Lysander planners designate lead agency and issue negative declaration for Longview subdivision, public hearing to follow
Summary
The Planning Board declared itself SEQR lead agency for the Longview Apartments/Townhouses subdivision (8850 River Road), determined the action an unlisted action, issued a Negative Declaration, and scheduled a public hearing to be set by the secretary after requisite fees are paid.
The Town of Lysander Planning Board on June 11 designated itself lead agency under SEQR for the Longview Apartments/Townhouses major subdivision at 8850 River Road and issued a Negative Declaration after reviewing the Short Environmental Assessment Form.
Julian Clark of Plumley Engineering told the board the subdivision would create separate lots for the townhouse development, apartment development and riverfront parcel without changing the approved site layout or infrastructure. Board members confirmed Lots 15–17 comply with subdivision requirements and emphasized that outstanding site plan issues — including stormwater management, SWPPP, lighting plan, fire department review, floodplain considerations, pedestrian access, snow storage and water and sewer capacity — remain part of the overall site plan review.
Chairman John Corey reviewed Part II of the SEAF with the board; the board answered the checklist items in the negative for material conflicts, changes in use or intensity, impacts to infrastructure, water/wastewater, historic or natural resources and public health. The board determined the proposal is an UNLISTED ACTION and issued a NEGATIVE DECLARATION (motion passed 4–0). The board also resolved to hold a public hearing on the subdivision at a date to be designated by the secretary, conditioned upon payment of applicable fees.
Next steps: Applicant must complete fee payment and the town will schedule the public hearing; outstanding technical items will be addressed in the subsequent site plan review process.
