Torrey applicant proposes 25‑acre subdivision; county board issues no‑impact finding
Summary
Sharon Lockner requested approval to subdivide about 25 acres from a 53‑acre parcel in the Town of Torrey to create a lot for sale; the Yates County Planning Board found no significant countywide impact under GML 239 and approved the referral, with one member recorded as abstaining.
The Yates County Planning Board considered referral 2026‑24 from the Town of Torrey in which Sharon Lockner proposed subdividing roughly 25 acres from a 53‑acre parcel at 790 State Route 14. Lockner said she intends to remain on one parcel and list the other for sale, and that the prospective purchaser is a private buyer, not for solar development.
John Sigmon moved and Jack Young seconded that the county find no significant countywide impact under GML 239; the motion passed as recorded in the transcript with 11 in favor and George Dowse recorded as abstaining. The board’s finding is procedural; any local approvals, surveys, or state reviews required for subdivision remain the responsibility of the Town of Torrey and the applicant.
The transcript records the acreage and the applicant’s intent; no conditions or additional county requirements were attached to the recorded finding.
