This should be reviewed. No doubt about it! saving money or not it must be done right! There may be a traffic problem. I don't think the village wants to return to the day when businesses were allowed to bypass the approval process.

But I would like to ask if anyone on the planning board may have a conflict of interest in this case?

GL Chris on the new location.

Churchill St... Does that mean revisiting the usage and extent of the 'Village Business District' again?

How about Key Food's location? Lots of room. Lots of parking. You can rent, sell, store, repair all the kayaks you want. You can offer classes and certifications on an array of outdoor activities. You can even sell...
wait for it...
ice cream.

Thank you Bob. Just so you know, SKAT will be operating out of the same building. And we will be giving away mini ice cream sandwiches at the end of every tour!

I would think that in this economy the community would embrace new business and not hinder it. I applaud the inspector for helping to push through an application.
Perhaps this is a good place for the local Chamber of Commerce to play a role in helping the business community expand its exposure and position within our town. Perhaps we could encourage a slew of new opportunities for recreation in the Town and Village.

Mr. Schneider, the next Chamber meeting will be held on Tuesday, 2/23 at 6:30 pm at Leos. Please feel free to join us. Perhaps, working together, we can find a way to "help the business community expand it's exposure and position within our town". We're always open to new ideas. I look forward to meeting with you.

Lee has stated in the past that he has a personal and business relationship with Deke. This made it inappropreate for him to vote on matters where Deke is involved. I am suprised that Lee would expose himself to an ethics investigation.
