Planning Board Business:
T. Austin, Local Laws Enforcement, discussed the process of personally notifying the ST HWY 28 business owners of the Sign Law and the permitting process required. He stated that all businesses were contacted; many, as seen on the agenda, chose to apply. Three business owners did not apply and were, as such, still in violation.
The Planning Board felt it appropriate to initiate formal enforcement action on those owners that did not comply with T. Austin's verbal request.
V. Rozella made a motion to adjourn the meeting. The motion was seconded by T. Schleiser. The motion carried by unanimous vote and the meeting adjourned at 8:30 PM.
