With a quorum of four, the Planning Board called the meeting to order at 7 :42 p.m. The first order of business was the discussion of the proposed Zoning Ordinance amendments as drawn up by Town Attorney Bruce Wilson. Supervisor Austic and Councilperson Carolyn Duddleston reported that a public hearing concerning the proposal was scheduled at the October 10th Town Board meeting for November 8th at 7 : 10 p.m. in the Town Hall. Planning Board Chairman George Kennedy opened the floor to discuss the most recent draft of the proposal. After briefly discussing the changes, Mrs. Hilbert moved, seconded by Mr. Tyler to endorse the most recent revision of the proposal. Mrs. Hilbert aye Ms. Horrigan aye Mr. Kennedy aye Mr. Tyler aye Adopted. Mrs. Hilbert brought up the subject of the media in connection to the proposed amendments. After some discussion, the Planning Board decided it would be best to simply tell any seeking information to read a copy of the proposal at the Town Clerk' s Office and to attend the public hearing on November 8th. Mr. Tyler asked what will happen to currently unimproved lots that will be made non- conforming building lots if the proposed amendments are passed. Such lots would either be nonconforming, and would require a BZA granted variance to be built upon, or could be grandfathered in as excused, nonconforming building lots. The Board members' general consensus was that variances be required for construction on such lots. Chairman George Kennedy asked about progress in the Commercial Development Subcommittee. Mrs. Hilbert announced that the subcommittee had not yet met. After a brief discussion between subcommittee members, it was decided that they would meet during the week of October 15"'. After noting that several members of the two boards would be unable to attend a meeting on October 26th, this meeting was cancelled. The November 8th work session also was cancelled due to the fact that the public hearing for the proposed Zoning Ordinance amendments is scheduled to take during a portion of the time when the Planning Board and Town Board would normally meet. The next work session has yet to be scheduled. Code Enforcement Officer Alex Rachun brought a local Tower Ordinance of the Town of Danby to the attention of the board members. The Ordinance requires a company looking to build a tower make a minimum deposit of $7,500 to the Town in order to pay for some of the expenses associated with bringing such projects before the public.
