S " 14-16-2 ( 2/87) - 7c 617.21 SEAR Appendix A State Environmental Quality Review FULL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FORM Purpose: The full EAF is designed to help applicants and agencies determine, in an orderly manner, whether a project or action may be significant. The question of whether an action may be significant is not always easy to answer. Frequent- ly, there are aspects of a project that are subjective or unmeasureable . It is also understood that those who determine significance may have little or no formal knowledge of the environment or may be technically expert in environmental analysis . In addition , many who have knowledge in one particular area may not be aware of the broader concerns affecting the question of significance. . The full EAF is intended to provide a method whereby applicants and agencies can be assured that the determination process has been orderly, comprehensive in nature, yet flexible to allow introduction of information to fit a project or action . Full EAF Components: The full EAF is comprised of three parts: • Part 1 : Provides objective data and information about a given project and its site . By identifying basic project data , it assists a reviewer in the analysis that takes place in Parts 2 and 3 . . Part 2: Focuses on identifying the range of possible impacts that may occur from a project or action . It provides guidance as to whether an impact is likely to be considered small to moderate or whether it is a potentially- large impact. The form also identifies whether an impact can be mitigated or reduced . Part 3: If any impact in Part 2 is identified as potentially-large, then Part 3 is used to evaluate whether or not the impact is actually important. DETERMINATION OF SIGNIFICANCE — Type 1 and Unlisted Actions ® Identify the Portions of EM completed for this project: 8$ Part 1 ❑ Part 2 ❑ Part 3 Upon review of the information recorded on this EAF ( Parts 1 and 2 and 3 if appropriate ), and any other supporting information , and considering both the magitude and importance of each impact, it is reasonably determined by the lead agency that: . • A . The project will not result in any large and important impact(s) and , therefore, is one which will not have a Significant impact on the environment, therefore a negative declaration will be prepared. ❑ B . Although the project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect for this Unlisted Action because the mitigation measures described in PART 3 have been required , therefore a CONDITIONED negative declaration will be prepared . * O C. The project may result in one or more large and important impacts that may have a significant impact on the environment, therefore a positive declaration will be prepared. * A Conditioned Negative Declaration is only valid for Unlisted Actions Oakbrook.

It was brought up last time about fire protection and they town road goes up se far and the only utilities in the building will be electric and suspended gas heat for climate control . Cornell has its owr-i insurance and would be in the pr 'o' posed lease . The lease is not signed yet but it states what w ill be stored in the building . H elen Laing - they are adjoining property owners of Mark Stevens - She knows other people who also have adjoining property are not here tonight because they were not notified about this meeting or the previous meeting and are objecting to it . She could go around and get a lot of signatures objecting to this proposal . S upv SchLLg - asked Henry to put a public notice in the newspaper w hich is required and notified the surrounding neighbors that w ere here at the last meeting . if these people you are talking about heard about the first meeting and were opposed they could h ave taken a petition around for signatures against it . The Town w ent beyond the required obligation for notification of this meet i ng . Mark Stevens - the town will be getting a letter from Cornell that they anticipate on leasing the building for S years for bonersl Stores . Everything is palatalized , envelopes , computer paper , etc . The things for Johnson Art Museum naiiid be solid palatalized articles as whatever art things they would have to w eplace . He has been talking with Tom Kenney and they would probably use the building once a month between hhht to SPM . Cornell w i l l also install their own security system . Cornell is anticipating on leasing the buildings since they will be close to the university . E rica Evans , Turkey Hill Rd -° wanted two know what Marl +, would he if this lease did not go through because it is not set in concrete . Her husband talked to someone at Cornell and they said maybe and maybe not . They won ' t sign the lease until the buildings are finished . Mark Stevens - the buildings will not be started until the lease is signed . The first building is an example of what the other area will look like . If Cornell does not sign the lease then he w ill .just use the buildings and if he does not rent them he bnrne11 that would be his problem . Cornell said they would rent them and they are waiting for the boards approval . This is through jack Eckert and the letter he sent to the town . / ! TES 1 CM - 4 - 90 page 3 Erica Evans - the reason she is asking is because of some of the things he has done have not been so nice around there and would like to know what will happen if it does not go . Mark Stevens - did not think t h at Cornell would not write a letter to the town if they did not anticipate in using the buildings . D ebra Serog , 16 Oak Brook Dr - she questioned the reason for Mark n ot building any more houses there because there will not be any w ater and sewer . Supv Schuss - he has a permit because he has enough acreage where it would be possible to build another h 'DUse on that site . The ✓ eason for him building the storage sheds is because the housing market has dropped off . D ebra Ser'og - she has the first house that Mark built and she is w orried about the marketability and the market value of her house if she decide to sell . She was told by a real estate sales person that a bark appraiser makes their appraisal partly on location so even if she found someone willing to pay the price that she asked the bank may not . give the mortgage for it . She did call a bank appraiser who was familiar with the location of the property and asked what he would do in a case like this and was told to fight it . If there were more warehouses there it would tend to make the land more to the commercial side then the ✓ esidential side and you may have trouble in the future of getting a residential mortgage = Mark Stevens - did not feel that it would lower the property ✓ alue of her house since there is some distance you can not see the storage buildings from her house . D ebra Seraq - it might not lower the value of her property much , but when she bought the house it was listed that it would be adjacent to an exclusive subdivision , so now the exclusive subdivision is warehouses . z . 0 . Slater - a building permit was issued to build a house on this parcel which has not been surrendered at this time . You may issue an accessory storage building permit for private storage at any time and that the site plan conforms with the general ✓ equirements of the lot and as long as he has an acceptable print as far as the structure is concerned . In a special permit section that once a property it tied up in a review normal uses are not permitted to be used . He saw 00 reason in the ordinance why it could not be permitted . Mr , Stevens still has a building permit f or a house for that parcel , but will have to surrender it if the storage buildings will be allowed there . Supv Schuq - is this building going where it is blocked off become part of his other lot that is across a private drive . Does this preclude the required road frontage for the 12 . 5 acres ? / 9 3 . TB10 - ' 4- SO page 4 Z . U . Slater -- he thought that would be the case . Mark Stevens - the buildings are permitted there and he is asking if he can rent the two buildings _ He is trying to do it the legal w ay . He thought the board would have to consider the safety factor and the maintenance of the road . As far as the drainage study everything looks satisfactory . He would like to have some ✓ ental income to _justify the money he has put into building the road . Adam Regi_ nbcgen - there is a buffer of trees between his house and Marks house but he can see his house through 'Chose trees , but during the winter he can See his house very clearly so he feels that he will be able to see storage buildings . While there is a buffer it is by no means a total cover . You can also see the buildings from the road because the site is elevated . The issue related to the use of the land in the neighborhood b = th Ms Serog and he were induced into buying their property partially because they were led to believe that the property would be utilized for ✓ esidential uses only . Mark made the statement and lead them to believe that was gong to be the usage of the property . With Mark changing his mind and stating he could use it for another use would make the original statement that Mark made to him and Ms Mercy as wall as the statements made by his relator which were put in writing were misrepresentation . Under the laws of the State of New York can be considered to be in the category of an set of that one wouldn ' ,t consider necessarily within the law . Banded on his understanding of what he was told and his belief of what that would entail and based on he aerog statements as to w hat she was told and what she pas lead to believe and what he w as told by the relator that Bold him the property plus what his darghter i wife and several neighbors that he talked to understood the case to be was that they were a l l under the understanding and the belief which see not disputed for any length f time until . lust recently that the intention of that land would be for ✓ esidential purposes only . This charge of heart by Mr . Stevens is obviously due to an economic downturn in . the real estate market . This is not specifically e ground for making e representation into e misrepresentation . It is unfortunate for Mr . Stevens that the real estate market has somewhat declined . hewever4 it would be just as unfortunate for him and Ms derog to be put ' in a position where their property values would decline and aide he put under various other restrictions and otherwise be very u nhappy with the kind of fee that they received in the tent Under the laws in the State of New York and in the property law in general when a property owner conveys land to another and conveys it through a warranted deed which is in fact the way Mr . Stevens conveyed the property that groans that the new property o wner has the right to enjoy the property that he is given by the former property owner . This enjoyment should not be obstructed and the property owner also agrees not to change the original agreement at the time of sale . This is not stated in the contract bet is supported by case ,taw and is also supported by dif TB - 10 - 4 - 90 pape 5 w arrant and deed provision itself . The board is not bound by Mr . Stevens contracts , but he himself is bound by the contracts that he makes . The board does have the need to be informed about the past issuance of promises and should be a factor that is weighed in } our decision . You should also be aware that the specific intersection at Oak Brcoo-ok. Dr . has some concerns related to it because there are children living in that development and the school bus picks therm up at the . intersection . Even though the intersection is paved at the front in his view may not be sufficient safety factors that the town may want in order to be assured that a heavy truck would be able to stop at a safe distance from a school bus . Also the turning distance for; a truck w ould passible endanger children waiting at the intersection . It w as intended to be a residential neighborhood and was developed initially for that purpose . There is a marquis at the front of t he property which was there for the ercpnsnn purpose of advertising Oak Brook Estates and there was literature to that affect talking about an exclusive neighborhood . When he way; shown the property it looked like a house that was going to be the beginning of a development in an exclusive neighborhood and was priced accordingly . by all indications there did not seem to be any change of heart at the tune . He did not know Mr . Stevens reasons for doing this or his basis concerns of his civic ✓ esponsibilities , neighborhood , children in the neighborhood , no the environment . His feeling is that Mr . Stevens basic concerns evolve around economic concerns impacting directly on him . He thinks that aside from the fact he will benefit from this it is u nlikely that anyone else in the area will benefit from it . He feels that as a new property owner in the area he does have a ✓ ight to comment on the safety considerations , property value deterioration and considerations around promises that were kept and seemingly are not being met . There is a particular section in your own regulation asking you to look at the proposed plan and whether it 0111 cause depreciation of property , whether it will be objectionable by reasons of traffic , noise , vibration , dust , fumes , smoke , odor , fire , hazard , glare , flashing lights no d isposal of waste or sewage . In his view a commercial enterprise on top of the hill where everything is going to go dawn hill including trunkaa or anything that the wind may grab could create a hazard of any one of those varieties and there is no guarantee to any buffer that anything could stop any potential hazard of o ccurring . He thought it would be very expensive to absolutely insure that none of these hazards that we have to watch out for w ouldn ' t indeed occur at some point in time . He is totally o pposed to this request for thin permit . D ave Armstrong - wanted to know if the length of the town road wan 'going to he plowed and the turn around used this year . hnpv Schug - the town portion will be plowed and the turn around w i l l be used . Dave Armstrong - than it will be up to Mark to keep the rent of the road plowed to where he will he putting his buildings . 96 TB1C - 4 -- ' O page S iip 'r Schug - the town will install a sign stating where the town highway cads . Asked Dave in ao years how many vehicle accidents have there been with his trucks going out on to Rt 36E where Shew Furniture is located ? Dave Armstrong - there have been none except for maybe backing into a mailbox . U ebra Serog •- she did understand when she bought the house that it was zoned RD and she understood that she could have a home business . Her fiance is planning to have a woodwork shop in her garage . It will look completely the same from the outside and it w ill be just himself . There win 1 not be any signs because he has an office in Syracuse so it is not retail and thnr e will not be any traffic . Z . S . Slater - in the zoning ordinance carpentry is listed under h ome occupation so it would be an allowed '.rse . S upv Schug - asked Mr , Regenblgen since Mr . Stevens made the statement that he was using his h '_' me for his law office and also ✓ enting out space to a boarder . Adam Regenbtigen -° he is a lawyer but he does not advertise that h e has a law office in his house although he does ust' the space to work privately . He dos not have any clients that come to the house . There is a young man that is using one room in the house o n a temporary basis - Z . O . dater- - the definition of a family is permitted as long as t here is not any more than 3 unrelated people within the ✓ esidence4 so that would be an allowed use . Mark Stevens - if he rents to Cornell they would only do, it during business hours and the school bias gets there at 7 : 20AM and about 3o1Wr MpM . Erica Evans -- wanted to know if the Town Fc' ard had jurisdiction as to what can and can not be stored in these buildings ? S urpv Schug - they can make that as a condition on the special permit . If the condition is put on and there is any change in the storage or any new lessee Mr . Stevens would have to come back to the board and ask permi ss i Ors 't F_' store anything else . Usually the permits are issued to the one applicant and not transferable . C1nt Corrigan - Cornell is always looking for storage space and if this works out for them and they would like more buildings is there any plan to build more storage buildings on either of the lots . 1 '' / 9' 6 T810-4- 90 page 7 Mark Stevens - no , the lot would be filled and on the upper side of the road is very steep and there would no place to put any more buildings . B upv Schug - wanted to know what nark had planned to do with the ✓ est of the land . Mark Stevens - there is not much you can do because the side hill is the only thing left and if He gives up they house permit there w i l l be no more houses , but there is a camper there now and it is all that it could be used for . It is to high for any water and sewer and to far for electric and gas . H elen Lang - felt that all the work Mark is doing is degrading their property both their enjoyment and the marketability with t he construction noise and vibration and the aesthetic impact . It w ould be very difficult to show the house which is one reason they have not put it on the market . She appreciates Mr . Stevens d esire to get income from his property but she did not think that it was the Town Board ' s roll to provide him that income because h e has made bad decisions about this bind , This is something he should have thought of before he clear cut the property and started to develop it in a hodge podge manor . She would like some proof of the marketability of houses in that area . They look to the Town Board to protect them fr 'm''h negative impacts and hope that this can be done and not through personal loses . She is also concerned about ground water impact . Z . O . Slater - there will be a list of things that will be stored there and the list will he turned over to the fire chief . He has gone over of this proposal with Chief O ' Connor and there does not seem to be any problem . h im Walbridge -- in Georges letter he mentioned that he has asked you for a drainage study . Mark Stevens - it was hand delivered on ii -- 11 - bb from T G Miller . G eorge went over the calculations and could not sea any problem . There was no problem on the lower aide of the property but on the u pper site he suggested to put in cable rock and some ditches . All of the lots are seeded except one . P ie Walbridge - wanted to know if George larked over the old study that was for a subdivision or what was it for . G eorge Schlecht - it was e letter that Mark ' s engineer for the P lanning Board in which was stated the ditches would carry the d rainage . He thought it was at the time when Mark was considering a subdivision . 3 r 7 r TB1C -'- 4 -- SID page 8 Clrn lAalbridge --' was concerned about 3 large storage buildings that have a lot of impermeable surface and is different than a ✓ oad or for a house . Therefore she wondered about the runoff . G eorge Sch l er_ h t - Mark has installed a drainage ditch between the buildings and neighboring properties and did not see that as a problem for the small amount of additional roof area for the buildings . Mark has stated that if he received the permit he will take the necessary steps including the preparation of a drainage design . He offered to have his engineer prepare the drainage plan for this meeting but he told Mark that there were other issues that had to be addressed and didn ' t think it was fair to go to the expense to have it prepared at this time and then have it turret d down for other reasons . With the boards approval it could be done on the condition that he do a plan . rim Coorr i g an - wanted to know it it was normal to grant approval w ithout a drainage plan and wouldn ' t it . set a precedent . George Schlecht - at the town board level it may have not been d one before , but it is not uncommon for the planning board to grant approvals on the condition that drainage plans be submitted . S upv Schug -- if the permit was granted the drainage could be addressed prior to a building permit being issued . Mark Stevens -- with the lease there will be nothing stored outside . There will be no water or sewer facilities or outside lights - Closed publ is hearing . The board members went over the ERE Part F form and e copy is in minute book . There was a question about the number of storage buildings and Mark said that there will only he 2 buildings for vent and the other- one is for hie use only . h rpv Schu. b - question 88 A Site Description , total acreage of project area - if this lh . si acres is approved then the entire lot is dedicated only to the 3 buildings . Mark Stevens - that is correct . Clm Walbridge - question Oh roads buildings and other* paved surfaces . 5 acres . Mark Stevens - there is store and oil the same as the town read u p 650ft and the rest is his driveway . 17 TB16- 4 -94 page 9 ® Clm Roberts - question # 2 forested - wanted to know if there was any forest land there . Mark Stevens - yes there is . Clm Walbridge - you have answered N / A so how much is forest ? S upv Schug - it is not . described in that lot so there are no w oods except for the buffer around the edges of the parcel . Clm Walbridge - thought that it should be answered cleared land ✓ ather than meadow or brushland . Clm Walbridge - question # 3 she assumed this has been checked out o n the maps and George agrees that it is 100 per cent well drained . Question # 7 is not answered and should be answered no . Q uestion # 1 B Project Description a ) answer should be 24 . 81 acres Q uestion # 1 c ) answer should be 23 acres ; Question # 1 g ) should be answered 3 per week Clm Roberts - question # 1 j ) answer is 260ft and he wanted to know if the private drive is an extension of the public road and is the lot that we are talking about . Mark Stevens - yes , if the house was ever sold they would have to get a right of way to use the driveway or make a new driveway off the parcel that has more road frontage . S upv Schug a if you get a permit to build the buildings then you h ave to turn the permit in for building a house . Clm Walbridge - question # 4 her question is that you put fill w here you are going to put the buildings and you pretty much clear cut the woods above it and wondered where this would come into the EPF since you have answered none . Clm Robert s - question # 4 you are not removing any more ✓ egetat ion , but his quest ion is how much of the 24 acres was forest and how much has been clear cut ? Mark Stevens -- he would say half of the 24 acres . O lin Walbridge - is concerned about the clear cut area and the d isturbed land and wondered if the GfF would cover that Clm Roberts - is concerned that he would not like to see a precedent of developers doing things on the property before they come in for approval and then come in and tell the board they are n ot going to make and changes .

Any large impact must be evaluated in PART 3 to determine significance. Identifying an impact in column 2 simply asks that It be looked at further . • 'the Erransplei provided ate to assist the reviewer by showing types of impacts and wherever possible the threshold of magnitude that would trigger a response in column 2 . The examples are generally applicable throughout the. State and for most situations . But, for any specific project or site other examples and(or lower thresholds may be appropriate for a Potential Large Impact response, thus requiring evaluation in fart 3 . • the impacts of each project, on each site, in each locality, will vary. Therefore, the examples are illustrative and have been offered as guidance. They do not constitute an exhaustive list of impacts and thresholds to answer each question . • The number of examples per question does not indicate the importance of each question . • • In identifying Impacts, consider long tern. short term and mutative effects. Instructions (Read carefully) a . Answer each of the 19 questions in PART 2 . Answer Yes if there will he any impact . • b. Maybe answers should be considered as Yes answers. c . If answering Yes to a question then check the appropriate box ( column 1 or 2 ) to indicate the potential size of Ow impact.. If impact threshold equals or exceeds any example provided, check column 2 . If impact will occur but threshold is lower than example, check column 1 . d . If reviewer has doubt about size of the impact then consider the impact as potentially large and proceed to I' All 11 . e. If a potentially large impact checked in column 2 can be mitigated by change( s ) in the project to a small to moderate impact, also check the Yes box in column 3 .

I am personally NOT against storage warehouses , but I feel strong consideration must be given to the initial purpose of the site . 4 . Is the site for the storage warehouses adequately compacted to receive the weight of these buildings ? Or will the building foundation settle and crack , thus compromising the intended use . 5 .
