Summary

A proposed lot-line amendment transferring 5.23 acres to an existing lot was presented; town reviewers said the EAF lists inconsistent acreage (5.85 vs 5.23) and that the application requires a public hearing; the board scheduled the hearing and authorized referral to the ZBA if lot-width calculations require a variance.

An applicant presented a lot-line amendment transferring approximately 5.23 acres from a vacant parcel to an adjacent residential lot. The town’s technical review found the EAF lists the transferred area as 5.85 acres in one place and asked the applicant to correct the inconsistency and to show the approximate septic location and well status. The board scheduled a public hearing and, to save time if needed, authorized referral to the Zoning Board of Appeals should subsequent lot-width calculations show a variance is required.

Town staff advised the application is a Type II action under SECRA as presented and that no county referral was required based on location, but that public notice and a public hearing are required by the town code for lot-line changes.
