***** CADY ZONING UPDATE *****

It is my pleasure to bring you some very good news today. Last night, the Town Board decided to move ahead with a town referendum on zoning in Cady. Although the exact wording of the referendum has not yet been determined, it will ask something like "Should the Town of Cady continue to develop a zoning ordinance?" The choices will be "YES" or "NO" and should be on the ballot for the November 2018 election.

Chairman Mike Tully has publicly stated that he will abide by the results of the referendum. However, supervisors Bob Klanderman and Jim Mikla stated that they may not. They said that they would wait to see the results before deciding. Since they have consistently supported the Title 13 zoning ordinance, it my expectation that they would only intend to abide by the results of the referendum if the people of Cady vote "YES" for zoning. If the people of Cady vote to retain their existing property rights and say "NO" to zoning, the town supervisors may not be willing to abide by the results. Remember, ultimately zoning in Cady will be up to these three individuals, and if two out of three board members decide to implement zoning against our wishes, the use of our private properties will wind up under their control.

It has been my goal all along to have the residents of Cady make our own informed decision as to whether or not to surrender our property rights and submit ourselves to a zoning ordinance. This planned referendum is a rare and incredible opportunity for the people of Cady to clearly make our position known to our town government. Let's not let this opportunity pass us by. Spread the word to all of your friends and neighbors in Cady.


Thank you for your continued interest and support. Together, we can keep Cady free.
