COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING

STEERING COMMITTEE

MINUTES

JANUARY 2, 2006

Meeting was called to order at 7:00 by Chairman David Wood.

There was discussion of the County wide open space meeting by Dave Adams.  Dave said the next meeting of this group will be January 9^th. 

Dave Adams made a motion to approve the November 2005 minutes.  Marv Schorr seconded.  Carried.

Dave Adams made several changes to Goal 3.  He suggested under Objective 3.1, deleting Strategy 11 because it is similar to #2.  The committee agreed.  Under same Objective, Dave feels #13 is too stringent.  He stated that often times there is no need to require site plan review.  Site plan can be optional.  After discussion the Committee voted to eliminate this strategy.

It was decided to ask Chris, upon completion of discussions, to re-type the objectives with all the changes.

Goal 4, 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 there were no changes.

Goal 5 Maria McCulloch rewrote.  She is making changes and will email them to the committee.

Goal 7:  It was agreed to accept Dave Adams comments.

Goal 12:  #4, mobile homes are allowed for temporary purposes.  The committee felt this item is not necessary as current laws are sufficient.  This will be deleted. 

Goal 13:  5a – This will be deleted.  Committee felt it wasn’t practical.

Christy Schrader made a motion to accept all of Dave Adam’s changes and have Chris add them to the changes being made to the goals. 

The next meeting will be on Monday, February 6^th at the Town Hall.  This will be a workshop with the Town Board, Planning Board and ZBA.

Meeting adjourned at 7:55 P.M.
