Comprehensive Plan Appendix - DRAFT

As a necessary step toward revising the Village's Zoning laws, the Village of Trumansburg Comprehensive Plan will be amended to
reflect the 2007 annexation of parcels of land at the Village's northwest corner, which includes Auble's Leisure Living Estates. The amendment will be in the form of an added
Appendix, and the Draft copy is available for review here.
The Zoning Revision Committee will be holding a public meeting on Monday, March 23 at 7pm in the main meeting room of the Village Hall to take any comment or input from members
of the community on this draft document. In addition, there will be a formal Public Hearing of the Village Board of Trustees prior to the adoption of any amendment.

Frequently Asked Questions page has been created. The page will be updated as new questions arise, in an effort to keep the community properly
informed during this decision-making process. You can bookmark the page, or check here for updates.
Volunteers Sought for Zoning Rewrite
June 2008
The Village of Trumansburg is looking for Village residents who are interested in participating in the rewriting of the Village's thirty-six year old
zoning ordinance. A committee is being formed to spearhead the project. This committee will be made up of two Village Board members, two Zoning Board of Appeals members, two Planning Board
members, and two members from the community. The eventual makeup of the committee will be set by the Village Board of Trustees.
The committee would meet at least monthly, and the entire rewrite of the zoning ordinance should take approximately one year.
If you are interested in being considered for this committee, please contact Tammy Morse in the Village office at (607)387-6501 or
via email. Please let the Village know about your interest in volunteering no later than noon on Tuesday, July 8th.
Your participation is appreciated!
EMS Task Force Report
June 2008
An informational letter was recently mailed to the residents of the Trumansburg Fire
District regarding the possible move to a system of billing-for-services for the EMS/Ambulance. As a follow up to this, the findings
of the Task Force referenced in that letter are now available online, or at the Village Office.
**Please note: The report makes mention of a desire to submit this proposal to referendum. Since the writing of the report, it has been learned that the State of New York only allows referenda
for certain specific issues, of which this is not one.

Village Approves Annexation
August 2007
At a special meeting of the Village Board of Trustees, held Tuesday night, the Board found in favor of the William J. Auble Petition
for Annexation in a 4-1 vote (Trustee Hart dissenting). Reasons cited by the Board in their finding to approve included long term financial gains, the opportunity to regulate
zoning on the property, the potential for future development, and improved walkability, among others.
Before annexation can become a reality the Ulysses Town Board must also vote in favor of annexation. If they do so, the proposal will be
submitted to a referendum of the registered voters of the territory proposed to be annexed. The Town has stated that their vote will take place on Monday, August 27, at 7pm.
NOTE: The Annexation Approval Findings, and the
Dissenting Opinion are available here and on the Forms Page.
