4 Mike Bragman Sr. explained that since the original application the number of parcels has been reduced to 58 homes on 47 acres. The traffic study was submitted and they indicated that there would be no significant increase in traffic; Onondaga County Planning concurred. Supervisor Ulatowski asked about the pond and the controversy at previous meetings. Mr. Bragman said that the new development will not abut the pond. Supervisor Ulatowski asked if the Board had any questions. Councilor Young asked if there was another map. There was a brief discussion about the DOT letter.
Supervisor Ulatowski asked if the public had any questions. Joe Lotito stated that at the previous meeting Mr. Bragman was only concerned with his son’s property. He added that the map is not accurate. He reiterated that they don’t want development and that all the Bragmans’ care about is the son’s privacy and comfort. Supervisor Ulatowski steered the conversation back on track by explaining that the Board is only concerned with the portion that is indicated in the zone change. Mr. Lotito persisted, asking Mr. Bragman if he owned the property or had a contingency purchase contract. Turning back to the Board he accused, why are you letting him? Supervisor Ulatowski again explained the process stating that a developer has the right to petition the Town for a change of zone. There were more discussions about the pond and concern for people using it.
Several residents spoke echoing statements and concerns from previous meetings.
There was a discussion about the requirement to hook up to sewer. Ron DeTota explained that there was a probability that septic would fail and the cost for only 9 lots was prohibitive. Councilor Rowley explained that the County sets the requirements for sewers not the Town.
Mr. Lotito suggested that a 5 or 6 foot fence be used to line the pond to keep children out and reduce the liability. He then stated that they were going to continue and develop the Melvin property. He continued that he didn’t trust them. He added that Joanie Mahoney had a vision for the Northern Land use and provided prime recommendations. Councilor Bray explained that the County Executive has nothing to do with the zoning in the Town of Clay; the Town conducted its own study.
Supervisor Ulatowski said that he would close the public hearing.

5 approximately 7.04 ± acres of land. (Adjourned to this date and time from the January 20, 2016 Town Board Meeting) was opened by the Supervisor.
Joe Durand of TDK Engineering was present to speak about the zone change application. He gave a brief overview of the application explain that they would have a showroom for automobile sales. The main concern is the interconnectivity of the lots redirecting some of the traffic from Route 31. Mr. Durand explained that the Fox dealership relies on access from Route 31; adding that they are applying for full access from Route 31. The Town Board all agreed about the importance of interconnectivity. Councilor Bray said that the internal roads have been a part of the success on the Route 31 development. Mr. Durand said that they do not plan to obstruct but also do not plan to build a road; adding that the plans are not complete yet.
Patrick Donegan spoke, explaining that his father owns two small parcels one to the east and the other to the west of this application. He continued that when he saw that the property was going to be developed he was excited. Now he is concerned because his parcels are not included. He suggested that all of the stakeholders should be included not left out of the process. He indicated on the map where his family’s parcels are and how the development around them would render the parcels unusable.
Supervisor Ulatowski said that he would adjourn the public hearing.
Mr. Durand asked if the Town Board would make a decision now and work out the details in the planning stages. The Town Board was not comfortable with this.
Councilor Bick made a motion to adjourn the public hearing to March 21, 2016 at

Again, the Town Board overwhelmingly asked about interconnectivity. Mr. Marzocchi said that they are committed to connect with lands to the west. Councilor Bick asked about the small property, would they make a connection to that parcel? Mr. Marzocchi said that they do not want to spider web.
Mr Marzocchi explained that they will provide access to the proposed traffic signal adding that they would like to close (with all due respect). He added that he will sit down and work with others.
