April 2 , 1958
Town Barns on the Elmira Road
All members of the Planning Board were present .
Mr . Armstrong , manager of Knight Paving Products , was present and said
that he -had not much to add to any past statements that had been made con-
cerning the status of Knight Paving . He stated that Knight Paving was going
to go ahead with the planting of shrubs and trees to screen the plant and
trucks . This work is to progress as rapidly as possible using their own
truck drivers . The question of permission to erect additional tanks was
placed on the Board of Zoning Appeals . It was pointed out to the board
that any change in zoning from residential to industrial would permit un-
limited expansion of:tfie Knight Paving business or a switch to any other
industrial use if Knight decided to abando# the present use of the property .
Since this is apparently not the intention of Knight Paving Products
according to the statements before the Planning Board and the Board of Zoning
Appeals . The change to industrial use would serve little purpose . The
representatives from Knight ' s said that they would try to co -operate in
every way with the people of the area in cutting down noise , planting
screening material , and doing anything reasonable to get along with the
people of the: neighborhood .
Mrs . Gladys Wolf and Walter Wolf , Jr . appeared with a preliminary map
of their property on the TrumansburgRoad . The plan indicates a road from
the Trumansbu.rg Road through to the DuBoise Road . Intention is to develop
approximately 700 feet of this road at the present time . The Planning
Board have its tentative approval to this plan and they asked that the
Wolfs submit a complete preliminary map .
Rocco Luceenn: i presented his final preliminary plans . These plans were
refered to Tor . Watson and Boynton for final checking of drainage patterns ,
lot sizes , etc .
Planning Board Meeting 2
A preliminary layout of the Dorris farm showing road development was
approved by the Planning Board . Mx . Lucenti was given permission to rough
in a service road to develop Winston ,Drive and Salem Drive through the
Morris farm . This approval was only for location of a service road which
will be eventually incorporated into the road pattern when the Morris farm
is subdivided . There was discussion as to the other connecting roads but
no decision was made because subdivisions of this land is not the subject
under discussion at the meeting of April 2 .
The Planning Board discussed the advisability of selecting development
areas for schools as well as business and industrial areas . It is the
feeling of the Board that these areas should be set aside at the present
time so that development patterns can have an ordinary course in the
future .
A rough map of the Dennis property on Coddington� Road was presented
to the Board .
Plant , commercial and light industrial zones dere discussed . The
paragraphs of the zoning ordinance of the city of Rome relative to the
subject of such zones were read . Mr . Matson is going to prepare a recom-
mendation for a change in the Ithaca zoning ordinance to incorporate these
ideas .
Meeting adjourned .
