HomeMy WebLinkAbout1984-01-25MINUTES INFORMAL MEETING PLANNING BOARD AND TOWN BOARD JAN. 25, 1984 A deadline of 8:45p.m. was set for closing our meeting. Members Present: Donald Graham, Walt Sczepanski, Jim Hovanec, Joel Gagnon, Carol Benjamin. T.B. Members Present: Mildred Miller, Dorothy Roberts, Mary Oltz, Ric Dietrich, Ed Shay. Donald opened the discussion with the issue of zoning enforcement. Ric: Do we have zoning in Danby? Joel: Can you - .enforce zoning? Do you want to ? All parts of zoning may not be to everyones likes. If this is the case, lets have an ordinance we can live with and enforce it. Donald answered Ric, yes we have zoning, it is not enforced. Do people notice? Dorothy.said apparently realtors notice, because they don-'t seem to bring too many people to Danby. Mary said she doesn't feel that the Town Board doesn't want to enforce zoning, but unless they have a problem brought to them, they can't act. she feels the main weakness in our zoning is that the zoning officer needs help in under- standing his position. Jim suggested that the Town Supervisor should help in the issuance of permits. Joel wouldn't like to see the present ordinance enforced. Many homes and prop. erties in Danby do not at this time comply with the ordinance. When anything needs to be done a variance needs to be obtained. Parts of the ordinance should be re— written. Do we want to enforce our present ordinance or revise it to make it workable? Do we want zoning in Danby or do we want to rescind it? Mildred feels we should keep zoning, people seem to want it. Mary feels we should enforce zoning. We must have all revisions on zoning & administration at one time. Revisions are very expensive & should be completed in one unit. Walt would like a revision on fee schedulet& P.U.D. He feels we should work on these,turn them over to the T.B., have a public hearing, and make the ammendments to our ordinance. The general feeling is to enforce what we can in the present ordinance. Summary: Yes zoning. Yes enforcement. Yes revise present ordinance. P.B..requests the T.B. to tell us to revise-.piece meal or in one fell swoop. T.B. will give us an answer at their February T.B. meeting. T.B. will attend our P.B. meeting on 2/15/84. We will start at 7 :30 p.m.
