Planning Board Resolution No. 2023-018
Resolution of SEAR Determination for the Jacksonville Community Park Site Plan and Special
Permit Located at 3037 Swamp College Road, Town of Ulysses,Tax Parcel 25-.6-7
WHEREAS, the Planning Board finds the following:
1. The proposed action is in consideration of a site plan and special permit approval for the
Jacksonville Community Park located at 3037 Swamp College Road, Town of Ulysses, Tax
Parcel 25-.6-7, zoned P/R: Park/Recreation Zone; and
2. The project proposal is to construct improvements to the park including a new off-street
parking area and path in order to improve accessibility and use of the park; and
3. The proposal is an Unlisted Action under SEAR for which the Town of Ulysses Planning
Board is the lead agency in the environmental review; and
4. The Board of Zoning Appeals on August 16, 2023 granted an area variance to reduce the
100' minimum required stream buffer to 25' for the proposed ADA off-street parking area,
and granted an area variance to reduce 100' minimum required stream and wetland buffers
to 70' for an existing ADA compliant restroom; and
5. The Planning Board on October 3, 2023, has reviewed and accepted as adequate a
subdivision map entitled "Site Plan, Drawing No. Z1.01", prepared by CDN, dated September
6, 2023, and other application materials; and
6. The proposal should not create a material conflict with the 2009 land use plan or zoning
regulations of the P/R zone; and
7. The proposal will not result in a change in the use of the land and should not result in the
use intensity of the land; and
8. The proposal should not impair the character or quality of the existing community; and
9. The proposal will not have an impact on the environmental characteristics that caused the
establishment of a Critical Environmental Area; and
10. The proposal should not result in an adverse change in the existing level of traffic or affect
existing infrastructure for mass transit, biking, or walkways; and

11.The proposal should not cause a significant increase in the use of energy;
12.The proposal should not significantly impact existing water supplies or wastewater
treatment utilities; and
13. The proposal will not impair the character or quality of important historic, archaeological,
architectural or aesthetic resources; and
14. The proposal should not result in a significant adverse change to natural resources as the
existing parking area next to the wetland will be removed, the proposed parking area will be
limited to two to three off-street parking spaces which will be ADA compliant, and both the
parking area and the pathway will be constructed with permeable pavement which should
minimize potential impacts to both surface and ground water. The Board believes the
benefit to the community, to permit the construction of an ADA compliant parking area and
pathway in the park, will outweigh the potential detriment to the buffer of the intermittent
stream, and will ensure all community members have equal access to utilize the park; and
15. The proposal should not result in an increase in the potential for erosion, flooding or
drainage problems; and
16. The proposal should not create a hazard to environmental resources or human health.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING BOARD RESOLVES THE FOLLOWING:
That the Town of Ulysses Planning Board hereby makes a negative determination of
environmental significance in accordance with Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law
and 6 NYCRR Part 617 New York State Environmental Quality Review for the above referenced
action as proposed, based on the information in the Short Environmental Assessment Form,
an4efore, Environmental Impact Statement will not be required.
