Next on the agenda was discussion on the Comprehensive Plan but Trustee John Caren asked if we could have the engineer’s report prior to this so that the engineer could leave. The Mayor agreed. Dave Putnam checked on the 12/20/98-tank overflow reported at the December meeting. In addition to this overflow the tank had overflowed on several other occasions in November and December due to telemetry problems. Bolton Point reported the 12/20/98 event was only coming out of the overflow pipe. The plumbing modifications have corrected the manner in which the tank will overflow. Bolton Point believes they have properly adjusted the telemetry equipment to end the overflow condition. The telemetry equipment is a telephone system that tells the valve to open. The next topic was the Sheraton Drive Sidewalk Project. Dave would like to advertise for bids in March; accept bids on April 14^th for recommendations at the April 19^th Board meeting provided that the necessary easements and land acquisitions are in place by late March.

At 7:50 discussion began on the Comprehensive Plan. The Mayor stated that on February 1,1999 he would like to have the plan approved and do the long form SEQR. John Caren, Ned Hickey and Steve Halevy went through the suggested changes they received from Rita Smidt and Sorel Gottfried and incorporated some of the changes into the Plan. Doris Brown stated that the Planning Board formally recommended the Comprehensive Plan as revised subject to the Planning Board’s further review of any further changes. John understood that after Ned took these changes back to the Planning Board, he was having Carol incorporate them into the Comprehensive Plan, however, the Trustees were not given a copy of the Comprehensive Plan with these changes in them. Jodi copied a sheet listing the changes made but the Board wanted to have a copy of Draft 5 with all the changes incorporated. John felt to try and struggle through this without the revised copy would be very frustrating. Randy felt the Planning Board already had the revised version. The Mayor will contact Carol and have her incorporate the changes and get it to all the Trustees by the end of the week. Audrey stated that Sorel got in touch with her to get an update. John stated that we have made some significant changes. Ned felt strongly on the theme not to ignore development, and that development should be allowed in compliance with the zoning law. We want to manage development. Doris Brown commented that the language was hard to come up with. She felt a thriving business is one thing and a failing is another. We support commercial business, keeping the current businesses in a thriving way. Audrey was concerned because there seemed to be a wide difference between Sorel’s and the actual changes. John stated that they didn’t eliminate paragraphs we changed words and one would need to see these changes before making a judgment.

Cliff asked of the relevance of the map on page 20. There is no text to go along with it and he feels that we should move all maps to an appendix. The Mayor agreed to have the maps moved. Don said that we should remember that the Comprehensive Plan is an executive summary of our zoning and planning. He asked the Trustees to look over the long form SEQR before our next meeting so that we could get through it expediently. John Caren asked Doris to thank the Planning Board on behalf of the Board for all their hard work on the Comprehensive Plan.

Randy researched the Board requested regarding the vacancy, which will occur on the Board of Trustees when Audrey leaves February 2^nd. The Mayor has authority to fill the position until Audrey’s term is up at the end of April 1999. Then the position will then be filled at the election.
