No comments were made from the audience. The County did not agree with the application because of a lack of road frontage of 60ft per lot. The board would like to see the maintenance agreement updated to the Town attorney's specifications.

Don and Donna Cooper: SBL#: 66.00-2-7.2 is seeking approval for the reallocation of the lot line separating the lands of Donald B. and Donna L. Cooper from the lands of Richard K. and Maureen S. Cooper to alleviate house encroachment and equally divide the lands of the aforementioned parties. No new lots will be created.

Kevin Caslin attorney speaking on behalf of the Coopers. No comments from the audience. The County approves of the proposal.

No comments from the audience. Lance Manus is the engineer for Kevin Chesnut on this project and is still working on the DEC permits. The Town will decide who should be lead agency on this project. The project will be continued to the October 20, 2005 meeting due to lack of information.
