Business
Sketch Plan - Minor Subdivision– 7256 Iradell Rd, SBL 35.-1-8. The applicant, Hayden Brainard, is
proposing to subdivide a 9.4-acre parcel into three (3) lots in the A1 Zone. Two of the proposed lots are
flag lots, with 50’ of frontage each, and are approximately 3.9 and 3.1 acres in size, respectively. The
third lot is proposed at 2.3 acres in size with 560 feet of frontage.
Mr. Zepko reported that because an area of the property looks to be federal wetland, the County may
require a wetland delineation. He suggested Mr. Brainard return with a new map of the property that
includes a note about the wetland; he added that whomever purchases the lot should be made aware of
the wetland area. Mr. Zepko also suggested the new map show building envelopes, not sites, where
buildings could be constructed.
Board members asked questions about trees and driveways; Ms. Olson stressed the importance of
including the wetland note on the revised map. Mr. Blake recommended a hearing at the January 15th
Planning board meeting.
The motion to approve the sketch plan passed unanimously.
Sketch Plan – Major Subdivision – 3336 Podunk Rd, SBL 35.-1-12.2. The applicant, Joel Podkaminer, is
proposing to subdivide a 73-acre parcel into 6 lots located in an R1 and A1 zones.
Mr. Podkaminer informed the Board that he is contemplating retirement from the tree-farm business
and is looking to sell land that has contained much of his crop.
Mr. Zepko reported that the lots are compliant with both zoning districts and that Mr. Podkaminer’s
proposed sites do not disturb streams. Board members asked questions about a crossing for a culvert
and types of trees grown on the property. Mr. Podkaminer promised to supply stamped survey drawings
at the public hearing, which Mr. Blake said would be held at the January 15th meeting.
The motion to approve the sketch plan passed unanimously.
Mr. Blake reported that he will no longer be serving as chair of the Planning Board as he is moving to a
residence just over the Seneca County line.
Meeting adjourned at 8:01 pm.
