PB minutes 5/22/14

Meeting called to order at 7:30 with Tom sitting in as chairperson. Members present were Linda, Dave, Tom and Barry.

Minutes from April 24 were approved, motion made by Linda, seconded by Dave. It was noted that the March minutes were emailed to Todd and not yet approved.

We discussed a few areas of the revised proposal for depot zoning that was forwarded to some of the members from Barbara Johnston. We specified that Green Energy such as wind, solar, and biomass(?) was included in the WITE area of the depot. We agreed that these should be listed in the code and add necessary requirements for wind mills.

Tom read a section listing restrictions for special uses in the depot from the above revised proposal. We agreed that these seemed appropriate and well written.

 We also decided that we should the Conservation area to Conservation and Recreation. Tom will notify Barbara of these changes.

Dave asked what the procedure was for final approval of the depot zoning. It is believed that we need to forward the proposal to the county planning board. There are also SEQRA requirements. We decided to let Todd find out the next step in the procedure. We will also forward a copy to the TB for their perusal and information. There will need to be a public hearing and final approval by the TB to adopt the new code.

Meeting adjourned at 8:30, motion made by Dave and seconded by Linda.

Next meeting will be on June 26.

Respectfully submitted,

Barry Somerville,secretary
