Public Hearing: John Hopple proposes to subdivide a single lot at the property located at 3300
Perry City Road (Tax Map # 26.-3-12). The property is approximately 96.91 acres in size and is
located in the Agricultural/Rural Zone (AR). The proposed lot is approximately 4.03 acres in size
with about 465 feet of frontage on Perry City Road
Mr. Hopple told the Board he and his wife were looking to build further back from the road on
their property. We would, he explained, like to be surrounded by “the natural beauty of the
land.” He noted that his septic field plan has already been approved by the Tompkins County
Health Department and he presented plans to Board members.
After confirming that wetlands on the property would not be affected by the project, Board
members unanimously approved the following negative SEQR determination:
Town of Ulysses Planning Board
Resolution # 5 (2021) for SEQR Negative Determination:
3300 Perry City Road, Tax Parcel Number 26.-2-12
May 18, 2021
WHEREAS:
1. This is in consideration of a Minor Subdivision located at 3300 Perry City Road, Tax Parcel
Number 26.-2-12, for the creation of two lots. The proposed project is located on an ~96.9-acre
parcel in the Agricultural (AR) Zone.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED:
That after careful consideration of the Short Environmental Assessment Form and evaluation of
the possible impacts submitted by staff, the Town of Ulysses Planning Board hereby determines
that:
1. the action is Unlisted and will act as Lead Agency in an uncoordinated environmental review
with respect to the project; and
2. both agricultural and residential uses are permitted under zoning and neither an increase in
traffic nor a significant increase in residential density are anticipated. As land disturbance for
the new home will be minimal, there will be little to no potential impacts to surface or
subsurface water and will not result in significant adverse environmental impacts. The Board
makes a negative determination of environmental significance for the reasons set forth in the
Environmental Assessment Form Parts 2 and 3 referenced above, in accordance with the New
York State Environmental Quality Review Act for the above referenced action as proposed, and
therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement will not be required.
Motion made: Ms. Schneider
Seconded: Mr. Bent
