SUMMARY
The Applicant completed a SEQRA Full/Long Environmental Assessment Form Part 1 in 2013 using the
official SEQRA forms which were then in effect. The Project was then subject to extensive review, including
SEQRA review by the Planning Board as SEQRA Lead Agency, during 2013 and 2014. The Planning Board
ultimately completed Part 2 of that EAF, after several Project modifications during the course of review, and
issued a SEQRA Negative Declaration. As part of the current PUD application review process, the Applicant
has submitted a new Full/Long EAF reflecting the current proposal and using the new SEQRA EAF Form. As
the Project is substantially identical to that which was previously approved by the Planning Board, the Planning
Board reaffirmed its prior SEQRA Negative Declaration on October 20, 2015. However, to fully complete
SEQRA review and to be consistent with the Applicant's new EAF Part 1, the Planning Board wishes to review
and complete the new EAF Part 2.
