An updated Site Plan Plat and Sewer Connection Maps were presented to the Planning Board. Mr. Buhl recapped what previously has occurred with the project and Planning Board. Mr. Buhl recalls being in the middle of a PB SEQR Hearing and it was tabled due to a sewer connection issue, which later turned into a sewer capacity issue. Mr. Buhl believes that issue has been resolved with the study that the Town did for the Village of Cayuga Heights. It explains there is plenty of capacity for the Warren Road Sewer, although, the Cayuga Farms project is not specifically mentioned in it. Email correspondence has taken place between Cayuga Heights (Brent Cross) and the Lansing School District Bus Garage, see attached below; 4 DR�,�- r - APPROVED C.A`U..CA 11t.l(1■ 1•. :,LHAt.!.

The Study for the Warren Road District was completed and determined there is capable capacity for that project and future expansion. However, as noted in Mr. Cross's email, there are other Town projects in competition for this capacity. Mr. Buhl indicated that Mr. Cross suggested the Town consider possibly expanding the Warren Road District to include this project or, do a separate no cost extension to that district. Mr. Overstrom stated there are some projects on the table that will be taking some of the capacity. Once their full build out has been looked at, other projects will be reviewed. Mr. Overstrom further suggested going through the procedure of forming another Sewer District or Sewer District Extension of the Warren Road Sewer District. Once that is formed it should include the Cayuga Farms Project. Larry Sharpsteen questioned if the Planning Board would need a Memorandum of Understanding in order to proceed with the Planning Board's work on the project. 6 APPROVED • It was suggested that the Developer open dialogs. > )wn. is K7(j P Timothy Buhl states at this time, the Developer v • - ded in t iistrict as an extension when it is established or they would do a separate district of their own that would tie into to get to the District. According to Mr. Wheeler's notes, one of the questions that came up at the last Planning Board Meeting he attended was the Board would consider issuing Preliminary Site Plan Approval contingent upon final Sewer Plan and other Municipalities, if Counsel provided a written letter to that affect. Jeff Overstrom states this is the first Sewer Route Map he has seen for the proposed route. The Town will need to have more details as to what exactly the Town wants to do and coordinate with David Herrick as far as the connection point along Warren Road. Lin Davidson requested to know if Mr. Buhl had contact the School District to see if they can handle the capacity. Jeff Overstrom is waiting to hear from the Fire Chief as to his opinion on the proposed project with respect to emergency vehicles being able to enter/exit the development without any problems. Jeff Overstrom will make contact with Lorraine Moynihan Schmitt to further discuss the proposal. In addition, Mr. Overstrom will be meeting with Guy Krogh and David Herrick next week to discuss other matters, and he will bring up this proposal as well.
