The Town of Nichols Zoning Board met on Tuesday, with one of the topics on the agenda being an electronic sign that would be used by Tioga Downs, and located along the entrance to the West River Road casino and visible to the highway.<\/p>\n

The sign was originally proposed at a height of 40-feet, but was revised to reflect a height of 30-feet in an attempt to gain the board\u2019s approval. The sign will be approximately 12×24 in dimension, and is double-sided.<\/p>\n

At the meeting on Tuesday, and after an outreach by Tioga Downs that was looking for support for the casino\u2019s request for approval of the sign, the zoning board voted to table the application until June.<\/p>\n

There were also a handful of area residents at the meeting, according to Town Councilman Bill Middleton, that were supportive of Tioga Downs\u2019 application for the sign.<\/p>\n

Middleton also shared that the vote will most likely come up sooner than June.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt can\u2019t be tabled for that long,\u201d said Middleton.<\/p>\n

It is unclear at this time as to why the zoning board has not yet offered approval for this sign, with some local lawmakers in Nichols stating that there was concern surrounding liability in the event that passersby on the main highway, Route 17 \/ 86, became distracted by it.<\/p>\n

The Town of Nichols appoints the zoning board in Nichols, and there are no regular meetings scheduled. Middleton anticipates that another meeting will be held in the near future, however, to put the sign and the variance required to rest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
