Larry Sharpsteen stated a letter was sent to George Totman from Donald and Emma Harner who reside at 105 Auburn Road. The Harner's believe their property should be classified as BI not RI as shown on the proposed Zoning District Map. Larry felt the Planning Board should wait until the Town Board does or does not approve of the Zoning Plan, then have the Harner' s petition the Town Board for a change in the zone. Cheryl Nickel and Viola Miller pointed out that this parcel was grand fathered . Larry stated the only problem he had with the letter from the Harner' s is that he felt the property should be made B2 not B1 as requested because it is contiguous with B2 more than B 1 .
