The meeting and public hearing is being held to consider the following application: The applicant and owner Richard Beebe owns land on West State Road tax Map #115.00-14-11.000 he is seeking a site plan review for a minor subdivision of a 37-acre lot. He would like to divide the lot into two lots, one with 408 ft of road frontage with 17 +/- acres and the second with 255 ft. of road frontage and 20 +/- acres. Mr. Beebe Spoke. He stated that he owns 37 acres with a barn and a well that he purchased several years ago. Matt Simpson would like to purchase the land. Mr. Beebe originally purchased the land to gain access to another parcel of land that he owns. He also thought that he might harvest the timber off that land. He would like to maintain a right of way to the back of his land. The subdivision will maintain 250’ of road frontage for both lots. The map he provided didn’t show the whole 37-acre parcel, only the subdivided lot. 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 7:06PM. 7:06 PM Planning Board Chair Mark Baranello opened the regular portion of the planning board meeting: Chairman Baranello discussed the requirements for the average lot with size. He stated that the average size needs to be at least 250’ feet, although the current law says 350’. Member Taylor stated that the average size of the back parcel is much wider. Discussion continued about the lot width size. There was a discussion on the method of calculation of the average lot size. Baranello stated that there is an error in the current Zoning law. The road frontage size was 350’ feet, but the minimum frontage was reduced to 250’, however the the average width size of a lot was not changed. The average remained at 350’ and the law still says 350’. Baranello stated that the Planning Board hopes that this is going to be corrected by the Town Board in November. Member Sara Hollenbeck pointed out that Mr. Bebee’s lots have an average lot width size of 375’. Baranello stated that Mr. Bebee will need a survey map that has the average width sizes calculated. Attorney Daniel Ellis-stated that the Town Board has a pending Local Law to correct the average width size to match the road frontage size. Member Taylor asked if this subdivision can be approved contingent upon the Town board passing the law on Nov. 9th. Zoning Officer Adam Brown stated there was no review from the county planning board. He said they can make it contingent on receiving County approval and that Mr. Beebe’s surveyor adds a second page with the remaining parcel showing the average width size.
