ZONING OFFICER'S REPORT
DATE: December 3, 2024
TO: VILLAGE OF CAYUGA HEIGHTS PLANNING BOARD
FROM: Brent A. Cross, Zoning Officer
RE: 634 Highland Road
REPORT: An application to subdivide the existing lot at the above referenced address, has been received. The proposal to
subdivide parcel A (vacant lot) off from the existing parcel B (including existing house) is considered a minor
subdivision according to the Village of Cayuga Heights Zoning Ordinance Section 305-122.A. The applicant is
seeking approval of the subdivision for purposes of selling the property to a future homeowner/builder. The Planning
Board accepted the Survey Map by TG Miller PC, dated 11/4/24 as a preliminary subdivision plat for this project
during their November meeting.
A public hearing has been scheduled for 7:10 pm on December 16m, 2024 at Village Hall, 836 Hanshaw Road to seek
public comments on the project for purposes of completing a NYS SEQR for potential environmental impacts before
issuing final approval. This meeting is also available virtually at cavu2a-heiizhts.nv.us/village-Qovernment/nlannine-board/
I have done a preliminary review of the dimensional aspects of the proposed division line for purposes of determining
the following:
Parcel B: with existing house:
-lot size = 151.49' wide x 160' deep x 161.57' road frontage (compliant)
-front yard setback 70' > 25' (compliant)
-side yard setbacks = 170' south > 15' (compliant) & 9.7' north (grandfathered)
-rear yard setback = 30.8' > 15' (compliant)
-lot coverage = 5.3% < 12% (compliant)
Parcel A: vacant lot:
-lot size = 131.66' average width x 150.75' average depth x 121.90' frontage (compliant)
-lot shape calculations = 16 area/perimeter2 = 1 > 0.4 (OK); perimeter2/area = 16 < 22 (OK)
-setbacks, lot coverage, etc to be determined at time of SPR. (compliance to be determined)
-setback for stream buffer to be 20' from top of embankment (to be determined at SPR)
-slope maximum = 13.33% < 15% (no restricted building area due to slope)
The map also shows the approximate location of a sewer easement for a Village of Cayuga Heights sewer main
along/near the south boundary line. It has been determined that the easement agreement reserves the minimum
feasible width for maintenance and repairs. Minimum feasible width to be determined by DPW at time of the SPR.
The following properties are located within 200' of the applicant's property, and therefore will receive a copy of this
