Requires Immediate Attention:
Nothing at this time
II.
Items of Concern:
Since the ZBA office is still waiting to hear from the Suffolk County Department of
Labor about sending a part-time staff person (to replace Vernetta Taylor), the Chair
requested of our consultant Linda Kowalski, that she train our own staff on how to
work on required data entries of legacy files which have assigned application
numbers and were closed prior to the creation and use of our cun'ent computer
tracking system. These files are crucial to the proper functioning of the Municity
program. Staff is now capable of engaging in this work on a weekly basis as time
permits. The department needs additional staff' ASAP dedicated to this task.
111.
Policies:
During the work session of the ZBA at the February 25th Regular Meeting, the
Chairperson requested that Assistant Town Attorney Andaloro present a Declaration
of Covenaots and Restrictions form to be used by her office when C&R's are written
into decisions by the ZBA. After discussion by Board members, resolution was made
and duly adopted to approve the use of this form as ZBA policy.
To ensure that Board decisions are based upon accurate and consistent information
from applicants, the ZBA office staffhas been instructed to no longer calendar
applications that do not include updated surveys showing both as built m~d proposed
improvements. This requirement is now reflect in the application instructions.
