Horton, Supervisor Members of the Town Board Bennett Orlowski, Jr., Chairman Proposed Local Laws To create a new Article solely for the Agricultural Conservation (A-C) and Low Density R-80 Districts To amend the existing Affordable Housing District Law to create permanent Affordable Housing To create a Rural Incentive District November 3, 2003 The Planning Board reviewed and discussed the aforementioned proposed laws. A majority of the Board supports adopting the three legislative proposals as drafted because they will help the Town achieve the goals set forth in its comprehensive vision for itself. The Town needs to take decisive action to encourage and enhance existing voluntary preservation efforts as well as to encourage and guarantee permanently affordable housing stock for local residents and employees. The proposed RID provides clear incentives to landowners to preserve their land voluntarily by providing density that can only be realized through a Development Rights Sale. The minority comments were not received prior to the deadline of this document. In addition, the Board offers the following comments to improve the draft text: The affordable housing legislation should include text to require 75% affordable units, to set clear guidelines as to eligibility and to ensure permanent affordability. Also, the accessory apartment should be subject to the same affordability guidelines. BO:ck ELIZABETH A.
