The Dutchess County Department of Planning has reviewed the subject referral
within the framework of General Municipal Law (Article 12B, Sections 239-1 and
239-m). The Department has considered the proposed activity in the context of
countywide and intermunicipal factors and finds that the Board's decision in
this case primarily involves a matter of local concern.
The Department, therefore, recommends that the decision be based upon a local
study of the facts.
The Dutchess County Department of Planning does not presume to base its
recommendation on the legalities or illegalities of the facts or procedures
enumerated in the subject zoning action.
