Crowther called the meeting to order at 6:37 pm. There were no additions to the agenda.
ITEM #2: Crowther asked members to be prepared to read minutes before next meeting.
ITEM #3: Hauth went through each public hearing item to describe the Town Board vote.
a) Unanimously denied;
b) Unanimously adopted;
c) Approved 4-1, with Smith voting against;
d) Approved 4-1, with Smith voting against;
e) Unanimously adopted.
Hauth added that the amendments were included in packets and any missing packets could
be picked up.
Crowther noted that no action had been taken to protect entranceways. He specifically
mentioned a Pantry Area plan done by Orange County. Hauth noted that the study was
superseded by the County's Land Use Plan. Crowther mentioned the possibility of
petitioning to down -zone some entranceways. Hauth asked to send the resolution again
because it may have been missed last month. The members were in consensus to try
again.
ITEM #4: Hauth reported that Town Board had tabled the amendments related to junked cars. She
said the options in the packet were based on her thoughts on the issue. Olson noted that
Jones was particularly concerned and he is not present. Crowther asked if there was
anything pending for July Public Hearing. Hauth said she knew of nothing concrete but
there are some possibilities.
The members briefly discussed their options and the text. They discussed possible
violations. Hauth noted that there is a possibility for an enforcement officer who would
deal with this section. The members were in consensus to table discussion until the
enforcement officer is hired, or for the October hearing, whichever comes first. Crowther
asked Hauth to contact local garages to solicit input and suggestions.
ITEM #5: Hauth briefly described the scenario involved. Members described the implications and
wording options for an amendment. Olson suggested a uniform sign design and Deetjen
concurred. Olson suggested simple guidelines for colors and lettering size to ease
reading: black on white with 2" letters. Deetjen asked if any group has begun work on
uniform signs and Hauth said she did not know of any. Hauth suggested using the
options presented by the Church.

Discussion of options continued with the following consensus guidelines: exempt from
Zoning Permit, non-commercial only, 3' X 2' (preferred horizontal), black on white
letters, 2" or larger letters, organization emblems could take up less than 25% of the total
area, the emblem could be in color, and can be in the right-of-way or on private property.
ITEM #6: Hauth briefly presented the ordinance standards for parking and driveways for public
parks for both the Town and County as well are the National Recreation and Park
Association guidelines. Olson discussed some of the difficulties with the Town's
ordinance and policies. Crowther noted that the parking section as a whole needs revision
and suggested a subcommittee.
ITEM #7: Hauth described the impetus behind updating the Town's Flood Damage Prevention
Ordinance and asked how much input the members wanted to have. She said she has
typed the model ordinance and has highlighted the changes. There was consensus to look
at the changes before adoption.
Crowther adjourned the meeting at 7:45 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Margaret A. Hauth, Secretary
