Public comments on agenda items: Supervisor Thomas Wood stated prior to anyone speaking
he wanted to clarify something. He's
observed, in some instances, that there is a lack of understanding and some
misinformation that is floating around out there, and some of it is totally
untrue and false. In particular, he was
talking about one of the resolutions on this evening's agenda, authorizing the
Town Attorney to draft an amendment for the zoning ordinance. The Town consistently looks at and reviews the
zoning ordinances. It's not once in a
while. It's not, as alleged, that there's
some personal interest in something that would benefit someone on this Board or
someone in this town. It is not for
anyone's personal interest. We do things
on the basis of the entire Town and we've done so consistently over the years; it
is not just a once in a lifetime. Since
2003, when he became Supervisor for the Town, each year they have adjusted the
zoning regulations on an as needed, as required basis. The Board has reviewed the ordinances and
worked with the Planning Board, the Zoning Board of Appeals and the Zoning
Officer, to identify areas where there seems to be a need for some modification
of the regulations. He said they've
established a Joint Board, whose members identify and work on adjustments
needed within our zoning regulations. The
Joint Board brings those suggested amendments to the Town Board and the Town Board
works with the Attorney and when needed and where needed, they make the
appropriate adjustments. A brief history
with our Mixed Uses: Initial
conversation of mixed uses began in 2015, this isn't something that has just
jumped up. At that time, they amended
the zoning ordinance and made the preliminary changes. In retrospect, there are a couple of changes
that should have been in as suggested by the Joint Board, such as identifying
the districts in which the mixed use is appropriate, but as that was neglected
then, we are clarifying it now. No new
uses are being added, only stating the districts in which they are
allowed. These will be considered by
application to the Planning Board. If a
property can support a mixed use and has the required acreage and resources, it
is this Board's feeling that it is reasonable and appropriate. There may be situations where there isn't the
required land and resources and it's not appropriate. That is a bit of introduction of what the
Board will be considering to have the Town Attorney draft in law, to allow the
Mixed Use in the Rural, Rural Residential, Hamlet, Conservancy and Lake
Commercial Districts only.
Councilman Charles Hanehan
stated Supervisor Thomas Wood did a great job explaining this but left out a
couple things. One is any law the Town
Board decides to change gets publicly advertised in the paper. The Town Board holds a Public Hearing, where
we take into account public comments before making any decisions. It is required by law and we always follow
the law.
Supervisor Thomas Wood
reiterated that this proposed resolution simply authorizes the Town Attorney to
write a draft law. At next month's
meeting, if the resolution passes this evening, we will advertise for and
conduct a Public Hearing on Mixed Use and subject to comments and the Board's
opinion, the Board may act on it or not.
Zoning Officer Gil Albert
stated the Boards been working on Mixed Use for years. The Joint Board, Planning Board, Zoning Board
and himself, over the years, have worked on making improvements for the
community at large. That's what it's all
about, making it better for the community.
They've been working on the Mixed Use law for years. In 2015, for some reason, the districts were
left out in the definition. They've
always had the intent and the desire has always been to allow mixed use in
those districts.
Supervisor Thomas Wood stated
allegations that this Board or any Board or any individual in the Town of
Saratoga is 'lining their pockets' or receiving some economic benefit through
some of these improvements to our regulations, is so ridiculously insane it's
pathetic. Anyone that knows the members
of the Town Board, members of our Planning Board, members of our Zoning Board
of Appeals, one of the things they know for sure, is that they are a group of
committed people. They aren't just
committed now, they are committed and have been committed to this Town for
years. Most of them, if not lifelong
residents, have lived in this Town for many years and this is their home and
they want this Town to reflect their values and desires. That is what these governmental Boards are
trying to do. And they are doing a fine
job.
Zoning Officer Gil Albert
added that people need to keep in mind that Planning and Zoning members are
appointed by the Town Board, but they are all volunteers and don't get paid a
dime. They take the time to help make
this Town better and look out for the Town 100%. He added that we have three of the best
Boards in the area and we want to keep them.
Supervisor Thomas Wood asked
if there were any further comments from the Board; there were none. He then asked Planning Chairman Ian Murray if
he'd like to speak.
Chairman Ian Murray stated he
wanted to correct one thing from when Supervisor Thomas Wood spoke earlier, and
that is he does not believe it was misinformation, it's just fake news. And that's all it is, fake news. He has a bit of a different take on
this. The old multiple use law has been
around since 1981, amended in 1983 and if you read that language, it fits
exactly the purpose that we've done all along since his tenure, before his
tenure, on the Board. They've developed
a skill set with members of the Planning Board and Zoning Board with the law in
2015, and the law was done to strengthen and improve the case on that; it was
proposed to the Town Board, it was legally advertised, a Public Hearing was
held and the law was passed. In his eyes
this is a matter of administrative change, not a legislative change.
Supervisor Thomas Wood stated
he appreciated those words. He then
asked if there was anyone who wished to address the Board, if so to please stand, state
their name and address and limit their comments to three minutes in the
interest of time. No one wished to
speak.
Planning
Chairman Ian Murray stated going back to the proposal earlier by Martina Zobel,
she came before the Planning Board and they gave her a lot of information and
told her she'd have to pursue a PUD with the Town Board. One of the things he wanted to highlight is
that Saratoga Springs is way behind on this affordable housing and have only
taken it up over the past 3 - 4 years. As
a matter of fact, Saratoga Springs went to the Supreme Court to deny affordable
housing, especially at the Exit 14 parcel - behind Stewarts down to Exit 14. Now they're kind of picking it back up and
it's unfortunate that we are have to bear some of the burden for possibly Saratoga
Springs residents, bringing their not for profit projects into the Town, and
we're going to get no taxes for it.
Also, you cannot bring potable water into an agricultural district,
that's for Farmland Protection for Ag District #1 there, and also think about
the proposal in Victory for 160 affordable units at the old mill, which is a
substantial number of affordable housing for the Town.
