The North Salem Planning Board convened on May 7, 2025, at 7:30 PM in a hybrid format. The board reviewed several subdivision and site plan applications, a work session on proposed short-term rental regulations, and an update on small cell legislation. The meeting included a consent calendar, discussions on multiple properties, and a work session that resulted in a motion to refer the short-term rental code to the town board.
Connected to we should schedule the audio section of each meeting. She came, you know, and she's said we should have it as part of the agenda. Well I love it. So again. The only note I have is computer sound in USD audio. And not use system audio. So I think I'm good with speakers because I don't want to be same as system. Right. And um I certainly don't want to be. Logitech. So the only question is the HD audio driver for display audio or speakers, which is what I have it on. Okay. So are you ready? Yeah. Okay. Um I'm going to open the North Salem Planning Board meeting. Um we are still waiting for our planners, so I'm going to start with a discussion item I was going to do at the end of the meeting. And that's for my board members. Um, as some of you may know, the recreation committee for the town is going to undertake updating their recreation master plan. Um I've been attending their meetings to get them to understand what the process will be and to find out how much they on their own can help whatever planner they end up hiring or the town board hires for them to update their master plan. They have a pretty good one that was put together by Ferrandino and associates, and um it was updated when there was a thought that the town might enter into an agreement with Mountain Lakes Camp, um which fell by the wayside. So that's in the plan, and it has been I think 10 years. So they're due to update the plan. Um there are certain uh members of their committee that are very active and very involved, um, but they're a little concerned that maybe they don't have and and the actual the chair she cannot undertake this project for at least not for the moment um as an extra load. She works full-time, etc. So I'm wondering if one of you would might be interested in being a liaison to them and help to guide them through the process and kind of help them run the show because you've been through it for the crowdfalls. This is when we all step back. I mean, I will probably continue to go. But what happened when we were doing the town comprehensive plan? Charlotte, who was a member of our board, was our liaison, and I used to go to all the meetings, um, mainly just to give them background information. Say, you know, yeah, we have that, or we don't have that, or this is where you find that kind of thing. And Charlotte was actually a member that was there. So this is a little different. They might need organizational help. Um so think about it. If any of you are interested in taking on a little bit of a leadership role uh to help them uh on the assumption that uh she is checking with the co-chair to see how much he can do.
