Barre zoning board declares lead agency, issues negative SEQR determination for Gillette Road application
Summary
The Barre Zoning Board of Appeals declared itself lead agency under SEQR and adopted a negative declaration for the pole-barn proposal at 14069 Gillette Road before approving the variance.
The Barre Zoning Board of Appeals declared itself lead agency for SEQR review and accepted a negative declaration for the proposed pole barn at 14069 Gillette Road. The board read the environmental-review checklist aloud, posed standard SEQR questions about community character, traffic, and environmental resources, and then moved to classify the proposal as an "unlisted action" under SEQR.
During the read-through a board member recited the SEQR questions, asking whether the proposed action would create a material conflict with the land-use plan, alter intensity of land use, or impair environmental resources. After discussing the screening questions the board moved to adopt the negative determination and recorded affirmative votes in a roll call. The SEQR step preceded the motion to approve the use variance itself.
