Motion Passed 6-0
Public Hearings:
06-12-3 Paul Chiodo (3) Preliminary Plat - on Horseshoe Island Road, west side,
approximately 0.75 miles north of the Erie Canal (1 lot into 4 lots)
Hal Romans of Ianuzi and Romans, P.C. was present for the applicant.
The applicant is proposing to divide one 31.4 acre lot into four flag lots with a common driveway
on the west side of the Oneida River. Lot 2 would connect to the sanitary sewer the remaining
lots would have private septic. There is an existing 10" water main and the applicant is
proposing an additional 6" main for water service and fire protection. There was a lengthy
discussion regarding access and the wetlands to the north of the property. The applicant is also
proposing the addition of two hydrants.
Chairman Lepkowski stated that the Fire Marshall wants a 20' turn around that is unobstructed to
height of 13.5'. Chairman Lepkowski asked if the power lines would interfere. Mr. Romans
stated that the power lines were on the east side of the property.
Chairman Lepkowski stated that the Onondaga County Planning Board had recommended that
this board disapprove this project. Ron Detota stated that the concerns that the County had
outlined have been addressed.
Karen Guinip stated that the size of the lots would not make it undesirable as stated by the
County.
John Dougherty asked why the lots were such a strange shape, not rectangular. He also stated
that he had some concerns regarding access to boat docks. Mr. Romans indicated the lots were
designed to provide river front access.
James Sharpe asked how often the area flooded. Mr. Romans stated that the property flooded in
the spring especially the wetland area, but there are flood rights to cover this and the property to
the south is dry.
There was a discussion regarding a solution to road maintenance. Scott Chatfield suggested a
homeowners association or perhaps taxing the property for maintenance of common property.
Chairman Lepkowski asked if anyone had any questions.
Russ Mitchell stated that he was concerned with the environmental impact of this proposal.
Chairman Lepkowski stated that he would close the Public Hearing.
A Motion was made by James Sharpe, seconded by John Dougherty to adopt a resolution using
standard form #10 that the Preliminary Plat proposed by Paul Chiodo, dividing one lot into four
lots be declared a negative declaration as there appears to be no environmental impact which
could not be mitigated and does not involve any other agencies including the Federal
Government.
The reasons supporting this are as follows:
1. The property has been like this for 40 years.
2. The wetlands would be basically undisturbed.
3. The easement to the south side of the property would allow for development of
four lots.
4. The issues outlined by the Onondaga County Planning Board have been
addressed.
Motion Passed 6-0
A Motion was made by Allen Kovac, seconded by Bruce Johnson to adopt a resolution using
standard form #30, granting Preliminary Plat approval to Paul Chiodo for division of one lot into

1. Lot 2 will on the map to tie into the existing sewer system not Lot 1. The note on

a future 60' wide direct access connecting Dell Center Drive directly to VerPlank Road.

Mary Mackey would become landlocked. Scott Chatfield stated that this property was not legally
landlocked. A discussion ensued regarding access to the Mackey property and it was suggested

that there would need to be a plan for access to that parcel in the future.
