Town Clerk Snyder had no new business to report.
Attorney Folmer reported:
Article 78 Proceeding:
Attorney Folmer apprised the Board of the Article 78 Proceeding. The appeal will be
argued by the Appellate Division on May 4, 2017 and there will be a decision in the near future.
Attorney Folmer stated that the original return date of May 12, 2017 has been postponed until
May 19, 2017 due to a scheduling conflict on behalf of the Judge, not on behalf of the parties
involved. Attorney Folmer stated at that time the change of venue will be argued but was not
certain as to whether or not the merits of that matter will be heard. A request has been made that
only after the venue motion has been decided that the other matter be heard.
Cortland Sand & Gravel:
Attorney Folmer reported that Cortland Sand & Gravel has made an application to the
NYS DEC to expand their mining operation located on Route 13. The Town received a letter
indicating that the DEC intends to act as Lead Agency in the SEQR process. However the Town
of Cortlandville will be drafting a letter indicating that the Town Board does not agree that the
DEC should be Lead Agency. The Town feels the Cortlandville Planning Board should be Lead
Agency; therefore the Town would conduct a coordinated review with the DEC. A letter in
regards to this will be mailed by May 4, 2017 and Attorney Folmer stated he will notify the
Board when a response is received. Attorney Folmer stated if there is a dispute, the
Commissioner of the Department of Environmental Conservation will make the final decision.
Attorney Folmer explained that the applicants' representative was unaware of the proximity of
the Lime Hollow well and there are severe restrictions in mining from the water table and those
restrictions would have to be obliterated if the application were to be approved as is. The Town
feels it would be more appropriate to have a local board act as Lead Agency.
