CITIZEN PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR Mr Tim Baldwin from Hunt Engineers was present and showed the board members the proposed layout for the Cortland Rd Sewer Dist . Dennis Portzline - wanted to give some input to the proposed district as to their situation with the trailer park . The figures that they came up with indicate to them that they will have to phase out their trailer park . They would be incurring an expense over a 10 year period of $ 350 , 000 . 00 to get the sewer installed . If it is phased out that will drop 60 units off the whole district . Supv Cotterill . - according to the Health Dept either you have to do something or we have to do something within the next 5 years . There was some discussion . Tim Baldwin - as far as their over all schedule instead of Feb 15th they plan to have the final plans completed by Jan 15th . Planning Board Barbara Caldwell - reported that she had sent the board members a copy of possible ways of handling co- ops and condominium approvals . . John Hunt . - had outline 4 alternatives for consideration regarding the condominiums or co- op housing developments . There was some discussion and Clm Evans suggested that the Planning Board draw up some regulations , the Town Board would then consider them for approval and make an amendment to the zoning ordinance . , Since the Town Board will have the authority to approve the proposal for the regulations it should then work like a sub-division . ATTORNEY Atty Perkins reported on Oriole Drive Sewer Dist . The board had contacted Mr Lucente ' s • engineers regarding the position that the Town Board was going to take with the Village of Cayuga Heights . The Town Board decided to have Atty Perkins contact the Village of Cayuga Heights to find out the possibilities of accepting the 7 lots for Rocco Lucente in the proposed sub- division . Atty Perkins also reported on the Cornelius topsoil operation . Mr Cornelius made an application for a variance regarding the storage outside for vehicles and equipment , which was granted . The ZBOA went on to address a question as to something they didn ' t have any jurisdiction over which had to do with the topsoil operation . This is a provision reserved exclusively to the Town Board under Section 806 of our zoning ordinance . This is not even an allowed use by special permit in this RB zone . Z . O . Stewart - that is why he went to the ZBOA . Atty Perkins - wanted to know what the original application to the Zboa was for . He thought it was for the storage of vehicles and equipment . Z . O . Stewart - also the sale of topsoil , Atty Perkins - ZBOA is willing to vary the strict application of our zoning ordinance as it pertains to Mr . Cornelius and his topsoil operation in the RB zone although it is not , permitted . The question is does the ZBOA have the authority to do that ? There is no question that the Town Board will still have to hold a public hearing and have him follow the provisions of Section 806 . Atty Perkins said that he: would . check further to see if the ZBOA has that kind of power which is reserved exclusively for the Town Board . Atty Perkins reported that there apparently are some electrical code violations which have been reported to exist on some property that Mr Bernard Cornelius owns that have not been corrected . The Town Board should authorize the Zoning Enforcement Officer to proceed to enforce the provisions of our electrical code against Mr Cornelius .
