Agenda Item 1: Public Hearing for final subdivision approval at 62-86 Prospect St., Hunter Brook Subdivision for 7 building lots on Prospect St. and 10 building lots off Hickory St.
Chair asks the owner or agent to speak.
Bob Barry, attorney for applicant Larry Jones – we have been here several times and have nothing new to add except to ask the City to change its position on annexation of the parcels in Sennett to annexation of the road only.
Steve Lynch – passes out a letter of opposition from a neighbor on Seneca Pkwy. There is a revised resolution with the change to include annexation of the road only and not including that portion of parcel 5 at the end of the cul-de-sac. This would then require a variance for the applicant for street frontage. Any action tonight will require a negative declaration on SEQR first then approval of the subdivision resolution.
Chair asks the public for comments. No comments. Closes the Public Hearing and asks the Board for comments.
John Breanick- who will handle the infrastructure for each side of the proposed road?
Bob Barry – the entire street will be in the City of Auburn including all infrastructure. The Sennett side will get City water/sewer per existing agreements.
John Breanick – questions the pay rate.
Nancy Hussey – it is per the existing Municipal Service agreement between Auburn and Sennett.
John Breanick – will this need Council approval?
Nancy Hussey – the annexation will require Council approval. Mr. Jones will present a petition after he acquires the property.
John Breanick – will the road be done by City specs?
Bob Barry – yes
John Breanick – what about street lighting?
Bob Barry – also as designated by the City.
Steve Lynch – there is a fully detailed EAF in the packets. Issues have boiled down to storm water management. All other effects (traffic, etc.) are not an issue. Drainage post development will be less than current. Staff recommends a negative declaration on SEQR.
Chair asks for a motion for a negative declaration on SEQR. Motion made by Sandra Craner, seconded by Sam Giangreco.
John Breanick – asks if it’s appropriate for him to vote is he has interest in purchasing a parcel there.
