He presented a road map showing necessary improvement to N.

Trustee Camp said he felt uncomfortable with the University's proposed meetings with neighbors, stating that Trustees are obligated to find out first hand directly from Villagers what theywant. Since University official s feel that this type of "living room" meeting with neighbors at this particular time is essential in order to gain their input, it was agreed that two Trustees will be present at these meetings so as not to mislead residents into thinking that the plan has prior Board approval. The Board reviewed with the Engineer the scheme showing possible driveway changes in the area of the Village Green /Community corners. It was agreed to proceed with the original sidewalk construction plan on Hanshaw Road in front of the commercial area rather than to wait until the driveway relocation issue has been resolved. There was discussion concerning Joe Ciaschi's informal request for additional development of his Community Corners. Engineer Rogers explained Mr. Ciaschi's proposal in detail and the Board reviewed Resolution 3623 dated July 18, 1985 outlining conditions set forth in the Building /Zoning permit issued to Mr. Ciaschi at that time, and in particular, #5 (ammended 8/19/85) barring erection of another building on the property and #9 - the Board will not reconsider the matter of land coverage. Decision is deferred until such time as Mr. Ciaschi makes formal proposal. In connection with the request from Tompkins County Trust Company for expansion of the branch at the CommunityCorners, it was agreed that the issue should be settled between the landowner and the Bank. Motion by Trustee Wheeler, second by Trustee Camp: RESOLUTION 3931 - DENY REQUEST FROM T.C.T.C. FOR EXPANSION TO BANK BRANCH VOTED to deny the request from the Tompkins County Trust Company for expansion of their branch at the Community Corners, based on the fact that they are not owners of the land and also, that when the Board considered this area in adopting the earlier resolution (stated above), this area was considered as part of Ciaschi's property and as far as the Board had determined, Mr. Ciaschi is still the owner. Unanimously passed. Trustees Camp, Fleming, Kira, Pimentel, Searle and Wheeler voted yes. Regarding Ciaschi's plan for development on E. Upland Road, it was agreed to table discussion until Mr. Ciaschi has submitted a request in writing.
