At the February 22 Town Board meeting, the Town Board proposed a 180 day moratorium on actions requiring subdivision or site plan review, and on March 6th, the Board held a public information session and presented an overview of the moratorium.

The purpose of the moratorium is to review and if needed, propose revisions to the Town's Subdivision and Site Plan Review laws to help encourage energy efficiency, reduction in greenhouse gasses, water conservation, and development of on-site renewable energy.

The Town Board has scheduled a PUBLIC HEARING on the proposed moratorium for Monday March 27th at 7:00 pm at the Caroline Town Hall. 

Members of the public are invited to give comments or feedback about the moratorium to the Town Board.  Comments are not to exceed 3 minutes in length, and will be recorded by the Town Clerk.  

There will be no discussion during the public comment period. After the public has been heard, the Town Board may discuss the comments they have heard, may raise other questions or concerns, and may voice their own opinions.  The Town Board will make a determination if the moratorium is in need of revision or if it can proceed to a vote.  If major revisions are needed, the law will be re-written as indicated and then presented to the public for review at a later date.  If only minor or no changes are needed, the Board may amend the law at the meeting and may proceed to a vote at the public hearing, or may select another date to vote on the proposed law.      

Until 3pm on Monday March 27,  the public can also send questions or comments to the Town Clerk clerk@townofcaroline.org or PO Box 136, Slaterville Springs, NY 14881 and she will send them to the Town Board.
