OLD BUSINESS:

    None conducted at this meeting.

NEW BUSINESS:

    Ordinance # 01-2012 designating all Town Highways within the Town of New Haven as Class “B” Highways  was  approved  and  adopted  with a motion made by Seiler/Watson. M/C.  A resolution to establish a fee schedule and a permit to issue will follow at another meeting.  The Town Board reviewed two side x side Certified Survey Maps of the former Lake Mason Northshore Condo that has since been platted out to a 6 lots from the previous 28 lot condo plat.  The CSM’s were slightly different from what was presented last summer being that the lake front accesses had been made more uniform.  Variances have been granted for the lots that originally required 100 feet of frontage.  The two CSM’s were used to avoid a State requirement to add a public boat landing.  The landing would have required a dedicated access road from the water to a Town road, which isn’t possible because currently access to this property is through an easement.  The project does have a common boat landing and pier for residents use.  The current mound sanitary system will be removed and a new system will be installed on the north end of the project.  These two new CSM’s will dissolve the 28 unit condominium plat.  Motion  by Watson/Seiler to approve the new CSM’s for the 6 lots off Golden Avenue on the north side of Lake Mason.  M/C.  County Board representative Licitar noted that he had received some information from Planning & Zoning that the property on Golden Ct. doing business as Haddon Hollow previously thought to require a Conditional  Use  Permit  may no longer need be as it could possibly be considered a “legal non-conforming use.” The Municipal Attorney had been contacted the day of this meeting requesting an explanation of this possible change, but Mr. McLaughlin was out of the office and Attorney Wood could not reach him.  Previously the Haddons had lost an appeal process due to the fact that P&Z required them to acquire a CUP.  The P&Z committee is contemplating a site visit to the Haddon property on February 1, 2012 and then will return to Friendship where this item is on their agenda.  Neighboring property owners were present at this meeting questioning this CUP  and the latest information.  Depending as to when the Municipal Attorney can reach the P&Z administrator, these concerns will remain unanswered.

      The vouchers for payment were read by the Clerk, with the check for Thome Enterprises for snow removal on the day after this meeting being written on Saturday, January 21, 2012 approved by Seiler/Watson.  M/C.  This meeting was adjourned at 8:10 p.m. until Thursday, February 16, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. with a motion being made by Seiler/Watson.  An Audit of the Town’s financial records was conducted by the Town Board prior to this meeting, all the Clerk & Treasurer  balances  were found to be in accordance with bank statements to the best of their knowledge.
