Mr. Zeserson called the meeting to order at 6 : 30 pm. He stated they had a subdivision to

Ms . Kiley stated they have a SEQR and subdivision review to do on the Kwiatkowski
property, it is a boundary change as well . She noted the applicants are present to detail
the purpose of the subdivision.
Ms. Paskin-Flevlage introduced herself and stated she and her partner are interested in
sheep farming. The lot is more than what they need but have a friend who is interested in
growing grains, another acquaintance is interested in the forested area of this property.
They reviewed the lot and determined the lot lines for road access, where the current
buildings are for each agri-business and the best areas for each purpose . This is the final
map presented this evening. It was noted two of the owners already have established
residences and have no interest in building homes on their lots . There may be a chance
that the son of one owner may build on site but not in the plans currently.
