Fleming going ahead with comprehensive plan

FLEMING -- The town of Fleming is moving forward with its comprehensive plan, which will be complete once zoning is addressed and a negative State Environmental Quality Review Act approved.

A special meeting was held Wednesday night to expedite a new local law establishing a moratorium on development in the Owasco Lake Watershed, maintaining the status quo as to all present uses in the watershed for a period of three months following the effective date of the adoption of the law.

During that time, no application for a major subdivision, PDD applications, or site plan development approval will be accepted by the town for properties located within the Watershed Region: the current Lakeshore District, and portions of R1, R2 and R3 residential districts, and portions of the agricultural district. The law also states that the moratorium established by this local law can be extended for another three months.
