Supervisor Thorpe commented on the several activity reports received from the Cortland County Coordinated Review Committee of their meeting on October 5, 1998. This is the first time we have received these. This committee consists of a representative of several County Departments, who also review these zoning requests. They send their recommendations to the County Planing Dept., to assist them in their decision. A discussion was held concerning their report relating to the Zone Change request from Cortland Diagnostic Imaging Assoc. Attorney Fo_1_mer explained that the Town Planning Board will receive the recommendation from. the County Planning Board. They, and this Board, have received a copy of the recor endations of the County Planning Dept. Because of this, the Town Planning Bd. has scheduled a Public nearing for October 26, 1998 concerning this. Then, they will provide their recommendations to us. If this Town Board chooses to adopt this, contrary to the recommendations of the County Planning Board, it must be adopted by the majority of this Board, plus one. No date has been set for a Public hearing by this Board. Councilman OfDonnell asked about the committee formed to look at other areas within the Town that might be more suitable for a High Tech Park.
