Town adopts FEAF and issues Negative Declaration for FEMA floodplain updates
Summary
The Town Board adopted a Full Environmental Assessment Form and issued a SEQR Negative Declaration for proposed Flood Damage Prevention Chapter amendments, then referred the local law to the Yates County Planning Board under General Municipal Law §239-m (Resolution 04-2025).
The Italy Town Board completed its SEQR review March 11 and adopted the Full Environmental Assessment Form for proposed Flood Damage Prevention Chapter amendments, issuing a Negative Declaration. Town Attorney Ed Brockman led the review and the board referred the proposed local law to the Yates County Planning Board for a General Municipal Law §239-m review. The action was recorded as Resolution 04-2025 and passed by roll call with all five members voting Aye.
The board’s action follows FEMA floodplain map updates and aligns with required state and federal review steps. The resolution text notes DEC involvement in reviewing the proposed local law before adoption. The referral begins the county review period required under General Municipal Law §239-m; the Town will await county feedback before final adoption of any local law changes.
