Board declares lead‑agency intent for Rizzo subdivision and asks applicant to coordinate new driveway with DOT
Summary
The board declared intent to be lead agency for a two‑lot subdivision on Route 376 for the Rizzo family, discussed shared‑driveway design and emergency‑access needs for a proposed 500‑ft driveway, and asked the applicant to meet with DOT and revise plans for circulation and fire‑vehicle pull‑offs.
Charles May, representing the Rizzo subdivision application on Route 376, presented plans to divide a 3.7‑acre parcel into two roughly 1.5‑acre lots so the applicant’s son can build a house. The board discussed driveway design, emergency access and DOT permitting for a curb cut on Route 376.
May said the proposed driveway run would be roughly 500 feet. Fire and public‑safety representatives requested a pull‑off or turnaround wide enough for apparatus and cautioned about long unpaved emergency lanes. One member recommended an oversized apron or a single common curb cut with a divided entrance to minimize new curb openings; the applicant agreed to meet DOT and revise the plan.
The board declared intent to be lead agency for SEQR circulation and asked the applicant to prepare a plan set for DOT review showing the preferred driveway arrangement and any temporary measures. The board left open whether a temporary construction access would be permitted pending final DOT approval but asked for a clear plan for a permanent approved access prior to final occupancy.
