Planning board conditionally approves subdivision of 23 Perrine Street; parcel may be sold to hospital
Summary
The Auburn Planning Board voted May 6 to approve a subdivision of 23 Perrine Street into a roughly 2.403‑acre parcel and a 0.505‑acre parcel with a condition that updated survey measurements be recorded; the larger parcel was described as intended for sale to Auburn Community Hospital.
On May 6 the Auburn Planning Board approved a minor subdivision of 23 Perrine Street into two parcels — Parcel A (approximately 2.403 acres) and Parcel B (approximately 0.505 acres) — subject to a condition that the recent survey include additional measurement callouts before filing. The applicant, Brian Bulkovich, was represented by attorney Joe Pedegrass.
Pedegrass told the board the intent is for Parcel A to be sold to Auburn Community Hospital; Parcel B, a smaller lot containing a shop or outbuilding, would remain with the current owner. The board reviewed the short form environmental assessment and voted to adopt a SEQR negative declaration for the subdivision.
Public comment focused on survey accuracy, historic property boundaries and traffic/parking concerns related to the hospital’s recent land purchases nearby. Michael Long of 149 North Street, who described himself as a former city planner, said he has researched the property and identified a discrepancy in a boundary angle and distances compared with prior maps; he asked that the record and the filed map be corrected. Pedegrass and the applicant’s surveyor told the board they had reviewed current markers and that most measured distances match prior records, and they agreed to add the measurements to the filing map before submission to the county clerk.
The board adopted the SEQR negative declaration (motion by Theresa Walsh; second by Amy Sargent) and then approved the subdivision with the additional caveat that the map include the added measurement callouts and that any neighbor boundary disputes be resolved between property owners prior to final recordation. The roll call vote on the subdivision was unanimous: Andy Tehan, Fran Deloia, Theresa Walsh, Amy Sargent and Crystal Cosentino all voted yes.
Staff noted the subdivision review does not authorize specific future development or changes in use; any hospital site plan or future development would require separate planning and permitting.
