IV. Public Portion
1. Motion To: Open Public Portion
Grace Martin, from 52 Fieldstone Loop, asked about the senior part of the budget regarding the
Garden Club line item. The board stated that is unknown at this point but will be looking at it
later on.
Marcy Wagman, of 50 Old Troy Road, asked for an explanation of why a response to one person

Regular MeetingMinutesNovember 15, 2021
with 1.22 acres would change an entire zoning code that would affect over 300 acres. She went
through the Full Environmental Impact Assessment Form and argued that residential impact is
much Greater than commercial not less than commercial. She explained the impact to roads,
schools, traffic, community service, and other unintended consequences. She asked the board to
please think these things through before approving.
Supervisor Joe Ruggiero echoed the previous comments by Marcy Wagman. He explained the
history of the Conservation Commercial district and its use for non-residential development. He
understands the applicant's request to zone it back to commercial and why it was spot zoned back
then to accommodate the owner to rezone it to commercial. However, he said this law as is
being proposed is rezoning hundreds of acres to allow residential use in a commercial zone
allowing accessory apartments. He said that is a major impact. He said that he is becoming
increasingly concerned about the zoning changes that being put through.in recent years. He
explained that the boards role is to also protect our property values and the impact of these
zoning changes do have un-intended consequences and residential uses is not a benign use of
property. There are water needs, sewer needs, fertilizer runoffs, etc... He explained that the
Hughsonville gas station issue was about rolling back the distance between gas stations and
housing. He explained the MTBE leakage at the adjoining gas stations at Hopewell and Route 9
that polluted the development across route nine called Indian Village. He said recently there was
a zoning amendment that talked about go-karts, but was really about rezoning acres and acres of
properties from 1-2 acre zoning to R15 or Levittown sized lots. He stated that were
overdeveloping and getting out of proportion with the planning. He said this law is coming in
without the revision of the master plan and that this is not good planning and he asked the board
to rewrite the Resolution.
Supervisor Barbara Gutzler, from 5 Russert Lane, echoed the same comments that this is not a
good idea to change everything for the sake of one property. She said that this does not warrant
an entire reclassification of the CC zone for the benefit of one property. She addressed wetlands,
water issues, sewer issues and she urge the board to table it regarding the economic and
environmental impact.
Patrick Farley, the owner of the subject 1.22 acre property at 26 Myers Corners Road, came to
make the point that work from home is the way of the future. He has had the property up for sale
for a year with no interest.

Proposed Amendments
The proposed zoning amendments permit single family residences and their accessory uses in the
Conservation Commercial District and the addition of self-storage facilities as a specially permitted
use in the Conservation Office Park District.
Potential Impacts
The proposed amendments create no adverseenvironmental impacts.
The Conservation Commercial District has many existing single family residences and other
buildings that were constructed as single family residences and converted to commercial uses like
offices. Permitting single family residences within the district will not adversely impact the character
of the district and the adverse environmental impact of single family residences is less than that of the
other uses permitted in the CC District.
Commercial Warehouse Facilities are permitted in the Conservation Office Park District. Self-
storage warehouse facilities have less adverse environmental impacts than commercial warehouse
facilities and would not change the character of the zoning district.

Part 2 - Identification of Potential Project Impacts
Pdupcfs36-3132
Part 2 is to be completed by the lead agency. Part 2 is designed to help the lead agency inventory all potential resources that could
be affected by a proposed project or action. We recognize that the lead agency=s reviewer(s) will not necessarily be environmental
professionals. So, the questions are designed to walk a reviewer through the assessment process by providing a series of questions that
can be answered using the information found in Part 1. To further assist the lead agency in completing Part 2, the form identifies the
most relevant questions in Part 1 that will provide the information needed to answer the Part 2 question. When Part 2 is completed, the
lead agency will have identified the relevant environmental areas that may be impacted by the proposed activity.
If the lead agency is a state agency and the action is in any Coastal Area, complete the Coastal Assessment Form before proceeding
with this assessment.
Tips for completing Part 2:
Review all of the information provided in Part 1.
Review any application, maps, supporting materials and the Full EAF Workbook.
Answer each of the 18 questions in Part 2.
If you answer “Yes” to a numbered question, please complete all the questions that follow in that section.
If you answer “No” to a numbered question,move on to the next numbered question.
Check appropriate column to indicate the anticipated size of the impact.
Proposed projects that would exceed a numeric threshold contained in a question should result in the reviewing agency
checking the box “Moderate to large impact may occur.”
The reviewer is not expected to be an expert in environmental analysis.
If you are not sure or undecided about the size of an impact, it may help to review the sub-questions for the general
question and consult the workbook.
When answering a question consider all components of the proposed activity, that is, the A whole action @.
Consider the possibility for long-term and cumulative impacts as well as direct impacts.
Answer the question in a reasonable manner considering the scale and context of the project.

Full Environmental Assessment Form
Part 3 - Evaluation of the Magnitude and Importance of Project Impacts
and
Determination of Significance
Part 3 provides the reasons in support of the determination of significance. The lead agency must complete Part 3 for every question
in Part 2 where the impact has been identified as potentially moderate to large or where there is a need to explain why a particular
element of the proposed action will not, or may, result in a significant adverse environmental impact.
Based on the analysis in Part 3, the lead agency must decide whether to require an environmental impact statement to further assess
the proposed action or whether available information is sufficient for the lead agency to conclude that the proposed action will not
have a significant adverse environmental impact. By completing the certification on the next page, the lead agency can complete its
determination of significance.
Reasons Supporting This Determination:
To complete this section:
Identify the impact based on the Part 2 responses and describe its magnitude. Magnitude considers factors such as severity,
size or extent of an impact.
Assess the importance of the impact. Importance relates to the geographic scope, duration, probability of the impact
occurring, number of people affected by the impact and any additional environmental consequences if the impact were to
occur.
The assessment should take into consideration any design element or project changes.
Repeat this process for each Part 2 question where the impact has been identified as potentially moderate to large or where
there is a need to explain why a particular element of the proposed action will not, or may, result in a significant adverse
environmental impact.
Provide the reason(s) why the impact may, or will not, result in a significant adverse environmental impact
For Conditional Negative Declarations identify the specific condition(s) imposed that will modify the proposed action so that
no significant adverse environmental impacts will result.
Attach additional sheets, as needed.

3. Section 240-23 shall be amended to read as follows:
§ 240-23 Exterior lighting.
A. Intent and purpose. The intent and purpose of this section is to provide standards for
outdoor lighting in order to maintain and protect the scenic and aesthetic character of
the Town; to encourage conservation of energy while providing safety, utility and
security; to minimize glare; to avoid impacts on and to protect the privacy of nearby
residences; to reduce atmospheric light pollution; to ensure that development fits into
its surroundings rather than being superimposed upon the existing environment; and
to enhance the Town's nighttime ambience and character. The following standards
shall apply to all of the zoning districts in the Town.
B. All exterior lighting. All exterior lighting in connection with all buildings, signs or other
uses shall be directed away from adjoining streets and properties, and shall have
such shielding as will prevent unreasonable or not cause any objectionable glare
observable from such streets or properties.
C. ATM lighting. Unless accessory to a bank, all ATM banking machines shall be
installed indoors so that the New York State ATM Safety Act design requirements
shall not be applicable. The Planning Board remains responsible for ensuring that
outdoor ATM banking machines accessory to a bank do not cause glare or other
unwanted light spillage affecting residential areas and uses.
D. Hours of lighting. Hours of lighting may be limited by the Planning Board in acting on
any site development plan. All nonessential lighting shall be turned off after business
hours, leaving only the necessary lighting for site security, which shall be reduced to
the minimum level necessary. "Nonessential lighting" applies to display, aesthetic,
parking and sign lighting. Motion-sensor security lighting may be used to promote
safety and reduce the amount of night lighting in the Town, as determined by the
Planning Board.
E. Intensity of lighting. No use shall produce glare so as to cause illumination beyond
the property on which it is located in excess of 0.00.5 footcandles or lumens at the
property line. Parking lots shall have an average lighting level at or below one
footcandle. High-security areas shall have lighting levels of no more than five
footcandles, and two to five footcandles is the suitable range. Footcandle levels
greater that 5.0 are considered excessive and shall be avoided.
F. Pole heights. In all districts, the maximum pole height for any exterior light fixture
Formatted: Indent: Left: 0.5", Hanging: 0.5"
shall not exceed 15 feet as measured from the ground

G.Lighting plan specifications. A photometric lighting plan shall be provided for all
proposed lighting or for the retro-fitting of existing light fixtures with Light Emitting
Diode (LED) fixtures. The photometric plan shall provide specifications for all lighting
proposed. The color temperature of all LED lighting shall be 3,000 Kelvin (K) or less.
The lighting specifications shall also include Backlight, Uplight and Glare (BUG)
ratings for all proposed fixtures.
H. Adjustment of lighting levels. The Planning Board may require that dimmers be
umination of the site if the Zoning
Administrator finds that the site is not in compliance with its approved site plan and/or
is otherwise inconsistent with the intent, purposes or other standards of this section.
Formatted: Indent: Left: 0",First line: 0"
I. Gas stations. The standards contained in this section shall apply to all uses in the
Formatted: Indent: Left: 0.5", Hanging: 0.5"
Town, including gas stations. In approving a lighting plan for a gas station, the
Planning Board shall take into account the context of the gas station and its
relationship to all residential development which has a view of the gas stationin order
to reasonably minimize adverse visual impact of the gas station on said residential
development. The Planning Board shall also consider the type of road which the gas
station is located on (for example a highway versus a local road) when determining
the appropriate lighting level of the gas station.Island canopy ceiling fixtures shall be
recessed into the canopy ceiling so that the bottom of the fixture is flush with the
ceiling. Any illuminated part of the canopy other than the underside lighting shall be
considered to be part of the total amount of permitted site signage.
J. Prohibitions. The following forms of lighting are prohibited:
(1) Uplighting is prohibited, with the exception of flags, as defined herein. Formatted: Font color: Auto

cases where the Planning Board determines that better site design or safety can be
achieved with lighting that does not comply with Section said section.

240-96.F of this article. Also in the case of reserved spaces, electrical wiring shall be
installed at the time of the initial improvement of the parking area for the eventual
installation of the charging stations. In the case of an existing parking area where an
area for charging stations has not been previously approved, the installation of
charging stations shall only be permitted if the number of parking and loading spaces
required by this article can be provided in addition to the spaces allotted for the
charging stations. The spaces allocated for charging stations shall be clearly

(2) In the nonresidential zoning districts the Planning Board may allow a fence in
excess of six feet but not exceeding 12 feet above adjoining grade, provided
that the Board finds such fence necessary and appropriate for safety and/or
security purposes. Any fence exceeding six feet in height shall be designed
by a licensed professional engineer, architect or landscape architect. A
building permit shall be required for the construction of such fence, and a
certificate of compliance or certificate of occupancy, as applicable, shall be
issued upon completion of the fence and submission to the Town of a

Part 2 is to be completed by the lead agency. Part 2 is designed to help the lead agency inventory all potential resources that could
be affected by a proposed project or action. We recognize that the lead agency=s reviewer(s) will not necessarily be environmental
professionals. So, the questions are designed to walk a reviewer through the assessment process by providing a series of questions that
can be answered using the information found in Part 1. To further assist the lead agency in completing Part 2, the form identifies the
most relevant questions in Part 1 that will provide the information needed to answer the Part 2 question. When Part 2 is completed, the
lead agency will have identified the relevant environmental areas that may be impacted by the proposed activity.
If the lead agency is a state agency and the action is in any Coastal Area, complete the Coastal Assessment Form before proceeding
with this assessment.
Tips for completing Part 2:
Review all of the information provided in Part 1.
Review any application, maps, supporting materials and the Full EAF Workbook.
Answer each of the 18 questions in Part 2.
If you answer “Yes” to a numbered question, please complete all the questions that follow in that section.
If you answer “No” to a numbered question,move on to the next numbered question.
Check appropriate column to indicate the anticipated size of the impact.
Proposed projects that would exceed a numeric threshold contained in a question should result in the reviewing agency
checking the box “Moderate to large impact may occur.”
The reviewer is not expected to be an expert in environmental analysis.
If you are not sure or undecided about the size of an impact, it may help to review the sub-questions for the general
question and consult the workbook.
When answering a question consider all components of the proposed activity, that is, the A whole action @.
Consider the possibility for long-term and cumulative impacts as well as direct impacts.
Answer the question in a reasonable manner considering the scale and context of the project.

Full Environmental Assessment Form
Part 3 - Evaluation of the Magnitude and Importance of Project Impacts
and
Determination of Significance
Part 3 provides the reasons in support of the determination of significance. The lead agency must complete Part 3 for every question
in Part 2 where the impact has been identified as potentially moderate to large or where there is a need to explain why a particular
element of the proposed action will not, or may, result in a significant adverse environmental impact.
Based on the analysis in Part 3, the lead agency must decide whether to require an environmental impact statement to further assess
the proposed action or whether available information is sufficient for the lead agency to conclude that the proposed action will not
have a significant adverse environmental impact. By completing the certification on the next page, the lead agency can complete its
determination of significance.
Reasons Supporting This Determination:
To complete this section:
Identify the impact based on the Part 2 responses and describe its magnitude. Magnitude considers factors such as severity,
size or extent of an impact.
Assess the importance of the impact. Importance relates to the geographic scope, duration, probability of the impact
occurring, number of people affected by the impact and any additional environmental consequences if the impact were to
occur.
The assessment should take into consideration any design element or project changes.
Repeat this process for each Part 2 question where the impact has been identified as potentially moderate to large or where
there is a need to explain why a particular element of the proposed action will not, or may, result in a significant adverse
environmental impact.
Provide the reason(s) why the impact may, or will not, result in a significant adverse environmental impact
For Conditional Negative Declarations identify the specific condition(s) imposed that will modify the proposed action so that
