Planning Board Meeting Minutes Page 2 of 3 July 16, 2024 Vote:Gragg, aye; Liddle, aye; Klein, aye; Chair Klankowski, aye. Motion Carried. Liddle stated that the intent of Development Districts should be explored more. Board Member Training Liddle shared that she would be attending a session on agricultural easements and would share the information with fellow Board members. Potential Zoning Code Amendments Boggs noted he had shared some items to review at the previous meeting on July 2. Chair Klankowski spoke about the recent changes to wetland protections that have been introduced by New York State and suggested aligning the Ulysses Zoning code with these changes. Chair Klankowksi spoke about the local wetland data, and clarifying how protected streams and wetlands have been defined when they have not been identified by USGS or New York State. Chair Klankowski asked Tygesen to consider particularly troublesome sections of the zoning code to add to the list of items to work on. Klein suggested looking at other Town's zoning ordinances to start getting some ideas. Chair Klankowski noted that the Town Board must approve all code changes, but the Planning Board agreed they could help with the prep work. Discussion ensued over which items should be prioritized. Tygesen spoke about sign regulations and limitations of what can be regulated by the Town. Chair Klankowski spoke about the way that development districts have progressed over the past decades. Tygesen noted that there is a distinction between non-conforming uses and development districts. Expanding a non-conforming use would require approval from the BZA. It is not against Town or State law to expand a development district. Klein noted that multiple development districts are inactive. Tygesen suggested bringing discussions about development districts to the Comp Plan meetings. Board members did not come to an agreement and tabled the discussion for the future. Liddle spoke about water sampling test results. Many samples from wells showed that E.coli and Chloroform levels were about 25% higher than they should be. Klein stated that he could tell the water table is starting to drop since he is noticing more iron.This is the time of year to start conserving water as much as possible. Motion: Klein motioned to adjourn; Gragg seconded. Vote: Liddle, aye; Gragg, aye; Klein, aye; Chair Klankowski, aye. Motion Carried.
