TOWN PLANNING BOARD TOWN OF ULYSSES MAY 12, 1997 Present: David Tyler, Peter Demjanec, Alex Rachun,Gail Zabawsky,Greg Hoffinire,Rick Gieger Krys Cail The meeting came to order at 6 : 01 pm. iMr. Rachun explained that Mr.David Klein is requesting to change the activities in the building located at Trumansburg Rd. to continue the auto repair, but to also incorporate a small marine motor repair. Currently the development district is 20 plus acres 500 feet deep and in reality they are using the development district guide lines, that will not allow any more build out . Mr. Rachun asked how they can facilitate what is seemingly good for both the town and for Mr. Klein? He noted that they should possibly revaluate the development district. Instead of having 1700 feet of frontage restrict it to 700 feet and keep the depth the same and, incorporate some other activities within the district . He feels that in that way the amendment for the planned development district may be successful. He feels that they have no other avenue at this time because the Town Board created this development district . Mr. Klein's business is already active but he is not running the way he should, because he has this build out . Mr Rachun asked if this is a use variance and should they bring it to the board of zoning appeals for a use variance? He stated that his feeling is that Mr.Klein will not be granted a use variance. Mr. Rachun noted that they do have a brief from the town attorney Mr. Bruce Wilson stating that i was done correctly an amendment is an avenue that they could use. An amendment to a PUD if t Y and prudently showing that the town is concerned about their development district ' s. Also that they may be constricting it to some extent and along with the duties and other activities which would mean no other build out. This would most likely be successful. He noted that the board met last week and tentatively thought that this may be a way to work this out . Mr. Rachun explained that there had been a past situation where the American Legion asked for a development district to put the American Legion on Rte . 227 . The planning board through a series of deliberation gave the approval passed it on to the town board and the town board gave its approval but the town attorney stated that it was not a good idea. Mr. Tyler noted theat the development district was overturned based on a technical S .E . Q.R. violation. He noted that he feels that this Mr. Rachun's suggestion protects both the advocate and the town. ( 1 ) • TOWN PLANNING BOARD TOWN OF ULYSSES MAY 12, 1997 Mr. Rachun noted that one of the buildings has burned down and Mr. Klein would like to replace it he noted that the reason it was included in the development district is because they have an auto repair facility within 300 feet of this building and the zoning will not allow an auto . repair facility within 300 feet of a residence. The Board members examined the maps provided by Mr. Klein. • Mr. Rachun noted that one of the board members brought up the issue of the 500 feet of auto sales display and that may be something that could be reduced.
