Mr. Armstrong from Bunker Hill requested the street signs in the Wilkinson Road area be reviewed. Highway Superintendent Roets will look into. Chief Ellis was asked to set the speed trailer up in the area.
Aaron Cook from the Macedon Trails Committee reported their accomplishments and requests of the Town Board. The Board appreciates all the work the Committee as accomplished and how they have maintained the trails. The complete report is included. Aaron requested a permit for Brochure Holders, which will provide local information to trail users. Hunting in the trail area has been an issue this year. A local law was requested limiting hunting and ”Highly Visible Clothing” sign permits. The main area of concern is east of Canandaigua Road between the canal and railroad tracks. An ordinance does exist in the Village that prohibits discharge of firearms. Town Attorney Villani and the Board will research what lands are involved and would like to coordinate with the jurisdiction that has the most geography within this area. Multiple jurisdictions are involved. Permits were requested for brush cleanup at Ganargua Aqueduct, Lower Basin Cleanout at Lock 60 by the Highway Department, and Macedon’s Canal stop at Lock 30 on 7/10/2007 for Cycling The Canal. Two projects identified for grant proposals were a Canandaigua Road pedestrian bridge and Lock 30 campsites with bathrooms. It was the consensus of the Board for the Supervisor to apply and sign any permit applications. The Board concurs with the Trail Committee’s recommendations and prioritized list of projects for grant applications.

Bob Bringley, Parrone Engineers requested the Town Board consider rezoning 130 acres on Route 31 from Industrial to Totally Planned Development for affordable housing with assisted living. The property is north of Route 31, west of Miceli’s Restaurant and backs up to the canal. Tommy Scharf, the client explained the homes would cost $150,000. The prefab homes built by Ritz Craft in Pennsylvania would be 28’ x 50’, 57’ or 60’, one floor, with no basement unless
requested. Residents would own the home with Morning Star Communities owning the land. Residents pay property taxes on their home only. Lots measure 50’ x 110’ deep with measurements going to the centerline. Lot rents range from $250 to $400 per month with a 99-year lease and a fee of $100 per month for snow removal, etc. Sewer and water lines will be dedicated to the Town with Morning Star retaining possession of the roads. A convenience store and doctor’s office is also proposed. The project is estimated to take 10 years with 25-30 homes built per year. The Board had several concerns such as, impact on the ambulance and fire services, what happens in 99 years when the lease is up, how would the project be phased, and this does not meet the current zoning. The Board will submit any questions they have and will give Mr. Scharf a consensus if they are in favor or not by the second meeting in February. Similar housing would be St. Anne’s on Cherry Ridge or one on Clover Woods.
RESOLVED the Town Board supports the grant proposal project recommendations and prioritized list for grant applications from the Macedon Trails Committee and authorize applications to be submitted at the appropriate times and any necessary supporting correspondence signed by the Supervisor.

Mark Plyter requested the Town look at a contract with Wayne County Humane Society as an alternate shelter. In reviewing the contract it would be more expensive for the Macedon residents and farther to drive. It was the consensus of the Board to continue to use Lollypop as our shelter.
The Library is experiencing signal problems with their cable. Time Warner has offered to connect the Library with a more direct route free of charge versus running it off the Town building connection. The Library receives cable free of charge.
Discussion followed on Burhnam Heights resurfacing project. Due to the Village of Palmyra offering brush pick up to the Macedon residents on Burnham Heights, Mayor Daly requested Macedon subsidize the project. In negations, Highway Superintendent Roets suggested a 50/50 split with help from his crew. Mayor Daly requested the Town of Macedon pay $48,000 of the $78,000 total cost to resurface with Palmyra paying $30,000. It was the consensus, based on the confusion, that it was prudent to revert to the original agreement dated July 5, 1955. The original agreement with Palmyra states that the Town of Macedon would pay 40% of the total expense of finishing the construction of the traveled portion of Burnham Heights and keeping the same in repair and removing the snow there from with such charges to be itemized and rendered at least annually with all of the construction and repairs required to be performed by the Village of Macedon.
The pay phone at Bullis Park will be removed next week.
The Board discussed the Town’s Quaker Road Gravel Pit that is assessed at $210,900. Town Attorney Villani advised the Board to retain the land and let Pal-Mac Youth Baseball run the program like they do at Gravino Park. Supervisor Hammond will contact them.
