PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE LED BY-Town Clerk Donald A. Chase
PRESS: W WSC
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Supervisor Walter-The purpose of the meeting today, is that hopefully the Town Board
will pass a resolution that we can look for some state aid through the Adirondack Park
Agency in developing a Land Use Program. The aid would be used in our Planning and
Zoning Office to help defray costs. There would be $1500.00 for the Warren County
Planning Department, in their assistance to the Town as far as the land use regulations
are concerned. This is the first time that such aid has been available and we have no
idea whether we will get the dollars we are asking for. We are hopeful, because they
are modest figures. We are a town that has only a percentage of our land within the
Agency.
Councilman Eisenhart- Does this have to be restricted to the areas of the Adirondack
Park?
Supervisor Walter-I would think that it should be. Any zoning that we would do on a
Town wide basis would include that.
Councilman Eisenhart-To whom do we account to?
Supervisor Walter- APA
