ITEM #1: Hauth asked the members to add item 4a, a text amendment request from Quality Oil Company and they agreed. ITEM #2: Hauth reported that the Board of Adjustment approved a site plan for a concrete plant in Cornerstone Park and found, based on testimony, that a mobile home had been continually occupied and could therefore be replaced. She added that Pat Shannon has resigned after completing his first term. ITEM #3: Gill moved to approved the minutes of September 5 as written. Speed seconded. VOTE: Unanimous. ITEM #4: Hauth introduced John Hughes, potential new board member. She explained that the Town Board has adopted a new policy for appointing volunteers in which the board with the vacancy interviews candidates and recommends candidates to the Town Board. Taylor asked if Hughes has seen the Vision 2010. He said he has briefly reviewed it. Hughes added they have been in their house about a year, that he has been looking for opportunities to become involved in town, and that he sees no continuing problem with the meeting time. MOTION: Speed moved to recommend the appointment of Hughes to the Town Board. Quinn seconded. VOTE: Unanimous. ITEM #4a: Hauth introduced Rhymer and Slate from Quality Oil and briefly described the current Interstate Buffer requirements and their impact on the reconstruction plans for the Daniel Boone Shell station. She said they are seeking Planning Board sponsorship of the amendment, but are willing to self -sponsor if necessary. Rhymer passed around copies of a proposed site plan. He explained the need for modernization and the strong community support for keeping the Bailey family operating a service station on the site. He noted that the full buffer makes the update and service station impossible. Turner asked if other sites are also affected by the buffer. Hauth said that McDonalds, Hardees, a portion of the Daniel Boone Village, and the service station and motel at new 86 would all be similarly affected, if they were to start over. She added that the proposal is only for sites developed before the buffer was imposed and who are already in buffer. Members asked specific questions about the site plan for better understanding. Turner said she supports Planning Board sponsorship since more than just one business is affected. MOTION: Turner moved to sponsor the text amendment and for it to be heard in October. Tuell seconded. VOTE: Unanimous. ITEM #5: Hauth introduced the last changes to the auto oriented uses text amendments. She explained a few minor changes to definitions and went over proposed application requirements and PB 10/3/95 page 2 criteria for the conditional use permits. She said the text has been sent to the attorney for his review and any changes should be received before the public hearing. Taylor asked if changes could be made after the public hearing and Hauth said the Town Board could make changes. MOTION: Speed moved to send the text amendments to public hearing. Quinn seconded. VOTE: Unanimous. ITEM #6: Hauth introduced the TIP list request. She noted that she has re -written the list to include the projects discussed at the September meeting. Sagar said that the request list is very different than the most pressing problems being discussed at the Transportation Plan public hearing. He suggested the Planning Board should recommend a plan more in line with the pressing problems and asked if Brady Road could be added to the list. Members asked for more information about the road and Hauth explained its proposed location and function. The members agreed that the road should be added and discussed its location in the priority list. Quinn suggested making it the top priority, since it addresses our primary problem. Turner said she could not support it being located higher than Nash Street, which is in great need of improvement to safeguard the lives of children attending schools in the area. Sagar suggested that it could replace the Western Bypass, since the feasibility study has been funded. The members discussed this. MOTION: Sagar moved to add Elizabeth Brady Road to the TIP list in place of the Western Bypass. Speed seconded. Taylor made a friendly amendment to include Brady Road, but also add the construction of the Western Bypass as project 8. This amendment was accepted by Sagar and Speed. VOTE: Unanimous. MOTION: Tuell moved to add the construction of bicycle lanes on Eno Mountain Road as project 9. Quinn seconded. VOTE: Unanimous. MOTION: Tuell moved to recommend the TIP list as amended to the Town Board. Gill seconded. VOTE: Unanimous. Taylor adjourned the meeting at 8:05 pm. Respectfully submitted, J- Margare6A. Hauth, Secretary
