Board accepts RMN Properties lot-line application, refers plan to county
Summary
The planning board accepted an internal lot-line adjustment application for RMN Properties LLC at 40 Mountain Road Extension, voted to refer the application to the Albany County Planning Board under GML 239-M, waived a local public hearing and declared the action a Type II under SEQR.
The Planning Board/Zoning Board of Appeals voted June 18 to accept an application from RMN Properties LLC for an internal lot-line adjustment affecting properties at 40 Mountain Road Extension.
Attorney Mr. Biscone, who said he filed the application, described the change as an internal adjustment to move the old Linus residence off a neighboring ‘‘tank farm’’ lot and join it with an adjacent residential-agricultural (RA) parcel. He told the board the adjustment is intended primarily for public-safety reasons and to correct a prior boundary arrangement.
Board counsel reviewed the town code distinction between lot-line adjustments and subdivisions and noted that referral to Albany County under General Municipal Law (GML) 239-M is discretionary but commonly used when a 500-foot buffer is implicated. After discussion, the board voted to refer the matter to the Albany County Planning Board under GML 239-M and waived a local public hearing for the application.
The board also voted to declare the lot-line adjustment a Type II action under SEQR (citing 6 NYCRR 617.5, C(16)), which generally precludes further environmental review for ministerial land-record adjustments of this kind. The board noted it expects to consider the county report and, if no adverse findings arise, to act on the application at its August 6 meeting.
No final approval of the lot-line adjustment was recorded at the June 18 meeting; the board said it would take up the item after the county completes its review.
