APPROVAL OF MINUTES
The minutes of the meeting of January 12, 1972 were
presented and on motion duly made and seconded, ap-
proved as submitted.
OLD BUSINESS - "PERMITTED SPECIAL USE"
The Planning Board had at a prior meeting decided
not to make any recommendations for any changes in
the "Permitted Special Use" category but Mr. John-
ston, the Town Attorney, had requested the Board
to reconsider and review their decision. Mr. John-
ston requested the Board to submit their recommen-
dations so that a Public Hearing could be held to
decide whether or not changes would be acceptable.
The Board discussed a letter that Mr. Eggers, the
Chairman of the Zoning Board had written to Mrs.
Helwig, the Supervisor, on March 21, 1969. Attached
to Mr. Eggers' letter was a copy of minutes from
a Special Meeting of the Zoning Board of Appeals
held on April 4, 1965 in the residence of Mr. Sid-
ney Bierman. The Chairman read over the letter and
attachment and the Board decided that any of the
recommendations made in the letter and minutes were
not relevant to the "Permitted Special Use" category
presently under discussion.
The Board discussed and reconsidered several possi-
bilities for amending the Special Use regulations
of the Zoning Ordinance that had been suggested by
Mr. Mercurio in his study dated July 21, 1971. The
Board decided that if they enlarge the list of Per-
mitted Uses it would have to be extremely long and
may not generally cover new uses.
After further discussion Mr. Mercurio offered to
prepare a suggested amendment to the Zoning Ordinance
stating that Special Uses are those of a special
nature that pose special problems in regard to park-
ing and vehicular access; location and nature of
building and landscape; impact upon neighboring dis-
tricts and public health and safety.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before this
meeting it was adjourned at 9:00 P.M.
