any unusual expenditures coming up for the Planning Board . Sue
P oelvoorde will be contacting Alex Rachun about the Master Plan

WAL - MART ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY
K rys asked the Members if they had read the article in the
Ithaca Journal regarding the City of Ithaca having to appropriate
$ 17 , 000 out of contingency funds to do a final environmental
assessment for Wal - Mart . If they ( Wal - Mart ) continue with the idea
t hat they might come to Ulysses , could the Town end up in a
position to have to do something like that , queried Krys ? Perhaps
in their private ordinance they have to share the cost with the
d eveloper , offered David . Does the Town ordinance address this ?
D avid mentioned that he will talk to Alex about that .
BUSINESS DISTRICT
Until the Town Board responds on the Residential Districts ,
t he Members will continue with the possible Business Districts .
D avid reminded the Members of the possibilities that they had
d iscussed earlier . They are :
Low Impact - Commercial / Professional Office
Existing B2 ( Auble ' s )
Present Business District plus light industry
K rys queried about the distinction between light and heavy
industry . The size , larger , could mean more impact , so perhaps it
could be considered heavy . David commented that some environmental
✓ egulations have really gotten out of hand . Therm is a classic
example of overkill .
David asked the Members if the above distinctions in thee
B usiness Districts were the direction that they wanted to go ?
G regg said it sounded good to him .
The Members discussed the importance of a feeder road into
business areas . They produce less impact on major highways . The
airport has a good example . Having setbacks significantly larger ,
410 off highways might help suggested David .
