Recommendations can be created as well for any comments that warrant action by the Planning Board, Next Steps for Zoning Ordinance Work Is there need 1-or more public input sessions before we proceed? Until the draft is updated, there doesn't seem to be. There has been a lot of feedback received. U Kwasnowski has started going through the comments and grouping them. The Planning Board asks that the Task Force work with U Kwasnowski and Behan to work on the public feedback responses. They have been asked to use the feedback to make a red -line copy of the drab with changes and that document will be brought back to the Planning Board. After the comments have been compiled and responded to, at least one more public input session should be held to review the comments received and what changes were or were not made in response to those comments. This would be a final step prior to giving the final draft of the proposed local law to the `I'ov%ii Board. The public can be made aware of what changes were made in response to the feedback they gave at the public meetings. This meeting could be held in June or July with a final draft recommendation going to the "[ uwn Eioard in August. Varna Hamlet There is interest on the part of Cornell, Lucente, Varna residents and the IIosvvil, to sit down and have a conversation about what can be done to help Varna. "I`here is a Varna Community and Commercial Revitalization Plan. Jim Skaley prepared this document and it was passed by The Varna Community ,Association. It became part of a proposal that was sent in for a Revitalization Grant for the Varna I-lamlet area. The document was available to Planning Board members who wished it in hard copy along with a memo summarizing, a meeting D Weinstein had with Varna community members today. He will forward the documents electronically to all members. A Hamlet master plan has been suggested as a possible avenue. There may be enough interested parties to and this work which is estimated to cost $50,000. J L.alley will work on pulling together a meeting within the next 3-4 weeks.
