Dave Philippone's Updates regarding Town matters

We had a town board meeting last night. Agenda items 1-4 and 6-17 were approved. Please see my prior post of the agenda. Item #5 was pulled from the agenda. We had two additional items. One involved authorizing the Supervisor to sign the contract with the SPCa and the other involved the reimbursement for the Street Scape project requiring a signature to a prior document. Of note the master parks plan was approved by UNANIMOUS vote. I raised a concern with regard to an item noted for a 12/6/11 ZBA agenda pertaining to 2757 Lyons Road. The applicant is seeking a special use permit to operate an Internet based firearms sales business. I had learned of the application on 11/21/11 but did not have the specifics of what use was being requested until last night when the hard copy of the application appears with my mail. It was my position since the application revealed any state and federal agency approvals to run such a business had not been obtained, it would be my suggestion the town not proceed with a use variance request until the applicant demonstrates the needed permits have been issued. The ZBA chair took swift action this morning and the matter has been pulled from the 12/6/11 agenda. If you live near Lyons Road you should pay close attention to the agenda for the ZBA in the coming months should you wish to be heard at a public hearing on this application. I have informed Eric Hammerle, the first ward councilor-elect, of this matter so it is on his radar as well.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Dave
