Here's an interesting recent quote from Watertown town supervisor Joel bartlett regarding their zoning. It's in reference to their sign code, but the relevance is obvious.
ReplyDeleteMr. Bartlett acknowledged that the town’s ordinance has some gray areas.
“People always look for gray areas; that’s their role in life. The law can’t be perfect, but we make our decisions on what’s written,” he said
This in contrast to our local planning board chair who declared-" do we take our law literally-no we don't"

ReplyDeleteLet's see...in Cape Vincent didn't they spend 7 months writing down our zoning law and spend a lot of money on an attorney and other experts? Even longer if you consider the wind economic study,the Zogby poll, consultations with bird experts,property appraisal experts etc etc etc.
And now the conclusion is after all this time and money...we aren't going to take our law literally anyhow???? Seriously????
