OTHER ATTENDEES:
Town Planner C.J. Randall
Recording Secretary Kelly Cecala
Public Ted Crane and Katharine Hunter
The meeting was opened at 7:03 pm.
(1) CALL TO ORDER/AGENDA REVIEW:
Gagnon requested to add a discussion about waste water management. Randall stated that she would be discussing
this item in more detail during the code report. Rundle and Davis requested to add a discussion point about the Land
Use Training they attended that week. Davis also wanted to discuss the maps that are received in advance if of the
meeting - their accuracy and usefulness. There were no other changes and/or deletions.
(2) PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR:
During privilege of the floor, chairman Kruppa reminded the public to keep their comments civil and respe ctful and
under three minutes. Crane wanted to remark about the four (4) action items on the agenda and said that all of which
are more or less taking a corner out of a bigger property to build a house, which leaves less road frontage and huge
back lot. Crane questioned if any of this was a great idea.
Gagnon said that current zoning is enabling these things to happen. Strichartz said that some people cannot afford the
taxes on these huge properties and need to subdivide. There was a brief discussion amongst the Board members as
far as why people are doing subdivisions. Davis commented that the creation of flag lots is actually encouraged by our
current zoning. Scriber added that the “message” received this week is to fall back to the Comprehensive Plan. Crane
made the suggestion to encourage people to make boundary adjustments inste ad of subdividing. Katharine Hunter
said that she hopes Danby can get some good zoning going and she is there to support the Planning Board.
(3) APPROVAL OF MINUTES:

(5) ACTION ITEMS:
Project: Minor Subdivision
Location: 37 Howland Road, Tax Parcel # 28.-1-16.5
Applicant: Jed Gobrecht
Anticipated Board action(s) this month: Public Hearing; Determination of
Environmental Significance; Preliminary and Final Approval
Project Description: The Applicant proposes to subdivide the existing 10.725-acre property into two
parcels: Parcel A, measuring 2.050 acres, with 258 feet of frontage on Howland Road, 371 feet of depth,
with existing house; and Parcel B, measuring 8.675 acres with 201 feet of frontage on Howland Road,
1046.85 feet of depth. The property is in the Low Density Residential Zoning District, requiring a lot area
minimum of 2 acres, frontage of 200 feet, and lot depth of 300 feet. This is an Unlisted action under the
Town of Danby Environmental Review of Actions and an Unlisted action under the State Environmental
Quality Review Act and is subject to environmental review.
The Public Hearing Opened at 7:19 pm.
The Board reviewed the Short EAF. Gagnon noted that question 15 was marked yes and asked Randall what was the
threatened species. Randall explained that the data used to get the report has a one mile radius from the location and
that the actual species is not always identified. Gagnon said that the species in question may not even be on the
property, so how is the question and answer (or a lack there of) useful? Gagnon said that the map provided was not
sufficient and requested an area map; Randall said that she would request this in the future.

MOTION – Declaration of Lead Agency
Moved by Gagnon, Second by Rundle The motion passed
In Favor: Davis, Gagnon, Rundle, Scriber, Strichartz, Kruppa
Project: Minor Subdivision
Location: 1040 Comfort Road, Tax Parcel # 15.-1-11.3
Applicant: Cynthia Black and Andrea Butje
Anticipated Board action(s) this month: Declaration of Lead Agency
Project Description: The Applicant proposes to subdivide the existing 17.806-acre property into two
parcels: Parcel A, measuring 3.336 acres, with 234.61 feet of
frontage on Comfort Road, 650 feet of depth, and undeveloped; and Parcel B, measuring 14.446 acres
with 234.61 feet of frontage on Comfort Road, 1678.91 feet of depth, and undeveloped. The property is in
the Low Density Residential Zoning District, requiring a lot area minimum of 2 acres, frontage of 200 feet,
and lot depth of 300 feet. This is an Unlisted action under the Town of Danby Environmental Review of
Actions and an Unlisted action under the State Environmental Quality Review Act and is subject to
environmental review.
The Board reviewed the Short EAF and had no recommended changes to make. Randall referred to the property
previewer and confirmed that the last split was back in 2002. The Board had several issues with the accuracy of the
maps provided and their readability. Gagnon said that the maps were confusing and it is only his familiarity with the
location that is helping. Gagnon said there is no neighborhood context on the existing map and that it is not clear
where the parent parcel is.
Crane suggested using a tax map. Randall commented that a tax map would take time to create. Kruppa commented
that they would have liked a reference point that gave directions to the actual lot and that a neighborhood map would
have been helpful in finding the location versus being used for any decision making.

MOTION – Declaration of Lead Agency
Moved by Gagnon, Second by Scriber The motion passed
In Favor: Davis, Gagnon, Rundle, Scriber, Strichartz, Kruppa
Project: Subdivision
Location: Curtis Road, Tax Parcel # 23.-1-10.2
Applicant: Michael Amodie
Owner: Deborah A. Friends
Anticipated Board action(s) this month: Sketch Plan
Project Description: The Applicant proposes to subdivide the existing 109.77-acre property into two
parcels: Parcel A, measuring 4 acres and undeveloped; and Parcel B, measuring 105.77 acres and
undeveloped. The property is in the Low Density Residential Zoning District, requiring a lot area minimum
of 2 acres, frontage of 200 feet, and lot depth of 300 feet. This is an Unlisted action under the Town of
Danby Environmental Review of Actions and an Unlisted action under the State Environmental Quality
Review Act and is subject to environmental review.
PB FINAL MINUTES PAGE 7
The Board had several questions about the Sketch Plan. Randall gave a brief history of the request stating that the
applicant had already been “camping” on the property and wanted to now purchase a 4 acre corner piece of the larger
parcel. Randall commented that the zoning ordinance requires road frontage on a public road maintained year round.
Gagnon added that the ordinance presumes that when you create a lot it is intended for a house to be built. There was
a lengthy discussion about the lot in question being on a seasonal road that is surrounded by state forest. Randall
brought up a larger map on the computer for the discussion , using the location of the “antenna” as a reference point .
Randall stated that she has also given the applicant some options and that the matter is before the Planning Board
tonight to determine whether they want to waive the frontage requirement or make a recommendation to the BZA to
consider granting a variance. Randall stated that the applicant would be appearing before the BZA on November 21 st.
Gagnon commented that the law also states that you cannot get a building permit for a house on a minimally
maintained road; he said that the language was changed from seasonal road to a minimally maintained road and to
check the language on the law that created the minimally maintained road classification.
Randall said that she does not have any local road law information. Randall asked what the difference was. She said
no matter what the road is called, it is still not a public road maintained year round. Gagnon said that the likelihood of
getting a waiver might be affected by the impact it will have on the road classification and that he didn’t see the point if
the owner could not get a building permit. Randall said this is the first she has heard of this and would begin to
research into it.
Davis said there is a house at the end of Hill Road (a large lot) which may have frontage on the other side. Gagnon
said the Hill Road is a minimally maintained road. Kruppa stated that this is really a BZA issue. Randall clarified that
the Planning Board is required to make a recommendation to the BZA before the next meeting. Kruppa remarked that
the only decision point is whether or not the Planning Board recommends a variance for the frontage requirement in
the zoning ordinance.
Randall said there are two places where road frontage is a requirement on a public road maintained year round and
that it would be a two-step process (1) the Planning Board can issue a waiver to the subdivision regulation with (2) the
recommendation that the BZA grant a variance for the number of lots allowed provision found in Section 600 - Low
Density Residential – “provided that the road frontage is on a road maintained year round.”
Kruppa clarified that the decision is whether or not the Planning Board agrees with the subdivision and if so then the
Planning Board would need to make a recommendation to the BZA that they grant the variance . Randall said that the
BZA would need to grant the variance first before coming back to the Planning Board for the subdivision to be
approved.
Gagnon remarked that the town should not be tying the subdivision of land on minimally maintained roads to houses at
all. Randall suggested to include this language in the zoning, i.e. an area allocation method. Kruppa asked if the
waiver could be granted with the stipulation that a permanent structure could not be built. Randall said that this might
be an option for the BZA and that she would research into it.
(6) DISCUSSION ITEMS
Special Permit
Davis reported on the Land Use Seminar that he attended and stated that the biggest problem Danby has with special
permits is the inherent contradiction in the allowed uses which are listed in Low Density Residential Zoning. He added
that once they are put under the rubric of “special permit” applicants can have them by-right. Davis said to consider
restricting the allowable uses so that if a person wants to do something “special” then the Planning Boar d can “tweak”
what is allowed. Davis acknowledged Rundle’s former comment on retaining special permits so that at least the
PB FINAL MINUTES PAGE 8
Planning Board can tweak the allowed uses and restrict them. Rundle commented that if you put clear conditions on
the special permits then those conditions need to be met; he added that the current conditions are too vague and
according to Guy Krogh not enforceable.
Gagnon said “to get rid of them” is to substitute with site plan review. Kruppa forewarned that if special permits were
removed then owners would still be able to come to the Planning Board with their request, which would be completely
subjected to the opinions of that particular Board. Crane asked if there is a list of uses which are legally allowed by the
state that could be made available. Randall said yes and an example of that would be a group-home.
Kruppa said his concern with putting too many conditions on special permits is that the Planning Board may not be
qualified to do so. Rundle stated that the conditions would be written to mitigate the impact on the neighborhood, not
on operating or safety conditions. Randall said that she would advocate reevaluat ing the uses that fall under site plan
review. Gagnon asked Randall if all the things that are allowed by special permit can be moved to site plan review
instead.
Kruppa raised the questioned about the zoning rules if they were to be pushed to site plan review. Randall suggested
evaluating each of the uses that are currently allowed under special permit; first identify them; decide if they are a good
idea in low density residential; verify/audit the definition; decide if they should go in site plan; identify specific conditions
for them.
Kruppa said an inventory of the special permits and zones would also help get the community involved when needed.
Davis said that he would rather review it amongst the Board first and decide if they want to get rid of special permits or
not. Rundle and Strichartz said that an inventory of them would help them decide. Scriber added that trying to push
changes without the public’s involvement could backfire.
Kruppa said that zoning updates is the #1 priority. Randall commented that Danby zoning is very binary with no
gradations or tiers. She said a zoning steering subcommittee would need to be established first and guesstimated that
the process could take a year. Gagnon said that when he thinks about what is wrong with zoning, special permits is
not what comes to mind. Randall said that an audit process should be done which will help highlight what all the “han g
ups” are and will assist in identify what is good and what is not. Special permits will be further discussed at the joint
scoping meeting in November.
Meeting Civility
Kruppa stated that this is being addressed at the beginning of the meetings prior to Privilege of the Floor and asked
that it be removed from the agenda.
Waste Water Management
Due to time constraints, this has been deferred to next month.
Land Use Training Report
Davis, Scriber, and Rundle spoke very briefly about the seminar they recently attended.
(7) PLANNNING & ZONING REPORT
Randall reported that the Town Board approved a resolution for the preparation of a feasibility study for the
establishment of a waste water disposal district for the Brown Rd. Pocket Neighborhood Project. Randall also said the
PB FINAL MINUTES PAGE 9
Town Board approved hiring an engineering firm to research the expansion of the West Danby Water District. She
added that the process could take up to a year to complete and that the developers are aware of the timeline.
Randall stated that Danby became a Clean Energy Community as of September 5, 2017 and that Danby is now eligible
for funding. Randall commented that the passing of the PDZ project resulted in the removal of 11 existing PDZ and
that only 5 now remain.
(8) ADJOURNMENT
The meeting was adjourned at 9:19 pm.
