◦ Deputy Mayor Hartung acknowledged Mr. Sonner’s concerns and explained that parking concerns on Larned Lane have been brought to the Village Board for several years, especially related to safety concerns due to the blind hill and limited access for emergency vehicles to navigate the narrow road. Those concerns were sent to the Public Safety Board resulting in a recommendation to restrict parking. The Village held public hearings to give residents an opportunity to support or oppose the proposed change. ▪ Mr. Sonner asked if residents of Larned Lane were sent notices of the public hearing. He also questioned if any consideration was given to alternate measures for correcting the safety concerns aside from prohibiting parking. ◦ Deputy Mayor Hartung explained that public hearing notices were published in the Orchard Park Bee newspaper, not directly sent to residents. He also was not aware whether any alternate ideas were presented to the safety committee.
