18.-1-35.1, 33.1, and 34.0 - Boundary Line Change
Chairperson Barbara Clark recognized the applicants who explained that they own these three tax
map parcels and would like to combine them to make one complete parcel containing .75± acre of
land. CEO Coats explained that a Building Permit for an accessory building had been requested for
one of the parcels. The permit was denied because (1) there was no primary structure on the parcel,
(2) the proposed building (on 35.1) would not have met the Town's setback requirements and (3) the
minimum lot size was too small. The easiest way to resolve the problem was to combine the three
small parcels to make approximately .75 of an acre.
Chair Clark acknowledged that "under 6 NYCRR Part 617.5(c)(10), (12) or (13) of the State
Environmental Quality Review Law, the proposed action is a Type II action and is determined not to
have a significant impact on the environment, or is otherwise precluded from environmental review
under the Environmental Conservation Law, Article 8."
With no further discussion, a motion was made by Member Ed Neuhauser to accept the
application and approve the Boundary Line Change as requested, with the three parcels to be
combined into one by deed description. The motion was seconded by Member Monica Carey,
with the vote recorded as follows:
Ayes: Chair Clark Nays: None
Member Carey
Member Albro
Member Baxendell
Member Gloster
Member Haines
Member Neuhauser
Motion carried.
This becomes Action #13 of 2007.
