further review the village code with the village attorney. He asked the other board members if
they had any questions or concerns.

Member Guy Marlette suggested that because it is an advertised public hearing to adjourn and
set a time and date for later this week to vote as this would allow time for the questions about the
village codes to be answered so that the board could make a final decision. Member Terry
Skelton said he felt that taking a few days to get the answers was the best thing to do. All the
members agreed and decided to meet on Friday July 31* at 5:00 p.m. Chairman Muhlbauer said
he had a few more questions for Mr. Roberts and asked about a time frame as to when he thought
this project would be complete? Mr. Roberts said about one year as he has a construction loan to
make draws on and would like to get the outside work done before winter as to allow time to do
work on the inside. Chairman Muhlbauer asked CEO John Baker if there was anything he was
waiting on for any projects going on with this property. He said all permits have been applied
and paid for but is waiting on an electrical inspection for the rear dwelling upper apartment to do
final inspection and deliver certificate of occupancy. He also asked about SEQR and was told
because of the size of the lot it was not required.
Chairman Muhlbauer asked Mr. Roberts if he was planning on any landscaping and mentioned
the tree line along the property has a dead tree. Mr. Roberts said he is planning on planting a tree
in the front and is aware of the dead tree and will have it removed. Chairman Muhlbauer also
asked about what lighting he would be using and to keep neighbors in mind as to not have it be
 intrusive.

Member Guy Marlette asked Mr. Roberts about the debris around the work site and if he would
be putting up a fence during construction. Mr. Roberts said he would put up fencing during the
construction, and the only debris is two piles of wood. Member Terry Skelton said he would like
to see the open permits closed out soon and asked about a time frame for them. Mr. Roberts said
he would contact the electric inspector this week and let John know when he can do his
inspection. He said the barn should be finished within the next week.

With no further questions from the board, Chairman Muhlbauer asked for any public comments
and Mr. Robert Runge from 253 N. Buffalo St. had concerns about the setback as would like to
see it line up with the rest of the street. CEO John Baker said it is 20 feet and it meets the
requirement.
