RESOLUTIONS RESOLUTION TO APPROVE AMENDED M-TNUTES �ON NO. 232 Introduced by Mr. Daniel MorreZZ who moved for its adoption, seconded y arZes Eisenhart: RESOLVED, that the Town Board Minutes of May 25, 1982 be amended as follows: 1. add the statement that the tapes of the public hearing and traiscriptt-are available to the public 2. noted;statement be placed in the minutes that due to the changes already made on the map regarding ten acres in the Tuthill Area some residents did not make public statements because the changes were already mmde on the Zoning Map. be it further RESOLVED, that the amended minutes of May 25, 1982 be and hereby are approved. .._ Duty adopted b y the folZowing vote: Ayes: Mr. Olson, Dr. Eisenhart, Mr. Morrell, Mrs. Monahan, Mrs. Walter Noes: None Absent: None DISCUSSION HELD-MINUTES- Mrs. Betty Monahan - I noted, that one thing that I thought was Zeft out, that was rather important, that when the people from the Tuthill, Cormus Road Area came, remarks were made to them why are you taking this tact when on the map it is ten acresa I think that" that is a ZittZe misleading and I think that the fact there is no note in the minutes. has a bearing on it because there were people in the audiences I believe„who were going to get-up and say what they thought, but after they had been toZd,"here is the map, it has been zoned ten acree”they did not feel it was necessary, so I think that note should be in there. I also think, it should be noted that in case of any further research on this zoning ordinances that all the ideas are not stated in here,, either in the public hearing part or in the discussion of the Board that follows Zater, and I think 'perhaps a note should be made that if anyone is really researching this`they need to go to the tapes not just to the minutes. Supervisor Walter- I have requested that the public hearing tapes be kept as a permdnent record . . . Mrs. Betty Monahan- I think that this should be noted as an addendum to these minutes so that someone reading the minutes will realize that they are reading a condensed version of what happened, _--- - ---_ ___ -- _ __ Supervisor Walter- I do not know whether you want it part of the minutes, but in the minute book you could make a notation that the tapes are available. Mrs. Betty Monahan- and the tapes do contain information that are not in the minutes. Town Clerk- asked for clarification of Mrs. Monahan first amendment to the minutes. . . Mrs. Betty Monahan-When the people were here from Tuthill, Cormue,if you remember right, and they were getting up and expressing some of their thoughts, several times the comment was made to them, it did you check the new map before you came in, because here it is., ten acres more or less ;.so some people who were in the audience ., who were going to get up and express their interest in having the ten aeree, did not feel it necessary, and I think perhaps that this should be noted. Town Clerk- requested that during public hearings only,o* person speak at a time. . . suggested that the public hearing in regard to the zoning be written verbatim. . . Supervisor Walter- requested that a notation be made in the minute book;;that a transcript of the public hearing and the tapes are available to the pubZic. . .
