PROPOSED NEW POLICE STATION AND COURT
Mr. Robert Crozier, the Architect, presented the
Board with a preliminary plan for the proposed new
Police Station and Court on Weaver Street and Pal-
mer Avenue. The application is for a Special Permit
and had been referred to the Planning Board for their
recommendations.
The Architect pointed out that the entrance on Weaver
Street would be used by the police coming and going
to work and the entrance on Palmer Avenue would be
used by the general public which would alleviate
some of the contemplated traffic on Weaver Street
which has the narrower and shorter sight distance.
The Chairman stated that he was gratified to see
on the plan that the building was set back but was
concerned about the loss of the turn around found
on early schematics. Mr. Crozier pointed out that
they still intended to provide a turn around on the
final plans.
The Architect discussed the possibility of the traf-
fic lights being controlled in an emergency from
the police desk. The problem of drainage was raised
by the Chairman. It was pointed outthat presently
the surface drainage is going down to the railroad
tracks and eventually finds its way to the ground
surface on Nancy Lane. The Board requested that
Mr. Crozier provide underground drainage directing
all the water to the system under Palmer Avenue.
The Board, also, recommended that a planted buffer
strip be provided between the present Town property
and the adjacent residential area.

After further discussion the Board decided that the
preliminary plan was acceptable and would recommend
the Town Board grant a Special Permit for the Pro-
posed Police Station and Court.
