Discussion:
The Town Board’s suggestions to the Planning Board’s proposed changes to Site Review Law regarding waste water treatment systems were reviewed. Board disagrees with the suggested deletions, as they felt many situations require discretion, and this proposal would be making the law more strict than that of Oneida County. The Draft will be sent to the Town Attorney for review and recommendations.
Adjourn Meeting: Next meeting scheduled for April 10, 2024
