The applicant had submitted the receipts from the certified mail.

Mr. Izzo stated this application had been sent to the Greene County Planning Board as part of the 239 Review requirements .The County did respond and indicated that the County Planning Board did not have a quorum therefore the County made no recommendations. Also this application was sent to the Town of Cairo since the parcel is on the Border line of the Town of Catskill and the Town of Cairo, but the Town of Cairo has not responded.

Mr. Izzo asked if there are any questions or comments regarding SUP-1-2017.

Warren Heart is the Director of Economic Development for Greene County. Mr. Heart stated he had reviewed the application and did have an opportunity to speak with the applicant. The County did not have a Quorum and could not take action but the staff report did want to recommend an approval for this application. He would like to speak in favor of this application on behalf of his office of Economic and Development and Tourism and Planning. Just a couple thoughts he wanted to share and have put into the record. He believes this will be a beneficial use for the County and is consistent with the efforts his office makes towards hunting, fishing, shooting and sportsmen in this County. The Greene County Sportsmen Federation works hard to promote supporting activities in the County that also advertises to attract hunting and fishing and sportsmen. This area has that upstate culture, with land that allows activities such as this use to take place .It will be an economic benefit to the County, its an economic opportunity for a facility like this , which he understands there are not may facilities like this in the North East and has the potential to attract users and the results of people coming to the County using the facilities , staying at hotels and buying local services. He believes there is a unique opportunity for a business to come in and grow into something that could be an economic benefit to the County.

There were no other questions or comments.
