CONSIDERATION - Subdivision - Bonnie Briar Syndicate, Inc. - Bonnie Briar Country Club - 808 Weaver Street - Block 201 Lot 19 Adam Wekstein, attorney, represented the syndicate accompanied by Nathaniel Parish and Michael Weiner of Parish and Weiner, planning consultants. The Board had received several memos on this matter from Town staff. Mrs. Reader, referring to the memo from the Building Inspector, stated that the proposed lots would not comply with R-30 zoning and that some of the property would need to be changed to an R-15 Zone. Even with such a change, 10 of the 71 lots would have less than 15,000 square feet. Many lack proper depth or frontage. Mr. Silverberg explained that the Building Planning Board June 8, 1994 -2- Inspector has stated that this application does not comply with cluster requirements under the Zoning Ordinance Section 89-15. Mr. Weiner stated that his client is requesting that the Planning Board refer the cluster design application to the Town Board for approval under Section 278 of the State Law. He stated that the applicant prefers the cluster design in order to leave open space and to modify and preserve the eighteen-hole golf course, but that if necessary his client would apply for a conventional subdivision with 130 lots. Mr. Silverberg stated that Zoning Ordinance Section 89-15 implements Town Law Section 278 with specific limitations. The Building Inspector states the proposed cluster plan does not conform to Section 89-15, and the Planning Board does not have authorization to override the interpretation of the Building Inspector. Mr. Weiner stated that the density calculations were based on an R-30 zone and that the Building Inspector is discussing lot dimensions in his memo and not lack of density. Mr. Silverberg pointed out that Section 89-15 addresses lot dimensions. Mr. Parish requested a copy of the Building Inspector's memo and an opportunity to respond to it at the next meeting. Mr. Wekstein asked that the Board declare its intention to act as Lead Agency and circulate notice to interested agencies. Mr. Silverberg stated that he saw no problem as long as the applicant was not seeking to start any time frames running as the issue of the number of lots which could be created still needed to be resolved. Mr. Wekstein agreed. Mr. Silverberg stated that by declaring itself the Lead Agency the Planning Board was not boxing itself in, that no time frame would be starting and that the Planning Board could still refuse to grant the application. On motion of Mr. Negrin, seconded by Mr. Fay, the following resolution was adopted by a vote of 5-2, Mr. Darsky and Mrs. Harrington opposed. RESOLVED, that the Planning Board intends to act as the Lead Agency and be solely responsible for determining whether the proposed action may have a significant impact on the environment; and it is FURTHER RESOLVED, that this is a Type I Action which may have a significant impact on the environment as determined by New York State or corresponding local law; and it is FURTHER RESOLVED, that the circulation of notice to the involved agencies is directed.

Mr. Mustacato submitted diagrams showing where changes to the grade would be made and stated that rip-rap will be added to the stream bed. There is a culvert in Fenbrook Drive which limits the flow of water, and this calculation will not change. Mr. Trachtman requested time to consider the proposed changes in grade, and Mrs. Reader stated that, in any event, a new Site Plan must be submitted.
