May 21, 1987 G. Rotunda DRAFT Page, R. Lampila, M /M. S. Landau 1. Cuyler Page of Ellis Hollow Rd. introduced a letter requesting that multifamily dwellings not be permitted in RB areas or at least not in all RB areas, suggesting a more restrictive list of allowed uses including possible elimination of duplexes or requiring owner occupancy. He was asked how many people had had input for this specific request. He based it on a meeting which the Planning Board had in Ellis Hollow about two years ago when we were seeking community input. There were about 40 people present at that meeting. He was asked about minimum lot size and said "no one seems to have a quarrel with the 1.5acre lots of Buzz Dolph ". It was suggested that a more intensive survey, such as done by the K.Brown /M. Creasey teams in their request for expansion of R -B -1, would be helpful to the Planning Board in this case. 2. Clint Cotterill, as an individual, appeared to request an expansion of R -B at the eastern side of the town, approximately as follows: beginning at the curren RB at the southeast corner, extend east to the town line, go north to Old Dryden Rd, go West across Malloryville Rd, back to west edge of North Rd. to village, excluding the village, CB and MA. 3. There was a discussion of the best way to handle the remapping requested by the Town Board. While overlays are one technique, they are normally used only for natural features such as wetlands, flood zones, etc. It might be more practical both in process and user interpretation if the remapping were done by expansion of existing zones. Members were asked to tour various parts of the Town, specifically at the edges of the current R -B and R -B -1 areas, and come to a working session on 6/4 with remapping suggestions. 4. Steve Landau of Hunt Hill stated some of the problems in their area which seem related to increasing.density's impact on the environment. The Planning Board seemed interested in exploring it further including his request for larger lot sizes. The Planning Board mentioned to him that the original zoning proposal had an R -A zone which was limited to farming, recreation and seasonal housing. He will explore some of these options and come to our next meeting. 5. Gene Rotunda has a problem with one lot line in Chelsey Circle. The line between 1 -3 and 1 -4 has to be adjusted. Since this is a proposed modification of an approved subdivision and will make one lot slightly less than the required size, we will hold a public hearing on 6/4 at 8:00 on the matter. Meeting adjourned. Barbara Caldwell Secretary pro tem
