Historically, high water from Buffalo Creek has made West Seneca’s
Lexington Green community prone to flooding. This federal funding will
be used by Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper to provide analysis, field study,

The goal of the project is to mitigate flooding, improve resiliency

Another option now could be the use of funds from the American Rescue
Plan, although much of that money is already earmarked for sewer and
drainage upgrades that should help the situation.
Also, a National Fuel high-pressure gas line parallels the temporary berm
and in some places is located directly below it.
National Fuel has said it would like to see the berm removed, although
Dickson said they have reached some kind of agreement on the matter.
“The temporary berm that was installed at Lexington Green in 2014 has
done a good job with preventing a couple of flood events and ensured that
last night’s flood was not worse,” Dickson said Friday on Facebook. “As I
understand it, the creek rose several times before it finally rose high
enough to flood. Without it the flooding could have been closer to the
2014 event, minus the huge chunks of ice.”

The best way to alleviate the flooding issues in the Lexington Green
neighborhood is to reconnect Buffalo Creek to its original floodplain in a
nature-based strategy, the West Seneca Town Board was told in a
presentation Monday evening.
“Our next step is to identify parcels along the creek corridor to make them
more of a naturalized area,” Winkler said. “The hard part is really going to
be reaching out to the property owners and convincing them to either put
an easement on their property or sell their property. Then we run all the
models to make sure it alleviates enough flooding in that area. It’s about
identifying parcels that could have enough capacity to alleviate the amount
of flooding in the Lexington Green neighborhood. The creek is going to
flood, one way or another – we just don’t want it on peoples’ properties.
We want it somewhere else. The ideal properties would be the Canisius
area on the other side of the creek.”
The town has brought these flooding issues to the attention of the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers in the past, and again last month after the latest
round of flooding – but the ACE has declined to take action on the matter.

One thing that everyone agreed on was that the situation got much worse
after Canisius High School built an athletic complex in 2014 on the other
side of the creek across from Lexington.
“I’ve talked to other neighbors who were there when the ’14 flood
happened and they said it wasn’t an issue until Canisius built their football
field and whatever they leveled out they pushed toward the berm,” said
Collin Brown, who also lives at 123 Lexington.

“The new stormwater pond should do a better job of collecting the water
instead of just letting it go into the creek,” Tanner said. “That will help the
discharge.”
Finally, the town is looking into grant money from FEMA to get
Lexington its own drainage system and pumping station instead of having
it connected to other streets, as it is now. That would increase the volume
and concentrate the drainage.
“It doesn’t seem like there’s anything permanent,” Collin Brown said.
“It’s like a waiting game. So how long do we wait? We’ve waited five
years, and some of these other people have been waiting a lot longer than
that.”

185. At each stage of the development of these athletic fields Respondents knowingly glossed
over the plans for future development of various parts of the entire development plan in
order to reduce the environmental scrutiny that would be required under SEQRA
186. According to the April 8, 2021, Minutes of Respondent Planning Board, Mark Gaston,
District Field Engineer with Erie County Soil and Water Conservation District stated:
This area has had activity over the years that raises concerns. In
2014 there was a large ice jam flooding event that occurred, as a
result, ice damage has not been addressed; fences, turf grass and
dugouts open the site up to potentially severe maintenance issues.
following the 2014 flood event, a temporary berm was placed and,
built to protect the Lexington Green area. The flood plain data shows
a significant amount of 100-year flood plain that essentially goes
into that area and was cut off. Without running an analysis to gage
the 100-year storm event and the impacts of the berm, you can not
say for certain this will not influence the 100-year flood plain
elevation.
This is a correct use for this area, but the area has many concerns.
This area has been discussed by former Town Officials regarding the
climate resiliency and ice jam issues/concerns. A report was
generated and shared, and ways were sought to resolve ice jam
flooding in the Lexington Green area. This project would potentially
nix one of the design alternatives.

100-A Residential (Exhibit “4” - Part 1 section C.3.a). The permitted principle and
accessory uses for this property is defined in West Seneca Town Code § 120-17.
245. The only permitted principle purpose that comes close to the proposed use in this case is
set forth in West Seneca Town Code § 120-17(A)(5): “Commercial picnic grove, provided
that no amusement devices shall be permitted other than customary playground apparatus.”

APPEAL NO 2007-051
DECISION
It is the decision of the West Seneca Zoning Board of Appeals that the Building
Inspector, William Czuprynski, properly issued a building permit to Canisius High
School. Section 120-17 of the West Seneca Town Code permits school uses in property
zoned R-100A by private, non-profit elementary or secondary schools accredited by the
New York State Department of Education.
This decision was made after considering a number of factors. First, a public
hearing was properly held on July 25, 2007 at the regularly scheduled monthly Zoning
Board of Appeals meeting. At the public hearing testimony was presented by the
Appellant, Donald Grasso, representatives of Canisius High School and members of the
public. Secord, the Board reviewed the documents presented at the public hearing by
Mr. Grasso and Canisius High School. Finally, the Board reviewed a number of New
York State Court Cases directly related to the application of local zoning ordinances to
school or educational uses.
Finally, the case history supports the determination made by the Building
Inspector when the building permit was issued. There are a number of New York State
Court cases which hold that school uses and religious uses enjoy a special treatment as to
residential zoning ordinances. The Court has allowed schools and religious institutions to
expand its uses in a residentially zoned neighborhood where other non conforming uses
would not be allowed. These cases are based on the fact that schools by their very nature
further public'health, welfare, morals and safety. In effort to keep this decision brief a
list of cases rdlied upon is attached hereto and made a part herof.

A request from Brad Vaillancourt c/o Canisius High School for site plan approval for property located at 2885
Clinton Street for construction of an athletic complex with all related site improvements.
Chairman Rathmann stated a letter was received from the Town Engineer stating there were certain issues with
the flood plain and detention basin preventing his approval.
Mr. Vaillancourt stated Canisius High School has an athletic field complex that was originally designed in 2007
for lacrosse and soccer with a track. The second phase of construction was for buildings with locker rooms and
concession stands. The current request is the third phase of the project which includes construction of an all-
synthetic varsity liaseball field, and JV baseball field with the infield being synthetic turf. The fields would be
fenced in with dugouts including a locker room/storage facility and an elevated press box. The existing parking
on the site would remain.
Peter Gian, a Landscape Architecture, and site-consultant for the project stated this is a sensitive area for flooding
and a portion of the JV outfield is pushed into the existing flood plain. To mitigate that, more area is being
carved out for flood volume to expand into. The goal is to have more flood volume on the site than is currently
there. Water will not be pushed downstream but absorbed to mitigate downstream. Some conversations were
held with the Town Engineer; adjustments will be made to work through the issues contained in the letter from
the Town Engineer. A concept that is acceptable to the Town Engineer is in the works, the logistics must still
be worked out and scrutinized. The project would remove the storm volume from the flood plain and into in the
basin that is being created. The 100-year storm will be contained in the basin and the flood volume will be
contained outside of that.
Matthew Carver, Vice President and CFO of Canisius High School, thanked the Planning Board for their
consideration of the project; small details are still being worked out with the Town Engineer. This project brings
Canisius High School's vision full circle and creates a home for the students. This has been a great partnership
in the past with the Town of West Seneca.
Mark District Field Engineer with Erie Soil and Water Conservation presented the Planning Board
Gaston, County

agreeable. This area has had activity over the years that raises concerns. In 2014 there was a large ice jam
flooding event that occurred, as a result, ice damage has not been addressed; fences, turf grass and dugouts
open the site up to potentially severe maintenance issues. Following the 2014 flood event, a temporary berm
was placed and.built to protect the Lexington Green area. The flood plain data shows a significant amount of
100-year flood plain that essentially goes into that area and was cut off. Without running an analysis to gage
the 100-year storm event and the impacts of the berm, you can not say for certain this will not influence the
100-year flood plain elevation.
The Erie Wyoming Joint Watershed Board was formed to implement a number of stream works throughout the
Buffalo Creek to reduce sedimentation along the Buffalo Harbor. The Erie Wyoming Joint Watershed Board has
permanent easements along 57 linear miles of Buffalo waters. This site has the oxbow due to a stream
realignment project; damns were constructed and have a permanent easement for maintenance and operation;
none of the documents have this information included. A particular concern is the cell-
planning surging
structure; the town was involved in a wrongful death lawsuit that is still under litigation. Increasing access to
children in that area is a grave safety concern and should be addressed/referenced.
This is a correct use for this area, but the area has many concerns. This area has been discussed by former
Town Officials regarding the climate resiliency and ice jam issues/concerns. A report was generated and shared,
and ways were sought to resolve ice jam flooding in the Lexington Green area. This project would potentially
nix one of the design alternatives.
Mr. McCabe stated the reports submitted were US Army Corps of Engineers Buffalo District - Lexington Green
P2443918 §205 of the 1948 Flood Control Act Flood Risk Management (dated 5/24/2016) and Resilient New
York Flood Mitigation Initiative, Buffalo Creek New York prepared by OBG, Part of Ramboll,101 First Street, 4th
Floor, Utica, NY 13501. Copies of the reports were provided to the applicant.
Chairman Rathmann statèd there are few areas on site with clumps of trees and requested a tree survey along
with a plan showing the old and new flood plain.

A request from Daniele Family Companies for a rezoning and special permit for property located at 1465 Union
Road, 1471 Union Road, and 789 Center Road, being part of Lot No. 192 changing its classification from C-1
Ari Goldberg f om the law firm of Barclay Damon, presented on behalf of the applicant. Mr. Goldberg stated Mr.
Daniele is seeking a rezoning and special permit and would be the first step in construction of a Royal Car Wash
Facility. All the properties are currently zoned commercial with Center Road being C-2 with another special use
permit.
The site is along Union Road and part of the town's existing commercial corridor. The plan minimizes neighbor
intrusion, consolidates curb cuts along Union Road, and allows for sufficient stacking for car wash use along with
safe ingress and egress. The site plan works for car wash design and the properties are appropriate for rezoning.
Mr. McCabe referred to the authorization that was submitted and references 150 Fremont Avenue, yet the plans
do not include 150 Fremont Avenue. Anthony Daniele, partial owner of Royal Car Wash, stated the residential
lot on Freemont is part of the purchase, as development plans were worked out, the site plan no longer includes
150 Freemont Avenue. The intent is to rent the house and the house acts as a buffer between the commercial
use and the Freemont neighbors. If a hardship is created for 150 Fremont, the developer is the owner and will
work out any problems. Mr. Goldberg stated a revised survey and legal description will be submitted to the
town.
Mr. Daniele stated approximately three years ago, Royal Car Wash was in front of the Planning Board for the
Transit Road location, and this is almost an identical use and set up. There have been adjustments made but
no real complaints. Mr. Daniele stated he has sent correspondence to the neighbors on Fremont Avenue to
introduce the project and provide contact information. Royal Car Wash strives to be open, transparent, and
good neighbors.
Royal Car Wash is an express tunnel facility. Approximately 70 percent of the customers are monthly pass
holder's with an RFD tag, which activates a gate to pull in. The time frame to go through the car wash is
approximately 2 ½ minutes from the time the car passes the gate. This is an express car wash, and the drying
is completed in the tunnel. Free vacuums are on the site and are self-serve. The intent is to move cars quickly
and not add traffic to the road. Most customers are already driving past the site, this typically does not increase
Mr. Nalewajek questioned if traffic studies have been completed. Mr. Daniele stated a preliminary analysis has
been a full traffic will be completed for the Town Board. The cars have an option of entering from

Union Road and Center Road. People tend to use the when it is convenient to be used. The queuing at

Ms. Bebak noted that although tonight is just for rezoning, there some concerns with site plan. The Union Road
corridor has design standards. There has been another approval of a car wash that was very specific to the
Planning Boards recommendations. Mr. Daniele stated this is just the beginning and understands the site plan
is subject to change and is willing to work with the Planning Board and community.
Mr. Frick stated the Union Road corridor requires many standards including architectural standards, minimum
and maximum setbacks that need to be accommodated.
Chairman Rathmann questioned where the vacuums would be located. Mr. Daniele stated the vacuums would
be along Center Road and intentionally not placed by residential homes and along Union Road. Vacuum
placement could be adjusted during site plan review.
Chairman Rathmann referred to the stacking on Union Road from Tim Horton's. Under a special use permit,
20'
there should be no use of the lot except for landscaping and screening within of any residential district. The
back side and south side do not comply. Mr. Daniele stated this can be worked with and screening provided.
Chairman Rathmann stated although he approves of the Transit Road facility and the Amherst location, there
are concerns regarding the appropriateness at the Union Road location. The Union Road location does not fit
into the character of the neighborhood with a car wash facility being approved down the street.
20'
Mr. Frick stated the building setback should be no more than from Union Road and questioned if the driveway
15'
will allow this to work. Mr. Daniele replied he believed the building was from the lot line and could be pulled
closer.
A resident from 153 Freemont Avenue stated she is directly across from the proposed rental property and
expressed concerns regarding the noise from the car wash equipment and traffic along Union Road.
A resident from 154 Freemont Avenue stated he is directly behind the proposed location and does not want a
car wash backing up to his backyard and would like an office building. Many cars come down the street from
Tim Horton's making backing out very difficult. The noise and lighting are also a concern along with privacy
issues.
A resident from Freemont Avenue stated he lives very close to the speaker at Tim Horton's and has been dealing
with cars, radios and smoking and is against the project. Tim Horton's makes it very difficult to use the backyard.
Cars exiting Tim Horton's use Summit Avenue to Fremont Avenue as a cut through to Center Road.
A business owner stated the correct address of the property on Center Road is 798 Center Road. Mr. Goldberg
stated this was an error on the application and any motions should include the corrected address.

A resident from 109 Fremont Avenue stated the traffic is a concern and the snow removal that is a problem on

Mr. Osbourne stated the wetland is the oxbow and the DEC shows a setback; DEC regulations would be

entire field as synthetic grass.
Chairman Rathmann questioned if an area is designated for a tennis court. Mr. Osbourne stated the area for

Chairman Rathmann referred to the area within the flood plain and questioned the turf. Mr. Vaillancourt stated
this is a grass area used for practice, not for official games. Chairman Rathmann questioned if the area would

is no intention to regrade.
Mr. Frick stated the SHPO response is still under review. Mr. Vaillancourt stated the contactor from the 2007
project has stated there was no artifacts discovered during the project. There was no follow through with Phase
3 in 2007. Mr. Frick stated the new area is in an area that was not previously disturbed and there is the potential
to find something. Mr. Vaillancourt stated within a day or two they should have the letter obtained stating there
are no artifacts.
Chairman Rathmann stated he understand SHPO's concerns as the land was previously Seneca Nation territory.
Archaeological findings have been found down the road from the project.

Mr. Nalewajek questioned if the Town Engineer had a time frame for reviewing the new submission. Code
drawings'
Enforcement Officer .Jeffrey Schieber stated some of the concerns were missed on the specifically item
2 and 4. The Town Engineer's initial letter stated he was comfortable with the Planning Board issuing an approval
contingent on the five items.
Mr. McCabe questioned the timeline for the baseball diamonds. Matthew Carver from Canisius High School
stated the plan was for construction to begin in August with project completion by November. The intention is
to use the field next spring.
Mr. McCabe noted a letter was submitted from resident Dan Warren.
Motion by Clifford, seconded by Nalewajek, to table site plan approval for property located at 2885 Clinton Street
for construction of an athletic complex with all related site improvements based on: 1) there is no immediate
need to begin construction; 2) archeology findings, Town Engineer approval, and wetlands delineation have not
been granted/completed.
On the question, Chairman Rathmann stated this is a Type 1 action according to SEQRA due to the alteration of
more than 10 acres of property. In most instances this would require an Environmental Impact Statement. In
reviewing the submitted long form, this would only be required if there is a major disturbance/activity that would
impact the environment. Chairman Rathmann stated it was his belief this is not the case. A response would be
required on the wetlands delineation, SHPO, and other items before the Planning Board may make a positive or
negative declaration.

Code Enforcement Officer Jeffrey Schieber stated currently there are two gas pumps with a canopy. The
40'
proposal for the new canopy is set back farther from the road. The town code imposes a building setback.
The alteration and reconfiguration of the site also adjusts the parking and drive lanes. The parking shown
satisfies town code requirement and the parcel is properly zoned. After hearing the Planning Boar s initial
40'
comments and concerns, a variance for the setback must be obtained from the Zoning Board of Appeals to
return to the Planning Board for official site plan approval.

Chairman Rathmann noted the setback to the edge of the canopy set post. Handicapped parking requires an
access aisle and appears it needs to be widened, possibly eliminating one parking space. C-2 zoning requires
10'
parking be from the property line. Mr. Schieber stated the entire site is almost paved to the property lines.
During the variance process, the application is submitted to the NYSDOT for review.
Chairman Rathmann stated any parking adjacent to a residential property must be screened; there needs to be
an evergreen fence along the parking line and should be shown on the site plan.
Mr. McCabe questioned if the existing canopy has a variance. Mr. Schieber stated this is unclear, existing records
do not show one. The goal is to make existing problems right and there is the formality of the 40'.
Mr. McCabe commented on a vacuum in the back and questioned if this would be removed. Ms. Bebak replied
this looks to be a utility pole or a phone booth. The representative from Tritec Construction of WNY, Corp stated
this was an old survey with an overlay.
Chairman Rathmann questioned if the information on the survey was correct. Ms. Bebak noted the survey is
from 2020. The representative from Tritec Construction of WNY, Corp stated this was provided by the customer.
The portion showing grass is all blacktop now. The important part, the tanks and canopy are correct.
Mr. Frick commented on the three existing tanks and the location of the new tanks: one tank to be directly in
the same location and the remaining immediately adjacent. The representative from Tritec Construction of WNY,
Corp stated there are three underground storage tanks and it is a different technology with the double wall.
Mr. Naiewajek asked where the cuts would be in the existing hard top for the excavation. Mr. Frick requested
the future site plan show where the excavating will occur with the restoration; how much would be excavated
and filled back in.
Chairman Rathmann stated there may be a need for a grading plan. There is a catch basin on site and once
construction is done questioned where the water would go. The representative from Tritec Construction of
Chairman Rathmann stated he would like updated drawings to reflect what is currently on site.
Chairman Rathmann questioned if this would be reviewed by the Town Engineer. Mr. Schieber stated this would
not go to the Town Engineer. After a variance is secured, the applicant would return to the Planning Board.
Mr. Clifford questioned if a 3-tank basin would be added. The representative from Tritec Construction of WNY,
Corp stated the new tanks will replace the existing in the same direction. Mr. Clifford requested updated plans
due to the excavation that will take place on the site.

Chairman Rathmann stated after removing tanks, excavation for new tanks, pad, and gas tanks removal,
approximately ¾ of the site will be disturbed and expressed concerns with the grading.

Motion by Bebak, seconded by Sailer, to grant site plan approval for property located at 2885 Clinton Street for
construction of an athletic complex with all related site improvements conditioned upon the following:
On the question, Mr. McCabe questioned if there should be a negative SEQR declaration. Code Enforcement
Officer Jeffrey Schieber stated because the applicant is lacking approval from the Office of Historics, Parks and
Preservations, the Planning Board is limited to produce a declaration pursuant to SEQR. The intent is to agree
what is on paper works and allows the Planning Board to agree with the applicant that the site plan is satisfactory.
When SHPO determinations are made, the applicant would return before for the Planning Board for a declaration
pursuant to SEQR. Mr. McCabe questioned if a building permit could be obtained. Mr. Schieber stated there
would be no disturbance of the area until a declaration pursuant to SEQR was determined.
Chairman Rathmann stated it is his understanding with SEQR that a conditional negative declaration may not be
issued on an unlisted action; this is a Type 1 action according to SEQR guidelines.

Morris presented on behalf of the applicant. Mr. Sorgi stated previously they were in front of the Planning Board
for pre application review. Engineer drawings have been submitted and include a 44-lot, single-family home
subdivision and is consistent with other subdivisions in the area. A secondary access is included through a
planned sub street and the parcel is properly zoned.
This is an unlisted action through SEQR; a letter from the Army Corp of Engineers has been issued stating there
are no wetlands on the site. A SHPO letter has been provided stating there is no impact regarding cultural
resources. Mr. Pandolfi has been working through plan logistics with the Town Engineer.
Mr. Frick questioned the capacity of the utilities servicing the site, both drainage of sanitary and water. Mr.
Pandolfi stated part of the town's requirement is to limit post development storm water runoff and the detention
is being planned accordingly with the Town Engineer. A downstream sanitary sewer capacity analysis has been
submitted to the Town Engineer and the NYSDEC for review and approval. The water line has been submitted
to Erie County Water Authority who had some minor technical comments, nothing regarding the capacity.
Chairman Rathmann questioned if a letter has been received from the Town Engineer with his comments. Mr.
Pandolfi stated a letter has been received and is being addressed.
Chairman Rathmann referred to the Environmental Assessment Form and stated it appears to be an extension
of John Alex Drive and no indication of units. Mr. Sorgi stated this is a separate project with a different owner.
Chairman Rathmann stated the Environmental Assessment Form states there are no wetlands; a wetland survey
shows approximately half of the site is wetlands. There are about 8 1/3 acres of wetlands on site. Mr. Sorgi
stated the project follows the current standards; the Army Corp of Engineers has confirmed there are not
wetlands/waters under federal jurisdiction on this property. The project follows DEC and Army Corp of Engineer
standards. Mr. Pandolfi stated the project does not disturb any jurisdictionally or federally regulated wetlands.
Chairman Rathmann requested clarification of E2, item H, of the Environmental Assessment Form. Town
Attorney Tina Hawthorne stated the form only requires information on the regulated wetlands. Mr. Pandolfi
stated the regulated wetlands are adjoining the site, no regulated wetlands are on site. There is no regulation
to follow regarding non-jurisdictional wetlands. Mr. Sorgi noted, there is no discharge off site without a permit,
and they are not applying for this permit. Ms. Hawthorne referred to the Environmental Assessment Form and
stated because this section has been checked off, it does not mean something has been listed below, only water
bodies that are regulated wetlands are to be listed.
Chairman Rathmann questioned archaeological sites and questioned if SHPO has provided correspondence.
Code Enforcement Officer Jeffrey Schieber replied SHPO provided a letter in the previous year's submittal stating
no archaeological resources have been identified.
Chairman Rathmann questioned if the DEC has provided correspondence on the wetland delineation. Mr.
Schieber stated the DEC provided a letter and all concerns were followed through on.
Chairman Rathmann stated a tree survey must be done along with a landscape plan. Each unit will require two
1/2'"
trees with a 2 caliber. The tree survey should show how many trees are being removed and saved. A
tree removal permit must be filed.

Saturday and 6:00 am - 2:00 pm on Sundays. A variance
is being requested from the Zoning Board of Appeals for the desired setback.
Code Enforcement Officer Jeffrey Schieber stated this request is a first, as no other café exists in town. There
is nothing in the code that regulates a free-standing café. This location does not require the owner of the
property to restripe the entire parking lot but requires a setback variance. Although, not officially approved the
applicant is awaiting correspondence from ECDPW.
Ms. Bebak questioned the aesthetics of the building. Mr. Suffoletto stated the building will have stone veneers,
vinyl to icok like a natural and basic shingle roof. There will be two over hangs over the drive-

deep Pandolfi stated he can adjust this and the following actions will mitigate the shallow water
table: the roadway with the gutter curbs, the house foundations will have perimeter drains, and most of
the lots will be filled to drain them properly.
/ Proposed action involve construction that continues for more than a year in multiple phases - Mr.

Sorgi confirmed this and stated the houses will be built as they are sold.
/ Proposed action result in increased erosion whether from physical disturbance or vegetation
may
and questioned if the site will be clear-cut - Mr. Pandolfi stated SWPPP inspections take place
removal,
to ensure this is handled correctly
/ Proposed action result in or require modification of existing drainage patterns - Mr. Sorgi confirmed
may
this is true as there is nothing there and something is going to placed there; the drainage will take in
everything from the subdivision and there is a good chance it will assist with some of the drainage issues
from adjoining properties.
/ Proposed action requires the conversion of more than 10 acres of forest, grassland, or other
any
or important 16 acres will be cleared - Mr. Pandolfi referred to the portion on
regionally locally habitat,
the SWPPP critical environmental area, and it is checked no. Mr. Sorgi used the example of a critically
"No"
important forest area that is unique in some way. Mr. Pandolfi referred to the response of for EAF
item No. E.3.d on page 12 and noted the website determines this not the applicant. Mr. Sorgi stated for
this to be a critical environmental area, the town would have had to pass a law designating it as such.
Chairman Rathmann stated the applicant will need to provide a list of the types of trees to be planted for review
by the Environmental Commission and meet the requirements of the Tree Ordinance. Chairman Rathmann
commented on another project that resulted in the clear cutting of 105 trees before approval was granted and
the developer was ordered to plant 105 trees as a mitigation measure and questioned how many trees would
be removed. Mr. Sorgi commented in that situation the developer clear cut the trees prior to receiving approval.
Town Attorney Tina Hawthorne clarified mitigation only applies to certain circumstances and the other matter
involved a court case; there is a tree provision under Subdivision Law which would apply.

Rex Cameron from Tritec Construction of WNY, Corp stated all concerns from the previous meeting have been
addressed with the new site plan that has been provided to the Planning Board.
Mr. Schieber stated the concerns of screening the neighboring residential property have been addressed as well
as drainage and topography. The Town Engineer stated because the site is existing and only conducting work
where needed, the town has no regulation for collection of stormwater.
Ms. Bebak recalled there being catch basins on the property that would tie in. Mr. Cameron stated there is a

Mr. Frick requested confirmation that the existing tanks are in the area where the news tanks will be installed.
Mr. Cameron stated the goal is to stay in the same footprint. The new tanks are safer with new technology such

Ms. Bebak referred to the narrow front and side setbacks. Mr. Manguso stated there is setback at the corners;
because this is a triangular shaped parcel the building has been shrunk down to accommodate the parking,

The town ordinance is met with parking; the site contains 81 parking stalls including 12 inside of garages,
12 in front of garages and the remainder located throughout the property.
The town's Comprehensive Plan was reviewed and only 1% of the towns residential units consisted of
multi-family apartments and there is a need in West Seneca. The residents of the apartments are people
who can afford the $1,500 per month rent.
This would be a down zoning as the commercial property in the front has uses that are far more intense
than what is being proposed. C-2 zoning includes laundry mats, warehouses, and restaurants.
Detailed engineering would be completed upon approval
Mr. Clifford referred to the statement made regarding 1% of multi-family dwellings and noted since 2016 the
town has approved apartments on Center Road and Leydecker Road.
Ms. Bebak requested clarification as to the type of apartment. Mr. Palumbo stated the apartments will be a mix
of 2 - 3 bedrooms. Mr. Pandolfi stated the smallest unit will be just over 1,100-sf and larger units just over
1,600-sf.
Ms. Bebak questioned the facade of the dwellings. Mr. Palumbo stated although his client is not yet at that
stage this will be higher end apartments with granite countertops, etc.
Chairman Rathmann questioned if this is subsidized apartments. Mr. Palumbo stated the apartments are not
subsidized.
Chairman Rathmann questioned if the apartments will be targeted to seniors or the public. Mr. Palumbo stated

to the Town Board. The Town Board will again notify surrounding neighbors of a meeting. The presenters will
be back in front of the Town Board where a decision will be made.
Mr. Palumbo stated typically a multi-family unit will raise questions regarding drainage and traffic. The final
engineering has not been completed regarding drainage. Traffic will be addressed with an ITE Traffic Generation
Table to determine the traffic generated; this provides an average of all different/potential users. For this type
of development, the number leaving in the morning is approximately 20 with the same in the evening. People
do not all leave for work at the same time, this provides the number during the peak hours.
Chairman Rathmann referred to the 3786 Clinton Street parcel stating this is zoned R-50 and questioned the
back portion being sold. The back area is a flag shape and was zoned R-50 in 1993; the map does not show
the C-2 and R-65. All the development is going in the used car lot parking area and area behind it. The property
beyond is zoned R-50 and is Federally Regulated Wetlands which cannot be disturbed. Mr. Palumbo stated this
is correct; the automotive use is currently zoned C-2, to the north a small piece is zoned R-65 and the remained
R-50. The request is for all to be R-50 to allow a special use permit.

Referred to item 13 and questioned is there was a wetland law on replacement ratios of number of
wetlands removed and additional lands to be added - Chairman Rathmann stated the project does not
impact the Army Corp of Engineers regulated wetland. The Federal Government does not have a buffer
zone around wetlands, the NYSDEC does. The state regulates 12.4 acres and greater; the wetland
delineated here is 7.41 acres. Chairman Rathmann asked if an additional review could be done by the
state biologist and via email, they have been requesting additional staff for such, chances of this being
delineated for state wetlands are not good.

100'
The land within of Federally Regulated Wetlands are critical in maintaining the health and
200'
productivity of wetlands, while also regulate within of a stream. If the creek is considered a stream
this would take away the buildable land. Chairman Rathmann stated he spoke with the Army Corp of
100'
Engineers, NYS has a buffer and the Federal Government does not have a buffer around the
wetlands. You may fill right up to the wetlands as long as fill is not put into the wetlands.
Requested clarification on the regulation of wetlands - Chairman Rathmann stated NYS regulates 12.4
acres or greater. The Federal Government can regulate a tiny pool of water on a property. The parcel
behind (7.4 acres) was delineated as Federal Wetlands. The NYS Dec will not regulate anything more
than 12.4 acres and will remain Federal Wetlands.
The blacktop from the buildings will cause runoff that will come down Maplewood Drive into an already
strained sewer system that floods - Chairman Rathmann explained it is required all the water will be
collected on site and discharged off site, not into the wetlands. Ms. Hawthorne stated these questions
will be part of the SEQR review process and extensively discussed.
Expressed concerns regarding the traf fic situation as pulling out is currently difficult
Concerns were expressed with the sewer issues and water pressure

Referred to the town code stating a building of mixed occupancy must have of open space for each
dwelling/unit contained in such building provided on the lot for recreation. With the number of units this

Potential residents should spend the $1,500 per month rent on the purchase of a home in the town;

Requested information about the developer - Mr. Palumbo stated the developer is a partnership in which
all the partners own apartments and live locally. The developers will be spending millions of dollars and
will not allow this property to be a rat-infested, low-income property. The statement that this is low
income or low income is required to be in the development is fallacy and inaccurate.
Mr. Palumbo addressed the residents concerns with the following points:

/ The proposed development is in the back yard of some Meadow Drive houses and are at least away
from the development with the wetlands in between
/ The area impacted is approximately 1.3 acres; the frontage is all impacted with pavement and

Code Enforcement Officer Jeffrey Schieber stated the zoning classification of C-1 permits the former office

the vehicles stored outside to be encompassed in the approval.
Mr. Frick questioned what is anticipated tonight. Mr. Schnitzer stated they are hoping for a positive
Chairman Rathmann questioned if changes will be made to the front of the building. Mr. Schnitzer stated the
front of the building now is for access, the plan shows how the building will look in the future.
Chairman Rathmann questioned the reason for a 3-story building so close to the road. Mr. Schnitzer stated that
portion is up front and is separate from where customers will be entering/exiting the building to control
Chairman Rathmann inquired if the long storage building could be rotated perpendicular to Transit Road; one of
the samples shows the building rotated and places the narrow side to the main roadway and is eye appealing.
Mr. Schnitzer stated he will investigate this and see if this may be done at this location.
Chairman Rathmann noted the parking lot is large and more than sufficient. Mr. Nalewajek questioned the
parking requirements. Mr. Schieber stated the former use required a substantial amount of parking; the new
use only deals with the parking for the showroom area as a customer comes in. There will be vehicles
unloading/loading for a small amount of time and be gone. The conceptual plan has more than enough parking
to satisfy the town requirement.
Mr. Nalewajek stated he is looking at rather than keeping that extensive amount of parking in front we could
start moving things closer and away from Transit Road in terms of the building massing studies, to facilitate a
more pleasing presentation to Transit Road.
Chairman Rathmann referred to a possible variance for the 3-story building. Mr. Schieber stated after tonight's
meeting, the applicant will go before the Town Board for approval, and return to the Planning Board to sort out
40'
issues such as building location, parking, etc. The height is over which would require a variance.
Mr. McCabe stated it is his understanding that the Planning Board recommendation would go to the Town Board
for approval. Upon approval the project would return to the Planning Board for site plan approval; at that time
restrictions may be placed on the special use permit. This project would require minimal variances and would
just need to comply with the Town Code for setbacks. Mr. Schieber concurred; the current plan does not require
any variances other than the height. This board at this time should make recommendations pursuant to the
special use permit on vehicles parked along Transit Road.
Mr. Nalewajek questioned how many faces are accessible to the general public in terms to the layout. Mr.
Schnitzer stated the new building has one access side.
Mr. Clifford stated the Planning Board has been asking developers to follow the Town Comprehensive Plan which
brings all the building up closer to the road, noting this applicant has proposed this, to ask him to place it back

Mr. Sailer stated when site plan approval is granted, the Planning Board can dictate issues such as fencing. Mr.
Schnitzer stated he does not object to a privacy fence and is willing to work with the neighbors. This is a vacant
building, and he is looking to redevelop it and work with the neighboring residents. Other projects have had
quality fences placed for privacy. A similar facility is being constructed off the 1-90.
Mr. Clifford requested clarification on after hours access. Mr. Schnitzer explained after someone has been a

Mr. Clifford stated something should be done regarding the back of the building, but this will be discussed at
site plan approval.
Mr. Sailer stated the drainage easement is very beneficial to the residents in the neighborhood and questioned

Mr. Frick referred to the SEQR process stating this has been an issue on the project due to the nature of the
disturbance and public involvement/comment. Mr. Frick provided the following brief synopsis:
/ As required by Title 6 NYCRR part 617, the lead must make a SEQR determination for the project
agency
in this case the Town of West Seneca is that lead agency.
/ In accordance with Part 617, this project is considered a Type I action due to the disturbance being
more than 10-acres.
This requires a full EAF be submitted and reviewed. The EAF was submitted in February 2021 and
reviewed during the April 2021 Planning Board meeting with all comments addressed.
At the same time, it was also sent out to the following agencies for review: NYSDEC, NYSDOT, ECDEP,
Erie County Sewer District #1, Army Corp of Engineers, Town of West Seneca Fire District, Town of
West Seneca Environmental Commission and Town of West Seneca Engineer.
Subsequent to this, it was determined the project needed to be reviewed by SHPO which resulted in
extensive field survey and testing. Based on this survey SHPO requested some minor modifications to
the site plan.
Modifications were received and approved by the Town Engineer.
All required agencies have now approved the project, noting that SHPO has ten conditions placed on

alteration of the driveway or change in the drainage patterns to Clinton Street.
Mr. Frick stated based on the information provided, there are conditions that must be met by SHPO. The-SEQR
This requires the Planning
Board to publish the SHPO contingencies and have a minimum 30-day public comment period. This must happen

contingencies contained in the SHPO letter can be granted at this time. Mr. Fick deferred to Town Attorney
Chris Trapp for clarification. Mr. Trapp stated this was correct.
Mr. McCabe referred to the conditions in the letter from Parks Recreation and Historic Preservation and stated it
was his understanding that either the Code Enforcement Office or Engineering would be monitoring during
construction to ensure the conditions are complied with. Code Enforcement Officer Jeffrey Baksa stated this
was correct. Some of the items on the list would be addressed at a preconstruction meeting.
Mr. McCabe requested clarification on who was the lead agency and believed this to be the Town of West Seneca

A request from New York State Electric and Gas Corporation for site plan approval for property located at Indian
Church Road just east of the intersection with Mineral Springs Road (SBL No's. 134.07-3-6 & 134.07-3-7) to
upgrade electrical systems on site and replace outdated equipment and buildings.
.Justin Cree with Fisher Associates stated the application is for the new Gardenville electric substation for NYSEG.
This is an existing property which was developed in the 1950's and is in need equipment upgrades. The project
is hoping for conditional site plan approval tonight, pending approval of all environmental permits under review
with the DEC and other agencies.
The project is on an existing developed site; there will be no change to the use or coverage of the land as far
as stormwater design and permitting. The Town Engineer has reviewed the site plan application and had no
comments and recommended conditional approval.
Mr. Cree referred to the site plan and illustrated the existing site, the area not being altered, and the new NYSEG
property where the existing electrical equipment will be upgraded to better service the towns needs and growing
infrastructure. Approximately 1/3 of the property will be under construction.
There are existing wetlands on the southern end, away from Indian Church Road, along with wetlands to the
west in between an asphalt drive. This area will be avoided, the reason for the permits is due to the site being
100'
within the buffer area. The request is for conditional site plan approval based on the site plan itself.
Basic construction is scheduled to start in the fall. Larger construction with heavy equipment will begin in 2024.
This will be a prolonged process with the upgrades and connections. The biggest concern to the town will be
some shutdowns/outages to switch over equipment. Shutdowns should be approximately an hour long during
off peak times.
Mr. Frick questioned if this project was a replace in kind upgrade with no expansion to the site. Mr. Cree stated
this was correct; this is an existing gravel site with no change to the land.
Chairperson Bebak noted the Planning Board is in receipt of Engineering approval along with OPHPR approval
and questioned what approvals are needed. Mr. Cree stated the DEC Wetlands permitting has yet to be received.

/ A utility pole would need to be relocated to provide the access

service for the Wegmans.
The initial intention was to make a pavement-to-pavement connection along the back of KeyBank;
KeyBank was approached and has refused based on a detriment to their branch operations.
Wegmans was willing to work with the project, however the utility pole problems cannot be overcome.
To go around the utility brings the cross access to another adjacent property which is owned by the
original landowner that this project was purchased from. The landowner was only interested in selling
and this became a deal breaker.
The problem becomes fire access; there will be discussions with Goodyear to make a direct connection
for practical fire access.

The location of the sanitary sewer service is not yet known

Mr. Sherman stated it appears there was access from Goodyear onto the property. Mr. Blood stated the plan
conceptually shows a cross access conception arrived at. There is no room in the front but access to the back

Chairperson Bebak questioned if the cross access is required as part of the building permit. Code Enforcement
Officer Jeff Baksa stated this would have to be reviewed to see if the permit would be following the NYS Fire
Code. If this did not comply with the NYS Fire Code, the only other avenue to take is to petition the state for a
variance to the code. Mr. Blood stated they would like access from the back of the site to the back of the

access purposes would be satisfactory to the town; however only one ingress and egress for traffic would have
to be approved by the NYSDOT.
Mr. Nalewajek questioned if the site plan was now null and void. Mr. Blood stated the site plan was submitted
and the NYSEG field engineer has since informed them of the pole problem. The plans indicated underground
detention beneath the driveway; if something connects to the back of Goodyear and the site remains green, a
detention basin will be placed.
Mr. Sherman questioned why the building was placed crooked on the parcel with no setback at the corner rather
than squared up on the parcel. Mr. Blood stated several placements were looked at. The current one is
O'
awkwardly situated in relationship to the road but fit the required parking spaces. The setback and pavement
setbacks of the property line were approved in the fall. Mr. Baksa explained the direction of the building is
O' O'
because of the setback at the corner, a variance was sought for that instead of the entire building being a
setback. This did not provide for extra parking but allows for a lane and parking. This also makes the building
90°
placement with the road and allows for better visibility.
Mr. Nalewajek questioned the schematic level of site development. Mr. Blood stated approximately 75% of the
site plan is valid. There are a lot of questions to be answered.
Mr. McCabe requested clarification on the parking variances. Mr. Blood stated variances were granted for parking
setback, sign location and building setbacks.
Mr. Sherman questioned if Goodyear grants access would there be an access point for egress from the building
to drive around the back and out, using the Goodyear driveway. Mr. Blood stated that is the intent and is not
sure if this would be a big benefit. Mr. Sherman stated he believed this would be a large benefit particularly for
fire access.
Mr. Sherman questioned if this project could be contingent upon access from Goodyear. Mr. Blood stated this
is correct unless they appeal to the fire code.

A request of Todd Huber of Building Solutions for site plan approval for property located at 1303 Union Road
for construction of an addition and an ADA compliant rest room.
Todd Huber of Building Solutions stated Graeber Jewelers has been in business for many years and at the Union
60'
Road location since 1976. The existing lot on Union Road is x 160'. The business received correspondence
from their insurance company requesting an updated safe on the premises along with an ADA compliant
restroom. The structure is small and in need of an addition for a safe, storage, and restroom. The front of the
building is geared towards the visual need of the customers. The proposal is to place the addition close to Union
Road to abide by the code. The placement of the addition would hinder the daily operations of the business
during construction and would not satisfy the needs of the addition. There is not a way to stay viable during
construction. Another proposal would be to place the addition off the back and incorporate some of the visual
concerns along Union Road, such as placing parking towards the back, additional plantings, and detention along
the back with greenery. The request tonight is for approval of a rear addition to the existing structure.
Chairperson Bebak referred to Mr. Huber's statement and questioned if rear access could be in place, the addition
onto the front and keep the showroom in the back; flip the business. There will be down time while changing
the area; the area is a square. One of the problems with the building is the small parking. The second plan is
a vast improvement on the business by having the parking and access in the rear with the addition on the front.
Mr. Huber stated if the addition was built onto the front, the business would need to be shut down to move the
contents to the front. This is to accommodate what is requested, a new safe, storage area, and ADA compliant
restroom. These are the needs and from a construction view, duplicating a showroom is a greater cost.
Chairperson Bebak stated this is short term compared to the long-term benefits of the plan that complies with
the code and ensures more parking. Mr. Huber stated from a construction standpoint, this is a sustained
investment that would snuff out the viability of a business being able to overcome such a renovation.
Mr. Nalewajek stated it appears to be an either-or situation instead of looking at the possibility of placing some
addition on the front to bring the building closer in compliance with additional space needed at the back of the
building. The design presented does not show anything in terms of what the addition would look like or what
is the impact to the street and neighbors.
Code Enforcement Officer Jeff Baksa stated it was his understanding the addition that the business would like
to add would have a new safe and storage space. By placing the addition on the front of the building, the safe
and storage would be at the front of the building, or they would have the additional expense of rebuilding the
entire showroom in the front new addition. This is where it may not be financially feasible.
Mr. Frick questioned if this project would require NYSDOT review as the building is on Union Road. Mr. Baksa
stated this would need to be sent to the NYSDOT and SEQR review. The applicant is here tonight for input from
the Planning Board.

Mr. Frick stated current precedence from the NYSDOT is not to allow a parking space in the front of the building
and believes they will restrict the entrance to approximately 24'; the two front spots will be eliminated. The
Planning Board has done similar with projects along Union Road. Mr. Baksa concurred and suggested an ingress
and egress be added to the project.
Mr. Frick stated a renovation of the facade could be a compromise. Other projects have added a decorative wall
to give the feel of being closer to Union Road.
Mr. Huber stated his intent was to explore and he takes the Planning Boards suggestions seriously. Mr. Huber
suggested adding more glass and noted, the lot is quite small to be able to include egress and ingress.
Mr. Frick suggested reviewing the Union Road Corridor requirements in the Town Code for architectural
guidance.
Chairperson Bebak noted this is a long-standing business and it would be great to improve the building. What
has been presented is not what the Planning Board is looking for. The proposal should combine the Union Road
Corridor requirements and have aesthetics incorporated.

A request of Ebenezer Landing Community, LLC for site plan approval for property located at 4592 Seneca
Street for construction of 31 patio homes, 5 attached villas, and all related site improvements.
William Tyne with David Homes stated this project was previously approved; the approval has timed out due to
advancements on the project. The project needs to have approval once again. The original approved plans
required a demolition on the existing house. The project went to bid with contractors and the prices came back
extremely high due to an elevation change along Seneca Street; the receiving sewer is in the low point making
the connection in the middle of the street. When building a sewer in the middle of the street the backfill needs
to be stone, causing the increase in price. To make this more affordable it was decided that the sewer needed
to be moved from the middle of the street. Drawings were completed and reviewed by NYSEG and the Town
Engineer.

Mr. Sherman questioned if the minimum lot size is supposed to be 10,000-sf. Code Enforcement Officer Jeff
Baksa stated in previous approvals with the current site plan and lots, this was approved. Mr. Baksa would have
to investigate the code as the numbers can be moved to fit the county subdivision map.
Mr. Sherman stated he recalled the lot size was a concern of the petitioner, that the number of homes would
not be able to fit the number of homes needed at 10,000-sf and questioned if this was compliant at 8,000-sf.
Mr. Tyne stated this was previously approved.
Mr. Sherman questioned when the project was last approved. Mr. Baksa stated this was in 2019 with a one-
year extension.
Mr. McCabe questioned if the Code Enforcement Office has verified the plan is the same. Mr. Tyne stated the
layout and sewer is the only change. The Town Engineer has approved the changed.
Mr. Sherman questioned the radius of the cul-de-sac in the back; there was previously a concern surrounding
55'
fire apparatus and school busses making the turn around. Mr. Tyne stated the radius is and was previously
approved.
Mr. Sherman referred to the parking and noted the driveway has a one car availability and questioned the width
of the road. Mr. Tyne stated the width is 24'. Mr. Sherman expressed concerns with parking on the street and
the road availability for emergency vehicles to reach the rear of the property. Mr. Tyne stated the width has
not changed.
Mr. Sherman referred to the slope at the rear of the property; how will the water be contained and not flow to
the neighbors at the rear of the property. Mr. Tyne stated there was drainage along the property line. Mr. Tyne
did not bring the drainage plan with him. Mr. Sherman questioned where the water flows to. Mr. Sailer stated
there is an existing area. Mr. Tyne stated there is a small undeveloped area. The development pattern of what
is being built is all draining to the street and controlled.

Mr. Sherman referred to the lots and stated the town code does not have any stipulations regarding the lots;
the minimum lot size 50'. Mr. Sherman stated it is his opinion that the size is non-conforming and will have to
be addressed. Mr. Goldberg stated there was a previous discussion regarding the lot size and it is his
understanding that variances were obtained. Mr. Goldberg believed this was an issue that would have come up
during the subdivision process. Rezoning the existing lots with the current dimensions to R-50 would be
compliant and Mr. Goldberg understands this will be addressed in the future. There is no problem delaying
construction to obtain any variances that are needed.
Chairperson Bebak questioned if approvals have been obtained for the other lots. Mr. Goldberg stated the lots

the plan and illustrated the present hundred-year flood plain and the new flood plain. Mr. Vaillancourt explained
that the new plan may appear as if it is providing less floodplain area, but in fact holds approximately 40% more

Mr. Frick stated the West Seneca Planning Board was designated lead agency for the SEQR review in early 2021.
As part of the environmental review process, the applicant had to file a full EAF (Environmental Assessment
Form) because this is a Type I action. The project has an area disturbance more than 10-acres, and this requires
a Type I action. Part I of the EAF was provided by the applicant. The lead agency then must complete Part II

This project was in the spirit of the development phases at the time the property was acquired. This is
the final phase of the vision; at this time the additional property has no plans to be developed.
" The project's purpose is to draw students to the high school - Mr. Carver stated the project is to
accommodate the current programs the school offers and do not have home fields for.
Mr. Frick stated as required by New York State law, the Planning Board then completed Parts II and III of the
EAF; in review a few issues were noted with potential environmental impacts:
" Item la: Proposed action involve construction on land where depth to water table is less than 3
may
feet. Average depth to water table on site is 2.96 feet. Construction will generally not penetrate this
depth except possibly for some drainage pipes and foundations for the small ancillary buildings that are
to be constructed. Therefore, no significant adverse effects will occur.
" Item id: Proposed action involve the excavation and removal of more than 1,000 tons of natural
may
material. Excavation for playing fields, stormwater detention facility and site regarding will exceed 1,000
tons but will not be removed from site. Therefore, no significant adverse effects will occur.

SPR2021-05 (continued)
" Item 3d: Proposed action involve construction within or a freshwater or tidal or
may adjoining wetland,
in the bed or banks of any other water body. Construction will occur along the bank of Buffalo Creek
primarily to excavate material to balance/regrade the site and to create addition flood storage (proposed
design increases flood storage on site by 20%). Therefore, no significant adverse effects will occur.
" Items 5a,b,c: Proposed action result in development in a designated a 100-year floodplain
may floodway,
and a 500-year floodplain. A portion of the project will occur within the Buffalo Creek floodplain. The
floodplain will be reshaped resulting in a 20% increase in the volume of flood water, noting Canisius has
increased this, that the site can accommodate. It is very common to allow recreational fields to be
constructed in floodplains. Therefore, no significant adverse effects will occur.
" Item 7h: Proposed action requires the conversion of more than 10-acres of forest, grassland or any other
or important habitat. Habitat type & information source: grassland - aerial site
regionally locally photo,
visit and EAF-Part I. The land was previously used for farming but has been abandoned for this purpose
for a long time. The grassland soil will be excavated to build approximately 3.85-acres of artificial turf
playing field and approximately 3.95-acres of natural turf playing field, lawn areas and stormwater
detention facility area in addition to approximately 0.5-acres of pavement and buildings. Stormwater will
be collected and detained on site and released to Buffalo Creek at a rate that will not exceed existing or
as allowed by code or ordinance. This has been reviewed and approved by the Town Engineer on at
least two occasions. Therefore, no significant adverse effects will occur.
" Item 8a: The proposed action impact soil classified within soil 1 through 4 of the NYS Land
may group
Classification System. The area of the development is abandoned farmland which contains soils within
the noted classification. AII excavated soils will remain on site and could be used in the future if the area
was to be used for farming again. Therefore, no significant adverse effects will occur.
" Item 10b: The proposed action occur or or contiguous to an
may wholly partially within, substantially
area designated as sensitive for archaeological sites on the NY State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO)
archeological site inventory. This site meets the above criteria and has had an extensive archeological
investigation and testing. A sensitive area was found, and the site plan adjusted to keep work out of
this area. SHPO has stated that the remaining area has been previously disturbed that there is little
likelihood that any additional significant artifacts will be present. An archeologist and a member of the
Seneca Nation will be on site during construction to aid the contractor and monitor the excavations for
any additional sensitive archeological artifacts. They will have the ability to stop construction at any time
to make any necessary examinations of the site. Therefore, no significant adverse effects will occur.
Mr. Frick stated the Planning Board received many letters from letters Daniel Warren and addressed some items
from each letter as follows and noted Mr. Warren was present at the meeting:
flooding dates back before 1966 when the Lexington Green area was developed with significant
ice jam flooding noted as early as 1971 with minor flooding occurring on a regular basis.

1) The project was determined to be a Type I action under the statewide SEQRA regulations, 6 NYCRR 617.4
since the project exceeds the threshold for physical alterations of 10 acres.
2) All involved and interested agencies were provided the necessary information to review this project, none
of which took exception to the proposed action. Agencies included: NYSDOT, USACE, NYSDEC, ECDPW,
ECDEP, Town Engineer, and SHPO. SHPO was the only agency that provided any requirements during

3) Concerns for increase in flooding were addressed by incorporating a flood bench into the site grading design
that increased the flood storage on the site by approximately 20%. In addition, a large natural bottom
detention facility was part of the design that will retain up to a 100-year flood from the entire developed
area of the property.
4) The increased amount of impervious area is minor and is mitigated by the detention structure.
6) The use of pesticides to maintain the natural grass areas will be partially mitigated by the detention structure

the adjacent property to the south and recognizes that the Union Road Corridor encourages shared parking. A
letter has been provided stating the parking will be shared. The variance for outdoor seating will be addressed
at the next Zoning Board of Appeals meeting to ensure the board is satisfied with what is being proposed. The
application is also in front of the NYSDOT as part of the Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals process.
The concern from the Code Enforcement Office is vehicle impact protection for safety and to protect patrons on
the outdoor patio.
Mr. Frick referred to the Union Road Corridor and stated there are required architectural standards that must be
adhered to and address the materials to be used on the facade of the structure. The heavy timber look is not
consistent with the standards and suggested wrapping parts of the columns with brick encasement on the lower
portions. Brick could be continued in between the columns to delineate the seating area. This would blend
more into the architectural requirements of the Union Road Corridor.
Mr. Cairns questioned if an iron railing would suffice, and stated specifications were not readily available and
there were also budget concerns. Chairperson Bebak referred to the car wash on Union Road and stated the
stone facade is an example, along with the Community Center. The Planning Board is not making the plans but
giving suggestions. The buildings are supposed to look as if they are 2-stories. The parking barrier could be
combined with brick posts. The area is to be closer to the road and a walkable community.
Mr. Sailer stated the Union Road Corridor has very extensive requirements for plantings to soften the area. This
should be incorporated and may give the feel of the Union Road Corridor.
Mr. McCabe noted this is an existing structure, the space for the requirements may be a little difficult. The
Planning Board is primarily looking for the applicant to spruce things up given what he has.
Chairperson Bebak stated after the variance(s) are obtained, the applicant would return to the Planning Board
with updated site plans.
Mr. McCabe questioned what is on the second floor. Mr. Cairns stated the second floor is living quarters.

Motion by Bebak, seconded by McCabe, to table site plan approval for property located at 1800 Union Road for
construction of a patio roof on the front of the existing building.
SPR2022-08
A request from Rich Wilkinson c/o Quick Service Realco, LLC. for site plan approval for property located at 1175
Union Road for the redevelopment of the building into a new restaurant.
Mr. Wilkinson stated the request is to modify the existing building and rebrand as a Taco Bell. Although the
structure should look like a Taco Bell, Mr. Wilkinson acknowledged this is a unique corridor. An option was to
leave the existing building as is and change the color to leave the appearance of a 2-story building. Another
option was to get rid of the peaked roof for a flatter roof.
Mr. Wilkinson provided drawings of a non-peaked and peaked roof. The building currently has a peaked roof
on the Union Road and side street side. Fake windows will be added and is shown on both plans. The plans
are the same with the peak being the only difference. The colors being used would be grey and some purple.
Mr. Nalewajek and Mr. McCabe sated they were in favor of the flat roof. Chairperson Bebak stated she favored
the peaked roof as it was more colonial; the flat roof was more modern and did not fit in as much with the Union
Road Corridor.
Mr. Sailer questioned if removing the peak would make any roof top elements be visible from the Union Road
Corridor. Mr. Wilkinson stated this will block more of the roof-top because the peak is squared off.
Mr. Nalewajek questioned if the flat top elevation was determined by shielding of roof-top units. Mr. Wilkinson
stated it is the Taco Bell branding to have a more squared off look.
Mr. Sailer stated he was in favor of the peaks and the greys with elements of wood tones.
Code Enforcement Officer Jeffrey Schieber stated there are no intentions of changes to the parking lot, the sign
will be changed and remain in place; this is just a facelift.
Mr. McCabe questioned the lighting. Mr. Wilkinson stated the plan shows the existing lighting which will be
revamped to LED lighting and directed more downward. Mr. Nalewajek requested a photometric submission.
Mr. Sailer stated many buildings have an access with a direct connection between the building to the sidewalk
and questioned if this could this be incorporated into the site plan. Mr. Wilkinson stated this could be done.
The ADA parking spots were relocated to meet code.

the color purple with wood tones at the northwest area; 3) incorporating an ADA compliant crosswalk.
SPR2022-09
A request from Michelle and Martino Monaco for site plan approval for property located at 1420 Union Road for
the redevelopment of the site and building into a beauty salon.
Chris Andrzejewski with Molex Engineering presented on behalf of the applicant and presented the following:
" The site is currently a residential lot but is zoned C-1 with a total lot size of 0.48-acres
(commercia)
" The owners wish to convert the to a beauty the site plan shows stalls with 1-
building salon; 9-parking
stall being ADA compliant
" Stormwater has been redirected to the NYSDOT stormwater the receivers on the west side of
system,
Union Road. An ADS subgrade detection system will manage the stormwater. The post construction
stormwater will be at preconstruction discharge rate. A formal approval has not been given from the
NYSDOT.
" A permit was applied for with the NYSDOT for the stormwater connection with the of the
along widening
driveway that is currently residential in size.
" The site plan shows on the south comer and in front of the the back will remain
landscaping building;
green space
Chairperson Bebak referred to the NYDOT and questioned if the project was still waiting for approvals;
correspondence was received stating there was indication that there was no significant impact on the state
highway system, but further information was needed before the highway work permit could be issued. Mr.
Andrzejewski stated this was a three-part process; the application has been submitted and reviewed, steps 2
and 3 require the owner to get their contractor and supply the insurance affidavit and bonding.
Chairperson Bebak questioned if site plan approval could be given with the knowledge that there is no significant
impact on the state highway approval. Code Enforcement Officer Jeffrey Schieber stated most projects that
come before the Planning Board receive a similar letter stating there are no traffic concerns or impact. This
then requires the applicant to follow up with the permits and contractors. This is fully approved as far as the
Planning Board should be concerned with the NYSDOT. An approval letter dated June 8, 2022, has been received
from the Town Engineer.

SPR2022-09 (continued)
Mr. Nalewajek questioned the lighting solution along the parking. Mr. Andrzejewski stated the existing lighting
on the building is staying.
Mr. Frick questioned if any modifications would be made to the facade of the building. Mr. Andrzejewski stated
to his knowledge there were no changes being made.
Mr. Schieber explained the project was before the Planning Board in the past. The rear parcel was rezoned to
C-1 with the intent to place parking in the back; as the engineer stated, this would not work. There is two-tone
siding on the building. The applicant was issued permits for the handicapped accessible ramp that currently
exists. The last piece today is to approve site plan. The Planning Board may require shielding of the parking.
Chairman Bebak stated she has reviewed the Union Road Corridor standards and this project adds to the vital
mixed-use environment and has little to no front or side setbacks. Another aspect is to minimize the visual
presence of off street parking and screen from viewing. Chairperson Bebak stated it was her suggestion to add
a decorative brick wall in the front or something more decorative than landscaping to block the parking and
bring the appearance of the site closer to the road, in front of the parking. Mr. Sailer suggested a brick or stone
wall with a coping stone along the top.
Mr. Sailer questioned if there will be signage. Mr. Andrzejewski stated the signage will remain on the building.
Mr. Frick questioned if there was any plan for the rear parcel. Mr. Andrzejewski stated there is no plan; there
were too many issues in the past.
Mr. McCabe questioned if the site plan proposal was by legal description; does the legal description include both
the commercial and the residential which is in the rear. Only the front portion is being developed which is
commercial. Mr. Schieber stated in the past, the rear portion was also zoned C-1 to develop a parking lot. The
entire parcel is C-1. The project was rezoned, and the site plan was denied.
Mr. McCabe stated there should be a requirement that there is no access onto the residential street across the
back portion of the property.
Chairperson Bebak questioned the thought of the decorative wall. Mr. Andrzejewski stated he felt it may look
out of place as this is a unique building. Mr. Sailer suggested a raised planting bed to elevate the plants. Mr.
Nalewajek stated more softening rather than a brick wall.
Chairperson Bebak noted the front porch appeared to need repairs. Mr. Andrzejewski stated the work had
stopped to obtain proper permits. The porch is not part of the site plan. Mr. Schieber stated he will facilitate
the porch upgrade with the owners.

NYSCEF DOC. NO. 18 RECEIVED NYSCEF: 07/15/2022
Item 1a: Proposed action may involve construction on land where depth to water
table is less than 3 feet.
Average depth to water table on site is 2.96 feet. Construction will generally not
penetrate this depth except possibly for some drainage pipes and foundations for the
small ancillary buildings that are to be constructed. Therefore, no significant adverse
effects will occur.
Item 1d: Proposed action may involve the excavation and removal of more than
1000 tons of natural material.
Excavation for playing fields, stormwater detention facility and site regarding will exceed
1000 tons but will not be removed from site. Therefore, no significant adverse effects
will occur.
Item 3d: Proposed action may involve construction within or adjoining a freshwater
or tidal wetland, or in the bed or banks of any other water body.
Construction will occur along the bank of Buffalo Creek primarily to excavate material to
balance/regrade the site and to create addition flood storage (proposed design increases
flood storage on site by 20%). Therefore, no significant adverse effects will occur.
A portion of the project will occur within the Buffalo Creek floodplain. The floodplain
will be reshaped resulting in a 20% increase in the volume of flood water that the site can
accommodate. Therefore, no significant adverse effects will occur.
Item 7h: Proposed action requires the conversion of more than 10 acres of forest,
grassland or any other regionally or locally important habitat. Habitat type &
information source: grassland – aerial photo, site visit and EAF-Part 1.
The land was previously used for farming but has been abandoned for this purpose for a
long time. The grassland soil will be excavated to build approximately 3.85 acres of
artificial turf playing field and approximately 3.95 acres of natural turf playing field,
lawn areas and stormwater detention facility area in addition to approximately 0.5 acres
of pavement and buildings. Stormwater will be collected and detained on site and
released to Buffalo Creek at a rate that will not exceed existing or as allowed by Code or
ordinance. This has been reviewed and approved by the Town Engineer on at least two
occasions. Therefore, no significant adverse effects will occur.

NYSCEF DOC. NO. 18 RECEIVED NYSCEF: 07/15/2022
Item 8a: The proposed action may impact soil classified within soil group through 4
of the NYS Land Classification System.
The area of the development is abandoned farmland which contains soils within the noted
classification. All excavated soils will remain on site and could be used in the future if
the area was to be used for farming again in the future. Therefore, no significant adverse
effects will occur.
Item 10b: The proposed action may occur wholly or partially within, or
substantially contiguous to an area designated as sensitive for archaeological sites on
the NY State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) archeological site inventory.
This site meets the above criteria and has had an extensive archeological investigation
and testing. A sensitive area was found and the site plan adjusted to keep work out of
this area. SHPO has stated that the remaining area has been previously disturbed that
there is little likelihood that any additional significant artifacts will be present.
An archeologist and a member of the Seneca Nation will be on site during construction to
aid the contractor and monitor the excavations for any additional sensitive archeological
artifacts. They will have the ability to stop construction at any time to make any
necessary examinations of the site. Therefore, no significant adverse effects will occur.

NYSCEF DOC. NO. 18 RECEIVED NYSCEF: 07/15/2022
This question was reviewed during the construction of the main playing field and
it was determined the use was acceptable. As no change in use is occurring,
therefore previous determination is still valid.
This is not true however the Buffalo River is considered a navigable waterway.
Item 3: “Flooding issues in this area began in 2014 and continue to this day”
The history of flooding dates back before 1966 when the Lexington Green area
was developed with significant ice jam flooding noted as early as 1971 with
minor flooding occurring on a regular basis. Reference USACE reports from
1966, 1979 and 2016 and the “Resilient New York Flood Mitigation Initiative,
Buffalo Creek, NY” from 2020 prepared by OBG.
The combined effects of both projects were considered during our review – this
will be addressed later in this statement.
The NYSDOT did not request one as onsite parking is not being modified as
timing of the usage of the new fields and the current playing field will not
overlap.
Item 6: “Rezoning at 3735 Clinton Street for storage of const. equipment not considered.”
Storage of construction equipment is not a major traffic generator and has little or
no effect on the traffic level of service on Clinton Street.
Phase 1 is contiguous with this property; this phase has no connection. However,
this phase will detain all runoff from both phases prior to release to Buffalo Creek
which is not connected to the Oxbow property.

Item 1: “All materials have not been made available to the public”
Materials are made available on the Town website including in the Meeting
Minutes.
Item 2: “Not all information was distributed to the involved and interested agencies.”
All materials have been forwarded and in addition, full packets of the all
information have been sent to all involved and interested agencies in April of this
year.
Item 1: “Additional 300,000 gals of water will be added to the site from Phase 1.”
This water is added during the growing season and not during the time when
flooding will be occurring,
The Lexington Green development does have a groundwater flooding issue. The
statement that” groundwater flooding occurs when natural underground drainage
cannot drain rainfall away quick enough…” is not correct. Groundwater flooding
occurs as a result of groundwater flowing into an area from outside of the region
due to high porosity of the underlying soils. The Lexington Green development is
constructed on fill from the Buffalo Creek realignment project and embanked
granular fill leading this high porosity – reference the 1979 and 2016 USACE
reports.
The Phase 2 design retains the 100 year flooding volume of both phases 1 and 2
on site until the creek level drops to an elevation that will allow its release.

The proposed project will not adversely change existing air quality, ground or
surface water quality or quantity, increase in solid waste, potential for erosion,
flooding, leaching or drainage problems. Removal of large quantities of
vegetation (grassland) will occur but majority of affected area will be replanted
grass or artificial turf with small change in impervious area that would increase
surface runoff. All other identified item will not be a significant impact: creation
of material conflict with a community’s current plans or goals, impairment of
character or quality of important historical, archeological, architectural or
aesthetic resources, Substantial change in intensity of use of land, changes in two
or more elements of the environment when considered together result in a
substantial adverse impact, and two or more related actions when considered
cumulatively would meet one or more of the criteria in subdivision 617.7 (c).
Response from SHPO stated the Phase 1 areas were disturbed to the point that no
significant artifacts were present. SHPO required the applicant to perform
extensive investigation and testing for this project that required a minor change in
the site layout to avoid a “sensitive area”. The remaining area of this project was
determined to have been significantly disturbed that no useful artifacts are likely
present. In addition, SHPO has required that all excavation be monitored by an
archeologist so that in the event any artifacts of significance are uncovered, they
will be properly preserved. The archeologist will have the authority to stop
construction at any time if it deemed necessary.
Item 1: “Effect on Oxbow Property – increased stormwater runoff into the Oxbow
Property”
The Phase 2 drainage modifications will direct all runoff from both phases to the
newly design detention pond, therefore no increase in overland flow will occur
into the oxbow lake area. In addition, no significant increase in impervious area
will occur with this project.

1. The project was determined to be a Type 1 action under the statewide SEQRA
regulations, 6 NYCRR 617.4 since the project exceeds the threshold for physical
alterations of 10 acres.
2. All involved and interested agencies were provided the necessary information to
review this project, none of which took exception to the proposed action. Agencies
included: NYSDOT, USACE, NYSDEC, ECDPW, ECDEP, Town Engineer, and SHPO.
SHPO was the only agency that provided any requirements during construction.
6. The use of pesticides to maintain the natural grass areas will be partially mitigated
by the detention structure and are not significantly different if this property was used for
a residential development.
7. The Planning Board has reviewed all available information and has determined
that no significant environmental impact will occur from this project.
8. The physical alterations contemplated under this project do not significantly alter
the land composition to result in an adverse environmental impact.

MERITS ARGUMENT
“The court's role is not to second-guess the agency's determination [citations omitted]”
(Brunner v Town of Schodack Planning Bd., 178 A.D.3d 1181, 1183 [3d Dept 2019]; see also
Buckley v Zoning Bd. of Appeals of City of Geneva, 189 A.D.3d 2080 [4th Dept 2020]). “The
arbitrary or capricious test chiefly 'relates to whether a particular action should have been taken
or is justified *** and whether the administrative action is without foundation in fact.' Arbitrary
action is without sound basis in reason and is generally taken without regard to the facts [citation
review of an agency determination under SEQRA is limited to whether the agency identified the
relevant areas of environmental concern, took a hard look at them, and made a reasoned
elaboration of the basis for its determination.” (Matter of Heights of Lansing, LLC v. Village of
Lansing, 160 A.D.3d 1165, 1166 (3d Dep't 2018) (cleaned up)). No more than a “reasoned
explanation” for an agency's negative declaration is required (Matter of Troy Sand & Gravel Co.,
Inc. v. Town of Nassau, 82 A.D.3d 1377, 1379 (3d Dep't 2011)). “The court's function is to
assure that the agency has satisfied SEQRA, procedurally and substantively, not to evaluate data
de novo, weigh the desirability of any particular action, choose among alternatives or otherwise
substitute its judgment for that of the agency.” (Matter of Town of Amsterdam v. Amsterdam
Indus. Dev. Agency, 95 A.D.3d 1539, 1543 (3d Dep't 2012)). “[Judicial] review is deferential for
it is not the role of the courts to weigh the desirability of any action or choose among

on any issue, or permits the courts to second-guess the agency's choice, which can be annulled
The Legislature of New York and its citizens have, through careful deliberation and
consideration, chosen to change the State Constitution to enact New York Constitution Art. 1 §
19 (the “Green Amendment”), and place it within the Bill of Rights, and thus vesting the State
and its municipalities with the affirmative duty to ensure, “each person shall have a right to clean
air and water, and a healthful environment.” The Bill of Rights is the primary source of
expressed information as to what is meant by constitutional liberty (Poe v. Ullman, 367 U.S. 497,
517 (1961) (Douglas, J., dissenting)). The Framers added the Bill of Rights to enshrine those
constitutional guarantees which experience indicated were indispensable to a free society. Id.
The same is true about the New York Bill of Rights (SHAD All. v. Smith Haven Mall, 66 N.Y.2d
496 (1985)). The Green Amendment now endows indispensable rights owed to the People.
In this action, Petitioner complains, inter alia, his constitutional rights to clean air and a
healthy environment, guaranteed by the Green Amendment, is being violated as a result of the
actions or inactions on the part of the Respondents Planning Board and Town in regard to
When the Green Amendment was approved and adopted by the voters, despite the
existing laws, regulations, and policies, it conveyed a fundamental right to clean air, water, and a
healthful environment to the citizens of the State. Essentially, the voters determined that the
existing laws, regulations and policies were insufficient to protect the State’s air, water, and

The courts mandate “literal” or “strict compliance” with the SEQRA process, and
“substantial compliance” has been held insufficient (King v. Saratoga Board of Supervisors, 89

All “actions,” including all “projects or physical activities” that are undertaken, funded or
approved by an agency, and planning, policymaking, and enactment of laws, rules or regulations,

SEQRA unless a federal EIS is compiled. 6 NYCRR § 617.15. Conditional Site Plan Approval is
an action that is ripe for judicial review for non-compliance with SEQRA (Johnston v Town Bd.

designation of lead agency is improper (Ferrari v. Town of Penfield Planning Board, 181 A.D.2d

coordinated in that not all involved agencies received all necessary information from the project
sponsor, lead agency and other involved and interested agencies and the public.
Here other involved agencies were not included in the designation process, if such
process was authorized by Respondent Planning Board. Namely, the New York State
Department of Transportation which Respondent Canisius failed to list on its EAF (Exhibits “4”
& “17”).

environmental impact.” (§ 617.7(a)(1); see West Branch Assoc. v. Planning Board, Town of

Respondent Planning Board failed to take the requisite hard look at the water issues,

In this case Respondent Planning Board failed to consider the cumulative impacts of
Respondent Town’s actions such as the Lexington Green berm action and the larger plan that it is

Respondent Town also is engaging in improper segmentation in not considering the full
scope of its action. SEQRA generally prohibits “segmentation,” which is defined as “the

Segmentation can be found in two contexts: (1) where a proposed action has significant
environmental impact requiring the preparation of an EIS but the agency attempts to divide it
into smaller projects that do not require an EIS; and (2) where a proposed action entails different
projects at different times and the agency excludes one project in order to evade SEQRA review
and the preparation of a separate EIS (see Gerrard, Ruzow &Weinberg. Environmental Impact
Review in New York; § 5.02 [1), Matthew Bender & Company (1993); see also Matter of Long
Is. Pine Barrens Socy, v Planning Bd. of Town of Brookhaven., 204 A.D.2d 548 [2d Dept 1994)).
There is nothing indicating that Respondents made any finding that it believed that
circumstances warranted a segmented review because nowhere did it “clearly state in its
determination of significance, and any subsequent EIS, the supporting reasons and must
demonstrate that such review is clearly no less protective of the environment. Related actions
should be identified and discussed to the fullest extent possible.” (6 NYCRR § 617.3(g)(1)).
“The threshold at which the requirement that an EIS be prepared is triggered relatively
low.” (Chinese Staff v. City of New York, 68 N.Y.2d 354 (1986)). When a Type I action is
involved, the threshold for an EIS is especially low, since Type I actions “are more likely to
require the preparation of an EIS” than other actions (6 NYCRR § 617.4(a); see also

the land. The athletic field cannot be considered an accessory use to a school because
Respondent Canisius does not intend to build a school on the property that will be the principal

The Appellate Division Second Department has held that “[w]hile an educational use
may not be wholly excluded from a residential district ( Matter of New York Inst. of Technology
v Le Boutillier, 33 N.Y.2d 125, 130), case law in this State reveals that the concept of
"educational use" does not include activities which are primarily recreational in nature (see,
Matter of Schoen v Bowne, 298 N.Y. 611, affg 273 App Div 1020; Matter of 4M Club v
Andrews, 11 A.D.2d 720; 12 NY Jur 2d, Buildings, Zoning, and Land Controls, § 179, at 178).
Moreover, it has been held that instructional programs involving classes in ceramics and
horsemanship are not educational in nature ( Matter of Schweizer v Board of Zoning Appeals, 8
Misc 2d 878; Village of E. Hampton v Mulford, 188 Misc 1037; see also, Matter of Donegan v
Griffin, 270 App Div 937 [where an order granting a variance for a limited time to permit the
operation, on property in a residential zone, of a riding academy was reversed on the ground that
the record failed to disclose adequate facts for the determination]). More recently, courts have
recognized, albeit in dictum, that the activities of a riding academy are not educational in nature
(see, Matter of Imbergamo v Barclay, 77 Misc 2d 188, 191-192; Incorporated Vil. of Muttontown
v Friscia, 58 Misc2d 912, 913). Such instruction does not constitute a school in the sense
intended by the use of that term in zoning regulations, where the emphasis is on the academic
rather than the recreational (1 Anderson, New York Zoning Law and Practice §§ 11.17, 11.19

The failure of the Planning Board to detail its findings and analysis in reaching its
decision renders its decision arbitrary and capricious. “[J]udicial review of administrative
determinations is generally limited to the reasons provided by the agency and to the facts and
record adduced before the agency” (Matter of Hutchinson v Annucci, 189 A.D.3d 1850, 1854
[2020]; see Matter of National Fuel Gas Distrib. Corp. v Public Serv. Commn. of the State of
N.Y., 16 N.Y.3d 360, 368 [2011]; see also Matter of Montauk Improvement v Proccacino, 41
N.Y.2d 913, 914 [1977]). However, an unsupported determination cannot stand. “Absent a
predicate in the proof to be found in the record, an unsupported determination must be set aside
as without rational basis and wholly arbitrary” (Metropolitan Taxicab Bd. of Trade v New York
City Taxi & Limousine Commn., 18 N.Y.3d 329, 334 [2011] [internal quotation marks, brackets,
ellipses and citations omitted]). There is nothing in the minutes of Respondent Planning Board
A decision of an administrative agency which neither adheres to its own prior precedent
nor indicates its reasons for reaching a different result on essentially the same facts is arbitrary
and capricious" ( Matter of Tall Trees Constr. Corp. v. Zoning Bd. of Appeals of Town of

A. Field Delivery Serv. [Roberts], 66 N.Y.2d 516, 520 [1985] ). This mandates reversal, even if
there may otherwise be evidence in the record sufficient to support the determination (Hamptons,
LLC v. Zoning Board of Appeals of Incorporated Village of East Hampton, 98 A.D.3d 738, 739
[2012] [internal quotation marks omitted]). There is nothing in the administrative record that

The Open Meetings Law is designed to ensure that public business is conducted in an
observable manner; to promote this goal, the provisions of the Open Meetings Law are to be
liberally construed (see, Matter of Gordon v Village of Monticello, 87 N.Y.2d 124, 126-127).
“Every meeting of a public body shall be open to the general public, except that an executive
session of such body may be called and business transacted thereat in accordance with [section
105]” (Public Officers Law § 103 [a]). At such an executive session, i.e., “that portion of a
meeting not open to the general public” (Public Officers Law § 102 [3]), the topics that may be
discussed are circumscribed by statute and include matters involving public safety, proposed,
pending or current litigation, collective bargaining, and matters concerning the appointment or
employment status of a particular person (Public Officers Law § 105 [1]). The purpose of the
Open Meetings Law is to prevent public bodies from debating and deciding in private matters
that they are required to debate and decide in public, i.e., “deliberations and decisions that go
into the making of public policy” (Matter of Sciolino v Ryan, 81 A.D.2d 475, 477 [1981]; see
Matter of Gordon v Village of Monticello, 87 N.Y.2d 124, 126-127 [1995], revg 207 A.D.2d 55
[1994] insofar as appealed from on other grounds). In this case, Respondent Planning Board
violated the Open Meetings Law after being advised of its obligations by failing to provide the
materials required by POL § 103[e]. Given the overriding purpose of the Open Meetings Law,
section 103[e] is to be liberally construed, and the proffered excuse of not providing these
materials will be carefully scrutinized “lest the . . . mandate [of the Open Meetings Law] be
thwarted by thinly veiled references to the areas delineated thereunder” (Daily Gazette Co. v

Upon a motion for a preliminary injunction, the party seeking the injunctive relief must
demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence: (1) “a probability of success on the merits;” (2)
“danger of irreparable injury in the absence of an injunction;” and (3) “a balance of equities in its
favor” (Nobu Next Door, LLC v Fine Arts Hous., Inc., 4 N.Y.3d 839, 840 [2005]; see Aetna Ins.

Beginning with the first criteria, “it is not for this court to determine finally the merits of

of a [c]ertainty of success” (Tucker v Toia, 54 A.D.2d at 326; see Cooperstown Capital, LLC v
To demonstrate a likelihood of success on the merits, it is sufficient for the moving party
to make a prima facie showing of his or her right to relief (see Gambar Enters. v Kelly Servs., 69
A.D.2d 297, 306 [4th Dept 1979]), and the actual proving of the case “should be left to the full
hearing on the merits” (Tucker v Toia, 54 A.D.2d 322, 326 [4th Dept 1976]). A reduced degree
of proof is sufficient when denial of injunctive relief would allow the defendant to proceed in a
manner that would render the final judgment ineffectual. (Schlosser v. United Presbyterian
In conjunction with likelihood of success, the existence of factual disputes in the record
does not necessarily preclude the issuance of preliminary injunctive relief, which would preserve
the status quo and result in no harm or prejudice to the enjoined party (see, Melvin v. Union
College, 195 A.D.2d 447, 448 (2nd Dept 1993); Preferred Equities Corp. v. Ziegelman, 155
A.D.2d 424, 426 (2nd Dept 1989); Mr. Natural v. Unadulterated Food Prods., 152 A.D.2d 729,
730 (2nd Dept 1989); CPLR § 6312(c); Council of NYC v. Giuliani, 248 A.D.2d 1 (1st Dept
1998)).
It must also be noted that the moving party need not demonstrate a likelihood of success
with respect to all causes of action (see e.g. Butt v Malik, 106 A.D.3d 849, 850 [2013]).

environment, important to Petitioner and the community, and a constitutional right under the
Green Amendment, would be lost. Petitioner, and the community, will suffer immediate and
irreparable injury in that the environment will be irrevocably altered without appropriate review
and mitigation if an injunction is not issued preventing Respondent Canisius from any
construction or other activities on the Subject Parcel pending the hearing and determination of
the status quo and Petitioner’s constitutional right under the Green Amendment for a limited time
for this summary proceeding to be decided on its merits. Petitioner has established that failure to
preserve the status quo would result in deprivation of its constitutional right to due process.
Petitioner asserts that it would be a denial of Due Process of Law pursuant to the U.S.
Constitution (People v. Novak, 30 N.Y.3d 222; People v. Harrison, 27 N.Y.3d 281, 286 [2016]).
BALANCE OF EQUITIES
To satisfy the third prong of the preliminary injunction standard, the movant must
establish that the injury it would sustain is more burdensome to it than the harm that would be
caused to the non-movant through the imposition of the injunction (Winter Bros. Recycling Corp.
v. Jet Sanitation Serv. Corp., 23 Misc. 3d 1115[A], 2009 NY Slip Op. 50753[U] (Sup. Ct.
Nassau County Mar. 13, 2009); Fischer v. Deitsch, 168 A.D.2d 599, 601 (2d Dept. 1990)).
On the other hand, Respondent Canisius will not suffer any injury by waiting to construct
its expanded athletic fields that it has already put off for approximately 15 years. Strongly
tipping the scales in favor of the preliminary injunction is the necessity of preserving Petitioner's
Under these circumstances, a balancing of the equities weighs heavily in favor of the

N.Y.2d 165 (2002); Griffin v. Illinois, 351 U.S. 12, 18; Matter of Mitchell, 40 N.Y.2d 153, 157
(1976)).
UNDERTAKING
CPLR § 6312(b) requires the movant to post a bond contemporaneously with the issuance
of a preliminary injunction order. The amount to be posted is a matter within the sound
discretion of the court (Lelekakis v. Kamamis, 303 A.D.2d 380, 380 (2d Dept. 2003)). However,
the amount of the undertaking must be rationally related to the amount of the non-movant’s
potential liability if the preliminary injunction later proves to be unwarranted. Id. at 381. The
purpose of the undertaking therefore is to secure for the non-movant the actual losses and costs –
not theoretical losses, “if it is later finally determined that the preliminary injunction was
erroneously granted.” Id. at 380. Mere conclusory assertions of potential monetary loss are
insufficient to justify anything more than a minimal bond (7th Sense, Inc. v. Liu, 220 A.D.2d
The federal courts in similar cases under the National Environmental Protection Act,
have regularly recognized the special role that petitioners play in upholding these rights.
Furthermore, since SEQRA was modeled after NEPA, it has long been held that NEPA cases
provide appropriate precedents for SEQRA Law (See, e.g., Branch Assocs. v. Department of
Environmental Conservation, 146 Misc.2d 334 (Sup. Ct. Albany 1989); Glenhead-Glenwood
Landing Civic Council, Inc. v. Town Oyster Bay, 109 Misc.2d 376, 387 (Sup. Ct. Nassau Co.,
1981), aff’d 88 A.D.2d 484 (2nd Dept. 1982) (The court "looked to the federal courts for
guidance"); Ecology Action v. Van Cort, 99 Misc.2d 664, 667 (Sup. Ct. Tompkins Co., 1979)

NYSCEF DOC. NO. 35 RECEIVED NYSCEF: 08/12/2022
The West Seneca Planning Board approved the expansion of the Robert J. Stransky
Memorial Athletic Complex just over a year ago, but a resident who lives near the
complex challenged the decision.
Daniel Warren maintained the Planning Board did not adhere to state environmental
law, and a state court ruling sent the plans back to the Planning Board.
Warren wanted the board to issue a declaration that the project could have significant
environmental impacts, which would trigger a lengthy environmental review.
The Planning Board last month determined the project will have no adverse impacts.

On Thursday, the Planning Board approved the site plan. On Friday, Warren filed
new legal papers asking the State Supreme Court to declare all actions taken by
Planning Board on Canisius’ application for site plan review to be null and void.
Canisius wants to construct one artificial turf varsity field and one junior varsity field.
Plans call for four dugouts, bleachers, a batting cage and a press box.
Edward Cosgrove, attorney for Canisius, said construction should start "as soon as
possible, by the end of this month."

Counselors,
I see that there is construction equipment on the subject property. This leads me to believe that construction is either
imminent before this matter is to be heard or is already underway. If I don't receive your assurance that such is not the
case and no construction will be undertaken until this matter is decided by the close of business today, I will request a
conference with the Court to discuss a TRO and expedited briefing and hearing schedule.
Yours,
Dan Warren
Due to other pressing matters, I am not agreeable to expediting this matter and will adhere to the Court’s schedule.

Mr. Warren:
This will acknowledge receipt of your e-mail sent to our office this morning with respect to your
Order to Show Cause filed on July 18, 2022, and signed by the Hon. Mark J. Grisanti, J.S.C., on
that date. I understand that a separate copy of this morning’s e-mail was sent to Christopher G.
Trapp, Esq., who represents my client’s co-respondents, Town of West Seneca and Planning
Board.
My office is also in receipt of Mr. Trapp’s e-mail response sent to you earlier today. I join with Mr.
Trapp in noting that your prior request for a temporary restraining order was denied by Justice
Grisanti. I will oppose any request made to the Court for a conference and an expedited
scheduling order on that ground, and because my office has already scheduled work for other of
our clients around the due dates set forth in Justice Grisanti’s Order.

DANIEL T. WARREN,
Petitioner AFFIRMATION
-against- 808016/2022
Respondents
He is an attorney duly licensed to practice in the State of New York and is a member of
Greco Trapp, PLLC, attorneys for the Town of West Seneca. He is also the Attorney for the
Town having been so appointed on January 3, 2022. By reason of his association with this
matter, he is fully familiar with the facts and circumstances contained herein. He is also counsel
to the Planning Board of the Town of West Seneca and has had an opportunity to review the
submissions relative to this matter and all of the files of the Town.
This affirmation is made in opposition to the Order to Show Cause filed in this matter. It
is respectfully submitted that contrary to the assertions of the Petitioner, while Petitioner does
own property in the Town, by virtue of the allegations in the Petition, the Petitioner's property is
not located in a Federal Wetland area, is outside of any 100 year floodplain (Petition paragraph
29), and not located within even a half a mile from the Project area. Copies of the maps
showing the relevant locations of the properties is hereto attached as Exhibit A. As can be seen

from the maps, the Petitioner's property is located in a subdivision well south of the Project area
and even on the other side of Buffalo Creek. While Petitioner contends that it is approximately
2000 feet away from the Canisius property (Petition paragraph 26), the scale on the map
indicates that it is quite a bit further away. Interestingly, in an earlier iteration of this case,
Petitioner said that he was 2500 feet from the Canisius property. (Index No. 809040/2021,
Docket No.1, Paragraph 10). It appears that his house has moved.
Petitioner also goes to great lengths to provide the Court and the parties with a history of
the area through old newspaper accounts and old reports relative to the general area around
Canisius and Lexington Green. What he neglects to advise the Court is what happened in the
prior action and the determination by the Appellate Division. The only action in which it could
be argued that Petitioner prevailed was the action immediately proceeding this latest filing
where the Hon. Donna Siwek, J.S.C. remanded the matter to the Planning Board for further
proceedings consistent with the directives of that court on the issue of the process undertaken by
the Planning Board. As described in the accompanying affidavits, those procedural issues were

basement and on his property which is part of a subdivision. Therefore, it cannot be argued that
Petitioner conveniently throws in statements about Federal wetlands, and every other
piece of property in the area (e.g., Oxbow), but is forced to admit in the same statement that the
Project area is not within any wetlands, and by extension, neither is Petitioner's property. The
reason that these allegations are made, it is submitted, is an attempt to raise an issue by using
terms which are otherwise irrelevant in an effort to confuse the Court and opposing counsel.
Being close is not the same as being within and the use of such allegations is an attempt to be
misleading. This is a similar tactic that Petitioner has used in other litigation involving the Town
involving another project that is not located anywhere near his house although it is argued that
similar potential damages could occur. Even now, Petitioner argues that Buffalo Creek is a
Federal waterway, when, in reality, it is the Buffalo River, not Buffalo Creek.
While normally such other matter would not be relevant for purposes of these
proceedings, Petitioner has asked for costs and disbursements be awarded to him in this action.
The Town believes that Petitioner's actions warrant a finding that he has engaged in frivolous
litigation thus warranting the issuance of sanctions against Petitioner especially since it is clear
that the Town has undertaken the proper project review. While it is conceded that Petitioner is
not admitted to practice law in this state and thus more latitude is granted pro se plaintiffs, we
are herein dealing with a claim against a municipal corporation and funds being expended that
come from the taxpayers that are being used to defend claims that, like the other pending case,
have no basis in fact or law and lack the presentation of any supporting evidence. Petitioner is
well acquainted with litigation having sued virtually every form of government at the local,
County, State, and Federal level. He is a litigation machine that seeks to have municipal funds

expended in the defense of cases even where he has no standing to pursue them. It is
respectfully submitted that he sues for the sake of the notoriety and almost as a hobby.
Those potential claims are set forth in the Petition. Petitioner does not state, and indeed
cannot allege, that his property has been damaged by virtue of any action by either the Town or
the co-respondent Canisius High School. It cannot be shown because nothing has happened that
is any different than what existed prior to any construction. Petitioner is seeking the Court to
issue an anticipatory ruling when no justiciable controversy exists. Petitioner has not alleged
that the Canisius athletic fields that already exist at the Project area have damaged his property,
only that if the Project is allowed to be built, it will negatively impact the environment on his
property and he will be compelled to expend money. Other than his bland, unsubstantiated
statements, there is no evidence that either the property will be affected or that any damages will

the need for injunctive relief, but those conclusory statements are unsupported by any expert
reports.
What is included are studies and documents galore about the area in general without any
specific reference to Petitioner's property. Many of the documents are fifteen or more years old
and it is clear that Petitioner is arguing that the Canisius project from years ago should never

have been approved. The time to challenge that has long since expired and something that the
Petitioner already tried to argue in a prior action. How many bites at the same apple will he be
permitted to take?
More specifically, Petitioner raises multiple causes of action with respect to the Town of
West Seneca and the Planning Board. In the first cause of action, Petitioner argues that a
quorum was not present for purposes of the meetings. Such a statement, however, is in direct
contradiction to the meeting minutes which clearly show that a majority of the Board was
present for each meeting. Furthermore, as set forth in the accompanying affidavit of the Code
Enforcement Officer, even though every possible agency and other body that might have
challenged a determination of lead agency status (e.g., Army Corps of Engineers, County of
Erie, Department of Environmental Conservation, SHPO, etc.) were notified of the proceedings,
not one other agency challenged either the determination or the submission by the Town as lead
agency. As an individual, that right to act as lead agency does not fall to Petitioner.
Furthermore, Petitioner claims that the Planning Board violated General Construction
Law 41 by acting as the lead agency on the project for SEQRA purposes. Petitioner's argument
is unmeritorious. Petitioner incorrectly argues that the Planning Board could not act as the lead
agency for the project without voting to do so. 6 NYCRR 617.6(b)(1), titled "Establishing lead
agency,"
says that "When a single agency is involved, that agency will be the lead agency when
it proposes to undertake, fund or approve a Type I or Unlisted action that does not involve

Petitioner's argument that the Planning Board is an illegitimate lead agency because they
did not take a vote to appoint a lead agency for the project lacks merit and is not supported by
statute or case law. The statutes cited by petitioner say nothing of a voting requirement to
Petitioner also argues that the Code Enforcement Officer, on behalf of the Planning
Board and the individual responsible for submission of all documents to related agencies and as
the individual to whom filings are made, lacks the authority to do his job. Such a statement
lacks any credibility. Relatedly, Petitioner argues without any evidence in support of his
statements that the Town did not supply the documents to the appropriate agencies and the
County contrary to the sworn affidavit of the Code Enforcement Officer. Petitioner has no
personal knowledge of what was done and his contrary statements cannot be accepted as fact
Petitioner also falsely states in paragraph 163 that the Planning Board "acted without

jurisdiction in granting conditional site plan approval on June 9, even though he was
present at that meeting and the Planning Board did not give site plan approval, but rather, only
dealt with the SEQR findings which were extensively placed in the record. As set forth in the
accompanying affidavit from the Code Enforcement Officer, site plan approval was not given
until over a month later and after a third referral under GML 239-m was made to the County of
Erie. This is simply one example of Petitioner's creativity with the facts.
In the third cause of action, Petitioner falsely states that the action is one of segmentation
which is unmeritorious. Adding onto property ten years later with a new project that has been

fully vetted over the course of over a year is not segmentation as argued by the Petitioner. All
of Petitioner's letters were recognized and considered with all of the documents he supplied.
All of the agencies were notified and some either responded or chose not to respond on the basis
that they had no comments with regard to the project. To therefore argue that a hard look was
not undertaken by the Planning Board is simply disingenuous on the part of Petitioner. What is
really the issue is that the Planning Board simply did not agree with Petitioner after careful
study.
In another blatant misrepresentation, Petitioner states in paragraph 180 that the "New
Board"
York State Department of Transportation was not involved by the Planning in the
process. As set forth in the affidavit of Jeffrey Schieber, the NYS DOT was notified of the
proceedings. What makes this statement even more shocking is the fact that Petitioner was
aware of that fact from the prior court case where the list of agencies which received notice
For the fourth cause of action, Petitioner argues that the property should be re-zoned or a
use variance obtained prior to the approval of a site plan. The basis for this claim is peculiar
since the rest of the property owned by Canisius has been previously approved for and
consistently used as athletic fields. How the addition of baseball fields to the property is
different from its current and rather consistent use is puzzling at best. This is again another
attempt by Petitioner to raise an extremely late challenge to what was done over a decade ago.
In an attempt to ignore that fact, Petitioner incorrectly argues that the addition of the baseball
fields is the expansion of a non-conforming use which is not permitted under the Town Code.
While the Planning Board did consider the addition of the fields, the Code Enforcement Officer
interpreted the code as allowing this use especially since the section of the code upon which

Petitioner attempts to rely deals with the square footage of a building which simply does not
Questions of interpretation of the Code rest first with the Code Enforcement Officer and
questions of interpretation are sought from the Zoning Board of Appeals only upon a request of
the applicant (i.e., Canisius) in the event of a denial of action by the CEO or at the request of the
CEO if there is a question of the meaning of certain language. Petitioner has no standing to
demand that the ZBA interpret a provision that no one other than the Petitioner has questioned.
With all due respect to the Court, in light of the mere length of the Petition and the fact
that Petitioner has challenged the Canisius project on multiple occasions over the years, a bit of
frustration with the misstatements and volume of unnecessary documents submitted solely for
the purposes of hoping that if enough paper is submitted a question of fact will be created,
exists. Added onto this is the fact that although a motion was previously made for a TRO which
was correctly denied, Petitioner still sought to move this matter up by a month which further
limited the time for a response to the 281 allegations in the Petition. Since a minor medical
procedure had been scheduled for the undersigned which limited the response time even more,
having to deal with the baseless arguments of the Petitioner as set forth in the fifth cause of
action is disturbing. Petitioner argues that the Planning Board violated the Open Meetings Law
not by having a closed meeting, but rather by allegedly not having all documents available for
public review at least twenty-four hours in advance of the meeting. It should be noted that
many documents are received just prior to the meeting thereby negating their placement on the
website and other documents are simply physically too large to put on the website. In the case
of the Canisius project, most of the documents had been previously submitted and made part of
the record and available for public review from prior Board meetings. Many of these
documents were submitted by Petitioner. It is not a question of whether the public was

informed of the proceedings which took place over the course of over a year. For Petitioner, it
was simply a matter of trying to raise an objection after the fact for purposes of this current
challenge.
While it is conceded that the law does not require a member of the public to formally
"gotcha"
request the documents, it is also reasonable that it cannot be used as a moment as
Petitioner is attempting to do. If Petitioner had bothered to come to the meetings and ask for
documents or even raise the issue of the timeliness of their inclusion on the website anytime in
the fifteen months between when Canisius first came to the Planning Board until site plan
approval was given, then he could have received duplicate copies of the same records which
were reviewed over a period of months. This is not a situation where a decision was made the
same night it was first presented, but rather something that was debated and discussed and
reviewed well over a year and at multiple meetings where the public was present. The purpose
of the statute is to provide transparency and an opportunity for the public to hear and comment

Petitioner also erroneously claims that the Planning Board violated Article 7 of Public

Conservation Law, which includes eight sections, most with numerous additional subsections,

Petitioner claims they say. Again, Petitioner cannot identify a single part of any of the authorities
he cites that supports his argument. Throughout the entirety of his Petition, Petitioner seemed to
employ a strategy of throwing everything against the wall in hopes that something would stick.
As a practical matter, however, the Planning Board issued a SEQR determination only
after a careful and thorough review of the matter sixteen months after the request was first filed
by Canisius, and no site plan approval was granted until more than a month later and only after
the County had received the information for the project and responded for a third time.

may occur. While Petitioner admits that "it is unknown what role, if any, the groundwater

Buffalo Creek or exist anywhere near the Project area. Petitioner seeks to obtain a decision
based upon speculation about something that has not happened to him and attaches unrelated

Based upon that review, my professional opinion is that the berm project has no bearing
on the performance or design of the site plan for the Canisius project.
Petitioner has also attempted to raise additional arguments with respect to the Oxbow
property which deals with Buffalo Creek. Upon a review of that matter as it pertains to the
Canisius project, it is my professional opinion that any reference to the Oxbow property has been
done solely to interject a new parcel of land into the equation by Petitioner in an attempt to raise
an argument to justify his allegations, allegations which are not presented by a licensed engineer.
Based on the drawings provided by the developer's engineer and their calculations, the
stormwater facilities that are being provided as designed for the Canisius project will retain
stormwater and release it at a rate that is equal to or less than current pre-development runoff
rates. In addition, the co-Respondent is providing cuts that are greater than fills to make the
flood plain larger on their site. Canisius is not doing any work downstream and given their
runoff rates which will be less than or equal to pre-development, the design tells us that it will
not affect the downstream area such as the oxbow. Therefore, any reference to the Oxbow
property by Petitioner is misplaced since it will have no effect on anything related to the Canisius
project and the Canisius project will not affect anything related to the Oxbow property.

As the consulting Town Engineer for the Town of West Seneca we have reviewed the letter dated June 23,
2022, from Daniel T. Warren to the Planning Board. Mr. Warren articulates concern of the Town berm project
as it relates to the Canisius high school project. The berm project has no bearing on the performance or design
of the site plan for the high school project. The high school project has designed their stormwater to be above
the flood plain and only will release water once water flows in the Buffalo Creek recede to pre-storm water
elevations. The ponds are sized to hold back the volume of water necessary, and the outfall has a check valve
in it to not allow flood waters to enter the high school pond. The existing berms being relocated are not
designed for flood control, only to direct broken up ice dams from entering the Lexington Green neighborhood.
The 100-year flood plain will allow water to flow around/above the berms.

The gravamen of the Court's prior decision was that the first determination from the
Town Planning Board violated West Seneca Town Code 102-7 inasmuch as the Planning Board
made a decision on site plan approval prior to an appropriate environmental review. In response
to that decision, the Planning Board for the Town of West Seneca at its regular meeting of May
12, 2022 amended the prior minutes effectively negating the prior conditional negative
declaration. A copy of the relevant portion of those Board minutes is hereto attached as Exhibit
A.
The Planning Board next met on June 9, 2022 at which time the Canisius project was
once again submitted for review by the Planning Board. Your deponent outlined the various
steps taken by the Code Enforcement/Building Department as part of the review process prior to
the matter being placed before the Planning Board. Set forth within the minutes was the
description of each step taken in the process and the documents which were received including
an acknowledgement from the County Department of Planning with respect to the SEQR
process. As part of the environmental review process, the issues raised by the Petitioner were
basis. Mr. Frick specifically referred to each letter forwarded to the Planning Board by
Petitioner and responded to each concern that was raised. A copy of that document is hereto
attached as Exhibit B. It should be noted for the record that Petitioner chose to not personally
attend those earlier meetings (he only attended the June 9, 2022 meeting but sat silent even when
given an opportunity to speak) nor personally address the Board or make any further comments
at any meeting on the record even though it was a meeting held and duly noticed as a public

At that same meeting, the Planning Board after previously moving itself as lead agency, a
determination of which has never been challenged by any other entity legally able to seek such
status, moved and approved a motion to adopt a SEQR Negative Declaration with respect to the
Canisius project. A copy of the relevant portions of those minutes are hereto attached as Exhibit
C. Based upon the discussion at the meeting as referred to in the minutes, it cannot be
reasonably argued that a thorough and studied review of the materials and environmental issues
was not undertaken by the Planning Board. The Board specifically did not approve any site plan
at that time and, instead, the matter was referred a third time to the Erie County Department of
Environment and Planning for consideration pursuant to General Municipal Law section 239-m.
As part of that referral to the County, your deponent not only sent over all of the
documents described in the aforementioned minutes, but also the SEQR determinations and
documents which were generated as part of the full environmental review process. Pursuant to
subdivision 2 of that law and in conformance with the prior judicial decision, such referral was
The prior Court also took specific note of West Seneca Town Code section 102-7 that
"all site plan proposals require appropriate environmental reviews in accordance with the State
Environmental Quality Review Act or SEQRA before any action is taken by the Planning
Board."
(Decision of Hon. Donna Siwek, p. 27). The prior Court noted that that was not the
sequence previously undertaken in the Town and thus that prior decision by the Planning Board
was vacated and the matter remanded for further proceedings consistent with that determination.
In light of that directive, your deponent personally forwarded all of the prior submissions to the
County for review in addition to the most recent determination by the Planning Board on SEQR.
This was done after the Planning Board had assumed lead agency status at the beginning of the

process. A copy of one of the forwarding letters as an example in that regard is hereto attached
as Exhibit D. Therefore, consistent with the Court's prior ruling and Town Law section 274-a(9),
the County was put on notice as part of the referral and supplied with all of the materials on a

At the next meeting of the Planning Board on July 14, 2022, more than thirty (30) days
after the last Planning Board meeting, your deponent notified the Planning Board that the County
had acknowledged receipt of the documents and information and that in two emails advised the
Town that they had no further comment with respect to the project. Copies of those emails are
hereto attached as Exhibit F. At that time, all necessary agencies, departments, and engineering
reviews had been completed, including the last one raised by Petitioner with respect to the
Lexington Green berm work which is discussed further in the accompanying affidavit from the
Town's independent engineer. In light of the foregoing, the Planning Board then approved the
site plan with respect to the Canisius project. A copy of the relevant portion of the Planning
Board minutes is hereto attached as Exhibit G. Petitioner, as was the case previously, chose not
to attend the public meeting or comment further other than to later file another proceeding
seeking to stop the project once again which he had advised the prior Court that he would do if
the project proceeded regardless of the process followed by the Town as relayed to your
deponent by counsel.

any factual basis, of reasons why the Canisius project would negatively impact him. While the

departments that are specifically entrusted and designed by statute to review these issues.

Petitioner also attempts to argue that the fact that other agencies have not released
documents to Petitioner as evidence that the documents were not sent. Your deponent personally
sent all the required documents and materials relevant to each entity and specifically put a copy
of all of the documents on a flash drive that was sent to the Erie County Department of
Environment and Planning, not once, but twice. Whether those documents were printed out by
the County is unknown as is what they provided to Petitioner. All that can be said is that they
were sent to the County personally by your deponent. Your deponent also sent the appropriate
and applicable information about the project to the following entities for review and comment:
NYS DOT, DEC, Army Corp of Engineers, Erie County Sewer District 1, the respective fire
department, Erie County Department of Environment and Planning, the Town Environmental
Commission, NY State Office of Historic Preservation (SHPO), and the Town Engineer. What
any of those agencies shared with Petitioner not only is unknown, but not binding on this
Respondent. Your deponent is not responsible for what someone else supplies to Petitioner, only

Petitioner also goes to great lengths to argue that the meeting at which the approvals were
given were improper because allegedly certain information was not provided to the public in
advance. It is noteworthy that not only has Petitioner attended only one meeting in person in
over a year that this matter was pending before the Planning Board, but that he has also never
asked for copies of anything while attending that solo meeting. The dates for all of the meetings
are posted well in advance on the Town website and Petitioner has not availed himself of asking
for copies of anything in advance. All of his numerous and voluminous FOIL requests are made
later after action has been taken, not before. He has also not previously raised this concem
directly with the Planning Board or this office and instead has waited until he files multiple
motions and cases against the Town raising the issue as a basis for reversing Town decisions. It
is respectfully submitted that this is not a matter of public participation in the decision making
process but rather a matter of control of the outcome after the fact.
WHEREFORE, your deponent respectfully urges that the Court deny Petitioner's relief as
requested in its entirety together with such other and further relief as may be just and proper.

review this project, none of which took exception to the proposed action. Agencies
included: NYSDOT, USACE, NYSDEC, ECDPW, ECDEP, Town Engineer, and SHPO.
SHPO was the only agency that provided any requirements during construction.
6. The use of pesticides to maintain the natural grass areas will be partially mitigated
by the detention structure and are not significantly different if this property was used for
a residential development.
7. The Planning Board has reviewed all available information and has determined
that no significant environmental impact will occur from this project.
8. The physical alterations contemplated under this project do not significantly alter
the land composition to result in an adverse environmental impact.

Pursuant to New York General Municipal Law Section 239-m, the County of Erie (the "County") has
reviewed the above-referenced project (the "Project") referred to us by the Town of West Seneca (the
9th 2022.
"Town") on May The Department of Environment and Planning offers the following comments
based upon its review of the Project:
" The Town may wish to follow the recommendations of NYS Department of Environmental
Conservation's Resilient New York Flood Mitigation Initiative for the Buffalo Creek to reduce
overall flooding conditions in the area. This report can be found at:
https://www.dec.ny.gov/does/water pdf/buffereekfinal.pdf
This review pertains to the above-referenced referral submitted to the Erie County Department of
Environment and Planning. This letter should not be considered sufficient for any county approvals. The
Town must still obtain any other permits and regulatory approvals applicable to this Project. Please send
all final decisions to Erie County's Department of Environment and Planning in accordance to GML 239-

A request from Brad Vaillancourt c/o Canisius High School for site plan approval for property located at 2885
Clinton Street for construction of an athletic complex with all related site improvements.
Mr. Vaillancourt stated Canisius High School is present tonight for final site plan approval. Since the last meeting
Erie County has signed off on the SEQR. Also, the Town Engineer has reviewed and approved the Canisius and
Lexington Green project.
Code Enforcement Officer Jeffrey Schieber stated at the last Planning Board meeting a negative SEQR declaration
was approved pursuant to the project. The meeting minutes, a new 239-M form, as well as all previous approvals
relevant to the project were resubmitted to Erie County. Erie County acknowledged receipt of the documents

and provided two emails stating the SEQR process has closed. Erie County does not speak on behalf of any
other agency relative to a highway work permit. In addition, the Town Engineer has responded to the questions,
comments, and concerns raised by residents that were based on the Lexington Green development and has
provided a letter explaining what will take place at Lexington Green relative to berm work. The letter states the
project at Lexington Green will have no effect on Canisius and Canisius will have no effect on the Lexington
Green project.
Chairperson Bebak questioned if Mr. Warren's recent letter was answered by the Town Engineer's statement
that there is no impact. Mr. Schieber stated the letter received from the Town Engineer was in direct response
to the letter from Mr. Warren.
Mr. Frick stated the letter from Mr. Warren requests the Planning Board rescind the negative declaration;
however, there is no reason to do this. Mr. Frick believes the Planning Board should continue with the site plan
approval process.
Mr. McCabe stated it is his understanding the facilities are expanding but the parking areas are not expanding.
Mr. Vaillancourt stated this is correct. Mr. McCabe stated the expansion of the facilities is basically baseball
diamonds and the use is seasonal, dependent on sports. Mr. Vaillancourt stated this is correct. The reason
there is no increase in the parking area is because the use is targeted to specific sports and specific seasons.
Motion by Bebak, seconded by Frick, based on the prior issued negative SEQR declaration and the proper posting
of the declaration, to approve site plan approval for property located at 2885 Clinton Street for construction of
an athletic complex with all related site improvements.

(NYSCEF #43. 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, and 55) should not be considered.
Additionally, they should not be permitted to present any oral argument on this motion. Also,
these affidavits fail to comply with 22 NYCRR § 202.8-b in that they lack the required
certification.
The affidavits of J. Michael Lennon Esq. (NYSCEF #41) and Chris G. Trapp, Esq.
(NYSCEF #43) should not be considered because an affidavit by an attorney who has no
personal knowledge of the pertinent facts lacks probative value (PPO Indus. v. AO.P. Svs., 235
AD.2d 979 (3d Dep't 1997)). These affidavits also fail to comply with 22 NYCRR § 202.8-b in
Upon a motion for a preliminary injunction, the party seeking the injunctive relief must
demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence: (1) “a probability of success on the merits;” (2)
“danger of irreparable injury in the absence of an injunction;” and (3) “a balance of equities in its
favor” (Nobu Next Door, LLC v Fine Arts Hous., Inc., 4 N.Y.3d 839, 840 [2005]; see Aetna Ins.
Co. v Capasso, 75 N.Y.2d 860, 862 [1990]; Destiny USA Holdings, LLC v Citigroup Global
Mkts. Realty Corp., 69 A.D.3d 212, 216 [4th Dept 2009]). The standard for a temporary
Beginning with the first criteria, “it is not for this court to determine finally the merits of
an action upon a motion for preliminary injunction; rather, the purpose of the interlocutory relief
is to preserve the [s]tatus quo until a decision is reached on the merits” (Tucker v Toia, 54

A.D.2d 322, 326 [1976]). To that end, “the showing of a [l]ikelihood of success on the merits
required before a preliminary injunction may be . . . issued must not be equated with the showing
of a [c]ertainty of success” (Tucker v Toia, 54 A.D.2d at 326; see Cooperstown Capital, LLC v
To demonstrate a likelihood of success on the merits, it is sufficient for the moving party
to make a prima facie showing of his or her right to relief (see Gambar Enters. v Kelly Servs., 69
A.D.2d 297, 306 [4th Dept 1979]), and the actual proving of the case “should be left to the full
hearing on the merits” (Tucker v Toia, 54 A.D.2d 322, 326 [4th Dept 1976]). A reduced degree
of proof is sufficient when, as here, denial of injunctive relief would allow the defendant to
proceed in a manner, as in this case, that would render the final judgment ineffectual. (Schlosser
In conjunction with likelihood of success, the existence of factual disputes in the record
does not necessarily preclude the issuance of preliminary injunctive relief, which would preserve
the status quo and result in no harm or prejudice to the enjoined party (see, Melvin v. Union
College, 195 A.D.2d 447, 448 (2nd Dept 1993); Preferred Equities Corp. v. Ziegelman, 155

730 (2nd Dept 1989); CPLR § 6312(c); Council of NYC v. Giuliani, 248 A.D.2d 1 (1st Dept
1998)).
It must also be noted that the moving party need not demonstrate a likelihood of success
with respect to all causes of action (see e.g. Butt v Malik, 106 A.D.3d 849, 850 [2013]).

This action is a Type I action under SEQRA which presumptively requires a positive

957 (4th Dep't 1994)). “The threshold at which the requirement that an EIS be prepared is
triggered relatively low.” (Chinese Staff v. City of New York, 68 N.Y.2d 354 (1986)). A “Type I

environment and will require an EIS." Miller v. City of Lockport, 210 A.D.2d 955, 957 (4th Dep't

Even if adequate grounds exist for the administrative determination, the determination
will be annulled if the grounds upon which it rests are inadequate or improper, or were not the
actual grounds relied upon. Judicial review of administrative determinations is limited to the
grounds invoked by the administrative body at the time of the decision (AVJ Realty Corp. v. New

IRREPARABLE INJURY
Without a preliminary injunction pending judicial review of this admirative decision, this
action would be moot and a valuable opportunity to assess this project’s effect on the
environment, important to Petitioner and the community, and a constitutional right under the
Green Amendment, would be lost. Petitioner, and the community, will suffer immediate and
irreparable injury in that the environment will be irrevocably altered without appropriate review
and mitigation if an injunction is not issued preventing Respondent Canisius from any
construction or other activities on the Subject Parcel pending the hearing and determination of
the status quo and Petitioner’s constitutional right under the Green Amendment for a limited time
for this summary proceeding to be decided on its merits. Petitioner has established that failure to
preserve the status quo would result in deprivation of its constitutional right to due process.
Petitioner asserts that it would be a denial of Due Process of Law pursuant to the U.S.
Constitution (People v. Novak, 30 N.Y.3d 222; People v. Harrison, 27 N.Y.3d 281, 286 [2016]).

the Pine Bush v City of Albany, 281 AD2d 832, 833; Matter of Save the Pine Bush v City Engr.
BALANCE OF EQUITIES
To satisfy the third prong of the preliminary injunction standard, the movant must
establish that the injury it would sustain is more burdensome to it than the harm that would be
caused to the non-movant through the imposition of the injunction (Winter Bros. Recycling Corp.
v. Jet Sanitation Serv. Corp., 23 Misc. 3d 1115[A], 2009 NY Slip Op. 50753[U] (Sup. Ct.
Nassau County Mar. 13, 2009); Fischer v. Deitsch, 168 A.D.2d 599, 601 (2d Dept. 1990)).
A temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction maintaining the status quo and
halting construction until this Court determine the merits of this proceeding will protect the
environment until a proper environmental review is had. Such will also preserve Petitioner’s
right to judicial review of the Respondent Planning Board’s actions. Such will be for a short

Respondent Canisius commenced construction when it new, or should have known, that a
challenge to the approval of its site plan approval had been commenced. First Respondent
challenged. This proceeding was commenced well within the statute of limitations which is
measured from the final decision on Respondent Canisius’ application for site plan review. Here
this occurred on July 14, 2022. This proceeding was required to be commenced within 30 days
(Town Law § 267-c). This proceeding was commenced on July 15, 2022 (NYSCEF #1).
Respondent Canisius was served with the Order to Show Cause, Verified Petition/Complaint,
and supporting Memorandum of Law on July 22, 2022 (NYSCEF # 26) and the building permit
Under these circumstances, a balancing of the equities weighs heavily in favor of the
Petitioner. (See, Matter of Dreikausen v. Zoning Bd. Of Appeals of City of Long Beach, 98
N.Y.2d 165 (2002); Griffin v. Illinois, 351 U.S. 12, 18; Matter of Mitchell, 40 N.Y.2d 153, 157
(1976)).
UNDERTAKING
CPLR § 6312(b) requires the movant to post a bond contemporaneously with the issuance
of a preliminary injunction order. The amount to be posted is a matter within the sound
discretion of the court (Lelekakis v. Kamamis, 303 A.D.2d 380, 380 (2d Dept. 2003)). However,
the amount of the undertaking must be rationally related to the amount of the non-movant’s
potential liability if the preliminary injunction later proves to be unwarranted. Id. at 381. The
purpose of the undertaking therefore is to secure for the non-movant the actual losses and costs –
not theoretical losses, “if it is later finally determined that the preliminary injunction was

erroneously granted.” Id. at 380. Mere conclusory assertions of potential monetary loss are
insufficient to justify anything more than a minimal bond (7th Sense, Inc. v. Liu, 220 A.D.2d
215, 217 (1st Dept. 1995)). Here Respondent Canisius has failed to come forward with any
The federal courts in similar cases under the National Environmental Protection Act,
have regularly recognized the special role that petitioners play in upholding these rights.
Furthermore, since SEQRA was modeled after NEPA, it has long been held that NEPA cases
provide appropriate precedents for SEQRA Law (See, e.g., Branch Assocs. v. Department of
Environmental Conservation, 146 Misc.2d 334 (Sup. Ct. Albany 1989); Glenhead-Glenwood
Landing Civic Council, Inc. v. Town Oyster Bay, 109 Misc.2d 376, 387 (Sup. Ct. Nassau Co.,
1981), aff’d 88 A.D.2d 484 (2nd Dept. 1982) (The court "looked to the federal courts for
guidance"); Ecology Action v. Van Cort, 99 Misc.2d 664, 667 (Sup. Ct. Tompkins Co., 1979)
(the federal decisions are relevant as SEQRA was closely patterned upon NEPA). See, e.g.,
Pharmaceutical Soc. of State of New York, Inc. v. New York State Dept. of Social Services, 50
F.3d 1168 (2nd Cir. 1995) (recognizing, in the context of the federal analogue (F.R.C.P. 65) to
CPLR § 6312, the public interest exception affirming the waiver of the requirement that the
movants post an undertaking)). The federal courts in NEPA cases have early on recognized the
special role that Petitioners play. Therefore, it has been stated that it "is common for courts in
particularly in NEPA cases to require little or no security". David Reisel, Temporary Restraining
Orders, Preliminary Injunction and in Environmental Litigation, 885 A.L.I.-A.B.A. 899, 955

Matthew Carver
Canisius High School

Buffalo, New York 14209
I have reviewed your request for a determination of “no permit required” for the parcel
located adjacent to the Robert J. Stransky Memorial Complex located at 2885 Clinton Street,
Town of West Seneca, Erie County, New York.
I have determined that the review area as depicted on Figure 3 of 4 is comprised entirely of
dry land and contains no potential aquatic resources regulated under Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899. Therefore, a Department of the
Army permit is not required for any activities occurring within the review area.
Enclosed is an approved JD. This approved JD will remain valid for a period of five (5)
years from the date of this correspondence unless new information warrants revision of the
approved JD before the expiration date. At the end of this period, a new aquatic resource
delineation will be required to support any request for a new JD.
Further, the delineation included herein has been conducted to identify the location and
extent of the aquatic resource boundaries and/or the jurisdictional status of aquatic resources for
purposes of the Clean Water Act for the particular review area identified in this request. This
delineation and/or jurisdictional determination may not be valid for the Wetland Conservation
Provisions of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended. If you or your tenant are United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA) program participants, or anticipate participation in USDA
programs, you should discuss the applicability of a certified wetland determination with the local
USDA service center, prior to starting work.
If you object to this determination, you may request an administrative appeal under Corps
regulations at 33 CFR Part 331. Enclosed you will find a Notification of Appeal Process (NAP)
fact sheet and Request for Appeal (RFA) form. If you request to appeal the above JD, you must
submit a completed RFA form within 60 days of the date on this letter to the Great Lakes/Ohio
River Division Office at the following address:

In order for an RFA to be accepted, the Corps must determine that it is complete; that it
meets the criteria for appeal under 33 CFR Part 331.5, and that it has been received by the
Division Office within 60 days of the date of the NAP. Should you decide to submit an RFA
form, it must be received at the above address by January 29, 2022.
It is not necessary to submit an RFA to the Division office if you do not object to the
determination in this letter.

A review of the available historic topographic maps and aerial imagery depict Buffalo Creek and an oxbow formation to the South
and West of the parcel. Also, the aerial imagery depicts wetlands to the West and South of the parcel. Finally, the aerial imagery
indicts the parcel that is under review is regularly maintained.
The NWI and NYSDEC Environmental Resource Mapper depicts a mapped wetland, BU-17, adjacent to the parcel under review.
Also, a portion of the parcel is located within the 100-foot adjacent area of the DEC wetland. Finally, the DEC reviewed the project
and confirmed the boundary of Wetland BU-17.
Determination: USACE confirmed that the review area is located within the 100-foot adjacent area and is comprised entirely of dry
land. There are no waters or water features, including wetlands, of any kind in the entire review area.

Town of West Seneca, Erie County. Archaeological monitoring at Locus 3 is the culmination of Phase I
archaeological survey, Phase II archaeological site evaluations, and subsequent selected mechanical
stripping that took place across the portion of Locus 3 / USN 02925.000562 (Canisius Site) located
outside the Avoidance Area. The Avoidance Area, as determined by Phase II site evaluations, is a 13,552
ft2 area within Locus 3 that will continue to be avoided. Short and long-term avoidance/protection plans for
the Avoidance Area will be submitted under separate file. Attachment A includes Project location maps
and a Locus 3 site map showing the Avoidance Area.
In consultation with the New York State Historic Preservation Office (NY SHPO) of the Office of Parks,
Recreation, and Historic Preservation (OPRHP), the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation
(DEC), Seneca Nation of Indians, and Tonawanda Seneca Nation archaeological monitoring was
requested while construction activities are carried out within Locus 3 (USN 02925.000562). Tetra Tech’s
work plan for performance of the requested archaeological monitoring is described below.
Tetra Tech has assembled a team for this Project with the professional capabilities and expertise to
design and implement any required archaeological investigations. The Project team includes Robert
Peltier, M.A. (Project Manager) and Robert Hanley, M.A. (Principal Investigator). Both archaeologists
meet OPRHP standards for consulting archaeologists as well as the Secretary of Interior’s Professional
Qualifications Standards (48 FR 44738-9). Archaeological investigations carried out for the Project have
been, and will continue to be, conducted in compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act of
1966, as amended; Executive Order 11593; the regulations of the Advisory Council on Historic
Preservation (36 Code of Federal Regulations 800); Section 14.09 of the New York State Parks,
Recreation and Historic Preservation Law of 1980; and the New York Archaeological Council’s Standards
for Cultural Resource Investigations and Curation of Collections (1994).

Fencing will be established and remain around the Avoidance Area until construction is completed. The
Avoided Area will be labeled “ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE – NO ACCESS” on all construction
plans.
Tetra Tech archaeologists will closely observe all excavation/construction activities in Locus 3. Tetra Tech
archaeologists will coordinate with Canisius and will be present on the Project site according to an agreed
upon schedule until it is determined that construction activities are completed within Locus 3. The
involved Indigenous Nations are invited to observe the archaeological construction monitoring and will be
given at minimum one (1) week notice and be provided with a daily/weekly schedule as appropriate.
The archaeologist will advise all project contractors to be on the alert for evidence of the presence of the
potential archaeological resources, of how to identify the evidence of the potential archaeological
resources, and of the appropriate protocol in the event of apparent discovery of an archaeological
resource. Tetra Tech archaeologists and contractors will be aware that potential archaeological resources
may include subsurface indigenous features such as post molds, hearths, storage pits, burial shafts,
human remains, foundations associated with the Buffalo Creek Reservation, etc. Prior to construction,
Tetra Tech archaeologists will discuss with construction personnel the overall archaeological sensitivity of
Locus 3, the potential for construction activities to impact Indigenous burials and significant cultural
features, and the goals of the archaeological monitoring at Locus 3. Should a work stoppage be required,
Tetra Tech archaeologists will guide the excavator-operator using standard hand signals for construction
sites (Attachment B).
If a subsurface archaeological feature is encountered, the Tetra Tech archaeologist will stop all
excavation/construction activity in the vicinity of the find until the feature is evaluated.
FEATURE ANALYSIS
It can be expected that subsurface features may contain dateable organic materials, as well as additional
diagnostic artifacts. If subsurface cultural features exist, Tetra Tech will determine the function of these
features and the activities they reflect (i.e., food processing and consumption, storage, structures, etc.).
The recovery of faunal and floral remains will be essential for the interpretation of subsistence practices
and seasonality. Therefore, flotation samples and, when possible, radiocarbon samples will be taken from
the feature. Faunal analysis will be directed toward addressing questions related to subsistence patterns,
site seasonality, and activity areas for the indigenous component, as well as identifying foodways and
how they relate to changes in landscape, lifeways, and consumption habits at the site. Counts and
weights of identified faunal remains can be used to calculate the minimum number of individuals and
reconstruct the diet. Analysis of botanical remains recovered from feature contexts should reveal the
utilization of specific plant resources. Analysis of this data be extrapolated into further understanding and
refining models of indigenous settlement and subsistence in western New York and the Niagara frontier
region.
Identified subsurface cultural features may also require indigenous pottery and/or lithic analyses. As with
previous investigations carried out at the site, the analysis of lithic debitage and tools recovered from
potential features will focus primarily on two variabilities – lithic reduction technology and raw material
management and procurement strategies. Lithic reduction analysis will focus on stone tool manufacturing
technologies through debitage and tool analyses as it relates to overall site function. Additionally, the type
of raw materials present within the assemblage, the presence of specific tool forms, and the proximity of

the raw material source can suggest models of mobility and lithic management. The analysis of these
strategies can contribute to interpretation of site function and subsistence strategies within the region. If
identified, analysis of indigenous ceramics will include descriptions in terms of sherd attributes, including
metric variables (sherd length, width, and thickness) and qualitative characteristics (location on the vessel
[i.e., rim sherd vs. body sherd]; type of temper; and a description of decoration and/or surface treatment).
Some attributes of pottery, such as method of decoration, vessel form, and surface treatments can
provide information concerning the general age of a vessel. Lithic and ceramic analysis will be conducted
following principals, techniques, and goals such as those presented in Andrefsky (2001; 2005),
Engelbrecht (1980), and Rice (1987).
All subsurface cultural features encountered during monitoring will be plotted with a GPS (sub-meter
accuracy) and mapped according to their location in relation to the site grid. Features will be bisected and
half the feature will be collected for flotation, while the other half will be excavated by strata inherent to
the feature or, if un-stratified, in arbitrary 5.0-cm levels and screened through 1/4-inch hardware screen.
The profile will be mapped and photographed. Upon consultation with the OPRHP, soil samples will be
forwarded to Tetra Tech’s archaeobotanical consultant Justine McKnight for flotation and analysis of plant
macro-remains and taxonomic identification of all recovered botanical and carbon samples. Floral
analysis will be directed toward defining the floristic environment, subsistence patterns, site seasonality,
and activity areas at the site. Floral analysis will include the distribution, counts and weights or relative
densities (as appropriate), and the ubiquity of the recovered floral remains.
If present, charcoal or other organic samples will be collected for radiocarbon dating. Once obtained, the
appropriate number and locations of such samples will be determined in consultation with the OPRHP for
submittal for radiocarbon analysis. Carbon samples will be sent to Beta-Analytic, Inc. (Coral Gables,
Florida) for radiometric dating. Samples too small for standard C-14 methods will be submitted for
accelerator mass spectrometry dating. Radiocarbon dating results will refine the site’s chronology.
In the event that human remains are encountered during monitoring, Tetra Tech will follow the OPRHP’s
Human Remains Discovery Protocol as well as the Haudenosaunee Human Remains Discovery Protocol,
both included in Attachment C (Human Remains Discovery Protocol). Tetra Tech will also contact
subconsultant bioarchaeologist Elizabeth Smith, M.S. (SUNY UB) in the event faunal or human remains
are discovered. Resumes of key personnel are included in Attachment D.
Results of the archaeological monitoring will be submitted to the OPRHP within three (3) months of the
completion of construction and monitoring. Should feature analysis be required, these results will be
included, along with the results of the recent mechanical stripping, in the revised/finalized Phase II
Archaeological Site Evaluations report. As previously determined by agency review, the final Phase II
Archaeological Site Evaluations report will be submitted to the OPRHP no later than six (6) months
(October 2022).
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me by telephone 716-510-9115 or by e-mail at
