Andy Busa – Property Boundary Modification

Andy Busa appeared before the Board this evening to discuss a property boundary modification for property he owns on Jay Street. One parcel is vacant land (approximately 4.469 acres) and the second is a parcel with a house (approximately .359 acres) located on it (115 Jay Street), both he purchased in 2015. The house faces Jay Street. The property is located in a low density residential zone. The modification of the boundaries is cited in Chapter 125-7D of the Code, no County referral is required and the Board can waive any and all requirements. This change can be done by the Planning Board as long as there are no utilities impacted or disturbed. Mr. Busa stated he will not be creating a non-conforming lot (s); in fact, he commented that with the addition of land to the property at 115 Jay Street, it will more conforming at the front, due to triangular piece of land on the vacant land that juts into the front yard of 115. He believes, based on what previous owners commented on that this could have been caused when the road was put in and boundaries were changed when that happened. Mr. Busa completed a short form SEQR for this requested modification. The Board members reviewed the form and discussed the requested modification with the Board. Upon the motion made Scott Pellman, seconded by Joyce Newkirk, the Board declares this to be an Unlisted action with a negative declaration for purposes of SEQR, for the lot enlargement at 115 Jay Street, and the property decrease for the vacant land owned by Andy Busa, subject to the filing of a re-combined deed and updated abstract for the properties involved. All members present voting in favor. Counsel Bell instructed Mr. Busa that he will need to get in touch with his attorney and engineer to have the appropriate paperwork completed for the mapping, deed, and abstract update.
