Adujustment—Tax Lots #147.20-1-6 & #147.20-1-5—Attorney Larry Gardner
presenting
L. Gardner reviewed the Lot Line Adjustment
application and proposed survey map with the Board. He explained the
applicant’s intent to enlarge parcel 147.20-1-5 by 1.809 acres by rotating the boundary
line between parcels #147.20-1-5 and # 147.20-1-6, both of which parcels are
owned by applicant. R. Volpi inquired as to whether there were any restrictive
covenants or deed restrictions associated with the proposed adjustment and L.
Gardner said there were none.
L. Gardner presented application fee of $50.00,
check #3892, made out to Village of Hunter and copy of new parcel descriptions
to be recorded with the deeds for the two parcels.
Board reviewed the Short EAF presented by L.
Gardner. After discussion of any potential environmental impacts caused by the
lot line adjustment, G. Goodrich made MOTION
for negative declaration under the SEQRA review of the proposed unlisted
action. MOTION was seconded by H.
Goldberg and carried unanimously.
After Board discussion, P. Slutzky asked if any
Board member wished to make motion to schedule a public hearing for the

Hunter Peaks
Residential Development—Tax Lot#164.00-7-3—Sketch Plan for Major Subdivision—Jeff Prince presenting
Board reviewed letter from Walter Kubow, P.E.,
of Chazen Companies relative to the submitted sketch plan. J. Prince then
reviewed sketch plan at length with Board.
Board agreed unanimously that proposed
subdivision would be classified as a Major Subdivision as there are more than
32 new lots proposed to be created.
P. Slutzky advised that there appeared to be
three or more new lots that were not designated as such on sketch plan. He said
the ownership of the private roads would have to be designated, as well, and
that a road maintenance agreement would have to be spelled out, whether it is
incorporated in an approved Homeowners Association document, in the individual
lot deeds, or otherwise. He also advised that the private roads in the
subdivision would be required to be designed and constructed in accordance with
the Village Road Standards (final pavement surface not required). R. Volpi
pointed out that lots shown on the sketch plan that share common driveways
would also have to have separate road maintenance agreements spelled out and
incorporated in the affected lots’ deeds.
Board discussed with J. Prince various other
issues that would need to be addressed in preliminary plat, including;
certification from Central Hudson that adequate electric power would be
available and where it would be coming from; certification from Village of
Hunter that adequate potable water was available to service the subdivision and
that tying into the Village water system would be allowed; certification from
Hunter Highlands Pollution Control Corp. waste water treatment plant that it
had the approved capacity to handle the additional load of the proposed
subdivision upon full build out and that it would accept the tying in of that
load.
P. Slutzky further advised J. Prince that the
Preliminary Plat should incorporate the various Requirements spelled out in the
Subdivision Law for Major Subdivisions.
Board discussed some of the requirements that
would have to be met if the Board should elect to seek lead agency status in a
coordinated SEQRA review for the proposed subdivision and who the involved and
interested parties to that review might be.
J. Prince advised that Chazen Companies was
preparing a Long Form EAF, draft SWPPP, and Preliminary Plat for Major
Subdivision that should be ready for March Planning Board meeting.
P. Slutzky asked J. Prince to remember to bring
the following items to the March meeting; Documents proving that Lester Tanner
or any other individual has the authority to represent the interests of
Mountaintraill LLC; Signed and notarized Authorization Forms for J. Prince,
Chazen Companies, et al, to represent Mountaintrail LLC for this review process;
Signed Major Subdivision Application Form; Application fee of $250 plus $100
per lot; Completed Long Form EAF; Preliminary Plat in accordance with
Subdivision Law; Draft SWPPP.
P. Slutzky advised J. Prince that Board will
review and discuss the possibility that Board may desire to hire a consultant
to aid in the navigation of the SEQRA review process. If that should be the
Board’s decision the cost of said consultant would have to be born by the
Applicant.
Correspondence: None
Adjournment:
Motion was made to adjourn at 8:45 p.m. by H.
Goldberg, seconded by R. Volpi, and
carried unanimously.
