NEW BOARD TAKES OVER REVITALIZATION OF DOWNTOWN HERKIMER

October 3, 2019:
The Planning Board presented a request to have General Code (see http://www.generalcode.com/) review the existing Zoning and Codes regulations to provide a review of how they compare to NYS standards and those of similar municipalities - note that Ilion uses General Code (or eCode360) to manage their regulations (see PDF file below).

The Board of Trustees approved this activity/review and Adam Hutchinson of the Planning Board is coordinating this activity. Once reviewed, General Code will provide a proposal for revising the Zoning and Code regulations - which would also include adding the Retail Corridor I, Retail Corridor II, and Retail Corridor III to the Village Zoning profile.

September, 2019:
Adam Hutchinson of the Planning Board scanned the current Zoning Ordinance to provide to the contact at General Code (http://www.generalcode.com/) to begin the review of Herkimer's current profile. A request of the Board of Trustees has also been made to have General Code review the below linked PDF, as well as other non-scanned ordinances and regulations in paper form in the Village Clerk's office.

October's first BoT meeting is scheduled to gain approval.

As of February 25, 2019: The Planning Board has undergone numerous attempts to get the Zoning Ordinance development completed for the new Retail Corridor (RC1, RC2, and RC3) as per the Master Plan 2020 document.

To date, the Village Administration has not been effective at reviewing, establishing public review, and approving of the Retail Corridor 3 Zoning Ordinance. The Planning Board has submitted the RC3 Zoning Ordinance (see Final Draft link below) and gone through various alternations - but there has been no follow-up via the Administration to date.

On April 16, 2018 the Village Planning Board submitted the Master Plan (Final Draft) to the Board of Trustees as their regularly scheduled meeting. Chairman Brion Carroll, with support from Planning Board members Becky Cristman and Chris Lotey, requested that the Village Board of Trustees review the draft plan; post a notice in a local publication of its availability for public review; and schedule a public hearing in early May to get Board sign off on the Master Plan 2020 document.
