GALWAY TOWN HALL

Supervisor Hargrave called the Public Hearing to order at 7:00 p.m. The following Town Board Members were present:

PRESENT: Supervisor George Hargrave Councilman Michael Tillson
Councilman William Topper Councilwoman Susan Sutch
Councilman George Weed

OTHER PRESENT: E. Ladu; S. Saltsman; P. Pribis; T. Cwiakala; D. Freer; Mr. & Mrs. Wands; R. Flinton; G. Cooper; J. Gordon; P. Wieland; S. Atkins; F. Schwab; D. Costanzo, Highway Superintendent & M. DeFoe, Town Clerk.

The clerk read the legal notice as placed in the Daily Gazette on November 19, 2007; November 26, 2007 & December 3, 2007 and posted at Town Hall; Library; Post Office & Bank. Proposed Local Law #3 of 2007, “Regulating the use of Residential Outdoor Solid Fuel Burning Furnaces within the Town of Galway”.

Supervisor Hargrave stated that the purpose of tonight’s public hearing was to get input from community on proposed regulations for Outdoor Furnaces.

Ed Ladu in support or proposed law. He has a camp in Hart’s section of Lake District. This area is affected badly by an Outdoor Furnace from a neighbor. Would like to see wording changed in Section 9 from “may” to “shall”. Steven Saltsman against Outdoor Furnaces completely and the law the way it is currently written. He feels the current law as written is not stringent enough to protect people who are currently having a problem, due to the grandfather clause. Went into discussion regarding his problem with neighbor in close proximity to his home being allowed to have Outdoor Furnace. Had pictures for Town Board of neighbor’s system in use and literature against these furnaces. Paul Pribis doesn’t have one of these furnaces, but feels that this law would be too stringent. He left a book for the Town Board to read by Mike Tidwell, a renowned advocate for the environment. In this book it addresses the inaccuracies of the data discussed previously, stating that these stoves are one of the solutions the public has to help stop global warming. Thomas Cwikala owner of an Outdoor Furnace, just here to listen to public comment regarding stoves. He has had no complaints regarding his stove and wanted to see what the public’s feeling was on them. Don Freer requested clarification on proposed law with reference to frontage which in his case is in Fulton County. Supervisor Hargrave took Mr. Freer’s telephone number and will have Building Administrator address this question. Mr. & Mrs. Wands owners of Outdoor Furnace advised Town Board that they do everything they can to keep smoke to a minimum. They start using Outdoor Furnace on Halloween night and turn it off on May 1^st. They don’t burn garbage, but have had DEC called on them several times along with State Troopers. Stove was installed in a location allowed by the Town of Galway. They have extended the chimney three feet higher than the peek of neighbor’s house. They have done everything according to the law and are at a loss on what to do to stop the harassment they are receiving from a neighbor for heating their home. Other neighbors create greater amounts of smoke with leave and garbage burning than their stove. The Police have suggested that the next time DEC is called on them to press charges against neighbor for harassment. Ryan Flinton owner of Outdoor Boiler feels this law is too restrictive for a permitted fuel. It is unnecessary to have a law which regulates outdoor boilers which burn wood using the same technology as an indoor boiler. Mr. Flinton stated that he doesn’t burn leaves in his stove, but feels this proposed law restricting the burning of leaves and wood chips encourages open burns for these types of materials; which are more annoying to neighbors. Questioned what the definition was for an Outdoor Furnace and how it affects chimney height? Mr. Flinton went into discussion regarding this. Greg Cooper owner of Outdoor Boiler feels law is too restrictive. He hopes this doesn’t discourage people from have these stoves. They are a carbon neutral form of energy which we should be looking at these days, so we don’t have to rely on an oil supply. Supervisor Hargrave stated that this was a proposed law, requesting public input and would not be voted on tonight. Ed Ladu advised that the Governor is proposing legislation to address Outdoor Boiler’s. Locally people are reacting to improperly installed units that are creating an environmental problem in their neighborhoods. Jeff Gordon owner of Outdoor Boiler stated that the regulations presented are pretty much the guidelines his stove company uses when installing a stove. If he was forced to heat his four thousand foot home with oil, he would have been bankrupt year ago. He could not afford not to have his stove; he would certainly stay within proposed guidelines. Mr. Gordon supports proposed law, but also supports the comments made by other stove owners tonight. Had information to be distributed to town board members from Stove Company on how these stoves work. Paul Wieland stated that it comes down to common sense. If you’re in a populated area, be courteous of neighbors on what you’re burning. The newer model stoves burn more efficiently and cleaner than the outdoor stoves of twenty years ago. Paul stated as time goes on stoves will be cleaner, efficient and less smoky than in the past. As these stoves are replaced these problems will be less of an issue. Supervisor Hargrave stated that Town Board will take into consideration comments made by audience tonight. Town Board will not be voting on this tonight. If another public hearing is held on stoves, it will be in Daily Gazette; on Town’s website; posted at Town Hall; Library; Bank & Post Office.

The Public Hearing was adjourned at 7:35 p.m.

Correspondence from Adirondack Trust Insurance regarding addition to commercial package. Clerk stated that this information was given to Highway Superintendent for his review.

Privilege of the Floor – Sue Atkins questioned if there would be a Highway Department Report this evening? She has not seen a report in the minutes for the last several meetings, apparently they are submitted to board but not read into minutes. She feels since the highway department has a good chunk of the tax payer’s budget, it would be good to know what was going on. Councilwoman Sutch stated that the reports are not read into the minutes, but given to Town Board each month as stated in correspondence section. Town Clerk stated that she can make the entire Highway Department Report part of minutes. Town Board will need to determine if this is what they want her to do, if so should she also make the Assessor; Building Administrator & Dog Control Officer’s written report a part of minutes in their entirety. Under report section, Town Clerk could state “no further report”. Clerk stated that all these reports are covered under the Freedom of Information Law and are available for review by any interested person. Frank Schwab stated that it is rumored that other things are being paved besides town roads by highway department. Supervisor Hargrave requested clarification from Mr. Schwab on what exactly he is referring too. Mr. Schwab had photo of the Perth Road paving project where he claimed that driveways were being paved beyond the 25’ centerline mark and culverts were being installed on building lots were is should be property owners responsibility. Highway Superintendent, Costanzo stated that Perth Road was raised over 18”, for the safety of the residents getting in & out of their driveways on this road further paving was required on some of the driveways. Sue Atkins stated that town created a basketball court for one resident. Superintendent Costanzo stated that this area was a previously constructed turn around area in resident’s driveway which needed to be consistent with height of existing driveway. Mr. Schwab stated that Jockey Street was recently reconstructed, but no additional paving of individual driveways was done beyond 25’ centerline mark. Superintendent Costanzo stated that each road needs to be looked at individually when paving, to determine what is needed. Councilwoman Sutch stated that board would need to get information from County & Town Attorney regarding this matter. Mr. Schwab stated that County & State roads are not paved beyond the right-of-way. Highway Superintendent Costanzo stated that State paved beyond right-of-way this summer when reconstructing bridge on Route 147, due to changes made to road. Councilman Topper stated that when his section of Jockey Street was paved, they paved into his lower driveway further than the right-of-way due to changes made to road. Mr. Schwab questioned why new town truck had no identifying markings for town vehicle? Superintendent Costanzo stated that logo is in the process of being made.

COMMITTEE REPORTS: Assessor – Supervisor Hargrave stated that the Assessor was at a concert. In his report he talked about his upcoming 10 day vacation; exemptions and total assessed value of town is in excess of two hundred, forty eight million. Historian – Supervisor Hargrave stated that the Historian would not be here tonight because she recently had heart surgery. Public Safety – No Report. Property – No Report. Buildings & Grounds – Councilman Topper stated that the majority of the fence posts have been installed at ball field, it looks like the fencing project will be completed this year. Public Affairs – Councilwoman Sutch stated she attended the first meeting held at school last night of the “Safe Trails to School Committee”. This is a fully funded federal program that is administered by NYSDOT. There is quite a bit of money available. Guidelines are available on their website. Project is required to be within a two mile radius of school. This is a totally funded grant, but sponsoring agency must put original funding out and then be refunded by grant. There were several possible areas looked at: sidewalks in village; congestion in parking lot area at drop off & pickup times; sidewalk from school to bus garage & soccer fields. They also discussed tying grant into other programs. Next meeting will be on January 7^th @ 7:00 p.m. in School Library. Gave board members packet on grant. If they decide to act on grant, it will need to be done quickly as grant must be submitted by April 1^st. Highway - Highway Superintendent read report into record. November Maintenance: hauling of sand & gravel to recreational field for parking lot; prepared equipment for winter storage; performed ditch work on Lake & Crane Roads; plowed & sanded as needed; picked up branches town wide from storms; hauled gravel from pit to shop & extended 12’ culvert pipe in recreation field parking lot to facilitate easier mowing. Scheduled maintenance for December: started cutting brush town-wide; plow & sand as needed; hauled gravel from pit to shop; started mowing ROW with brush hog attachment. County & Town – Supervisor Hargrave stated that the county budget should be approved tomorrow. Sherriff’s Department has pulled D.A.R.E. Officers from schools. The reasoning behind this is that Saratoga Springs & State Police are no longer going to transport prisoners, so Sheriff’s Department must handle this on county wide level. On a town level, we are getting ready to close out the year. Large number of budget adjustments today due to Account Clerks sight issues. Should be Chairman of the Board of Supervisor’s for 2008.

LIAISON REPORT: Planning Board – Councilman Tillson stated that Thomas & Susan Dugan received approval for a two-lot subdivision on Hermance Road.

Councilwoman Sutch stated with reference to the Safe Routes to Schools program that she discussed earlier, this group is looking for a sponsor. Sponsor needs to be school or municipality. The school will not sponsor program, Councilwoman Sutch is not sure why. The sponsor has to front the money for project and reimbursement comes later; along with overseeing the entire project. She would like Town Board Members to review the information she gave them along with visiting the site so she can get an idea as to interest by Town for the January 7^th meeting. Board went into discussion regarding program.

Councilwoman Sutch stated that she would like another workshop on zoning to address the following: 1) Section under “Schedule of Area, Bulk Yard Requirements” to show required acreage. This is not on our current paper copy that is given out to public, it is on web site if you scroll over. 2) Would like to incorporate the changes discussed with Consultant regarding conflicting areas with Fire Prevention & Building Code & Town Zoning Law. 3) The suggestion of Neil Cayey under section 115.20E8 “i.e.” should be changed to “e.g.”. 4) There are only three zoning maps that have to do with proposed Zoning Law. The other maps are reference maps only. Councilwoman Sutch feels that those three maps should be marked clearly zoning maps, the others reference maps. The reference maps she feels should not be posted on website. Councilwoman Sutch will call Consultant tomorrow to correct these issues with maps. Councilwoman Sutch would like to schedule a workshop to address these issues. Supervisor Hargrave stated that we can’t schedule a workshop until we have the information available for public on changes. Board went into discussion regarding zoning. Councilwoman Sutch will contact Jason at County Planning Board for his input on the issue made by the Buhrmaster’s on septic system evaluation at sale time. She will then call Jim Mitchell for his input.

Town Clerk asked for clarification on what the next step will be with outdoor furnaces. Councilwoman Sutch would like to vote on it in January. Councilman Tillson felt that regulations should be incorporated into zoning regulations. After discussion it was determined that they would review comments made at tonight’s meeting in workshop and address outdoor furnaces in zoning changes.

Councilman Topper made a motion, seconded by Councilman Weed to adjourn the meeting at 9:55 p.m.
All ayes. MOTION CARRIED
