Kate Seckinger is reporting in The Daily Mail following a very short public hearing, Mon., Oct. 5, the Cairo Town Board voted again to adopt its first-ever zoning law. The board's original vote was taken Aug. 20, but it was later nullified due to a legal technical error. Attorneys John Lyons and Tal Rappleyea apologized last month for the mistake they made. Lyons said they failed to provide timely notice of the board’s public hearing to bordering towns, which required the second hearing be held and a second vote taken. “Hopefully, this is it,” Cairo Town Supervisor Ted Banta said Tue., Oct. 6. “We believe we’ve followed all the procedures and complied with all the rules. Zoning is finally passed, and we’re happy about that because we believe it is what’s the best for the town.” The issues raised during the public comment session this time around were repeats of what the board heard on previous occasions, including concerns that the law would prevent businesses from expanding. Other residents requested a town board member abstain from voting on the measure due to a conflict of interest. County Legislature candidate Michael Camadine said the new law will "restrict businesses," and he told the board that he has heard "great reservations about this zoning law from many people." Banta said while some residents raised concerns about the zoning law, they do not represent the majority. “The majority of people in this town want zoning,” he said. The new law goes into effect December 1. Read the full story in The Daily Mail.
