Mr. Ellis said that he would like to see the finished map posted in several public places so that residents would have an opportunity too view the map . Having the map on display my help to increase public attendance for the hearing. The Board feels that it may be possible to get a good draft to the public by the 1st of April . Mr. Austic asked if the Board knew about the Judy Cone ' s computer business on Krums Corners . Ms . Cone does not live on the property and she did not have enough land to apply for a PDD . The business is in an old house and barn with a trailer next to it that business uses for testing. Ms . Cone is currently in the process of purchasing additional land . Mr. Ellis stated that he feels this business is not consistent with current zoning ordinance and that it should be relocated to an appropriate place . Mr. Austic said that Ms . Cone might come in to ask the Board for a reclassification or some other means of continuing the business in its present location. This business has been ignored for several years . Mr. Ellis stated that he is aware of Ms . { Cone ' s business and knows that the zoning inconsistency has been ignored for several years . Mr. Ellis said that he started a business in his home and than it got a little gray as to the appropriateiness of the location, then became a little grayer so he moved it. Mr. Ellis feels x j Special Town Board Meeting 3 03/03 /2005 that this was the correct, right thing to do . Ms . Cone ' s business is getting pretty gray and it is time to move . Mr. Ellis would like to find as acceptable method for the Town to support businesses that get in that spot. Mr. Ellis commented that he would like to think about this problem and try to find a solution. Mr. Ellis feels that the Town should invite Ms . Cone to a Town Board meeting to talk about her situation . Ms . Marino entered the following statement into the record : I disagree with the decision not to consider occasional rescheduling a regular monthly board meeting at the request of Town Board members who cannot be present when there is important or timely business to be done, on the basis that the meeting has always been at this time and a change might be missed by members of the public. I think the public would prefer participation of as many elected officials as willing and possible in the decision-making of the Town over an absolute adherence to a schedule. The citizens who elected us deserve the broadest possible participation from their elected officials, and we should try to achieve that as a priority. We can post meeting change as we have been for many meetings the Town Board has scheduled over the past few months. The policy represented by this decision is in stark contrast to the Village Board, which I am told often reschedules meetings to deal with travel schedules of members in order to promote full participation whenever possible. Hearing no further business Mr . Weatherby moved, seconded by Mr. Ellis to adjourn the meeting. Unanimously approved, meeting adjourned at 9 : 10 pm . Respectfully submitted, Marsha L.
