A vote on the resolution resulted as follows : Farrell Aye Gagnon Aye Hardesty Aye Wilbur Aye Weitzel Aye Carried Unanimously Approval of September 20, 1995 Planning Board Minutes A motion was made by William Farrell and seconded by Joel Gagnon to approve the September 20, 1995 Planning Board Minutes as published . A vote on the motion resulted as follows : Carried Unanimously Water and Sewer Information Report Joel Gagnon reported he has researched what is available for water and sewer district assistance for planning and funding in Tompkins County. His contact with the Tompkins County Planning Department said that there is no money available at the County level but they are willing to lend assistance if we want to apply to the State for funding. He received information from Lansing and learned that they worked with a the State Water Resource Group that works with groups in the area of small sewage plants. Small plants are created and then linked together. Mfikticern He received a draft report of the study by Tom of the requirements for business for water and sewer. The most yignificant findings were that municipal water and sewer systems are considered essential by theilexisTig manufacturing businesses in the County and by those who Oare engaged in the selection'(rrlarketing and potential development sites. The general feeling is that the potential for the development in the County would be enhanced if a strategic plan for extension of existing water and sewer systems could be developed to implement it. Joel suggested that what the Planning Board could do now, is to give some thought to how to deal with the question of where businesses locate, how they grow and how to deal with them. He suggested that TomiCialerleorn or Barbara Blanchard be invited to a meeting. i eAwkarn Discussion : Susan reported that the Town has submitted a grant proposal and that part of that request is to do an inventory of businesses in Danby and to look at soils to determine suitable areas for commercial development. If a grant is awarded, it will give us the basis for making commercial sites. She is working on developing an inventory of home occupations. U 3 Planning Board Minutes October 18, 1995 The Board discussed the existing commercial zones and looked at other possible areas that could be suitable to zone as commercial areas or be considered for commercial use. , Mary Lou suggested that a minimum charge for a business license per year be collected and applied to the cost of a brochure or directory. It would be a way of keeping track of the businesses in Danby. Nancy suggested that obtaining information of businesses located in Danby for a brochure could be a Community Council project. • Recycling of Construction and Household Materials Ralph ragthat the recycling and grinding of construction materials cannot be considered as a home occupation. To start a recycling business a permit must be obtained from the State of New York. Many operations are having difficulty locating a market or site to take the recycled construction materials. Mary Boardman - Retreat Center Susan reported that she received a letter from a South Danby Road resident indicating that the terms of the special permit for Nature ' s Song Retreat Center are being violated because there are so many seminars . She will contact Ms . Boardman and inform her that her operation is exceeding the terns , at least at face value, of the permit. Possible Revisions to Subdivision Regulations Susan reported to the Board that they should consider possible revisions to the Town of Danby Subdivision Regulations to minimize the administrative burden that many small subdivision applications require. . Joel said that the purpose of subdivision review by the Planning Board is to be made aware of potential problems through SEQR review. He thinks requirements for one lot subdivisions should require a site plan review by the Code Enforcement Officer to see if there was any problem. He would like to see subdivision and construction sites of new building reported to thePlanningBoard so they know where building is going on. Small lot line adjustments that are not creating a new lot should not need to be reported. Discussion : Joel said that in the past the Town has allowed building along roads so that new roads are not created. The problem is that if you are trying to maintain the rural character you loose it when you line the roads with houses . Bill said that a landowner cannot use his back lands at this time without subdivision approval bythePlanningBoard. The Town does not want to maintain more roads , but there is a 150 ' road frontage requirement for access to a back lot. He thinks we should allow a right of way for a driveway to back lands for individual lots. We are not taking advantage of the road frontage by requiring 150' for right of way. Susan will draft possible changes to our subdivision regulations for the Board to review. ADJOURNMENT : On a motion the meeting adjourned at 10 : 10 P . M. Respectfully submitted, COY , da Carol W.
