Lysander board advises applicant on minor subdivision, recommends against an unplanned rezoning and approves final plat for Bella Casa phase
Summary
During other business the board advised Daniel Regan on redesigning a proposed minor subdivision to meet setbacks or secure an access easement, recommended the Town Board deny a requested Agricultural-to-General Business rezoning absent a development plan, and approved the Bella Casa final plat while urging the developer to address an unfinished road connection.
At its June 11 meeting the Town of Lysander Planning Board provided guidance to a private owner on a conceptual minor subdivision, recommended that the Town Board not approve a rezoning request without a defined development plan, and approved the Final Plat for Bella Casa Builders (Alberici Copper River Phase II, Section 4) while expressing concerns about an unfinished road connection.
Daniel Regan appeared to discuss a conceptual Minor Subdivision of 7805 Hicks Road that would place two residences on separate lots. The board flagged nonconforming side-yard setbacks and the potential for a zero-lot-line condition that would separate an attached garage and barn from the principal residence. Members advised Mr. Regan to work with a licensed land surveyor to revise the lot configuration or prepare an access easement drafted by an attorney so the subdivision could avoid Zoning Board of Appeals relief.
The board also considered a Town Board request to recommend rezoning property near Oswego and Lamson Roads (the CNY Crops parcel) from Agricultural to General Business. Without a specific development proposal or planning objective the board unanimously recommended the Town Board “NOT” approve the requested zone change until an identified plan justifies the change (Resolution #7).
On the Bella Casa Builders final plat (Alberici Copper River Phase II, Section 4), the board found no significant deviations from the preliminary plat and authorized the chair to waive the Final Plat public hearing and sign the Final Plat conditioned on payment of appropriate fees (Resolution #8). Several members reiterated concerns about an unfinished connection to Patchett Road and discussed installing or replacing “Construction Entrance Only” signage and other temporary traffic control measures; the board agreed to request the developer install or replace signage rather than adding it as a formal condition.
The meeting adjourned at 8:12 p.m. (Resolution #9).
