Site Plan Review- Replacement & New Water Tank(s), Applicant: Southern Cayuga Lake Municipal Water Commission, 1 APPROVED Horizon Drive, Tax Parcel # 44.-1-38.1 Paul Tunison gave a brief overview of the material submitted to the Board Members. Mr. Tunison indicated there was initially two options, repainting or replacing. Looking at the economics of it 15 years down the road, going with the concrete tank was much more feasible to replace. Nothing can be done with the original tank unless they have a spare tank to utilize. There is no safety issues, the tanks will be fenced in. There is no lighting. Traffic will not be increased. Some improvement to the drainage will be a part of the overall project. Thomas Ellis made a motion to waive the Public Hearing. Nancy Loncto seconded.
