Chairman Doug Crow stated the motion does not pass. The board could make a countermotion to recommend that they do not do it, but he does not believe that it will pass so it might be best suited to recommend this be tabled till our next meeting. We can move it to the Town Board and say we cannot make a decision, but they might not accept that and request that we try again with more people. Peter Sorgi asked with regard to the Special Use permit motion. Tim Stroth asked Asst. CEO Rich Miga, since the Site Plan did not pass, is there a need to go through the Special Use permit? Asst. CEO Richard Miga replied, yes. Norm Merriman made a motion to the Planning Board to recommend to the Town Board to approve the Special Use permit 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. Seconded by Ben Garvey with the same condition previously stated for the site plan application. Upon a vote being taken Ayes- 3 Noes- 2 Motion denied. Chairman Doug Crow restated that after the motion, they did not have the needed four votes. The option to table the application is available, but this board is an advisory board, and the Town Board is the ultimate authority to schedule the public hearing or decide to send the applications back to this board to review with more members to achieve the four-member threshold. Peter Sorgi responded that the Town Board would review this board’s findings and decide whether to proceed or send it back to this board? Chairman Doug Crow replied yes, and he has seen them do that. Peter Sorgi said Thank you very much for your time. PUBLIC COMMENTS: None. OLD BUSINESS: Chairman Doug Crow stated that, with member Chelsea Root not being present in tonight’s meeting, the internal checklist she developed will not be reviewed and commented on tonight. Chairman Doug Crow made a motion to adjourn
