Information/discussion of a possible grocery store at the intersection on Hwy 12/67, Ken Micheloni—tabled by P&Z, no action taken b. Consider a position on the proposed construction of the Highway 12 four-lane through the Town of LaGrange—P&Z recommends that the Town’s position on the jurisdictional map (which shows the 4 lane highway cutting across the Town of LaGrange and there is an option that widens the current Highway 12 through the Town and makes it 4 lane) that both options should remain open and continue with the Highway map as it has been constructed. Motion to have a Representative of the Town Board at the meeting on August 13, 2009 with the jurisdictional highway committee leaving the 4-lane (the red line) option on the jurisdictional map and the second option of widening Highway 12 both remain options and be considered when the construction is close at hand (Bromley/Schramm) Much discussion ensued, Town’s people only want Town to endorse the “red line” option which is the original option placed on the map back in the 1960’s. There is a petition from the Towns people to have the red line option be the only option for a 4-lane highway through the Town of LaGrange. Motion is withdrawn by Supervisor Bromley and Supervisor Schramm concurs. Motion that the Town rep at the jurisdictional Highway meeting advocate the retention of the red line 4 lane be the only expansion of Highway 12 as a four lane road through the Town of LaGrange and oppose the expansion of Highway 12 in its current bed as it lies (Bromley/Schramm) Motion carries unanimously. c.
