Meeting of the Town Planning Committee tonight. Working w/ a deadline always focuses a meeting. The lawyer the Town Board talked to said in his opinion to take over zoning issues from the county, we only need to have a special meeting. So this Thursday the town will start w/ a Special Meeting to see if there is a vote to remove ourselves from county zoning, then the town board meeting for November, and then the annual town financial meeting. With the vote only two days out the committee adopted the county's existing fee schedule, land use form, and zoning ordinance as our own. We can tweek it as time goes on. Now everything is in place for the Special Meeting should the town vote to take over zoning responsibilities. I still think it's a stupid thing to do but I'm also pretty sure it will be voted in. People only attend meetings if they are ticked off about something so those are the people that will show up and vote. I'll stay w/ the committee for a short time after that to get procedures and forms set and then I'll bow out.
