He stated they had a subdivision to review then would be reviewing the mixed use zone. He asked the applicant to introduce themselves and describe the project. Mr. Lawrence Reverby introduced himself as the attorney for the estate of William and Laura Koski . The sons, Steve, Richard, and Carl Koski are also present. The estate was left to the children, they are dividing the property among the siblings . There is no plan to develop or build the lots . The number of lots being divided creates a major subdivision. Mr. Zeserson asked Mr. Rachun ' s opinion of the project . Mr. Rachun stated he does not see any problems . He asked if any of the proposed lots would be combined with a current contiguous lot. Mr. Reverby stated they would not be . f' ' Mr. Wertis asked Mr. Rachun why he would ask that question, is there indication this is a plan? Mr. Rachun stated no , he was just reviewing the map and realized it could happen. Mr.Reverby stated there is no plan for development . If development is proposed it would have to come in front of the Planning Board. Mr. Fry noted that two flag lots would be created with this plan. An additional parcel would be created that is not 1 . 65 acres . The discussion regarding the map concluded that in fact a non conforming lot would be created with this division. A lot would be created that would not be conforming, concern as to why this is happening since TG Miller' s listed the requirement in the corner of the map . The applicants will approach TG Miller' s to correct the lot division lines . In addition, it will have to be submitted to the County for a 239 review. Mr. Reverby stated he would like to withdraw the application. The members agreed this would be a logical step and appreciate Mr. Reverby' s cooperation. Mr. Zeserson stated the next order of business is the mixed use area. He stated he would like to review the list they had started at the last meeting. The discussion concluded with the following : Remove Adult Entertainment- AYE- Schneider, Beames, Adams , Zeserson NAY-Wertis, Fry Mr. Wertis stated his rationale is they can control using design standards. Planning Board 04/ 06/ 11 Page 1 Discussion regarding livestock sales, this could create smell, noise, comfortable in a more rural setting. They have chicks at Agway that could be considered Ag Commerce yet interpret this area a more services area. The Comp Plan (Page 48) states this would be an office/transitional type area. While considering this they need to keep in mind this is a transitional area. Remove Artist ' s Studio , including sales of items- AYE-Fry, Schneider, Wertis NAY-Zeserson, Beames, Adams The group discussed bank-drive thru ' s, continued discussion resulted in : Wertis MADE the MOTION, Fry SECONDED the MOTION to allow banking outlets . ALL IN FAVOR The discussion continued as to future development of the area. The antique mall being turned into an office complex . Town law treated different in various areas, the zone would have to be specific to this area. The business uses/zone percentage could this be a tool to control what happens in this area. They want to maintain rural character in this area vs . a strip mall atmosphere on Route 96 . Child care centers, residential, allow or not, it makes sense as the Comp Plan is not clear. Zoning analysis recommend higher density e. g. town houses, condominium ' s but still not clear. The members like this yet it is still not clear. The County is clear that CMC is one node, Jacksonville, and Trumansburg are specifically one node . The County does not want any additional development along Route 96 except in designated areas . A discussion ensued regarding the County specifications, the Comp Plan specifications and what this Board determines acceptable. Mr. Wertis MADE the MOTION, Ms Schneider SECONDED the MOTION, to allow existing residential lots but not include new single residential lots from the zone in the future. AYE-Wertis, Schneider, Beames, Adams, Zeserson NAY- Fry The meeting was adjourned at 8 : 50pm. Respectfully submitted, Robin Carlisle Peck Secretary Planning Board 04/06/ 11 Page 2
