Ulster Cohousing #2007-18 Major Subdivision
Statement from Fred Greitzer which he would like on record as follows:
Last
night after the UCPB meeting the #2 person on the staff who is a
relative to the applicant approached me and said we (the Planning Board)
were bias and giving the applicant a hard time because we were not in
favor of the ownership structure.
I
informed her this was not true on my part and pointed out the Wild Rose
application as an example of convectional structure who were going
through the same experience.
I
was not comfortable and spoke several times with Chairman Liggans on
this matter and felt that person like me can’t say a word about the
application, I felt improperly influenced and informed the Director of
County Planning that I was going to make a statement and put it on
record. I feel the UCPB should be aware of this and Chairman Liggans has
agreed to Email the director about this statement.
Issues that need to be addressed are Storm water and the Declaration of Restrictive Covenants.
A copy of the Declaration of Restrictive Covenants will be forwarded to the Town’s attorney for review.
Joe
Havranek added to the minutes it was in detailed explained to the
applicant the difference between conventional buildout verses cluster
development and cluster development are subject to different regulations
including 75-26 code and open space preservation is the main
requirement.
