Pursuant to Chapter 179-10-070 & 179-1-040 of the Zoning Ordinance, commercial sand, gravel and topsoil extraction in an RR zone shall be subject to Planning Board review and approval. Staff Comments Site Plan The applicant proposes to continue extraction and processing of sand and gravel materials in a new area on the property. The plan identifies the area of property that will be used for the project activity of about a 42 acre area. The same plan shows the area that is currently in use and to be discontinued when the new area is opened to be about 49 acres. The applicant has a current active mining permit from DEC that will be updated for use of the new area on the property for extraction and processing of sand and gravel materials. The project also includes construction of a new access road from Ridge Road through an easement on an adjacent property to the project area. The new entrance road and the Dream Lake Road access are shown on the plan. The internal road path is developed pending on location of materials and topography of the site where DEC will oversee per the mining permit as required. The new entrance road is to be about 1,400 ft. in length total and will provide access to the new area of the activity. The road portion on the easement property is about 800 ft. and about 600 ft. on the applicant's property. The applicant has indicated the current Dream Lake Road will no longer be used for carrying materials to and from the site and the new access road will be used by trucks for these activities. The applicant has explained the water is now drawn from a pond at the floor of the pit and no longer from an adjacent stream on the site. In addition the number of settling ponds has been reduced to two from four. The applicant has described the water management as a closed system that recharges itself within the pit footprint. The project is subject to the requirements of the NYSDEC mining permit for water usage and stormwater maintained on site. The information submitted indicates there will be no new lighting or signs on the site. The applicant has indicated that in 2013 the average number of vehicles per day was 12 and in 2014 the average number of vehicles per day was 20.

Special Use Permit The project is subject to a special permit utilizing the criteria for review. A. Harmony with Comprehensive Plan. The project is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The zoning code had been updated recently to include uses such as sand and gravel extraction and processing in the Rural Residential S acre zoning areas. B. Compatibility. The project as proposed is compatible with the neighborhood. The applicant has proposed to eliminate the Dream Lake Road access for truck traffic and move truck traffic to Ridge Road where there is an existing access road for fill material deposits. C. Access, circulation and parking. The project as proposed removes truck traffic from a narrow neighborhood road and places truck traffic on Ridge Road that is a Regional Arterial Road D. Infrastructure and services. The project activities include an 800 ft. road connection to be developed so trucks from FMC can access the site from Ridge Road. E. Environment and natural features. The new access road was changed to avoid wetlands of Army Corp and Adirondack Park Agency. The APA has deferred the review to the Planning Board as the wetlands are being avoided with the new access road. F. Long-term effects. The project will allow for the continuance for mining and excavation at the property and remove truck traffic from an existing roadway that has limited access for the vehicles. The proposed location of the vehicle traffic to Route 9 L is an existing regional arterial road. G. Commercial mineral extraction. 1) Commercial mineral extraction (defined as above the Department of Environmental Conservation threshold) shall be allowed only within the Heavy Industrial (HI) District by special use permit and only in a substantially undeveloped area, at least 1,000 feet (horizontal distance) from any existing residence.
