Special PB Meeting  6/4/2013

Meeting opened at 5:05 pm. Members present: Linda M, Hershey S, Todd H,
and Barry S.

Todd expressed the need of the Romulus and Varick Planning Boards to
request extra help in regard to rezoning areas of the old Seneca Army Depot. We
need more expertise in the zoning and planning of said area to make sure we
have an unbiased source of aid in doing a proper job of any rezoning of the depot.
However, we want to make sure that this remains under the jurisdiction of both
Planning Boards and is not a plan that we are required to adopt. We will have
the final authority in any plans to rezone areas of the depot. It will be our
plan, not that of an outside agency.

The following resolution was proposed by Barry Somerville, seconded by
Hershey Sensinig and approved: We request that the Varick Planning Board be
authorized to pursue any necessary support from an outside consultant with
expertise in zoning and planning to help develop a plan for rezoning the depot
area. This proposal will allow Varick Planning Board and said consultant to
work jointly with Romulus Planning Board in the same activity.

Two such consultants were set forward (Stuart & Brown and
Peter  J. Smith) but others may be
considered.

The PB would also like as much funding as possible through grants or
other sources (federal, army, etc.) to offset costs for consulting fees.

Motion for adjournment made by Hershey at 5:45, seconded by Todd.

Sincerely submitted,

Barry Somerville, secretary
