1. SUBDIVISION & SEQR: SUSAN S. LADUKE

Minor 2 Lot Subdivsion ~ 2645 State Route 22

Dale Holderman was assigned to this application and referred to the survey map submitted by the applicant. He stated he thought it was a straight forward subdivision and the only point of issue is the fact that the water source for the lot being sold is housed on the lot being retained by the applicant but noted that really is not this Board’s issue as the applicant will most likely have an easement written into the new deed. Susan LaDuke was present and concurred.

It was recognized a SEQR is required.

2. SUBDIVISION/MERGE & SEQR: ELMORE SPCA

Minor 2 Lot Subdivsion & Merge ~ 556 Telegraph Rd.

Mrs. Douglas and Mr. Lukens were assigned to this application. It was noted the applicant owns Lot #281.-1-29 and Lot #281.-1-30. They are seeking to sell Lot #30 but before they do they would like to subdivide the lot and merge that portion with Lot #29. Mrs. Carol Solari-Ruscoe was present from Elmore SPCA and concurred that is their intension. It was noted by Mrs. Douglas there is a discrepancy with the tax map dimensions and the deeds provided by the applicant. The tax map dimensions for Lot #29, which is the lot the facility is located on, reads 150’ x 500’ but the deed indicates the lot is 130’ xo 500’; and referring to Lot #30, the tax map dimension read 37 acres and the deed indicates 36 acres. Mr. Murnane stated the deeds are the official documents this Board needs to refer to. With the deed dimensions in mind, the applicant noted, to simply give themselves the option, if the need should arise in the future, to expand the shelter, they would like revise the subdivision measurements to be 220’ x 500, rather than the originally submitted dimension of 200’ x 500’. After some discussion, the Board agreed to amend the application to reflect the revised measurements.

It was recognized a SEQR is required.

MOTION: Mr. Williams moved to declare this an unlisted action and name the Town of Peru Planning Board as lead agency. Second by Mrs. Douglas.

ROLL CALL: Mr. Holderman ~ yes, Mrs. Douglas ~ yes, Mr. Kanoza ~ yes, Mr. Lukens – yes, Mr. Williams ~ yes.

MOTION CARRIED. Mr. Murnane went over the SEQR; the Planning Board concurred there are no negative impacts.

MOTION: Mr. Holderman moved to declare this a negative declaration. Second by Mr. Kanoza.

ROLL CALL: Mr. Holderman ~ yes, Mrs. Douglas ~ yes, Mr. Kanoza ~ yes,

Mr. Lukens – yes, Mr. Williams ~ yes.

MOTION CARRIED.

MOTION: Mrs. Douglas moved to approve this application with the condition the approved 220’ x 500’ from Lot #30 be merged with Lot #29 thus making Lot #29 350’ x 500’ and Lot #30 approximately 36 acres and the new deeds be reviewed and approved by Mr. Murnane.

Second by Mr. Lukens.

ROLL CALL: Mr. Holderman ~ yes, Mrs. Douglas ~ yes, Mr. Kanoza ~ yes, Mr. Lukens – yes, Mr. Williams ~ yes.

MOTION CARRIED.
