 Citizen Participation

  Patrick Bishop from AMVETS Boston Post 219 came in to discuss a new sign
that his organization would like to place at their location at 10123 Springville Boston
Road. The size of the sign they would like is not allowed in the RAG district that the
building is in. CEO Roberts advised him to come to this meeting to discuss a special use
permit. The sign in question would be 5x8, and 4 ½ feet off of the ground, and would be
placed over a bell that is already on the premises. J. Jozwiak advised him to make sure
that the lights from the sign would not interfere with drivers on the road. The Members
and CEO Roberts discussed whether a special use permit or a zoning board of appeals
would be best for this matter, and a special use permit was advised. Mr. Bishop is going to
attend the Town Board meeting on Thursday and ask the Town Board to waive the permit
fee for their organization, and he is going to come into the Town Clerk’s office with the
special use permit. This matter will be on the next Planning Board agenda in November.

 Ang Shaver was approached about purchasing the Baptist Church on Mortons Corners
Road and wants to know how to rezone it so that it can be used for music education and
