Administrative Discussion

Mr. Boxberger reported that he met with a representative of Pyramid and Joel Bartlett, Town of Watertown Supervisor, regarding a request from Pyramid to change parking requirements at Salmon Run Mall. The request is to decrease the required parking spaces based on square footage under Town Regulations.

Pyramid does not have a specific project to present to the board at this time. They would like support from the board for this request to make it easier to expand the footprint in a timely manner if a prospective tenant should request it.

A way to support this request could be handled with a resolution if Pyramid can demonstrate satisfactory justification. With careful wording, the board could cover what Pyramid is requesting and still protect the Town’s interests. Discussion followed.

-2-

Board members agreed that if Pyramid provides satisfactory justification, a carefully worded resolution could be drafted to support this request.

Motion 10-16: Motion by Mr. Smith, seconded by Mr. Boxberger to adjourn the meeting at 7:32 p.m.

Ayes All: Motion Carried.
