PUBLIC HEARING-LAND USE Meeting June 10, 2010
Motion made by Councilperson Barown to open the Public Hearing. Second by Councilperson Horvath.
Councilperson Barown suggest there be a revision to reduce the size of Commercial Land to be regulated.
Walter Buist Planning Board Chairman also suggested the Public Highways entering the Town be regulated.
Paul Solomon also supports the idea of Land Use regulations for the Town. Mr. Solomon also suggested the Town hire a Professional Planner that knows all of the laws so the document can withstand a court challenge. Need to merge the Comprehensive Plan with the Document.
Andy Minnig agrees with Mr. Solomon’s suggestion of hiring a Professional Planner and thanks all who have worked on the Document thus far.
Councilperson Cornwell would like the definition of a Wet Land changed. The document should use 12.4 acres by the NYSDEC or Army Corps of Engineer’s definition.
Councilperson Barown also questioned the definition of a junkyard. 1 or more unlicensed vehicles is currently the definition he would like to see this increased to2 or more unlicensed vehicles. Councilperson Barown is also going to check with the village to see if they are intending to have Land Use document as well. There shouldn’t be competing documents.
There being no further discussion by the public present a motion is made by Councilperson Barown to close the Public Hearing. Second by Councilperson Johnson. Public Hearing closed at 7:27PM.
