Peter Sorgi asked if the board was a seven-person board? Chairman Doug Crow and Tim Strouth both responded, yes. Peter Sorgi noted he thought there were alternates and not a seven-person board. Chairman Doug Crow and Tim Strouth both responded, seven member and two alternates. Peter Sorgi stated that they were fine tabling this. It’s a fair thing, but we would have to go through the whole presentation again, so whatever the board wants to do. Chairman Doug Crow stated that we can make a motion for or against, and if against, the Town Board can decide whether they want to pursue or ask us to reconsider. Which has happened so we can articulate why. Peter Sorgi asked where the 300 feet of the Rural Residential district started. Asst. CEO Richard Miga replied that the district starts after the right-of-way (ROW). The ROW width is half the street width and is measured from the centerline of the street. After that width, the three hundred feet begins. Chairman Doug Crow reiterated that the board should rule in favor or against as they owe it to the applicant to try, but it appears to be a split. The other alternative is to table it. Norm Merriman stated that considering the property as it is now and has been for a while, let’s face it, it’s in decline, and believes it is a good way to use the property. It is harmless or nearly harmless to the whole community, and there seems to be a pledge that the property is going to be fixed up. Norm Merriman made a motion to the Planning Board to recommend to the Town Board to approve the Site Plan request as submitted for 1196 Big Tree Road SBL# 165.00-1-28.21 as presented by Sorgi & McCarthy, PLLC, for the redevelopment of the present site for a campground with a wellness theme and customarily incidental accessory-use structures. It would be a good additional to that portion of the Town and is pretty harmless. Ben Garvey amends the motion with the condition that the Building Department provide clarification that the main building is considered under the Agricultural zoning district for zoning ordinances and the rights there of, and not in the Rural Residential zoning district. Seconded by Ben Garvey Upon a vote being taken: Ayes- 3 Noes- 2 Motion denied.
