BUSINESS FROM THE FLOOR
The following appeared in the matter of the adoption of the rezoning of the property at the corner of Big Tree Road and California Road.
1. Charles Corbo, 4182 California Road:
2. Blanche Corbo, 4182 California Road:
Requested the Town Board explain the decision made to make the buffer zone on California Road at 133 feet from the center of the road instead of the 200 feet as was discussed in negotiations after the public hearing. They still were adamant
that the 350 feet buffer zone should have been left as it appears on the Zoning Map.
Mrs. Corbo also stated she believes at least 2-3 residents of the California Road - Big Tree Road area should be allowed to be on the Design Standards Board for the Quaker Centre Industrial Park.
3. Lisa Corbo, 4182 California Road - feels the residents needs were disregarded when the decision was made.
4. Richard Hutchinson, 4202 California Road - wants buffer zone left as 350 feet as on Zoning Map.
5. Terry Yeager-Hutchinson, 4202 California Road - wants buffer zone left as 350 feet as on Zoning Map.
6. Robert Frantsits, 4270 California Road - reiterated the need for an Environmental Impact Study, would prefer a school on this property and against rezoning, against 133 feet buffer zone, and people did not have a say in the decision.
7. Mrs. Organisciak, 22 Queens Place - requested why buffer zone was changed from 350 feet as on original Zoning Map?
8. Harold Chaplin, 5684 Big Tree Road - questioned whether the road will, come out on the west side of his property?
Councilman Mill explained that without the rezoning adoption the Town would have no control over the property. He stated Mr. Krog from the Quaker Centre Industrial Park wanted to use 50' of the 100' buffer, zone for parking,, but the Town Board refused to allow this.
Councilman Curley stated the Town Board has discussed the necessity to expand the Design Standards Board from 7 to 9 or 10 people to accommodate the appointment of three people from the California Road area and the, Stepping Stone Lane area to.this Board.
At this time, approximately 10:00 PM EDT, the Supervisor left the meeting explaining he had had lazer treatment earlier in the day on one of his eyes.
Members of the Town Board attempted to relate the reasons for the compromise, the need for the expansion of the Industrial Park, the tax revenues that shall be seen in the, future to Orchard Park and hopefully the residents can understand the Town, , Board's decision in this matter.
After a lengthy discussion, Mrs. Corbo was asked to submit two names to be on the Design Standards Board. The residents are not against the Industrial Park but are very unhappy about the footage adopted as a buffer zone.
At this time, Councilman Mill adjourned the meeting at 10:22 PM EDT. Respectfully submitted,
Betty K. Reukauf , Town Clerk
