A lengthy discussion followed on the Hillside Children’s Center application to locate a home for children with developmental disabilities in the Town of Macedon. Hillside purchased a home located on Farmington Road to establish a community residence or Individual Residential Alternative. This home would house five (5) individuals with special needs.

After purchasing the residence, Hillside made a formal application to the Town on December 7, 2005. The Town was given forty (40) days after the receipt of the letter to respond in one of three ways:

Approve the site
Suggest alternate sites
Object due to saturation

The Macedon Town Board held a public hearing on January 12, 2006 to hear and consider public comment. On January 13, 2006 the Board notified Hillside they disagreed with the proposed site and expressed its dismay that Hillside chose not to solicit any input or comment from our community leaders or residents prior to the purchase. Six (6) alternative sites were suggested.

In an undated letter from Hillside the six proposed sites were rejected. They

felt comparable sites at this point would have been existing homes.

March 10, 2006 the Town suggested an alternate site on Canandaigua Road along with a request for an immediate hearing before the NYS OMRDD Commissioner, Thomas A. Maul on the original application and alternate sites.

NO. 9 PAGE 4

APRIL 27, 2006

The Town Board stated there was no pending application for the Canandaigua Road location. Hillside would have to withdraw the original application for Farmington Road and reapply for Canandaigua Road. The Town should be given the same process for the Canandaigua Road property as Farmington Road.
