What should we have taken on the e-mail for two hours in the country?
It doesn't matter if it's a country, it doesn't matter if it's a country, it doesn't matter if it's a country.
I think we have to do one of these things.
Take care. How are you? Congratulations.
Thank you.
And before we begin, we lost a member of our staff that had recently retired.
So Liz Del Toro, who was town clerk for about 20 years, and really didn't have a chance to enjoy her retirement.
So if we could just have a moment of silence for Liz.
Thank you.
And also last night, most of us went to a colony high school, the iCare program and the blue star mothers did a really beautiful 9-11 ceremony.
And so if we could also have a moment of silence for all those that we lost on that tragic day.
Thank you.

This public hearing is being held by Order of the Tambore to hear all persons in connection
with the proposed local law, a Mending Chapter 190 of the Code of the Town of
Colony entitled Colony Land Use Law, for the purpose of a Mending Section 190-71, relating
to providing for administrative review of minor amendments to the planned development
districts.
Notice of the public hearing has been published in official town newspaper, which is the spotlight,
and has been posted on the town clerk's bulletin board, and I have an affidavit for each.
The town board will now hear all persons interested in this proposal.
I, during the agenda session just before the meeting, after considerable discussion by the
town board, an amendment was made to the proposed local law to clarify the provision, and so
the local law as amended by vote of the town board now reads as follows, post decision actions
and limitations.
After a PDD is approved, any subsequent development proposed, which substantially complies with
the density, location, and uses of the approved PDD, may be for the sole benefit of any individual
lot or unit or any minor amendment.
After application 2, and referral by the town board, administratively reviewed for approval
by the director of planning and economic development department without the need for additional
public hearings.
And I'm that amended provision, we shall hold the public hearing.
Well, I know from our discussions on the town board that makes it much more clear us,
because we knew I knew what it meant, but when someone else reads it, it might have meant
something different.
So I think the clarification is good, but any other than that, does the board have any else to add?
I stated a few weeks ago at the last meeting that I wasn't in favor of this, but with the amendment
that Mike has just recited to the proposal, I'm good with that.
So I'm pleased with the amendment.
Thank you.
Okay.
Thanks, Jim.
Anybody in the audience?
Yes.
Hi.
This is a quite linear town resident town of Colony.
I have a question, procedural question for the town board.
With this legislative proposal legislation referred to the Albany County Planning Board prior
to a vote this evening.
Was it referred under the general municipal laws of formal referral?
I know it hasn't been on the Albany County Planning Board agenda for any type of review.
So I'd like to ask before the town board votes this evening if there could be an determination that this in fact had been referred to
to the Albany County Planning Board pursuant to the New York State General Municipal Law.
I believe any change in local zoning laws are required to be referred to the Albany County Planning Board.
I don't have any individual knowledge for any knowledge we see here that it has, but I'm pretty sure that it has been, but it's nothing that I know for certain.
Yeah.
I was understanding, under, under, under the understanding it was, but if you're not sure.
I'm not sure.
Then I think, if you're not sure, then, we have to table it until then.
I agree with her that it has to be.
Yes, it does.
And we typically do that.
But you know, I have to tell you, I didn't check before tonight.
It's just assumed that it was dying.
And it might be better that we not act on the assumption.
Okay.
Well, I have a question.
Wouldn't the amendment have to be resimitted to them anyway or no?
No.
We're opposed to this.
The lady is saying that's true before a vote can be had.
It has to go in front of the Albany County Planning Board.
She's absolutely correct.
And I'm not 100% sure that it has.
But we can complete our public hearing and then adjourn.
The way the law reads, you just can't vote on that.
Okay.
Right.
Before we have approval of Albany County Planning.
Yeah.
And unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend the the agenda meeting.
I would ask that that transcript be available.
Post it online so that we can read the discussion that occurred at that agenda meeting.
And also I've just could because I wasn't there.
Were there examples given of what would would be considered something that would be minor?
Is that minor as defined in the land use law minor or minor?
How you all were discussing minor?
So I know this amendment is just to amend the one section of the PDD law.
There are other provisions in the other parts of the land use law that may
should be looked at so that there's some consistency between the different sections in the land use law.
So maybe while you're checking on the Albany County Planning Board referral.
You could also check to see if there's other inconsistencies in the other provisions of the land use law.
I know that the PDDs have to be reviewed for a minor subdivision.
Mine, I'm excuse me, major site plan of review.
So that I just asked that.
I believe that the major site plan provisions of the land use law applied to PDD review.
So I'm not sure if those sections will jive with what you're proposing to do with the PDD law amendment.
That's new section H.
So I just like to say that.
And if also you could give examples this evening.
What you believe would be an administrative.
What the town board would think would be proper for administrative review.
I would just and that's all I have to say thank you.
I'll to answer that.
Basically what was decided upstairs was that.
In the way I wrote this initially was I followed the city of Albany.
And the intent was to give the town board as much discretion as possible as to what had to go in front of the planning board.
What didn't.
And what we did was is that after discussion to clarify and essentially limit what can go.
In front we made the change that in cases where there is no change in density,
location or use of the approved PDD.
And the proposed amendment is for the sole benefit of any one individual unit or lot.
Or it's a minor amendment.
And the example that we used upstairs was like the sisters the St. Joseph and Krandellay.
Where they had to go through the whole PDD process to move a generator pad eight feet.
And we're trying to eliminate that kind of cost and expense to homeowners.
When something does not apply or could affect the community at large.
We're trying to even the playing field for people who live in regular subdivisions.
Who can, you know, just go in and apply for, you know, an in-ground swimming pool.
As opposed to people that live in a planned development district that have to go through two public hearings in all that expense.
It's not fair to them.
And so all this does is it gives the town board the discretion to do one three thing.
The application for any planned development district or any amendment to a planned development district.
Still has to go in front of the town board.
Once the town board gets that application.
If this law passes, it'll have to write to do one of three things, deny it immediately and kill it right there and there.
Secondly, they can still refer it to the full planning board for its consideration and then recommendation as they do now.
Or third, if they determine that it meets the criteria of this new subdivision eight.
And...
And that it's for the sole benefit of, you know, one lot or one unit or it's minor, they can just refer it to the planning department.
But that does it mean that just Joe is going to make the decision. It still has to go through the process, still has to go through the various departments, because all the other provisions of the
council on five. And so it would be like going through a minor site application as I think the best example I could give.
None of that is changing. And really, all this is intended to do is make it fair for people who live in plain development district that probably don't even know they live in a plain development district to be honest with you.
And try to eliminate some of the unnecessary cost and expenses that go wrong with it.
And so we've during this.
Well, and we really just just for clarification also about what went on upstairs in case it doesn't get posted right away.
Because I know they don't they don't I would like to see those pre agenda transcripts posted, but they're not consistently posted, but.
We were really looking at thinking more of like the decks, the pools and accessory structures like sheds more than anything.
Well, accessory structures like a good zebra right.
May I comment now.
My name is Susan Weber. I'm speaking, I'm behalf of Save Colony partnership for planning.
We put we submitted a letter to the town board and supervised on the hand about this bill, and I'm very glad that the bill was amended.
I think the members of this board who spoke to clarify what what was intended here and did a very good job in tightening things up and the supervisor as well.
Thank you very much.
I'd like to say though that.
When we.
I for nine years was legislative council at DEC, it was my job to massage bills that were going from our agency before the legislature.
And I did a lot of of bill drafting myself and I'd like to say that doing it.
The bill drafting in a room with a lot of people arguing and coming up with ideas all at once and writing as best we can is not the best way to go about it.
And I really love to Mike mark up what you've got there.
I can make it really tight and really nice for you.
And it'll look like it's a professional job instead of a bill that was drafted by committee in a room in a hurry.
So I offer that.
Secondly, I'd like to say also that.
A plant development district is a very specialized item under the law.
And what that item does as we all know is it gives the developer the right to a much higher density development than he or she would ordinarily have.
So instead of maybe under the single family residential zoning having the ability to build 10 units.
The developer of a PDD may get to develop 30 and instead of making a profit of 20,000 or 80,000 on 10 units.
Here she gets to make 20,000 or 80,000 on 30 units.
It's a change in a zoning law.
In fact, and that's why it's necessary under the law to make an amendment with the same.
Very strict.
What?
Help me with it.
Screw me.
And the steps that are required to change a law.
All right.
That's why.
So I understand the need to the desire to make it possible for a level playing field between people who live in an ordinary development and want to put a pool in.
And people who live in a PDD and want to put a pool in.
But it's a different entity and it really has to be done according to statute.
And I'm delighted that you're going to be tightening.
So as Joe Lasavita suggested, what he's looking for is the ability to administratively approve a DACA pool and a SHET.
And accessory structures.
That's terrific.
So thank you for fixing it.
Thank you.
And I think with the PDDs, I think I think we all are on the same page as far as, you know, that is, that is an area that needs to be looked at from when this was all developed years ago into the new zoning in 2007.
And so that is an area that we're looking at.
And some of the PDDs were already approved.
And we worked with them.
It's the best of our ability.
I know in the one case that we were talking about.
We actually reduced the density because they wanted apartments and townhouses.
And there are some, you know, that have been denied because of too much density based on location.
It's in the middle of a commercial area.
That's different than in the middle of a residential area on a busy street.
So there's lots of different things that we have to look at.
But part of that is, you know, there's still more work to be done because the complain is completed now.
So the land use laws come next.
And PDDs are at the top of our list.
There are some areas where they work very well.
The apartments by the crossings and commercial area there.
And that's that aviation.
It fits there.
But same thing may not fit somewhere else.
And so, you know, that's something that we have to look at.
Or planning has to look at or whoever's here has to look at those types of things.
And that is, that is one of the things that was recommended in the Duke complain and for a very good reason.
So there are some zoning changes from 2007 that were made that work well.
And there are some that don't work so well.
So that's what we're working on as well.
But I think your question might is, are we looking to adjourn it?
Yeah, I think we could do a close, close recovery.
And then adjourn the vote.
On this topic, sir.
We're talking about planned development districts.
Is that what you wanted to talk about?
I'm sorry.
I have two hearing aids.
Did you want to talk about your yard?
Yes.
Okay.
I'm probably good.
Okay.
That's going to be something different.
I know, you know, what you're wanted in a few minutes.
We had some problems there before.
You want me to wait.
Yeah.
You could.
You know, just so, because we're in the middle of the public hearing.
Is there anyone else that has a question about the PDDs?
We're willing to wait.
I'm willing to come back.
No, no.
We'll be done with this and then we'll have public comment.
Okay.
Why for?
No.
It's not your fault.
You just have to see and relax and we'll get you different.
Okay.
We're going to have no more questions.
Okay.
Yes.
Is that it?
I think that's it.
We're going to close the public hearing and then adjourn it until we confirm that it's been approved by the
Albany County planning vehicle.
Right.
Close the public hearing.
And do we have a motion to adjourn?
I make a motion to adjourn this until we have confirmation that the proposal has gone before the
Albany County planning board for review.
Compliance with.

We'll have public comment now.
Sir, you come on up.
You want us to, can you, Greg?
My name is Kurt Dagle.
I live at three Gregory Lane here in Lowlandville.
And I've been here before and I'm going to ask again the town
Use its influence to get the mess.
That's just west of my western property line to get the cleaned up.
It's a collapsed foundation.
There's a lot of growth there.
I know there are metal components buried in there.
And I know this, I've talked about this many times.
There has been worked on a property in response to some of my complaints
North and South on the barn.
But nothing done was between my property line and the barn on the west side.
I have indicated in the past that I'd be willing to give some financial support.
But if nothing gets done, then I would ask the town to see what they could do.
This is the same problem as for Dagle's we had in the past.
I'm sorry.
It's the same problem that we had in the past.
He cleaned it up before, but it's back to being overgrown.
We have this understand.
He cleaned up as a barn.
The barn sets three feet off my western property.
Right?
To the left and to the right to the southern north of the barn.
He cleaned it up.
But the area between the barn and my property line is not fudge.
Like what kind of mess is there specifically?
Like what do you do?
Is it overgrown with weeds, tractor parks, garbage, tires?
What's there exactly?
Well, right now, what you see is a collapsed foundation with a lot of growth.
And what the thing that's six in my mind is a mill, a mill, a solar, like a full pan solar.
That's what it looks like.
Would it be right if I come over to your house tomorrow and pick a look at it?
You're welcome to take a look at where the show is.
I mean, I can appreciate that.
I'm not trying to put up that name on anybody in the mirror is too much to handle.
But if you did a little at a time, it would get done.
And I know that some communities when a push comes to shove, they'll go in and do it and send you a bill.
And I'm not pushing for that, but if that's what it takes, it takes.
I'd be glad to see you at the moment.
Can you give me the idea, what time?
You tell me.
Well, between 11 and 1.
That's fine.
Okay.
Thank you.
All right.
Take it easy.
Yeah.
Be careful.
