WINDSOR TOWN BOARD - 2/5/98 is contrary to the Town Plan but feels it would not be contrary if it was cut down to the density of the Tiziani project. Supervisor Stravinski quoted from the Town Comprehensive Plan: "The Plan Commission's recommendation and the Town Board's finding of consistency or inconsistency with the Comprehensive Plan should be made part of the record as a basis for Town actions in these matters." Supervisor Stravinski feels that the Board must follow the Plan and that it would have to change the Plan in order to make this project fit. Supervisor Wipperfurth questioned Supervisor Stravinski regarding how the proposed retail fits into the Plan. Supervisor Stravinski did not feel that yards are open space. A motion was made by Supervisor Stravinski to deny the rezoning from C3 to Cl with CUP for Nicholas Ladopulos/rezoning former Annen Machinery Ranch property at 6626 Lake Road/8.91 acres/multi family use--commercial space for the reasons that it is contrary to the Town's Comprehensive Plan and Goal 1 and the objectives thereunder that "Individual and contiguous projects involving duplexes and multi-unit buildings should not exceed 5 acres in total aggregate area without being interspersed with an equal area of single family detached housing or neighborhood commercial or institutional uses or public open spaces"and"Maximum overall mix of housing types should not exceed the percentages of single family detached, duplexes, and multi-unit buildings that presently exist."

Eliminating two buildings would have been better. He also would like to have seen more retail in the two buildings. This is not in a framework with which he is comfortable. Mr. Ladopulos inquired whether he could withdraw the project at this point and come back with a somewhat dissimilar plan. Supervisor Day indicated that there was a motion on the floor and that Supervisor Stravinski would have to withdraw his motion and he would have to withdraw his second. Supervisor Stravinski indicated he would prefer either voting the present proposal up or down and having Mr. Ladopulos come back with a clean proposal. Mr. Ladopulos indicated he did not have time to go through the Plan Commission again as there was a pending contract to purchase. Supervisor Stravinski felt that Mr. Ladopulos should start the process over again. Supervisor Stravinski felt that some of the members of the Plan Commission would look at this project in a different light. He would not -6-
