Mr. Newcomb also informed the Board that several new A-frame signs have been placed to direct vehicles to parking areas.

Chairman Ayers reported to the Board that he had received legal advice from Village Attorney Fusco to table the application for six (6) months (five from today) until March 2012 meeting.  He also noted that the applicant does not agree with this decision, but the file will be tabled.  (Newcomb left 7:23 PM & Holland left 7:25 PM)

	#11-09 Laurie & Bill Roberts of  41 Wells Road - alternate site for art studio.  Mrs. Roberts explained to the Board that the contractor they have spoke to about building the studio noted that the first location near their house has a narrow approach and was concern about getting trucks in to work the area foundation and deliver supplies.  The Board reviewed the new drawings for placement on the lot known as the “Jam Kitchen Property”.  
	Mrs. Roberts informed the Board that this piece of property was separate from their home property and easier to access. Some the changes noted were the removal of the dormer, no double doors or porch and using radiant heat in the floor instead of propane heat.  Chairman Ayers asked Deputy Clerk Brooks to inform the Code Officer of these changes.
	Ms. Morehouse moved to allow application #11-09 to be located at which ever site best fit’s the construction and that the Code Officer was to be kept informed.  Mr. Crocker seconded the motion.

	#11-14  James Burkett of 21 Cherry Avenue for landscaping work.
Chairman Ayers noted that the Board had tabled the file so they could visit the site as the work was completed without an application being filed.  As Ayers was the only one to view the area, he asked Mr. Brooks, a neighbor, of his opinion of the work.
