December 1, 1992
PRESENT: Bill Crowther (Chair), Wendy Olson, Louise Evans, Margaret Moore, Kendall Abernathy, Pat

PUBLIC: Charles Burger, Margaret Hauth
Crowther called the meeting to order at 6:32 PM.
ITEM #3: Cole moved to approve the September minutes. Murphy seconded.
VOTE: Unanimous.
ITEM #4: Hauth presented the Town Board actions on the items heard at public hearing.
ITEM #5: Hauth introduced Burger, chair of the Parks and Recreation Task Force. Burger discussed the
planning process currently underway. He noted that the plan has 2 focuses; one on physical
recommendations (build more parks) and one on policies. He said the plan is looking at
increasing everyone's access to recreation by encouraging neighborhood parks. He said they are
working with Orange County to not duplicate efforts and to find opportunities to cooperate.
Crowther said they are also looking for conflicts between land uses and open spaces. Jones asked
whether funding is being addressed. Burger said that having the plan makes the town more
eligible for grants and encourages public support for funding. Shannon said another point of
discussion is not only access to parks, but travel between them. Crowther said that the River
Park plan for behind the courthouse is a central feature of the plan. Evans asked that the
committee actively seek participation from the Fairview community. Burger thanked the
members for their comments.
ITEM #6: Hauth asked the members for comments, questions and concerns on five potential text
amendment proposals for January. Crowther asked what action was needed on these items and
Hauth said, at the point the language is ready to proceed, the members need to vote to send the
item to hearing. The members agreed to delay any vote until January. The members did discuss
the storing of vehicles on private property in length. They agreed that one vehicle that was
covered or enclosed should be adequate.
ITEM #7: The members agreed to table this discussion to a future meeting.
Crowther adjourned the meeting at 8:20 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
Margaret A. Hauth, Secretary
