Summary
The Education and Economic Development Committee approved SEQRA Short Environmental Assessment Forms and the inclusion of six properties into Orange County Agricultural District No. 1 after staff found no adverse environmental impact; the motion passed unanimously.
The Education and Economic Development Committee voted June 15 to approve SEQRA Short Environmental Assessment Forms and include six properties in Orange County Agricultural District No. 1.
Virginia Scott moved approval of the SEQRA forms and applications, and Michael L. Essig seconded. Alan Sorensen, Commissioner, Planning Department, told the committee the office received eight applications this year and recommended six properties for inclusion. He said the Environmental Assessment Forms showed the additions "would not have an adverse impact on the environment." The motion carried; minutes record "All in favor."
The committee did not record individual roll-call votes in the transcript. The approval directs county staff to proceed with the administrative steps needed to include the recommended parcels in Agricultural District No. 1.
