Minutes
October -7, 1982
Frank Sheffield presided. Members present were Brody, Cannity, Goodwin, Holman,
Martin, Plambeck, and Page. The meeting was called to order at 7:30 P.M.
Frank Sheffield asked for comments or suggestions on a policy regarding rezoning
requests and the procedure for consideration of those requests. Sheffield suggested
that rezoning requests should be made at least one week prior to the Planning Board's
next meeting so that the Zoning Officer could mail out information on the request
along with the agenda. He felt that the Planning Board needed the time to consider
the request prior to the meeting. He noted that the rezoning request from Willie
Laws had not come in early enough to be considered in such a manner.
Rick Cannity pointed out that the County Board of Commissioners meets to consider
rezonings only four times a year in a regular joint public hearing with the County
Planning Board. In this case, Cannity suggested asking the Town Board to set a
public hearing for the Laws rezoning since a written policy had not been approved.
Myron Martin and Nancy Goodwin noted that changes had been made, but a retyped
copy had not been presented. The changes had been made in early 1982.
Cannity suggested that when the Planning Board agreed on a written policy, perhaps
the Town Board should be asked to approve that policy on rezoning procedure also.
Mr. Laws was then invited to discuss the rezoning request. He stated that no
one had notified him in 1979 when his land at the intersection of Highway 70
and St. Mary's Road was put under the Town's jurisdiction and zoned by the
Town's Zoning Ordinance. The Gulf Station on the Laws' property has been in
operation over 30 years. Laws obtained a zoning permit for a 40 by 80 foot
building to be used for commercial purposes in the Spring of 1980 from the
Town's Zoning Officer. Laws felt that he should have been notified about the
zoning. He also pointed out the commercial uses located across the highway
from his businesses. He stated that he just found out that he is in a non-
conforming use. He said that he would like to request that his request be
sent to the Town Board and that the Planning Board ask the Town Board to set
a public hearing to consider the rezoning request.
Discussion of the zoning, rezoning request, and referral to the Town Board
was held by the Planning Board. Concern was expressed regarding access and
the lack of barriers to limit entrance and exit to and from Laws'. land under review.
Barbara Page made a motion to refer the rezoning request to the Town Board and
ask for a public hearing on the request. Myron Martin seconded the motion.
The motion passed unanimously.
Under old business the mobile homes on Nash and King Streets were considered.
The thirty days had expired for the notice sent out by the Zoning Officer.
The next step is for the Zoning Officer to refer the matter to the Town Attorney
who is to refer it to the Town Board.
Mobile home parks in existence in December, 1979 and still in existence in December,-
1982
ecember,1982 are to come into compliance with the Zoning Ordinance. Letters had not been
sent out by the previous Zoning Officer. The current Zoning Officer was instructed
to publish notification in the News of Orange and notify mobile home owners to
regarding Section 9 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Minutes of the Sept. 16, Aug. 19, and June 3 meetings were amended on motion by
Hilda Brody and -seconded by Barbara Page. Committee reports were made. The meeting
was then adjourned
