[Adopted 8-14-1979]

of the Town located outside the Village of Brockport.
[Adopted 1-8-2002 by L.L. No. 1-2002]
This article shall be known and may be cited as "Local Law No. 1 of
the Year 2002, Changing the Terms of Office of the Members of the Town of
Clarkson Planning Board."
[Amended 12-12-2006 by L.L. No. 4-2006[1]]
The Town Board of the Town of Clarkson, through the power granted to
it under the appropriate provisions of the Town Law, has created a Planning
Board and has appointed members to said Board. The Planning Board consists
of five members. The Planning Board has been given certain powers such as
site plan review, adding or changing the Official Map of the Town, approval
of plats, granting of special permits in specific instances and changes in
the zoning conditions as part of plat approval. In order to provide the people
of the Town of Clarkson a more frequent opportunity to serve on such an important
Board in the Town of Clarkson, which Board affects the lives and property
of many residents, the Town Board has determined to exercise the authority
given to it under the laws of the State of New York to amend the Town Law
to reduce the duration of the terms during which a Planning Board member holds
office. It is the intent of this article to supersede the provisions of § 271,
Subdivisions 4 and 5, of the New York State Town Law.
