ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY REVIEW (SEQR) NEGATIVE DECLARATION
FOR THE PROPOSED ZARATE 2-LOT MINOR SUBDIVISION
WHEREAS, an application was made by German Zarate for a two-lot subdivision approval, thus
creating two new undeveloped residential building lots, at Davis Road, Lansing, New York, and
otherwise known as Tax Parcel #16.-1-8.31, consisting of a total of 3.24± acres, in the RA (Rural

WHEREAS, the proposed subdivision, as shown on a “Proposed Subdivision – Lands of German
A. Zarate, Part of Military Lot 61 – Town of Lansing – County of Tompkins, State of New York
Tax Map No. 16.-1-8.31” by Owasco Land Survey dated December 21, 2018 consists of proposed
Lot 1 and Lot 2, each being 1.73 acres; and
WHEREAS, this proposed action is an Unlisted Action for which the Town of Lansing Planning
Board is an involved agency for the purposes of environmental review, and a public hearing was
duly noticed and held upon February 25, 2019 to consider such minor subdivision and the
potential environmental impacts thereof, and the public was free to provide opinions and
evidence in respect of such matters and such matters were duly considered; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Lansing Planning Board, in performing its independent and
uncoordinated environmental review in accordance with Article 8 of the New York State
Environmental Conservation Law - the State Environmental Quality Review Act (“SEQRA”), (i)
pursued its thorough review of the applicant’s completed Environmental Assessment Form Part
1, and any and all other documents prepared and submitted with respect to this proposed action
and its environmental review, and (ii) thoroughly analyzed the potent ial relevant areas of
environmental concern of the project to determine if the proposed action may have a significant
adverse impact on the environment, including the criteria identified in 6 NYCRR Section 617.7(c),
and (iii) reviewed and completed the EAF, Part II on the record; and
WHEREAS, each of the identified impacts were analyzed and duly considered by the Planning
Board, as Lead Agency, in relation to the question of whether such impacts were so probable of
occurring or so significant as to require a positive declaration of environmental impacts, and after
weighing the potential impacts arising from or in connection with this site plan approval, and
after also considering: (i) the probability of each potential impact occurring, including weighing
the highly speculative nature of some potential future contingencies and the potential non-highly
speculative nature of others; (ii) the duration of each potential impact; (iii) the irreversibility of
each potential impact, including a consideration of permanently lost resources of value; (iv)
whether each potential impact can or will be controlled or mitigated by permitting, reviews, or
other regulatory processes; (v) the regional consequence of the potential impacts; (vi) the potential
for each impact to be or become inconsistent with the Town’s Master Plan or Comprehensive Plan
and local needs and goals; and (vii) whether any known objections to the Project relate to any of
the identified potential impacts; the Planning Board found that these factors did n ot cause any
potential negative environmental or related social or resource impact to be or be likely to become
a moderate or significant negative impact; and
