The position that was blocked off <br /> was the east half of the property being <br /> requested. <br /> MOTION: With these findings, he moved that an EC-5 <br /> designation be granted. Seconded by Hoecke. <br /> Waddell stated that there was no evidence <br /> that there was a business; moreover we have <br /> no filings of any type to indicate that this <br /> person intended at any time to pay property <br /> tax on the car storage area or operating as a <br /> business. I suspect, but cannot prove, that <br /> it was, the intent of the owners at that time <br /> not to ask for an EC-5 designation because <br /> they did not want to pay additional taxes. <br /> Hoecke stated he disagreed with calling it no <br /> evidence. There is evidence in at least one <br /> affidavit by Herbert Arrington which says he <br /> needed a place to store cars and was planning <br /> to build a car repair shop there. I do not <br /> think it is a question of no evidence. <br /> Hamilton stated that the Planning Board did <br /> not have to deal with the questions regarding- <br /> taxes. <br /> VOTE: 7 in favor. <br /> 3 opposed (Waddell - reasons already stated; <br /> Gray - agreed with Waddell; <br /> Burklin - had seen evidence <br /> that cars were on the site, but <br /> would like to see more evidence <br /> and more directed questions than <br /> affidavits when the others <br /> were brought to the Board for <br /> proof of business taking place <br /> on the site. ) <br /> Adjournment time was reached. <br /> MOTION: Gray moved to extend the meeting for discussion of <br /> Public/Private Roads.
