Public Hearing to amend Chapter 305, Zoning, Section 305-134.E. Additional Material to be Submitted
The Planning Board has been requesting additional information of applicants, specifically in relation to waivers and variances and the reason why these are needed and why it is in the best interest of the Village to grant the waiver or variance. This law would codify what is already occurring.
-
Public Hearing – Affordable Housing
The Village Board adopted a law to address the development of affordable housing, using the model ordinance from Westchester County as the foundation for the law. Included in the law was a provision that allowed developers to purchase units in existing buildings and placing deed restrictions on the units to assure affordability as opposed to developing new affordable housing. This law further defines those particular units.
-
Public Hearing – Building Construction to Incorporate the International Energy Conservation Code
The Village Board is considering a request from the Planning Board to adopt the International Energy Code, which is a stricter energy code than is presently being utilized throughout NYS. The State allows municipalities to adopt stricter codes than the State code in regards to energy efficiency. The state expects to adopt this code by the end of 2014.

Purging Outstanding Parking Tickets
The auditors have noted that there are a large amount of old outstanding tickets which are uncollectible. Purging the tickets just means that the amount is no longer on our “books”. It does not mean that the tickets are forgiven. The Village is provided a disc of the purged tickets and when people come to pay their tickets or other fines, the Village will check to see if there are any tickets in the purged file.
-
Handicapped Parking Space – Lower Main Street
The Board will be acting to create a handicapped parking space that was requested in an area where there are no spaces.
-
Parking – South Broadway, West Elizabeth Street
The Board acted a few months ago to create parking restrictions to accommodate the nursery school at Christ Church. However, the parking restrictions created a problem for the church so this change addresses the needs of both the nursery school and the church.
