Page 4 February 3, 2026 At the last meeting G. Marlette was inquiring if the Town needed to have another Public Hearing in regards to the ongoing solar project, and after consulting with the Town Attorney it was decided that no Public Hearing is necessary. The next vote that the Town Board takes will be yay or nay for the project. ITEM #11: Business from the Members M. Cochran asked if the Board had received an email from ECode with a list of all of the changes that were made from the old code to the new. No one else received that email, so he will forward it to the rest of the Members. ECode 360 also sent out an email about trending legislation, agricultural preservation, and there was a blog about how to preserve farming. CEO Roberts found some discrepancies with the new code book, and Secretary Safford is going to be conferring with previous Secretary Schweikert to check into this. Any changes that need to be made to the new code book will need to be made by Local Law by the Town Board. CEO Roberts is wondering about automatic rezoning after a mine closes. Joe McCarthy is refusing to rezone his property since his mine is no longer active. Council Member Drake thought that this matter had already been researched, and it was discovered that State law said that it automatically rezones after a mine is closed. CEO Roberts believes that the Town needs to take the steps to rezone, and he needs to speak with Town Attorney Attea. CEO Roberts has also been in touch with Ethan Waterman in regards to installing a new sign at his business on Vaughn Street. The Board discussed what the code would allow for adding a second sign. The way the code reads is that he would need to go before the ZBA to add an additional sign. ITEM #12: Motion of Adjourn M. Cochran made the motion, seconded by J. Jozwiak, to adjourn the meeting at approximately 8:12 p.m. All in favor. Carried. The next meeting will be Tuesday, March 3, 2026. __________________________________ Laura Safford Planning Board Secretary
