Mr.
Corrado and Ms. Monell approached the board and distributed a handout with
their intended proposal. Mr. Corrado expressed that he would like to seek a
variance based off of Town of Brutus (TOB) code §108-39 Variances. Chairman
Ostrowski advised that Mr. Corrado would need to go back to ZBA to achieve
this. Mr. Corrado advised he has been to ZBA and was directed to Planning Board
for a sub-division. Chairman Ostrowski explained that typically the proper
procedure when proposing to put another resident on a piece of property that
already has an existing structure on it is to sub-divide the property, also
advising that Mr. Corrado can still submit his proposal to sub-divide the
property leaving the decision to the board to make sure the lot conforms to code
(200 foot road frontage; at least 1.148 acres or 50,000 sq foot of property)
and each piece of the subdivided property must follow the requirements. The
property is listed under Corrado Family LP and will need a representation
letter on file, an application along with a $75 fee will also need to be
collected.
Member Barwinczok motioned to declare
this a proposed sub-division. Member Sweet
seconded the motion. VOTE: 7 ayes; 0
nays. Carried
The
board made suggestions to Mr. Corrado on the original drawing so that it would
not be as much of an odd lot as the original one presented. The recommended lot
was more like an “L” shaped lot. Chairman Ostrowski stated a public Hearing
will be scheduled for the 2.22.17 Planning Board meeting in order to hear input
from the public. Board members were in a consensus on the recommended drawing
Member Gross motioned to advise Mr.
Corrado to proceed with the "L" shaped subdivision. Member Barwinczok seconded the motion. VOTE:
7 ayes; 0 nays. Carried. Clerk Murray will draft up a letter for Mr. Corrado
with board recommendations. 8:00 Mr.
Corrado and Ms. Monell left the meeting.
