® Local Law Details
The Zoning rewrite in progress will probably be end up as two local laws — one for zoning and
one for subdivision. The Mobile Home Ordinance would be a third local law.
Terminology
Changed all Special Permit references to Special Use Permit which is the appropriate term.

3. Pall the boards to see if they think this project needs special review
4. That poll goes to Town Supervisor for decision on whether to send it to a Board OR
directly to the "Town Board

Use 'I'able Changes
Red notes in the Use 'fable were recommendations of the Task l-�orce.
Yellow is areas that were not previously there. These were discussed and notations made.
Section 601 frontage Requirements Changed,
Section 602 Permitted Density in the CV District.
Criteria has been developed — all environmental extremes were mapped out using the GIS
software in house — lots were mapped as CV that were constrained using this information. The
problem with the formula is that It was being applied after subtracting the unusable area. The
change made is that the formula is applied using the entire area, but lots are being built on the
usable area. it was felt the table needed to come out and a simplified formula be put in its place.
® Some of this is covered in the conservation subdivision procedure. Is section 602 redundant?
P8 06 -17 -2010

Suggestion is to look at the parcel, take out unusable acreage, then apply formula of l unit per 2
acres density allowed with lot sizes to be determined by developer. i•lealth Department is still
going to weigh in for septic systems.
Section 702: Applicability
Change #fl to in the Hamlet and Commercial Zone, change # 2 to be mandatory in the
Conservation Zone and make the current #2 the new #3.
Section 600 Density t� able
Added tables for all of the zones that were not previously listed. Reviewed some of those tables.
PUD
Discussed PUD minimum acreage requirement — will delete acreage requirement.
Varna Community Vision Mccting
Varna Community is having a meeting next Monday at the Varna Community Center from 7 -9.
Aquifer Protection Zone discussion
Communication was sent to J Lalley, M Sumner and forwarded to the Planning Board earlier this
week with some information on Virgil's aquifer protection law. A well was drilled this summer
on Keith Lane. The Village doesn't have adequate backup for their water supply. This test well
may be a possibility for a backup for the Village .water supply. A pump test needs to be done, but
water was found. The well has at least an 8 -foot cap, .which is very good.
An aquifer protection zone would regulate the area around the aquifer so as to not contaminate
the aquifer and hence the water supply. There would be different layers ofN protection depending
on where you are in relation to the watershed of'the aquile.r.
We could also have a general aquifer protection law that could handle the rest of the town as
well.
