The Planning Board reviewed draft local‑law amendments to Chapter 74 (uniform codes) and discussed several clarifications staff and board members identified, including the table of dimensional thresholds, lot‑size dependencies for accessory structures, and a 90‑day limit on storage containers.

Board members asked staff and the chair to draft a referral letter to the town board recommending the local law move forward to public hearing, while noting remaining clarifications that can be addressed during the hearing process. The chair said the goal is to complete the local‑law updates before the moratorium expires to avoid another moratorium extension; board members agreed to forward the letter and proceed with public hearings.
