John Coulter, Shelia Morse, Craig Umbehauer, Niels and Mary Schulz, Sandy Price County Legislator excused 6:15 PM- PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING LOCAL LAW #4 OF 2018 AMENDING THE TOWN’S ZONING LAW Supervisor Kaminski called the public hearing to order. Town Clerk Alane Van Donsel read the public notice that was posted in the Cortland Standard on July 25th 2018. Craig Umbehauer, 2794 Lash Road spoke first. Umbehauer said the board has on the agenda that the Local Law is going to be approved. He wasn’t sur e how that could be, as it hasn’t gone before the County Planning Board yet. Umbehauer said that he worked very hard on the zoning law and in there was a Federal law regarding a transportation law that states the distance driveways should be separated to reduce the occurrence of accidents. He also said that he thinks the Board is crazy to open up the town to commercial use. He used Dan Haynes business as an example. He said that the town has the potential to have that type of business next to every house in town. Umbehauer then wished the board good luck. Next to speak was John Coulter, 430 Nye Road. Coulter said that he drafted a letter to the board on August 25th, 2015 regarding the issue of road frontage. Coulter said that he sat on the Zoning Board of Appeals for ten years. He said that a majority of the variance requests are due to the fact that landowners didn’t have football sized front yards. Coulter said that he lives on Nye rd. and the driveway spacing is way less than the current required spacing of 350’ and they never had any accidents. He said that there is a six acre lot across the street from him that doesn’t have the required 350’ of road frontage. They would have to get a variance to build there. He said that they require a 2.6 access requirement. Sheila Morse spoke next, 2940 Clute Road. Morse said that she has sat on Zoning Board of Appeals since 2012. She said that she looked up the cases that they have reviewed and out of 103 cases 33 of them were asking for a road frontage variance. Morse said that one of the cases was Umbehauer. He asked for a road frontage variance. Deputy Supervisor Stiles asked Morse how many of the variances were granted. Morse said that all of the variances were granted except two. Coulter said that Umbehauer’s variance was granted on Monday, the 25th of March 2013. He was granted two lots with 280’ of road frontage. Coulter couldn’t understand why he is still advocating for the 350’ requirement. Umbehauer said that he went for a variance and he was granted the variance. Coulter said that in his opinion, the law should make it that he wouldn’t have had to. Supervisor Kaminski asked three times if there were any further comments. There were none. Member Stiles motioned to close the Public Hearing. Member Snow seconded the motion. Vote: Ayes-Members Pelton, Snow, Denniston, Stiles and Kaminski. Nays -None Attorney Patrick Snyder said that Umbehauer was correct that the County planning Board will be reviewing the local law on Aug. 15th, and it can’t be approved until after the County Planning Board reviews it.

He said that it could be used for office space. He said that there is a commercial kitchen and high- speed internet in the building.

He said that the school will be open for a year another year and then it will remain empty for a year. He said that the district has to have a bond. He said that the school’s best option is to sell the building to the town for a dollar. Kaminski said that after the towns budget workshops, they will be in a better position to see if the town can afford to take it over.

He is wondering if there is someone interested in leasing it. He said that the rumor mill has shut down and people have calmed down and become more level headed. He said that the Town did a foil request and the document they were looking for doesn’t exist according to the school district. He said that there is one person that says it’s there, however he’s sure if they come forward the district will have someone to discredit the claim. He said that they need to be realistic. He said that maybe there is some business in Cortland that isn’t happy with their landlords and they want to move to Virgil. He said that all the dollar and sense need to be shared with the community. With no further business to discuss, Member Stiles moved to adjourn the meeting at 7:05 PM.

Then there will be a presentation on the solar law and youth grants which are both available for your consideration. Please plan on attending. The Cortland County Household Waste Recycling Day will be September 22 at the Cortland Recycling Center. Call 756- 8077 for an appointment. The position of a county auditor was reestablished. This is the continuation of getting the county's financial house in order. Hopefully many applicants will come forward so it can be filled quickly. Other positions being interviewed for are Veterans Service Officer, County Administrator and County Highway Superintendent. I am on the interview committee for the county administrator. More on all of these next month. A hearing was held on a Broadband Capital Project that could benefit Virgil and Harford. I wasn't able to attend but did send a letter of support. Far too often I hear neighbors speak of the desire to have broadband services available at a reasonable cost and, in fact, have had some that have moved out of state express a desire to return if they had broadband available. I continue to attend the Central New York Regional Planning Board meetings in Syracuse. It's very interesting and I am learning a lot - a benefit of being a legislator. We are honored to have our own Jim Murphy as the chair and longtime member of that board. Thank you, Jim, for continuing to give of your time and talents. On the home front I had a tremendous response (21 in all) in my search for nominations for the Good Neighbor Award. I had great fun delivering the certificates and seeing their response in recognition of the good work that is not only important but appreciated. During this time of negativity, it is important for us to focus on the good things going on around us. So never underestimate the importance of your kindnesses both small and large. I have received requests to do again. So put on your thinking caps for next July. On Wednesday, September 19th at 5:00 pm my guests at the Creamery Hills Senior Center will be fellow legislator Ron Van Dee and his granddaughter. They will bring a few of their vast collection of milk bottles and talk about their passion. So, bring and share any bottles you might have, call Joyce Van Deweert for reservations at 844-3808 and come for some good food and entertainment. See you there! As school starts I wish the students, teachers and staff the best for a fun learning experience. It's with sadness to think that this is the last year Virgil School will be open. Any ideas? Is there anything I should be aware of or doing? Sandy Price 1189 Church Street Cortland, NY 13045 Thought for the month: if we all do one act of kindness daily, we just might set the world in the right direction.

We started the month fixing the wall at the transfer station. For those who were not around to see the wall go back up there are 8 dead men, over 425 ton of stone rolled every 18 inches, and geogrid every 2 foot extending out 10 foot so hopefully we have no problems. We have been ditching at hope lake around the walking trail, dug out and regraded the bottom of Reagan rd, and started grading and cutting ditches on the seasonal roads. Oil and stone at the cemetary, town hall, hope lake, and fire station are scheduled I do not have an exact date yet but they will be done this month. (Updated costs Below).

Applicant/Sponsor Name ___________________________________ Date_______________________________________ Signature________________________________________________ Title_______________________________________ Town of Virgil PRINT FORM Town Supervisor Page 1 of 10 Full Environmental Assessment Form Part 2 - Identification of Potential Project Impacts Part 2 is to be completed by the lead agency. Part 2 is designed to help the lead agency inventory all potential resources that could be affected by a proposed project or action. We recognize that the lead agency s reviewer(s) will not necessarily be environmental professionals. So, the questions are designed to walk a reviewer through the assessment process by providing a series of questions that can be answered using the information found in Part 1. To further assist the lead agency in completing Part 2, the form identifies the most relevant questions in Part 1 that will provide the information needed to answer the Part 2 question. When Part 2 is completed, the lead agency will have identified the relevant environmental areas that may be impacted by the proposed activity. If the lead agency is a state agency and the action is in any Coastal Area, complete the Coastal Assessment Form before proceeding with this assessment. Tips for completing Part 2: Review all of the information provided in Part 1. Review any application, maps, supporting materials and the Full EAF Workbook. Answer each of the 18 questions in Part 2. If you answer “Yes” to a numbered question, please complete all the questions that follow in that section. If you answer “No” to a numbered question, move on to the next numbered question. Check appropriate column to indicate the anticipated size of the impact. Proposed projects that would exceed a numeric threshold contained in a question should result in the reviewing agency checking the box “Moderate to large impact may occur.” The reviewer is not expected to be an expert in environmental analysis. If you are not sure or undecided about the size of an impact, it may help to review the sub-questions for the general question and consult the workbook. When answering a question consider all components of the proposed activity, that is, the whole action . Consider the possibility for long-term and cumulative impacts as well as direct impacts.

The lead agency must complete Part 3 for every question in Part 2 where the impact has been identified as potentially moderate to large or where there is a need to explain why a particular element of the proposed action will not, or may, result in a significant adverse environmental impact. Based on the analysis in Part 3, the lead agency must decide whether to require an environmental impact statement to further assess the proposed action or whether available information is sufficient for the lead agency to conclude that the proposed action will not have a significant adverse environmental impact. By completing the certification on the next page, the lead agency can complete its determination of significance. Reasons Supporting This Determination: To complete this section: Identify the impact based on the Part 2 responses and describe its magnitude. Magnitude considers factors such as severity, size or extent of an impact. Assess the importance of the impact. Importance relates to the geographic scope, duration, probability of the impact occurring, number of people affected by the impact and any additional environmental consequences if the impact were to occur. The assessment should take into consideration any design element or project changes. Repeat this process for each Part 2 question where the impact has been identified as potentially moderate to large or where there is a need to explain why a particular element of the proposed action will not, or may, result in a significant adverse environmental impact. Provide the reason(s) why the impact may, or will not, result in a significant adverse environmental impact For Conditional Negative Declarations identify the specific condition(s) imposed that will modify the proposed action so that no significant adverse environmental impacts will result. Attach additional sheets, as needed. Determination of Significance - Type 1 and Unlisted Actions SEQR Status: Type 1 Unlisted Identify portions of EAF completed for this Project: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Upon review of the information recorded on this EAF, as noted, plus this additional support information and considering both the magnitude and importance of each identified potential impact, it is the conclusion of the as lead agency that: A. This project will result in no significant adverse impacts on the environment, and, therefore, an environmental impact statement need not be prepared. Accordingly, this negative declaration is issued. B. Although this project could have a significant adverse impact on the environment, that impact will be avoided or substantially mitigated because of the following conditions which will be required by the lead agency: There will, therefore, be no significant adverse impacts from the project as conditioned, and, therefore, this conditioned negative declaration is issued. A conditioned negative declaration may be used only for UNLISTED actions (see 6 NYCRR 617.d). C. This Project may result in one or more significant adverse impacts on the environment, and an environmental impact statement must be prepared to further assess the impact(s) and possible mitigation and to explore alternatives to avoid or reduce those impacts. Accordingly, this positive declaration is issued.
