Sec . Roger Gleason *6ecil Twigg Monica Carey *Verl Rankin George Totman opened the meeting at 815 p . m . Minutes of the December , 1985? A,; meeting were approved as presented . RO,a:ER GLEASON presented the Board with some questions concerning . his property on Old , Stage Rd . ( running southwest of Old Stage Rd . and west- of Clark St . Ext . ) GLEASON : I ' ve approached you about this property before . At the time it was decided that because the farm was intersected by roads , each section divided by a road were separate . That each section can be considered separately and not as a whole . Correct ? TOTTr1AN : That is what we agreed on . GLEASON : Lot on the corner was sold to Burdick with a sub - division approval . The lot sold to Dunne was originally my parents , sold originally in 1955 and sold to Dunne around 1972 . The scond question is dealing with how do we count this ? If we sold one , could we sell three more ; if we sold two , could we sell two more ? If I sell one lot more , Burdick being one , whatever I sell is two , is . there one remaini-A TOTTv1AN : If you sold one lot , it made two lots out of one . The Ordinance was chaged to read ' 3 ' . If you sell two , with one remaining , that makes three . gLEASON : When does this become a major subdivision `: Can I sell four with one left ' If I go with a major subdivision is it possible to cut through the red tape of roads , sewers , etc . ? I could do this several ways . I could apply for a Minor Subdivision or a Rural Subdivision , depending on the size of the lots . Since I had a Major Subdivision before , for the Burdick Lot , do we start from scratch now ? Can we make a subdivision out of the rest of it ? I have two different maps here . One showing a Minor Subdivision and one showing a Rural Subdivision , TOTMAN : Which one are you going for ? 1 r PLANNING BOARD - 2 - January 21 , 1986 GLEASON : I have a buyer for the lot west of Burdicke' s . He does not really want five acres . The question is how to go about dividing up the area . TOTMAN : What you have to do now is make a formal proposal and get it in ten days before the next meeting . GLEASON # Can I sell One lot without subdividing and then come back when I want to sell more ? TOTMAN : The problem that is facing us now with the diagram showing three large parcels , one parcel of five acres with 400 frontage the other has 600 foot . You might sell one five acre with this offer and then this summer want to split the lots up next to it . Then it would be a Major Subdivision . To protect yourself , you might better ask for a Major subdivision . GLEASON : That 600 foot westside , unless somebody wants to fill it in , is not more than one lot . WOOD : Are there any natural boundaries ? GLEASON : There is a swamp in the southwest corner , an open ditch . We tried to tile drain it 20 years ago . It could not be done . The question , what about a Major Subdivision , if I go with that can I waive the requirements of roads , etc . ? WOOD : I think you should get a tax map with a larger scale to see what makes sense in the area for lots . Make a set plan and come in once and for all . TOTMAN : If proper paperwork received , we ' ll call a meeting . After reviewing Burdick Subdivision and the Ordinance Roger was told the Burdick and Dunne property are considered part of the original parcel . He can ' t sell more than three more pieces without going to a Major Subdivision , George Totman will appoint a committee to review the Zoning Ordinance for inconsistencies and report back to the Board at the March meeting . After review by the Planning Board a proposal for changes to the Ordinance will be made to the Town Board . GARY WOOD brought up the question of Sherry W Brien . The letter of May 24 , 1985 , approving O ' Brien ' s Special Permit , was reviewed . He is in violation of the stipulation to maintain cars in an orderly fashion . Gary was instructed by the Board to send rim a letter to that fact . Meeting was adjourned . The next regular meeting of the Planning Board will be March 18 1986 at 8 : 00 p . m .
