initial construction phase, and then it will become a permanent easement when the
second lot is formed. In addition, a driveway easement for the second lot is a part of the
proposal, therefore, only having access to the state road. The Cayuga Visa drive access
has also been marked out.

37.1-2-53.21, zoned Mixed Use Commercial (B1), to create 2 conforming lots, one of 2.17
acres and one of 1.07 acres; and (ii) for a site plan approval for construction of site
improvements for a retail store, as an allowed use in such B1 zone, upon the 2.17 acre
parcel; and
WHEREAS, more particularly, the proposal is to subdivide the existing parcel into two
parcels and construct a 9,100 ft2 retail building with 36 on-site parking spaces, together
with other traditional commercial site improvements, such as entrance drives, signage,
etc. on the larger parcel; and
WHEREAS, the owner will complete a “Full SWPPP” for the development site which

Agency an uncoordinated review of the Short-form Environmental Assessment Form
(“SEAF”) under SEQRA; and
WHEREAS, the requisite General Municipal Law § 239 referrals were duly made, and
the reply and recommendations of County Planning are reflected in their letter dated
February 9, 2016, none of which concerns affect this environmental review, and the
Planning Board further finds that agricultural/farm operations will not be impacted by
the project because there are no current or planned farm operations on the project site
and it is within a business zone; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Lansing Planning Board duly noticed and held a public
hearing at the Lansing Town Hall, 29 Auburn Road, Lansing, New York 14882 , upon
February 22, 2016, concerning this project and its’ environmental review, and all
citizens were given an opportunity to voice any concerns respecting the environmental
review and given a full opportunity to be heard concerning the project; and

reviewing agency functions in conducting an environmental review in accordance with
Article 8 of the New York State Environmental Conservation Law and SEQRA
regulations: (i) pursued its thorough review of the project and the Applicant’s SEAF, as
well as a review of all other documents prepared and submitted with respect to this
proposed action; and (ii) thoroughly analyzed the potential relevant areas of
environmental concern of the project to determine if the proposed action may have any
moderate or significant adverse impacts on the environment, including the criteria
identified in 6 NYCRR § 617.7(c); and (iii) reviewed the SEAF on the record; and
WHEREAS, each identified potential environmental impact was analyzed and duly
considered by the Planning Board in relation to the question of whether any potential
environmental impacts were so probable of occurring or so significant as to require a
positive declaration, and after weighing the above and all other potential impacts
arising from or in connection with this project, and after also considering: (i) the
probability of each potential impact occurring; (ii) the duration of each potential impact;
(iii) the irreversibility of each potential impact, including permanently lost resources of
value; (iv) whether each potential impact can or will be controlled or mitigated by
permitting or other processes; (v) the regional consequence of the potential impacts; (vi)

the potential for each impact to be or become inconsistent with the Town’s master plan
or Comprehensive Plan and local needs and goals; and (vii) whether any known
objections to the Project relate to any of the identified potential impacts, the Planning
Board found that these factors did not cause any potential impact to be or be likely to
become a moderate or significant impact such that a negative declaration will be issued.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS:
1. After consideration of the potential environmental impacts, including those
reviewed in accord with 6 NYCRR § 617.7(c), the Planning Board finds that the
proposed action of approving the one-lot subdivision of TPN 37.1-2-53.21, and the
development of the site for a Dollar General store, as based upon the site plan as
submitted, will individually and cumulatively have no moderate or significant negative
environmental consequences or impacts.
2. This declaration is made in accord with Article 8 of the New York State
Environmental Conservation Law and SEQRA regulations promulgated thereunder,
and accordingly, the Planning Board of the Town of Lansing, based upon: (i) its
thorough review of the SEAF, and any and all other documents prepared and submitted
with respect to this proposed action and its environmental review; (ii) its thorough
review of the potential relevant areas of environmental concern to determine if the
proposed action may have any moderate or significant adverse impact on the
environment, including, but not limited to, the criteria identified in 6 NYCRR § 617.7(c);
and (iii) its completion of the SEAF, including the findings noted therein (if any, and
which findings are incorporated herein as if set forth at length), hereby makes a
negative determination of environmental significance (“Negative Declaration”) in
accordance with SEQRA for the above referenced proposed actions, and determines
that an Environmental Impact Statement is therefore not required.
3. A Responsible Officer of the Planning Board of the Town of Lansing is hereby
authorized and directed to complete and sign, as required, the determination of
significance, confirming the foregoing Negative Declaration, which fully completed and

thereupon was duly scheduled; and
WHEREAS, the owner will complete a “Full SWPPP” for lot #1 and develop a properly sized
stormwater retention practice and treatment site and, in furtherance thereof, the developer’s
engineer has designed the on-site stormwater retention management practices for this site,

Plan and compliance therewith; and
WHEREAS, this is an Unlisted Action under the State Environmental Quality Review Act

review and duly issued a negative declaration of moderate or significant potential negative
environmental impacts arising from this project; and
WHEREAS, General Municipal Law § 239 referrals were duly delivered to the Tompkins
County Planning Department and such Department responded by letter dated February 9,
2016, which was amended by letter dated March 1, 2016, recommending that the proposed

certificate of occupancy or compliance for the project.
iv. Obtaining a Permanent Curb Cut Highway Access Permit from NYSDOT for the
driveway entrance from NYS Rt. 34 in a form as does not materially impair any of the
stormwater or site planning features herein approved; further noting that if, at any time, the
Planning Board deems NYSDOT conditions or approvals as potentially and negatively
impacting the approvals or impact mitigation features of the approvals and conditions herein
provided and stated, then and in such event the Planning Board may revoke, amend, or
otherwise review the project site plan and the SEQRA, upon a de novo or supplemental basis,
mainly, but not exclusively, to reconsider this matter and ensure that the impact mitigation
features of the site plan and approval are preserved to the maximum extent then possible.
v. An easement from the Town of Lansing to provide a driveway access to the Cayuga
Vista entrance/exit driveway to the north side of the project site as indicated on the Final Plat
Subdivision Map, with such access to be built in a manner as required by NYSDOT (if

ix. Completion of the site plan improvements as shown upon the site plans (maps and
pages 1-14), each as updated, including compliance with the drawings and visualization
material as submitted for the Planning Board review, specifically including the installation of
vegetative buffering as meets the goals of subparagraph (a) below, and the maintenance and
other goals and requirements of subparagraph (b) below:
(a) Buffering shall be designed to provide both visual cover buffering and sound
baffling features, and thus emphasis shall be placed upon solid cover barriers, such as
hedges and offset rows of evergreen trees, or large or densely placed deciduous trees with
variable heights and interspersed with evergreens or other plants as provide for such
cover and buffering.
(b) Developer and landowner(s) (and their existing and future tenants), as an express
condition of site plan approval (the violation of which shall be a violation of the Land
Use Ordinance and Town Law § 135, and enforceable as such), shall hereafter and at all
times: (i) properly protect and maintain such trees and other vegetative buffers as healthy
and natural non-invasive vegetation designed to provide both visual and sound buffering;
(ii) promptly remove and replace any dead, diseased, or dying trees or plants; (iii)
promptly replace, supplement, enhance, or otherwise effect changes in buffers whenever
such buffers, or any plants therein, whether singularly or in combination due to lack of
growth, death, recession, disease or other cause, cease to function as buffers as afore -
required; and (iv) effect such maintenance in a manner as promotes the goals of such
buffers as stated in this site plan approval.
x. All signs shall comply with the Town’s signage local law unless variances shall be
issued therefor, but in all cases site plan approval is conditioned upon the following
signage conditions: (i) all on-structure and freestanding signs shall be placed where
indicated in the approved site plan; signs shall not be lighted during closed business
hours, except the half-hour before opening and after closing.
xi. Any fill material brought to the site shall require fill compaction testing, and
verification of proper completion of compaction and compaction testing shall be
delivered to the Town’s Code Enforcement Officer prior to the close-out of any building
permit(s).
3. These resolutions shall be deemed the formal response to the recommendations of County
Planning as required by the General Municipal Law: (i) the recommendation of detailed
landscaping plans was addressed by the Planning Board at the sketch plan conference, even
APPROVED
11
before the referral under § 239, and again addressed thereafter twice, such that the Developer has
been required to submit detailed site plans, and conditions have been stated requiring compliance
with such buffering and landscaping requirements, such that the first recommendation has been
substantially and materially met; and (ii) the second suggestion was not fully met and the reasons
therefore are that delivery vehicles need access to the state highway; NYSDOT approved the
design and traffic safety plans designed by the developer’s engineer; a single entrance proved
difficult due to multiple easements and restrictions along Cayuga Vista Drive, there is a
deliberate effort to avoid excess traffic routing onto “Cayuga Vista Drive” in consideration of the
potential future development of adjacent sites, and as it was deemed wise to try to have
residential vehicular traffic use differing routes into the site than commercial traffic and large
trucks.
4. A copy of this resolution shall be sent to County Planning per General Municipal Law §
239-l, et seq.
5. The construction access entrance indicated on NYS Route 34 in the original drawings
label “Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Plan”, Sheet # 7 will be relocated to the Cayuga Vista
Drive entrance.
