Mr. Zeserson stated the next item is to continue the review of Article III Zoning Law, as the last meeting they had decided to remain with the Site Plan Review process as it currently is . Ms . Kiley updated the draft for their final review tonight. Ms . Kiley stated she had prepared the draft with two options . Number 1 is the wording from the current zoning law. Number 2 has changes after she had a discussion with Dryden Planner, Dan Kwasnowski, she revised and wanted to discuss the reason for the changes . The Board held a lengthy discussion regarding the Lakeshore and Conservation Zone requiring Site Plan Review if the application comes in complete, they could waive the Public Hearing process . NYS Town Law does not require Site Plan review. Neighbor notices should be provided at some point in time . Discussion led to establish a procedure where neighbors would receive notice when projects come in. This would be done as an additional procedure . The second option offers flexibility in reviewing projects if there is little or no impact. If notices are issued and no comments, complaints or concerns are received, the PB could waive the Public Hearing . Posting signs on the site was proposed and agreed it would be a good idea to get onsite immediately. They could reference Zoning Office for questions . Enforcement was discussed, it was noted that there are enforcement procedures and penalties in the Zoning Law currently . The penalty could be fines, fees and/or jail time . Time references are in Option 1 but not Option 2 , Ms . Kiley stated she would review and add the time references to Option 2 .

Mr. Zeserson stated Ms . Kiley would rework the draft for presentation at the September 4th meeting . He stated the next order of business would be the flag lot definition . There was confusion by the Board members in that some believed Ms . Kiley would be preparing a draft for review. The members were supposed to review the other Town' s definition and bring what they thought would be good additions to our definition. The group decided they would review and prepare for the next meeting . They also would appreciate having Mr. Hawkes present as he had particular ideas as to what he would like to have considered. Mr. Wertis and Ms . Kiley will meet to review flag lot information from other towns and draft new language . She has concerns with wording as some of the available lots are on strange angles thus not perpendicular. Ms . Adams discussed the County Planning making recommendations for the Village and ultimately the Town. She has concerns as to why they would be making recommendations based on the Strategic Plan that has not been finalized . The discussion concluded that the County is within their right as they are basing recommendations on the Comprehensive Plan using the 2391 m n process . It does require a super majority of the Board to vote down any recommendations from the County. Ms . Kiley stated they have the Rice Road Subdivision coming soon . It would be Minor Subdivision due to previously divided lots . The meeting was adjourned at 8 : 15pm . Respectfully, submitted, Robin Carlisle Peck Zoning and Planning Administrative Assistant 2
