1970-10-01 SP objectionable. Councilman Demboski stated the deletion of dis-
tribution plants, extraction of stone, sand and gravel, and
freight terminals from the list of uses permitted in an M-1
zone. Councilman Austin stated that he could not support the
resolution no matter what you add or subtract. He said he did
not often disagree with the recommendations of the planning
boards, but in this case, it seems we are proceeding on a
course that is going to catch up with us. He pointed out that
light manufacturing and research are terms that cover many
enterprises. He said the board ' s policy on similar cases in
the past has been to require more specific information before
acting. Councilman Robillard said he felt this is zoning for
speculation and he wanted no part of it. He said he wanted to
know what the industry looked like before he said okay. Super-
visor Solomon said he tended to go along but pointed out the
difficulty in getting industries to locate in New York State.
He said he personally felt we have enough control through our
Town Board and he didn' t think any industry we discouraged
would want to come in. Councilman Demboski said he saw nothing
speculative in the action. Under zoning, he said , the assumption
is that some areas are more conducive than others to light manu-
facturing. Councilman Austin argued that since the area was
originally zoned residential, it is the function of the Town
Board to examine what has been done in the light of changed
circumstances or proposals of a specific nature. Councilman
Robillard said he did not want to discourage industry but I
don' t want to discourage taxpayers either. He said people in
the residential area have a right to know what is going on.
Max Schenk, a resident of the Big Boom area, declared that the
Northway was a hindrance rather than an asset to the site be-
cause there was no access to the interstate highway at that
point.
