Old Business

  • James/Minna Allison: 2-Lot Subdivision, Parcel 19.003-1-22, Bear Creek Rd. The Board’s main concern was that the subdivision would not meet the requirements outlined in the Site Review Law. Although D. Frymire pointed out that White Lake Corners is designated for cluster development and the property meets the character of the area, the Board voted to deny the request, and sent it to the Town Board for a variance hearing. Motion by G. Ritter/T. Tyler
  • J. VanValkenburg: 2-Lot Subdivision, Parcels 2.003-1-2.7 & 2.003-1-2.9,

Lakeview Road. The subdivision request was approved on motion by A. Daktor/D. Ultsch

  • Deborah Eckels: 2-Lot Subdivision, Parcel 19.00-1-32.3, Rt 28. The matter was tabled until the March 9 meeting pending receipt of information from DOT and County Planning.

New Business

  • K. Lambert/W. Wheatley (A. Bailey / Codes): Setback variance on Parcel 85.001-2-50, 10436 Dustin Road. A letter of support for the Wheatley’s request was submitted by neighbor, Margaret Peterson. However, the request was denied (A. Daktor/D. Ultsch) as it does not conform to requirements of Site Review Law. Owners will apply to the Town Board for a variance.
  • Ruben Treminio (A. Bailey): 2 Lot Subdivision on Parcel 50.000-1-22.6, River Road. More time was needed to prepare and Mr. Bailey requested that the item be tabled until next month. Done, on motion by G. Ritter/T. Tyler
  • T. Sunderlin – Red Rock Assoc., regarding White Lake Quarry. DEC/APA have approved the Quarry application, and the final step is to meet all Town requirements for operating a business within the Town.

It was noted that many of these requirements have already been laid out in the DEC Permit. and a list of the Town’s business requirements was provided to Mr. Sunderlin. Key points included
  • Signage
  • Maintenance of the road (the Town attorney will draft an agreement
  • regarding upkeep, improvements, damage, etc.) Mr. Sunderlin
