Review of Lots for Septic, Alex Cirna, Horizon Estates
Alex Cirna appeared before the Planning Board to request final subdivision approval of lots
in Horizon Estates that weren' t approved because of there was no percolation and no sewer.
He explainedthat they couldn't get Health Department approval for these lots. •
Linda Hirvonen briefly explained to Robert Todd that Mr. Cima had originally developed the
first part of his project and had fully intended to develop the Estate section under the
assumption that he would have municipal sewer available. While in the process of
• development, the Village of Cayuga Heights withdrew the access to sewer for this project,
but by then Mr. Cima already had all the sewer pipes installed. Because of this incident, Mr.
Cima had to resort to putting in septic systems for each lot.
Al White pointed out that this Planning Board has already approved this subdivision subject
to approval by the Health Department.
•
Viola ; Miller questioned Alex Cima as to why the Health Department is permitting the fill.
that .is being brought in on this development project, when previously the Planning
Department wasnot able to approve a similar development that had fill brought in. Mr.: T ;
a Circa explained that many of the local highway departments and contractors are bringing in ' •:
their fill and he has not had any concerns expressed to him by the Health Department.

questioned whether lot #5 will be allowed further subdivision. Chuck Bartosch stated that , lot
#5 will be for their own home and will not be further subdivided. -
Chuck Bartosch didn' t believe that there is an easement for the water line that runs through
lot #5, but that he doesn't have the abstract yet. , '

with the Planning Board to straighten the lines up for this subdivision.
