Mike Baden reported briefly on the September Town Board Audit meeting where he and Tom Shepstone gave the Town Board an update on the progress of the Task Force
Discussion:
Map discussion continued with a discussion regarding I and R-5 zones.
Results as follows:
· Area on Kyserike Rd. near Williams Lumber was discussed. This area had been reviewed at the prior meeting but was subsequently discovered to be an existing I Zone. The actual I Zone consists of 3 parcels behind Williams. Two of the parcels are bisected by the rail trail and none of the parcels appear to have right of ways for access. These parcels were a former creamery and also an old lime kiln is on one. After discussion it was determined these 3 parcels would be designated
AR-3 and the Williams Lumber and Lapp properties would be designated AB-3
· Area near Friedlander Dr. (former PepperTree Furniture Co.) on Samsonville Rd. discussed as possible I Zone. No changes made. Remains as R-1 Zone.
· Another existing I Zone at the intersection of Lucas Tpke. And Route 209 was discussed. This consists of 3 parcels. Vic DeMayo’s, the casting factory, and a vacant lot. No changes made. DeMayo’s and casting factory in B Zone and vacant lot in AR-3 Zone
· Areas Zoned RC (White areas on map) by the former Task Force were reviewed as the former had set density as 3 acres and the new naming will be R-5 with a density of 5 acres. Parcels were reviewed on a parcel by parcel basis. Properties owned by the State or in conservation easements were designated as R-5. Other large parcels also to remain as R-5. A number of parcels changed to either AR-3 or R-2 Zoning.
As the mapping appeared to be possible to complete this evening, Chair O’Halloran requested extending the normal 9 PM end time to complete the map. All present agreed. The Draft Zoning Map has now been completed.
Meeting was adjourned at 9:30 PM
