Next order of business: Christmas/Roth 2 lot subdivision application.
Application, LIS (LIS=Lot Information Statement),SEQR long form reviewed. Siegel asked Mark Christmas about the change in logging agreement. Mark states the Roth's (current land owners) have an agreement with another logging company that gives them the right to log the property until 7/2010. (Christmas' do not have intentions or desires to log the parcel as per Mark). Trees, which are currently marked in blue paint, are to be harvested for pulp. No further recommendations for Christmas' from board.
Upon review of the LIS, C. Siegel asked Mark Christmas why the document indicates that firing a weapon within 500" of a residence is strictly prohibited instead of being illegal. M. Christmas stated that the reason the document reads this way is because the law could change. I t the document stated this action was "illegal" the contract would need to be amended if the law changed.
As per M. Christmas, the Sauer Road may be used as access, since the Sauer road was included in the deed as a right of way for the property owners who have property next to the road.
Motion made for the TOA PB to act as lead agency for the Christmas/Roth subdivision SEQR process by C. Siegel, 2nd by A. Harden. All in favor. Motion approved.
Motion by C. Siegel to accept application as complete without SEQR. Time clock not yet started, 2nd by R. Link. All in favor. Motion approved.
SEQR reviewed. Motion made by C. Siegel to accept a negative declaration on the SEQR 2nd by E. Sprock All in favor. Motion approved. Time clock starts.
Motion made by C. Siegel to schedule a Public Hearing, 2nd by R. Link. All in Favor. Motion approved. Public Hearing scheduled for October 21, 2009 @ 7:30p.m. before the regular PB meeting.
Jo Myers, Codes Assistant, asked if the board could let her know ahead of time if a subdivision is about to take place. This would help her to effectively assign the new tax number. C. Siegel will inform her as soon a possible the day after the public hearing concerning a subdivision.
Ms. Myers would like to show the board the computer program that she uses to record the new tax numbers. The program provides all the historical data since 1995. The information the computer provides may be helpful to the board for evaluation of future subdivision.
New Business
C. Siegel informed the board about a new subdivision request she received from Robert Raymond. The information for this application must be submitted to the Oneida County Planning board (SEQR, subdivision map) because the property is on a State road. At this time, the TOA PB has accepted no application.
C. Siegel informed board about Town Supervisor Leuenberger findings on the resolution pertaining to alternates. We are unable to broaden the role of alternates due to home rule law, which only allows an alternate to vote if there is a conflict of interest. It is acceptable for them to take minutes.
The importance of attendance was stressed.
Update on Kathy Sweatman: Still looking for her letter of resignation, minute file book, and other items.
Training:
New opportunities were shared with the members. On October 3, HOCCPP is offering a Land Use Training Conference at MVCC. D. Cook will attend.
Phil Street will hold a conference for planning boards on September 24th in Central Square from 7-9. Pre-registration is required.
The next PB meeting is scheduled for October 21, 2009 at 7:30p.m.
At 9:19p.m a motion was made by C. Siegel to adjourn, 2nd by R. Link. All in Favor. Motion approved.
Respectfully submitted,
Dana A. Cook
