The Planning Board will meet on the second Wednesday of each month
only. All future fourth Thursday meetings are hereby cancelled until

requested that the Planning Board schedule a time for the continuation of the
public hearing of April 3"d, 2001 . Mr. Kennedy read the letter that was sent to
him and to Mr. Rachun .
The Planning Board re-noted the request for materials that the Franziska Backer
Center was asked to present at previous meetings, which include a site-plan
showing pre-existing and proposed lights. These items are noted in previous
minutes and the clerk will report to Mr. Rachun about this matter.

the Planning Board concerning their revised proposal and items requested at
7 : 30 pm, of the same evening .
In other matters of business:
The Planning Board briefly discussed two Cellular One projects. It was noted that
one project has been completed without Tower Ordinance review, as Mr. Rachun
and the Town's Attorney were of the opinion that the project did not require
Tower Ordinance or Site Plan Review procedures. A second project, to construct
a tower on ' the site of the Trumansburg Fairgrounds is expected, and will require
Tower Ordinance review procedures.
Mr. Geiger asked if the Planning Board should submit the project whereby a
storage building was constructed at the Trumansburg Fair Grounds for 239 I & m
review by Tompkins County. It was noted that this had already been done.
Ms. Horrigan reported that the Main Street Project is underway, and noted that
the Planning Board of Ulysses committed to assist in this project several years
