Supervisor McCord reported that a number" of steps have been built into
this project which will insure that the public would have adequate notice
and opportunity to appear , be heard , etc . , by having a public hearing by
the planning board , then it will be recommended to the town board which
acts as a conduit to the county planning board . The county planning
board has to give written approval , disapproval or modification within
30 days to the Town Board . The Town Board can still over -rule the county
planning board provided the vote is a majority plus one vote .
Martha Ferger proposed that a second public hearing be held by the Town
Board . She did not think that present set - up adequate . The following
people agreed with Mrs . Ferger : Peter Levatich , Casey Parsons and a few
o ther unidentified people . Mr . Relyea said this would delay a project
even longer as it will probably be 18 months before the project has
✓ eceived all federal and state approvals . Mr . Relyea ( sec . 2201 ) was
n ot in favor of 100 acre specification , felte: a minimum of 50 acres would
be much more applicable . Mr . Relyea requested that Sec . 2203 , ( m ) be
✓ econsidered . This refers to mobile homes . Mrs . Everett was in favor of
this provision . Mr . Relyea commented re sec . 2205 places a burden on the
d eveloper . He felt this section was not clear . Clm Joubert replied that
the developer will not just build each stage one at a time ; but will do
so much of housing , so much of recreation and so much of commercial . Not
just one stage and Stop .
Many concerns were expressed by the public , such as , increased school
population , tax basis , water & sewer , . sidewalks , lighting , etc .
L engthly discussion was had re a public hearing by the Planning Board
