                                                Dave Plante - C. T. Male          Present

 

J.Havranek and F.Greitzer asked how they should address to ZRC use of Sub-committees and work shops with less than a quorum to hold illegal sessions to get around open meetings law. F. Greitzer does not want to participate in illegal meetings. Jeanne feels it is their way to get rid of you so no one speaks against their ideas.

 

Fred asked what the ZRC was originally charged to do. The answer was to address ZBA/PB problems that arise from applications that are not covered in the code and come up with a solution that goes with the Comprehensive Plan.

 

ZRC wants the PB to do the frame work on the codes that are in need of possible revision.

Motion made by B. Liggan, seconded by J. Walsh that the Planning Board will take at least one item from the list of items to be revised each month to brainstorm..

Roll Vote: 4 Yes.

 

Motion made by B Liggin seconded by J Havranek to have C. T. Male contact Behan Associates to clarify the scope of work and collaborate on how the two consultants will interact  Roll Vote: 4 Yes.

 

Motion by J. Walsh, 2nd by J. Havranek to start with # 4 (75-48(B)) & 5 from the list of codes to be reviewed and then do #2 (75-21).  . Roll Vote; 4 Yes.

 

#4        already in the works, just need Mary Lou Christina to finalize draft changes to the County MOA.

#5        need comments from Leslie regarding application process.

 

#2        A future meeting is pending regarding this item with Planning Board members, Aero       Star, Mike Moriello (attorney for Aero Star), Tom Fiore, Dave Massimi, and           Patrick McDonough.

 

J.Walsh wants to know about items that come up in front of board that need to be addressed at that time not wait for the next list. It was stated that nothing is stopping the PB or ZBA from making a change and presenting it to the Town Board for a vote. If TB wants it to go to ZRC before voting that is up to them. B. Liggan stated #6 was done years ago by an Ad-Hoc committee that was set up by the supervisor at that time.

 

We need to invite Supervisor McDonough to the Oct. meeting and get something straighten out.
