F. Hill to conduct survey of Elderfields

Continued from Page 2 adds additional covenants to protect the preserve. Protections include the prevention of the sale of the property and aesthetic changes.

Gerzon said the deed would prevent a future sale of the property. This means that any sort of arrangement that transfers the property in any way, including leasing the property, would be prohibited.

The matters will be addressed again during the board’s July 11 meeting once the survey is complete.

The board of trustees also voted to ex- tend the permit duration for new residents to 18 months. The permit duration had previously been established at 12 months.

Rosenbaum said the complexity and size of new houses in the village, as well as issues in obtaining materials, makes projects difficult to execute in 12 months. He said this permit extension will hopefully speed up building permit processes.

The board introduced a local law that would allow certain violations to accrue daily, rather than weekly, based on the recommendation of the village’s code enforcer.

Rosenbaum said there have been recent instances in the village where people have been taking advantage of weekly fines, so bolstering them to a daily violation will hopefully deter the continued behavior.

The law would not concern all violations, but certain ones like issues of individuals parking cars on lawns or accruing debris on front yards.

The law will be addressed during a public hearing at the board of trustees’ next meeting, which will convene at 7:30 p.m. on July 10.
