POP WARNER FOOTBALL:
Pop Warner Football was the first group to present a request for the Town Board to offer assistance from the Town of Trenton, in particular the Town Highway Department, to provide Trucking for the driveway and parking area for their proposed Football Park project. Pop Warner has gone to the Zoning Board of Appeals to obtain authorization to build a multiple field park for the purpose of the Holland Patent Pop Warner Football Teams to have a home field and to include other nearby communities in our local Pop Warner Football organization. A Public Hearing on allowing a zoning change or variance to enable the Holland Patent Pop Warner Organization to build this facility will be held on May 1, 2006. The Pop Warner Organization is requesting a conditional agreement from the Town Board for assistance after approval from the Zoning Board of Appeals and following a Site Plan Review by the Planning Board. The Park project will have one playing field and two practice fields for the five Pop Warner Teams. Space has been included for AYSO soccer fields and a baseball field if those organizations are interested in developing fields in the park. The Pop Warner Organization includes young athletes from the Towns of Trenton, Floyd, Westernville and the Town of Remsen. Pop Warner is in the process of getting the athletes from Adirondack to join as well. There are currently 170 students participating in this program. The Organization is planning to put in a 42 x 78 building for equipment storage, bathrooms, concessions stand, announcement booth and changing rooms. The Park has purchased 28 acres and has provided a plan for possible development of 25 acres. The Board has agreed to provide assistance with trucking depending on Arts schedule and approval of the project.
KEVIN STORSBERG:
Kevin Storsberg of Powell Road, Holland Patent, addressed the Town Board in regards to an incident occurring at his house on March 7, 2006. He has concerns not addressed by his attorney. Storsberg would like to state that he is not anti gun or anti hunting or even anti Fish & Game Club.
After extensive researching, he feels the use of club has changed. Storsberg’s belief is that a Fish & Game Club is to promote fishing, hunting and safety. Storsberg is opposed to having a rifle range aiming directly at his house. He feels the gunshot incident has caused a great deal of strain on his family. Storsberg stated his desire to address some issues he has without getting into zoning issues. Storsberg shared some information from Planning Board minutes where the Fish & Game Club had been referenced. In April 2005 two people came in with complaints about noise. He stated he hears a considerable amount of noise from the Game Club and he has accepted it and does not have a problem with it. Storsberg stated he agreed with the gentleman, in past minutes from 7 years ago, who claims the Club has had a change in usage and a request was made for the Zoning Board of Appeals to look into the issue. Storsberg would like the Town to have the Planning Board look into use of the Game Club as a bullet has now come into contact with a residence and render an opinion back to the Town Board. Having reviewed the Towns zoning code, Storsberg cited “a structure or a use that are non conforming may not expand “ definition in regards to the expansion of the rifle range at the Game Club. He claimed that somewhere between 1994 and 2006 the rifle range was expanded and pointed towards his house. Storsberg questioned the validity that the range was constructed to meet NRA regulations. Storsberg would like to see the Town Board “act” and not “react.”
Mary Adamo addressed the Board to share her concerns, as a resident of Powell Road, as to the safety of herself and her fellow residents.
Harold Stalker addressed the Board in regards to the Storsberg incident. He shared concerns with this incident being written off as an isolated incident. He would like the Town Board to look into the issues and safety concerns regarding the Fish and Game Club.
Tim Halpin addressed the Board to share his concerns over the loose policy used at the Fish & Game Club. He has used the facilities, but has not been a member for a couple of years. Halpin asked with the use and misuse of high-powered rifles, what safe guards would be required of the Fish & Game Club?
Clint Lankton addressed the Board to state a desire to see the Town Board and the Planning Board to implement a corrective action plan to assure the safety of the residents of Powell Road.
Scheidelman responded to Kevin Storsberg that his attorney had requested information from the Town and that the information will be filed within the next couple of days.
Storsberg responded that he has received all the information he requested. The Zoning Officer is complying with his Attorneys’ request.
Bruce Kellogg assured the Powell Road residents that the Board is not taking this issue lightly.
South Trenton Community Association:
Larry Bogan and Joe Detraglia addressed the Board wondering what happened with the Grant for South Trenton. Scheidelman talked to the Senators Office and they tracked down the $5,000.00 Member Item Grant. South Trenton Community Association was sent a proposal with a packet of information in 2004. Upon receipt of that proposal a contract would be written up for the money to be given to the Association. Parks and Recreation never heard another thing. Scheidelman obtained another copy of the proposal and it was sent to Dianna Clark. As soon as the paperwork is in, Scheidelman hopes they will write up a contract; come and inspect the property and issue a check.
The South Trenton Community Association would like to get voting back in South Trenton for this fall. Mr. Detraglia is asking the board what else needs to be done to allow voting to be returned. Ken Cutler replied, before he could issue a Certificate of Use, all structural repairs would need to be completed. Mr. Detraglia stated the second floor would be closed off. Ken asked for a contact person to meet him at the building for an inspection. Joe Smith stated that better lighting, better parking and bathrooms would be needed before he would bring voting back to South Trenton. Bruce Kellogg stated he has concerns with parking, lighting and bathrooms before allowing voting to return. Ken Cutler will look into State code requirements for voting sites.

He was able to find one to rent so sweeping can continue.
Scheidelman brought to the attention of the Town Board a report on the Mining Operation on Mapledale Road. In July of 2005 John Sandwick of the DEC sent an inspection report. The Town needs to start stockpiling topsoil for eventual land reclamation at this site. This area has always been a sand pit. Perhaps the town could start by using the ditch diggings, that need to be hauled somewhere anyway, to begin building up the soil in this area. The Town will need to purchase topsoil at some time. Town of Steuben also received one of these letters.
Art reminded the Town Board that he would be leaving on Monday for 10 days. Mark Hughes will be in charge during that time.
Art Hughes left the meeting at 8:55 after concluding Highway Business.
CODES: Ken Cutler submitted his monthly report for February and March. Scheidelman asked if Ken heard how Lester and Carol Fallon made out. Ken responded to a couple of FOIL requests, but he has heard nothing else.

He cited all the respective New York Codes and gave SAMPO a date in mid May to comply.
ZONING: Steve Hunter submitted his monthly report. Mr. Pierson from the Trenton Assembly Park has a meeting with his board at the end of this month. He is in favor of meeting with Ken, Steve and Mark to discuss how to handle future building permits within the Trenton Assembly Park. Hunter stated the Town might have to make a separate zoning district for the Park as it doesn’t fit any zoning the Town currently has. Mark Nimey’s sign issue is back in negotiations with the Planning Board. Lee Broomfield’s storage containers still have not been moved to comply with zoning requirements. Steve Hunter is citing him for this violation. A letter is going out April 13, 2006.

Scheidelman reported that he discovered the driveway taped and all entrances completely closed off as of last Sunday. Smith assured Storsberg that we all consider this a serious case. He feels the Game Club did the right thing by closing the rifle range. The Board will watch carefully how the Game Club proceeds from here. Steve Hunter added this was the first time he has been asked to act on the matter. Scheidelman explained to Storsberg that once Counsel becomes involved the Town would respond through Counsel as well. The Trenton Fish and Game Club told Scheidelman they would not re-open the range until it could be done safely and they would come to the Board with a solution to the problem before re-opening.
OUTDOOR WOOD BOILERS: P. Benson requested a copy of the Planning Boards latest proposal for Outdoor Wood Boilers. Scheidelman gave her a copy. She again stated her concerns for the environment and the health of the residents. Benson stated the Mission of Town of Trenton is to protect the environment and the proposal does not support this.
