Meeting was called to order by Chairman Gary Jacobson at 7:05 PM.
Motion by Fred to accept minutes of 5-3-11 with one modification. Seconded by Jen. Motion passed.
Gary to follow up with three possible consultants to assist ZRC develop code consistent with ground water protection strategies being considered.
Scope of ZRC work. Discussion of scope creep, and of work that would be consistent with Comprehensive Plan and which has been touched on- namely review of schedule of uses in all zones. While the outcome of this work could help town processes affecting land use and appropriate economic development it was not identified when developing our work scope. Is there another body that could do this work? Ron could head a work group to handle this. Tim will be asked if he’d participate, and the Environmental Committee will be asked to forward a member to assist in this project. ZRC members agreed with Billy that the existing Schedule of Permitted Uses should be reviewed and updated to better define allowances for: Bakery; fueling stations; certain food manufacturing, forest land, construction, hunting, trapping and fishing, cabinet making and wood carvers. Discussion of defining manufacturing, and parameters to measure impact on quality of life, natural resource protection, and infrastructure.
Discussion of Draft Signage Code and issues that should be addressed. These include signs such as “No Trespassing”, and signs to indicate property ownership such as “posted signs”. Size is a means to regulate, as is location. Consideration of not requiring a permit for certain signs placed on property by owner. A new Public Hearing will likely be required to move signage forward as future drafts will include substantive changes based on public input thus far. Jen will deliver comprehensive notes of discussion to Shannon LaFrance, Esq.
Discussion of PDD and role that Town Board could and potentially should play in development of language for that code. F-stop to raise the matter before the town Board.
Discussion of budget for our work and desirableness for funds to use for consultation around ground water protection and related matters.
F-stop declared his appreciation for the quantity and quality of the work completed by the ZRC.
Next meeting is schedule for June 28, 2010 at 7:00 PM at Recreation Center.
NB: Regularly scheduled meeting for June 7 is cancelled.
Motion was made by Gary to adjourn the meeting. Fred seconded. Meeting adjourned at 8:35 PM

Meeting was called to order by Chairman Gary Jacobson at 7:05 PM.
Motion by Gary to accept minutes of 4-26-11 meeting. Second by Fred. No discussion. Motion passed.
Discussion of ground water and karst resource protection strategies. Attorney Shannon LaFrance has concerns that the ZRC is considering code to protect all ground water with code that would require an investigation of geohydrologic resources and vulnerability townwide.
Discussion regarding the science available to achieve desired results- protection of groundwater resources in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. Is there scientific basis to outright prohibit activities listed in Draft Prohibitions in middle and high sensitivity areas in Karst aquifer? Can science justify phase study approach to all aquifers in Rosendale?
Discussion regarding available science and utilization of science to develop code. Consultation with a professional with expertise in science, resource protection and code is considered important by all in attendance. Agreement by all in attendance that we need assistance assessing approaches to protect vulnerable groundwater aquifers by considering yield and sensitivity. We would like a preliminary assessment and have our questions answered about what can be done with existing resources to protect groundwater and aquifers. Members discussed known local experts and their known experience in such matters. A short list was developed and a plan designed to proceed was developed.
Next meeting is scheduled for May 31, 2010 at 7:00 PM at Recreation Center.

Meeting was called to order by Chairman Gary Jacobson at 7:05 PM.
Motion by Tim to accept minutes of 4-5-11 meeting. Second by Ken. No discussion. Motion passed.
Town Law adoption process, procedure and schedule discussed. Billy stated that the Planning Board desires a process that allows for their input to be considered prior to Public Hearing scheduled for 5-4-11. Ron stated that the ZBA can review and provide their input during the Public Hearing period is open for written comments and suggested that the Public Hearing period could be lengthened to allow for more time for the public, and town bodies to comment and provide input. Consensus was reached to request the Town Board to extend the Public Hearing period an additional 30 days.
Discussion of the nuts and bolts of 5-4-11 Public Meeting.
Discussion of the role of the ZRC in development of PDD code. Consensus reached that the ZRC will be able to take on the project if adequate resources are made available. The ZRC attorney has already provided legal comments on the base document and has recommended that the ZRC make substantial changes to it. The ZRC would like Shannon LaFrance, Esq. to develop the draft further and for the ZRC review the document and provide input prior to submission of the code to the Town Board for their input.
The ZRC will consider PDD once code to protect groundwater and karst resources is essentially completed.
Discussion of code to protect resources associated with karst. An overview of data on hand and data necessary to develop this code suggests that an accurate comprehensive understanding of the drainage of surface water into aquifers is not possible, and that obtaining the data may not be feasible. Agreement reached that code to protect karst ground water resources would affect subdivisions and site plans in Carbonate Rock Area via requirement of a Phase 1 investigation. Single home development would not call for a Phase 1 investigation.
The matter of ground water protection on a larger scale with a broader concern than karst water resource was revisited. Much of the Town is located in areas identified in the NRI as having sensitive hydrological properties. ZRC members agreed to strongly consider scrapping karst specific code and instead develop code to protect all groundwater in the town. All development greater than singe lot would trigger a phase 1 investigation. Engineering issues in karstic rock would be reviewed in an ensuing Phase 2 investigation when indicated. Groundwater in karstic areas would be protected by Prohibitions in addition to conditions required for economic uses.
Motion by Tim and seconded by Fred to: Require Hydro-geologic Analysis for all development of two or more lots or any development requiring Site Plan Review. Passed unanimously.
There was agreement that should the findings of the hydro-geologic analysis suggest further investigation is necessary to ensure the health and safety of residents and protection of important natural resources , that an In Depth Hydro-geologic Analysis be undertaken. This would include, when appropriate, a structural analysis, and elements described in existing carbonate rock/karst code under consideration. In addition further yet to identified means for investigation and analysis that would ensure the intent of ground water protection code is served would be required. Tracer and dye testing are two means likely to be included.
Motion was made by Fred to adjourn the meeting. Meeting adjourned @8:35 PM

Meeting was opened by Chairman Gary Jacobson at 7:10PM.
- Gary contacted Daily Freeman, Ulster Publishing and Shawangunk Journal to inform them of regularly scheduled ZRC meeting schedule for public notification. These media outlets had been informed previously but at least the Daily Freeman published an incorrect time and date for the February ZRC meeting.
- Betsy Tuel has tendered her resignation from the ZRC. Marc Cassidy has moved away from the area but has not declared his intention of resignation in writing.
- Signage Code- While this is not a ZRC matter, the ZRC has discussed this issue on several occasions as it has been a known concern in the community. In her position as Deputy Supervisor, Jennifer has been facilitating work by Town Attorney Shannon La France, who is revising the Town's sign regulation, and has been working with the Town Attorney to facilitate progress toward completion of the ZRC work, including a tentative schedule for legal review and consideration by the Town Board.
Jennifer shared the following plan for scheduling meetings and processes:
o Draft Code for Signage to be delivered to the Town Board ahead of its April 2011 meeting. A public hearing could be scheduled for May, pending Town Board action. Draft local law of zoning code revisions by the ZRC, together with full environmental assessment form, to be delivered to the Town Board for its May meeting. A Public Hearing on the draft local law could be scheduled for June, pending Town Board action.
o Shannon LaFrance is scheduled to attend the regularly scheduled ZRC meeting on 4-5-11. She will discuss with the ZRC her recommendations for changes in the code she has reviewed. Prior to 4-5-11 the ZRC can expect a memo from LaFrance that will outline the points she intends to cover at the meeting. After the 4-5-11 meeting LaFrance will develop Draft Local Law that incorporates the codes as it substance.
o Behan Associates will complete the required SEQRA form accompanying the Draft Local Law.
- Draft Town Law should be posted on the Town Website
- LaFrance states that a revised Zoning Map that delineates zones is required. She recommends aligning zone boundaries with existing lot lines. For the purpose of the work ZRC is charged with a map that delineates the B-3 zone will be developed. The other work LaFrance recommends completing on the map is a Town Board matter.
- Ron is the ZRC member most familiar with the lots included in the B-3 zone. He can work with Nava to ensure proper mapping of the B-3 zone.
- Tim volunteered to insert another column in the existing Draft Schedule of Permitted Uses so that uses allowed by right and by special use permit can be included in that document. These uses will be discussed at a future meeting.
- List of Prohibitions in Carbonate Rock Zone was discussed with Billy, providing much input into what will be the second revision of that document.
- Future meeting on March 22, 2010, an extra meeting for March was discussed. Gary will follow up .
Motion was made by Ken Oldehoff to adjourn the meeting.

New Business
Paul Heisig of USGS attended by invitation in order to provide education to the ZRC to help with understanding issues bearing on code to guide development on carbonate rock.
Salient points included:
- Carbonate rock outcropping at grade suggests potential for higher hydrological connectivity.
- Rosendale is “riddled with faults” that can contribute to high hydrological connectivity.
- Potential for ground water contamination with agents other than pathogens in waste water treated in a properly functioning septic system is significant in areas with karst.
- Qualifications of for a consultant to conduct a preliminary or Phase One investigation per current draft code should include: Basic four year hydrology and or geology college degree. Familiarity with drainage and karst features, and professional field experience identifying karst features.
In general Mr. Heisig suggested that ensuring public health and safety by developing code that protects people, and natural communities affected by development in and around carbonate rock areas is an important measure.
Mr. Heisig will follow up and report to the ZRC his findings about specific aspects of the Karst Map as it pertains to our work.
Motion was made by Fred to adjourn the meeting.

Reviewed notes taken at the June 16 Town Board meeting by Gary and Mike Allen.
Item#1
Public notification of Special Use Permits and Public Meetings on matters before the Planning Board
Recommendation:
Signs shall be posted 12 days prior to meeting. Signs supplied by the town. Size of the signs should be 24 x 32. Notification shall be posted on town website. Signs shall reference website and provide a town phone number to call for more information. Website shall contain information that reflects the issues to be considered by the Planning Board and for which the Public Meeting is being held.
Item # 2 Referral to Planning Board of matters before the Building Department that involve Constrained Lands code.
Recommendation:
The Building Department identifies that a project before them includes considerations contained in Constrained Lands code requiring mitigation the matter will be referred to the Planning Board. The Planning Board shall review the matter along with their consultant to provide advice to the Code Enforcement Officer.
Item # 3 B-1 Extension and all Main St. B-1 Zone- Parking
Recommendation
All businesses without adequate on-site parking have access to Municipal Parking and must purchase a Parking Waiver from the Town.
Item #4 B-1 Extension
Recommendation
Develop list of uses by right for what will be "Modified B-1". Allow professional services and exclude taverns and businesses where preparations of food for take out or consumption on site is prohibited.
Ease restriction of requirement of business within 400 feet of Municipal Parking.
Ron has a list of businesses referenced taken from the recent survey. Workgroup formed (Ron, Marc, and Brian) to develop a recommended list of permitted uses and details of code
Item #5 Lights "Spillover"
Recommendation
Include Residential zones. Use Design Guidelines language. "0 angle deflection and shielded and shrouded". Should a Nuisance Ordinance that involves lighting issues and noise be developed?
Prior discussions of enforcement included need to consider how it will be enforced as infractions occur at night after business hours.
Is this a matter for Behan or Town Attorney?
Item #6- Cluster Development vs. Conservation Subdivision.
Would Conservation Subdivision code allowed for projects that "make sense
Recommendation
Behan asked to use Wild Rose and Legacy Farm plats to develop a Conservation Subdivision.
Evaluate 30% of buildable land to be set aside. Expectation is that it does, and will stay in code until proven otherwise.
Leslie will provide Behan with copies of the final plats for both mentioned subdivisions.
Item #7 10% slope in "Steep Slope Code?
Recommendation
Remediation and considerations for protection of resources and facilitation of appropriate development found in 10% to 15% makes sense. Best solution: Name code "Slopes" instead of "Steep Slopes".
Items discussed tonight will be forwarded to Behan.
Discussed next scheduled ZRC meetings. Leslie will check with Heidi on availability of Rec Center. Proposed July 8th
July 15 is a regular monthly meeting.
