  G. Marlette told the Members that he was appointed to the Village of Springville
Planning Board. He brought up the Aguirre property on Vaughn Street. There was a fire
there previously and currently there are a lot of items on the property. G. Marlette is
wondering what CEO Roberts is going to do about that, and he said he isn’t sure at this
time. It is a difficult case. Chairman Edbauer said that his opinion is that CEO Roberts
should send a letter to the owner about cleaning it up.

  J. Miller asked about the shipping containers on a property on Vaugn Street by
Genesee Road. CEO Roberts explained that the homeowner is in compliance with the
Town codes for the placement of those containers. He also asked about the firewood
located on Genesee Road. The large logs are very close to the road, and the owner is
buying and selling the wood. CEO Roberts stated that the wood can be sold as an
agricultural product. If the wood gets kiln dried that changes things, but the property
owner is not doing that.

  Chairman Edbauer said that he has seen an excessive amount of garbage laying
around on the side of the roads. He has called the County about the items on his street.
This led to a discussion about the amount of garbage that the Mobile Home Park on
North Street usually has out for Spring trash pick up, and the new rules that are going to
be in effect for the pick up this year. Chairman Edbauer asked if CEO Roberts knows the
fine for littering-that is not something that he deals with as CEO.

  CEO Roberts let the Board know that he is going forward with the rezoning for
the McCarthy property on Spaulding Road. The property is currently zoned as mining,
but since the mine is closed the Town can rezone it back to the original RAG. He also
spoke about business permits. There is nothing in the current Code about business
permits, so he would like the Members to do some research into where the business
permit section could go in the Code Book, or if Town Attorney Attea should address this.
Since there are no rules currently about business permits, CEO Roberts is not sure how to
enforce this. Chairman Edbauer would like the Members to do some investigating into
this before the next meeting. There are also a few changes that CEO Roberts has found
that have to be made to the new code book. CEO Roberts told the Members that he and
Eric Wiedemann went to the Mobile Home Park on North Street to do a preliminary
inspection and it looked better than he has ever seen it in the spring. He has not been to
the Middle Road Mobile Home Park yet.

ITEM #7:  Motion of Adjourn

  J. Zybert made the motion, seconded by G. Marlette, to adjourn the meeting at
7:39 p.m. All in favor. Carried. The next meeting will be Tuesday, May 6, 2025.
