Italy board adopts local flood‑damage prevention law
Summary
The Italy Town Board unanimously adopted Resolution 08‑2025 on May 13, 2025, adding new Flood Damage Prevention Regulations to Chapter 177 of the town code after prior SEQRA review and a March 11 public hearing.
The Italy Town Board on May 13 adopted Resolution 08‑2025, approving a new local law that adds Flood Damage Prevention Regulations to Chapter 177 of the Town Code. The resolution follows prior SEQRA review and a public hearing held on March 11, 2025.
The resolution language states, "The Town Board of the Town of Italy adopts said proposed Local Law." The motion to adopt was made by Councilperson Dave Ferry and seconded by Councilperson Brent Walton; roll call showed unanimous approval (Craig, Walton, Ferry, Baranowski, MacKenzie). The board directed the Town Clerk, through legal counsel, to file the new law with the New York State Secretary of State and to publish and post the Notice of Adoption as required.
The move formalizes town floodplain rules intended to align local permitting and construction standards with flood‑risk considerations. The board’s action also notes that the Yates County Planning Board had the required GML 239‑m referral period and that the Town may proceed under GML Section 239‑m because the county had not filed recommendations within 30 days.
