He stated they were at the workshop last week. He needs guidance from the Board what way they want to go. It was his understanding that a law was going to be amended. Atty. Viglotti stated the Legislative Committee asked him to prepare a Local Law for tonight's meeting. The law that was proposed would allow the Planning Board to do away with off street parking if they felt there was sufficient on street parking. The law requires off street parking. When the Legislative Committee discussed this with him, what they were doing was giving the Planning Board the power that the Zoning. Board would have and that is to give a variance for a reqUirement of the law. He wrote to the applicant's attorney right before Christmas and told him after discussing this with the Legislative Committee, it was thought a variance should be applied for. It looks like that particular site doesn't have an issue with off street parking because there is sufficient parking on street. The attorney called him. Evidently the application was not made. Atty. Carolei stated they did not have enough time. Atty. Viglotti stated he got the letter the day before Christmas and you had to apply. Atty. Carolei stated he received the letter Tuesday of last week. When he got the letter is irrelevant to him. They want to get this resolved.
