He reported that the County Planning Board recommended denial, .chile the Town Planning Board recommended approval, of the permit. Supervisor Thorpe offered privilege of the floor to those in attendance. Councilman Rocco expressed displeasure with the action of the County Planning Board. After reading the article in the paper, he felt it very inappropriate to imply of helter-scelter building by a business that has provided many jobs to our area, and succeeded for many years. He also contacted a Supervisor at Gutchess Lumber to get answerers to his questions. He was pleased to find that they are expanding their business, and that they will be environmentally conscious. Councilman Rocco reported that Kathy Wickwire, chairman of the Cortlandville Planning Board, went to the site to review the operation, personally. He questioned if County Planning did the same. Supervisor Thorpe expressed concern that County Planning felt obliged to request a Master Plan of their operation, at this time. It has been our policy to consider each item on its own merit. Mr. Gutchess is an industrialist, not a developer. No other comments were heard. Councilman O'Donnell made a motion, seconded by Councilman Testa, to adjourn the Public Hearing.
