Excused : Rod Porter Mr. Zeserson called the meeting to order at 7 : 30 pm, he introduced himself and asked the members to do the same . Mr. Zeserson stated this project seemed straight forward, he asked Mr. Coogan for clarification of the project. Mr. Coogan stated it is one of the requirements in the zoning ordinance that if a subdivision is put on a State road (Halseyville, Perry City, DuBois) the Planning Board has to review it. There is not a discretionary action they do a recommendation by signing the plat then Mr. Rachun can allow the subdivision . Mr. Zeserson asked if the members had any concerns . Ms . Schneider indicated on the map the areas that were being sold and combined. Mr. Brown stated they were selling their home and combining it with the area to the back. They have 120 acres but would be retaining 75 acres . Mr. Wertis stated the reason they are looking at this is road cuts . The Town Board had put in the zoning this requirement so the planning board would be looking at road cuts being made on these roads . Mr. Coogan stated the Planning Board has nothing to do with road cuts, these are County roads . Mr. Wertis stated he understands this but it was his impression that the Town Board wanted the Planning Board to review so they can control the road cuts . The only reason he says this is because the Brown ' s stated they would be building another house on the property. He asked where the Brown' s would be putting their driveway. Mr. Brown indicated on the map where they anticipate putting their driveway in the future. He stated they are not allowed to use the development district driveway as access to their future building area. They would have to have a new driveway put further down the on their property. Ms . Schneider stated she wanted to make the new owner' s aware they have a creek that runs on this property. The Town does have a good ordinance restricting building on this property, they are required to maintain vegetation etc . If they want to build additional houses on the property the requirements are fairly extensive. Mr. Brown stated the new buyers essentially want to keep the property similar to what the Browns ' s have used it as . They simply want to own to the end of the lot for extended property. He would like to purchase all of the available land but cannot afford. They have expressed interest in ultimately purchasing the remainder of the land. The new owner is Paul Carpenter, Jr. Mr. Means clarified that they cannot build a driveway in the development district but they own property adjacent to it and would be building on that lot. He stated this would be a flag lot would there be enough area to allow the requirements for a driveway. Planning Board 2 1 / 15/08 Mr. Brown indicated they had allowed for this and they would have the necessary requirement under the zoning regulation which is 50 feet. He has not had it surveyed but once they know it will be allowed he will have it resurvey and have the pins set as is required by the zoning, Mr. Means stated he remembers the Flo-Tech project and there was a lot of concern regarding the driveway cuts near this intersection. Mr. Brown stated there was a lot of concern, which is why the came up with this plan to deter from the noise of the bridge. He nearly got killed pulling onto this road thus he has placed the driveway where it will work the best. Mr. Zeserson asked if the members had any other concerns or questions.
