Cayuga County panel: Owasco Planned Development District raises no county-level concerns; health department check advised
Summary
The Cayuga County GML 239-l, m & n Review Committee determined May 21 that the Town of Owasco's proposed Planned Development District for Agriventure CNY, LLC has no intermunicipal concerns, and advised the applicant to verify that the existing well and septic systems can support the new office and worker support space.
The Cayuga County GML 239-l, m & n Review Committee reviewed the Town of Owasco referral for a Planned Development District for Agriventure CNY, LLC and determined the proposal raises no intermunicipal concerns. Committee Director Kari Terwilliger moved for the determination; the motion passed with unanimous AYE votes.
The PDD would allow construction of a commercial office building to provide office and administrative space and worker relief and support facilities associated with an agricultural operation, including rest areas and sanitary facilities. The committee recorded a specific advisory: “A reminder to the applicant that they need to check with the Cayuga County Health Department to make sure that the existing well and septic system will support the needs of the new building.” That comment was recorded as part of the committee's decision.
The committee's decision is an advisory determination under New York General Municipal Law §239-l, m & n; it does not substitute for municipal permitting. The referral was evaluated on the materials submitted by the Town of Owasco and the committee’s standard criteria for intermunicipal impacts. No members of the public or outside agencies were listed as present for the discussion.
Next steps for the applicant include coordination with the Cayuga County Health Department to confirm water and septic capacity and any required upgrades before the town issues final approvals.
