Dear Mrs. Cargian:
This letter acknowledges your referral of the proposed action identified above for review by the
Tompkins County Department of Planning and Sustainability pursuant to §239 -l, -m and -n of the New
York State General Municipal Law.
We have determined the proposed action will have no significant county-wide or inter-community impact.
We do, however, have the following comments on the proposed action:
• We suggest that the Town request a meeting with the developer and the electric utility company
to outline the interconnection plan for this project so that the Town has the opportunity to review
and comment on the construction of the interconnection prior to interconnection becoming final.
Thank you for the opportunity to review this project at the preliminary stage, we look forward to
reviewing further iterations of the project.
Sincerely,
Katherine Borgella, AICP
Commissioner of Planning and Sustainability
