OTHER BUSINESS
There was discussion on several projects in town. Mr. Du Vall
invited the members to accompany him at any time on inspections.
Mr. Maltz expressed concern with the properties in town which are
developed through a settlement agreement, and do not need to come
before any boards for review. He feels the Planning Board should
be made more readily aware of settlement agreements, and that the
Board should be involved in review of building plans for same.
Mr. Maltz referenced Town Ordinance No. 580 which reads that "the
Planning Board and CAB are to review of all site plans except in
the case of a settlement agreement." He stated his desire to come
before the Town Commission to discuss changing subject ordinance to
• include more involvement by the Boards' in reviewing plans of
subject settlements. MOTION was made by MR. BRESNAHAN/MR. KANE as
follows:
THE PLANNING BOARD AGREES THAT MR. MALTZ PRESENT TO THE
TOWN COMMISSION, CHANGES TO ORDINANCE NO. 580 TO INCLUDE
THAT THE PLANNING BOARD AND COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD
REVIEW PLANS OF ALL LITIGATED SETTLEMENT PROPERTY.
Rollcall met with unanimous vote.
The Board asked Attorney Sliney to present at the next Board
meeting, a summary of the RTC and Drexel settlements. Mr. Sliney
reminded the Board that they may also obtain any settlement
information at Town Hall whenever they wish.
Mr. Hill suggested that at Regular Board Meetings, summary's of any
settlements in progress be given to the Board.
The next Regular Meeting is scheduled for March 12, 1997.
With no further business to come before the Board, MOTION to
adjourn was made by MR. BROWNER/MR. BRESNAHAN at 10:25 a.m.
