Putnam St. Zoning Change Hearing update.

According to the "Guide to Planning and Zoning Laws of New York" (2011) a change in Zoning is affected when the Board of Trustees of a Village, following a Public Hearing, votes to adopt a new Village Law.

I was not at the hearing, last evening, but I have received either E-mails or telephone calls from enough people to tell you what transpired.

At last night's Public Hearing one of the fifty or sixty people in attendance asked to see or hear the proposed new Village Law.  As it turned out, the Law was not available, the Trustees had not read the Law, and - in fact - such a Law had not yet been written.

Village Attorney William Getman then suspended the Hearing and the Village Board set May 4th as the date for a new "Public Hearing."
