At last night’s annual review for the MasterPlan 2015, the Town Board read into the record a letter that was sent to the Town Board from an officer of ClarenceFIRST. This letter outlined the ClarenceFIRST Homeowners Association support of the Planning Board’s 2008 recommendation to DOWNZONE Segment B.

It also expressed concern regarding the use of reporting time during the Town Board meetings to bring motions regarding MasterPlan 2015 amendments that are currently under debate. The letter requested that any motions regarding master plan amendments be placed on the formal agenda from now on so that they are brought to the public’s attention for comment and review.

Also at last night’s review: West Herr of Clarence submitted a request to extend the major arterial zoning behind their Saturn dealership on Transit Road a further 220 feet deeper into their property. This will leave a 440 feet buffer between their vehicle storage lot and adjacent properties on Via Marina Drive.

Both the West Herr proposal and the Segment B downzoning will most likely be on the next Planning Board agenda on March 17.
