Planning Board
Business:
T.
Schleiser questioned the status of the “changes to the Main St. asphalt.” The Board decided that it should be on record
that the Planning Board does not support or endorse either the original
project, or the subsequent “fix” and the “dumb-ass” responsible should be held
accountable for the inferior drainage of the roadway. Further, the Planning Board protests the
County initiated action that proceeded without any regard to the Planning
Board’s recommendation and without any apparent regard for the Town’s general
health, safety, or welfare.
T. Austin updated the Board on discussions
with Citizens Bank and Quickway with regard to lighting. Quickway stated that
lights are on a timer to shut-off at 10:15; manager to look into problems with
the timer. A. Thomas to monitor for any
changes. Citizens Bank will be submitting
a statement that ATM operation 24 hours a day constitutes “open” and therefore
they are in compliance with the Sign Law.
The Planning Board accepted these reports.
A. Briggs made a motion to submit a full page
ad to support Hartwick Field Days. M.
Kennedy seconded the motion and the vote had the following result (6,0,0);
motion carried. Further, A. Briggs was
instructed to get an invoice from the Fire Department to remit for voucher
payment.
G. Schilling made a motion to adjourn the
meeting. The motion was seconded by T.
Schleiser seconded the motion. The
motion carried by unanimous vote (6,0,0) and the meeting adjourned at 7:45 PM.
