Olver Subdivision.

The Planning Board reviewed the Environmental Assessment Form as part of the State
Environmental Quality Assessment. We received that form in late November.

The board cannot make a negative SEQR declaration yet because there was incorrect
information about soils and there are issues that need closer scrutiny.

The chair reminded the applicants about the procedure, the fact that this is a Major
Subdivision requiring that those rules be followed, and that the SEQR requires addressing
concerns with erosion, flooding, visual impact, community character that are raised by this
application.

Resolution:

The Varick Planning Board will submit the application Final Plat for the major
subdivision of Parcel 9-1-28.12 to the Seneca County Planning Board.

The Varick Planning Board requests that the Town Board provide legal support
under Local Law No. 2 of 2022 in order to assist with the State Environmental
Quality Review.

Moved by Burling, Second by Lont. Approved 4-0.

Zoning Code Revisions

The board discussed final revisions of the proposed Zoning Code, incorporating technical
corrections from the Town attorneys and clarification from various town officials.

Two items needed attention.

Resolution:
The Varick Planning Board submits the draft of December 12, 2022, amended with
these two changes, to the Varick Town Board with the recommendation that they
act to adopt it as town law.

In section 315.2, delete “Applications from short term rental owners, received by Jan. 31, 2023
and who owned the property before July 19, 2022, will be exempt from the limit.” because that
provision will be moot when the code takes effect.

In section 501.1 Replace the two incomplete sentences with “Discontinued nonconforming
uses or residential occupancy shall not be resumed. A use shall be considered discontinued

one calendar year after cessation of use or condemnation by the County Health
Department.”

Adjournment.
