SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Is there anyone on the Board, who would like to make some
comments this evening? ~
COUNCILWOMAN HUSSIE: I have a present for you all. If you recall some time ago,
I had asked the Planning staff to come up with a table of use regulations, which
in essence, extrapolated from the Code Book the various things that could be done
in various different zones. It's been back and forth, and we finally have it, and
I think that you all should be the first to receive the maiden copy, so to speak.
I understand that these have been in use, even though they're not official yet. I
mean officially given to you, but they seem to be very helpful in the Building
Depart,lent, and' also, the Planning Board. By prior arrangement they will be
available to the public for $1.00 from the Town Clerk's Office. Am I correct, Judy?
TOWN CLERK TERRY: If th'at's what you're going to charge, then I'll be selling
them for a dolla~r, plus tax. I didn't know that you were going to charge.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: The purpose of these forms is to show in shorthand, the
uses that are permitted, or that are permitted as a Special Exception under each
zone in the town. ! think that this is the kind of aid, that the Town should be
preparing to make it easier for the community, for the residents of the town, to
figure out with our various departments in the town. Joe?
,COUNCILMAN LIZEWSKI': I'd like to say, that I spent our first thirty days with
my new Board, and that I had some reservations about how well this was 9oin9 to
go, and I think that the new Board has made some leaps today. We put together
a Legislative Committee'. I was very upset for the first thirty days, and the fact
that things.were bein9 brought before this Board, that basically were not being
looked at in a legislative fashion, or with the Zoning Board, and the Ptannin9 Board,
thin9s like the Burger King change of code, and some of these things, but today
we put together a Personnel Committee, and a Legislative Committee. I think it's
a big step forward in lessenin9 the amount of time we'll ,Spend at our main meetings,
because I think these things will be hacked out a little bit before they 9et to
main meetin9, and I think we're 90in9 to save some.ti~me~ and 9et a lot more done.
I think it was a ,good step in the right direction, as we.get these~ stun, ding committees
in motion, and 9et them, workin9. I'm very h,appy to say, that, I thir)k I'll enjoy
working With R~i~h on the'L~egis, ative~ Comr~itte~,. ~d A, li~e ~n the;:'Pe~Sonnel Committee.
SUPERVISOR WlCKHAM: Thank you, Joe. It's a pleasure havin9 you on the Board,
too. Any other comments? Ruth?
COUNCILWOMAN OLIVA~ Just let me say, that anybody that's out, that's interested,
we will be having the Code Review Committee meeting next Tuesday',: at 5:00 P.M.
in the Conference Room.. Eve~ybodY is welcome.
SUPERVISOR wIcKR~AM: I W~UI~J iust like to comme'nt v~r¥ I~ri~¥1-y) 'that-' there are
two openings in the Land Preservation Committee, a committee of Town government,
which reviews, and makes recommendations to the Town Board of posSi!ble acquisitions
of open space in the town. The Town still has over a million dollars of funds left ~
in that account, and we don't have to spend it right now, but there have to be
quality people on that committee to make those important recommendatiqns to the TowrI
Board, as to which parcels we should be looking at, and which ones we might not.
Louisa?
JUSTICE EVANS: I should.take advantage of the air time, but I really don't have
anythin9 to say.
SUPERVISOR WlCKHAM: Joe?
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Before we close I'd like to take a moment to recognize
that the Town has lost one of it's most distinquished residents, and lormer Planning
Board Chairman, and I think that it's appropriate that we take a moment of silence,
before we close, to recognize your lather, John Wickham. Stand. One moment of
silence, please.
SUPERVISOR WICKHAM: Thank you, Joe. If that's all the business we have for
tonight, do ! hear a-motion to adjourn?
Moved by Councilwoman Oliva, seconded by Councilwoman Hussie, it was
RESOLVED that the Town Board meeting .be and hereby is adjourned at 8:15 P.M.
Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Justice Evans, Councilwoman Oliva, Councilman
Townsend, Councilwoman Hussie, Councilman Lizewski, Supervisor Wickham.
