July 24, 2019

The meeting opened at 7:30 pm. The meeting started with a salute to the flag. Members attending: Hank Himelright, Luke Kumburis, Don Van Wagner, John Rusconi and Phyllis Heiko. 

Hank Himelright asked if anyone had any additions, corrections or omissions to the minutes of the last meeting, May 22, 2019.  A motion to accept the minutes as corrected was made by Phyllis Heiko, seconded by John Rusconi.  All in favor.  So carried.

Anne Katrin Spiess, 356 County Route 6, Tax ID# 179.-1-48, Eric Maskell contacted Hank Himelright regarding the need to move the panels further back on the Spiess project, due to an unknown right of way.

Hank Himelright said every special permit is dependent on the Planning Board and feels the applicants should go before the Planning Board prior to coming before the ZBA.  The fact the Town Attorney and Town Engineer are present at the Planning Board meetings, errors could be avoided by the ZBA when issuing a special permit.  Motion to submit a letter to the Town Board, asking for a change in the order of applicants to appear before the ZBA and Planning Board was made by Phyllis Heiko, seconded by Don Van Wagner.  All in favor.  So carried.

Motion to adjourn was made by Phyllis Heiko, seconded by Luke Kumburis.  All in favor.  So carried.  The meeting adjourned at 8:10pm.

Respectfully submitted,

Desiree M. Webber, Secretary
