A.
It is important for neighbors to know when the Board of Appeals, the Planning Board or the Town Board will hear and discuss certain applications regarding the use or improvement of real property. Prior to the enactment of this chapter, notice of such requests was given by mail, by publication in the newspaper and/or by posting on the Town's website. While these means of notification are more than what New York State law requires, the Town Board has determined that additional notice in the form of a sign posted upon the subject property will make the Town's notification procedures more effective and comprehensive. This additional means of notification will increase awareness and will afford more people in the community an opportunity to participate in the decisionmaking process.
B.
It also is important for certain neighbors of properties where substantial demolition is about to occur to be notified by mail of the impending demolition and for the general public to be notified through the posting of an appropriate sign.
