MINUTES OF SPECIAL MEETING
BETWEEN THE EMERALD ISLE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
AND THE PLANNING BOARD
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 – 9:30 A.M. – TOWN HALL
            Present for the meeting were:  Mayor Arthur Schools, Commissioners Richard Eckhardt, Dorothy “Doje” Marks, Pat McElraft, Floyd Messer, Emily Farmer, Town Manager Frank Rush, Town Clerk Carolyn Custy, Planning Board Members Frank Erwin, Art Daniel, Ed Dowling and Pat Patteson.  Planning Board Member Anne Erikson arrived at 11:00 a.m.

            Mr. Rush updated the board on the flooding at the Community Center.  A water main broke and flooded the weight room, aerobics room, cleaning room, one office and the gym.  Municipal Risk Management Services has been notified and they will send out an adjuster.  The Community Center will probably be closed for the rest of this week.

            Mr. Hugh Geiger expressed concerns about some of the changes made to the Dunes and Vegetation Ordinance one of which was the 3” diameter issue with trees. 

            In addition to the tree issue other areas discussed in length by the Planning Board and Town Board were the definition of “dune”, septic systems, repair areas, filling, vegetation and clarification of parts of the ordinance.

            The Dunes and Vegetation Ordinance went back to the Planning Board Sub-Committee for more work.

            A meeting was set by the Planning Board Sub-Committee for Monday, October 8 at 9:00 A.M. at Town Hall to again review the Dunes and Vegetation Ordinance and possibly make changes before it is presented to the Planning Board and then the Town Board for approval.

            A meeting will be held for public comment and input between the October Planning Board Meeting and the November Town Board meeting.  This date is to be announced at a later date.

            The meeting was adjourned at 12:45 P.M.

Respectfully submitted,

Carolyn K. Custy
Certified Municipal Clerk
