PLANNING BOARD
Councilman Verola read the following report:
Town of Charlton Planning Board Report to the Town Board April 2, 2006 submitted by Susan York - Clerk to the Planning Board
The Town of Charlton Planning Board last met on Monday, March 20, 2006. During this meeting, no public hearings were held, three of the four open subdivision applications were discussed, and a pre-application conference was held. In addition, two unscheduled referrals from the Town of Galway Planning Board were discussed
1) Heflin/Durst (255-1-40.1,41, 43.1, 43.2, 43.3): Twenty three lot subdivision of 87 acres owned by Gary Heflin and Dean Durst on Swaggertown Road. The subdivision application was accepted by the Planning Board in June, 2005 and is in the preliminary review phase working on engineering details. In the March meeting, it was resolved that Planning Board Attorney William Keniry write a letter to the applicants requesting them to state their intentions with respect to the application, due to the protracted inactivity at the Planning Board level. 2) DeNooyer/Van Guilder (235-1-44 & 235-1-67.2): The applicant desires a two lot subdivision of 80+ acres on route 147. Concerns regarding acceptable soil and water conditions for adequate perc raised in January’s public hearing led to a request for perc tests on the subject parcel. In that the applicant has requested that action by the Planning Board be put on hold until May, when perc and soil tests can be conducted, there was no March discussion. 3) Nigriny (247-1-50.12): Two lot subdivision of 5.3 acres owned by John and Regina Nigriny on the corner of Sweetman and Jenkins Roads. The requested subdivision does not meet Charlton’s zoning ordinance setback requirements and was referred to the ZBA for an area variance. The ZBA denied the area variance in January. In that neither a new subdivision plan has been submitted, nor a formal withdrawal has been received, the Planning Board passed resolution 2006-05 to deny the subdivision. 4) Kenyon/Van Guilder (223-1-11.11): This four lot subdivision application was new for March. The applicants own 22.92 acres on Rocky Ridge Road and Jersey Hill Road, and request to create 3 new building lots. Planning Board review remains in-progress while the applicant’s representative works to provide the additional information requested. 5) Davidson (246-3-61.1) This pre-application conference was requested to discuss tentative plans for the purchase and subdivision of 4+ acres from William Grabo on Crane Street in order to create two new building lots. The plan, as presented, would not meet Charlton’s Zoning Ordinance requirements for road frontage and created an undesirable situation of a new home behind and in close proximity to an existing home. The Planning Board suggested that the Davidson’s pursue just one new lot and not two. 6) Leahy (212-1-29.1) Town of Galway referral of an application to create a 6.9 acre parcel from 128 acres on route 147. The Planning Board has replied “no comment”. 7) Lent (213-1-51) Town of Galway referral of an application for a special use permit for a horse-boarding operation, located on Featherbed Lane, on land in both Charlton and Galway. Planning Board Attorney William Keniry has written to the applicants, and the Chairman of the Town of Galway Planning Board, requesting additional information. An application to the Town of Charlton Planning Board may be required.
RECORDS ADVISORY BOARD
Chairman Heather Scribner stated the board would meet in May.
Supervisor Grattidge stated the town board has all town board minutes on electronic imaging software.
TECHNOLOGY ADVISORY BOARD
Chairman John Tasse stated they have reviewed the town hall plans and are looking forward to the final set. They are continuing with the strategy for the new town hall server. A survey would be passed around to ask departments what they need. The Technology board looked into the GIS system for the Planning Board and concluded that the county’s system is the best out there. It does run a year behind. Member, George Eggleston stated the Town Justices turned over a laptop and found there is nothing wrong with it other than having only 120 of memory. Supervisor Grattidge stated he received information from the county on state contract for a lap top. It is a reasonable rate than buying directly from DELL. George Eggleston stated from his experience his brother is a justice and any computer purchases would be through a grant. These would be a desk top. Councilman Lippiello stated Justice Ketchum would need a lap top to use now when he is in court. This would allow him to look up a record while in court. This is one of his main concerns.
TOWN CLERK
Heather Scribner read the following report:
As a service to our residents, you can now obtain applications for US Passport (DS-11) and US Passport By Mail (DS-82) at the Town Clerk's Office during regular business hours.

You can find this information on the Charlton Web site and an article will be in the Town Board newsletter.
Recently Susan York Deputy Town Clerk and Clerk for the Planning Board attended a workshop by the NYS Archives called Managing Maps & Plans. One item suggested was for Mylar’s from subdivisions should be stored with acid free sheets of paper separating each Mylar so that there is no transfer from one to the next during long term storage. At the Charlton Town Hall we store our Mylar’s flat in a special steel filing cabinet [preferred method]. To date we have not used sheets of paper to separate them.
