1
00:00:23,039 --> 00:00:26,199
Go ahead.

2
00:00:27,279 --> 00:00:37,719
» All right. Uh, call a meeting to order
for the village zoning board, uh, 6 pm.

3
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,719
Uh, Dan, can you please read the notice?

code of ordinances. Appeal number 5155
King Street

8
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:03,760
replacement area variance for a
non-conforming structure. Appeal 516 Pen

9
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:08,159
Park Avenue home occupation area of
variance to use more square footage than

10
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:12,240
allowed.
Thank you, sir.

11
00:01:10,159 --> 00:01:18,560
Uh, all right. Take them in order. So,
appeal number 515. Uh, Bruce Adams. All

12
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:24,495
right. Uh, usually we start off, we have
you kind of give us an explanation of

13
00:01:20,479 --> 00:01:28,560
what you're looking for or Oh, sure.
[clears throat]

14
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:34,960
Good evening, Ford. Uh, so my wife and I
live in my wife's grandparents house. uh

15
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:39,280
her grandfather had built uh what is the
current garage many years ago. Uh and

16
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:45,119
they basically built it with no
foundation, just right on the dirt. It

17
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:51,600
is failing. Uh so I'm looking to put up
a uh new garage that will be visually in

18
00:01:48,399 --> 00:01:55,920
keeping with the house. Uh and as you
can see on the same footprint, it's a

19
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:59,680
small lot. Uh I've talked with all the
neighbors. They're fine with that. I

20
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:04,079
think frankly they'd love to see
something better looking in there. Uh so

21
00:02:02,479 --> 00:02:10,080
that's that's what I'm looking for. And
it will be a uh whole building style but

22
00:02:07,439 --> 00:02:14,720
with sheeping and uh sighting to match
my house.

23
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:16,720
» Okay. Uh Dan, was there any public
comment or read in emails or anything

24
00:02:16,319 --> 00:02:19,520
like that?
>> Nope.

25
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:26,640
» Yeah.
>> Um question on board. Um well you've got

26
00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:35,680
that the footprint is
little little wider little shorter over

27
00:02:30,879 --> 00:02:43,840
» it is exactly as wide and uh the the uh
>> the red line is okay.

28
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:49,920
» Yeah. Uh and uh it is uh as deep as it
was when that survey was taken. Uh it's

29
00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:53,519
actually 8 ft deeper than the current
building. Uh there was a little uh

30
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:58,080
basically a chicken coupoop on the back
of that that was removed some time ago,

31
00:02:55,200 --> 00:03:02,400
but again it is within the same
footprint that has been on that uh

32
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:08,159
property for many many years.
>> What about height?

33
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:14,480
» Uh it will have 8 foot ceiling and a uh
and because it's only 16 foot wide, it's

34
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:18,000
not that tall of a building. Uh our
house is a two-story building, so it

35
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,599
would be significantly shorter than
that.

36
00:03:18,319 --> 00:03:21,840
» It won't have a
>> Oh, no.

37
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,159
No, my house has a flat.
>> No, the garage

38
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:28,920
» the garage will have will have a
standard roof.

39
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,920
» I got it. Sorry.

40
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,920
» Change the timeline this week.
>> Okay.

41
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,840
» So, we just got started.

42
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,319
» Hate to ask you to do it, but just one.
Could you just

43
00:03:45,519 --> 00:03:50,159
» uh This one
>> 20 second spiel for my absolutely. This

44
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:53,840
is a one-year-old now.
>> This is Yeah. The first one we're

45
00:03:51,599 --> 00:04:00,640
talking about the garage.
This is the drawing for it.

46
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:04,319
» Uh so my wife and I live in what had
been

47
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:09,519
» her grandparents house too.
>> And the uh the garage was built by her

48
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:14,560
grandfather many years ago without a
foundation. Simply hemlock on the dirt.

49
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:19,040
It is failing. Uh we'd like to replace
it with a new structure. uh one that

50
00:04:17,359 --> 00:04:24,160
will be visually in keeping with the
house. It'll be pole building style uh

51
00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:29,919
but with sheathing and sighting to match
the house uh standard construction. I'd

52
00:04:27,759 --> 00:04:35,919
like to put it within the same
footprint. No closer to the property

53
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:40,160
line than the existing building. Uh and
I've spoken with all of my neighbors. I

54
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:44,320
don't have any problem with it. As I
mentioned to the other board members, I

55
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:47,919
think they would really like to see a
nicer looking building in there.

56
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:55,120
the existing building, the corner is 1.2
ft from the property line

57
00:04:53,840 --> 00:04:57,520
that
>> it says there. Yes.

58
00:04:55,919 --> 00:05:03,360
» Okay. So, it couldn't really get too
much closer, right?

59
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:08,960
» Uh, do you have a a statement or an
email or anything written from German?

60
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:13,600
Is that your immediate neighbor?
>> Oh, no. I'm sorry. I didn't think to do

61
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:18,800
that. Uh, I've had a number of uh
conversations with him.

62
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:24,320
was just thinking that because they're
so close, but this doesn't say where

63
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:28,080
their house or any of their improvements
are on their land,

64
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:31,600
» but one foot away from the line,
>> you pull up the area or

65
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:34,960
» Yeah, that's a street view. Yeah,
>> I drove by it. Yeah,

66
00:05:33,039 --> 00:05:39,919
» it looks like it's
>> it's not crammed in there. It's not like

67
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:43,759
another house that these neighbors and I
>> Yeah.

68
00:05:40,639 --> 00:05:49,440
» And no one wrote everyone down.
went out.

69
00:05:46,639 --> 00:05:53,720
» Yeah. And as I said, I went around and
spoke personally with each of them.

70
00:06:09,919 --> 00:06:17,039
» Right. So, here's the garage. I'm
looking to replace

71
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:21,039
» my house. Jeremy's house. Their garage
is way over there. So, it's just

72
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:25,639
backyard back here.
>> Thank you.

73
00:06:22,319 --> 00:06:25,639
» Sounds way

74
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:33,440
» else have any other questions?
>> You said you had convers Sorry I'm late.

75
00:06:31,759 --> 00:06:38,000
You guys went You said you had
conversation with the chairman.

76
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:45,919
» Yes. In fact, when he got notification
of the upcoming uh things there came

77
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:49,840
over because uh it said nonconforming
uh instructions and and he he was afraid

78
00:06:48,319 --> 00:06:54,080
what that meant. I was just putting up a
a steel shed or something. I said, "No,

79
00:06:51,759 --> 00:06:56,080
no, this this will look like a
>> He's got no problem with you being that

80
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,080
close."
>> No.

81
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:10,479
» Okay. Uh, no more questions for him. We
can move on into kind of our internal

82
00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:13,479
discussions here.
Um,

83
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,520
anybody else want to go first?
>> Supposed to be 10, right?

84
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:24,160
» Mhm.
>> Uh, is it 10 or 15?

85
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:31,160
» Claims 10, but some some of our
districts have

86
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:31,160
» Well, either way, it's significantly

87
00:07:34,319 --> 00:07:41,199
I mean, there is an existing structure
there. I don't see that.

88
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:44,720
» Yeah. I I certainly tend to agree. Uh if
there's no neighbors that complain all

89
00:07:43,199 --> 00:07:49,680
in favor of improvements to someone's
lot,

90
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:54,240
seems pretty straightforward to me.
>> Um

91
00:07:51,599 --> 00:08:00,400
it is. So, I see that this is listed as
a type one variant. We have to do some

92
00:07:57,599 --> 00:08:02,560
sort of secret thing for this.
No,

93
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:07,120
» I think it's mislabelled on the
application. It seems like a type two

94
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:11,280
where there be no secret action. Yes,
>> okay.

95
00:08:07,759 --> 00:08:13,599
» Yeah, mine has two written over.
>> Oh,

96
00:08:11,759 --> 00:08:18,479
» masterable area.
>> All right. I must have got one.

97
00:08:17,039 --> 00:08:22,560
All right. So, it's type two action. No
secret required. I guess I'll move on to

98
00:08:21,039 --> 00:08:26,039
the
bouncing test.

99
00:08:26,319 --> 00:08:31,680
Balance test for variance. Number one,
would there be an undesirable change to

100
00:08:30,319 --> 00:08:35,120
the neighborhood character or a
detriment to nearby properties?

101
00:08:34,399 --> 00:08:38,080
» No.
>> Or no.

102
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,719
» Can benefit be achieved by other means
feasible to the applicant?

103
00:08:40,399 --> 00:08:44,279
» No.
>> I would say no.

104
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:54,560
» I could put it in the middle of the
yard, but that doesn't

105
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:57,279
have it derived by some other mean.
>> Uh yeah.

106
00:08:55,360 --> 00:09:01,680
» Yeah. I think fleable is a pretty key
word in there, but vote how you want,

107
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:04,240
» right? Okay.
>> What's your vote there?

108
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:10,480
» Yes.
>> Uh, okay. Three nos and one yes. Um,

109
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:14,959
number three, is this requested variance
substantial? Yes.

110
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:18,480
» Yes.
>> Is that four yeses?

111
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:21,200
» Number four, would the variance have an
adverse impact on the physical or

112
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,560
environmental conditions in a
neighborhood?

113
00:09:21,839 --> 00:09:25,760
» No.
>> No.

114
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:31,279
Number five has the alleged difficulty
to self-created difficulties.

115
00:09:29,680 --> 00:09:37,320
» Yes.
>> Yeah.

116
00:09:33,519 --> 00:09:37,320
» All right. Um

117
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:43,279
anything else we need to do here?
Seems pretty straightforward to me.

118
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:47,760
We'll make a motion.
>> Motion to allow liber.

119
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,519
» Second.
>> Favor.

120
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,080
» I.
>> Thank you so much.

121
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:57,839
» Thank you neighborhood. Beautiful. If I
may ask a question, uh, is a little late

122
00:09:54,720 --> 00:10:01,040
in the season. If I can't get this done
before winter closes in, will this

123
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,920
variant still be effective in the
spring?

124
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:08,240
» Yeah, I believe it's from here, right?
>> It's a year, not

125
00:10:06,399 --> 00:10:11,200
» Thanks, C. I think it's a straight year.
Okay. Thank you very much.

126
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:13,360
» We don't have room to guarantee that,
but

127
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:17,040
» hopefully you wouldn't have to come back
through this year.

128
00:10:15,680 --> 00:10:21,279
» And I think that's the start of the
construction. I don't think has to be

129
00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:25,079
completed here, right? He I think his
just got it started,

130
00:10:22,079 --> 00:10:25,079
» right?

131
00:10:25,519 --> 00:10:30,399
» Okay. On to the second appeal. Number
516.

132
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,680
Uh Alyssa.
>> Alicia.

133
00:10:30,959 --> 00:10:35,600
» Alicia. Sorry.
>> It's okay. It's the way to spell.

134
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:40,720
» Um yes. Hi. So I have a very small
informal home daycare over at 10 park.

135
00:10:37,839 --> 00:10:44,160
I'm uh just applying for a 20% area
variance. Uh for the code you're only

136
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:50,079
supposed to be using 30% of your floor
space. I'm using 50%. Um so I'm just too

137
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:54,880
long to feel short. was looking for a
20% area variance just to uh make it to

138
00:10:53,440 --> 00:11:00,480
next summer to be able to successfully
run my little day here.

139
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:04,480
» Okay, thanks.
>> Um, is there anybody here that was

140
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,440
hoping to speak? Were you guys here?
Just

141
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:10,720
» they're just
>> moral support.

142
00:11:07,839 --> 00:11:13,440
» All right, on to the next section. Uh,
Dan, was there any any emails? Anything

143
00:11:12,959 --> 00:11:18,800
like that?
>> No, feedback.

144
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:22,880
» Okay. Uh, questions from the board. You
said in your application that this is

145
00:11:20,560 --> 00:11:25,279
just until next summer. So, it's really
a very

146
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,680
» temporary variance.
>> Yep.

147
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:30,640
» Yep. I'm trying to I actually just want
to get bigger. I want to get a

148
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:36,399
commercial building, get licensed and
registered and and go all big and Yeah.

149
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:39,440
» Stan, can we grant a temporary variance?
>> Just grant a variance and when it

150
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:43,839
changes, it changes.
>> Well, variance runs with the land. So,

151
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:49,120
it would stay with the property forever.
So

152
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:55,360
» well I mean I mean temporary
>> property for the for this use

153
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:59,120
» that just stays home
>> just a temporary list for the amount of

154
00:11:58,079 --> 00:12:01,760
time otherwise it runs
>> they call the use variance not temporary

155
00:12:00,959 --> 00:12:06,880
variance.
>> Yeah.

156
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:09,360
» Yes. But that runs with the land
>> until the use stops

157
00:12:08,079 --> 00:12:12,560
» stay there. No,
>> if they were to leave and the use

00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:18,240
doesn't continue, then

159
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:21,680
» That's not how it works. I don't think
>> if it helps, I do plan to keep I'm going

160
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:24,399
to stay living there. I'm just going to
move the day. I'm not going to have to

161
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,880
go there.
>> You're going to get a bigger place is

162
00:12:26,079 --> 00:12:30,639
what you're saying.
>> Yes. Yeah. Like I'm I'm hoping to be

163
00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:36,399
able to get a commercial space. Not even
in Homer, out of Homer.

164
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:39,839
» It's like a pretty niche variance. I
don't know.

165
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:44,480
someone would benefit from that down the
road, even if it did live on. But if we

166
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:50,079
granted it as requested, then it would
be for a temporary, I guess.

167
00:12:46,399 --> 00:12:52,079
» But it's requested as an area variance,
>> not a use,

168
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:57,639
» right?
>> Oh, good.

169
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,639
We never had

170
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:07,920
» I don't I mean, I don't see an issue,
but does anybody have any more questions

171
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:11,399
for her? We move on to Dr.
Well, I've

172
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:23,600
I mean, from my experience, zoning does
run with the land, but New York State

173
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:28,240
has been particularly interested in
dealing with zoning and reaching inside

174
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:34,079
the property and whether a zoning law
can reach inside a property and and say

175
00:13:31,680 --> 00:13:40,240
anything about what goes on inside
property. There are exceptions when it

176
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:45,200
can and that's when
inside property is a business or a

177
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:49,279
commercial use and what it does is it
affects the health, safety and welfare

178
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:53,360
of the community which is what zoning is
supposed to protect. In that case,

179
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:59,760
zoning can reach in property and say
something about what happens in there. I

180
00:13:56,160 --> 00:14:03,839
see this as not affecting the health,
safety and welfare of the public and

181
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:10,320
zoning reaching in the property and
saying yes, this is an appropriate use.

182
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:14,800
Um, so I would certainly support it this
use. I wouldn't support a use variance

183
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:19,279
turning this into a commercial property
because there could be other external

184
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:23,360
implications. But I think that we have
no business looking inside and and if a

185
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:27,120
person living in that house and at least
my arguments and all of the things I've

186
00:14:24,959 --> 00:14:30,880
written about it say person lives in the
house has three children and you people

187
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:36,320
move into the house and have 12 children
zoning cannot make them leave. So you

188
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:40,160
have so many children in your purview
and you have so many children in your

189
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:44,199
purview and that's just the way it is.
has fully support.

190
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:53,920
» Okay.
>> Yeah. So, just I mean it's our little

191
00:14:51,279 --> 00:14:59,920
discussion. I I have been affected by
this in the past. Childare disappears

192
00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:03,360
overnight and it's a nightmare. So, I uh
I don't think

193
00:15:00,639 --> 00:15:05,040
» there's a lack of it.
>> That's another reason why I'm trying to

194
00:15:04,399 --> 00:15:10,639
go bigger.
>> Yeah. Um I don't I don't think that

195
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:16,000
percentage of the housing the kids are
running around is a problem to me. Um

196
00:15:13,519 --> 00:15:19,920
seems pretty straightforward. So
>> uh let's jump over to the

197
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:24,000
» How many kids are we talking about? Says
30% maximum of 30%.

198
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:26,560
» Yeah. My I can only have seven because
I'm not registered. I'm just informal

199
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:31,680
ambigu
>> and I have two and two of them are mine

200
00:15:28,959 --> 00:15:35,350
that live there. So they don't count.
>> They don't count.

201
00:15:32,639 --> 00:15:38,480
» My fails don't. Well,
[laughter]

202
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:41,900
terrible
terrible.

203
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,800
» Oh my gosh, that's so terrible.
[laughter]

204
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:51,780
They very much count. I mean, in the
ratio for New York State,

205
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,780
» I needed that. Thanks. [laughter]

206
00:15:52,639 --> 00:16:00,720
» Let's do the bouncing
like that.

207
00:15:57,839 --> 00:16:03,920
» Balancing test for variance.
Uh, number one, would there be an

208
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,160
undesirable change in character or
detriment to nearby properties?

209
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:10,320
» No.
>> No.

210
00:16:08,079 --> 00:16:14,560
» Two, can be achieved by other means
feasible to the applicant?

211
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:17,560
» Block along in the kitchen, but that
doesn't.

212
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:22,399
» Uh, number three, is a requested
variance substantial?

213
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:25,399
» Yes.
>> Yeah.

214
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:32,720
Yeah. Um, number four, would the
variance have an adverse impact on

215
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:37,120
physical environmental conditions in the
neighborhood? No.

216
00:16:34,959 --> 00:16:41,320
» Number five, is the alleged difficulty
themselves created?

217
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,320
» Yes.

218
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,639
Motion to grant the house.

219
00:16:45,839 --> 00:16:49,920
All
>> favor. I

220
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:53,759
» thank you. Really appreciate it.
>> Thank you.

221
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:58,800
» Make sure you count them. [laughter]
Oh, my pet.

222
00:16:56,959 --> 00:17:02,199
» My daughter hit her bad. You've been in
a lot of trouble.

223
00:17:05,839 --> 00:17:16,319
» Minutes said the one motion was tabled
last time. Um,

224
00:17:13,679 --> 00:17:23,439
» this is the one on
>> Yeah. asked me to subdivide that yard it

225
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:29,280
come back but the minutes from both the
group

226
00:17:25,360 --> 00:17:35,600
» also all there
>> have one more item to entertain is uh

227
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:40,400
due to the holidays
if there's DBA action in November and or

228
00:17:38,559 --> 00:17:43,400
Christmas we need to entertain altered
dates

229
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,400
on the

230
00:17:51,360 --> 00:18:01,080
DBA same day.
>> No, I'm trying to do both at the same

231
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,080
time.

232
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:10,160
December
because they can't do her. They can't do

233
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:14,799
it. They need 30 days to send.
>> Um, that's what I'm hearing. pling board

234
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,640
which is meeting a little later tonight.
Uh

235
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:20,039
» these [clears throat] kids are all sad,
aren't they?

236
00:18:17,039 --> 00:18:20,039
» Yeah.

237
00:18:21,722 --> 00:18:26,000
[clears throat]
>> Again, so much for your time.

238
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:29,960
» You're released on your own. Take care.
>> Thank you again. Have a good night.

239
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:39,200
» The item from the planning board uh
tonight requires a full uh environmental

240
00:18:35,919 --> 00:18:43,840
review. So, they're going to do 30 days
out. they want to meet uh come back on

241
00:18:41,360 --> 00:18:45,840
Monday the 1. If that's a date, that's
good for you. We don't h necessarily

242
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,480
have to.
>> You don't have to,

243
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:51,039
» but if you want your own date, your own
day,

244
00:18:48,799 --> 00:18:55,120
» Monday the first. But I will tell you,
moving forward after the organizational

245
00:18:53,120 --> 00:18:59,760
meeting, most likely we're going to have
these meetings ZBA first, planning

246
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:02,720
second, just the way the town does so.
So, we can all we just meet on one night

247
00:19:01,679 --> 00:19:04,799
during the month.
>> Okay?

248
00:19:03,120 --> 00:19:09,039
» As opposed to trying to wrangle everyone
for two. Portlandville started that and

249
00:19:07,120 --> 00:19:11,919
then the town picked it up and
>> that sounds

250
00:19:11,360 --> 00:19:15,919
that way.
>> Our reorganizational meeting on in

251
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:19,760
December, we'll set that motion.
>> You guys will be your board will be

252
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:24,480
first and the planning board is second.
>> Okay.

253
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:29,440
» I know no uh zoning meeting needed for
November necessarily um and or December

254
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:34,640
off the top of my head, but I would pick
at least a couple dates in both.

255
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:39,120
» Our date for November is the 20th. Mhm.
>> Yeah. Thanksgiving that

256
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:42,720
» before the holiday, I'm sure.
>> Thanksgiving is the fifth the fifth

257
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:46,160
Thursday of the month.
>> The 27th. I've got on my phone, but I

258
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:50,080
could be mistaken.
>> Thanksgiving is the 27th.

259
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:53,080
» It's the fourth Thursday after the first
Monday.

260
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:58,559
I didn't make that up.
>> Well, it's the 27th we were having.

261
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:01,039
» Oh, so we're the fourth. I had my I have
my calendar wrong here. I recorded the

262
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:05,600
wrong day.
>> The 27th is the 4th, right? If you want

263
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:07,520
to bump it up to the 20th, we can.
>> Yeah.

264
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:10,960
» Yeah. [clears throat]
>> The same.

265
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:14,720
» I did already. I don't know.
>> This already

266
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:19,360
good for everyone.
>> It's already on my calendar.

267
00:20:17,039 --> 00:20:23,919
» Uh, we'll just keep six o'clock.
Actually, I I don't want to go back to

268
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:27,799
6:30 since moving forward is going to be
at 6.

269
00:20:24,799 --> 00:20:27,799
» Good.

270
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:35,640
» All right. All right. So, just resolve
you're going to have a meeting November

271
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:35,640
20th at 6 p.m. if needed.

272
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,640
» December

273
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,840
18.

274
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:58,880
» Yeah. I mean, I who knows that's so far
out. There's so much going on that time

275
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,440
of year.
>> Yeah.

276
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:04,960
» I can't really
I mean I can say that I will be there

277
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,799
but
>> event for the 18th.

278
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,000
» Yeah.
>> Well, as we get closer we we can uh

279
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:13,559
» Yeah.
>> Yeah. Just races.

280
00:21:21,120 --> 00:21:25,440
» We need a motion. I move.
>> Yeah.

281
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:27,679
» Change.
I

282
00:21:26,159 --> 00:21:32,799
» Good. Thanks Mops.
>> One other thing is that um you know the

283
00:21:30,559 --> 00:21:38,640
planning board has the draft of the code
for the ability to zone code and

284
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,799
wondering when are we going to get a
copy of that so that we can look it over

285
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,640
and
>> you it's not the perview of the ZBA to

286
00:21:43,039 --> 00:21:49,919
to look at that. It's only planning
board. So once the code is adopted which

287
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:52,880
is going to be
>> wait

288
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:58,400
» yeah it's in the in the code book.
There's no ZBA for to look at at a new

289
00:21:55,600 --> 00:22:01,280
code. It's only in the purview of the uh
the petitioning of the planning board.

290
00:21:59,919 --> 00:22:03,440
» If you have zoning, you have to have a
ZBA.

291
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:08,400
» I'm not try I'm not trying to argue with
you. It's not in the code. Paul, if you

292
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:11,919
look in your code book,
>> you said,

293
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:18,120
» but even as a get if it's not in the
code book, as a courtesy to the ZBA in a

294
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:18,120
small village like

295
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:24,880
that's why I sent out links. I do
believe I send links to everyone but to

296
00:22:21,919 --> 00:22:28,880
take a look at it. The the digital
record is already up. You can just

297
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:33,240
Google village of Homer E360 and you can
look at the entire code. So

298
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:42,799
» kind of hard to believe that you pass
that without having some discussion with

299
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:48,360
the ZBA when ZBA is mandated to
adjudicate.

300
00:22:45,039 --> 00:22:48,360
Sounds hard.

301
00:22:49,919 --> 00:22:55,760
Well, there's public comments
session, isn't there?

302
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:58,320
» We've had many We've had like three
public hearings regarding the village

303
00:22:57,679 --> 00:23:01,440
code
>> since it's been multiple times. We just

304
00:23:01,120 --> 00:23:03,840
had
>> since it's been completed.

305
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,799
» Yeah.
>> Really?

306
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:09,280
» When was that? When was that?
There are village board trustees

307
00:23:08,159 --> 00:23:14,720
meetings
>> and we're going to have another public

308
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:21,200
hearing that's was advertised in the
