(Res. #18-116) Marcel Falcon, Chairman of the Planning Board addressed the board stating that Melanie Shuster term is ending 12/31/18, and the Planning Board is in favor of her reappointment. Marcel also questioned the section of the Land Use Law that prohibits trailers older than 10 years old, which has been found unconstitutional. Attorney Mastromoro said that section of the law has been determined to be unconstitutional and the Code Enforcement Officer has been instructed to ignore it, it does not require the entire law to be rewritten. Marcel also questioned a prior resolution stating that if back taxes are owed on a parcel or property can a building permit be issued. Supervisor Stagliano said the Town does not have any delinquent taxes because the County guarantees all tax money to the Town. Marcel stated that now that the Cypress Creek Project is basically done, the Planning Board will take their classes. Discussion took place regarding the two applications for the Planning Board. Supervisor Stagliano said the Planning Board is a Part-Town expense and only people outside the Village pay into that fund, therefore, only rural residents should serve on the Town Planning Board.
