Mike Shafer, Attorney for ReRob, LLC explained on behalf of the applicant the
zone change is in conjunction with a Conditional and Aquifer Protection Permit
applications. He stated the applicant would proceed with the zone change request
regardless of the outcome of the other permit applications.
Mr. Shafer also stated this zone change request is not spot zoning as it abuts
properties already zoned commercial. This zone change would be a reduction in zoning
from industrial to business.
Mr. Shafer commented he is available to answer any questions.
Code Enforcement Officer, Bruce Weber, explained the Town Planning Board has
not made a decision on ReRob's other permit applications but has recommended approval
of the zone change request.
Supervisor Thorpe stated there is a concern with this Board in regards to the
Aquifer.
Attorney Folmer explained the rezone request is a separate issue from the
Conditional and Aquifer Protection Permit applications. The determination of these
applications are contingent on the Board's decision concerning the rezone request. The
only consideration tonight should be the issue of the rezone request.
Mr. Shafer stated they would not continue to the Aquifer request if the zone change
were not approved. If the zone change is approved the Town Board will need to hear the
entire plan concerning the Aquifer Protection Permit.
The Board expressed no opposition to the zone change.
Thomas Gallagher, Executive Director of Cortland County Chamber- of Commerce,
commented the Chamber of Commerce is interested in growth and change in the area but is
also sensitive to the Aquifer issue. The chamber has received several communications from
companies interested in doing business in our area.
