other application materials; conditional on the deed restriction prohibiting any further
subdivision of the properties; and
Whereas, the requested area variance is an Unlisted action under the Code, Rules, and
Regulations of the State of New York Title 6, Part 617 (SEQR) for which the Town of Ulysses
Board of Zoning Appeals has reviewed a Short Environmental Assessment Form in a n
uncoordinated environmental review; and
