Chairman , Al White called the meeting to order at 7 : 45P . M . Larry Tvaroha ,
• Town Councilman , reported that more than likely the Town Board would be
appointing a replacement for the position of Justice left vacant due to the
death of Fred Spry . The Town Board has looked at several options . He also
discussed Milliken Stations latest proposal which is up to $ 159 million dollars .
There are presently 32 applications for Federal Funding . Originally the Federal
Government was going to fund 2 or 3 projects , however they are now lookin at
funding 15 projects . The situation looks like a fifty- fifty chance . The decision
whould be made by September . Regardless of the outcome , it looks as though
something will happen at the Milliken Plant .
Councilman Tvaroha added that a couple of meeting ago the Planning Board
discussed open burning , and he followed up with the Health Department , and has
copies obtained from them which indicate what can and con not be burned . These
copies were distributed to the board .
Councilman Tvaroha noted that we had been approached by N . Y . S . Division for
Youth regarding the expansion of the Girl ' s School - approximately 22 - 24
million dollars . They are looking to update the water supply , and possibly
the Sewage system . ( There would be approximately 55 , 000 gallons of septic
waste per day ) . The State is in contact with the Town on these issues .
The Town is also looking at the land across the road from the Town Hall
which is owned by the State of New York . There are no difinite plans in
place for this land at this time , but with thoughts of a comprehensive
plan , and the creation of a Town Center , it is felt that it would be wise
to secure that land for the future , if it economically feasible . We do hot
have at this time an up - to- date Master Plan .
411had
Miller Mullane asked if the implication was that the Planning Board
had been remiss in not working on this ?
Larry Tvaroha asked when the last Master Plan or 10 year plan had been prepared ?
Viola Miller Mullane replied that it was 1971 . She also stated that it is one
of her main concerns . Nothing is being done to plan for the future .
• Larry Tvaroha state that we need to find time to do some planning for the
future . Perhaps we should consider funding in the next budget for some
professional help . It is very difficult for this board to meet once or
twice each month and take care of everything that comes up regarding
the Planning Board , and also have time to address these issues of planning
for the future . Professionals can spend 8 hours each day and still have
a hard time making any kind of headway on these issues . This should be
something that we look at when we put the Budget together for 1992 . If
we were to have this kind of program in place , the Planner could spend time
working with the ideas and thoughts of the various boards , and then come to the
P lanning Board for some final decisions . Good discussion followed .
L arry Tvaroha also reported on some of the other work being done by the
Town Board . The Spec ' s for new roads are being worked on to better identify
what is expected from the developer , so he knows up front what will be
required .
L inda Hirvonen expressed her concerns about the Town requiring the new roads
to be completed before permits can be issued . Construction traffic for
building can be detrimental to the newly finished roads .
Larry Tvaroha stated that the Town is looking into this .
L inda Hirvonen remarked that other communities hold the developer
responsible , but that they allow building to commence first . She ' s not
sure how , but in the end the developer is still responsible .
A good general discussion followed .
• Al White asked for approval of the June 10 , 1991 minutes . Roger Hagin
moved to accept the June 10 , 1991 minutes , Seconded by Robert Todd . Carried

42 . 1 - 2 . 6 . The Dyckman ' s would like to purchase 150foot adjacent to their
property as a property boundary change . The two pieces would then become one
consolidated tax parcel number . After a brief discussion , Linda Hirvonen
moved that the Dyckman boundary change be approved , and the end product be
one parcel in one deed . It was seconded by Viola Miller Mullane . Carried
LARSON SUBDIVISION , Tax Map # 44 - 1 - 33 . 1 located on Cherry Road . This Minor
2 Lot Subdivision was presented by George Larson . The drainage is good , and
there is no sign of standing water . General discussion as to the size of the
lots and drainage follwed . Linda Hirvonen stated that this is not really what
the Planning Board likes to see , however it looks like the best possible use
for this particular piece of land . A Short SEQR was performed , and it was
declared a Negative Impact . Linda Hirvonen moved to accept this as presented ,
no new roads or utilities etc . She also stated that it be noted that this is
within the Airport Hazard Zone . She further moved that we forego a Public
Hearing . It was seconded by Viola Miller Mullane .

L inda Hirvonen questions the curb cuts on Bush Lane , and everyone agreed
t o have only one cut on Bush Lane . Mr . Ellis said he could live with this
• request . Robert Todd asked why the concern over larger lots . Viola Miller
Mullane explained since water is available it would be a waste of land , and
furthermore that roads would bring all traffic out on one cut . Viola stated
that for the record she is still not in favor of Two Acre Lots .
Al White asked if another Public Hearing is needed . Wiola Miller Mullane felt
that we should hold another Public Hearing due to the time lapse involved , and
the size of the it .
D on Ellis stated that he would have all names and addresses of adjacent lot
owners available to George Totman by July 10 , 1991 . It was agreed to hold
another Public Hearing on July 22 , 1991 .
Al White asked if after this is approved , does Cornerstone have any plans to
design and build homes there ? Mr . Ellis stated that this is still in the
planning stages . Al White would like the minutes to show that this is
within the Airport Hazard Zone .

at 20 Belvedere Drive . Sandy Hagin explained to the Board that she and
her husband would like to buy a 150 foot X 328 foot lot from her parents ,
Al & Betty Grant . Al White went through the steps of the SEQR and at the
culmination it was declared a Negative Declaration . Linda Hirvonen moved
