Sketch Plan Conference for Minor Subdivision

Jai Butler #20-06

Audrey Butler

116 Cedar Bluff Rd.

Stillwater, NY 12170

S/B/L 193.-1-20 Rural District II

Applicant seeks to subdivide her 9.98+/- acre parcel with 413.22� of frontage into two lots.� One parcel will have existing house and the other will be put up for sale.

Applicant Jai Butler appeared before the Board and reviewed her proposed two lot subdivision, stating one lot will have the existing house and the vacant lot will be for future sale.

Chairman Ian Murray stated it will take some more requirements to get there, but it can be done.� The Applicant will need to hire a surveyor, as looking at the aerial maps, the problem you encounter is the house is more centered on the parcel.� The Applicant will need her surveyor to look at the Town requirements for the Rural District II area and create a lot within those requirements that will work.� He then showed the Applicant on her map how this could possibly be done.

The Applicant stated the property was surveyed in 2001, before the current house was built and that she was hoping to divide the property right down the center.

Chairman Ian Murray said technically that can be done, but as the house is centered on the parcel, she�d have to get a surveyor to look at the lot data and do some engineering work to see how they can make it fit.� The frontage is there to make it work, but they have to be sure to meet the setbacks.� There�s a requirement for the frontage of the house on the lots , so as they draw the division of the parcel, the line may not be straight, it may have to jog a bit here or there but the surveyor can do some arithmetic on it to make it work.� The other important thing is they must get the well and septic locations and make sure the separation distances are met on both lots.� Then the placement of the building envelope needs to be located and the Board will need engineering data for the soil, meaning a perc test and a deep hole test, to determine that it can support the sanitary system on that lot.�

The Applicant questioned if that information could be sent to her in order for her to give it to her surveyor.

Chairman Ian Murray stated he can email that to her or her surveyor.� He added once it�s surveyed, the driveway location may have to be moved a bit to make it work as well.

Applicant Jai Butler thanked the Board.
