AND WHEREAS, the rezoning area is located near the south east corner of the intersection of Victor Road and Canandaigua Road in the Town of Macedon, Wayne County, New York, as further depicted on an engineering map prepared by Parrone Engineering titled “Map of Lands for Parkwood Heights P.U.D.

(a)  A substantial adverse change in existing air quality, ground or surface water quality or quantity, traffic or noise levels; a substantial increase in solid waste production; a substantial increase in potential for erosion, flooding, leaching or drainage problems;

(c)  The impairment of the environmental characteristics of a critical environmental area as designated pursuant to section 617.14 (g);

 

(d)  The creation of a material conflict with a community’s current plans or goals as officially approved or adopted;

 

(e)  The impairment of the character or quality of important historical, archeological, architectural, or aesthetic resources or of existing community or neighborhood character;

 

(f)  A major change in the use of either the quantity or type of energy;

 

(g)  The creation of a hazard to human health;

 

(h)  A substantial change in the use or intensity of use, of land including agricultural, open space or recreational resources or in its capacity to support existing uses;

(j)   The creation of material demand for other actions that would result in one or the above consequences;

 

(k)      Changes in two or more elements of the environment, no one of which has a significant impact on the environment, but when considered together result in a substantial adverse impact on the environment; or

 

(l)      Two or more related actions undertaken, funded or approved by an agency, none of which has or would have a significant impact on the environment, but when considered cumulatively would meet one or more of the criteria of this subdivision.

 

13.   For the purposes of determining whether an action may cause one of the consequences listed above, the Town Board considered reasonably related long-term, short-term, direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts, including other simultaneous or subsequent actions, which were;

(b)   Likely to be undertaken as a result thereof, or

 

(c)   Dependent thereon.

(b)   Its probability of occurrence;

(c)   Its duration;

(d)   Its irreversibility;

(e)   Its geographic scope;

It was the consensus of the Board that the Town could not mow the county roadsides for $188 per mile.  This amount does not factor in the cost of replacement, unemployment or benefits.  The county hires part-time employees for the summer while the Town uses full-time employees on the payroll.

 

Supervisor Hammond read the following resolution that passed the legislature committee in the county and will now go before the Board of Supervisors:

Be it resolved that the County of Wayne begin immediate considerations of changing its form of government from Board of Supervisors to County Legislature, and it is further

 

Resolved that this resolution shall be referred to the Legislature committee for study and recommendation back to the full board within 6 months, which report shall include the procedures to effect the change to county legislature and a legal opinion from the County Attorney addressing the relative compliance of the present form of government as opposed to a County Legislature with the then current State of law regarding due process and equal rights (one man – one vote).

 

Attorney Anthony Villani reviewed the Hillside Community Residence Application.

The statue states that if the Town is not satisfied with the response it can request an immediate hearing with the Commissioner.  Within 15 days of the letter you can submit more sites.  Hillside has applied for tax-exempt status with the Town Assessor.  On a $700,000 the taxes would be $14,000 per year.

Holly Waye suggested two alternative sites, one of which was recently listed.

In a letter dated December 20, 2005 Thomas A. Maul, Commissioner of the State of New York Office Of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities.  Commissioner Maul states:

 

 “The Office of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities and each of its provider agencies must closely adhere to cost guidelines whenever a residence is established.  These guidelines, promulgated by the NYS Division of the Budget, require that close attention be paid to the acquisition and renovation costs of any potential home, as well as to the operating costs to provide the services and supports needed by all individuals residing in the home.

 

As you referenced in your letter, Hillside is mandated to work with each local municipality whenever it seeks to establish a group living residence.  This process includes formal notification of the intent to establish a home at a specific location, the opportunity for the municipality to hold a public hearing, the opportunity for the municipality to offer alternative sites for a home, and lastly, the option of objecting to a home via a formal hearing process.  The law is Clear that municipalities must be actively involved in an agency’s efforts to establish a home for persons with developmental disabilities.”

 

A letter dated January 12, 2006 from Assemblyman Robert Oaks thanked David Landon for making him aware of the concerns about the proposed location of a new Hillside Children’s Center.  Assemblyman Oaks forwarded the concerns on to Thomas Maul, Commissioner of the NYS Office of Mental Retardation and Development Disabilities.

 

RESOLUTION NO. 86 (06)  HILLSIDE ALTERNATE LOCATION/HEARING

RESOLVED that the Town send Hillside the information on the Canandaigua Road house suggesting the alternative site and in view of the inability of the Town and Hillside to agree on an alternate site, request a hearing by the Commissioner.
