preliminary. plans 'and maps,. was provided to Board members. A facility like this one is, he said,
presently in Dryden.

stated the facility would be obscured -by thick plantings/tree line serving as a landscape buffer. There

we're there," he stated. Member Newelcommented that the units should blend in with the landscaping.

think there was, room there. PZO Weber commented this was just the beginning of a long process.

facility will -be a .secure one and they will have from one to two persons onsite. He also added that the.:
facility was for the community as a whole. The. Dryden facility will be open. in May.

Associates, his engineer, pertaining to stormwater on the subject site. A copy of this letter has been
placed on file for the record. PZO Weber stated that there was supposed to be a Stormwater Plan but it

Drive - TM #95.20-03-01.000 - Change of Zone, Conditional Permit & Aauifer Protection District
Special Permit - Proposed Communitv Solar Grid
PZO Weber advised the Board that this property, which is located on a vacant lot at the end of
Wellington Drive immediately west of Walden Oaks Golf Course, is part of a Planned Unit Development
and will require a Change of Zone (to Agriculture) to proceed further to construct a solar array for use as
a community solar grid.
Chair Wickwire recognized Jared Pantella and Melissa Clark, of Abundant Solar Power, who made a
PowerPoint presentation which explained, in detail, about the company and what was planned, what it
was, how it worked, visual screening, what it will look like, the benefits, etc. The proposed "array"
requires maintenance about four times a year, and there is a "decommissioning plan" included which
would return the site to its original condition. Usual life of the facility is 25 to 30 years. The property
j contains 16± acres and the fenced -in array (7500 panels) will cover about 3.5 acres; 2 megawatts will be
generated. Mr. Pantella showed photos of their array in Dryden which is owned by Cornell University.
Chair Wickwire asked about traffic on Wellington Drive, and Mr. Pantella stated that the largest amount
of traffic would be during construction; after construction, the only traffic would be the routine
maintenance, four times a year. The proposed array would be approximately 60 feet from the creek.
Mr. Pantella indicated that the first step in the "process" was to obtain a Change of Zone to Agriculture,
rather than a PUD. This would be done through the Cortlandville Town Board. Abundant Solar Power
plans to purchase the property if this is approved. PZO Weber commented that the area's density would
not be affected at all. The applicant needs a determination by September in order to proceed with the
purchase.
PZO Weber advised that the applications need to be referred to the Cortland County Planning Board for
their review.
At the conclusion of this extensive discussion, including many technical questions being answered by
Melissa Clark, a motion was made by Member Newell to send the applications for a Change of Zone,
Conditional Permit, and Aquifer Protection District Special Permit to the Cortland County
Planning Department for their review. The motion was seconded by Member Renzi, with the vote
recorded as follows:
Ayes: Chair Wickwire Nays: None

(T) Cortlandville Planning Board Regular Meeting Minutes
25 July 2017
Chair Wickwire recognized Nicholas Huber who stated that an application for Conditional and Aquifer
Protection District Special Permits had been submitted, partly as a result of their receiving a copy of the
J Clough Harbour Associates Engineering Report. He then explained the applicant's responses to the
hardships encountered regarding sale of property, etc., all as required to obtain a Use Variance from the
Town's Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA). Member Renzi complimented Mr. Huber on the work that went
into compiling the data. PZO Bruce Weber advised that the Town's ZBA had asked the Town Board to
act as Lead Agency under SEQRA, and that the SEQRA needed to be completed before the project would
go to the ZBA and, then, to the Planning Board. Town Attorney John Folmer commented that before
this Board makes any determination, they may consider having a Public Hearing; the Board agreed.
Chair Wickwire stated that she would like to have a public hearing at the next Planning Board meeting
so that everything could be done in a timely manner.
At the close of the brief discussion, a motion was made by Member Newell to schedule a Public
Hearing for 7:30 p.m. on 29 August 2017 for the proposed Self -Storage Facility. The motion was
seconded by Member John DelVecchio, with the vote recorded as follows:

Conditional Permit & Aouifer Protection District Special Permit - Proposed Warehouse
(Reference is made to this Board's Minutes of 27 June 2017 regarding this project; applications were
forwarded to Cortland County Planning at that time.)
Chair Wickwire recognized Andrew Porter, representing the applicant who was seeking a Conditional
Permit and an Aquifer Protection District Special Permit to construct a 60 ft. by 200 ft. cold storage
warehouse for lumber, at the location shown on the aerial maps accompanying the application. Also
submitted was an Engineer's Report, dated 6/20/17, prepared by Brent A. Cross, PE, which detailed
what was being proposed.
Chair Wickwire asked Mr. Porter if he had contacted the airport/FAA regarding the project. Mr. Porter
stated he had and, in talking with Director of County Planning Dan Dineen, when "it's a known non -
obstruction, you can advise; you don't necessarily need to seek permission ... it's 50 feet below their
height restrictions." They have not heard anything from the FAA as of this date.
Lot coverage was discussed. PZO Weber stated that the subject area was previously used for storage so,
when constructing a building on it, it would not change lot coverage. The applicant, however, will need
to address the stormwater runoff in the Stormwater Plan for the property. Mr. Porter responded that the
Stormwater Plan will be submitted; he has been in touch with Pat Reidy of County Soil & Water
regarding a SWPPP. Member Parvizi commented on County Planning's recommendation. PZO Weber
responded that he disagreed with the County's interpretation regarding lot coverage. It is his opinion
that lot coverage is "grandfathered in." Member DelVecchio agreed, so then #1 of the County's
recommendations would not apply.
Chair Wickwire stated that, in addition to the Stormwater Plan, she would like a letter from the FAA.

(Reference is made to this Board's Minutes of 27 June 2017 for previous information provided regarding
this project. At that meeting, the applications were forwarded to Cortland County Planning for their
review.)
Chair Wickwire recognized Jared Pantella of Abundant Solar Power, who stated that he had met with
Cortland County Planning "last Wednesday." Comments were received from that Board and they were
currently working on what was requested. He also reported he had contacted the seller's real estate
agency and was informed that the subject parcel is not within the original "declaration for the
Homeowner's Association." Change of Zone was discussed. PZO Weber advised of the process that
>> would occur. Town Attorney John Folmer advised Mr. Pantella that if the applicant wants to follow a
request in Change of Zone, that application would need to be made to the Town Board who will then
decide where it would go.
Chair Wickwire commented that there were possible recommendations for a moratorium on solar farms
that the Town Board is considering. Attorney Folmer said that the Town Board has had preliminary
discussion regarding enactment of a moratorium, but have not fixed the length of time that one would
exist, which is one of the requirements. This would be considered at their meeting on the first
Wednesday in August (August 2nd). The Planning Board, he advised, is being asked to make a
recommendation to the Town Board regarding a Change of Zone (PUD to Agriculture is requested). Mr.
Pantella commented that he did not know about a proposed moratorium and asked what he should do.

explains everything in detail.
Chair Wickwire asked about fencing, and Mr. Congdon stated that these climate -controlled units were
not considered for fencing, but could be. Member Renzi asked about lighting and landscaping, and Mr.
Congdon responded that the building -mounted lighting would be low intensity. With regard to
landscaping and signage, "we're very big on both." The facility would be "professionally built and

Plan Review Narrative was provided to Board members and has been placed on file for the record.
Mr. 'Schecter stated that he did not know that a moratorium on solar projects in the Town was being

leased. Mr. Schecter said he was Project Manager on the Walmart rooftop on Bennie Road; also
completed is the SUNY Cortland project. SolarCity operates and maintains their facilities.

The Public Hearing was opened at 7:30 p.m. by Chairman Katherine Wickwire, with the Board Secretary
reading aloud the Legal Notice as published in the Cortland Standard on 17 August 2017, as follows:
PURSUANT TO ARTICLE XIV, SECTION 178-74 C 2 OF THE CODE OF THE TOWN OF
CORTLANDVILLE: Notice is hereby given that a public hearing before the Town of
Cortlandville Planning Board, Cortland County, New York, at the Raymond G. Thorpe
Municipal Building, 3577 Terrace Road, in the Town of Cortlandville, New York to be held on
Tuesday, August 29, 2017 at 7:30 p.m. in the matter of the application of Storage Squad, LLC,
for property located on the south side of NYS Route 13, immediately southwest of Vernon
Dr./NYS Route 13, Tax Map #96.06-01-15.210, to construct seven buildings ranging in size
from 2,000 sq. ft. up to 12,000 sq. ft. for purpose of operating a mini storage facility.
KATHERINE S. WICKWIRE, CHAIRPERSON
Cortlandville Planning Board
3577 Terrace Road
Cortland, NY 13045
Chair Wickwire recognized Nicholas Huber who explained that he was the founder/ owner of Storage
Squad, LLC, and was proposing a climate -controlled self -storage facility with seven buildings, totaling
44,300 SF on a 5.25± -acre parcel of the subject property. It will be an enclosed area with a block wall all
the way around the exterior with landscaping, a nice metal gate, paved driveways, flowers and bushes
out front, manicured lawn area, etc.
Chair Wickwire asked if there was anyone present who wished to speak on the matter; there were, as
follows:
Ina Bean - 1152B, The Park - Interested in the access from the back. Mr. Huber responded
that there would be only one access point—from the main road, Tompkins Street; paved 25 -foot
wide driveway with gated access. Cars driving around inside the facility would be completely
encompassed by a block wall or privacy fences.

OCT 2 b 2017
(T) Cortlandville Planning Board Public Hearing & Regular Meeting Minutes 29 August 2017
Tricia Woodward - The Park - There are already many storage facilities, around 13, in the
Cortland area. Is there really a need for this? This one would flood the system. If it doesn't
J fly, what will replace it? Mr. Huber responded that statistics show the need, based on
population. They have done extensive market research and their other facilities are very
successful. Ms. Woodward concerned with additional traffic, closeness of residential area, and
actual need for this. Mr. Huber replied property was zoned for used car lots, bars, restaurants,
fast food, etc. This would provide more traffic than what is proposed. Ms. Woodward reiterated
her concern for a replacement business if the proposed business fails.
Albert Pahlke - Representing Church of the Redeemer, owner of the subject property. Strongly
supports the proposed project. Church tried to sell property for quite a few years. What's
being proposed would be more palatable and less invasive. If sale goes through, church would
be able to do a lot more things for the community, and gave an example of their youth.
Bob Berry (?) - owner of other mini storaae facilitv - Asked Mr. Huber what were four mini
facilities he researched. Mr. Huber did not want to share his marketing information obtained
from firm hired to do the study.
Chair Wickwire commented that the public should be addressing their comments to the Board. Town
Attorney John Folmer reminded those present that "the matter is before the Planning Board this evening
because the Zoning Board of Appeals has asked them to conduct a review under the SEQRA process
before the ZBA acts on their request for a use variance. So the issue before the Planning Board this
evening is to accomplish a review of the SEQRA documentation so that they can send that
recommendation for that review back to the Zoning Board of Appeals. It is my understanding that this
Board is going to perform a Short -Form SEQRA review as it relates to the activities required by the
Zoning Board of Appeals. Once that has been done, then the matter will go back to the Zoning Board
who has to decide whether or not the criteria for a use variance has been met. In the event that they,
the Zoning Board of Appeals, should decide that the criteria has not been met, the variance will not be
granted. If the Zoning Board were to decide that the criteria for a use variance has, in fact, been met,
then the matter will come back here for further review under the SEQRA review for the project as a
whole—because as this Board sits here this evening, there is a lot of information that a successful
applicant before the Zoning Board of Appeals will have to provide: stormwater evaluations, and so on.
And one way to avoid making the applicant spend extremely large sums of money to accomplish studies
only to decide that the Zoning Board is not going to grant the variance seems to be non-productive and
inappropriate. However, I understand that the Board is going to do a Short -Form SEQRA review so that
they can go to the Zoning Board of Appeals. Then the Zoning Board will make its determination based
upon the five requirements for a use variance." He continued his remarks by saying that the issue of
whether or not we need more storage, barbershops, etc. is not the Board's issue to determine; it's up to
the applicant to make that determination.
Greaa McConnell - McLean, NY - Elder at the Redeemer Church. Re -affirmed Albert Pahlke's
comments. This is an opportunity to provide non-invasive use of property that would be
complimentary to the community. Vehicle traffic would be less. It's a clean business. This use
would put property back on the tax rolls.
David Wavman - 22 Abdallah Avenue - What will be done with the field behind it? A lot of it
can't be developed. Mr. Huber responded that the decorative block wall, 17 feet away from the
property line will be constructed. No plans to develop the "back of the property." Haven't
decided whether or not to mow the field or to let it grow.
Attornev Mike Shafer - Asked Town Attorney Folmer about SEQRA. Attorney Folmer responded
that a Long Form EAF will have to be done on the entire project. Mr. Shafer commented he
was very conscious of problems with Zoning Ordinances and there were many places in the
1 Town where storage facilities could be sited. There's no shortage of appropriately zoned spots.
This is not an appropriate use of this property under SEQRA.

(T) Cortlandville Planning Board Public Hearing & Regular Meeting Minutes 29 August 2017
Carol Reed - 3334 NYS Route 215 - Concerned with mowing/not mowing of lot. How high is
the wall? Mr. Huber then apologized for misleading people; wall will actually be "the wall of the
outside of the storage facility." He also stated they would "keep up all the grass, mowing, and
landscape and have it looking very nice."
Nancv Heaslip - 10 Abdallah Avenue - What's purpose of public hearing? Attorney Folmer then
explained that this has to do "with whether or not the Zoning Board of Appeals is going to grant
a variance, and under the SEQRA Regulations, before they do that there has to be some form of
SEQRA review." He then continued, "Mr. Shafer made an interesting point that I think is
important for everybody to consider. The Short Form SEQRA review that this Board will
accomplish this evening will assist the Zoning Board of Appeals in making its determination on
the variance. Should that variance be granted, then it will come back to the Planning Board
and a Long Form SEQRA review, with all of the detailed information, will have to be
accomplished."
Chair Wickwire stated that there will be more than one public hearing, and she explained the process
again. Right now, there is not enough information to do a Long Form in the SEQRA process.
Attornev Mike Shafer - Stated he was concerned about "this whole procedure." Thought "you
should send this thing back and you ought to get a Long Form completed and gone into a full
SEQRA review." Chair Wickwire stated they did have one; James Trasher for CHA, the Town's
engineering firm, then explained the reason for the procedures being utilized, pertaining to a
use variance. Arguments ensued.
Chair Wickwire commented she had never had a public hearing like this. "We let the public talk, we let
them give us their concerns, and we will close the public hearing and go from there."
Steve Jones - 1142B The Park - Concerned with issues of privacy and impact on both market
value of The Park, as well as the marketability of those properties—specifically those properties
abutting the subject property. For 25 years, people have been able to look out at a beautiful
row of trees, hedges, and now we're being asked to look into the side of a building? That's
unacceptable and people should not be treated that way.
Town Attorney Folmer asked the church representatives if it was accurate that the subject property was
donated by Ms. Abdallah; Gregg McConnell stated that it was his understanding the property was
donated (in 1983) for purpose of building a church. He did not know the exact facts or of any deed
restrictions, but they have not looked at any instruments of conveyance.
With everyone heard who wished to be heard, at 8:10 p.m., a motion was made by
Member Newell to close the Public Hearing, seconded by Member DelVecchio,
with all those present voting in favor.
Chair Wickwire asked Attorney Folmer how to proceed, and he responded that the Board could do a
Long Form SEQRA review, but they may find they do not have sufficient information. Alternatives were
discussed at length. Attorney Folmer advised that the Board (1) should require a Long Form SEQRA
evaluation with all supporting documentation required, and (2) should advise the ZBA that when that
review is completed, the Planning Board will make that report to them. Chair Wickwire did not agree. A
lengthy discussion followed between Attorney Folmer, Engineer Trasher, Chair Wickwire, and Mr. Huber
regarding SEQRA Regulations. Engineer Trasher concluded that he would recommend that the
applicant withdraw the application and figure out the proper application_ as it relates to a Use Variance
and supply all supporting documentation. Mr. Huber stated he would like to go before the ZBA "and
present my case."
Attorney Folmer said that his problem was that "the State Law required there to be a SEQRA Review in
advance of the granting of a use variance; it has to have a SEQRA Review."
Chair Wickwire commented that "this is not how it should work. I talked to the State a year ago at a
training session. I said this is crazy; all you're doing is making the contractor spend a lot of money not
�1 even knowing if they're going to be able to go forward with it. He agreed that it was crazy, but that was
the law."

(T) Cortlandville Planning Board Public Hearing & Regular Meeting Minutes 29 August 2017
Engineer Trasher gave the Planning Board different alternatives. More discussion followed. At its
�'- conclusion, it was decided to proceed with the SEAF, with the statements/ questions being read aloud by
_ Engineer Trasher, with the responses being recorded by PZO Bruce Weber. The Board felt there would
be a change in the land use/zoning, a moderate to large impact. Attorney Folmer advised that, "In part
three, you should indicate that a zoning variance is required, and that comment ought to explain away
the reason that you decided that that was medium to large." Engineer Trasher added that "additional
studies will be required by the Planning Board and Town Board should a use variance be permitted."
Further studies will be needed. It's "no or small to moderate because they'll have to meet the
requirements of the NYSDEC, the Town of Cortlandville Aquifer Protection, and other stormwater
standards. We assume mitigation will occur, but we have not seen those plans, so those things will need
to be forthcoming," commented Engineer Trasher.
Attorney Folmer said, "I think you should go back and make a comment regarding your determination
that this will not, will the proposed action impair the character or quality of the existing community? I
think you need to go back and put something in about that because there was discussion among
yourselves as to whether or not it should be large or small. And I think that Mr. DelVecchio pointed out
there are two questions; one was character, and one was quality. And I think that you should ... a
statement that.you did consider both of those criteria before you made a determination. I would suggest
we add something to that effect."
Discussion of a Positive Declaration v. a Negative Declaration was held. Chair Wickwire asked the
applicant, "Why didn't you just come in with a Change of Zone application, to see if you could change it?
It's none of my business how you do it, but this is what's happened because of this. You don't own the
land. The church owns the land. They tried to sell it. They're the ones claiming a hardship. You're the
one that wants to build on it, you're the one that's spending all the money to build on it. This is nuts.
We're going around in circles here." She continued, "You know what? Why don't we just all — it's
quarter of nine. We've spent way too much time on this at this point and still we don't know what we're
doing. So I think that we should postpone this until next month until everybody can get together you
can decide what you want to do, the church can decide what they want to do. Maybe you should all
meet in a room somewhere and decide what you want to do, and then we can meet ... we've had our
public hearing, well meet next month and do this, one way or another."
A motion was then made by Member Newell to postpone these applications until the 26 September
2017 meeting of the Town of Cortlandville Planning Board. The motion was seconded by Member
Renzi, with the vote recorded as follows:

Conditional Permit & Aouifer Protection District Special Permit - Proposed Warehouse
(Reference is made to this Board's Minutes of 27 June and 25 July 2017 regarding this project; at the
July meeting, additional information had been requested from the applicant.)
Chair Wickwire recognized Andrew Porter and Engineer Brent Cross, representing the applicant who was
seeking a Conditional Permit and an Aquifer Protection District Special Permit to construct a 60 ft. by
200 ft. cold storage warehouse for lumber, at the location shown on the aerial maps accompanying the
application. Also submitted was an Engineer's Report, dated 6/20/17, prepared by Brent A. Cross, PE,
which detailed what was being proposed.
Chair Wickwire asked Mr. Porter if he had heard anything from the FAA as of this date. An 8/20/17
"No Hazard to Air Navigation" report had been received and placed on file for the record.
Regarding a Stormwater Management Plan, Engineer Cross stated he had spoken to Pat Reidy of County
Soil & Water regarding this and did not realize Mr. Reidy would be looking for a "DEC solution." He
stated he was looking for some demonstration that the stormwater provision meets the DEC regulation;
therefore, he provided an Engineer's Report, dated 29 August 2017, describing what the proposal is, a
copy of which has been placed on file for the record. Nothing changes the SWPPP already in place, he
said. Chair Wickwire advised that the Board needed something in writing from Mr. Reidy. PZO Weber
stated he has also discussed this with Mr. Reidy.
At the conclusion of the discussion, a motion was made by Member DelVecchio to approve the
Conditional Permit for the proposed warehouse, as requested, conditioned upon receipt of SWPPP
approval from Pat Reidy of County Soil & Water. The motion was seconded by Member Newell,

he was still working on the aesthetics of the building, and showed the Board elevations of the proposed

Lead Agencv Determination for Use Variance. Site Plan Review, Conditional Permit & Aquifer
Protection District Special Permit - Proposed Fuel Storage Tanks
PZO Bruce Weber advised that T. James Marshall of E & V Energy was present and the proposed project
would be similar to what has occurred with Storage Squad in that a Use Variance is required, as well as
a Conditional Permit and an Aquifer Protection District Special Permit. The Zoning Board of Appeals has
requested that the Town Board act as Lead Agency under SEQRA. In a discussion with Attorney Folmer
and Mr. Trasher of CHA regarding how to deal with this, given what has transpired at tonight's meeting,
PZO Weber asked if they were of the opinion that something different should be done than what has
previously been discussed as the process.
Town Attorney Folmer responded that, in the future, an application for a use variance should be
accepted, whether or not a Conditional Permit is required or not. "We should not have all three at the
same time." PZO Weber then added that when an applicant completes the Short EAF, it then asks if
there needs to be approval from any other governmental agency; identification of such makes them an
involved agency and they have to be considered. SEQRA does not permit segmentation. This would lead
us down a path to an Article 78. Applicants need to know ahead of time what approvals they need, he
stated.

After another extensive discussion, Mr. Marshall was asked if he would like to withdraw the application
until the Planning Board determines the correct process. Mr. Marshall agreed to withdraw the
applications until such time as counsel can determine what may be the legal course for the Town to
take.
No Action Required.
Economy Paving/Compagni - NYS Route 13 - TM #77.00-01-33.200 - Revocation of Conditional
Permit
Town Attorney Folmer reminded the Board that they had previously issued a Conditional Permit to
Economy Paving for property north of the parcel owned by John Barden. "In conjunction with that
Conditional Permit, there was a Stormwater Plan submitted and approved by this Board as a condition
of the Conditional Permit. It has come to the attention of County Soil & Water and to Mr. Barden that
that Stormwater Management Plan has been altered without any approval or suggestion whatsoever,
and it is causing water to run down the road, onto the Barden parcel, onto the highway. Mr. Reidy and
Ms. Barber of County Soil & Water have indicated they have been trying for two years to talk with Mr.
Compagni about the fact that he has, without permission, altered the Stormwater Management Plan.
He is therefore in violation of the Conditional Permit that this Board issued to him, and what we are
suggesting that you do is that you institute proceedings necessary to revoke that Conditional Permit."
Attorney Folmer then outlined the proper procedure to do so.
PZO Weber reported that Amanda Barber of County Soil & Water has attempted to work with Mr.
Compagni to achieve compliance, but has been unsuccessful to date. Member Renzi commented that
Mr. Barden should not be suffering because of this, saying, "Let's do whatever we have to do to put him
on notice and not wait for another meeting, 30 days from now, but immediately get this thing
straightened out now and say your Conditional Permit is herby revoked, but do whatever is legally
i right." Attorney Folmer advised that a public hearing needed to be held.
Chair Wickwire recognized John Barden, the adjacent property owner, who stated this all started about
five years ago. He then proceeded to submit many, many photographs showing the continuing problems
caused by his neighbor.
At the close of the discussion, a motion was made by Member Newell that the Town of Cortlandville
Planning Board institutes the proceedings to revoke the Conditional Permit issued to Economy
Paving in relation to the aforestated premises located to the north of property of John Barden.
The motion was seconded by Member Renzi, with the vote recorded as follows:
Ayes: Chair Wickwire Nays: None
Member Newell
Member Renzi
Member DelVecchio
Member Parvizi
Motion carried.
This becomes Action #66 of 2017.
Chair Wickwire stated that a letter will be sent to Economy and PZO Weber will get information from
County Soil & Water for the Board's next meeting.

PZO Weber advised that a three-story building is proposed to be constructed at the location shown on a

Agency, or do you not want to declare a Lead Agency?
The Board discussed this, and at the conclusion of the discussion, a motion was made by Member

The Public Hearing was opened at 7:30 p.m. by Chairman Katherine Wickwire, with the Board Secretary

PURSUANT TO CHAPTER 178, ARTICLE XIII, SECTION 69G OF THE CODE OF THE TOWN OF

KATHERINE S. WICKWIRE, CHAIRPERSON
Cortlandville Planning Board
3577 Terrace Road
Cortland, NY 13045
Chair Wickwire recognized John Barden, an adjacent property/ business owner whose property is being
affected by runoff from the subject property. which was in 1999. In May of 1999, there was a
Stormwater Plan submitted and approved by this Board as a condition of a Conditional Permit. It has
come to the attention of County Soil & Water and to Mr. Barden that that Stormwater Management Plan
has been altered without any approval, and it is causing water to run down the road, onto the Barden
parcel, and onto the highway. Patrick Reidy and Amanda Barber of County Soil & Water have been
trying for two years to talk with Mr. Compagni about the fact that he has, without permission, altered
the Stormwater Management Plan and is, therefore, in violation of the Conditional Permit that this
Board issued to him. The Board, at their 29 August 2017 meeting, listened to Mr. Barden describe the
destruction of his property, and discussed the problem. At that meeting, the Board decided to institute
proceedings necessary to revoke that Conditional Permit, starting with this Public Hearing.
Chair Wickwire recognized Mr. Barden who, once again, described the situation, distributed photographs
of the subject property and described the topography; both before and after photos were submitted and
are a part of the record. The problem, he stated, began in 2013. Mr. Barden advised
Page 1 of 5
(T) Cortlandville Planning Board Public Hearing & Regular Meeting Minutes 26 September 2017
that he has called Mr. Compagni, sent him videos, and written to him regarding the runoff; Mr.
Compagni's reply, according to Mr. Barden, is "when do you want to sell your property?" The neighbors
are also affected by the actions of Mr. Compagni.
Member Nasrin Parvizi commented that this Board had viewed the videos provided by Mr. Barden. PZO
Weber then read aloud his 12 September 2017 letter to Hillside LLC/Mr. Compagni, advising him of the
public hearing to review compliance with the Site Plan Approval granted in May of 1999. Also submitted
was a copy of Cortland County Soil & Water's letter dated 12 September 2017 to PZO Weber from
Amanda Barber, stating that the subject's stormwater management system does not appear to be
functioning as designed; this, too, was read aloud by PZO Weber. Copies of these communications have
been placed on file for the record.
PZO Weber reported that he had spoken with Steve Compagni about a week ago, and he indicated he
would be unable to attend this meeting. PZO Weber also asked Mr. Compagni if he would send a
representative, or could he submit, in writing, what his plan was (if he had one) regarding to bringing
the property into compliance. PZO Weber stated he had not heard from Mr. Compagni, nor did Mr.
Compagni ever have approval to alter is approved Site Plan. Amanda Barber advised PZO Weber that
she has had conversations with Mr. Compagni trying to bring the property into compliance, but has not
been successful in doing so.
Chair Wickwire asked if there was anyone present to represent Economy Paving; there was not.
With everyone being heard who wished to be heard, a motion was made by Member Newell at 7:55
p.m. to close the Public Hearing. The motion was seconded by Member Parvizi, with all Board
members voting in favor.

(Reference is made to this Board's Minutes of 27 June and 25 July 2017 regarding this project.)
Chair Wickwire recognized Laura C. Cassalia, PE, of Clough Harbour Associates, the Town's engineering
firm, who reviewed CHA's 20 September 2017 responses to the SEQR Review, LEAF Part 2, for the
subject project. A copy of this letter has been placed on file for the record. The Board acknowledged
that they had all read Ms. Cassalia's letter.
The Planning Board, assisted by Engineer Cassalia, completed the SEQR Long Environmental
Assessment Form, Part 2, item -by -item as contained in the aforementioned letter. Throughout the
review process, Town Attorney Folmer referred the Board to the pertinent comments contained in the
9/20/17 letter from Ms. Cassalia. He also reminded the Board that this review was being completed in
advance of the determination by the Zoning Board of Appeals for a requested use variance.
Engineer Cassalia, throughout the review process, reminded the Planning Board that many of the
concerns contained in the review would be addressed by this Board if the ZBA should grant the
requested variance. She did not feel that Part 3 needed to be completed.
Chair Wickwire commented that the City of Cortland had requested this Board to be Lead Agency, so
PZO Weber said he will forward the information to them to advise them of the Town's decision.
At the conclusion of the review and discussion, a motion was made by Member DelVecchio that,
based on the information and analysis of the SEQR available at this time concerning the
applications for a self -storage facility, the Town of Cortlandville Planning Board has determined
that the proposed action will not produce any significant adverse environmental impact, resulting
in a Negative Declaration. The motion was seconded by Member Parvizi, with the vote recorded as
follows:

PZO Weber advised the Board that the Town's Zoning Board of Appeals had granted some variances for
signage at its previous meeting, and explained what was granted.
Chair Wickwire recognized Vincent Salvagni who explained that the applicant was seeking a Conditional
Permit to make the requested exterior modifications to this existing building (Sun Auto). PZO Weber
stated that parking has been "doubled up" along Luker Road and appears to show it encroaching into
the right-of-way; this needs to be remedied and was understood by Mr. Salvagni.
% Mr. Salvagni stated that they were "re -branding" their facilities and the company wanted exterior
modifications on all of their facilities to be consistent. There would be no structural changes to the
existing building.

Chair Wickwire recognized Christian Brunelle, Sr. Executive Vice President of SonByrne Sales, Inc., dba
Byrne Dairy Stores, who explained that they would like to construct and operate a new Byrne Dairy
Retail Store and Fueling Facility at the former Willcox Tire location. A "Cortland Project Narrative,"
undated, was submitted to the Board and explained all the details, along with photos of proposed
signage, parking, store interior/ exterior, dumpster enclosure, and a Preliminary Site Plan. He also
commented that the store would contain approximately 4232 SF, there would be 32 parking spaces,
61% green space, 40 ft. by 132 ft. fuel canopy, triple -walled fiberglass fuel tanks (two 20,000 -gal. are
proposed), ten pumps, a backup generator, and operating hours 24/7. All lighting would be
directional/ downward on the site.
Mr. Brunelle explained that if the project progresses, he will be in contact with the NYSDOT regarding
two proposed entrances into this site. He also described the training that was completed by all
employees regarding the operation of their facilities which they have in DeWitt, LaFayette, and Cicero.
In response to Member Renzi's questions, Mr. Brunelle explained, in detail, the complete operation of the
fueling facility: training, equipment, piping, records kept, reporting, monitoring of tanks, safety
procedures, etc. Also in response to a question, Mr. Brunelle stated they no longer construct any retail
store without a fueling station.
Chair Wickwire thanked Mr. Brunelle for his presentation/ information regarding this proposed facility.
No Action Taken.
As Mr. Brunelle was gathering his materials at the end of his presentation, Pam Jenkins, a member of
the audience, came up to Chairman Wickwire and placed in front of her what she said was a petition.

Chair Wickwire recognized Mr. Taw, an architect with Holmes, King & Kallquist of Syracuse, NY, and
Jeremy Davidheifer (did not sign attendance sheet) who were seeking a Conditional Permit for a
proposed parking area at this location, as shown on the documents accompanying the application. The
parking lot is part of a housing/office project and is complicated by the fact that the building portion is
located within the City of Cortland, and the parking lot with stormwater collection is located within the
Town of Cortlandville. PZO Weber advised those present that the application has been forwarded to
County Planning by the City.
Lead Agency under SEQR was discussed. PZO Weber explained "involved agencies." James Trasher, the
Town's engineer from Clough Harbour Associates reported that the City preferred the Town be Lead
Agency.

(T) Cortlandville Planning Board Public Hearing & Regular Meeting Minutes 26 September 2017
Mr. Davidheifer described the proposed facility. PZO Weber added that emergency access is required for
this project.
At the conclusion of a brief discussion, a motion was made by Member Newell to forward the
application for a Conditional Permit for a proposed parking area to the Cortland County Planning
Department for their review; the Town of Cortlandville Planning Board agrees to act as Lead
Agency under Coordinated Review. The motion was seconded by Member Parvizi, with the vote

seeking a Conditional Permit to utilize an existing ranch home (former Mauler residence) as a group
home for the elderly, called Cortland Elderlodge. Ms. Shenk advised there would be no more than 26

the. day, eight on the evening shift, and five overnight.
Ms. Shenk reported that there was a man from New Jersey who will support this facility. She attached a
narrative to her application which explained what she would like to do; .there's presently a small facility
- in Moravia, NY.
PZO Weber advised that a Stormwater Plan will be required, and he also read the defmition of group
home based on the information that he has received so far. He stated that the Board needed to review
the. Site Plan that had been submitted and whether or not they considered it to be complete before
sending on to County Planning for their review. Parking was discussed, and the engineer explained the
addition, and displayed an aerial photo of the subject property.
Chair Wickwire advised that the ' Board needed more detailed plans, and PZO Weber added that all
documents need to be submitted. Engineer Bush responded that he knew what was required and would
prepare a full Site Plan w/parking, building plans, etc.; they were before the Board to provide
preliminary information and receive the Board's input.
Chair Wickwire commented that, at this point, the Board did not have enough information to forward
the application to the County for their review. She would, however, like someone to contact whoever
lives in the house(s) along Route 281 at the front of this property.

Brian Buttner of ADR Associates. Applicant/Art Bell, Jr., Reputed Owner - Blue Creek Road - TM
#s 76.00-07-03.000 & 04.000 - Subdivision of Land
Chair Wickwire noted that the two applications for Art Bell's proposed subdivisions were postponed at
the previous Zoning Board of Appeals meeting, so have been removed from this Agenda.
Discussion re John Barden & Hillside, LLC - 1819 NYS Route 13 - TM #77.00-12-07.000
Chair Wickwire asked to speak regarding John Barden's complaint about the Hillside property. She
informed everyone that she had talked with Town CEO Desiree Campbell who reported there was a
trailer located on the Hillside property for which there was no permit. Chair Wickwire then asked
"where do we stand on this?" Town Attorney John Folmer advised that .the Conditional Permit for
Economy at this site had been revoked and, in the meantime, construction work has been done to,
presumably, repair the drainage system to its approved status., The Town has asked Amanda Barber of
County Soil & Water to confirm this with an inspection and report back to the Town. PZO Weber
suggested to Attorney Folmer that he check with Ms. Barber. Attorney Folmer will do so, and also will
talk with CEO Campbell. He also added that he will correspond with Economy and advise them they
apparently have a trailer onsite for which they have 110 permit.

(T) Cortlandville Planning Board Regular Meeting Minutes 26 December 2017
Member Newell asked Attorney Folmer if he had any communication with Steve Compagni, and he
responded that he had but Mr. Compagni appeared to be not receptive to being cooperative. However,
Attorney Folmer reported that he had been visited by Mr. Compagni's attorney who stated that his client
would be taking the steps necessary to revise and redo the system
Gregory Leach. Avulicant/Leach Properties. LLC. Revuted Owner - 1834 NYS Route 13 - TM
#77.00-13-11.000 - Review Conditional Permit Avuroval
Town Attorney Folmer gave the reasoning as to why this item appears on this Agenda. He then stated,
"In Judge Cerio's decision he enjoined Mr. Leach from using or occupying the drive-thru addition, which
is the subject of this instant proceeding until further order of the Court." That means that additional
information be submitted so he can reconsider the way he made his determination. Our Minutes, he
stated, do not contain verbatim discussion because we have never asked that that be done.
Consequently, you have been asked to go back and review/ supplement what was done in the past by re-
doing some things. "I've indicated to you that I would hope that you would deal with the business of the
conditions from the County Planning Board, 2, 3 and 4, and that you would deal with the conditions
that are set forth in Article 178-75 A and B which require you to make findings with reference to a
Conditional Permit, and that you defer reviewing your SEQRA process until your next meeting so that,
among others, I can review in detail the tape of the meeting that we did the SEQRA to begin with. That
is a request that Mr. Leach makes to you. You are entitled to decide, look we're not going to go back to
this, or you can decide that we are, in fact, willing to go back and review these items. That's the
decision that you have to make."
Member John DelVecchio asked for some clarification on the Court's decision, and Attorney Folmer
responded and read aloud from the actual Decision of the Judge. There followed a brief discussion on a
use variance between Attorney Folmer and Member DelVecchio; the ZBA was not named as a
Respondent. PZO Weber affirmed that a use variance granted years ago "covered us, but if you look at
the B-2 District it allows for garages. So, basically, he has a garage which is subject to a Conditional
Permit." He then continued, "Not only does that use variance cover this, but the ordinance itself in a B-
2 District, when it looks at what uses are allowed, this use that he proposed in this application is an
allowed use."
In continuing this review, Attorney Folmer called the Board's attention to the Town's Zoning Code,
Article XIV. Conditional Permit, 178-75. Structure/use requirements for permit approval, a copy of
which was provided to each Board member. He stated that the record did not indicate the findings,
category by category.
Member Renzi then asked questions pertaining to the County Planning Board's report concerning this
matter. PZO Weber added, "Once that use variance is granted, that's a conforming use." Town Attorney
Folmer suggested reviewing the recommendations contained in the County's Resolution No. 17-03,
2/15/17. Items 2 and 3 are matters that will be handled with NYSDEC and NYSDOT, and any
Conditional Permit the Board grants should contain these as conditions. PZO Weber added that, "with
respect to #2, this is a single proposal not in conjunction with the other acreage because he's not using
the driveway that's on the other property for this, which is stipulation #1." Only the three -acre parcel is
involved, not the total acreage. This application for a Conditional Permit is not a single proposal with
the adjoining properties. Regarding Item 3, it is not considered a single project—it is separate and does
not require a Stormwater Management Plan. Item 4 is an issue that would be raised by the Zoning
Board of Appeals; however it was not considered by the Court.
Town Attorney Folmer suggested that when this review is complete, that he and PZO Weber will put
together a proposed set of findings and send them to each member so that they can be reviewed and
adopted at the January meeting.
The Board then went through the items contained in Article XIV, 178-75, A and B, line by line, as
follows:
