applicant and distributed a smaller version of the drawing of this area. Tim stated this site is on Brewerton Rd. and is requesting a zone change referral for the back portion, which is zoned R-10 and the front RC-1. Tim noted to the north, east, and south, the parcels are all zoned RC-1, with the west (Hinerwadel’s) zoned R-10. A question was raised at a recent Town Board meeting if the owner owns all the property and Tim said, he does with a portion of it in the Town of Salina. Tim is unsure what the owner will do with the property, as he has no particular users, however, believes he will most likely sell it, but needs the zone change. Karen Guinup asked about the property that abuts to the other three parcels and Tim said, the
