Board approves Robin Russell lot‑line adjustment and short‑form SEQR finding
Summary
The board reviewed a lot‑line adjustment for Robin Russell, completed the short‑form environmental review (finding no significant adverse impacts) and approved the application; the board noted wetlands mapping was incomplete.
The Planning Board voted to approve a lot‑line adjustment submitted for the Russell Tract that would allow the property owner to sell a wedge of land to adjacent owners and build a replacement house on higher ground.
During staff presentation, the board reviewed the short‑form environmental assessment (SEQR "short form seeker") and discussed wetlands mapping. The chair said the mapper did not fully identify wetlands but that the presence of the river was shown; after reviewing the short‑form questions he announced: "I'm going to check the 2nd box, which is proposed action will not result in any significant adverse environmental impacts." Several members agreed.
The board opened a public comment period; no substantive criticisms were recorded and the board moved to approve the application with a motion and voice vote.
