For the purpose of assisting in the determination of whether an action may or will not have a significant effect on the environment, applicants for permits or other approvals shall file a written statement with the Village Planning Board setting forth the name of the applicant, the location of the real property affected, if any, a description of the nature of the proposed action and the effect it may have on the environment. In addition, applicants may include a detailed statement of the reasons why, in their view, a proposed action may or will not have a significant effect on the environment. Where the action involves an application, the statement shall be filed simultaneously with the application for the action. The statement provided herein shall be known as a preliminary environmental assessment statement and shall be upon a form prescribed by resolution by the Board of Trustees and shall contain such additional relevant information as shall be required in the prescribed form. Such statement shall be accompanied by drawings, sketches and maps, if any, together with any other relevant explanatory material required by the Village Planning Board.
The Village Planning Board shall render a written determination on such application within fifteen (15) days following receipt of a complete application and statement; provided, however, that such period may be extended by mutual agreement of the applicant and the Village Planning Board. The determination shall state whether such proposed action may or will not have a significant effect on the environment. The Village Planning Board may hold informal meetings with the applicant and may meet with and consult any other person for the purpose of aiding it in making a determination on the application.
The time limitations provided in this chapter shall be coordinated with, to the extent practicable, other time limitations provided by statute or local law, ordinance or regulation of the village.
Every application for determination under this chapter shall be accompanied by a reasonable fee to defray the expenses incurred in rendering such determination. The fees shall be as set forth in the Schedule of Fees adopted by resolution of the Board of Trustees.
Editor's Note: See Ch. A111, Fees.
If the Village Planning Board determines that the proposed action is not an exempt action, not an action listed in § 52-3B hereof or Section 617.12 of Title 6 of the New York Codes, Rules and Regulations as a Type II action and that it will not have a significant effect on the environment, the Planning Board shall prepare, file and circulate such determination as provided in Section 617.7(b) of Title 6 of the New York Codes, Rules and Regulations, and thereafter the proposed action may be processed without further regard to this chapter. If the Village Planning Board determines that the proposed action may have a significant effect on the environment, the Planning Board shall prepare, file and circulate such determination as provided in 617.7(b) of Title 6 of the New York Codes, Rules and Regulations, and thereafter the proposed action shall be reviewed and processed in accordance with the provisions of this chapter and Part 617 of Title 6 of the New York Codes, Rules and Regulations.
In the case of an action not involving an applicant, prepare or cause to be prepared a draft environmental impact statement.
If the applicant refuses to submit an environmental impact report, the Board of Trustees shall prepare or cause to be prepared the draft environmental impact statement or, in its discretion, notify the applicant that the processing of the application will cease and that no approval will be issued.
The Board of Trustees may require an applicant to submit a fee to defray the expense to it of preparing a draft environmental impact statement or reviewing same if it is prepared by the applicant. Such fees shall be as set forth in the Schedule of Fees adopted by resolution of the Board of Trustees.
Where more than one (1) agency is involved in an action, the procedures of Sections 617.4 and 617.8 of Part 617 of Title 6 of the New York Codes, Rules and Regulations shall be followed.
Actions undertaken or approved prior to the dates specified in Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law for local agencies shall be exempt from this chapter and the provisions of Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law and Part 617 of Title 6 of the New York Codes, Rules and Regulations; provided, however, that if after such dates, a governing body, or appropriate department, board, commission, officer or employee, having jurisdiction modifies an action undertaken or approved prior to that date and the Board of Trustees determines that the modification may have a significant adverse effect on the environment, such modification shall be an action subject to this chapter and Part 617 of Title 6 of the New York Codes, Rules and Regulations.
