COOPERSTOWN PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING July 2007 Meeting called to order by Chrm Angoli at 7:00 pm July 9, 2007 at Town Hall. Roll call: Present--Chairman Bill Angoli, Secretary Dave Blakeslee, Ross Johnson, Pam Kouba, Fred Lemens (4) Citizens in attendance Pledge of Allegiance Public Hearing called to order to review zoning request from James Renier on parcel ID No. 0030200800100, a 20 acre A3 property to natural area (NA) so he can build a 20x40 storage bldg. No person(s) present in opposition of petition. Mr. & Mrs. Renier present in favor along with Pat Bradley. One written letter received in favor. Property presently enrolled in Forest Crop program. Renier’s have an 18ft deeded ROW off Cooperstown Rd Discussion: Commission members wondered as to the appropriateness of NA or better to zone C1. C1 allows for possibility of seasonal cottages be built on 1/2 acre lots. NA allows for possibility of one residential home on 20 acre lot. Chrm. Angoli called to question the requirements of the standard of procedure. Whether the commission may change a petition request without proper notice to the public of those changes. Changing from NA to C1 may require all new public hearing. Public Hearing closed at 7:35 pm Commission went through the Review Questionnaire Form. Discussion: F. Lemens indicated NA is closer to A3 designation with all 20 acres under one zoning. B. Angoli wondered if any need to rezone from A3, since Renier’s are farming over 35 acres. R. Johnson agreed but would look into at County Planning for a interpretation. D. Blakeslee would prefer a possibility of 1 house on 20 acres NA, over 40 seasonal cottages on 1/2 acre C1.
