WOK SESSION - Preliminary Subdivision Approval and Consideration of
Modifications of Area Requirements under Town Law
Section 278 - R. Diforio - 707 Weaver Street -
Block 102 Lots 1 & 181.
There was considerable discussion about a proposed requirement for
testing for and correcting of contaminants in the runoff water on the
three subdivided parcels. Mr. Silverberg stated that no other
developments in the Town have had such requirements, and Mr. Trachtman
stated that the testing could be quite expensive, ultimately up to
$100,000. Also, if contamination were discovered, the New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation could be consulted. It has
wider discovery powers than the Tawn.
On motion of Mr. Fay, seconded by Mr. Murray, the Board voted unanimously
to remove from those SEQRA findings dated February 22, 1994, which had 11
items, Paragraphs 2H, and 3. It voted unanimously to delete from
Paragraph 11 the words "...and to ensure compliance with the water
quality conditions of these findings..." and ". . .water quality
compliance..." and fram Paragraph 10 the reference to holding owners
jointly and severally liable. The Board voted unanimously to add the
words "...and otherwise monitor these conditions..." to Paragraph 2B.
TEMPORARY ADJOURNMENT
Mrs. Reader adjourned the meeting for a short break.
Mr. Silverberg suggested that the Board consider whether Arrowhead Lane
provides adequate access for emergency vehicles and whether the addition
of two more houses changes this quality. He stated that the Board could
consider Arrowhead Lane to be on an official map.
Mrs. Reader stated that she felt that the proposed drainage system would
be a benefit to the Town, and Mr. Murray stated that the lack of a new
curb cut on Weaver Street was a benefit, too.
It was the consensus of the Board that Arrowhead Lane was adequate and
that the Planning Board could approve the modifications of area
requirements. Mr. Silverberg was directed to draft findings in this
matter.
ADJOURNMENT
On motion of Mrs. Reader, seconded by Mr. Murray, the meeting was
adjourned at 11:15 PM.
