Summary

The committee recommended approval of a site plan for a single-family home at 4985 Rockefeller Road, noting the property’s location in Owasco Lake Lakeshore and Steep Slope overlay districts and reminding the owner to obtain county health approvals and a driveway permit.

On Feb. 19 the Cayuga County GML 239-l, m & n Review Committee reviewed a site plan referral from the Town of Owasco for a new single-family home at 4985 Rockefeller Road (applicant: Linasha Jerome).

Because the property lies in the Town's Lakeshore Environmental Protection Overlay District and Steep Slope Environmental Protection Overlay District, the committee recommended approval without change but attached three reminders: secure Cayuga County Health Department approvals for the septic system and well; recognize that the property is subject to Owasco Lake Watershed rules and may be inspected during and after construction; and obtain a driveway permit from the Cayuga County Highway Department because Rockefeller Road is a county highway. The minutes state that "inspectors from that program will visit and monitor the site during and after construction as necessary."

Motion: Kari Terwilliger; Second: Kathleen Cuddy. Vote: All AYE. The committee's recommendation is advisory; the town maintains authority over final permitting and enforcement under GML §239 procedures.
