Communications : Affidavit of Transmittal Recommendations from the Planning Board Tompkins County Review Pursuant to SS : 239-1 and-m of the New York State Municipal Law SEQR Supervisor Inman reported that due to a clerical error that a second public hearing would be held on May 30 , 2001 and tonight' s public comment would be entered as record. Supervisor Inman reported to the public that the proposed local law A Local Law Amending the Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map to Remove Provisions That Presently Reduce Lot Sizes, Frontage Dimensions , and Setbacks in Medium and Low Density Residential Zones Along Existing Roads k I .� : 1349 2 Public Hearing Minutes Amending Zoning Ord . May 14, 2001 Shown as a Solid Line on the Zoning Map and to Modify Certain Provisions Related to Pre-Existing Lots and Nonconforming Lots of Record referred to as the 400' strip is first on the Agenda. Susan Beeners presented a map to the public that outlined the areas that are medium density and low density areas and explained the changes in the lot sizes along the roadways are intended to reflect medium and low density. The high density along roadways in medium and low density zones would be removed . She said that the lots that conform to the present one acre along the roadway would be grand fathered . Those lots would be considered a buildable lot as long as they can comply with the new yard setbacks that will be in place . She reported that Tompkins County Assessment office has determined that the assessment property values would be minimal . Comments from the public : William Farrell - objects to changing ordinance and increase in frontage to 200' Robert Roe - agrees with W. Farrell and objects to changing ordinance and thinks it may drive the cost of building here unaffordable to many . Sarah Newman - strongly in favor of the proposal . Elizabeth Owens-Roe - apposed to change in lot sizes and cost of maintenance of roadways in possible cluster development Ames Brown - all details of this change are not included in the proposed local laws . He suggested that all the residents of Danby should be notified . Jennene Boehme-is definately in favor of this amendment and has concerns about environmental changes that come with development. Pat Woodworth - favors change and thinks that ordinance should reflect stated density . Pam Arsenault - objects to change as there is a big difference in lots of one and two acres . It limits usage of land . George Arsenalult - agrees with his wife and even though they have land they will lack frontage for his children to build along the road without land locking the back lands . Walter Sczepanski - thinks the ordinance should stand as it is now and does not see it as a benefit but a loss to owners of smaller lots and once you start making nonconforming lots . Linda Dorn - objects to amendments to the zoning ordinance and does not think it helps a community . Olivia Vent - approves of the change particularily in the low density areas . It is important that people attending this meeting understand that the Planning Board is working on a comprehensive plan and that making changes is an interim measure until it has been approved and guidelines for looking for zoning changes at a later date are in place . Debbie Benson - would like to know how this proposed change has come about . Bob Strichartz - in favor this change and thinks that they are reasonable and eliminate a loop hole that people didn' t know about. Danby is growing at a reasonable rate . Willard Daetsch - approves of the change and agrees with B . Strichartz and O . Vent . Eileen Wright - approves of the change and has concerns about septic systems . Gerillermo Metz- approves of the change as there appears to be a loop hole in our present ordinance . D an Klein - thinks this is a good proposal and it is important that the average resident of Danby can understand it . Sarah Ruebenstein - approves of the change in the ordinance and thinks that the language should be as clear as possible . E ric Miller - in support of change . Faith Chase - agrees with the change Robert Chase - agrees with the change . B ridgid Cooper - concerned for land use and is in support of the zoning change . Charley Tilton - favors change and thinks we should have some consistency in the ordinance . Martin Sternstein - favors change in ordinance as he is concerned with changes in his neighborhood and the buindings in his neighborhood. Lamar Herrin - approves of amendment Ken Horst - he understands that the comprehensive plan is coming along well and asked why there is urgency of passing this ordinance prior to the completion. U nidentified Resident - asked what is the estimated time for completion of the comprehensive plan J0 3 Public Hearing Minutes Amending Zoning Ord . May 14, 2001 (Supervisor Inman reported that the Board hopes the plan is completed by the end of this year. ) Elizabeth Roe - reiterated that if you widen frontage and you have residents and land owners who are not at this meeting that you have the tendancy to force subdivisions behind front property . It is not a formula for lower density and will not keep lower density . She asked the Board to keep this on the table until the comprehensive plan is in place. Nancy Weitzel - Low density is the whole chunk of land not what' s along the road. Olivia Vent - reported that the Planning Board has had a discussion on this issue of why address this now when the comprehensive plan is supposed to be finished. The general feeling after discussion was that the comprehensive plan will be some time to completion and it still has to go through approval of the Town Board. It may be six months before the Planning Board could look at specific zoning changes . She thinks that this change is an appropriate measure at this time . Robert Roe - At the Planning Board there was some discussion about whether changes to zoning are ever interums . Sue Howe - asked if any thought was given to roads now in the low density zones that are close to the higher density zones so that those particular sections are addressed verses the more rural areas where you definately want lower density such as where half of Town Line Road is in Newfield and half in Danby. Pamela Arsenault - what happens to those non-conforming lots . ( Supervisor Inman responded that those are simply grandfathered.) Ames Brown - thinks we do not have all the facts especially about the hydrology. There is not enough information about land. Robert Roe - he was going to come to the Board tonight to ask the Board to adopt a resolution tonight to urge the County Board to reinstate the $ 10,000 for seed money to start the acquifer study . PROPOSED LOCAL LAW TO ELIMINATE MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL ZONES FROM THE COMERCIAL TARGET AREA Supevisor Inman asked the Code Enforcement Officer to explain the present ordinance and the proposed local law. The Code Enforcement Officer used maps of the Town to show where the medium density residential zones are located . She explained that the proposed change is to make it so that new commercial zones could only be established in the high density areas and not in the medium areas . The only way with this new law that you could establish new commercial in low density or medium zones would be if those zones were zoned high density first and then to commercial or perhaps a Planned Development Zone . SEQR things related to this proposed local law are that in West Danby the medium density zones are quite limited by topography and It would be difficult to determine where a commercial zone could be established . In central Danby there is virtually no development in the medium density zone now as it is mostly old field and some limited farm land. There are no real environmental constraints and a portion of the medium density zone on Comfort Zone is in an Ag District as set up by Tompkins County . Tompkins County Planning Department recommended that there are no impacts related to County interests but did point out that the Town might consider an area along the east side of 96B where this area was part of the designated commercial center in the Commercial Center Revitilazation Plan. Supervisor Inman said that the Planning Board has submitted a Resolution to the Board . The recorded vote from the Planning Board was inacurate and corrected . Corrected Vote - May 14, 2001 PLANNING BOARD RESOLUTION NO . 4 OF APRIL 30, 2001 Report to Town Board Related to Proposed Local Law Amending the Zoning Ordinance to Eliminate Medium Density Residential Zones from the Commercial Target Area By Bob Roe : Seconded by Nancy Weitzel WHEREAS, the Town Board of the Town of Danby has transmitted to the Planning Board for its recommendation a Proposed Local Law Amending the Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map to F (I ' It` 4n. Llx . r ..=.. ....- x.—=4.. 1351 4 Public Hearing Minutes Amending Zoning Ord . May 14, 2001 Eliminated Medium Density Residential Zones from the Commercial Target Area; and WHEREAS, Section 1200 of the Town of Danby Zoning Ordinance provides that proposed amendments of changes to the Zoning Ordinance be referred to the Planning Board for a report thereon; and WHEREAS, the proposed local law is a Type I Action for which the Town Board is legislatively determined to act as Lead Agency in environmental review; and for which the Planning Board is an involved agency in making a report to the Town Board; and the Tompkins County Department of Planning is an involved agency with respect to General Municipal Law 239-m review; and WHEREAS , the Planning Board has reviewed the proposed local law and has also reviewed the Long Environmental Assessment Forms and review prepared by the Code Enforcement Officer ; NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS RESOLVED , that the Planning Board reports to the Town Board that it cannot make a favorable recommendation at this time as it is not consistent with current planning concepts encouraging density in or near traditional population centers . A roll call vote on the resolution resulted as follows : (Three - ayes, One nay, one abstention) Farrell Aye Hansen Aye Klein Nay Roe Aye Vent Abstained Weitzel Aye Gilbert Aye Carried With Reservations Comments From the Public : Robert Roe - What this resolution is that by precluding commercial development in the medium density areas you basically end commercial development in central Danby. There won' t be any shops or businesses because there are not any high density lots available for this any more . You are saying that there will be no shopping or services in Danby. Councilperson Strichartz said she thinks this is reasonable to do it now and the reason for doing it now is that that things can happen that cannot be reversed . Unless we have some safeguards for people in residential neighborhoods . It may be possible with this to arrange some sort of resistant things so that residential neighborhoods are protected against commercial development. Olivia Vent - Reported that there wasn ' t enough information presented to the Planning Board available to make it clear as to what type of activity would be allowed. Lamar Herrin - When a business was allowed in his low density neighborhood his property value declined twenty-five percent. Pat Woodworth - there are concerns about making the medium density commercial target areas . Commercial development is physically not possible in the West Danby area so why say it is a target area? The problem with having a commetrcial target zone without knowing what the commercial targets means you could get something you don ' t like . If you want to allow for certain commercial targets then you should make the ordinance specify that in advance . The problem is not knowing what the commercial targets could be. Bob Strichartz - Supports what Pat Woodworth said . Clearly this is something that has to be discussed carefully by the Planning Board in the future . In the meantime we would be a lot better if Target Zone were elimated. Dan Klein - The area from 96B to Comfort Road to Lieb Road is what we are talking about and r 1 1 3 52 5 Public Hearing Minutes Amending Zoning Ord . May 14, 2001 most people would agree that this is not a place for development. He thinks that along 96B is where development probably should occur. i� Supervisor Inman reported that the public hearing will be set for Wednesday, 30 , 2001 at the meeting following this hearing.
