Dan Wolfe asked, are you going to advertise in the Pennysaver paper?

The Planning Board was all in agreement. Deputy Clerk Dawn Metty will set the Public Hearing for Tuesday July 1, 2014.

Chairman Donald Lamay thanked Harlan for coming in.

Chairman Donald Lamay spoke about the training coming up – if anyone would like to go, they can contact Dawn.

Dan Wolfe announced that Scott Peters was at the meeting. He lives on Botsford Lane.

Scott Peters – Would like to build a 1,000 to 1,100 sq. ft. cottage. Two pieces of properties were combined; there is already a cottage on there. Looking for options from the Board.

Dan Wolfe – What about accessary structures? Something to think about.

Ralph Smith – Single or 2 story?

Scott Peters – Single with loft.

Dan Wolfe – Would you separate the lot?

Scott Peters – It’s an option but would like to keep it the same.

Dan Wolfe – You would have to abide by all the regulations.

Chairman Donald Lamay – Let’s put this on the agenda for next month’s meeting.

Next Ralph Smith spoke briefly about the Park-way that runs from Lakeside Park to Rochester. It’s in very bad condition. It is a concern for travel and businesses. He is going to look further into it.
