ZONING ORDINANCE REVIEW
Chairman
Ketchum updated the Board members with progress thus far to update the zoning
ordinance as follows:
- Wind Energy Regulations – Chairman
Ketchum sent changes from previous meeting to the Attorney for his review;
still waiting for his response.
Chairman will check to make sure changes listed in the 6/6/17
minutes have been included in the latest draft.
- Solar Energy Regulations – A draft was
distributed to all Board members that included suggestions from the CEO
and a NYSERDA model. Members are to
review ontheir own time and send comments, questions or concerns to
Chairman Ketchum before the next meeting.
It is rumored that two separate solar projects have been presented
to various land owners in Granby.
- Noise Ordinance – Started a discussion
that the Town Board would like the Ordinance to include a section
pertaining to noise and some members felt that it should be a Local
Law. Members should research the
Oswego County’s noise ordinance for comparison.
SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS
An
issue arose at the Oswego County Clerk’s office when a Granby resident
attempted to file and record a survey map that subdivided his parcel into two
lots. The County Clerk refused to accept
the map without approval from the Town’s Planning Board and when the resident
approached the CEO they were told that the Town does not require planning board
action until four or more lots are created.
A letter was drafted to the County Clerk with explanation of the Granby
Subdivision Regulations for inclusion in the County’s records to prevent the
same situation from reoccurring.
ADJOURN
With no other business before
the Board a motion to adjourn at 8:41 pm was moved by David
Crockford and seconded by Carl Nylen, all were in favor, motion carried.
Minutes from notes supplied
by Vice Chairman Jane Crego,
Respectfully submitted by:
Lisa Somers, Planning Board secretary
