P aul Norton - 2381 Danby Road arrived after the public hearing was
closed and said that he was interested in the type of lighting
proposed in the Hillview Terrace Mobile Home Park Expansion .
J oel Gagnon responded that the plan shows lighting at each
intersection and at the end of each cul - de - sac at approximately
every 200 feet .
D iane Sherwood - 2352 Danby Road - is concerned that the run off
along a hedge row along her property will increase .
Mary Lou Hardesty reported that the hedge row is not a natural
drainage point .
J oel Gagnon asked where the fill was going to come from for the
leach fields .
P aul Seeley responded that the fill required for the leach fields
is a special material that must be approved by the Tompkins County
H ealth Department .
S usan reported that the Department of Transportation ( DoT ) has made
minor modifications for the driveway , a Sewage Pollution Discharge
E limination System Permit ( SPDES ) has been issued , and the Health

t o know what the Town of Danby has approved . Two ( 2 ) water quality

August 16 , 1994
Mary Lou Hardesty said that she suggested at a previous meeting
that Mrs . Sherwood obtain a list of the shrubbery that is planned
for the project and that she help design her own buffer area .
Arch Dotson suggested that the Planning Board request the developer
to take into account these concerns and if objections or problems
are raised at a future time the Town could take some action .
Ric Dietrich asked when the neighbors would have input into the
landscaping , berms , drainage , etc .
Arch Dotson stated " it is not the role of the Planning Board to
landscape and design . This Board does not know enough about the
site and situation to suggest particular solutions . The Site Plan
Review is for reasonableness and design . It is not for detail
involving landscape particulars . "
Susan Beeners reported that the purpose of Site Plan Review is to
look at the engineering and the landscaping to see that the
t echnical approvals are being taken care of as much as possible .

Memo to Planning Board - From Town Board
A memo dated August 6 , 1994 was submitted to the Planning Board
✓ egarding Public Hearings on Final Site Plans .
" When Final Site Plans are submitted to the Planning Board for
approval and there are no substantial changes between the General
Site Plan and the Final Site Plan , no public hearing shall be
called . If the Planning Board feels there are substantial changes
and call a public hearing , only changes in the plan shall be
addressed . This will help insure a timely processing of proposed
projects . "
Councilperson Steiner explained the memo from the Board was in
response to many concerns related to public hearings . Many issues
that come up at additional hearings only serve to antagonize , put
people on the defensive and bring up issues that have been reviewed
repeatedly . He said his interpretation of the zoning law is that
if the final site plan differs significantly from a general plan
and / or local law that was approved by the Town Board , then it needs
a public hearing .
