And what we want to do is focus on the planning that we\u2019re doing,\u201d Town Supervisor Jenn Townsend said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Townsend said the pause would give both the town and developers time to plan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s fair to developers coming in and fair to the residents who live there to make sure that we\u2019re very clear about what it is we\u2019re looking for. So a moratorium makes sense because having a very brief pause there, six month moratorium, just while we finish our planning, we think is a smart way to, approach the issue,\u201d Townsend said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One project that could be affected is the proposed redevelopment of the Burgundy Basin Inn into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whec.com\/top-news\/traffic-worries-dominate-discussion-around-former-wedding-venue-plans-to-convert-to-apartment-complex\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.whec.com\/top-news\/traffic-worries-dominate-discussion-around-former-wedding-venue-plans-to-convert-to-apartment-complex\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">about 200 apartments<\/a> and townhomes. Some neighbors have opposed the project, citing traffic and safety concerns, and are calling for a longer pause.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI advocate that you take one year on this moratorium because you tell me if you\u2019re going to go through this 22 pages and come up with a plan in less than a year,\u201d Elmer Dustman said, who lives near the proposed development.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">News10NBC reached out to the Burgundy Basin Inn owners but did not hear back. The next public hearing on the proposed moratorium is scheduled for Nov. 2, the day before Election Day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PERINTON, N.Y. \u2014 Perinton leaders are considering a six-month pause on large housing developments in parts of the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":310271,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[136,138,137],"class_list":["post-310270","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-erie","tag-erie","tag-erie-headlines","tag-erie-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/310270","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=310270"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/310270\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/310271"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=310270"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=310270"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=310270"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
