Town Board
OCTOBER 14, 2009
A regular meeting of the Jewett Town Board was held on Wednesday, October 14, 2009. Deputy Supervisor JR Quackenbush opened the meeting at 7 PM. Present were Board members Steve Jacobs and Michael McCrary, Superintendent of Highways Robert Mallory and Attorney for the Town Tal G. Rappleyea arriving at 7:30P.M.
In the audience were Sal and Sophie Roscoe, Werner and Helga Pscherer, Louise Hughes, Deirdre and Peter Cunningham, Paul Rosedale, William Trach, Maryann Romito and Nan Stolzenburg, newspaper reporter Mike Ryan and the town clerk. Absent were Supervisor Michael Flaherty and Board member Elaine Warfield.
The Public Hearing was delayed until the arrival of Attorney Rappleyea.
Councilman McCrary made a motion, 2nd by Councilman Jacobs and carried to accept the minutes of the September 9, 2009 regular meeting.
The Supervisor’s monthly financial report was given to the Board prior to the meeting.
Written monthly reports were received from the Building Inspector and the Zoning Officer.
Councilman McCrary made a motion, 2nd by Councilman Quackenbush and carried giving permission to the Superintendent to purchase a new sander for the new truck at a cost of $7,450.
The Superintendent is getting two bids on a new overhead door in the highway garage.
Councilman McCrary made a motion, 2nd by Councilman Jacobs and carried giving permission to the Superintendent to spend up to $1,500 on a door for the 1 ton bay in the highway garage.
Paul Rosedale addressed the Board with a concern about accidents where Butternut Lane intersects with County Route 17. He said, “This is a dangerous situation and I would like to have Butternut Lane be made a one way road temporarily. There is a blind spot when someone is pulling out from Butternut onto 17.”
Superintendent Mallory, “ I’ve spoken to Paul Rosedale and I met today with the Greene County Engineer Bill Stein, NYSDOT Engineer Reed Sholtez and property owner Marvin Seligman. I called Alice Kerry from the DEP because they’re in contract for buying the property where the intersection comes down. DOT gave me their seal of approval to move the intersection up approximately 210 feet. I spoke with Larry Gardner who is Mr. Seligman’s Attorney. Everyone has approved moving the intersection up 210 feet. DEP said they will look into giving us an easement. The cost will be minimal and hopefully this can be taken care of within a week or two.”
Nan Stolzenburg gave an update on the storm water study. The study looks at the impact of likely growth and development in the town in the future the environment and water quality in particular. The study is in coordinated with the existing Stream Management Plan. The study looks at the important resources and water quality and how the town might be impacted by future development and what the town can do to mitigate the potential impacts?
Ms. Stolzenburg is working to have a draft ready for the Board by the end of November.
The Public Hearing on Local Law #4 of 2009 was opened at 7:46 P.M. This is a Local Law Imposing a Temporary Six Month Moratorium on the Approval of Construction of Wind Turbines.
The following from the public addressed the Board:
Deirdre Cunningham, “I’m glad there’s been some action taken. With a six month moratorium if you don’t have something in place what happens after that time?”
Attorney Rappleyea, “One of two things either the board could extend that moratorium for another 3 or 6 months or simply let it expire and continue its work. If their close enough to having a law in place that they’re ready to pass they can simply let it expire. If there’s still more substantial work to be done they may consider extending it. The Board is very committed. The discussion even last month was that they wanted to make sure that this law could be repealed even short of the six months if and when they get that law up and running.”
Councilman Quackenbush, “Our goal is to have zoning and planning board members and town board members meet at the end of this month and try to do it as quickly as we can. Our goal is to try and have it done by the end of this year.”
Ms. Cunningham, “I also noticed the moratorium failed to exclude meteorological towers. That would be your wind measurement. Being that the moratorium is silent on this does that mean that someone could put up a wind measurement tower?”
Attorney Rappleyea, “ Because we don’t specifically mention that, as long as it is not going to be utilized to produce energy then the moratorium probably would not apply to them. We do have a maximum size on structures. Primarily it’s aimed at building and things like that but it’s still a structure so someone would still have to come in and get an area variance.”
Ms. Cunningham, “I would like to volunteer to help put something in place. I’d like to commend you for doing something.”
Tal, “The review under the State Environmental Quality Review Act for the implementation moratorium is exempt.”
The Public Hearing was closed at 7:57 P.M. on a motion by Councilman Quackenbush, 2nd by Councilman McCrary and carried.
Deputy Supervisor Quackenbush made a motion, 2nd by Councilman McCrary and carried to adopt Local Law #4 of 2009. The Law reads:

Planning Board Minutes
TOWN OF JEWETT
PLANNING BOARD
MINUTES
OCTOBER 1, 2009
Agenda Item 1: The meeting was called to order at 7:20 pm.
Roll Call: Acting Chair: Janet Nicholls
Members: Gene Beers, Donna Bernard; Absent: Joan Kutcher, Carol Muth
Agenda Item 2: Approval of Minutes for September 3, 2009.
Mrs. Nicholls called for the motion to accept the minutes. Mr. Beers noted two corrections, which were made. Ms. Bernard made the motion to accept the minutes as corrected; this was seconded by Mr. Beers, and approved by all present.
Agenda Item 3: Margaret Fromm with Sketch Plan Review for Minor Subdivision for property located 293 Carl Road, Jewett, NY 12444: Rural Residential Zoning District, Tax Map No. 111.00-2-49.
Mrs. Fromm's new maps had arrived and were spread for Planning Board review. The Town of Jewett Zoning requirement for Rural Residential acreage calls for a minimum parcel size of two and a half (2.5) acres. This creates an awkward division of Mrs. Fromm's property across half of a hay field behind her house. The small acreage she wishes to sell is relatively secluded by itself, does not disrupt her view, and is all her current tenants really wish to buy. She asked the PB again this month whether a variance would be possible, but Mr. Beers explained to her that the PB must work within the precepts of the law. However, Mr. Ewald Schwarzenegger of Kaaterskill Engineering, who was present for another case, said that he has seen similar cases resolved with an easement that could be set up legally to allow her to continue to use her property for farming purposes. Such an easement could either be written into perpetuity or set up to dissolve when or if she and her husband choose to sell their farm. Mrs. Fromm also has aesthetic concerns such as her wish that a stand of Blue Spruce trees she established there with her husband not be cut down. These are aesthetic matters for the lawyers to work out in contract and not for the PB, but they can be resolved.
Everything necessary seems to be illustrated on her maps. There is one well illustrated by the farm house that has not been in use for years as it was too close to the septic and the water tasted bad; they drilled a new well that is closer to the pond. This well is shared by the farm house and the small cottage Ms. Fromm wishes to sell. Mr. Beers explained to her that in order for the Planning Board to approve a subdivision it would require the buyers to drill a new well for their own use. This well would need to be one hundred feet (100') away from the septic system, because this land is fairly flat. If the land had been hilly, the required distance would have been two hundred feet (200'). Each home already has its own septic system.
Ms. Bernard summarized that Mrs. Fromm is facing three issues: that her buyers agree to the easement, that they drill their own well, and that they keep the Blue Spruce stand in place. Mrs. Fromm said this sale is made necessary by hardship, and wondered if the well issue couldn't be dealt with later. She has not yet spoken to her buyers about this aspect of the sale. Mrs. Nicholls said the Planning Board must require the well to approve the subdivision. Mr. Beers said that if they want to put the house under contract sooner, the PB might approve the subdivision with the contingency that the well be drilled; the subdivision plat will not be signed until the contingency is met. Mrs. Fromm decided to talk to her buyers about these issues before she returns to the PB on November 5th, the night of next month's meeting.
Agenda Item 4: Mr. Robert Korosec representing Mr. James R. Mooney for property located at 810 Goshen Street, Jewett, NY; application for Subdivision Sketch Plan Review, Tax Map No. 112.00-1-2: Rural Residential District. Total acreage before subdivision approval is 55.02 acres. Intended subdivision is to result in a 6.31 and a 48.71 acre parcel.
Mr. Korosec was present with new maps. He had misunderstood, and sent out letters for a Public Hearing which the Planning Board had not agreed to last month. A neighbor had come in response to his letter. Ms. Laubmeier explained that the Planning Board had not scheduled a Public Hearing and Ms. Bernard explained that a Public Hearing could not be held without posting notification in the paper. Mr. Beers satisfied her questions as to where her land lay in relation to Mr. Mooney's through his knowledge of the topography of the town.
In keeping with the letter of previous meetings, Ms. Laubmeier read aloud the requirements for the Application of a Minor Subdivision for the Planning Board to note whether all conditions had been met. An easement will be extended along Mr. Mooney's existing driveway from Goshen Street for DEP access. However, Mr. Korosec explained, there will be clear access from the land of Fenimore immediately adjacent to Mr. Mooney's parcel. That land is also under contract to the DEP. The land is on a hillside up by an old cell tower. Certain private roadways came under question, but found to not relate to this case. Also noted by the PB is a small spring just across the boundary of the parcel that a neighbor, Mr. Rosenburg, has water rights to. The PB asked Mr. Korosec to provide paperwork for that, which he agreed to do. Mr. Beers noted that the PB could waive the PERC and DEP letters usually required for a subdivision application, as they are the buyers. The SEQR has been completed.
The Planning Board concluded that all conditions appeared to be met. Mr. Beers made the motion to accept the Application for Minor Subdivision with the contingency the papers concerning the water rights for Mr. Rosenburg are provided, and to move forward with the Public Hearing for November 5, 2009; it was seconded by Ms. Bernard and approved by all present. Ms. Laubmeier gave Mr. Korosec the Public Hearing information and explained the PB requirements for sign posting and notifying neighbors. This matter will be placed first on the Agenda for next month.
Subdivision question for Gail Scarey regarding the single family dwelling on the easterly side of a 2.75 acre parcel owned by Patricia and Wayne Koehler, Tax Map No. 112.00-3-37: Rural Residential Zoning District. The property lies off Goshen Street.
Mr. Schwarzenegger, who was present for Von Aweydon, asked whether his colleague, Christine Valachovic, representing Ms. Gail Scarey could speak first. Ms. Valachovic expressed surprise not to be on the agenda, saying that Attorney Anthony Bucca was supposed to have called. Ms. Scarey and her sister Ms. Kohler both have homes on a grandfathered parcel which Mr. Bucca had written the Planning Board about earlier in the year. At that time, the PB said it could not approve such a subdivision. Apparently the sisters do not get along and claim this as hardship. Since then, Ms. Valchovic said, they have been granted a judgment that their grandfathered parcel of land be split, granting each sister a house. She does not have a copy of this judgment. Mrs. Nicholls recalled that Ms. Kohler has been before the PB previously, but Ms. Laubmeier did not find anything pertaining to this case in her computer file of minutes dating from Mrs. Dwyer's time as secretary. Mrs. Nicholls said that Mrs. Koehler had previously tried to resolve these issues through the tax assessor. The question also arises whether this judgment transcends the law of the town.
Ms. Valachovic presented a map with Kaaterskill Engineering's (KE) proposed solution. The entire parcel is two and three quarters (2.75) acres which is not sufficient to subdivide legally according to Town of Jewett Zoning Law. Each home has its own well and septic system. The parcel does not lie within a hamlet. Mr. Swcharzenegger expressed his opinion that this could be resolved by an Area Variance by the Zoning Board of Appeals. Should this approach be considered, Ms. Scarey and her sister would need to go through the entire application process so that the ZBA would have the denial from the Planning Board to grant them the variance. The PB's suggestion to Ms. Valachovic was to appear again before the PB with a copy of the judgment given the sisters and an application for the PB's denial.
Agenda Item 5: Mr. Ewald Schwarzenegger for Von Aweydon, LLC of Acorn Drive, Jewett, NY; Application for Subdivision Sketch Plan Review, Tax Map No. 112.00-03-81.; Zoning District: Rural Residential. The original 133.97 acres are to be subdivided into four parcels of 3.995 acres, 4.852 acres, 6.708 acres, and 119.731 acres respectively.
Mr. Schwarzenegger of Kaaterskill Engineering (KE) was representing Mr. Peters tonight. There were really two issues to be resolved, and should have been set up separately on the agenda. These were the Boundary Lot Line Adjustment with neighbor Mr. Niebel, and the Application for a Major Subdivision. Mr. Schwarzenegger asked whether the Planning Board couldn't resolve both issues tonight to move forward on the Public Hearing.
Mr. Schwarzenegger paid the Boundary Lot Line Adjustment fee of $50. He offered to pay also the cost of the subdivision fee, but no one had followed up on contacting Mr. Rappleyea last month concerning what was actually due. Ms. Laubmeier is to take care of contacting Tal with this question.
The Planning Board decided that the map was in order. However, KE needs to acquire the signature of Mr. Niebel, and the Planning Board needs to receive copies of the old and new deed descriptions of the property change. In the interest of moving forward with a Public Hearing next month, Mr. Beers made the motion to accept the Boundary Lot Line Adjustment with the contingency of receiving Mr. Niebel's signature and the deed descriptions prior to Mrs. Kutcher signing the new maps. (The maps have been left in the PB mailbox). Mr. Schwarzenegger agreed to this. Ms. Bernard seconded Mr. Beers' motion. All who were present were in favor.
An interesting note that arose from discussion on the floor: Mr. Schwarzenegger has been present at Planning Board meetings of other towns for large projects where a Public Hearing is opened and left open for the duration of a case. While he said that this is a method adapted for large projects encouraging public involvement, it is also a way for a PB to avoid confining itself to the 60 day timeframe required by law once a Public Hearing is officially closed.
The Application for a Major Subdivision is still waiting for the DEP's storm water plan, Mr. Schwarzenegger said. The PERC files should be with the information from last year. Ms. Laubmeier will look for them. Ms. Bernard summarized that the SEQR had been given a Negative Declaration last month, then asked whether parcel #3 had been deeded the driveway as the Planning Board had recommended. Mr. Korosec reminded her that had been done last month on Mr. Elsom's plat. Mrs. Nicholls considered her notes from last year and wondered whether the entrance to the driveway should be moved for traffic safety. However, this is probably not necessary any more. Since the plans changed and there will be no major building project on the hillside with the DEP ownership, the PB does not have to consider traffic flow. The PB also considered that as the DEP is both the environmental water authority and prospective owner of the property, it could move forward on approving the subdivision application. Mr. Beers made the motion to approve the Application for Major Subdivision and move forward with a Public Hearing pending receiving the missing information within ten (10) days; the motion was seconded by Mrs. Nicholls and approved by all present.
Mr. Schwarzenegger was reminded that the Public Hearing for this case is contingent upon the Planning Board receiving the deed descriptions and Mr. Niebel's signature for the Boundary Lot Line Adjustment within ten (10) days of tonight's meeting. If the information is not received by Ms. Laubmeier within ten days after tonight's meeting, the PB will not move forward with a Public Hearing. He agreed. At that time Ms. Laubmeier will provide him with the materials for a Public Hearing. (Since the meeting, KE contacted Ms. Laubmeier saying they had not yet heard from DEP, and so would not hold the Public Hearing).
Agenda Item 6: Report from Greene County Planning Board Representative Gene Beers.
Mr. Beers reported that the Greene County Planning Board could not get a quorum due to illness.
Agenda Item 7: Report from Town Board liaison J.R. Quackenbush.
Mr. Quackenbush could not be present tonight.
Agenda Item 8: Other Business: Windmill Law.
Ms. Bernard provided the promised spreadsheet, which correlated data acted upon by the other towns for which she had received or researched information. This approach, she said, would make it easier to access the parameters the Town of Jewett will wish to consider when discussing its windmill law. The parameters are listed across the top and towns listed going down. She has included information from the Cunninghams about Coxsackie and Londonderry, NH windmill law. Ms. Bernard is most impressed with the information from the Town of Hunter people, but has not yet received any knowledge concerning the dates/times of town meetings to discuss their law. She would like to attend. She is still waiting for the promised computer stuff from Mr. Quackenbush, who continues to have download troubles. The proposed committee has not yet been formed from representatives from the Town and Planning Boards, but once all the information is in, Ms. Bernard said, the process should be simplified. It is a matter of putting the factors of height, decibels, fees, setbacks, insurance, performance bonds, and lawful process together. Jewett has the benefit of not being the first town in New York State to draft a Windmill Law, hence it has every opportunity to research what has worked for other towns and learn what has been a liability to therefore create a proactive and purposeful law that will serve the town with full consideration of its Comprehensive Plan. Mrs. Nicholls spoke of the windmill she has seen at the corner of Route 23A and Ohara Road in Haines Falls. It is very close to everything - road, homes, school buses, and people - within the Town of Hunter. The Planning Board wondered about enactment of the Hunter windmill law. Ms. Bernard said some towns keep things as simple as a Building Permit, some include the requirement to appear before their Planning Board, and still others want it to be subjected to SEQR and safety reviews.
Mrs. Nicholls made a point of saying on the record that she is appreciative of all the detail Ms. Laubmeier provides in the minutes as it makes the Planning Board process that much easier for its members. Members of the PB spoke of the gratitude they feel toward each other in what good teamwork they share.
The motion to adjourn the meeting was made by Mr. Beers, seconded by Ms. Bernard, and carried by all present. The meeting adjourned at 9:30 pm.
Respectfully,
Susan Laubmeier, Clerk
