A proposal was made to send a letter to the Town
Board that the PB would like a letter sent to the County Clerk that their
office not accept any future subdivision requests without a certified approval
from the Varick Planning Board. This is part of the required process for
subdivision approval in the town. Bill will make a draft and forward to the
rest of the PB for review. We hope to get this to the TB before their next
meeting.

We were informed by Bob Hayssen that the TB has

us to accompany her on a tour of the depot if necessary to help her with ideas.
The PB also looks forward to reviewing any proposals that may come from this.
