The Village has posted a copy of the agenda for this evening’s Equestrian Commission meeting which begins at 7:00 PM at Village Hall. Topics to be discussed include:
- [Discussion] Septic Flow Rates – Barns & Stables
- Horse Density /Livestock Information
It’s unfortunate that an ePacket agenda for the meeting is not available for review. We would have appreciated a glance, particularly the draft minutes from their special meeting on August 1st when the Commissioners voted unanimously to recommend the retroactivity clause be removed from the LeCompte Commercial Horse Boarding Amendment.
One Commissioner can be heard in the recordings from that meeting stating that keeping the clause would be like “trying to rewrite history.” Another Commissioner concurred stating “I think it’s totally inappropriate.” The recording of their respective comments can be heard here.
Their vote to remove that clause was never discussed in subsequent Zoning Board meetings despite the fact that members of the Equestrian Commission were in attendance and chose not to speak. Nor did Trustee Karen Selman, liaison to the Equestrian Commission, ever bring their recommendation up in any Village Board meeting prior to approval of the LeCompte/Anderson Amendment.
