2: OLD BUSINESS:
Application for Land Separation – David & Tonya Stephens thru agent David Kent –
Parcels on Prole Road and Horseshoe Lake Road, TMP 1.-2-58.11 and 6.-1-60.2
Real Estate Agent David Kent came forward representing Mr. David Stephens and Tonya Stephens, regarding their Land Separation Application on Prole Road and Horseshoe Lake Road. The original application:
- There is no need to separate TMP 1.2-55.11 as the two proposed 5 acre parcels were purchased by the same owner,
- The Plan is to proceed with separation of tmp 6.-1-60.2 into two parcels.
.
.
.
- A 6+ acre parcel containing the house, barns and pond, and the remaining 24-acre parcel. An upgraded survey map will be provided for action at the September meeting.
- A number of adjacent landowners attended the meeting to object to the sale of TMP 6.11-62-124 as then felt that the purchasers of that parcel will utilize the land for agricultural purpose and that the runoff from that site will contaminate adjacent surface water and ground water supplies. The ‘Stephen’s had previously kept that land fallow
- Chairman VanAlst explained that TMP 6.-162.124 was not part of the land separation application and further that since the land was zoned Ag/Res zoning could not prevent normal agricultural activities on that property. It was suggested that the Town Board would be a more appropriate Board to bring these concerns to and possibly either the NYSDEC or the Dept of Ag. And Markets.
- Correspondence/Workshops/Reports/General Information:
