GENERAL COMMENTS:
1. The Cortlandville Town Code in Article X Aquifer Protection District, which was
added in May of 1988, twenty-seven years ago, has very,specific definitions of
the various areas and highlight the importance of these areas necessary to
preserve the integrity of the sole source aquifer.
2. Within Article X the Restrictions and requirements section 178-45 lists in
paragraph A Prohibitive uses and activities subparagraph (7) Gas stations, solid
waste disposal facilities and junkyards are prohibited in Areas I and II.
3. The Town Board's proposed zoning amendment as written and located in the
zoning section of the Town Code neither adds or reduces restrictions since
variance requests and approvals are possible.
4. If the Town Board desires to facilitate establishing additional areas to place retail
petroleum sales operations beyond what is currently allowed the action should
start with a needs assessment. Is it necessary to be less restrictive in the
protection of the sole source aquifer? Is the need so critical as to warrant less
restrictive protection of the aquifer? Once a realistic need has been defined then
the Town Board should consult with technical experts knowledgeable in aquifer
hydrology to determine if the need can be satisfied without jeopardizing the
integrity of the aquifer. The recommendations of the technical people.should be
the basis of any change to the Town code.
5. Once areas are defined that could accommodate gas stations without
compromising the sole source aquifer then those areas should be specifically
identified and spelled out in the Code outside of zoning.
6. In the 2002 draft report titled Delineation of Wellhead Protection areas for the
Town of Cortlandville and City of Cortland the travel time for the 1A zone was
defined as 2 -year travel time and Zone 1 B as 5 year travel time. It was stated on
page 4 relative to zone 1 B "This zone represents a significant risk of
contamination to the well, but not as high as Zone 1A".
CLOSE OUT STATEMENT:
The'proposed zoning text proposal as written and located in the Zoning section
does nothing to restrict or facilitate gas stations within Cortlandville.
The need for additional gas stations should be defined first followed by
recommendations from a technical body to see if we can safely modify our Town
Code to facilitate retail gasoline sales without compromising the current and future
integrity of our sole source aquifer. The work, knowledge and recommendations of
2
JAN --?2016
�Todd Miller- and Pat Reidy are required to formulate a plan to facilitate additional --� gas station locations within Cortlandville.
Considering the importance of the sole source aquifer and the existence of
seventeen gas stations in and around Cortlandville it begs the question as to why
this matter is even being brought up for discussion. Although the Town code may
be somewhat restrictive, considering the importance of the sole source aquifer the
originators of the code acted with an abundance of caution based on hydrological
science, which up to now has served us well.
These comments are those of Nick Renzi Planning Board member and in no way
represent the opinion of the Cortlandville Planning Board. **

PE, Project Engineer, containing the results of her review of the documents and information submitted to
this Board by the applicant. The information was provided to the Board for their consideration as it
relates to the completion of Parts 2 and 3 of the FEAF. Attorney Shafer commented that he had just
received a copy of this letter today; he further stated that after the length of time (over two months) that
he has appeared before the Board for this project, "I wait two months and I don't get the courtesy of
Clough Harbour including me on the circulation."
Chair Wickwire proceeded with Part II of the Full Environmental Assessment Form (FEAF) using the
engineer's comments which had been requested. The Board completed their responses to each question
which were recorded, in writing, by PZO Weber. A copy of this form has been placed on file for the
record.
It is noted that Attorney Shafer did not agree with the Board's answer to Item 12 regarding "Impact on
Critical Environmental Area." The Water Works, as stated by PZO Weber, is considered a Critical
Environmental Area and the project is considered to be within or adjacent to this area.
Upon completion of Part II, the Board discussed Part 3 of the FEAF and how to proceed.
Attorney Shafer stated that in his first letter to CHA he had asked them "What's the cost?" He said he
received "no response on that." Chair Wickwire reported that James Trasher, of CHA, had told her that it
would depend on how much work was involved. Member Renzi thought that CHA should be asked to
submit a "cost -to -date" and then provide a proposal for assisting in completion of Part 3.
The Board then discussed the proposed "property exchange" regarding this project, and Attorney Shafer
advised that he had sent this information to Engineer Cassalia at CHA.
Town Attorney John Folmer commented that the Planning Board needs to make its findings using the
report from CHA, get a cost -to -date from them, and also a proposal for assisting in the completion of Part
3. Chair Wickwire stated that Part 3 needs to be completed and a decision made for either a Positive or a
Negative Declaration. Then the applicant can make the decision whether or not to proceed.
PZO Weber stated that the Planning Board would not go ahead "with Part 3 until conformation from Mr.
Shafer ... If Mr. Shafer is not willing to pay for the analysis for Part 3, then that may be the end of it."
No Action Taken.

explained in the Project Narrative accompanying their application. Approximately 2600 SF of the existing
building at this site would be renovated, and there would be minimal modification to the building's
exterior. The Center will contain two hyperbaric chambers. A new bulk liquid oxygen system would be
constructed in the northwest corner of the site on a new 21 ft. by 24 ft. concrete pad which would be
enclosed by a six-foot high chain-link fence. Supply lines to the building will be underground. Largest
tank would be 15 ft. tall and 6 ft. in diameter. Tank(s) will be filled from three to four times a year.
Chair Wickwire suggested that the Cortlandville Fire Department should be notified of the liquid oxygen
station.
At the conclusion of the discussion, a motion was made by Member Renzi to approve the Conditional

Leonidas Group of Virgil, LLC. Applicant /Robert Ferris, Reputed Owner - Starr Road - TM #96.10-
01-19.100 - Sketch Plan Conference for Proposed PUD,
Chair Wickwire recognized Engineer Tim Buhl and Al Kryger who explained that the applicant will be
appearing before this Board seeking approval of a PUD on this 11.61± acre parcel. Plans include 66
units comprised of six single-family dwellings, six duplex homes, eight six -family buildings, and one
club/community unit for use by unit owners and residents in the general area for a membership fee, all
as explained in the narrative accompanying a Preliminary Site Plan. The road would be built to Town
specifications and public utilities were planned. Amount of open space has not yet been calculated.
Member Renzi commented that snow storage area(s) should be shown on the plan. In response to the
Board's question, Mr. Kryger stated that Leonidas was not an outside investment group. It was also
mentioned to the reps that the area is noted for significant drainage problems on the south side of this
site. When asked about the architectural style, Mr. Kryger stated that would be one of the next steps,
but planned on vinyl siding. Chair Wickwire stated that what was proposed seemed to be more of a
housing development. PZO Weber responded that what is proposed meets the criteria of a PUD.
Discussion of "Parti Drive hookup" was held which the Board felt should be discouraged. When asked if
the proposed units would be sold or rented, Mr. Kryger responded that he would like to sell them all, but
may have to rent. The estimated project cost would be from five -to -six million dollars. Member Renzi
said his concerns were (1) the tie-in to Parti Drive, (2) no parking on the main street, (3) aesthetics of the
structures, etc. Chair Wickwire felt there should be more protection/ buffer for the residents on Parti
Drive.
No Action Taken.

February 16, 2015 from Mr. Henry to PZO Bruce Weber asking for a Conditional Permit to "offer a
broader range of products," e.g. mulch, plants, shrubbery, pavers and gardening accessories. As there
was no one present to represent the applicant or answer any questions the Board may have,
consideration of this application was postponed until this meeting.)
Chair Wickwire recognized Mr. Henry, the owner of Cortlandville Sand & Gravel, a 70± -acre gravel bed
located on the subject parcel. Mr. Henry explained that he would like to offer a "broader range of
products" at this location, e.g. mulch, plants, shrubbery, patio pavers and gardening accessories. The
display area for these products would be along the NYS Route 13 portion of the property. A 16 February
2015 narrative/ letter, addressed to PZO Weber, accompanied his application for a Conditional Permit.
The application also included a site plan sketch indicating the proposed layout of the display area,
including parking. He may sell trees in another year or so.
Mr. Henry stated the proposed new sign would be in compliance with requirements. He planned to be
open six days a week. There will be no chemical use—just water.
After a brief discussion, a motion was made by Member Newell to approve the Conditional Permit

trucks and used up as the landscaping season progresses; he anticipates delivery by 18 -wheelers about
eight times per year. No retail sales will be conducted onsite. Trucks will continue to be stored at
Premier's existing property.
Mr. Leach also explained that his son does snow removal and plans to keep that equipment on the
subject parcel. No salt will be onsite.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES — 31 MARCH 2015
A motion was made by Member Nick Renzi to approve the Town of Cortlandville Planning Board's
Minutes of 31 March 2015, as submitted. The motion was seconded by Member Chris Newell,

Used Car King, LLC, Applicant/Reputed Owner - 3861 NYS Route 281 - TM #86.17-01-11.100 -
Parking Lot Expansion - SEORA Review (cont'dl
Chair Wickwire asked the Board members if they had received a copy of a March 31, 2015 letter
addressed to Chairperson Katherine Wickwire from CHA Project Engineer Laura C. Cassalia, PE,
regarding Part 3 Recommendations for this project's SEQRA review, along with Attorney Shaffer's letter
of 27 April in response. They had.
The Board then compared comments with responses, item by item. She stated that, with regard to
Impact on Critical Environmental Areas, pg. 3 of CHA's 3/31/15 letter to her, this was the reason the
Town had the law limiting lot coverage. The applicant already exceeds the lot coverage and is asking for
more, and it's adjacent a CEA. Also, if allowed, it would be creating a precedent and the Town's law
would be useless. Town Attorney Folmer added it was not necessarily the precedent itself, but the
- cumulative affect. Member Renzi commented that a lot of thought went into including lot coverage in
the Town's regulations. He added that the Town may look back, 15 years from now, and conclude that
"we were too generous with the lot coverage and it should never have been the percentage we have now."

(T) Cortlandville Planning Board Regular Meeting Minutes 28 April 2015
Chair Wickwire then read a portion of Pat Reidy's 2/21/13 letter to David Plew, ZBA Chairman,
regarding lot coverage which supported the Town's efforts in limiting same. Chair Wickwire
acknowledged that Attorney Shafer's 27 April 2015 letter stated that the applicant has proposed
purchasing a property on Luker Road, and stripping it of future development rights; this would meet the
spirit of the green space provisions. There was also a similar parcel on Gracie Road. She stated that
this made no difference at all. The property exchange was thoroughly discussed. Chair Wickwire
concluded that, "I don't know why we're even discussing the parcels because we're not discussing what's
happening on those parcels, we're discussing what's happening on this piece of property and that it is
already over the green space in the law."
Chair Wickwire concluded that, "If there is one or more items that cannot be mitigated, then we have to
have a Positive Declaration, and I don't believe that the consistency with the community plans, question
number 17 we have down here, can be mitigated. I don't see how you can mitigate that."
At the conclusion of this very extensive discussion, a motion was made by Member Renzi to accept
Part 3 of the Full Environmental Assessment From as completed, based upon CHA's
recommendations contained in their 31 March 2015 letter to Chair Wickwire, and to declare a
Positive Declaration under SEQRA. The motion was seconded by Member Renzi, with the vote
recorded as follows:
Ayes: Chair Wickwire Nays: None
Member Newell
Member Renzi
Member Finamore
Member DelVecchio
Motion carried.
This becomes Action #19 of 2015.
PZO Weber advised that there were "two potential paths." The applicant, if not ready to do an EIS,
could chose to go back to the ZBA and tell them the Lead Agency has made a Positive Declaration, so is
that enough information for you to continue? Or stay with the Lead Agency and complete an EIS in
hopes that they receive a recommendation to the ZBA that there will be no environmental impact. It is
now up to the applicant as to how they want to proceed. Chair Wickwire agreed. She provided a
completed copy of Part 3 to Attorney Shafer.
Suit-Kote Corporation. Applicant/ Reputed Owner - US Route 11 (Polkville) - TMs #97.00-01-

Chair Wickwire recognized Kathy Bennett, Attorney from Bond, Schoeneck & King, representing the
applicant who was seeking rezoning of these three parcels (91t A.) from Agriculture to Industrial 2, so
that gravel mining could be allowed, subject to a Conditional Permit. Reference is made to last month's
Planning Board Minutes for additional information.
Ms. Bennett stated that the applicant had obtained a Mined Land Reformation Law Permit from the
NYSDEC. She asked that this Board make its recommendation to the Town Board regarding this
request.
A motion was then made by Member Renzi that the Cortlandville Planning Board recommends to
the Cortlandville Town Board that the Suit-Kote Application for Rezoning of three properties with
a total area of 90.22 acres from Agricultural to General Industrial I-2 be APPROVED. This positive
-�� recommendation by the Planning Board is in support of the County Planning Department's
li comment in their analysis wherein they state, "The rezoning of this property from Agricultural to
General Industrial would allow the applicant to apply for site plan approval and a Conditional
Permit for this use rather than a use variance as it is not a permitted use in the

#85.19-01-09.000 - Subdivision of Land
(Note: Member DelVecchio recused himself from this matter and took a seat in the audience.) Chair
Wickwire recognized the applicant who was seeking approval to subdivide the subject parcel into two
equal lots, each containing approximately 29,700 square feet, as shown on the map accompanying the
application. It is noted that the Town requires 30,000 SF minimum for a lot, so the applicant had been
granted an area variance at the Town's Zoning Board of Appeals meeting immediately before this
meeting. PZO Weber added that the ZBA asked the applicant what will the use of the properties be,
single-family or two-family? No problem with a single-family, but at the time an application is received
an interpretation for a two-family will be made. The Town Planning Board, he stated, is just looking at
the subdivision requested.
7 With no further discussion, a motion was made by Member Renzi to approve the subdivision of this
parcel into two lots, as requested. The motion was seconded by Member John Finamore, with the

it with their property. As explained in Attorney Ellis' narrative, "The property is being purchased in
association with plans for the relocation of an electric transmission line by Niagara Mohawk Power
Corporation. This relocated power line is needed to supply Suit-Kote with additional electrical power
required to operate its Polkville facility."

COMMENTS ON THE PROPOSED ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT
REGARDING
THE LOCATION AND OPERATION OF RETAIL PETROLEUM SALES
BACKGROUND:
Currently gasoline stations are not permitted in any zoning district in the Town except
the B-3 District in shopping centers with special permit.
Cortlandville has five gasoline stations. The Sunoco station located on the corner of
Route 222 and Route 281, the Red Apple located on McLean Road and Route 13 and
three located south on Route 11.. The City of Cortland has six gas stations on its main
thoroughfares easily available to travelers into and out of Cortlandville. To the south of
Cortlandville there are three gas stations on Route 13 and to the north on Route 281
there are three gas stations. The total number of gas stations in and around
Cortlandville is seventeen.
The way the Town Code is written currently gas stations can be located in the
Agricultural, R-1, R-2, R-3 Districts by applying for and obtaining a use variance from
the Town Zoning Board of Appeals. The same is true for the other Districts Districts.
Previous applications for the gas stations within Cortlandville have been denied based
upon the need to minimize the .threat to the sole source aquifer that provides drinking
water to the Town's residents.
PROPOSED ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT DESCRIPTION AND COMMENTS:
The proposed amendment as written would maintain the current restrictions of not
allowing gas stations in the Agricultural, R-1, R-2 and R-3 Districts but adds the Area 1A
of the wellhead protection area.
The intent of the proposed zoning text amendment is not clear since any prohibited use
called out for any of the districts can be appealed, by submitting a variance request to
the Zoning Board of Appeals. Adding the 1A area to the restrictions carried by the
Agricultural District, R-1, R-2 and R-3 Districts does nothing since variances currently
can be applied for and possibly granted.
An approved variance coupled with site plan approval.and issuance of a Conditional
Permit and an approved Aquifer Protection Permit gasoline stations could result.in gas
stations being located anywhere in Cortlandville. Highly unlikely but entirely possible.
On the other hand if the proposed amendment were located in the Town's Code outside
of the Zoning section a variance request would never come into play.

you ask it to be in.

Site Plan for Proposed Two -Family Residence
(Board Member John DelVecchio recused himself as he is the applicant's brother. Also, Member
Finamore disclosed that he owned the property next door to the subject.) _
Chair Wickwire recognized the applicant who was seeking approval to construct a two-family residence
on the subject parcel. Member Renzi asked about a garage for each unit and Mr. DelVecchio responded
that the had no plans to construct a garage at this time; if constructed, it would not be connected to the
house. A photo of an existing two-family home near Beaudry Park in Cortland was shown to the Board
as an example of what is planned for this site.
Member Renzi asked about the parking spaces indicated and felt it may be a difficult situation when
exiting by backing onto Highland Road; he suggested that the applicant examine this further. Member
Renzi also noted that, although a duplex is allowed, the proposed residence is very different from the
surrounding homes. He suggested, in the interest of compatability, that every effort should be made to
have the proposed duplex blend in with the surrounding properties.
In response to Chair Wickwire's question, Mr. DelVecchio stated- there would be shrubs in the front, but
not along the left side. The two units in this duplex will be rented. There also will be sidewalks going to
the left and entering the door(s). Member Renzi asked, if the four parking spaces were occupied, would
there be a problem for an emergency vehicle to access the units? The applicant stated he would take a
look at this.
A motion was then made by Member Renzi to approve the Site Plan for the two-family residence,
as requested. The motion was seconded by Member John Finamore, with the vote recorded as
follows:
Ayes: Chair Wickwire Nays: None

Chair Wickwire recognized Greg Leach, representing the applicant who was seeking an Aquifer
Protection District Special Permit for a 2,000 -gallon fuel storage tank to be placed inside the existing
transfer station at this site. He stated that Cortland County's "bulk petroleum people" had visited his
facility and saw no problem with what was being planned. The building has a recessed floor which is
more than adequate for containment. The double -walled metal tank is being provided by Cortland
Pump, and it will have a fire suppression system. The only activity near the tank is an "inbound tractor
trailer that gets parked overnight. There will be no regular traffic." Member Renzi stated he would like
to know the ratio of the volume of the containment to the volume of the tank, and have information
regarding a fire suppression system.
At the conclusion of the Board's review, a motion was made by Member Newell send the application
for an Aquifer Protection District Special Permit for the proposed 2,000 -gallon fuel storage tank

Areas - Sand & Gravel Mining' Oueration.
Chair Wickwire recognized Kevin Bernstein, representing the applicant who was seeking approval to
operate a sand and gravel mining operation on 57± acres of this 90± -acre parcel, as shown on the
drawings accompanying the applications. He stated that they had received a requested zoning change
in April (it is now in an I-2 District). Mr. Bernstein then went on to describe the site and the processes
to the Board. There will be no crushing onsite; this will be handled by the use of a conveyor to take the
material from this mine (called the "Alexander Mine") to the existing Polkville Mine for crushing. Onsite
tanks will be limited. First 100 feet of access off Route 11 will be paved to minimize dust. There will
also be berms along Route 11 with trees to reduce visual impact.
Chair Wickwire asked why the applicant needed this new mine, and Mr. Bernstein responded that the
management of Suit-Kote is always looking for new locations that have suitable sand and gravel
resources; also, there is no room to grow the pond any larger in Polkville which has been in operation
for 28± years. Reclamation will be in accordance with NYSDEC regulations. The Board members then
reviewed the drawings submitted.
PZO Weber advised that the application will need the elevations of the conveyor; it's part of the
Development Permit and is also in the flood plain.

Conditional Permit, Aquifer Protection District Special Permit, and Development Permit for Flood

(Note: At the Planning Board meeting held on 25 November 2014, Chair Wickwire recognized the
applicant who had submitted an application with Site Plan (Rev. 8/5/14), and requested approval of a
Conditional Permit to operate his business as explained in his narrative attached to that application. At
that meeting, Mr. Barden stated that his compliance with the Site Plan presented was "close to being

property to be brought into conformance with the Site Plan (dated 8/5/14 R) by 1 April 2015.
Action #83 of 2014.)
Chair Wickwire asked Town Attorney John Folmer the status of the subject's failure to bring the subject
property into compliance with the Conditional Permit. Attorney Folmer responded that "this Board had
held its Public Hearing concerning revocation of the applicant's Conditional Permit. The Board, at that
time, agreed it would not revoke the Permit if certain conditions were met by a date which was
established. Mr. Barden then contacted you and he appeared and indicated that because of the weather
that we had, winter, etc., he had not been in a position to do the work ... and you advised him that you
would give him an additional period of time to do that. And I think that period of time expired on June
30th unless I'm mistaken. So the question today, I guess, is has Mr. Barden complied with your request
regarding those conditions? I think Bruce made an inspection today, perhaps, to determine, and he can
report. . ." PZO Weber then advised everyone present that he did inspect the property today and "I
would say that the property is not in compliance with the plans that have been submitted."
Mr. Barden then responded that he had attempted to contact Town CEO Tom Williams "three times,
four times, left him messages. I wanted him to come up to the property and just see at what point he
-� would give me a compliance letter ... he has not contacted me. That's where I'm at."

. Mr. Barden then stated "I need something from your Board that says, hey, we're good to go." Chair.
Wickwire countered, that he needed to bring his property into compliance with the site plan he
submitted.
Member Renzi explained to the applicant that this. was not a Tom Williams' issue, "it's still in .the
Planning Board arena." If PZO Weber advises this Board that the applicant is in compliance, then this
Board. takes his word for. it. Member Renzi then, advised Mr. Barden to. "get your `stuff together, talk to
PZO Weber about it, and Bruce will report back to us." Mr. Barden- stated, "If we're good, then I won't
have to come back." PZO Weber affirmed, "If you're in compliance- then you don't need to. come back.".
Mr. Barden then stated he needed to have approval, in writing, but "I can't tell you why I have to have
it." PZO Weber stated that would not be a problem.

REGULAR MEETING
The regular meeting of the Town of Cortlandville Planning Board was called to order at 7:30 p.m.
by Chair Katherine Wickwire.
OLD BUSINESS
Leach's Custom Trash Service. Applicant/Leach Properties, LLC, Reputed Owner - 1834 NYS
Route 13 - TM #77.00-04-10.000 - Aquifer Protection District Special Permit for Proposed Fuel
Storage Tank
(Reference is made to the 30 June 2015 Minutes for the initial application. At that meeting, the
application for an APDSP was forwarded to County Planning for their recommendations.)
Chair Wickwire recognized Greg Leach of Leach's Custom Trash Service, who was seeking an Aquifer
Protection District Special Permit to install a fuel storage tank at his existing trash service facility, as it
is located within 500 feet of NYS and County roads. A copy of the Cortland County Planning
Department/ Board's report was given to Mr. Leach by Chair Wickwire. The County's recommendations
were read aloud by Chair Wickwire.
One of the County Board's recommendations contained in their Resolution No. 15-17 of 7/15/15, was
that the applicant apply for and receive a use variance for expansion of a use not permitted in the B-2
District or Area 1 of the Aquifer Protection District. PZO Weber explained that "once a use variance is
granted for a use on that property, it is no longer considered a non -conforming use; it's considered a
conforming use because a use variance has been granted for it. Additionally, I would not see a fuel
storage tank inside of an existing building as an expansion of the use. So not only is the use not non-
conforming, but I don't see that it needs a use variance." Member Nick Renzi reported that he had
talked with Dan Dineen, Director of County Planning, who felt that a variance was required.
The Board continued with their review of the other recommendations in the County's report.
At the conclusion of the discussion, a motion was by Member John DelVecchio that contrary to what
the Cortland County Planning Board recommends, the Town of Cortlandville Planning Board does
not see a need for a use variance as one was previously granted, and the Cortlandville Town
Planning Board recommends to the Town Board that they issue an Aquifer Protection District

Ayes: Chair Wickwire Nays: None
Member Newell
Member Renzi

97.02-01-12.000 & 13.000 - Conditional Permit, APDSP & Development Permit for Flood Hazard
Areas - Sand & Gravel Mining Operation.
(Reference is made to the 30 June 2015 Minutes of this Board for consideration of the initial application.
At that meeting, the applications were forwarded to the Cortland County Planning Board for their
review.)
Chair Wickwire recognized Attorney Kathleen Bennett of Bond, Schoeneck & King, representing the
applicant, and informed her that this Board needed to set a Public Hearing.
The reports/ recommendations from County Planning were acknowledged and reviewed. Chair Wickwire
asked about night lights and operating hours. Attorney Bennett advised the Board that the hours of
operation for this proposed new mining operation would be from 5:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday thru
�= Friday, and from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Saturdays. There may be some need for lights, she stated,
but it was not anticipated they would be mining after dark. The Board discussed the "archeologically
sensitive area." The County was concerned with any storage of topsoil in the flood plain; they do not
plan to do this and will provide an updated plan.
With regard to Item 7 of the County's Resolution No. 15-19, dated 15 July 2015, the attorney advised
that this requirement was under the purview of the NYSDEC. She added that as long as the applicant
complied with all of the DEC conditions, then that would satisfy the section of the Town's Code
referenced in Item 7. Attorney Bennett stated that "it's all going to be one big pond when it's done."
PZO Weber stated that the Town Board will also have to hold a Public Hearing for the Aquifer Protection
District Special Permit and this Board may want to withhold any recommendation to the Town until
after the Board holds its own Public Hearing.
A motion was then made by Member DelVecchio to set a Public Hearing for the proposed sand and
gravel mining operation on 56.96± A. for 25 August 2015 at 7:30 p.m. The motion was seconded
by Member John Finamore, with the vote recorded as follows:

seeking a Conditional Permit to expand their employee parking in a proposed 60 ft. by 90 ft. area behind
the existing building, as shown on the sketch accompanying the application. Their main parking lot is
now full. The existing sheds and dumpster will be relocated. It is planned to pave the new parking lot

1.65± -acre parcel from the subject parcel of 30.43± acres, as shown on the aerial photos accompanying
the application. The subdivided parcel includes a house, . small barn, and another small storage
building. He stated that this rental house is no longer needed as part of Reed's Seed Farm; he would
retain the balance of 28.78± acres for farming.

(T) Cortlandville Planning Board Regular Meeting Minutes 28 July 2015
Mr. Kryger stated that the proposed street (1700± feet in length, oil & stone) will not be a Town
(" street/road, but would be constructed to Town Specifications and then maintained by the homeowner's
association. There was a connecting drive for "emergencies only."
Chair Wickwire commented that the Board needed more information on the drawings than what had
been submitted; it was not sufficient to forward to County Planning for their review. The Board would
like to see what the proposed units would look like, parking details, landscaping, mathematical
calculations, etc. Mr. Kryger commented that he thought what was submitted was sufficient to refer to
the Cortland County Planning Department for their input before going into the detail of design drawings,
construction drawings. Chair Wickwire responded that the County cannot provide comments on details
that they have not received; they need to know lot coverage, parking details, etc. Member Renzi added,
how do people parking in the parking spots get to the units? Are there sidewalks? Are they lighted?
Where is snow storage area(s)? The drawings should "tell the whole story." Member Renzi stated that
this Board should not pass on to County Planning what is not satisfactory to Town Planning. PZO
Weber asked Mr. Kryger, "how did you get to this density?" This needs to be indicated; the County
needs to know the same information.
Chair Wickwire asked PZO Weber if a project such as this is sent to the County "for a concept" review;
he responded "usually not." Member Renzi commented to Mr. Kryger that what he had submitted was
good, but it's not enough. All things should be addressed that are in the Code. Mr. Kryger stated he
would like to be on next meeting's Agenda. Member Renzi added that they would like Stormwater
Management details also.
No Action Taken.

PZO Weber reported that he had met with the applicant's shop manager, walked the site with him, and
pointed out what was not in compliance with the Conditional Permit—parking, junk vehicles, multiple
containers of vegetable oil stored outside, truck caps, vehicles too close to front, all kinds of vehicles in
the back, tires, etc. The shop manager indicated "we have been cleaning it up."

oil because that's how he heats his building.

stop this nonsense."
f' ~ Attorney John Folmer gave a brief overview of what had transpired over the past few months, including
the Board holding a Public Hearing regarding revocation of the applicant's Permit.
The Planning Board then discussed its next steps. Attorney Folmer stated that if the Board was going
to involve him, then the Board needed to revoke the Permit so that he can be changed with operating
without a Permit. Chair Wickwire commented that she didn't want to "pick on anybody" or put anyone
out of business, and that there were other businesses in worse condition.
After considerable discussion, a motion was made by Member Renzi to revoke the Conditional

(T) Cortlandville Planning Board Public Hearing & Regular Meeting Minutes
25 August 2015
Member Firiamore stated he had drive around the entire area and saw no problem; he was surprised the
Brafman's "could even see it." There were multi -colored lights.
Member Renzi read from the. 26 February 2013 Minutes of this Board, as follows:
Chair Wickwire then iasked about the proposed windmills as depicted in the computer-generated
photos submitted to the Board members. These windmills would be placed on the Osbeck farm
portion of the facility. . Chair Wickwire questioned their use and height. Jim Gosier (Byrne's
General Counsel) explained that they were proposing seven decorative windmills at four
different heights: 45 feet, 66 feet, 75 feet, and 90 feet. He stated they had applied to the ZBA
for a variance. One of the windmills will be operating an aerator for the proposed: pond.. They
proposed to illuminate the blades displaying different colored lights to establish a landmark and
to indicate "what's going on in the plant," e.g., .yellow for making -cheese day.: They will be the
old-fashioned farm -type windmills.
Member Renzi commented that, looking at the windmills, in hindsight, they should have had
illumination from the bottom up, rather than these LED lights. What is there is not what he imagined.
He talked with Mr. Gosier regarding the Brafman letter and told him that he thought the, lighting of the
windmills "was kind of garish." PZO Weber stated, that from his perspective, the lights should be of one
color, depending on what was being made in the plant at the time. Member Renzi was informed by Mr.
Gosier that a control box. could be. utilized to dim: the, lights.
Member Newell was .sympathetic with the -Brafmans; the lights are multi -colored, bright _LEDs, and are
on all night. Member Renzi thought the lights should be more subtle and more "user friendly." PZO
Weber. added that there were two issues: one, to turn the illumination down and, two, to have only one -
color lights..
In conclusion, the Board requested that PZO Weber invite Mr. Gosier to come before them to explain the:
windmill illumination.
OTHER MATTERS

15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21, 24. 25, 26 & 27 - Complaint from Brafman re Windmill Illumination
(Reference is made to the 25 August 2015 Minutes of this Board for additional information regarding
this complaint.)
Chair Wickwire recognized Jim Gosier, General Counsel for the applicant, who was appearing before the
Board, as requested, in response to a complaint regarding the LED illumination of the company's
windmills at this facility. She felt that the windmills are not illuminated as the Board thought they
would be, i.e., a constant color of lights indicating what was currently being produced at the plant. She
stated that what she observed looked like "the State Fair from 690." The windmills (2) have vanes that
are illuminated with multi -colored LED lights that appear to be "shooting" outwards. She asked Mr.
Gosier if there was some compromise they could come up with? Member Nick Renzi read from the
Minutes of this Board's 2/26/13 Minutes, as follows:
Jim Gosier explained that they were proposing seven decorative windmills at four different
heights: 45 feet, 66 feet, 75 feet, and 90 feet. He stated they had applied to the ZBA for a
variance. One of the windmills will be operating an aerator for the proposed pond.
They
Page 1 of 6
NOV 12 2015
(T) Cortlandville Planning Board Regular Meeting Minutes 29 September 2015
proposed to illuminate the blades displaying different colored lights to establish a landmark and
to indicate "what's going on in the plant," e.g., yellow for making -cheese day. They will be the
old-fashioned farm -type windmills.
Member Newell asked if the lights were on all night, and Mr. Gosier stated they were. Mr. Gosier then
read from the Board's Minutes of 3/26/13, as follows:
Mr. Gosier and Andy Ramsgarten gave a PowerPoint presentation on the development of the.
project, including the proposed seven windmills near Route 13. They will be lighted by LED
lights which change color with the windspeed/temperature.
Mr. Gosier advised that "we can make them do anything we want." There's an unlimited number of
colors they can be, the colors can be muted or brightened, there can be eight colors or one color on a
windmill. He thought the complaint the Board received was right after Byrne turned on the windmill
lights and they did not yet have complete control of them. Member John Finamore reported he had
gone by the site twice in the past week and the display is nothing like it was before. Mr. Gosier stated
that they have muted down and changed the colors of the lights. He also added that Byrne has never
been advised of nor received any complaints, written or otherwise, until they were contacted by Member
Renzi and PZO Weber. Also, there's a better chance than not that there will not be seven windmills
there, he said.
At the end of this discussion, the Board agreed to look at the site as it is now and, if there are still any
concerns, report them to PZO Weber who will contact Mr. Gosier.
The Board tanked Attorney Gosier for appearing in response to their request.
Leonidas Group of Virail. LLC. Applicant/Robert Ferris. Reputed Owner - Starr Road - TM #96.10-
01-19.100 - Proposed PUD
Chair Wickwire recognized Al Kryger and Attorney Mike Shafer, representing the applicant. Mr. Kryger
distributed Drawing #ST -4 of 9/24/15 which he stated was a modification to the Landscaping Plan; he
explained what was modified. Attorney Shafer explained the reasoning for this type of a development
and stated it would not go forward unless the "financing is in place," and enough units are committed to
be purchased. Mr. Kryger advised that the price range for a 1000 SF single-family would be from
$120,000 to $140,000.
Member Finamore asked if there were any flooding issues in the area. Bob Ferris, who owns the subject
property, which is under contract) was not sure what he was speaking of. Runoff from the hill has been
a problem for years.
After a relatively brief discussion, Attorney Shafer asked the Board to hold a Public Hearing on .the
proposed PUD. PZO Weber and Town Attorney Folmer advised that this would be done after the
application is considered complete. There are development standards, etc., that need to be reviewed.
Chair Wickwire commented that this has not yet been sent to County Planning as a completed
application. Member DelVecchio stated he is concerned with a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
Member Renzi commented that there needs to be more details on the plans; a SWPPP is not needed at
the stage. The Board just received a revised Site Plan tonight; a special meeting may be needed.
Member Renzi stated that the Board may want to retain the services of Clough Harbour Associates to
review what is being proposed; Chair Wickwire agreed. Attorney Folmer suggested a special meeting
could be a work session to go through the list of what is needed so Attorney Shafer and the Board are on
the same page. Once everyone was satisfied, then the Board could make a decision as to whether or not
an outside consulting firm is needed. The Board needs to solidify and identify what is required.
Attorney Shafer stated they will address what items they can. PZO Weber will set up a meeting when
Engineer Tim Buhl is available. Attorney Folmer stated that at this time, the plans/ application are not
considered complete.
No Action Taken.

Extension of Conditional Permit
Chair Wickwire recognized Andrew Porter, representing the applicant. Member Renzi asked Mr. Porter if
he had seen the 24 September 2015 complaint letter from Mr. Matt Petrella who owns a body shop
business not an adjacent parcel; he had, and stated he has talked with Mr. Petrella, and Mr. Porter
advised that that he told Mr. Petrella they would fix all the problems. (A copy of this letter has been
placed on file for the record.)
Chair Wickwire stated that someone has been dumping on the subject parcel. Mr. Porter stated he had
seen this, but did not know who was responsible. Chair Wickwire then read aloud Mr. Petrella's
requested conditions for providing Bestway with an extension; she feels they are reasonable.
At the conclusion of this discussion, a motion was made by Member Renzi that the applicant is to
provide details at the 27 October 2015 Planning Board meeting regarding the extension request
for the Conditional Permit, and a timeline of when the work will be completed. The motion was
seconded by Member Newell with the vote recorded as follows:

Conditional Permit for auto/truck sales and storage. A Revised Site Plan (dated 5 August 2015)
accompanied the application. The applicant also informed the Board that he would like to add onto his
garage and this would bring up the lot coverage issue. PZO Weber advised that this Planning Board
can grant a Special Permit for an increase in lot coverage.
The Board briefly discussed the problems associated with the adjacent Economy Paving property. Mr.
Barden stated that he will have his site the way indicated on the Revised Site Plan by December 1,
2015.

Permit for an increase in lot coverage, as requested. The -motion was seconded by Member

Chair Wickwire stated that if everything is complete, then it needs to be forwarded to the Cortland

the Board has 45 days to hold a Public Hearing which could be held at next month's meeting, or a
special meeting could be scheduled. He stated that if the Board would like to send the additional

Planning Board's comments: "Within five days of completion of application..." If the Board determines
that, at this meeting, this , is a complete application, then technically the time would start now for a
public hearing.

#s 77.00-04-11.111 & 112 - Conditional Permit Aquifer Protection District Special Permit,,
Development Permit for Flood Hazard Areas, Subdivision (Lot Line Adiustmentl
PZO Weber advised the Board that the Town ZBA, at their meeting immediately preceding this meeting,
granted a Use Variance which was required as the addition of an access road, parking area, and
equipment storage for this business is considered an expansion of the present use of the existing
property (trash transfer station).
Chair Wickwire recognized the applicant who explained that they wanted to use the subject parcels they
plan to purchase from Suit-Kote for another access to their property, additional parking area and
equipment storage for an existing adjacent transfer station which he owns. Chair Wickwire noted that
County Resolution recommended approval of these applications, contingent upon eight items. One of
the items was that the applicant submit a detailed description as to the number and type of equipment
to be stored in the proposed parking area. Mr. Leach then displayed a framed aerial photo of his
business site which was taken in September of 2014. He said they currently have three tractor trailers,
roll -offs, dumpsters, etc., that they would like to place on these two additional parcels; they would not
all be there at the same time as they have seasonal -type use.
The Board reviewed the maps accompanying the application. PZO Weber stated there had been a slight
change in the acreage so that it meets the minimum 25% green space requirement.
Mr. Leach stated that the driveway proposed to enter off Lorings Crossing is approximately 67 feet in
length and, with the owner's permission, he has cleared some of this in order to assist in determining
the cost of the driveway installation. They will comply with what the County wants. The parcels are
bordered by National Grid (east), Country Music Park to Route 13, and Lorings Crossing.
PZO Weber commented that the County indicated there was more than 10,000 SF of impervious surface,
so a Stormwater Management Plan will be required. Member Renzi asked the applicant if he had seen
the County report; he replied that he had. Regarding outdoor storage, it will be the equipment already
on his property as shown in the aerial photo. He wants to consolidate it to make more room for snow
removal, etc.
Chair Wickwire asked about the Flood Development Permit and PZO Weber explained that the Permit
will be handled through his office and the items the applicant will be required to submit.
Member Renzi asked if the applicant would maintain the driveway, and he responded "yes." Mr. Leach
stated that the driveway will be constructed to Town Specifications. He has an application pending with
the County to put an entrance on Lorings Crossing. Mr. Leach affirmed that he had read all of the
County's recommendations.
At the conclusion of the discussion, a motion was made by Member DelVecchio to approve the Lot
Line Adjustment, as requested. The motion was seconded by Member Finamore, with the vote
recorded as follows:
Ayes: Chair Wickwire Nays: None

L OTHER MATTERS
Clough-Harbor/Leonidas - Chair Wickwire asked Town Attorney Folmer about retaining CH to
assist in reviewing this large PUD project. He reviewed what could be done. No need to review
those items the Board can handle or resolve. Chair Wickwire suggested the Board would need
the assistance of CH when it comes to density/ calculations; too big a project for the Board to do.
Attorney Folmer suggested determining those items that are of significant concern, needing
assistance, it would cut down time to do the work and expense for the developer. Timing was
discussed. PZO Weber thought it would be better to wait until after the final plans are drawn
up. Conceptually, this Board will give a report to the Town Board on what their feelings are
regarding the proposed PUD. Member Renzi thought that Code, Development Plan, Town Design
Guidelines, etc., should be compared to what's been presented; stormwater may not be
manageable; would like to see CH take a look at the project later on, after public hearing and
after it goes to the Town. Attorney Folmer suggested maybe doing this before it goes to the
Town. PZO Weber read from the Code, giving the process (four options).
• Outside Storaize: Tractor Supply - NYS Route 13 - PZO Weber visited them and property not in
compliance. CEO Williams is following up.
• Outside Storaize: Doug's PowerSports - lots of snowmobiles, etc.
• Outside Storase: HEP - NYS Route 13 - PZO Weber visited site; front storage is as approved.
• Outside Storage: Walmart - NYS Route 13/Bennie Road - Storage trailers there. Christmas
layaway storage? It's an annual violation. Can't they put them more out of sight? Not supposed
to have them at all. PZO Weber was asked to take a look at this. Chair Wickwire says they
should ask for approval to do this.
• Bvrne Dairy Windmills - Illumination concern has been resolved.
r� • Walareen's - Being purchased by Rite-Aid.

PUBLIC HEARING
Leonidas Group of Virgil. LLC. Applicant/ Robert Ferris, Reputed Owner - Starr Road - TM #96.10-
01-19.100 - Proposed PUD (Planned Unit Development)
Chair Wickwire opened the Public Hearing at 7:30 p.m. The Planning Board Secretary read aloud the
Public Hearing Notice as published in the Cortland Standard on 19 November 2015. Proof of Publication
has been placed on file for the record.
Chair Wickwire recognized Al Kryger and Timothy C. Buhl, PE, representing the applicant who was
seeking approval for the development of a 66 -unit residential project (Starr Lite Ridge Residential
Community) at this location. Mr. Kryger gave his background in real estate development and described
what was being proposed for this 11.61± -acre parcel. (An undated Project Narrative by Engineer Buhl
has been placed on file for the record, along with other materials pertaining to this development.)
The applicant's attorney, Mike Shafer, commented on "green space" for the project, and Engineer Buhl
commented regarding proposed drainage on the site and also the percolation test results.
Chair Wickwire asked if there was anyone present who wished to speak regarding this matter; there
were, as follows:
Andrea Tobin - 46 Levudale Park - Asked when digging will start, and where the water is going
to go, and when the "filtration and stuff' will be in place? Engineer Buhl responded that before
the ground is even disturbed, the erosion control plan will have to be set up, etc. The project
will be phased. If there are going to be problems with the drainage, they will know about it
beforehand.
Martu Wirsie - 3658 Abdallah Avenue - Asked about the swale that was being proposed and
how it could potentially impact the runoff problems that they already have on Abdallah Avenue.
Mr. Buhl explained how the proposed project will remedy the existing drainage problem. It is
expected there will be a "zero discharge."
Toni D. Williams - 1238 Isabel Drive - Concerned about increase in traffic. Mr. Buhl advised
that a trip generation estimate had been made, and he explained the resulting numbers. Ms.
Williams thinks the added traffic exiting onto Starr Road is a hazard. Many pedestrians
walking along the road, including children in strollers. Maybe road should be widened.
Donna Johnson - 7 Louise Drive = Concerned with number of units compared to Parti Drive.
Likes idea. Asked about garages proposed and cost of units. Mr. Buhl and Mr. Kryger
answered her question about garages. Yes, there will be garages. Purchase price of homes,
$140,000±; there will be some rent -to -own units.
Dan Mones - 32 Abdallah Avenue - Asked about multi -unit buildings and how "rent -to -own"
works; Mr. Kryger explained.
Tim Carmodu - 27 Isabel Drive - Asked about rental agreement.

A N 2 5 2016
(T) Cortlandville Planning Board Public Hearing & Regular Meeting Minutes 1 December 2015
Attorney Mike Shafer explained that there will be a Homeowner's Association formed, and that
association will maintain the roads, etc.
Tom Crompt (?) - 23 Abdallah Avenue - There will be 220 cars using that street; concerned
about present traffic off Abdallah. It's going to be worse. Within five years, house will not be
worth what he paid for it.
Martu Wirsie - 3658 Abdallah Avenue - What kind of written assurance is there to make sure, if
project goes "belly up," who will take care of the place? Mr. Kryger advised about the
Homeowner's Association, and in response, Mr. Wirsie stated it sounded like the Town would
have nothing to do with it. What if Homeowner's Association goes "belly up"? Will there be a
minimum dollar amount for these units? Engineer Buhl explained how each property owner
will contribute to the Association; there's a capital reserve fund that will be created. Attorney
Shafer explained further; it's like a corporation.
David Funk (for mother-in-law) - 19 Abdallah Avenue - Also concerned about Homeowner's
Association. Mr. Kryger answered his questions, as did Attorney Shafer who explained what
goes into forming an Association.
Michael J. Reaaan - 1181 Starr Road - Drivers taking risk turning onto Starr Road; had two
accidents over past two years. Very concerned about traffic. He does not use public water; well
is used. Will ruin the enjoyment of his own property. It takes 10 minutes to get out of h is
driveway sometimes. People walking along there all the time. No shoulders there, but there's a
5 -ft. deep ditch along road.
Chris Tier - 34 Abdallah Avenue - Stated he was also representative of elderly neighbor.
Cortlandville has never addressed the flooding issue on Parti Drive and Starr Road. Are you
sending water over to his house next? Flooding issue needs to be addressed first by the Town.
Doesn't think drains will be sufficient. Don't need increase in traffic. Kids play in the street,
and it's a racetrack. If development goes defunct, what does this do to his property value?
Engineer Buhl advised that the proposed project involves the input/review of many agencies,
e.g., the NYSDEC, Cortland County Health Department, Cortland County Soil & Water,
Cortlandville Highway Department, County Planning, etc. Asked if there would be an increase
in crime rate. Again asks what happens if "this all dissolves"? Mr. Kryger once again
explained what the Homeowner's Association would be responsible for.
Barbara Wood - 28 Abdallah Avenue - Asked about proposed drainage and how it will be;
Engineer Buhl, using his preliminary drawing, explained how this would be handled. He also
explained the other details/ drawings he is required to prepare.
Kevin Pristash - 3607 Parti Drive - A document has been received by neighborhood. Wanted to
know if Board had received same. Project has been to County Planning who formulated their
recommendations; commented on County's comments/vote. Drawing does not have road "up
to Town spec." Also concerned about traffic and past accidents; now adding another road to
this. Flooding is a big issue. Mr. Kryger responded that design details have not been
completed. This Public Hearing is to consider their application for changing an R-2 District to
Residential PUD. Attorney Shafer stated that the Town Planning Board will make their
recommendation to the Town Board. If a positive recommendation, then the Town Board, in
turn, will hold another Public Hearing. The applicant would then be required to submit a
complete stormwater plan and a complete design. If the Residential PUD is approved by the
Town, then it comes back to the Town Planning Board again for a full review.
Anna Alteri - 3576 Parti Drive - Moved away from Cortland to reside in South Carolina for ten
years. One of SC homes was in a gated community with Homeowner's Association (HOA).
Second home by same developer was outside of the HOA; homeowners were responsible for
home upkeep, etc. Development was not kept up (entrance, landscaping, etc.) outside her
property. Streets no longer kept up. Wanted people present to know that an HOA can dissolve.
Mr. Kryger stated that what they are proposing will not operate the same way.
Lisa Foster - 3596 Parti Drive - Stated she had "typed -up" statement and then had some
questions. (Secretary not provided with copy of statement.) Appreciated design of project to
Page 2 of 10

JAN 2, 2016
(T) Cortlandville Planning Board Public Hearing & Regular Meeting Minutes 1 December 2015
n place single-family homes abutting homes on Parti, Drive, with. multi -units being "on the other
side." Also' appreciated Mr. Kryger's invitation to meet with the area residents at the Red
Dragon.. Not opposed to development in general, but.many of residents object to the density.
Properties on two sides contain single-family homes; proposal is double what is in area. Does
not conform to area: Abdallah, Levydale, Louise,- Isabel, Starr Road, Parti Drive all consist of
single-family homes. Suggested making the. subject parcel "green space." Also concerned
with: light pollution, even with down -lighting as a lot of the residents are "at the bottom"; noise
pollution with -over 200' people living in this . development; increased traffic w/66 units—if two
cars per unit, it's over 130 cars "zipping up and down"; increase in animals—the more dogs
there are in concentrated area, the barking goes up. Hopes owner is successful in. selling this
property, but is looking to have a similar, single-family development. "Try to put yourself in
our shoes." Too much in. a tight space. Will the Board require a bond or letter of credit in case
project runs out of money before it's completed? PZO Weber read from the Code re provisions
for final approval, one of which was "the Town Board may require the posting of such
performance guarantees as it deems necessary..." Ms. Foster then asked if the project did not
get approved, will the developers go ahead and do something else (single-family or duplexes)?
Mr. Kryger explained there were a minimum number of units needed in order to make the
project financially viable. Ms. Foster then questioned having water -filled ponds; will they be
filled with water? Engineer Buhl answered that they will, temporarily; they eventually drain
out and are empty the majority of the time. She then asked how long a time does the public
have ' to present petitions to the Board; she has 85-90 homeowners who have signed a petition
against the proposed project. PZO Weber advised: 45 days from the date_ of this public hearing.
Chair Wickwire commented that all the Planning Board does is make a recommendation to the
Town Board after reviewing the preliminary plans. The Town Board then- makes the decision as
to whether or not this is a viable PUD. If they think it is, then the developer returns with the
full design completed. Petitions should be given to the Town Board and the Planning Board.
Toni D. Williams - 1238 Isabel Drive - When you started looking at this property, did you ever"
come across the map of Perplexity Creek? How would this project impact this "natural creek?"
Mark Roberts - 21 Abdallah Avenue - How will units be built/ sold? Mr. Kryger stated has not
gone into that kind of detail; we need to know first of we receive a PUD designation.
With everyone heard who wished to be heard, a motion was, made at 9:02 p.m. by Member
Finamore to close the Public Hearing. The motion was 'seconded by Member Newell, with
the vote recorded. as follows:
Ayes: Chair Wickwire Nays: None

Meilinda Susman. Applicant/ Paradigm Properties. Reputed Owner - 3266 Walden Oaks Boulevard
- TM # 106.05-01-24.000 - PUD Revision
Chair Wickwire recognized Dan Clark, representing the applicant who was seeking a PUD revision as
explained in her 20 November 2015 letter to this Board, a copy of which has been placed on file for the
record. PZO Bruce Weber explained that the applicant is proposing to use the subject lot for a two-
family dwelling, instead of the previous day care center which never materialized. He also stated a
variance would be needed for the lot width requirement from the ZBA, and Site Plan approval from this
Board. The Board's role at this meeting is to consider making a recommendation to the Town Board
whether or not to change this lot's designation from a day care center to a two-family dwelling; the Town
Board would need to make this change because it's a PUD.
With no. further discussion, a motion was made by Member Newell to recommend that the Town
Board make the PUD change, as requested. The motion was seconded by Member Finamore, with
the vote recorded as follows:

COMMENTS ON THE PUD PROJECT
PRESENTED BY
THE LEONIDAS GROUP OF VIRGIL. LLC
By Nick Renzi, Cortlandville Town Planning Board Member -1 December 2015
Backaround
The County Planning Department has reviewed all submitted materials and their report dated November 13,
2015 includes their comments and sixteen recommendations. The County Planning Board in their Resolution
No. 15-32 supported the Planning Department's recommendations.
A letter from Mike Shafer dated October 30, 2015 provides comments on the original Planning Department's
recommendations.
Comments
1. The applicant has not provided a finalized and detailed stormwater management system design.
2. The comments relative to the County Planning Department/Board are in many cases presented as will be
done once approval is granted.
3. The ability of the proposed site to handle stormwater infiltration has yet to be determined and is an
important part of the stormwater system design.
4. The impact of the development on the surrounding properties as to flooding and traffic has yet to be
defined.
5. The impact of the project on surrounding properties relative to privacy, property values and noise has not
been addressed.
6. In August of 2003, the Town Code was amended to include Article XXlll titled Design and Development
Guidelines. These guidelines define specific design features that should be considered and/or avoided
when considering new residential developments. Pages 178-112 to 178-125 define in great detail the
guidelines that should be addressed. There is no mention in any of the applicant's submittals that these
guidelines have been addressed or acted upon.
Recommendation
My recommendation is that the applicant provides a more comprehensive submittal including the design of
the stormwater management system and a detailed narrative with drawing changes that reflect on the Design
and Development Guidelines.
In addition, the finalized application which would include all drawings, stormwater management system
design, comments on the County's latest recommendations and comments on how the proposed project has
addressed the Town's Design and Development Guidelines be submitted to Clough Harbour and Associates
for their review and comments.
Member Renzi commented that required reading should be 178-54 and 178-57D of the Town Code, of
which he read a portion. He asked how this Board could make a recommendation to the Town Board
without getting "deeper into the development," especially regarding the Design Guidelines. Mr. Kryger
then submitted drawings of the proposed homes which would not look like "row houses." Engineer Buhl
stated that he can provide stormwater documents to demonstrate the design will take care of a 100 -year
storm. Chair Wickwire commented on the heavy density of this project, and again thought the Board
needed to postpone their recommendation until the scheduled meeting of 29 December 2015. Attorney
Mike Shafer reminded the Board that they were making only a recommendation based on the criteria for
the PUD in the Ordinance; then it will come back before this Board for a full SWPPP, etc. Chair
Wickwire countered that "We're trying to look at this and say, is this a PUD that we want to recommend
to the Town Board?" Attorney Folmer then suggested that, "in the meantime, you be very careful and
read the sections of the Code that outline the process that you're going through. Your recommendation
to the Town Board, at this stage, is governed by the section I just pointed out... Does this conceptually
fall into the category that could be a PUDT' He felt the Board needed to "(1) take into account tonight's
comments, (2) review Code sections carefully so you have better idea of what it is that you're doing in
this process at this point in that process, and (3) by the 29th,. you should each have
Page 6 of 10
a
JAN' 2016
(T) Cortlandville Planning Board Public Hearing & Regular Meeting Minutes 1 December 2015
made an individual determination on those criteria that you can discuss that would go with your
recommendation to the Town Board."
At the conclusion of this lengthy discussion, Member Renzi made a motion to postpone the proposed
PUD recommendation until the 29 December 2015 meeting of this Board. The motion was
seconded by Member DelVecchio, with the vote recorded as follows:
Ayes: Chair Wickwire Nays: None

This becomes Action #82 of 2015.
Brian R. Buttner. RA. dba ADR Associates. Av_ vlicant/Arthur Bell, Jr., Revuted Owner - Lot 54,
Blue Creek Road - TM #76.00-07-03.000 - Site Plan re Provosed Single Duvlex Ranch -Style
Homes
Chair Wickwire recognized the applicant and owner who presented a Site Plan depicting two duplex
housing units on this 2.73± -acre parcel, as shown on and described in the materials accompanying the
application. Mr. Buttner stated he had received new information which he distributed to the Board.
The updated plan was submitted as a result of a visit from the Corps of Engineers who found a small
wetland area onsite, requiring them to move what is indicated as Parcels A and B farther to the east, as
shown. Parcel A, he commented, has been determined to be a legal lot by PZO Weber. The owner would
like to construct a single -duplex ranch -style dwelling on each parcel. Density of the proposed
development is consistent with the area, and two-family dwellings are permitted in the Ag zone, with
Planning Board approval. There will be a permanent right-of-way along the east edge of Parcel A, as
shown on the drawing.
Mr. Buttner explained that the duplex homes will be rented, catering to seniors and/or professional
couples.
After considerable discussion, Chair Wickwire read aloud an email (12/l/15) she had received from
neighborhood resident Ann McLorn. Some of her comments have been taken care of by the revised plan
submitted at this meeting.
Member Renzi, read from the Department of the Army Buffalo District, Corps of Engineers, letter dated
17 November 2015 regarding the existing wetlands on this property. Since there will be no disturbance
in the area, he did not think there was any problem and no Permit will be required. Member Renzi
stated it would be nice to have this in writing.
At the conclusion of this extensive discussion, a motion was made by Member Newell to approve Site
Plan for the proposed single duplex ranch -style homes on two lots, as requested, conditioned upon
compliance with the requirements of the Cortland County Health Department, the Department of
the Army Buffalo District Corps of Engineers, and that the easement shall be created as shown on
the Site Plan. The motion was seconded by Member Finamore, with the vote recorded as follows:
Ayes: Chair Wickwire Nays: None

woods.

Zoning Text Amendment Relating to Location/Operation of Retail Petroleum Sales
Chair Wickwire acknowledged receipt of a letter from Engineer Timothy C. Buhl regarding his opposition
to the proposed Zoning Text Amendment, a copy of which has been placed on file for the record. Board
members had also received "Comments on the Proposed Zoning Text Amendment Regarding the Location
and Operation of Retail Petroleum Sales" from Member Renzi, dated 22 December 2015, as follows:
BACKGROUND
Currently, gasoline stations are not permitted in any zoning district in the Town except the
B-3 District in shopping centers with special permit. ,
Cortlandville has five gasoline stations. The Sunoco station -located on the corner of Route
222 and Route 281, the Red Apple located on McLean Road and Route 13 and three located
south on Route 11. The City of Cortland has six gas stations on its main thoroughfares,
easily available to travelers into and out of Cortlandville. To the south of Cortlandville
there are three gas stations on Route 13 and to the north on Route 281 there are three gas
stations. The total number of gas stations in and around Cortlandville is seventeen.
The way the Town Code is written currently, gas stations can be located in the
Agricultural, R-1, R-2, R-3 Districts by applying for and obtaining a use variance from the
Town Zoning Board of Appeals. The same is true for the other Districts.
Previous applications for the gas stations within Cortlandville have been denied based
upon the need to minimize the threat to the sole source. aquifer that provides drinking
water to the Town's residents.
PROPOSED ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT DESCRIPTION AND COMMENTS
The proposed amendment as written would maintain the current restrictions of not
allowing gas stations in the Agricultural, R-1, R-2 and R-3 Districts but adds the Area 1A
of the wellhead protection area.
The intent of the proposed zoning text amendment is not clear since any prohibited use
called out for any of the districts can be appealed by submitting a variance request to the
Zoning Board of Appeals: Adding the 1A area to the restrictions carried by the
Agricultural District, R-1, R-2 and R-3 Districts does nothing since variances currently can
be applied for and possibly granted.

(T) Cortlandville Planning Board Regular Meeting Minutes
29 December 2015
An approved variance, coupled with site plan approval and issuance of a Conditional
1 Permit and an approved Aquifer Protection Permit gasoline stations, could result in gas
stations being located anywhere in Cortlandville. Highly unlikely, but entirely possible.
On the other hand, if the proposed amendment were located in the Town's Code outside of
the Zoning section, a variance request would never come into play.
GENERAL COMMENTS
1. The Cortlandville Town Code in Article X Aquifer Protection District, which was added
in May of 1988, twenty-seven years ago, has very specific definitions of the various areas
and highlight the importance of these areas necessary to preserve the integrity of the
sole source aquifer.
2. Within Article X the Restrictions and requirements section 178-45 lists in .paragraph A
Prohibitive uses and activities subparagraph (7) Gas stations, solid waste disposal
facilities and junkyards are prohibited in Areas I and II.
3. The Town Board's proposed zoning amendment as written and located in the zoning
section of the Town Code neither adds or reduces restrictions since variance requests
and approvals are possible.
4. If the Town Board desires to facilitate establishing additional areas to place retail
petroleum sales operations beyond what is currently allowed, the action should start
with a needs assessment. Is it necessary to be less restrictive in the protection of the
sole source aquifer? Is the need so critical as to warrant less restrictive protection of the
aquifer? Once a realistic need has been defined, then the Town Board should consult
with technical experts knowledgeable in aquifer hydrology to determine if the need can
be satisfied- without jeopardizing the integrity of the aquifer. The recommendations of
the technical people should be the basis of any change to the Town Code.
% 5. Once areas are defined that could accommodate gas stations without compromising the
sole source aquifer, then those areas should be specifically identified and spelled out in
the Code outside of zoning.
6. In the 2002 draft report titled "Delineation of Wellhead Protection areas for the Town of
Cortlandville and City of Cortland" the travel time for the lA zone was defined as 2 -year
travel time and Zone 1B as 5 -year travel time. It was stated on page 4 relative to zone
1B "This zone represents a significant risk of contamination to the well, but not as high
as Zone 1A."
CLOSEOUT STATEMENT
The proposed zoning text proposal as written and located in the Zoning section does
nothing to restrict or facilitate gas stations within Cortlandville.
The need for additional gas stations should be defined first followed by recommendations
from a technical body to see if we can safely modify our Town Code to facilitate retail
gasoline sales without compromising the current and future integrity of our sole source
aquifer. The work, knowledge and recommendations of Todd Miller and Pat Reidy are
required to formulate a plan 'to facilitate additional gas station locations _ within
Cortlandville.
Considering the importance of the sole source aquifer and the existence of seventeen gas
stations in and around Cortlandvine it begs the question as to why this matter is even
being brought up for discussion. Although the Town code may be somewhat restrictive,
considering the importance of the sole source aquifer the originators of the code acted with
an abundance of caution based on hydrological science, which up to now has served us well.
These comments are those of Nick Renzi, Planning Board Member, and in no way represent
1 the opinion of the Cortlandville Planning Board.

(T) Cortlandville Planning Board Regular Meeting Minutes 29 December 2015
The Board discussed what the proposed. amendment would allow or prohibit. The Board did not support
- the proposed change in the zoning text regarding this matter, and agreed with Member Renzi's
comments. Chair Wickwire stated she would like Member Renzi's comments (with the exception of his
last sentence) forwarded to the Town Board; Town Attorney John Folmer said he would convey, this
Board's comments to the Town Board.
Chair Wickwire commented that this Planning Board has worked for many, years to protect the .sole
source aquifer, and what has been done in the past has accomplished this' with the Code as it is, it's
kept the water clean and have had no problems. What we have works.
At the conclusion of the discussion,. a motion was made by Member DelVecchio that the
Cortlandville Town Planning Board recommends to the Cortlandville Town Board that they
consider the written comments of Planning Board Member Renzi (excluding the last sentence),
and the letter from Timothy C. Buhl, PE, to be an expression of the opinion of the Planning Board
in non-support of the proposed change. The motion was seconded by Member Newell, with the

Chair Wickwire. recognized Steve Terwilliger, proprietor of a Sunoco fueling station on NYS Route 13,
who asked, "Why the change?" . PZO Weber responded that would be a question for the Town Board.
Mr. Terwilliger stated he had talked with the Cortland County Planning people and they thought "by
voting affirmative to this; they were actually strengthening the rules against gas stations coming in."
Chair Wickwire agreed that County Planning did feel that way, but she didn't think they "really
understood it."
