Public Comment:
Frank Enos voiced his concern about dogs leaving their messes in his
yard. He also feels that Bullis Park needs to be addressed on this matter.
Attorney Tony Villani entered the meeting at 7:35 P.M.
Councilman Paul Kenyon entered the meeting at 7:36 P.M.
Highway Superintendent Richard Roets entered the meeting at 7:37 P.M.
Gene Jackson of Quaker Road stated that he has been 12 years trying
to get the Morrison property cleaned up. He knows that DEC went in to clean
up but there are still trailers and a burned house that need to be taken
care of. Morrison went to court in October, so what is happening. Attorney
Villani was unsure of the current status on the case; he will check on
it. But having DEC manage the clean up of the property is very cost effective
to the Town and also much more complete and thorough.

Sharon Celentano of the Macedon Garden Club presented a drawing of
the proposed planting that she would like to do outside the library. The
Board approved her proposal.
David Morrison was asked to discuss the problems that he has with Alpco.
David stated that he feels some members of the Board have personal conflicts,
because they were on the Board at the time the permit process began. He
feels that by having the Department of State go over the Zoning Book this
would resolve any questions that he has about this matter. David Maul asked
who was affected by this Zoning conflict. David Morrison said everyone
is and presented a petition with several signatures from residents questioning
the Planning and Zoning policies of the Town. The Board asked David Morrison
to come up with a resolution for Alpco's permits in question.
RESOLUTION NO. 138 (01) REGIONAL BOARD OF REVIEW/ZONING
RESOLVED the Town Board refer the question of the propriety of Alpco
permits to the Regional Board of Review in accordance with Section 61-11B
of the Macedon Code Book/Fire Prevention & Building Construction.
MOTION BY KENYON, SECONDED BY MORRISON
Attorney Villani told the Board that the Review Board which David Morrison
was referring to was only for Fire Prevention and Building Construction,
not local ordinances. David Maul stated that in 1992 the Building and Zoning
officer acted on direction of the Town Attorney and the Town Board under
the Grandfathering Clause. Per the Code Book Section 61-13 any appeal should
be made within 60 days of such action. This is well over the Statute of
Limitations. Paul Kenyon moved that the Resolution be tabled until Mr.
Morrison finds out if the Regional Review Board has jurisdiction over this
matter-then bring it back up for a vote. Mr. Morrison did not want to table
and Mr. Kenyon withdrew his motion to table Resolution 138 (01).
