He further stated that he was concerned with traffic . problems also and that cars would be using Pine Tree Road and the other already heavily used roads . Mr . Ludington also stated that he felt the development being run by an association was a major concern . Supervisor Desch noted that Eastwood Commons - was run by ark association and their association was working, well . However , he noted this was no guarantee that the idea would work well other places . The Home Owners Association proposal is subject to Town Board review and approval . . John Pierce , 104 Harvard Place stated that his attitude , concerning the project , was in the middle as he did - not - like to see open places like. this one upset , yet he new that there was a need for houses . Mt . Pierce asked where he could .voice his opinion ? Supervisor Desch answered , you should voice your opinion at the Planning Board . - Mr . Pierce then -asked , what if the Planning Board . does nothing , . then what ?

Councilwoman Kiefer asked if it was standard procedure for someone _ �-- , on the staff to contact effected adjacent municipalities ? She went on to question the early version being termed as an unlisted action .

In years past, the Planning Board recommended action and the Town Board made the final decisions . Because of time , the Town Board delegated powers to the Planning Board . He went on to say , that in regard to conditions being put on the renters , there are certain things that can ' t be denied , because of owners rights . Peter Lovi noted that the Planning Board did not propose the Home Owners Agreement , the developer suggested it . Mr .

A project may be given preliminary approval on the basis of preliminary plans , then developer brings in more information before final approval is given .
