April 15th Town Board Meeting

The public portion of the meeting lasted just nine minutes. Along with some routine motions, the Board approved the "Findings of Fact" on the final generic environmental impact statement of the Northeast Industrial Park. The Board went into executive session to discuss negotiations involving two union contracts and also a personnel matter.

April 1st Town Board Meeting

Three key items:

1 - The Board took about two hours to review the Findings of Fact statement presented by developers of the Glass Works Village project. A so-called "urbanist village" development on a 57-acre parcel behind the Town library is proposed. The most significant discussion concerned the traffic impact on Route 20. The Board eventually approved an amended version of the findings.

2 - A public hearing on a request to rezone the Stutz property on West Old State Road resulted in strong resistance from neighbors complaining about the flooding problems already associated with the property. The developer, Amedore Homes, was asked to return to the Board at a later date with plans to mitigate the problem. No vote was taken on the rezoning.

3 - A Northeastern Industrial Park representative presented their Findings of Fact statement regarding its request for zoning changes at NEIP. Since additional memos regarding the findings were not incorporated into the findings statement itself, the representative was asked to return on the April 15th Board meeting with comments incorporated into the document.
