Gregg moved to accept t he minutes as amended ; Dick seconded . All were in favor ; the motion carried unanimously . The Chairman announced that a mock planning board hear - ing will be taking place on April 21 , 1993 . The one hour presentation will be broadcast live via satellite to various locations and after the presentation viewers will be able to t uestion the panel in Albany over a telephone line . This will take place at TC3 at 6 : 45 P . M . ; room 245 . The questions and answers will begin at 8 : 00 P . M . The cost is $ 10 . 00 per person . The Town Board will vote for approval April 13 , 1993 . The meeting ensued with discussion about Pleasant Grove . When the B2 was passed it was suggested that the Auble Parcel n ot be the only location . The Pleasant Grove location could be a possible site also . David requested that everyone look at the maps that were provided at the meeting , possibly find - ing alternative sites to locate a B2 . Rudd askedXwho decided w here these 44, were located in the first place ? Alex said they basically came out of Assessment. David Tyler read the defini - t ion of the 82 . The Preamble to the B2 listed any exclusions . It is suppose to be less intense than a B1 . Everything that w ent in after the Planning Board recommendation came in by Special Permit . David posed the question where would you put a 82 if the Town decided they wanted one in another location ? Dick asked if a B2 was needed ; and if so , could some areas zoned Commercial be removed when the new B2 is plugged in ? Alex mentioned there were residences on Rt . 96 that wouldn ' t mind having the Commercial status changed . The members per - u sed the maps provided . The roads need to be listed on the map ; mylar overlays would be helpful . The Master Plan Com - mittee will color code the four quadrants of the map at their n ext meeting ( April 6 , ) 993 ) . The Planning Board will use the color key that they arrive at , so everything should be consis4 - ant . Alex mentioned that in the B2 there is a request for some light manufacturing . There is no provision for this else - where . He suggested the Master Plan Committee might want to consider the visual effect of commercial all up and down Rt . 96 and also the transportation effect . Do they want a 30 mph zone all the way into Ithaca ? The possibility of a HUB might be helpful . There are two competing thoughts said David . The first is that Rt . 96 is a high traffic corridor . Second , if you have wall to wall business establishments then you have your basic strip development ; perhaps that wouldn ' t be an u pgrading tendency . Jacksonville has a designated Business * COMMERCIAL 5iT65 X REFERR11J6 TO THE LANpu5e MAP TO CouniTY PeAnATiAJG , TOWN OF ULYSSES 2 PLANNING BOARD MEETING APRIL S , 1993 d istrict but people have to park on Rt . 96 said Alex . Dick said perhaps if the B2 is decided on the American Legion is - sue can be resolved at the same time . The Legion has a plan into the Village for remodeling said Alex . Rudd queried whether spot zoning could be considered an issue . Alex and he agreed that it would be a good idea to look beyond the parcel . Alex reiterated that they do want to do some light manufacturing ( Pleasant Grove ) . Dick stated t hat it would be very helpful economically if there was a d esignated industrial park . Alex agreed stating there is a correlation between low tax rate and that type of business . If you built a $ 100 , 000 . 00 home in the Village of Lansing your tax rate would be a third of what you ' d pay in the Village of Newfield ( because of Lansing ' s larger tax base ) said Alex . The P leasant Grove Bed and Breakfast will not be part of the B2 said Alex . There is a request in for four 2000 square feet o ne story buildings . It will start with one building . The buildings will be filled with office , light manufacturing and retail space . ( There is 6 . 9 acres total , some plantings w ould be used for a buffer . ) Jacksonville is not a viable B usiness district said Alex . What is zoned and what is being u sed are two different things said David . The idea is that businesses are supposed to generate revenue for our community . If we keep spreading them out we lessen the business density said Dick . There would be no , one stop shopping . Alex agreed and said if there was good Commercial land available you could justifiably tell a developer that they had to go to the desig - n ated areas . We don ' t have that here ( except for Auble ' s par - cel ) . The 96 corridor will be focused on at the next Planning B oard Meeting ( April 19 , 1993 ) . The meeting adjourned at 9 : 30 P . M .
