® 8 * 00 PM , Finger Lakes Stone, 33 Quarry Road .
Oers reads,
"bile Finger Lakes Stone Company requests use variance authority to construct a 40 ' X 50 ' (2000
sq . feet) building to house a rock saw. Finger Lakes Stone does not provide substantial detail but
I believe this saw will eventually replace an existing sawn.
Finger Lakes Stone has existed as a Quarry business since prior to 1900 and is well know For its
supply of blue stone , much of which was used in the construction of many buildings at Cornell
University .
in 1995 , Finger Lakes Stone applied for and was granted authority to begin quarrying on a new
section (See attached Notice of Decision) expanding the operation .
Finger Lakes Stone is located within a KB Zoning district . RB Zones do not permit quarrying .
However, Finger Lakes Stone predates the current district, 1988 , regulations . See Article 17,
® ( Pre Existing Non-Conforming Use) .
To expand the saw operation and construct a building to house it, it would appear under the
provisions of Article 17 Section 701 paragraph (2) ; such expansion is subject to a variance
granted by the ZBA . All other requirements are found to be in conformance .
Being a use variance , it is subject to both SEQR and 239 L& NI Review, if you determine any
potential negative impact, a long form SE:.QR will become necessary prior to any granting
consideration . Included is a short form part 1 for initial review.
Applicant-Jim Holbart- Oiw-ier of Finger Lakes, what we ivant to do is we are based with our
existing IOfool saw, is aged its not capably of holding the tolerances of today 's market. So we
are left with options, do we dump a bunch of money into that sa %v to bring it up to Spec ? Other
options are to come up l+-lilh a ►hire smv ? Its very efficient and quiet, it will take a larger rock that
will make less hauling, fewer trucks and less gas .for us. The current stm will be taken out of
service at night time totally and we are entertaining selling it and taking it off the property or
just using it like once a dad-.
Oers : Any canments from those here
David Ostroph gives ZB members a page of 5 requests
i request that the zoning hoard of Appeals ensures that the Finger Lakes Stone Quarry includes
® the required documentat)� evidence proving financial hardship in support of its application
which, as of last ii� eek,, was not included in their application that when 1 came to the Town Hall,
ZBA 09-04-2007
Page 8 of 17
Further, given that the granting qf a variance requires the board to determine that the essential
character of the neighborhood not be changed, 1 ask that the board request additional
information from the quarry in support of its application.
® There are two kinds of quarry-related truck tr(4ftc occurring on Quarry Rd: 1) trucks bringing
fill to reclaim a .s•ection of an old quarry owned by Buzz Dolple not part of the Finger Lakes
,Stone Co and 2) trucks importing stone and taking mvay stone fronn the quarry. The neighbors
experience is that the importing of stone has resulted in a dramatic increase in truck traffic since
the last variance ivas granted in 1995 when 111r. 1lolbart took over the quari)tl. The quarry owner
denies this, 1 request that the board askfor the following documentary evidence :
1 ) Accounting or other verifiable records that show the amount of stone imported for the
_years 1993 and 2006 .
2 ) Accounting or other verifiable records for the same periods of time that showing the truck
traffic to and from the quarry . Otherwise its just neighbors impressions
In Addition, given the effect that an expanded change in production would have on the
peace or lack thereof within the surrounding residential community , it would be useful
for the board to request information on :
3 ) How many stone cuttings saws the quarry currently owns , and if they are all housed in
the current building (if it has only one saw, the addition of a second saw automatically
doubles the stone cutting capacity . )
4) How many stone cutting saws the proposed 40 X 50 foot building could potentially house
5 ) Why the former quarry owner (if he is present tonight) never approached the Zoning
Board of Appeals with in 1994 with a request for a change in hours of operation to 24
hours a day , which is currently what the operation of Finger Lakes Stone Co . is doing .
® Audience- Question to Mr. Holbart, how ntrich water will the samv use gallon per minute, will
you use recycled or well ?
Nlr. Holbart answers- we have a recirculation system the existing saw uses approx. 30- 45
gallons a minute the water saw will use 10- 15 gallons per min.
Audience- do you get the water fi-orrl a we11?
Nlr . 1•iolbart- we recirculation our own ivater, any water that needs to get replenished goes
through a filter system, water front the saws goes thru a series of ponds and comes back to the
shop. This actually requires 25-30 gallons of ivater per min less than the current smv.
OerN to audience please keep the discussion to the board then applicant tivill have a chance to
answer.
Buzz Dolple- My family and myself have owned the quarry since 19501 sold to Mr. Holbart in
2000, 1 have been before the ZBA rrlany times, tonight I 'm here cis a resident I probable live
® closer to the Quarry then anyone, and knoiving the quarry business as I do since ] have ran it for
® 30 years, I think what Air. Holbart is asking is a net gain, its my understanding that they are
ZBA 09-04-2007
page 9or17
going to phase out the old samw and replace it with a saw that I know is quieter, in a building that
is better insulated and will contain the noise. In response to the truck trcjfic and presenting
things to the board, there are town records where 1-lolbar•t and I have come to the front dealing
with the issues of importing stone dealing with the hours of operation issues of' truck traffic, all
® taking place several years ago. A"othing that I can see is happening at Finger Lakes Stone other
then technologic changes in production. Nothing has really changed, they fabricate, they quarry,
they fabricate, they sell stone.
I know for a fact that my father ran the iwire saw 24 hours a day, I can name the night shift crew,
it happened. Also Finger Lakes Stone has all necessary permits. The property across the street is
being reclaimed there are trucks there is an end in sight they will be reclaimed. Most of the truck
iraffic that is coming up and down Quarry road is because of that. 1 have zero interest invested
in Finger lakes Stone; I 'm a customer that 's it. I have a B & 8 across the street and I 'm
concerned with the noise. I believe this is a positive step forward in approving this request to
change from o.ndated noisy saw to a new modern quieter saw.
David Ostroph ; l have been a resident since. the 1960 's and the mill has not rain 24 hrs. 4Ve have
never had a complaint as to stone canting into the night until :1lr . Holbart took over the mill.
I world ask you to look at the 6 point (Ostroph gave a copy to ZBA members of Key
Consideration regarding the FLS application)
Point #6 says If the owner were interested solely in adding a replacement saw, the new saw
could be installed in the existing building by renovating the structure, including adding heavier
insulation so that the power sows would not be heard by residents throughout the night, The
proposed new building., measuring 40 feet by 50 .feet, could presumably hold additional stone
cutting sawws and thereby allow firrther expansion of the quarry. Arad there would be no need for
o variance at all. If it were really a replacement saw and no decision would need to be made, if
we have 2 saws going 1 presume it ~will double the capacity. It will increase the traffic, and 1 have
® spoken to 15 of our neighbors and there is a concern, ive are not saying we opposed to the
variance we come here to listen to the quarry arid hear what they have to say, but we are
certainly concerned, with the increase in traffic importing stone. I 'm 15 feet from the road and 1
cant be on the phone because of' the noise and neighbor .A1r. Vrana lived on Ellis Hollow Rd.
since 1951 and he cant have his windows open. 1 don 't think a variance would be required if the
new.. saw would be going to the existing building and the old saw being retired,
Henry - That is trace if FLS were replacing (in old saw with a new sa►v. Since its not simply
replacing it, by our definition it 's an expansion it may be a temporary expansion but until the old
saiv is removed there. is 2 saws.
Holbart - 41 hours of operation, I will submit payroll records showing when workers start, the
earliest 2 or 3 guys start at 5: 30 AM the rest come in at 6: 30 or 7: 00 AM,, the saws runs at night
for o portion of the night there are 2 of them, one being the noisy one that I want to replace. I
Will show all hauling slips that show the number of* trucks, clay week or year iwhatever. Records
prior to 20001 don 't have access to them we bought company in ,\'ov. of 2000 not 1994. You are
correct that we do not need o permit, the old wire saw that 1 want to replace I could part outside
in yard and run with no building around. Of course the reason to place saw in building is for the
weather and to deaden the noise. When the new building is done I would say you probably wont
ZBA 09-04-2007
Page 10 of 17
be able to hear the saw run, As for putting new saw in existing building it simply wont fit, it
would take so much to make older building frl the new sa ►v that it wouldn 't make sense
financially. This wire saw has never been used.for Bluestone, so we want to keep the other saw
till ive work the kinks and bugs out, again we can just part it outside with no building and it will
® be noise Hours of operations there are not people there 24- 7 there are not trucks unloading at
4 : 00 AM I ~would offer a 55, 000 reward to someone with a video camera to record this
happening as if this is happening, then someone is .stealing and 1 want to know this. Prior to
20001 can 't comment, as• I didn 't own the company. Trucks are not conning till 6: 30 because no
one is there to unload it. Trucks are not coming in the middle of the night.
lion Hartman -1 'm on the west side of the road and I 'm very privy to what 's going on. There are
2 things that need to be addressed. Since Finger Lakes started there have been 2 big changes,
first the business has changed the ~way it does business, All of the granting of these variances
have changed they were given when it iwas a ruining company now its an importing company not
a mining company it takes stone from other places and brings it in. The second thing that has
changed is the neighborhood, when 1 bought my home in 1997, 1 talked with Xfr. Dolple about
the business and the process and what ivas going to happen said it would take a couple of years
Dun IIartinan -this is important information because if the business has changed and you gave
variances to this business for a mining aspect and its no longer a ruining business then you have
to re -look at this business and when the neighborhood is changing its your responsibility to look
our for the people tiuho build houses there , I disagree with Mr. Holbarl that nothing is being done
at FL,S at 41, 00 A:114 iwhere just recently I ►vas awaken by the backing noises of trucks into the
Quarry. The noise lasted about 45 min. This happens all day long and no ►v that I 'm retired I
hoot, this all day and into the night. So its not .something that happens once in a while. Also all
you have to do is drive down the road after a rain and you .slide down the road because of maid.
M`r. Dolple use to have brush of some kind and they would clean off the road, now we never• .see
that. I don 't believe the neighborhood is well served by the aniount of truck tralfrc.
Audience-1vhy cant the new sawfilt into the old building, isn 't the scan smaller?
ftolbart- no it 's just a whole dijferent configuration.
Quinn - 6f'hat is the financial expediency- oj' obtaining this new saw is this going to be a major-
change in your business ? JeVhat 's driving you to buy this new saw ?
Holbart- The existing saw is ageing and isn 't capable of holding the tolerance of, our industry
has changed a lot, with. To bring the old saw rip to speed would be an expensive process and
would still be noisy. .Just not worth it. The newer saw, is netiv, quieter and asses less electrich);
less water, produces the product with less of a curve. Less waste, larger pieces con be pint into it
less set tip time less cost al I around. The investment to work on the old saw would be about 40-
01housand where the neiw saw is $ 140, 000 new. It 's just more efficient and quieter,
John Lennon - has o couple of concerns. Yfrhere 1 would appreciate a quieter saw if this is the
great, one concern is that a more c�rcient saw will mean more business causing more truck
traffic. Another concern is our ►yell water is extremely silted, the gunk is the same color of the
ZBA 09-04e,2007
Page I of 17
stone and we have to filter it. 1 fear that more business will metal more silt. Finally the reasons
that FLS cannot fit the new saw, into the old building have been that it would look goofy and it
would cost a lot to 171 it. These don 't sound to me to be pressing concerns. !-ire could do this
without variances it may cost a little bit more money but it would mean a great deal to the
residents in the. neighborhood. Ij' they could find a way to fix. tip the old building and to swap out
SOWS,
Don Bartel-I would encourage the board to request detailed documents that were requested in
the beginning of the hearing. Since there are very little in forms of documentation in terms of
where the building will be sited the comparative economics. Also my concerns are for the
increased changes in the neighborhood
Tsui Nlei Oulee- My concern is that the replacement will be a lot nicer then the addition we
have no control over the addition, but this will make a lot bigger operation.
Adrian Lewis - I support some of the concerns that have been raised, like traffic, noise and
concern over the quality of the ivater. The principal concern is that its hard not to see this
application for a variance as an expansion of business and it may be a temporary expansion but
it is hard to take that on trust and it very hard to see how the boated could go back on that and
enforce the fact that it is a temporary expansion. I understand what Finger Lakes is saying and it
would be great to have a quieter .saw, but we just don '! want to see the expansion.
® Buzz Dolple- Question to Attorney Marcus- Finger Lakes Stone is Grandfathered, Explain to me
what that means, does it mean, 1 know, it means that the business can continue, doe.s that rnean
that the business has to be frozen in time ? Thai the business can no longer look into anything or
as long as it is performing its functions that it has historically done mean that they cannot look
into anything different cannot grow, can no longer hire new employee cannot change the method
® In ivhich it does its business ?
Attorney Marcus- you are right that the Grow fathering allows the business to operate within
the property in the way that it has always operated. This is why a variance is needed here, is
that the construction of a new building on the site is considered to be itself an expansion of the
business. That 's what NY State law would view* the addition of a building to any existing
bossiness. So in the case that a business operated either by being Grandfather as this one does or
under an existing use variance which to some extend this one does the .State law says that any
expansion requires a new, variance , because this involves a new building which ilself is
considered an expansion you trigger the requiretnent for a new variance and it is a tise variance
because the business is either Grarndjalher or under an existing use variance, in other words, I
just meant to make it clear its not an Area variance its because the concept of an addition to the
building is an expansion to the business. Whot wvas said earlier, if it was simply the purchase ofa
piece of equipment I don 't think that would be considered an expansion of the business ? So its
really the creation of a new, structure that trigger the need for the use variance , the State law
again and 1 know, you have been through the process, requires that for the Booted to grant the use
variance the board has to have in it hands what the law calls confident financial information.
Something which mostly is in writing that establishes why this expansion is necessary for the
business to keep going or growingr, there is nothing in the law that says the business can grow, in
0
ZBA OM4-2007
Page 12 of 17
ahe .wnse of expanding the law says that the business can do what it creeds to do to continue to be
a profitable business, no ( meaning it can hire new people or to make more money or to produce
more product but to maintain the level of e ploy eW, level of profit level o production like it
has. So its sirnplyx a matter of on existing ,saw in existing building that 's no longer productive or,
that cannot be used for the type of.slone being used, no longer able to produce the right
tolerance fof- curs, I think that all}irks in the category that a use variance addresses that to
Lffntain the business to operate you need something better, more high-tech, newer, maybe it has
it advantages to being a lower cost, I think the applicant needs io submit some finical data to
back rip what 's been -said- [t 's not a question of being able to expand the b us] ness. I don 11 gei the
iraaipr-es,sion of what the applicant has put in writing is chat the applicant wants to expand the
business, what 1 bear is the intent to maintain the business,
Hcnry- agrees with what Attorney Marcus explained a Use Variance and an Aqea VarzGnCe is- 1
had a di.seu s .Oon i-vUh Mr, Holbart , that of he ,simply replaces the .saw in the existing building he
h, not here before onybody, if he bought another sow and were to rase it like another piece of
equipment and didn 't creed a bu dingfor it just put it outside, he is not here either. The questions
Lange the building ofa new buildin -
B u7z- Comm en .s what has been said hef-e todoy, I bought that old sa)Vr so .I knotty that its:
outdated and Finger sakes need a new saw, In terms o pulling it in the building if way built in
1968 w 1th I7 ford ceiling at the peak and the new saw is higher their 17 feel and so to retrofit a
sleeI frame building to fil is a much more d2 ficuIt project and funs of, money.
T. Qu inn - this is a request for a rase variance Me zoning that exists up there crow does not Lriioij,

Paragraph one advises the plan will permit septic system installation and houso pIacement may

Area Variance Review :
One of the 5 � area variance review criterion, #r " Whether the benefit sought by the applicant call
be aQh1eved by sonie method, feasible for the applicant to pursue , other than an area variance
requires consideration .
While cost was not discussed within the 8 -23 correspondence I did dlseUss cost with Mr- Swald .
An originally estimated by Mr. Ewald of about 9 - 10, 000 for this system was c. uggested . You
enav want to discuss cost w, ith 'Ms Sukhinenko - Typically $ 7 4 8 ,000 septic cast is standard .
Within the area variance re11el' con sideration Suide1ines see Exhibit 41 , (3 -c), the ZBA is
instructed to provide the least amount of ref ief necessary .
Mr . Twald stated . no relief is necessary , paragraph I of $1 3/07 correspondence , however, he did
not include any figures to confirm the optnion .
Rather than a�suiniz� there is no noed for relief 1 have utilized the applicant ' s 196E last amended
