Mr. Noble also reported to the Board of the reconstruction being done on Back West Creek Road. Code Officer James Douglas addressed the Town Board requesting to have the Planning Board review our existing Site Plan Review law to determine its usefulness. Since there is no Zoning Law here in Candor he feels this process would not stand up to challenge and takes more time for permits to be issued. Mr. Douglas also stated the Weltonville Fire Department was issued a permit today. Mr. Douglas received a letter from NYSDEC regarding the National Flood Insurance Program. Mr. Douglas informed the Board that he received the kennel equipment and it will be kept in the Town Truck.

Closing Privilege of the floor: Mr. Robert Aman addressed the Board giving descriptions of how deep the Marcellus is and the distance between the drilling pads. Closing Privilege of the floor: Ms. Carrie Kerr shared her thoughts on gas drilling. She feels it’s the Governments job to protect its citizens and feels the Town Board has failed to do their job.

Lindsay to come out of Executive Session at 9:30pm. M-68 Clm. Bish moved, seconded by clm. Lindsay to adjourn the regular meeting at 9:31pm.
