M. Carey: Okay, that brings us to the Langers. I think this time we'll fill out the SEQRA review
and I'd like to ask George to read the questions for us.
G. Van Slyke: Okay. I guess we can do that. Okay, this is the Part II of the Environmental
Assessment Form SEQRA, and we're doing the short form.
Part i7 of the Short Environmental Assessment Form is read aloud. Negative responses were
obtained to all questions in Part II. Therefore, it was determined by the Planning Board,
upon a motion made by Member Vert Rankin, seconded by Member Sheldon Clark, with all
members present voting in favor, that the action, based on the information submitted, will not
cause any significant adverse environmental impact resulting in a Negative Declaration,

March 18th .
