Approved Copy PB Minutes 5/26/16

Meeting called to order at 7:02 pm. Members present: Linda, Bill, Rich,
Dave, Barry, and Tom.

Previous minutes were read and approved – motion made by Rich, second
by Dave.

Frankie Long came to the meeting to get information about adding a 100’
strip of property to her and her husband’s property on East Lake Rd. We
informed her that if she is just extending her property line by this purchase
it will not be a subdivision. However, if the lot is bought separately the sale
will have to go through minor subdivision approval. In that case she would be
able to sell the new lot at some point in the future.

Jim Somerville and Scott Ditzell returned to inform us that they have
not been able to get Bruce Maybury to sell the needed 70’ strip to conform to
current subdivision code. At this point the board views the current subdivision
as illegal and the property sale cannot proceed. Linda is going to contact the
town lawyer to double check our interpretation of the code. She will also seek
any other possible resolutions the lawyer may offer. Jim and Scott are going to
contact Bruce again. We also suggested they check with the lawyer that Jim and
Bruce used for the original sale of the property to see if he can do anything
to resolve the situation. The original sale was not a legal subdivision
according to current code.

Katherine Potter contacted the PB prior to our meeting with information
about increasing the business possibilities of Yale Manor. She proposes
building four 30’ diameter yurts on the property for Glamour Camping. She
wanted our advice as to how she should proceed so that everything will be
properly approved and she can proceed with the purchase. She had concerns about
electrical wires, septic, setbacks, etc. We informed her that she needs to
contact the ZBA about a variance for setbacks, Seneca County PB for building
permits, NYSEG, and the necessity of a special use permit. A site plan review
will be necessary as well. She was appreciative of our advice and seems very
hopeful to move ahead with her plans.

We briefly discussed Tom’s draft letter to the TB and various parties
that need to be informed of the need to go through proper procedures for
subdivision approval. He is addressing banks, lawyers, realtors, county
officials, etc. with introductions that will draw their attention. He is very
near completion.

Bill brought up a concern that should be added to our future topics of
discussion of zoning issues. Sometimes summer rental properties can become
problematic in areas such as noise, parking, traffic, and other disturbances.
Should we consider zoning that may manage or help control such situations?

Meeting adjourned at 9:05 pm – motion made by Bill, seconded by Dave.
Next meeting will be 6/23/16.

Respectfully submitted,

Barry Somerville, secretary
