Prior to the start of the meeting, Philip DiNonno, Chairman of the Planning
Board was recognized by the Board, and he wished to discuss the Triton
Project with the Board. He went on to explain that Triton Cartridge has come
before the Planning Board with an application for a site plan and special use
permit for an ammunition manufacturing facility and an indoor/outdoor
shooting range. A Public Hearing was held a week ago, and many residents
came out opposed to the project. Mr. DiNonno is looking for some guidance
from the Town Board on this matter. Supervisor Smith went on to explain
that this is really a Planning Board jurisdiction. However, we also know that
the Town Board is going to hear all the backlash if we don't do what is right.
Safety was one of the main concerns. Discussion followed.
At this time, 7:53 p.m. SUPERVISOR SMITH moved to go into Executive
Session to confer with counsel on this matter.

Motion Unanimously Carried
The Town Board reconvened at 9:20 p.m. with all Board Members present.
SUPERVISOR SMITH announced that the board discussed Shamrock
Subdivision at Executive Session. She informed Mr. O'Donnell, the Board
be the Mr. O'Donnell
will adopting a resolution at next meeting. said
eighteen months was the target date when he would need municipal water,

followed.
COUNCILMAN RUGGIERO moved to authorize Attorney to the Town, Al
Roberts, to investigate the legality of putting an easement in conservation
property off Nicole Drive and send report back to Town Board, and Engineer
to Town.
Seconded by Mr. Paoloni
Motion Unanimously Carried
SUPERVISOR SMITH announced that Shamrock Subdivision would be put
on another workshop for further discussion.
Next is OAKWOOD KNOLLS. Engineer to the Town, Jay Paggi reported
that the Oakwood Knolls Sewer Treatment Plant was currently being used
for the most part, as town storage and a very small part as housing for
Sewer #1 apparatus. If we assume the value of the building is $13,000, and
100% of the building is being used for storage by the town, the cost to each
resident to repay the $13,000 would be approximately 1 and 72 cents per
thousand of assessed value. The average house is assessed for $100,000 and
the reimbursement for each resident would be about $6.40. That would be
without administrative charges. The net each resident in the sewer
improvement would be a one time shot of $4.80 minus administrative
charges. That would be around a $1.18 per year. Another way of looking at it
would be to lease the building to the town for $200 per month. This equates
to approximately $1.18 B.U. lease rental to each benefit unit in the sewer
district per year.
Because of the late hour, Supervisor Smith felt the remainder of the agenda
be moved to another night.
COUNCILMAN RUGGIERO moved to complete the remainder of the agenda
on another night.
