Barrett & Associates LLC; last 2 dated[5_63/22/19; revised 6/21/19 [sEP 'lan entitled, "Erosion Control and Planting • Plan " prepared by J.D.

Barrett & Associates LLC; dated 3/28/19; [sb,] • Environmental Narrative, prepared by Steven W. Coleman Environmental Consulting, LLC, dated June 20, 2019. WHEREAS, a duly noticed public hearing for the Application was held on July 10 and August 14 2019; and WHEREAS, due to its location adjacent to the Leatherstocking Trail, a "Critical Environmental Area" as defined in Chapter 92 of the Town Code,the Board determined that the Proposed Action, which otherwise would have been an unlisted action under New York State Environmental Quality Review Act ("SEQRA"), is a Type 1 action pursuant to the Environmental Quality Review regulations found in Chapter 92, Article 1 of the Town Code ("MEQR"); and WHEREAS, Planning Board reviewed Part 1 of the Full Environmental Assessment Form submitted by the Applicant in support of the application, sought comments from all interested agencies and, based upon such information, and in consultation with the Town Environmental Planner, completed Part 2 of the Full Environmental Assessment Form; and WHEREAS, in accordance with §114-7(D) of the Town Code, the Board has considered the following: A. all available reports concerning the Proposed Action from other commissions, including the CZMC, and Town, County, State and/or Federal agencies; B. all relevant facts and circumstances pertaining to the Proposed Action, including but not limited to: a. any potential environmental impact of the Proposed Action: The Planning Board finds the Proposed Action will not create negative environmental impacts because the addition of fill materials, retaining wall and extensive new plantings will stabilize the soil, increase infiltration and reduce surface runoff and erosion. In addition, the Applicant will remove existing debris piles, invasive shrubs and ground cover within the wetland buffer and replace with native shrubs and ground covers and trees of similar species will be planted to replace impacted trees. The Applicant showed the Board a sample of the material to be used to construct the retaining wall, and the Board found the material to be visually acceptable. In addition, over time, the plantings will provide a vegetative buffer to the retaining wall to minimize or eliminate the visual impact. b. the alternatives to the Proposed Action: The Planning Board finds that there is no need to evaluate alternatives to the Proposed Action because it will improve existing conditions related to surface water runoff and erosion and there will be adequate measures to protect the wetland buffer and. 3 c. the impact of the Proposed Action on wetland functions and the benefits as set forth in §114-1 of the Town Code: The Planning Board finds that any impact to wetland functions will be addressed by the extensive plantings and slope stabilization measures. C. The availability of preferable alternative locations for the Proposed Action on the subject parcel: The Planning Board finds that there is no preferable alternative location to the Proposed Action because the Property is approximately % acre with a small front yard dominated by a driveway and very narrow side yards. Therefore, the backyard is the only location that could provide a play area for children. D. the availability of further technical improvements or safeguards that could feasibly be added to the proposal; The Planning Board finds the Proposed Action and related mitigation requires no further technical improvements, particularly because, at the request of the Board, the Applicant provided additional plantings to buffer the retaining wall. E. the possibility of avoiding reduction of the wetland's or watercourse's natural capacity to support desirable biological life, prevent flooding, control sedimentation and/or prevent erosion, facilitate drainage, and provide recreation and open space; The Planning Board finds that once the project is complete, the Proposed Action will provide better protection for the adjacent wetlands because it will stabilize the soil, reduce surface water runoff and erosion, improve the filtering function of the buffer area, reduce the transport of sediment and debris and enhance diversity of natural plants in the area. F. the extent to which the public or private benefit derived from such use may or may not outweigh or justify the possible degradation of the wetland or watercourse, the interference with the exercise of other property rights, and the impairment or endangerment of public health, safety, or welfare: The Planning Board finds that, because the Proposed Action includes mitigation to protect the wetland buffer, it materially enhances the Applicant's proposed enjoyment of its property and poses no threat to the public health, safety or welfare. WHEREAS, the Planning Board has considered the Application and Plans; comments and responses to questions by the Applicant and its representatives; the memos, letters, reports and comments of the Town Engineer, Town Building Inspector, Town Environmental Planner, Town's Consulting Engineer and CZMC; and has heard interested members of the public.
