Project Location and Description: Applicants propose to subdivide a 2.07 acre parcel, located at 287 River Road (SCTM 800-80-1-44.1), Saint James, NY, into two lots. Lot 1 will be one acre and contain the existing dwelling. Lot 2 will be 1.07 acres. An existing cottage and shed on lot 2 will be removed and a new dwelling is proposed on that lot. The subject parcel is located entirely within the Recreational River Corridor for the Nissequogue River.
Permits Requested: Applicants applied to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation ("Department") for permits pursuant to Environmental Conservation Law ("ECL") article 15, title 27 (Wild, Scenic and Recreational Rivers System) and title 6 of the Official Compilation of Codes, Rules and Regulations of the State of New York ("6 NYCRR") part 666. The notice of complete application was published in the Environmental Notice Bulletin on April 20, 2016 and in the Smithtown News on April 21, 2016.
SEQRA Status: Department staff determined that the project is an unlisted action pursuant to the State Environmental Quality Review Act, ECL article 8 ("SEQRA") and 6 NYCRR part 617. Staff determined that the action will not have a significant impact on the environment. A negative declaration is on file.
Department Staff Position: The Department's Division of Environmental Permits denied the permit by letter dated May 19, 2016. Department staff determined that the proposal does not meet the two acre lot size minimum requirement of 6 NYCRR 666.13(c) and that it fails to meet the standards for an area variance under 6 NYCRR 666.9(a)(2).
Legislative Hearing: All persons, organizations, corporations, or government agencies that may be affected by the project are invited to comment on the application.
