The Zoning Board of Appeals meeting starts at 6:00 PM- followed by the Virgil Planning Board at 7:00PM. The meetings and public hearings are being held to consider the following application: The Applicant and owner Erin Farley will appear before the Virgil Planning board for an application for a minor subdivision site plan review to split tax Map# 126.00-09-03.000 into two lots, if she is granted a variance from the Virgil Zoning Board of Appeals. The applicant wishes to divide an 11.12-acre parcel into two separate parcels. One parcel will be approximately a 5.52-acre parcel with 264' of road frontage and the other will be approximately a 5.6 acres parcel with 265' of road frontage.

Persons wishing to speak may do so in person, by attorney, or by another representative. Communications in writing in relation thereto may be filed ahead of time with the Board or at such hearings. APPLICANT ERIN FARLEY stated that the variance was approved by the Zoning Board of Appeals. The zoning law was changed to allow an average road frontage of 250’, but the average minimum width size was not changed from 350’ when the Zoning Law was updated. CHRIS PECONE- 2301 RTE 215, a neighbor to the applicant, feels that the application shouldn’t have been approved until the law is changed. He feels this would have completed that process. He is also concerned about potentially having two houses built next to him. He is disappointed that the board didn’t wait for the zoning law to change. Mark Baranello asked three times if there were any other comments on this project, as there were none, Chairmen Baranello closed the Public Hearing at 7:03PM. Planning board chair mark Baranello opened the regular portion of the Planning Board meeting. OLD BUSINESS: DISCUSSION: Member Dale Tayor felt that the discrepancy of the road frontage size and the lot width size was an oversite of the Town Board. He said it doesn’t have anything to do with a nefarious reason why the area variance was approved. Mark Baranello stated that the lot width sizes were discussed years ago when the Comprehensive Plan was created.
