The total density taking the slope out of consideration would be forty two with the slope would be thirty five. Supervisor Stec-According to our zoning it would be thirty five unless you get a variance. Attorney Lapper-Correct. Supervisor Stec-An apartment or office transition zone is a good fit there. Attorney Lapper-The builders would build the park and donate it to the town. Will review process with Craig Brown on the donation of land to the town. Supervisor Stec-What I like about this now is you have brought this all the way to Sweet Road. Attorney Lapper-Requested that the Town Board seeks Lead Agent for SEQRA Review including the density. Zoning Administrator Brown-You could do that but I would argue that the Planning Board is more suited to do SEQRA. Noted that there are a lot of site issues here, steep slopes over twenty percent, stabilization laws that affect the earth moving grading that you might not think about when you thinking about the rezoning that is my first reaction. Councilman Strough-I think the Planning Board should do it. Supervisor Stec-I do not see why we couldn’t do the SEQRA on the rezoning and the Planning Board does their own SEQRA. Attorney Lapper-It is not a Type I Action so you do not have to have coordinated review so the Town Board could do SEQRA for the rezoning. Supervisor Stec-Questioned if the Town Board initiates this rezoning or the application for this proposal? Zoning Administrator Brown-I think it is best if the applicant submits the application for rezoning. Sr. Planner Stu Baker-Two points 1. Density – The proposed park land would need to be subtracted out for density calculations..will look at this closer 2. This would be Type 1 for SEQRA 179-1506 under Article 15 Amendments to Zoning. Attorney Lapper-If Stu is right we would have to do a coordinated review –Town Board, Planning Board and Zoning Board that is a big process. Supervisor Stec-Work with Craig and Stu on the process … DISCUSSION: HERCULES BROWN FIELD GRANTS Sr. Planning Baker-We are putting together a resolution for the Board to approve the signing of the second contract, we have two different grant contracts, with both signed we put both out for an RFP. Supervisor Stec-Stu is working on getting an engineer to do the Dixon/Farr/Aviation Road round about the engineer money has been approved for 2011 and construction money for 2012. Discussed a turn lane may be included in the project by Queensbury School.
