Town Planning Board:
• Lorraine Bosma, chairperson is in attendance tonight. She reports on the Public Hearing for the communication tower being extended and small generator on the ground project on Rendering Works Road. There was no public in attendance for the public hearing. The site plan presented was well put together and the Planning Board had 30 days to ask additional question. However, with that said the Company presenting the project does not need the permission of the PB to move forward with the project. Lorraine stated as projects come forward such as Solar projects etc, the Town Board should have some control or Home Rule regulations. These projects can present to the Town Planning Board as a courtesy but they do not need permission from the Town Planning Board. The State can supersede any Home Rule regulations. Lorraine also requested the Town Board hire a person who can take a look at the proposed Solar Law and Town Comprehension plan and update the plan. The Town Planning Board had several sessions with the County Planning Board and they reviewed the site plan law and were very comfortable with how the site plan law is written.
• Councilperson Cornwell will make contact with some professional people he knows for guidance in how to move forward with the proposed Solar Law.
• Lorraine also would like to talk about the issue of a Town Code Enforcer. The County Code Enforcer will not enforce local Town Code Laws. Lorraine would like the Town Board to take this into consideration for future projects.
Village:
• Town and Village Board Minutes and info- www.cherryvalleyny.us
• Parking lot that was deeded to the Village with the stipulation the Town has first refusal to buy back. The Village is selling .24 acres for $3,000.00. There was a discussion held by the Board regarding this issue.
Highway Department:
• Superintendent Field reports the new employee started and is doing well.
• Doing some cold patching and getting ready for spring.
• The tractor broom is in very bad shape. Motion is made by Councilperson Waterfield to allow the Superintendent of Highways Martin Field to research purchasing a new mower with attachments. 2nd by Councilperson Vanderwerker. All in favor 5yes 0No
• Superintendent Garretson states we have more trucks than we have drivers. He would like the old international truck and take to the Spring auction.
Councilperson Cornwell inquired about eligible expenses to submit for the American Rescue Plan. Councilperson Waterfield stated the funding will come from the County.
Public Questions, Comments and concerns…………..2 minute limit per request
Phil Durkin gave an update on the Foxes Den motocross situation on East Hill.
Lorraine is under the impression the Town Attorney sent a letter to the Foxes Den individuals. Lorraine has not had a response to her 2 emails to the Town Attorney. If such a letter exits the Town Supervisor Garretson would have been CC or a copy of such letter would have been sent to him and he has not received anything from the Town Attorney. Lorraine wants to clarify, even though the Land Use Law addresses noise nuisances this still does not preclude the land owner from proceeding with a motocross track on their land or any additional land purchased.
Motion to adjourn- Councilperson Cornwell Seconded-Councilperson Waterfield
There being no further business meeting adjourned at 8:04PM.
Next Town Board meeting is April 08, 2021 AT 7:00PM
