Planning board recommends negative declaration for 351 Pavement Road rezoning after SEQR review
Summary
Representatives for PM Pavement presented a rezoning referral and environmental materials; the board completed a SEQR question-by-question review, noted DEC concurrence on wetlands and outstanding county comments, and voted to recommend a negative declaration to the town board.
Representatives for PM Pavement told the Lancaster Planning Board they sought a rezoning referral for 351 Pavement Road and provided agency response letters and environmental materials. Mark Romanowski (S8) summarized agency comment: DEC concurred with the wetland delineation, DOT accepted the project's traffic conclusions, and the existing mining permit remains active until 2027. Romanowski said the plan anticipates reclamation and a 17-acre lake as part of redevelopment.
Board members and attendees questioned soils, erosion, trail buffers, and downstream sanitary capacity; staff led a SEQR review addressing excavation quantities, wetlands, surface-water impacts, groundwater, and habitat. After discussion and noting outstanding county comments on curb cuts and downstream sanitary analysis, the board voted to recommend a negative declaration to the town board, concluding that no large or unmitigable environmental impact was evident in the materials before them. The board asked staff to follow up with county comments before the town-board consideration.
