It is zoned I-2 (General Industrial), is within the Aquifer Protection District (Area I: Primary Aquifer Area), is within the Wellhead Protection Zone (Zones la & lb) and is within an Area of Special Flood Hazard in accordance with the Code ofthe Town ofCortlandville, hereafter the Code. The conditional permit, aquifer protection special permit, and floodplain development permit review is being referred to the Cortland County Planning Board because the property is located within 500 ft. of NYS Route 281, NYS Route 13, County Route 120 (McLean Road). ANALYSIS - The applicant is requesting a site plan review, conditional permit, aquifer protection special permit, & Floodplain Development Permit so they may add a 2,500+/- square foot pre-engineered metal building to the northwest side of an existing sorter building. Manufacturing, assembly, and processing facilities are permitted in I-2 (General Industrial) districts subject to site plan review and conditional permit. Therefore, the applicant has applied for a site plan review and conditional permit. As this development exceeds $150,000 in development cost, the applicant has also applied for an Aquifer Protection Special Permit. As the applicant is developing in an area of special flood hazard, the applicant has also applied for a floodplain development permit. Sections 178-72, -75, -76, & -77 of the Code outlines the requirements that must be met in order to approve this conditional permit and site plan review. This development meets these requirements as it does not alter the site conditions, is compatible with the surrounding community's character, and does not involve any prohibited activities in industrial facilities. § 178-45 of the Code lists the restrictions and requirements for uses and activities in the aquifer protection district. As this development does not involve any of the prohibited / regulated uses and activities listed, it meets these requirements. This development meets all the requirements of Article IA "Wellhead Protection Area District" as it does not involve any of the prohibited uses and activities outlined in §178-2.3 D and does not increase the parcel's impervious surface. This development does not increase this parcel's impervious surface due to the proposed building being built on land that is currently paved. §178-81 C of the Code outlines the information required for approval of a floodplain development permit. As these documents have not been provided to the planning staff, it is recommended that the applicant provide this documentation to the Town if they have not already done SO. Finally, the proposed use is considered an Unlisted Action under SEQR. The applicant will need to complete Part I of the Short Environmental Assessment Form. Parts II & III should then be completed by the Town to determine if there may be any significant adverse environmental impacts as a result of the proposed use.
