development necessary for a sustainable community rest in the decisions of the Town
 Board. Zoning codes arbitrarily changed that have been on the books for years sets a
 bad precedent if the only reason is, it’s now in my backyard and I don’t like it. It can
 have a domino effect on community stability, income and controlled growth. Would it
 be great to slam the door on all future housing development, as this proposal would
 be a step in that direction, many might say yes. Would it be sustainable and fiscally
 responsible to do so, I believe that ship has sailed. I am recommending to the Town
 Board that at this time the proposal to change the zoning code for subdivisions should
 not be considered.”
