NEW BUSINESS
Chairman Ward noted that a letter from Town Manager Mariano requested
that the Planning Board go ahead with the reenactment of the Open Space
Land and Recreation Land which is to be included in the Zoning
Ordinance.
Attorney Sliney noted that he recommended to the Town Commission that
this Ordinance be adopted as a Zoning Ordinance because it affects land
uses and has monetary land uses. The Town Attorney stated that this
Ordinance should be reenacted in the method of the Zoning Ordinance.
In a brief discussion regarding the placement of said Ordinance in the
Code Book, the Town Manager advised that the codifying corporation
determines where the appropriate position will be.
The Town Attorney explained that monies collected as a result of this
Ordinance will be deposited in a separate fund that will be set up for
this specific Ordinance; and, such money should be spent for improvement
for the Town. The language in the Ordinance was designed for the
purpose of putting it on the books because there is new growth in Town
which should pay for itself --you want it spent on things caused by the
new growth.
• Attorney Sliney noted that the Planning Board, per State requirements,
will have to hold a few Public Hearings with regard to this matter. The

The Building Department Procedures were reviewed by the Planning Board
Members. Chairman Ward noted that he had been advised by Building
Official Hardy, who had checked with various governmental bodies, that
any plan for construction of less than three units is not required to be
reviewed by the County Fire Marshall; therefore, on page 3, Section 8.4
(a) (1) was amended to include the following sentence "For buildings
exceeding two units, the _proposed plans shall be reviewed and certified
by the County Fire Marshall for access prior to filing with the Town".
Chairman Ward further noted that on page 5, Section 6, the following
sentence was deleted "Complete plans are also sent by the applicant to
the County Fire Department and the County_Health Department, which after
approval are then returned to the Building Department".
Following brief discussion, the Planning Board Members agreed to the
amendments. Chairman Ward requested the Members to insert the amended
40 pages into the draft which will be the final document.
