The motion passed and the draft plan would be recommended to the Town Board for
consideration . An individual representing the owner of Monroe Square asked to speak to the
Board. She expressed concern that the proposed land use map did not represent the totality of the
Monroe Square in the C3 zone . Board members pointed out that the proposed land use map for
the comprehensive plan should not be equated with a zoning map, which would show complete
tax parcels .
The Planning Board agreed on the next meeting for February 17, 1999 at 7 : 30 p . m . to
begin work on the zoning revision. The meeting adjourned at 9 : 30 p .m .
