Public Hearings:
Public Hearing to review the following Text Amendments to the Code of the Town of Clay:
Local Law Number 1 of 2010. The purpose of this amendment is to create a new zoning district,
which accommodates both residential and support services to persons who are age 62 and above.
Chairman Lepkowski opened the public hearing. Chairman Lepkowski asked the board for input on the proposed zoning district.
Karen Guinup said that she likes the idea , she said we can use a zone like this, this is a simplified version of going through the PDD process. Karen also suggested they change the minimum age to 60.
Chairman Lepkowski commented he thought there were these types of communities in the south.
The Chairman asked if anyone had any comments, there were none, he closed the public hearing.
Karen Guniup made a recommendation to the Town Board stating that this is a great idea. She also said that the Committee did a wonderful job on the proposal. Karen also stated it would be okay if the age was lowered to 60.
Russ Mitchell said that he did not think a special zone was needed because it can be accomplished through the current PDD zoning laws. If it went through, he would want the age to be lowered to 55.
Motion Passed 4-1
