REGULAR BOARD MEETING
JULY 21, 1993
TOWN HALL
7:30 P.M.
Donna Bloom, 7810 Back Creek Road: I have to apologize to the
Dake's because I understand where you want to make a living on your
own property. We moved to this location last year in May thinking
we were safe. We have three young girls ages two to nine. The
noise factor hasn't been a real factor in my case as I work and am
not home during most of the day. What concerns me is the safety of
the trucks going up and down Back Creek Road. I am opposed to this
rezoning.
A motion was made by Supervisor Kennedy and seconded by Councilman
Wittmeyer to close the Public Hearing on the Rezoning of the Dake
property at 7825 Back Creek Road at 8:37 P.M.
five (5) Ayes Carried
Supervisor Kennedy commented that he feels very strongly that the
area should remain residential and is of mind to vote against the
rezoning application.
Councilraan Wittmeyer coraraented that he is Chairman of the Traffic
Safety Committee and has worked with the Back Creek people for a
number of years and understands the safety awareness of the people
who live there. Personally he could not vote for a .rezoning to put
a piece of commercial property in this residential area. There
might be other ways that Mr. Dake can continue his operation with
sorae type of variance, but to rezone he could not vote for a
rezoning.
Councilman Zimmerman commented that he would like to echo
Councilraan Wittmeyer comments and at this time could not vote for
a rezoning.
A motion was made by Supervisor Kennedy and seconded by Councilman
Wittmeyer to deny the application for the rezoning of the Dake
property at 7825 Back Reek Road from Single-Family Residential
District (R'-2) to Industrial Park Research and Development District
(M-1).

REQUESTS FROM THE FLOOR
Carried
Ronald Yormick, 6405 Deanna Drive: I would like some information
regarding the northwest spur of Deanna Drive. I would like to knov/
if that is a town highway or not?
Supervisor Kennedy: There will be some v/ritten correspondence read
into the agenda at a later time. At that time we will discuss that
particular aspect also.
Code Enforcement Officer Dennis Kramer: I have been asked for an
update from the people of Lower East Hill Road as to the status of
the road.
Supervisor Kennedy: When I spoke with representatives downtown
they indicated that Frontier Asphalt was the low bidder on that
contract. Frontier Asphalt is not a union contractor. They were
substantially below the second lowest bidder. In fact, almost a
quarter of a million dollars or better lower than the second
bidder. There were some oraissions in their bid documents and so
the second lowest bidder challenged Frontier Asphalt in the court.
The Judge ruled on that challenge and said that the Commissioner of
Highways of the County of Erie has the right to grant the bid to
Frontier, if it felt it was in the best interest of the county and
the best interest of the county's taxpayers if he did in fact
provide the documents. Mr. Gugino has been trying to get in touch
with Legislator Fitzpatrick. Mr. Fitzpatrick is the chairman of
the Economic Development Committee in the County Legislature and
before that can go to a full vote of the County Legislators, it has
