County review: Sennett special-use permit for used car sales office flagged for referral-timing reminder
Summary
The Cayuga County GML 239-l, m & n Review Committee found the Town of Sennett special-use permit application for James Coppola's used car sales office at 3233 Turnpike Road raises no intermunicipal concerns but reminded the planning board that the referral should have been submitted prior to final approval under GML §239-m(3).
The Cayuga County GML 239-l, m & n Review Committee reviewed a Town of Sennett referral for a Special Use Permit for James Coppola to operate a used car sales office at 3233 Turnpike Road. The committee determined the action appears to have no intermunicipal concerns and is of local concern only; the motion was made by Kari Terwilliger and approved unanimously.
Alongside the determination, the committee recorded a procedural advisory: that, “in accordance with GML §239-m subsection 3, ‘each referring body shall, before taking final action on proposed actions included in subdivision three of this section, refer the same to such county planning agency or regional planning council.’ This referral for the Special Use Permit for James Coppola was required to be submitted to the Cayuga County GML 239-l, m & n Review Committee before the Town of Sennett Planning Board approved it.” The minutes therefore note that the required referral timing was not followed and remind the town planning board of the statutory referral requirement.
The determination is advisory and does not invalidate any municipal action; it documents the committee’s view of intermunicipal impacts and provides the timing reminder for local officials to observe the procedural requirement in future referrals.
