Reg. Mtg. #12  Mtg. #14  6/15/88  Page 3

RESOLVED the Town Board does declare a Negative SEQRA Declaration as recommended by the Planning Board 6/8/88.

 

Before the vote was taken, Councilman Curley requested clarification re: the existing fence and relocation of overflow parking from John Bailey, Esq. representing Taylor-Pohlman Industries and Richard Sullivan, Esq. representing Mr. & Mrs. McFeeley.

 

Mr. Bailey stated the Petitioners and himself had a meeting with Mr. McFeeley and his Attorney Richard Sullivan. It was agreed to leave the fence, trees and shrubs as they exist as a buffer.

 

Mr. Sullivan stated there was no agreement reached but reluctantly the Petitioners agreed to leave the fence, trees and shrubs as they exist when the Planning Board re-commended this proposal. He stated the Building Department notified the PlanningBoard that the McFeeley property is zoned I-1. This was very, upsetting to Mr. and Mrs. McFeeley as they were never notified of the change and certainly this has a dramatic impact on the valuation of their property. He cannot understand why on a 10 acre site, expansion has to be directed towards the residential property. He stated he believes if the Planning Board had had a copy of the Taylor-Pohlman Master Plan and fully real­ized the type of industry to be on this site, when they first appeared for approval about three years ago, the Planning Board would have made some changes on the proposed plans.

 

After a lengthy discussion by members of the Town Board and both Attorneys, covering many related items including fencing, parking along residential lot line, expansion towards residential property, Planning Board recommendation, etc. Councilman Mills stated he felt very uncomfortable voting on this resolution today after reviewing all this information and the Planning Board minutes. He was in favor of putting this item on a work session for review.
