E. Carpenter, K. Marquis.
Public,Hearing - 7:30 p.m.
Appeal made by the Village of Dryden on a proposed location
of a "Welcome to Dryden" sign.. Mr. R. Watros and Mr. G.
German explained the proposed sign location along Rt. 13
outside the West Village limits. Trees, the slope of the
land and existing signs necessitate location about 200 feet
outside the Village limits for required visibility of the
sign. It must be close to the highway right-of-way for the
same reason. Sketch and photos were submitted. Mr. German
stated that he had checked the matter with the State Highway
Department and that it had no objection.
Decision: Granted; 5-0.
Public Hearing - 7:50 p.m.
Appeal made by Mr. Paul Whitted for a Building Permit to
build a house on a lot along the south end of the former
Whitted Road. Chairman Levatich made an opening statement
announcing that the Town Board had, on 2/18/64 Town Board
Meeting, accepted and adopted the N.Y.State Highway Department
Inventory of Highways with the specific purpose of fixing
the matter of the existent or non-existent(abandoned)
Town highways. The lower end of Whitted Road is not,shown
in that inventory and is therefore not a Town Road. Mr.
Whitted requested that the following be inserted into the
minutes: "My application for variance should not in any
way be construed as agreement, tacit or otherwise, with
Town Zoning Offices statements as to status of the road -
Whitted Road." Mr. Whitted redrew his previously submitted
sketch which had shown the proposed house located on top of
the mobil home. Chairman Levatich stated repeatedly that the
variance under consideration is for the specific purpose of
building a house and it is an entirely separate matter from
the illegal location of a mobil home, a matter now before
the courts. Mr. Far-rol spoke for granting the variance and
was concerned about Whitted Road not being a Town Road.
Messrs. Paul Garcia and L. Garcia spoke against granting
on the basis that Whitted Road was not a Town Raod. Messrs.
Keech and Rose requested Mr. Whitted to restrain his language
and use socially acceptable words during the Hearing.
Decision: 3-2 in favor of Granting.
