[00:12:02]
[00:12:02]
GO[00:12:03]
CALL THIS ORDER.WE HAVE A LIGHT AGENDA FOR THE WORST SESSION TODAY, AND WE START WITH THE PRESENTATION FROM MR. RILEY.
SO ONE OF THE THINGS I WAS JUST REPORTING ON, WE HAVE, UH, HAVE PACKAGES FOR EVERYBODY.
UM, FIRST OF ALL, UH, WE HAVE A BUNCH OF, A COUPLE RESOLUTIONS.
THE MIXED NEW ZONING ONE WILL BE TABLED UNTIL YOUR NEXT MEETING ON ADVICE FROM LEGAL COUNSEL.
THERE WERE SOME MINOR MODIFICATIONS MADE BY, UH, BY SEVERAL.
SO WE HAVE TO LAY IT ON THE TABLE FOR, FOR A LITTLE BIT OF TIME BEFORE WE ACTUALLY ADOPT THE REVISED LAW.
SO, UM, THAT'S THE FIRST REPORTING ITEM.
THE OTHER PUD AMENDMENT COULD BE ADOPTED.
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, UH, WE HAVE A RESOLUTION IN, ON A ADVICE OF LEGAL COUNSEL AND THERE CORRECT DATE WE SHOULD HAVE NOTED.
SO THERE'S AN AMENDED RESOLUTION, JUST NOTING THE FACT THAT IT'S A TYPE ONE ACTION UNDER SEEKER.
THE REST OF THE RESOLUTION STAYS THE SAME.
UM, SO WHEN THAT RESOLUTION IS PASSED TONIGHT, I GAVE COUNCILWOMAN FARRELL A COPY OF THE COMP PLAN.
I WILL GIVE THE TOWN CLERK THREE COPIES OF THE COMP PLAN, AND THEN ON WEDNESDAY MORNING, I WILL SEND THE NEW CONFERENCE PLAN, UH, TO, UH, THE IT DEPARTMENT TO PUT ON THE TOWN'S WEBSITE FOR PEOPLE TO VIEW.
SO THE THREE COPIES OF THE TOWN CLERK'S OFFICE, WHETHER YOU WANNA PUT ONE IN SOME OTHER OFFICE, THE PLANNING OFFICE OR WHATEVER, JUST IN CASE SOMEONE SHOWS THE TOWN HALL WANTS TO PHYSICALLY LOOK AT IT.
SO I THANK THE BOARD FOR THAT.
I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO, UH, THE ADOPTION OF THE CONFERENCE PLAN, AND HOPEFULLY YOU'LL BE PLEASED.
WE'VE ADDED SOME VISUALS AND OTHER THINGS, HAVEN'T CHANGED THE CONTENT OF IT, BUT ADDED SOME VISUALS.
UH, AS I'VE TOLD YOU, THE PROCESSES, WE'RE GONNA BE HOLDING A PUBLIC HEARING AT YOUR NEXT MEETING.
THE EXPECTATIONS ARE THEN AFTER THAT PUBLIC MEETING AND OUR 30 DAY SEEKER PROCESS WHERE WE GET COMMENTS FROM AGENCIES AND THE COUNTY AND WHATEVER WE, THE TOWN BOARD, I WOULD SUGGEST THE TOWN BOARD AND THE COMMITTEE HAVE ONE JOINT MEETING TO TALK ABOUT BASED UPON THE COMMENTS RECEIVED.
DO WE WANNA MAKE ANY REVISIONS TO THE PLAN? I'VE BEEN DOING CONFERENCE PLANS FOR 40 YEARS.
THERE WILL BE SOME REVISIONS, RIGHT? I CAN TELL THE PUBLIC YOU'VE COME TO THE MEETING AND YOU GIVE YOUR COMMENTS AND THE AGENCIES GIVE THEIR COMMENTS.
IF IT NEEDS TWEAKING HERE AND THERE, WE WILL TWEAK IT.
WE'RE NOT GONNA CHANGE THE VISION OF THE PLAN.
THE VISION OF THE PLAN HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED OVER THE LAST TWO AND A HALF YEARS, BUT WE CAN MAKE TWEAKS TO THE PLAN AND SAY, HEY, THIS IS CONFUSING, OR THIS NEEDS TO BE BETTER ARTICULATED, ET CETERA.
I KNOW THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF QUESTIONS BECAUSE THE PLAN HAS A LOT OF RECOMMENDATIONS, HUNDREDS OF RECOMMENDATIONS.
[00:15:01]
SO THERE COULD BE A TWEAK HERE AND THERE TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S THE TOWN HAS THE PROPER DIRECTION.SO IS THAT SOMETHING THEN WE COULD PUT, UM, ON THE AGENDA FOR THE WORK SESSION AS THE 12? WELL, THAT'S WHAT I, I'M ASKING YOU GUYS SET UP.
WHETHER IT'S A SPECIAL NIGHT, WHETHER IT'S A WORK SESSION NIGHT, I HAVE TO LET, WE'LL WORK WITH A SUPERVISOR'S OFFICE AND MICHELLE, WE'LL HAVE TO SET UP A MEETING, BE SO THAT WE CAN INVITE THE CONFERENCE PLAN COMMITTEE, ANYBODY AND SIT AND TALK ABOUT IT OPENLY IN FRONT OF THE PUBLIC THAT THESE ARE THE COMMENTS WE RECEIVED.
AND DO WE WANNA MAKE PROVISIONS TO IT? OKAY.
UM, WITH REGARDS TO THE CONFERENCE PLAN, AS YOU KNOW, CONFERENCE PLAN IS A LIVING DOCUMENT.
I THINK I MENTIONED AT THE LAST MEETING, I WORKED FOR ONE TOWN THAT BASICALLY SAID, WELL, WE HAVE TO CHANGE ALL THE ZONINGS BEFORE WE ADOPT THE CONFERENCE PLAN.
'CAUSE ZONING MUST BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH CONFERENCE PLANS.
MY EXPERIENCE AND TALKING AND WORKING WITH HUNDREDS OF PLANNERS IS THE FACT YOU BEGIN THAT PROCESS SLOWLY.
YOU CAN'T HAVE, YOU CAN'T HAVE ALL THE ZONING CHANGED BY THE TIME YOU ADOPT IT, BUT YOU CAN START THAT.
SO, AS YOU KNOW, WE STARTED THINGS LIKE THE MIXED USE ZONING.
UH, WHAT'S IN YOUR PACKET TOO IS SOME OTHER THINGS THAT WE'VE BEGUN.
THERE'S A WHOLE BUNCH OF INDUSTRIAL PROPERTIES THAT ARE MIS ZONED IN THE TOWN.
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CALLS FROM THE CHANGE.
YOU HAVE A COPY OF THAT, A MOST RECENT COPY OF THAT IN YOUR FILE THERE.
I'M GONNA LAY THAT ON THE TABLE AT YOUR NEXT MEETING, BUT I WANT YOU TO SEE A COPY AHEAD OF TIME.
THERE ARE THE CAMP ROAD INTERCHANGE DISTRICT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON FOR OVER A YEAR.
REMEMBER THERE'S PROPERTY ZONE FROM WHERE THE THROUGHWAY, UH, GOT RID OF THE LOOP THERE.
WE HAVE TO AT LEAST REZONE THAT PROPERTY TO SOME ZONING DISTRICT.
'CAUSE WHEN THEY GO FOR SALE IN THE SPRING, THERE'S GOTTA BE ZONING ON THE PROPERTY TO GIVE DIRECTION TO THE PEOPLE WHO WILL PURCHASE THAT PROPERTY.
UM, WE HAVE TALKED TO THE ADJOINING PROPERTY OWNERS.
AS I REPORTED IN MY MEMO, ONE ADJOINING PROPERTY OWNER WAS NOT INTERESTED IN THEIR PROPERTY BEING REZONED TO THE NEW DISTRICT.
AND THE OTHER ONE HAD SOME INTEREST.
THEY HAD SOME CONCERNS OVER IT AND WANTED TO LOOK INTO THAT.
UM, SO I HAVE A CAMP ROAD INTERCHANGE DISTRICT.
YOU'LL SEE IN THERE, I HAVE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS IN THERE ABOUT, ARE THERE OTHER THINGS YOU WANT TO CONSIDER WHEN YOU CREATE THIS DISTRICT? IT'S NOT A DONE DISTRICT.
SO PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND ENVISION WHAT YOU THINK BASED UPON WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT AREA IN THE CONFERENCE PLAN.
WHAT WE SEE THERE, A GOOD RESOURCE FOR THAT IS YOU, YOU DID A JOINT STUDY WITH THE VILLAGE OF HAMBURG, AND IT ACTUALLY, THE GATEWAY PLAN WENT OUT TO THAT CAMP ROW INTERCHANGE AND CAME UP WITH SOME NEAT IDEAS FOR HOW THAT AREA COULD BE REDEVELOPED.
SO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT AND MAKE SURE I'VE ARTICULATED THAT CORRECTLY IN THAT DRAFT ZONING LAW.
THE OTHER TWO ZONING LAWS I CREATED, WHICH ARE VERY IMPORTANT AS PART OF THE GRANT FOR ERIE COUNTY, REMEMBER WE INCLUDED EXTRA AGRICULTURAL STUFF IN OUR COMP PLAN.
BUT THE OTHER PART OF THE GRANT IS THAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY ADOPT ZONING TO IMPLEMENT THAT AGRICULTURAL PROTECTION.
SO IN YOUR, IN YOUR FILE THERE TONIGHT, THERE'S A WHOLE BUNCH OF 'EM IN THERE.
IF YOU LOOK THROUGH THEM, THERE'S TWO THINGS.
THERE'S AN AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT.
WE'RE GONNA CREATE A NEW AGRICULTURAL ZONING DISTRICT, LIKE AN R ONE DISTRICT OR COMMERCIAL DISTRICT, AND YOU'LL REZONE PROPERTIES TO THAT AGRICULTURAL ZONING DISTRICT.
THOSE PEOPLE THAT ARE FARMERS OR FARMERS TO BE OR OR WE'VE IDENTIFIED, HAS TO GO THROUGH A REZONING PROCESS.
THERE IS ALSO ON TOP OF THAT, AN AGRICULTURAL AND OPEN SPACE OVERLAY DISTRICT THAT WILL TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THIS, WHAT WE CALL THE SOUTH CENTRAL PART OF HAMBURG.
'CAUSE A, WE'RE TRYING TO NOT ONLY PROTECT AGRICULTURE, ENCOURAGE AGRICULTURE, WE'RE ALSO TRYING TO PROTECT OPEN SPACE AND THE RURAL CHARACTER OF THAT AREA.
SO WE'RE WE'RE SUGGESTING AN OVERLAP.
THE COUNTY HAD SOME QUESTIONS ON THAT, BUT THEY LIKED THE IDEA THAT IT WASN'T JUST AN AG DISTRICT WHERE ONLY CERTAIN PROPERTIES RE ZONE, BUT THE WHOLE AREA BE CONSIDERED.
THE RECOMMENDATION FROM THE COUNTY, AND I'M GONNA TALK TO 'EM ABOUT IT, I GOT IT THE OTHER DAY, IS THAT THE WHOLE SOUTHERN PART OF THE TOWN HAD THIS OVERLAY.
AND I SAID, NO, THE LAKEVIEW AREA IS GONNA HAVE ITS OWN OVER OVERLAY.
'CAUSE IT HAS VERY DIFFERENT PROBLEMS. LAKEVIEW HAS 3000 NEW HOMES.
IT'S VERY DIFFERENT THAN SOUTH CENTRAL HAMBURG.
WE WANNA SAY NO MORE SUBDIVISIONS, THINGS LIKE THAT.
AND THEN THE SOUTHEASTERN PART OF THE, OF HAMBRICK HAS ITS OWN UNIQUE ISSUES ABOUT, ABOUT SCENIC VIEW, SHEDS, CONNECTIONS TO THE VILLAGE, ET CETERA.
SO WE WANNA DO THREE SEPARATE OVERLAYS, WHICH IT USED TO BE IN THE PAST, AND WE'RE TRYING TO GO BACK TO THAT BECAUSE OF THE AGRICULTURAL COMPONENTS SPLITTING THE CENTER PART DIFFERENT.
UH, SO THOSE ARE THE THINGS I'M ASKING YOU TO TAKE A LOOK AT AS WE CONTINUE AND PLEASE TOWN BOARD IN YOUR NEW COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THERE'S A SECTION OF THAT GOES ON FOR A PAGE AND A HALF OF OUR IDEAS THAT SHOULD BE DONE IN THE FIRST YEAR OR TWO.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CHAMPION SOME OF THOSE THINGS THAT YOU'RE PASSIONATE ABOUT, PLEASE BEGIN THOSE THINGS AND WHATEVER.
A LOT OF THOSE THINGS CAN BE ASSIGNED TO OTHER PEOPLE.
IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY TO COME THROUGH ME, IT CAN GO THROUGH OTHER PEOPLE, BUT THERE ARE THINGS THAT YOU'RE VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT.
PLEASE TAKE CARE OF THOSE THINGS AND BEGIN TO SET IT UP FOR NEXT YEAR.
ONE OF THE BIG THINGS YOU HAVE TO DO, STARTING GROUND ONE AND JA JANUARY, IF YOU ADOPT THIS PLAN FORM A FORM, AN IMPLEMENTATION
[00:20:01]
COMMITTEE.IT COULD BE THE SAME COMMITTEE OR IT COULD BE NEW PEOPLE, BUT YOU GOTTA HAVE SOMEONE THAT IS WORKING ON THIS ON A WEEKLY AND DAILY BASIS AND THEN SUBCOMMITTEES AND WHATEVER.
SO THAT IS MY PRESENTATION FOR TONIGHT.
UM, I ALSO HAD, UH, FOR THE SUPERVISOR, AND AGAIN, BECAUSE IT'LL HAVE TO BE SIGNED IN JANUARY, I DO HAVE, UM, MY DRAFT IDEAS FOR MY CONTRACT FOR THE NEW YEAR BASED UPON WHAT I KNOW, THE CONVERSATIONS, WHAT I'VE SEEN, THE BUDGET I'VE HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW, THE DRAFT CHANGES FROM LAST YEAR, IT'S PRETTY MUCH THE SAME BECAUSE YOU'VE KEPT THE SAME BUDGET.
I DO HAVE SOME OTHER, UH, UH, THINGS IN THERE ABOUT ASSISTING IN WHATEVER ANOTHER WAY.
SO CROSS OUT WHAT YOU DON'T WANT, LET ME KNOW.
BUT I DO, THE BUDGET WAS THE SAME.
SO BASICALLY I, I OFFERED THE SAME SERVICES IN A LITTLE MORE CREATIVE WAY.
AND BY THE WAY, THERE'S ONE OTHER THING IN YOUR PACKET AT THE BACK OF THE END OF THE PACKET, I FORGOT ABOUT IT.
REMIND ME OF THAT BECAUSE YOU'RE GONNA GO THROUGH A CHANGE NEXT YEAR.
I'VE TOLD THE SUPERVISOR AND I STARTED SENDING HIM OVER THE YEARS OF WORKING HERE FOR 28 YEARS, I'VE CREATED A LOT OF FORMS AND CHECKLISTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT WHEN I TRAINED OTHER PEOPLE IN THE PAST.
SO PLEASE WORK WITH SARAH AND MYSELF BECAUSE YOU'RE GONNA HAVE SOMEBODY NEW IN THE OFFICE AND GET THEM THINGS THAT THEY CAN USE SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO LEARN ON THEIR OWN.
THERE SHOULD BE, UM, I WORKED FOR 12 DIFFERENT MUNICIPALITIES.
IF I DID NOT HAVE CHECKLISTS AND PROCESSES IN PLACE THAT I COULD LOOK AT, I WOULD, I WOULD GO CRAZY.
I WORKED WITH THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT A FEW YEARS AGO AND WE PUT UP A REZONING CHECKLIST AND I, CINDY ALWAYS USE IT.
WHO'S TAKING CARE OF ALL THESE THINGS THAT HAVE TO BE DONE DURING THAT? SO SAME THING FOR THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT.
I STARTED PUTTING SOME THINGS IN THERE TO SHOW YOU THAT THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT NEED TO BE HANDED TO THAT, THAT PERSON AND SAY, HEY, THERE ARE GUIDELINES, THERE ARE FILES, THERE ARE WAYS TO BEGIN AND LEARN HOW THE PROCESSES AND ALL THE THINGS ARE REQUIRED.
AS LISA KNOWS AND EVERYBODY KNOWS, PROCEDURE IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST THING WHEN IT COMES TO PLANNING AND, AND PROJECTS AND ZONING PROJECTS.
IF YOU MAKE MISTAKES AND PROCEDURES, I MEAN, THE PLANNING BOARD HAS TO DEAL WITH THE DIFFICULT ISSUES OF APPROVING STUFF.
BUT IF YOU DON'T FOLLOW PROCEDURES AND FOLLOW THE RULES THAT ARE ON THE BOOKS, YOU'LL BE IN BIG TROUBLE EVERY TIME.
YOU GOTTA FOLLOW THOSE PROCEDURES.
SO THE CAMP ROAD INTERCHANGE, INTERCHANGE, INTERCHANGE, DISTRICT INTERCHANGE.
WE NEED A ZONING DISTRICT FURTHER, RIGHT? COUPLE QUESTIONS.
ONE IS, DOES IT MAKE SENSE FOR US TO MAKE THOSE CHANGES BEFORE WE FINALIZE THE COMP PLAN? OR DOES IT MAKE MORE SENSE FOR US TO WAIT UNTIL THE COMP PLAN IS COMPLETED AND USE THAT AS GUIDANCE? RIGHT.
WELL, THE COMP PLAN IS 99.9% COMPLETED.
UM, WE SHOULD BEGIN TO, LIKE I SAID, IMPLEMENT THOSE THINGS IN THERE BECAUSE SOME OF THEM ARE PRIORITY ITEMS. THE PRIOR ITEM WAS, AND THAT'S WHY WE TARGETED IN THE COMP PLAN, WAS YOU HAVE THE SALE OF THAT PROPERTY OCCURRING VERY SHORTLY.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE A ZONING FOR THAT PROPERTY.
YOU CAN'T SELL UN ZONE PROPERTY.
WHOEVER BOUGHT IT WOULD SAY, WELL, WHAT AM I DOING WITH THIS? IT'S UN ZONED.
SO THE MINIMUM THING YOU NEED TO DO IS SET UP THE DISTRICT.
THE OTHER MINIMUM THING WE NEED TO DO IS CHANGE THE PROPERTY THAT'S UN ZONED TO THAT NEW DISTRICT.
AND THEN HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET SOME OF THE ADJOINING PROPERTY OWNERS TO AGREE WITH THAT.
BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK AT THE PLAN AND THERE WAS A, A PLAN ADOPTED AND, AND, UH, THAT GATEWAY PLAN SHOWED WHAT THEY BELIEVE THE DEVELOPMENT SHOULD, THAT SHOULD BE FOR THAT AREA.
SO WE HAVE A PHYSICAL PLAN THAT KIND OF SHOWS HOW IT SHOULD BE DEVELOPED.
AND I'M TRYING TO SET UP A ZONING THAT WOULD ALLOW THAT PHYSICAL PLAN TO BE DEVELOPED.
AND BECAUSE IT'S OFF THE THROUGHWAY IN THE THROUGHWAY AUTHORITY HAS, I WOULD IMAGINE SOME AUTHORITY IN THAT AREA.
RIGHT? DO THEY HAVE A SAY IN THAT? SHOULD BE, YES.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO, ONCE YOU START THAT PROCESS, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO REFER TO THE THROUGHWAY AUTHORITY AND THE DOT, ANYTHING THAT GOES IN, I'VE BEEN IN THIS BUSINESS FOR A LONG TIME.
ANYTHING THAT GOES ANYWHERE NEAR A THROUGHWAY INTERCHANGE OR WHATEVER, THE THROUGHWAY AUTHORITY AND THE DOT WILL WANT SOME INPUT ON THAT BECAUSE IT WILL AFFECT THE PATTERNS OF TRAFFIC AFFECTING HOW THAT INTER THAT NEW INTERSECTION WORKS.
I'M DEALING WITH ZONING IN THAT AREA, BUT THEY'LL WANNA SEE WHAT ARE THE TYPE OF ZONING THAT YOU, I MEAN OBVIOUSLY YOU WANNA TRY TO AVOID TRAFFIC PROBLEMS AND THE TYPE OF OF USE THAT WERE IN AND OUT USE.
THERE'S ALSO GONNA COMMENT ON, AND YOU MAY HAVE TO PUT THAT IN THE ZONING WHERE YOU WOULD LIMIT ACCESS.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE THROUGHWAY AUTHORITY HAS DONE WHEN THEY PULLED THAT OUT OF THERE.
A LOT OF TIMES THEY'LL HAVE LIMITED ACCESS SECTION AND BASICALLY SAY, YOU CANNOT HAVE AN ACCESS TO THE THROUGHWAY IN THIS LOCATION.
I KNOW WE DEALT WITH THAT ISSUE WHEN WE HAD A PROPOSED PROJECT.
SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE BEEN AROUND YEARS AND YEARS AGO, THEY PROPOSED A PROJECT RIGHT ACROSS FROM THE MILE STRIP INTERSECTION WHERE THE, WHERE IT COMES IN THERE LIKE VACANT PROPERTY RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM IT.
AND THAT WAS THE BIGGEST ISSUE ABOUT CONTROLLING THE ACCESS.
THEY SAID THE ONLY PLACE YOU COULD HAVE ACCESS WOULD BE, YOU KNOW, 400 OR 500 FEET IN THIS DIRECTION OR THAT DIRECTION.
AND THAT'S WHEN WE BEGIN, BEGIN THAT PROCESS.
IF THERE'S GONNA BE LIMITATIONS THAT WE NEED TO PUT IN THAT OVER IN THAT ZONING DISTRICT, SAY, OH, BY THE WAY, YOU CANNOT ACCESS
[00:25:01]
THE HIGHWAY.SO MY RECOGNITION IS IF THAT SALE IS THIS COMING SPRING, WE'RE THINKING, UH, WE, YOU KNOW, TO, TO GO THROUGH THAT WHOLE PROCESS TO MAKE SURE IT'S GONNA TAKE THREE MONTHS, RIGHT? IT'S GONNA TAKE AT LEAST THREE MONTHS.
SO WE NEED TO START IT SOON, NOT TOMORROW, BUT IN THE NEXT NEXT COUPLE MEETINGS, WE SHOULD START THAT AND GET ALL THAT INPUT FROM ALL THOSE A ALL THOSE AGENCIES AND THE ADJOINING PROPERTY OWNERS I THINK ARE GONNA HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT IT.
BUT, YOU KNOW, ALWAYS WHEN YOU AFFECT PEOPLE'S PROPERTY, YOU'RE GONNA GET QUESTIONS ABOUT IT.
AND MY LA OR I GOT TWO OTHER QUESTIONS.
ONE IS ON THE, UH, THAT THE SAME, UH, THOUGHT, RIGHT? BUT WE, WE SHIFT OVER TO, UH, E CCC SOUTH AND THE STADIUM.
AND WHAT'S HAPPENING THERE, AGAIN, IS THAT SOMETHING WE IMMEDIATELY LOOK AT AFTER THE PLAN IS DONE? UH, NO.
MATTER OF FACT, THE SUPERVISOR AND OTHERS THAT BEGUN THAT CONVERSATION WITH THE COUNTY AND THE NEW STATE AGENCY, YOU NEED TO LOOK AT THAT FROM A, SIMPLY, FROM A ZONING STANDPOINT, FIRST OF ALL, UM, AS I'VE POINTED OUT IN THE COMP PLAN OR WHATEVER, YOU GOT ECC AND ALL THE PROPERTIES AROUND THERE ARE ALL ZONED R THREE PROBABLY NOT AN AREA WHERE WE WANT R THREE DEVELOPMENT IN THE TOWN.
PUTTING APARTMENTS IN WHATEVER NEXT TO A, A STADIUM OF SUCH.
UM, YOU KNOW, SO YOU SHOULD TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.
AND I'VE SUGGESTED, AND I'VE READ IN THE PAPER THAT ORCHARD PARK AND HAMBURG SHOULD PROBABLY GET TOGETHER AND TALK ABOUT LAND USE AND OTHER PATTERNS IN THAT AREA AND TALK TO THE STATE AGENCY.
I, I'VE GONE ON RECORD BEFORE.
I REALLY THINK THAT THERE SHOULD BE A, A PLAN WITH THE STATE AGENCY AS PART OF THAT, OF WHAT'S GONNA GO ON, ON THE STADIUM ITSELF AND AROUND THAT, ESPECIALLY THE ECC CAMPUS AND OTHER, AND THE AREA JUST ADJOINING THE STADIUM.
SO, UM, I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT SHOULD, AND WE'VE ALREADY STARTED THAT THOSE CONVERSATIONS HAVE OCCURRED ABOUT, FIRST OF ALL, ABOUT THE SEEKER THAT'S OCCURRING RIGHT NOW, THE ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW PROCESS AND WHATEVER, MAKING SURE WE'RE COMMENTING ON THAT FROM A TRAFFIC STANDPOINT AND ALL THOSE OTHER THINGS.
UM, BUT ALSO, UH, THE HOST COMMUNITY HOST BENEFIT AGREEMENT HOST COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS THAT ARE BEING TALKED ABOUT.
AND THEN THIRDLY, MOST IMPORTANT IS THE LAND USE PATTERNS THAT ARE GONNA OCCUR IN THAT AREA.
I MEAN, LOOK, IT'S WHAT'S HAPPENED.
I REALIZE PEOPLE SAY, WELL, THE STADIUM'S BEEN THERE FOR HOW MANY YEARS? WELL, BUT THIS IS A NEW STADIUM COMING AND IT'S GONNA ATTRACT A LOT MORE TENSION.
I MEAN, SOMEONE SAID IT SHOULD BE ZONED FOR, FOR, UH, MOTEL HOTELS AND WHATEVER THERE.
WELL, LET'S, LET'S PUT A PLAN TOGETHER THAT MAKES SENSE AND THAT WILL WORK ECONOMICALLY TOO.
I ALWAYS SAID THAT, I HATE TO BRING IT UP WHEN I SAY PATRIOT'S PLACE, WHAT THEY DID AROUND THE PATRIOT STADIUM AND OTHER STADIUMS LIKE THAT IN THE RECENT, WHAT THEY'VE DONE AROUND.
SOMEBODY NEEDS TO CHAMPION THAT ISSUE AND GO FORWARD WITH THAT.
WHAT WE SUGGEST IN THE PLAN, WHAT I'VE SEEN WORK WITH CONFERENCE PLAN IS GET CHAMPIONS ON THE TOWN BOARD, GET GOOD PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THE PROJECTS AND MOVE FORWARD WITH THOSE THINGS.
YOU KNOW, YOU NEED THAT, THAT, THAT'S UNFORTUNATE.
PEOPLE THINK IT COMES FROM THE GROUND UP.
IT COMES FROM YOU GUYS GIVING DIRECTIONS SAYING I WANT THIS DONE AND GETTING THE RIGHT PEOPLE INVOLVED AND STUFF.
SO TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE THINGS.
I'M SURE A LOT OF THINGS THAT YOU EACH INDIVIDUALLY ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT.
THERE'S A WHOLE BUNCH OF FIRST YEAR ITEMS THAT WE NEED, PASSIONATE PEOPLE DOING THINGS ABOUT TO MAKE CHANGES IN THE TOWN.
AND IN TERMS OF THE, UH, COMMITTEE YOU MENTIONED AFTER THE PLANS IN PLACE, RIGHT? I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA.
IT'S WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT WHEN WE, UM, HAD THE PLAN THAT THE BIGGEST CRITICISM OF THE LAST PLAN WAS THE LACK OF FOLLOW THROUGH.
RIGHT? UM, SO MY QUESTION IS, IN YOUR EXPERIENCE, WHAT DO YOU FEEL IS THE BEST WAY FOR US TO GO ABOUT THAT? IS IT, IS IT ALL A VOLUNTEER COMMITTEE? IS IT A, A, A PAID, UH, POSITION? WHAT, WHAT TYPE, WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? YEAH, IT'S, IT'S A COMBINATION OF SUCH.
IT'S, IT STARTS FROM UP HIGH AND WORKS DOWN INTO THE C LIKE I SAID, HOW IT WORKS IS YOU HAVE ONE OVERARCHING COMMITTEE THAT'S RESPONSIBLE FOR REPORTING TO THE TOWN BOARD ABOUT WHAT'S BEING DONE THIS YEAR, WHAT'S BEING DONE NEXT YEAR, WHAT FUNDING THEY NEED, WHAT WORKED WELL, WHAT DID NOT WORK WELL.
THEN AS I SAID, THE LAST MEETING, THE NATIONAL AWARD FOR COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING THIS YEAR WAS FOR ABOUT IMPLEMENTATION.
AND I'VE SAID THAT FROM DAY ONE, TO HAVE A BEAUTIFUL LOOKING PLAN MEANS NOTHING UNLESS YOU'RE GONNA IMPLEMENT IT AND HAVE THE PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES WHICH YOU SET UP AND MAKE SURE THAT HAPPENS.
SO YES, FORMING A COMMITTEE, SUBCOMMITTEES INTERNAL PEOPLE AND EXTERNAL PEOPLE GET PEOPLE INVOLVED THAT HAVE EXPERTISES IN CERTAIN THINGS THAT WANNA VOLUNTEER TO THE COMMUNITY.
YOU KNOW, AGRICULTURAL PEOPLE THAT PEOPLE WHO WANNA VOLUNTEER GET THEM INVOLVED.
BUT AGAIN, WE KNOW, YOU KNOW, PE PEOPLE ON THE GROUND, PEOPLE WORKING DAILY IN IN TOWN GOVERNMENT KNOW HOW TO GET THINGS DONE.
IF YOU JUST HAVE A COMMITTEE OF PEOPLE THAT ARE OUTSIDE VERY DIFFICULT, THEY JUST DON'T KNOW HOW THINGS GET DONE.
SO I'M TRYING TO GET A COPY OF THAT PLAN, EVEN THOUGH I'M VERY HAPPY ABOUT THAT.
I'LL GET A COPY OF THAT PLAN TO SEE IF THERE ARE OTHER TOOLS OUT THERE.
I'VE SUGGESTED THOSE TOOLS IN THERE, BUT ARE THERE OTHER WAYS OF ACCOMPLISHING IT? BUT VERY GOOD POINT.
I MEAN, IT'S GONNA BE KEY TO YOUR SUCCESS REPORTING TOO.
MAKING IT A LIVE DOCUMENT, YOU KNOW, MAKING SURE THAT YOU'RE SAYING, HEY, THIS IS NOT WORKING
[00:30:01]
HERE.SOME OF THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS ARE HAVING THE FACT THAT TWO YEARS FROM NOW THE PLAN COULD HAVE MINOR AMENDMENTS TO IT.
EVERY TIME YOU ADOPT A STUDY, WHEN YOU FINISH YOUR DRAINAGE STUDY UPEND TO YOUR CONFERENCE OF PLAN, UM, YOU KNOW YOU CAN DO THAT BY LOCAL LAW.
WE NOW ARE APPENDING THE GATEWAY STUDIES OFFICIALLY BEING APPENDED.
YOUR REC AND PARK PLAN IS OFFICIALLY BEING APPENDED AND YOUR IMPEDIMENTS TO FAIR HOUSING IS OFFICIALLY BEING APPEND APPENDED TO THE CONFERENCE PLAN, BECOMES PART OF THE CONFERENCE PLAN.
WHEN YOU ASK FORWARD TO PARKS CONFERENCE PLAN, THERE'S A CONFERENCE PLAN AND ABOUT 20 OTHER STUDIES THAT COME WITH IT.
AND THEN SOME OF THOSE STUDIES MAY FORCE SOME MINOR CHANGES IN YOUR COMP PLAN.
KEEP IT ACTIVE, THEN YOU DON'T HAVE TO HIRE ANYBODY.
YOU GUYS MAKE THE SMALL CHANGES TO IT.
DO A PUBLIC HEARING, MAKE THAT PART OF YOUR COMP PLAN.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I'M GLAD TO SEE YOU'RE EXCITED ABOUT IT.
'CAUSE LIKE I SAID, NO SENSE DOING IT IF YOU'RE NOT GONNA IMPLEMENT IT.
DO YOU NEED ME TO STAY TONIGHT NOW THAT THE RESOLUTION, YOU'RE GONNA PASS THE RESOLUTION FOR COMP, STARTING THE COMP PLAN PROCESS AND YOU'RE GONNA ADOPT THE PUD AMENDMENT, BUT WE'RE PULLING THE MIXED JUICE.
DO YOU NEED ME? THERE'S NOTHING, I THINK THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE ON TONIGHT.
SO, UM, I HAVE A COUPLE, UH, ITEMS I JUST WANTED TO DISCUSS.
WE DO HAVE RESOLUTION NUMBER SIX, UH, IS SLATED AS AN ADOPTION FOR THE 2023 BUDGET.
AND, UH, IN REVIEWING THAT, UH, WE MADE A MISTAKE IN THOSE DOCUMENTS AND COMPLETELY ELIMINATED WENDELL'S CONTRACT, WHICH I KNOW WE INDEPENDENT DO.
SO, UH, THIS AMENDMENT WILL ADJUST THAT, THAT ISSUE.
UM, I'LL BE OFFERING AN AMENDMENT THAT WILL, UH, INCREASE THE PERSONAL SERVICES FULL-TIME LINE FOR THAT PLANNER POSITION THAT WE DISCUSSED.
UM, ALSO CONSOLIDATE CONSULTANT FEE LINES TO 72,000, WHICH WE WANTED TO ADD AN EXTRA 10% IN CASE WE NEEDED HELP OR IN THE TRAIN IN JANUARY.
UH, THAT'S THE WENDELL CONTRACT.
AND THEN, UH, AN ADJUSTMENT TO AN INCREASE IN SOCIAL SECURITY COST DUE TO NEL LINE CHANGING.
THAT'S A DIFFERENCE OF $7,300 AND A DECREASE IN THE LINE FOR, UH, RETIREMENT COSTING TO OFFSET, UH, THOSE OTHER FINANCIAL CHANGES.
DID I CHARACTERIZE THAT APPROPRIATELY? YEAH, THAT'S EXACTLY IT.
HOW DOES THAT ADJUST ALL THE FINAL PERCENTAGES, STRINGS RIGHT THERE.
UM, AND THEN THE OTHER ONE, UH, THAT I'M PUTTING, THAT WE PUT ON THE AGENDA WAS, UH, I JUST WANNA TALK SINCE WE DO HAVE, UH, PAT RYAN HERE IS, UH, RESOLUTION.
THIS IS ON, UH, A ROOF AT THE D AND G SHOP.
UM, ADD ANYTHING THAT YOU'D LIKE TO SHARE WITH US ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THIS ROOF? IT, UM, BEEN LEAKING AND IT'S GETTING WORSE AND WORSE EVERY YEAR.
UM, IT'S THE ORIGINAL ROOF, WHICH WAS 1995, I BELIEVE, WENT OUT THERE.
SO WE'RE HAVING IN 30 YEARS, IT'S JUST, WE'VE GOTTA BE DONE FIGURE RIGHT.
WHILE AARON'S HOT, WE HAVE THE MONEY, WE HAVE THE FUNDS, UM, IT'S JUST GONNA CAUSE MORE PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY WITH THE GUT ALL THE TIME.
SO THE NEW ROOF WOULD REALLY, WE NEED WHAT TYPE OF NEW YOU'RE LOOKING AT.
I KNOW A FEW OF THE OTHER ROOFS YOU'VE REPLACED IN THE LAST FEW YEARS HAVE BEEN THE METAL ROOFS, LIKE AT THE, UH, UH, THE BEACH.
WHAT DO YOU OH, WELL THIS IS A FLAT ROOF, SO IT'S, IT'S THE RUBBER OVER THAT'S THE ONLY REAL OPTION THERE IS.
JUST TO GO WITH THE SAME THING AGAIN.
YEAH, IT'S, IT'S A COMMERCIAL GARAGE SO IT'S NOT A, IT'S NOT LIKE A BUILDING LIKE A TOWN PARK.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THAT? UM, ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING ELSE THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS DURING THE WORK SESSION? OKAY, AND I DON'T BELIEVE WE HAVE ANY ITEMS FOR EXECUTIVE SESSION THIS EVENING UNLESS I'M MISTAKEN.
THINK WE HAVE ANYTHING DISCUSS IN EXECUTIVE SESSION
[00:35:01]
THAT SOUNDS LIKE, YOU KNOW.SO, UH, STUDENTS THAT ARE HERE, GOOD NEWS, YOU PICKED, UH, UH, AN EASY NIGHT.
YOU'RE WELCOME TO STAY TILL SEVEN O'CLOCK IF YOU LIKE, BUT
WE'LL BE BACK AT SEVEN O'CLOCK.
WE HAVE A COUPLE OTHER FOLKS HERE.
UH, DID, DID YOU COME HERE TO ADDRESS THE BOARD AND ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR, IF POSSIBLE? SURE, YEAH.
I'M A FORMER TRUSTEE IN THE VILLAGE BLAZEDALE.
UM, I'M A RESIDENT OF BLAZEDALE.
I JUST HAD A QUESTION ABOUT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
UM, AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT CAN BE ADDRESSED HERE OR POSSIBLY I COULD SPEAK WITH IN THE FUTURE ABOUT IT.
THERE'S A NOTE, UM, THAT IT INCLUDES, UH, CHANGES FOR ZONING, UH, FOR ELECTRIFICATION AND BECOMING A ERTA SMART COMMUNITY.
AND I'M JUST WONDERING IF YOU COULD EXPAND ON THAT AND, UM, HOW THAT WOULD AFFECT POTENTIAL FOR WIND TURBINES IN WIND CARRY, IF THAT, IF ALL YOU WANT ANSWER THAT SURE HAS NO IMPACT ON THE WIND TURBINES IN.
MATTER OF FACT, THE TOWN IS ALSO DOING AN LWRP, A LOCAL WATERFRONT REVITALIZATION PLAN.
AND THE STATE OF NEW YORK INSISTS THAT YOU CANNOT TALK ABOUT TURBINES BECAUSE TURBINES IN THE LAKE ARE CONTROLLED BY THE STATES AND THE INTERNATIONAL AGENCIES, NO MATTER WHAT I SAY IN THE CONFINE OR WHATEVER, THE ELECTRIFICATION IN THIS, BOTH THE TOWNS, VILLAGES, EVERYBODY IN NEW YORK STATE SHOULD BE PREPARING FOR THE FACT THAT AS YOU KNOW, NEW YORK STATE IS GOING TO MORE AND MORE ELECTRICITY AND WE WENT THROUGH YEARS AGO WITH ELECTRICITY, NOW IT'S BACK TO ELECTRICITY AGAIN.
YOU SHOULD WORK WITH IER AND SAYING HOW YOU SHOULD PREPARE FOR THAT IF THAT'S COMING.
THE CHARGING STATIONS, ALL THOSE THINGS MATTER.
ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEMS ALL COMING, WHETHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT ON THE SIDE, THAT IS A CHANGE THAT'S COMING.
AND WE MENTIONED THE COMP PLANT, AS YOU PROBABLY SHOULD LOOK AT HOW ELECTRIFICATION IS GOING TO IMPACT THE TOWN OF HAMBURG.
BUT TO THE LAKE ERIE TURBINE THINGS, I WOULD WORK, WORK THROUGH YOUR LEGISLATORS BUDGET.
I'VE BEEN TOLD REPEATEDLY OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS THAT IT IS A STATE AND, AND THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT AND OTHER DECISION ON THAT.
AND THE STUDIES HAVE TO BE DONE.
LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES HAVE NO CONTROL OVER ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS IN THOSE, THE WATERS OF LAKE HERE.
UM, I DO HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT, UM, THE ACCESS THAT TO GET FROM PEOPLE'S PROPERTY INTO THE LAKE.
SO THEN WOULDN'T IT AFFECT OUR PROPERTY OWNERS HERE IN HAMPER THAT, THAT'S, THAT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION.
THAT ISSUE HAPPENED IN ANOTHER COMMUNITY I WORKED WITH WHERE THEY WERE TOLD THEY HAD NO CONTROL OVER WHAT HAPPENED IN THE LAKE.
BUT YOU DO HAVE CONTROL OVER WHAT HAPPENS ON THE TOWN SIDE, DEPENDS UPON HOW THAT PROJECT IS RUN.
THE PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT, YOU HAVE ALL THE POWERS IN THE WORLD TO CONTROL WHAT HAPPENS ON THE LAND SIDE OF BRINGING THINGS INTO THE, INTO THE TOWN OF AND OF HAMBURG.
IF IT'S A GOVERNMENT PRIVATE, THEY, THEY'RE A HIGHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY.
BUT I DON'T THINK THAT'S THE CASE, MY UNDERSTANDING.
SO YES, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE SOME CONTROL OVER WHAT HAPPENS FROM A, FROM A ZONING LEGISLATIVE APPROVAL STANDPOINT.
YOU WOULD HAVE TO PROVE THOSE LANDSIDE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WOULD OCCUR.
AND MATTER OF FACT, WE'VE EVEN TALKED ABOUT IF THERE WAS ANY NEEDS OF, OF MOVING, UH, COMPONENTS TO THE LAKE.
HOW WOULD THEY COME IN IF THEY CAME OVER THE LAND AND WOULD THE TOWNS HAVE HAVE THE ABILITY TO COMMENT ON THAT? YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU BRING TURBINES IN THE BLADES, YOU SOMETIMES HAVE TO DO A LOT OF WORK TO YOUR ROADS AND WHATEVER BE EVER EXPERIENCE THAT IN THE RURAL COMMUNITIES, THEY HAVE A LOT OF ISSUES WITH HAVING GOING IN.
SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WOULD'VE TO BE LOOKED AT THE LAND SIDE, YES, YOU HAVE CONTROL OVER WHAT HAPPENS ON THE LAND SIDE.
JUST TO ADD TO THAT, UH, THE CONSERVATION BOARD MEETS ONCE A MONTH AND IT'S BEEN DISCUSSED AT ALMOST EVERY MEETING FOR THE LAST, YOU KNOW, PROBABLY ONE TO THREE YEARS.
UH, SO IT'S DEFINITELY TOP OF MIND.
ALL OF THE DISCUSSIONS THAT WE'VE HAD OR THE CONSERVATION BOARD HAS LOOKED INTO, UNFORTUNATELY GIVES US LIMITED ABILITY IN TERMS OF THE ACTUAL, UM, USAGE AND LEGISLATION.
BUT WE'RE CERTAINLY AWARE OF THAT BEING A BIG ISSUE AND WE'RE TRYING TO CONTINUE TO FIND OUT WHAT WE CAN AS IT MOVES FORWARD, UH, IN TERMS OF PROTECTING, UH, YOU KNOW, HOMEOWNERS THAT MIGHT BE AFFECTED IN THE COMMUNITY AT, AT LARGE.
DO THE HOMEOWNERS HAVE A RIGHT TO SAY NO FOR ANY ACCESS? I, I COULD, I, I COULDN'T SAY YES OR NO, BUT I KNOW THAT THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO FIND OUT.
[00:40:01]
INTERESTING QUESTION.IN THE SOLAR PROJECTS THAT WERE LANDSIDE SOLAR PROJECTS, THOSE PROJECTS ALL DID NOT HAVE THE POWER OF
THEY HAD TO GET APPROVALS FROM ANY LANDOWNER, DO ANYTHING, EVEN BRINGING TRANSMISSION LINES AND WHATEVER.
SO AT THIS POINT, MY UNDERSTANDING, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT, IF IT'S A PROJECT RUN BY GOVERNMENT, THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR SOME ENTITY OR WHATEVER, THEY HAVE THE POWERS OF EVIDENCE DOMAIN PRIVATE DEVELOPER DOING WORK DOES NOT HAVE POWERS OF EVIDENCE.
THEY NEED APPROVAL OF THAT LANDOWNER, A LEASE AGREEMENT, BUY WHATEVER NEEDED TO DO LAND LANDSIDE IMPROVEMENTS.
AND AGAIN, WE'RE LEARNING AS MUCH AS YOU ARE ABOUT WHAT PROPOSED IN THE WAY HASN'T REALLY BEEN DONE IN NEW YORK STATE.
UM, WHILE WE DO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME, WE HAVE OUR HIGHWAY SUPERINTENDENT HERE.
ED, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING THAT YOU WANTED TO REPORT ON? UM, I JUST WANTED TO, UM, OUR, UM, COLORING CONTEST.
UM, I HAD MY GUYS AT WORK PICK OUT TWO WINNERS OF THE AGE GROUP, SO WE'LL BE POSTED THAT IN NEXT COUPLE DAYS.
WE HAD ALL ABOUT A HUNDRED AND 130, UH, ENTRY, SO IT WAS KIND OF NICE ALRIGHT.
AND UM, SOME OF THE SCHOOLS DID WANT TO DO IT AND THAT'S FINE.
BUT, UM, IT WAS JUST, THAT WAS JUST A FUN LITTLE PROJECT AND WE SIGNED AGAIN WITH UM, UM, THE ELECTRONIC SITE RECYCLING.
UM, WE FOUND OUT THAT AS OF NOVEMBER 1ST IT WAS FREE NOW BEFORE WE GOTTA PAY FOR IT, NOW IT'S FREE, SO I'LL BE OFFERED IT TWICE, ONE IN THE FALL, ONE IN THE SPRING.
SO WE SET, UH, WE SET ONE JUST BECAUSE, UH, WE'VE HAD A LOT OF, UH, PHONE CALLS ON THIS.
SO DECEMBER 3RD WE'RE GONNA DO ANOTHER ONE AT OUR SHOP.
IT WAS SATURDAY MORNING AGAIN, UM, IT WAS, WAS PRETTY, UH, NEW ENROLLMENT LAST TIME, SO I'M SURE, UH, THIS WILL BE PRETTY BUSY ALSO.
WE'RE JUST GETTING READY FOR THE WINTER, THAT'S ALL.
I HAVE A QUESTION ON THAT BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE LOOKING INTO IT.
DO PEOPLE ARE GONNA DO THE ELECTRONICS RECYCLING? DO THEY CONSIDER SOLAR PANELS, ELECTRONICS? IF NOT, THEY DON'T HAVE SOLAR.
