Public Hearing for a Minor Subdivision: Jamie Kehoe proposes to subdivide a single lot at the property
located at 1500 Taughannock Blvd. (Tax Map # 18.-4-20). The property is approximately 36.34 acres in
size and is located in the B1 – Business and CZ – Conservation Zones. The proposed Lots A and B are
~18.01 and ~18.33 acres in size, respectively.
Board members continued with the public hearing that was tabled from the December 1st meeting. The
239 Review was completed and approved.
Mr. Wertis asked about a map showing areas of the parcels that were Unique Natural Areas (UNAs). Mr.
Zepko reminded everyone that UNAs do not affect zoning and are usually used during the site review
process. He added that an UNA can include many, many natural features from lichen to gorges.
There were no more questions so Board members ended the Public Hearing. Ms. Liddle read the
following motion into the minutes.
