Ridgeway sets Oct. 21 public hearing on proposed zoning change to allow sawmills
Summary
The Town of Ridgeway board set a public hearing for Oct. 21 on Local Law No. 2, a proposed amendment to the zoning ordinance that Code Enforcement Officer Jason Raduns said would allow sawmills in certain districts; the board voted 3-0 to schedule the hearing.
The Town of Ridgeway Town Board voted unanimously on Sept. 16 to set a public hearing on Oct. 21 to consider Local Law No. 2, which would amend the town's zoning ordinance to allow sawmills in certain districts.
Code Enforcement Officer Jason Raduns explained the purpose of the proposed local law, stating that "this local law will amend the text in our zoning ordinance to allow sawmills in certain districts." The board voted to set the hearing after a motion from Councilman Jeffrey Toussaint and a second from Councilman Duane Payne; the motion carried 3 Ayes, 0 Nays.
The action schedules the formal opportunity for public comment and sets the next procedural step before any adoption of the proposed zoning change. The town's meeting record does not show detailed debate on possible district boundaries, performance standards, or environmental or traffic impacts; those matters typically are addressed during the public hearing and any subsequent drafts of the law.
Town Attorney Kathy Bogan is working on related local code matters and said she will pursue a conditional permit process where appropriate; the board directed staff to publish notice of the hearing and prepare materials for Oct. 21.
