PLANNING BOARD Town of Charlton Planning Board Report to the Town Board August, 2007 submitted by Susan York - Clerk to the Planning Board 08/04/07
The Town of Charlton Planning Board last met on Monday, July 16, 2007 at Town Hall. There was a Public Hearing, three subdivisions were discussed, and resolution 2007-10 was made to deny the Nigriny-Durst application.
1) Gutto (225-1-66.1) At the March 19th meeting, Carmen Gutto came before the Planning Board for a pre-application conference to discuss a 2 lot subdivision of Kathryne Gutto’s 54 acre parcel which borders Division Street and Route 67. The plan did not provide for adequate road frontage on Route 67 and Mr. Gutto was referred to the ZBA to apply for an area variance. The ZBA granted Mr. Gutto an area variance, at their April 10th meeting, which allows the existing driveway cut onto Division Street to be the only road frontage for the parcel to be created with the existing house. The Public Hearing was held July 16th and deliberation continues. 2) Nigriny/Durst (247-1-50.12) At the February meeting, Dean Durst came before the Planning Board for a pre-application conference to discuss the concept plan for a 2 lot subdivision of a parcel on the corner of Jenkins Road and Sweetman Road. The prior attempt to subdivide this parcel failed when the ZBA denied an area variance for the 25 feet needed to meet the 40 foot setback from the pond. A preliminary application for this subdivision was submitted and discussed at the March meeting, and revised for the April meeting. A Public Hearing was held on May 21st and continued at the June 18th, meeting, during which the Public Hearing was closed. An on-site Special Public Meeting was held June 26th for the purpose of walking the property. After continued deliberation, resolution 2007-10 was made to deny the subdivision. 3) Markham (236-1-122) Owner Stephen Markham has applied to the Planning Board for a 2 lot subdivision of a 19+ acre parcel on Cook Road. A couple of years ago, before a lot line change, this land existed as 2 separate parcels. Wetland issues are still being addressed and deliberation continues. The Public Hearing was scheduled for August 20th at 7:45 PM. 4) Heflin/Durst (255-1-40.1,41, 43.1, 43.2, 43.3) . . . In June, 2005, Dean Durst came before the Planning Board to discuss his preliminary application for a 23 lot subdivision on Swaggertown Road. At the request of the applicant, the application was placed on hold in March, 2006 while issues regarding the extension of the water district were addressed as well as allowing time to prepare the detailed engineering required by the Planning Board. At the April 16th meeting, the new maps received on 04/09/2007 were distributed. The project will be placed back in active status when the requested escrow funding has been paid.

The gentleman has created a junk yard. He has over 15 unlicensed vehicles. Mrs. Breault stated that she has spoken to the Zoning Officer on Numerous occasions. The Zoning Office did issue a stop order permit, building continued. Mrs. Breault stated that she was told that nothing was going on, on the property and it is still going on. Mrs. Breault stated that when she bought her property on Westline Road the taxes were less than $1600.00 and paid $4000.00 last year. Mrs. Breault stated that she wouldn’t of put $100,000.00 into the house if she new that there was going to be a junk yard next door. Mrs. Breault stated that she bought the towns Zoning Ordinance Book and there is nothing on Junk Yards in the zoning. There is also burning of tires, waste and construction debris on the property. The gentleman put a driveway on someone else’s property. It is now going through legalities to get the gentleman off the property. Now a building sits three feet off Dr. Hecklers property. Mrs. Breault asked the Town Board where she goes from here. Mrs. Breault stated that she has investigated the licensed repair shop number and it is a repair shop located in Schenectady. Mrs. Breault stated if the gentleman is running an illegal repair shop he shouldn’t be able to continue it. Mrs. Breault stated that if the town tells her that it is okay for the gentleman to run a repair shop show where it states this. Mrs. Breault stated that she had to get a permit for all improvements that were done to her house. Mrs. Breault stated that she feels that Mr. Barns should not be allowed to run a repair shop with out proper licenses.
Supervisor Grattidge stated that the Zoning Officer and Building Inspector are well a where of the activity that is occurring. Supervisor Grattidge stated that he believes one of the land owners was in the Zoning Office and they are working on clarifying where the property is. Supervisor Grattidge stated that the Zoning Officer is a where of the situation and is working on it. Councilman Gardner stated that he had spoken with the Zoning Officer. The issue is with the real land owner. The person who owns the land is the person in trouble not the person who is using it.
Attorney VanVranken stated that there are two issues here. One the land owner who is responsible for any building permits. Based on the description heard tonight, there are no permits to run a junk yard in Charlton. Attorney VanVranken stated that he has heard nothing tonight that is in compliance with the Zoning Ordinance. How ever, his suggestion is to pair out the facts and act. If the allegations bare out, there are appropriate actions. Attorney VanVranken advises encouraging the process through the Zoning Enforcement Officer. Mrs. Beault thanked the Town Board for listening to her concerns.
Resident Craig Kominoski stated that he has concerns with the towns issue on investigation Assessor options. The town had an informational meeting and after that the town was supposed to have a discussion of all the options that took place. Mr. Kimonoski stated that he was not sure if that meeting was postponed or not going to happen. Mr. Kominoski stated that he has deep concerns with that, not only as a resident, he has 32 ½ years in Assessment and Appraisel experience. Mr. Kominoski stated that he has spoken to several Assessors from other towns and has deep concerns with the towns assessing not being professional. The Town of Charlton is currently worth on taxable property 439 million dollars in taxable value. The Assessors are the manor of the property. They have to distribute the tax levy’s for the school districts to the county throughout all the property of the town and must do it on a uniform basis. If under these circumstances if any one has that kind of wealth in real estate, they would you hire a professional to manage that property. Or would you hire someone in hopes in time they might be able to do the job. The current Assessor system requirements are to hold an oath of office and to be 18 years old. Mr. Kominoski stated that it isn’t fair to the residents of Charlton. Mr. Kominoski stated that he is hoping to have this open discussion meeting to talk about this.
Supervisor Grattidge stated that at the first informational meeting the town was at a crossroad with the resignation of the head Assessor. The meeting was held and then the following month a consensus of the Town Board was to stay with the three elected Assessors. Supervisor Grattidge stated that he hasn’t scheduled anything at this time. Grattidge stated that he believes it may be an issue going forward. Mr. Kominioskistated that do you think this is fair. The town had people from the county and states attend the initial meeting. Supervisor Grattidge stated that the Town Board chosen the path which they would like to go down now. Councilman Gardner stated that he started a lot of the dialog to get the message out to the people. The most of the people in town want to continue with the three elected Assessors. Councilman Gardner stated that it is a touchy subject. Councilman Gardner gave his opinion. The NYS Senate is looking at changing the entire real property system. Mr. Kominoski stated that he doesn’t see that the system is going to change.
Supervisor Grattidge stated that the head of the Assessment Board of Review thinks that the town should look at a Sole Assessor and look into a revalue. Supervisor Grattidge stated that for now the discussion was made to stay with the current system. It doesn’t mean that we wouldn’t bring it back again. Marv Schorr stated that there was a vote on the issue and the residents voted to continue with the current system. Councilman Verola stated that the public vote was taken two times and it was voted down. Mr. Schorr stated that he doesn’t see the public changing in the immediate future.
Everyone was given a chance to speak who wished.
A motion was made by Councilman Verola seconded by Councilman Lippiello to enter into an executive session to discuss potential litigation of contractual issues with the New Town Hall Project.
Roll call vote: Councilman Gardner: Aye, Councilman Lippiello; Aye, Councilman Salisbury: Aye, Councilman Verola: Aye, Supervisor Grattidge: Aye Approved
The Town Board reconvened from Executive Session at 9:45 p.m. A discussion occurred regarding the new Town Hall Architect’s recommendation that testing be completed as soon as possible with respect to the presence of mold within the structure as it exists in order to determine whether or not any treatment needs to be applied in order to address this issue.
Upon motion of Councilwoman Verola, seconded by Councilman Lippiello, the Board authorized the Supervisor to contact Architect Vosburgh for purposes of authorizing the recommended testing at a cost not to exceed $3,500.00, with the further condition that the Architect confirm that this testing is for both inside and outside of the existing structure.
