Public hearing scheduled on Town Law regulating solar farm development and a small change in code enforcement office hours approved
By John T. Ryan
The Peru Town Board meeting of Monday, August 10th, was a relatively brief 33-minute meeting.
The Board:
- Approved changing Code Enforcement office hours on days when either Zoning Board of Appeals or Planning Board meetings are scheduled. The office will be open from 11:30 a.m. until the 7 p.m. meetings. These hours better coordinate with board meetings and employee work hours.
- Scheduled a public hearing on a local law to regulate solar farm development for 5:45 p.m. on Monday, September 14th.
- Met with Northern Blacktopping representative Corey Trombley regarding the color and design of the plaza area in front of the Town Hall. Northern Blacktopping won the bid to pave the area. Trombley said the asphalt coloring should be bright for at least six years and remain attractive for several years after that. The pavers that were installed only six years ago have deteriorated badly.
In other items:
Water Sewer Superintendent Courtney Tetrault reported that recent high winds dislodged Sprint Corporation’s antenna from the water tower. The Town realizes approximately $30,000 annually by leasing antenna space on the water tower.
Tetrault’s staff installed an additional light at the Sullivan Park skating rink.
Installation of an emergency generator at the Town Hall is awaiting the arrival of an NYSEG gas engineer.
NYSEG has not indicated when it will be installing the hamlet’s new 4k LED street lights.
