Village of Penn Yan outlines code cleanup; county board approves referral finding
Summary
The Village of Penn Yan told the Yates County Planning Board it seeks to modernize and repeal outdated or redundant sections of its code; the county recorded the presentation and approved a no‑countywide‑impact finding with Chair Purdy abstaining.
The Yates County Planning Board heard from Ed Brockman regarding a referral from the Village of Penn Yan to update and streamline the Village Code. Brockman said several sections of the current code are outdated and the revision will "modernize and improve the overall clarity" of the code.
Jamie Landcastle moved that the county find no significant countywide impact under GML 239; Paul Danielson seconded and the motion passed with 11 in favor and Chair Purdy recorded as abstaining in the transcript. The county’s procedural finding does not adopt the Village’s code changes but returns the draft to the Village of Penn Yan for its local adoption process.
The transcript does not list Brockman’s official title; the record reflects his appearance to explain the status and rationale for the code update.
