Variances are needed for front yard, side yard, and lake side setbacks. Project located in the hamlet of Woodville at 7099 SR 21 in the Town of South Bristol. The surface of the entire 0.496ac lakefront portion of the parcel is either pavement or building. The 0.449ac upland portion of the lot is comprised of significant steep slopes and exposed bedrock. The existing structure has minimal setbacks from State Route 21 and the lakeshore. The proposed new metal pole barn will be located at the south end of the lakefront portion, over an existing paved area. It will have similar setbacks to the lakeshore and State Route 21 as the existing. The south lot line setback will be reduced to 1. According to ONCOR: There are no State and Federal wetlands present on the property, but the parcel is located along Canandaigua Lake. The parcel is not located within a FEMA floodplain. The property is not located within 500ft of an Agricultural District. COMMENTS 1) Given how close the proposed structure is to buildings on the adjoining property, the Town should be sure that the proposed location and type of construction complies with NYS Building Code fire separation requirements. 2) The referring board is encouraged to have DEC comment on the potential impacts the demolition of the existing building will have on the lake, given the close proximity. 3) In addition to the comments listed above, the referring board is encouraged to grant the minimum variance necessary Town of South Bristol Zoning Board of Appeals Class: 2 Referral Type: Area Variance Hiller, Michael Property Owner: Canandaigua Marina LLC Tax Map No(s): Brief Description: Site Plan and Area Variance request to demolish a two-story customer service facility and build a one-story facility.

3 The Phelps Planning Board is also reviewing other improvements to the exterior including a new roof, siding, lighting, landscaping and signage. Site access (a single curb cut onto State Rt 96) and parking will remain the same Town of Naples Town Board Class: 2 Referral Type: Brief Description: Text Amendment Town of Naples Text Amendment to amend regulations pertaining to the Industrial District. The Town is proposing adoption of a floating zone to allow establishment of light industrial uses of less than 26 employees. Retail sale of products manufactured on site is also allowed. A floating zone is a zone district that is defined in the Zoning Code but applied on a case by case basis as proposals are made by landowners. This can occur anywhere in the Town with a zoning map amendment by the Town Board. Once the property is rezoned a special use permit and site plan approval from the Planning Board are also needed. No additional special use permit criteria are proposed though the law does include additional requirements for buffering from non-light industrial uses. The other general standards require compliance with the Town Master Plan and reducing impacts on adjoining land uses. COMMENTS: 1. The law lists Light Industrial both as a principal permitted and specially permitted use. For clarity, it s recommended that Light Industrial be listed only as a specially permitted use. ( part B). 2. Even though it allows retail sales, customer parking is not allowed as an accessory use. Is this intentional?

It is feet from County Road #42 and feet from Fishers Run. Section211-3B(2) states that enlargement of a nonconforming structure is prohibited. Schedule II, Area and Height Requirements, requires an 80 foot setback on all road frontages. The proposed addition on the east side of the existing building is to be 46.5 feet from County Rd. #42 and feet from Fishers Run. Schedule II, Area and Height Requirements, requires an 80 foot setback on all road frontages. The proposed addition on the north side of the existing building is to be feet from County Rd. #42 and 20 feet from Fishers Run. Schedule II, Area and Height Requirements, requires an 80 foot setback on all road frontages. The proposed new building in the north is to be 14.5 feet from Fishers Run.

Variances needed for setback and lot coverage. Project is located at 5220 Long Point Rd. in the Town of Gorham. Policy AR-5: Applications involving one single family residential site, including home occupations. The intent of this policy is to: - Address residential development that may infringe on County ROW s or easements for roads and other infrastructure. - Address traffic safety along intermunicipal corridors by encouraging proper placement of residential driveways along County roads. - Address impacts to ground and surface waters B. The following applies to all development on parcels with lake frontage that require; variances pertaining to lot coverage or, variances pertaining to side yard setbacks or, variance pertaining to lake shore setbacks The CPB s role of reviewing and making recommendations on county wide development has provided a unique perspective on the trend of more intensive development and use of lakefront lots. Of particular concern are the incremental negative impacts to water quality and the character of our lakefront neighborhoods. The following policy is a result of discussion and debate spanning 18 months as well as consultation with outside agencies directly involved with water quality issues in Ontario County. The intent is to address over development of lakefront lots and support the clearly stated interest by local decision makers to do the same. Final Classification: 2 Findings: 1. Protection of water features is a stated goal of the CPB. 2. The Finger Lakes are an indispensable part of the quality of life in Ontario County. 3. Increases in impervious surface lead to increased runoff and pollution. 4. Runoff from lakefront development is more likely to impact water quality. 5. It is the position of this Board that the legislative bodies of lakefront communities have enacted setbacks and limits on lot coverage that allow reasonable use of lakefront properties. 6. Protection of community character, as it relates to tourism, is a goal of the CPB. 7. It is the position of this Board that numerous variances can allow over development of properties in a way that negatively affects public enjoyment of the Finger Lakes and overall community character. 8. It is the position of this Board that such incremental impacts have a cumulative impact that is of countywide and intermunicipal significance. Final Recommendation: Denial ONTARIO COUNTY PLANNING DEPARTMENT 20 ONTARIO ST. CANANDAIGUA, NY

General Procedures ONTARIO COUNTY PLANNING DEPARTMENT 20 ONTARIO ST. CANANDAIGUA, NY

13 The Ontario County Planning Board meets once each month to review referred local actions for intermunicipal and countywide impacts. They are separated into two categories: Class 1 & Class 2. Class 1s are applications that the CPB has formally decided have little potential intermunicipal or countywide impact. For Class 2 applications, the CPB has determined that there will be potential impacts before voting to approve, modify or deny. Legal Obligations for Referring Agencies Class 1: If an application has been returned to the referring agency as a Class I, then the only requirement is that they consider any Board comments forwarded to them by the CPB. Referring agencies are asked to read any Board Comments into the minutes of a meeting or hearing held for the subject application. Class 2: If the CPB has voted to deny or modify a referred application then the local board needs a majority plus one vote of their full board to act contrary to that decision. CPB approvals without modification require no extraordinary local action. However, in all cases, the referring agency is still required to consider CPB comments as they would for Class 1 applications. Incomplete Applications Referrals need to meet the definition of full statement of such proposed action in NYS General Municipal Law. The CPB s determination regarding the completeness of a particular application is supported by factual findings and is made, whenever practical, after consulting with the submitting official or the chairs of referring agencies. The CPB will not make a recommendation on an application that they have determined to be incomplete. NYS General Municipal Law, Article 12-b Section 239-m I Reporting back to the CPB Report of final action Within thirty days after final action, the referring body shall file a report of the final action it has taken with the county planning agency or regional planning council. A referring body which acts contrary to a recommendation of modification or disapproval of a proposed action shall set forth the reasons for the contrary action in such report. NYS General Municipal Law, Article 12-b Section 239-m, Part 6. Administrative Reviews The Ontario County Planning Department prepares administrative reviews of referrals as authorized, in accordance with the CPB bylaws.
