but included, for projects then under review, that if they had a required form of approval before December 31, 2015, that such Developer could opt to proceed under the older roadway specifications upon application for a waiver, made before such same date, and approval thereof by the Town Board or the Planning Board (see Resolution 15-96, of August 19, 2015); and WHEREAS, this subdivision was first proposed in 2013 and the roadway and engineering designs were the subject of a preliminary plat approval based upon the older roadway specifications in 2015, even before the adoption of updated roadway and culvert specifications, such that the Developer qualifies for and has requested such a waiver; and WHEREAS, and after due deliberation upon this matter and in respect of the upcoming final plat review, the Town Board of the Town of Lansing has, subject to final stormwater review (including SWPPP approvals and any conditions listed upon any SPDES general permit), and any findings or requirements of the Planning Board in relation to the final subdivision plat, hereby RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Lansing, in satisfaction of the requirements of §505 (E) (1) of Local Law #1 of 2008 and Town Law Article 16, hereby approves the proposed location and specifications for the proposed roadways and infrastructure as shown upon the Asbury Hill Subdivision plat maps (and in such application’s supporting materials); and it is further RESOLVED, that the roadway specifications are approved and the waiver application to build the roadways pursuant to the roadway specifications in eff ect upon the date of the preliminary plat approval (May 2015, thus meaning the older roadway specifications) be and hereby is granted.
