Jamestown Community College seeks area variance for demonstration garden on campus
Summary
Jamestown Community College and Cornell Cooperative Extension sought an area variance to install a demonstration community garden and 4‑foot fencing on JCC property; the college submitted a support letter read into the record. The transcript does not show a final vote in the provided excerpt.
Jamestown Community College presented a request related to a community demonstration garden to be established on college property in partnership with Cornell Cooperative Extension of Chautauqua County.
The college submitted a letter read into the record from JCC President Daniel DeMarte supporting the project and saying the proposed location outside the existing science center is suitable because of sunlight, water access and visibility; the letter noted accessibility from adjacent parking and sidewalks and said JCC supports the request for a variance permit. Cornell Cooperative Extension sought a community demonstration garden with 4‑foot fencing and described the effort as research‑based gardening education for county residents.
Board members asked no substantive clarifying questions of the project presenters as recorded in the provided transcript excerpt. The chair asked for a motion on the area variance request; the transcript shows the chair seeking a motion but does not record a final motion, second or roll‑call outcome in the excerpt provided.
Because the provided transcript does not include a complete vote, no final outcome is recorded here.
