ELDRED, NY — The River Reporter erroneously reported the subject of the Town of Highland Public Hearing at 6:45 on February 9, prior to the regular meeting of the town board. The public hearing meeting is not meant to address compressor stations, or other natural gas infrastructure.

Instead, the public hearing meeting is to allow public comments on suggested changes to the zoning code through the following recommendations from the zoning rewrite committee: remove Planned Unit Development, remove multi-family housing from all R-2 and R-1, allow multi-family housing of two and three units in the Hamlet districts; remove Cluster Subdivision as an allowable use; change the minimum lot size in the R2 District from three to five acres; allow educational uses in the hamlet districts; remove “boarding houses,” “hotel,” and “motel” from the list of uses in the R-2 district; and make a needed correction to the zoning section regarding the need for site plans. These are the topics that will be open for public comment at the public hearing on February 9. Any resident may comment on any matter during the public comment portion of the regular meeting of the town board, which will begin at 7 p.m. immediately following the public hearing.
