Tom McCarthy presented his request for a zoning determination regarding the buildable status of his lot on Remington Road - lot size: 150' width, 116.8' depth, 47,850 sq.ft. Because of the unusual circumstances under which Mr. McCarthy brought his request to the Board of Trustees (Zoning Officer Rogers had been directed to refrain from decision making in connection with the Remington Road issue), and because of the questionable authority of the Board to act as "Zoning Officer," action was taken as follows: Motion by Trustee Searle, seconded by Trustee Pimentel: RESOLUTION 4226 - APPOINT FLEMING TEMPORARY ZONING OFFICER VOTED to appoint Trustee Fleming to act as temporary zoning officer for the purpose of making a determination on Mr. McCarthy's request for variance to Section 7 of the Zoning Ordinance - Size of Lots. Trustees Camp, Fleming, Pimentel, Searle, Weiss, Wheeler voted YES. ** Trustee Fleming, acting as temporary zoning officer, denied Mr. McCarthy's request on the basis that the lot size does not comply with the Zoning Ordinance. The Clerk was instructed to relate this decision in writing, under Trustee Fleming's signature, to Mr. McCarthy - who then withdrew from the meeting. Motion by Trustee Wheeler, seconded by Trustee Pimentel: VOTED to approve minutes of a special meeting held January 9, public hearing and regular meeting held January 21, 1991 as previously furnished Trustees in copy form.

Supt. of Public Works gave an oral monthly report as follows: - January flow at WWTP was recorded at 1.8 MGD. On January 1, the new effluent meter was put into effect. If this new method had been applied to the flow for the month of 8 Minutes of regular meeting - 2/18/91 December, the flow would have been (and probably was) closer to 2.4 MGD. There is still a problem of flow at the plant, however. Trustee Camp asked the Attorney if the DEC could impose fines for exceeding the permit and she responded that their procedure is first to issue a warning and they have not done so. To the question of personal liability, she replied there is none. Engineer Rogers stated that the DEC would be more concerned if the Village exceeded the BOD permit levels. Attorney Oesterle said that she can show that the Village has been actively trying to keep the problem at a minimum. -S &W is working for the County in setting up a compost area at the landfill and asked to use data on the Village's sludge. The sludge has passed the tests required before it can be used for land application. It is anticipated that the County will require Village sludge be used in their compost area and at that time the Village should press for a relief from the tipping charge of $62 /ton. - Zoning Officer Report - 1 Zoning Permit for alterations - $4,000; 2 Building Permits for additions - $74,000; 1 street openign permit.

Trustee Wheeler suggested he contact Marc Cramer for his input. March 4 - 7:00 p.m. meeting set to work on the 1991 -92 budget. Attorney Oesterle reviewed her memo to Board of Trustees re financial disclosure forms. It was Board consensus to accept the Attorney's recommendation not to have annual mandatory disclosure (to do so would entail having to meet certain state requirements as to what should be in these forms and the filing of material with the State Commission on Local Government Ethics) but instead, to use the form which was devised at the time the Savage Farm issue was before the Board. r E Mintues of Regular Meeting - 2/18/91 The Attorney reported that she has researched the issue of acquiring the Town of Ithaca's portion of Remington Road and found that it cannot be annexed unless it is owned by the Village. She stated that it is the Town's opinion that they have to abandon it in order to deed it. The annexation of land adjacent to the sewer plant is no problem since it is already owned by the Village. It was suggested that she contact NYCOM or the Office of State Comptroller for an opinion, which she said she will do. She reported that Mr. Homa has paid his bill. Police Chief Wall submitted his written report which is on file in the Village Office.
