Public Comments/Concerns
Joel Brock presented the following concerns/requests;
APPROVED

APPROVED

Larry Sharpsteen had great concerns and questioned if the Board thinks it’s appropriate
to open up all the drainage ways for trails. Many of these drainage ways are in people’s
back yards. The ones along the road would be appropriate.
Tim Buhl, P.E. has not meet with the Trail people as of yet. He would be glad to meet
with them in the near future.
Maureen Cowan, Chairperson for the Trails Committee states she believes it is worth
wild to meet and discuss ideas with the Developer. Their Committee’s planning is
futuristic.
Larry Sharpsteen also states the drainage ways are designed specifically to handle run
off and not foot traffic. If they are doing their job, they will be mucky and not the best
place to take a stroll.
Marsha Parks: Ms. Parks urged the Planning Board/Town Board to have Signage
erected near the Stormwater Pond to keep trespassers away. Suggested verbiage for the
Sign(s) was; No Trespassing or No Gathering, No Dumping, No Access.
Planning Board Members felt that would be a good idea. Charlie Purcell, Deputy
Highway Superintendent stated they have not had any other issues with other
Stormwater Ponds owned by the Town. Mr. Purcell indicated this was not an
unreasonable request and the Highway Department would not have a problem erecting
a Sign.
Richard Prybyl inquired if the State had published guidelines for Stormwater Ponds as
far as safety precautions. Charlie Purcell states no. Mr. Purcell further stated these
types of Ponds are not your typical” backyard pond”, 90% of the time they have no
water.
Gerald Caward made a motion to close the Public Hearing on the Application at 7:01

Estimate for Traffic Study
A brief discussion occurred with respect to moving forward with the Traffic Study
proposal. Lynn Day, Zoning Officer stated in his opinion that the Novalane property is
only proposing 7 new homes which he does not feel would require a Traffic Study at
Mr. Young’s expense. Mr. Day further stated if the Town is requesting a study it should
include other proposed Subdivision for an overall Study of the Waterwagon-Rte 34
area.
Mr. Ellis wants the Town Board to realize the Planning Board is getting flak from the
Public and what do they intend to do.
Mr. Prybyl feels the Town should be more explicit, specifically what the Town wants in
their Blueprint to turn over to the State.
Larry Sharpsteen feels the Developers should be responsible for their share of the cost
to the Town.
Richard Prybyl requested that the Town Board include the Planning Board in any of
their Planning of this Traffic Study.
Ruth Hopkins, Town Board Members mentioned there are Grants available for street
Planning of this nature.
The Planning Board is requesting feedback from the Town Board prior to the next
