30. Petitioner paid said
Purchase Price with the ex
pectation of a positive
economic based that wo
uld be generated by a 49
Lot Residential Subdivi
as shown on the Subdivi
sion
sion Plan and described in
the FINAL APPROVAL.
31. Without the develop
ment value inherent in th
e Final Approval, the Land
not worth the Purchase Pr
s are
ice Petitioner paid for th
e
ac
qu
isi
tio
n of the Lands,
and Petitioner cannot sell
the Lands at present and
ac
hie
ve a positive
economic return.
32. There is no economic
return possible from hold
ing the Lands because, in
their present undevelop
ed state, the Lands will no
t generate a return equal
ar greater than Petitione
to
r's investment and the Ca
rrying Costs.
33. Indeed, at present, th
e Lands are yielding a ne
gative economic return, i.e
the Carrying Costs exce
.,
ed the economic yield of
holding the Lands in an
undeveloped state.
34. As part of Petitione
r's expectation of an econ
omic return, Petitioner
reasonably expected the La
nds to be worth as much
as the Purchase Price, if
not substantially more,
during the course of deve
loping the Lands into the
Lot Subdivision.

enacts local laws that requ

dior a lower lot yield an
df
or
de
ve
lop
ment
potential, then the Land
s will not be worth what Pe
titi
on
er paid for the
Lands and expected fro
m said Lands. Petitioner has
and will continue to
have a negative economic return on said Lands for so long as the Lands are
under Moratorium.
36. By reason of the foregoing, Petitioner will not have an economic return by
reason of the moratoritun, and, therefore, is entitled to a variances) under
the standard therefor stated in Local Law No 1 of 2016.
37. Petitioner is respectfully submitting Exhibits 1 — 4, and it is compiling the
other papers referenced in Local Law 1 of 2016. Petitioner reserves the right
to call witnesses at any hearing on this application.
Wherefore, Petitioner requests relief from the Moratorium, a variance(s),
being complete relief from the Moratorium, so Petitioner can proceed with the full
development of the Lands as such development was envisioned and approved by
the FINAL APPROVAL, and Petitioner may have such other and further relief as
is just and proper.

History
Date of Application
The application was filed with the Planning Board on July 26, 2001. In
early 2002, as the Planning Board was reviewing this application, it was simulta-
3
neously in the process of reviewing five (later six) other separate land use applications involving a proposed total of 174 (later 180) single family lots in the general site area. The Planning Board was also aware that there were an additional
169 lots pending in the same general site area in the Village of Monroe. Finding
that these collective subdivisions involved common environmental impacts on
specific resources, the Planning Board determined that there was a need to review these potentially significant common impacts in a comprehensive manner.
The Board obtained the agreement of the several applicants for the Board to prepare aGeneric Environmental Impact Statement (GETS) to address the common
impacts of the projects in the specific areas of:
➢ Groundwater impacts and the ability of the proposed lots to obtain
sufficient well-water supplies
➢ Surtace water resources (including wetlands) and stormwater drainage
➢ Traffic and traffic safety
➢ Planning and zoning
The GETS also included the consideration of alternatives, specifically the
implementation of a new through road running east of and parallel to the Rye
Hill/Berry Road alignment. This road is provided for in the context of the proposed Polak subdivision layout.
Because the instant application was part of the overall GEIS, no action
could be taken on the underlying land use application until the Planning Board
completed its review and adopted Findings. The Rye Hill Road Area GETS Findings were adopted on April 20, 2004. The overall timeline for the GEIS process
and other pertinent information is set forth in greater detail in the Planning
Board's site-specific Negative Declaration for this action adopted on June 8,
2004 prior to action being taken on the instant resolution.

Public Hearing
A public hearing on this application was convened on October 14, 2003
and closed on the same date.
SEQRA
Tvpe of Action:
The site-specific aspects of this project constitutes an unlisted action under the State Environmental Quality Review Act.
Lead Agency;
The Town of Monroe Planning Board is the lead agency in regard to this
action. The Planning Board's status as lead agency was established in 2002.
Declaration of Significance:
A negative declaration was issued on June 8, 2004.
GML 239 Referral
This application has been referred to the Orange County Planning Department for review and report. The Planning Department has reported that this matter is one for local determination, there being no significant inter-municipal or
countywide considerations found to exist.
Findings
The Planning Board has determined that approval of this subdivision will
substantially serve the public convenience, safety and welfare in that the land to
be subdivided is of such character that it can be used safely for building purposes without danger to health or peril from fire, flood or other menace. Further,
the arrangement, location and width of streets, their relation to the topography of
the land, water supply, sewage disposal, drainage, lot sizes and arrangement,
the possible future development of adjoining land as yet un-subdivided are all appropriate and consistent with the requirements of the master plan, the official
N9
map, the Town of Monroe Subdivision Regulations and applicable zoning regulations, subject to compliance in full with conditions hereinafter imposed
The Planning Board further determines that issuance of the proposed local
wetland buffer disturbance permit to this applicant will not impair the functions of
the wetland located on this project site within the meaning of Section 56-7 (E)(2)
of the Town of Monroe Code, will not result in any direct or indirect environmental
impact on wetlands and/or wetland buffers, will not impact wetlands functions,
and will adequately protect surface water and groundwater resources from
drought, pollution, and overuse.
Public Improvements
All permanent improvements shown on the plans have been identified as
necessary public improvements. Given the complexity and magnitude of this application, these improvements shall be completed according to the schedule set
forth in a Public Improvement Security Agreement [See §A65-25.3].

and conditions of the subdivision approval.
➢ Installation of Carsonite markers in accordance with the wetland
plans.
11. This approval is subject to and conditioned upon the applicant
E:3
delivering to the Town of Monroe all municipal easements
shown on the plans. Those instruments shall be satisfactory in
form and substance to the town engineer and town attorney.
Public Improvement Security Agreement
12. The Applicant shall execute a Public Improvement Security
Agreement in a form acceptable to the Town Board of the Town
of Monroe, said Agreement to be prepared by the Town Attorney at the Applicants expense. The agreement shall ensure
completion and maintenance of all public improvements identified above.
13. The Applicant shall furnish performance bonds and maintenance guaranties pursuant to the terms of the Public Improvement Security Agreement, the amounts of same to be determined in accordance with and upon consultation with the Town
of Monroe Engineer.
14. The Applicant shall complete all improvements required by the
terms of the Public Improvement Security Agreement and in
compliance with the development application proceedings and
all testimony and evidence submitted by and on behalf of the
Applicant. The applicant shall further comply with all requirements of the Town of Monroe Code and other requirements
that may be imposed by the Town of Monroe Engineer.
Implementation of SE RA Findings
15. All mitigation measures proposed within the GETS or announced within the SEQRA Findings Statements issued by this
board are hereby made conditions of this approval as if those
mitigation measures were set forth herein at length.
16. In order to ensure that all mitigation measures contained within
the Rye Hill Road GEIS Findings applicable to this project are
performed, the applicant shall within the Public Improvement
Security Agreement undertake full and satisfactory performance of all applicable mitigation measures contained in the
Findings.
Traffic
17. The LEIS Findings concluded that, in order for the cumulative
developments to be approved without creating significant harmful traffic level of service impacts, off-site improvements will be
needed. The developer of each project covered by the study
agreed to make a pro rata financial contribution to the needed
off-site improvements. The Findings specify that any final approval of each project would be conditioned upon implementation of each developer's agreement to contribute to off-site improvements. This developer has tendered its full pro rata contribution to the Town Board. That tender has not yet been accepted. Should that the tender have been accepted as of the
time the applicant applies for his first building permit, the applicant shall be entitled to that building permit and all remaining
building permits authorized to be issued by virtue of this approval. Should the tender not have been accepted as of the
time the applicant applies for its 215" building permit, the applicant shall be entitled to that building permit and all remaining
building permits authorized by virtue of this approval provided
that the applicant has not withdrawn that tender as of the date
The GEIS analysis demonstrated that certain off-site improvements would be needed at such
point as 150 dwelling units (out of a total of 351 in the study) were completed because "F" levels
of service would be reached at one crucial intersection at that juncture. This applicants pro rata
share of that traffic burden (and the limit of his allowable development absent a financial contribution to the off-site improvements) on a lot-count basis is 20.94 lots.
the applicant applies for each such building permit.
OKers of Dedication
18. Before signing of the final plat or plans, the applicant shall deliverappropriate offers) of dedication [open space areas and
potential water tower site], in duplicate, executed and acknowledged by the owner of the property affected, in form suitable for
filing in the Orange County Clerk's Office and the Town Clerk's
Office for all such lands as are shown on the plans to be so offered. The offer shall include a metes and bounds description of
said parcel(s). The documents shall be in form suitable for recording and shall be satisfactory to the Town Attorney.
Parkland Fees
19. The Planning Board has determined, based upon the present
and anticipated future need for park and recreational facilities in
the Town [as calculated from projected population growth to
which this subdivision will contribute], that parklands should be
created as a condition of approval of this subdivision. However,
because parks of size adequate to meet the Town's requirements cannot be properly located on the subdivision plat, the
Planning Board, pursuant to the Subdivision Regulations of the
Town of Monroe, and Section 277 (4) of the Town Law of the
State of New York, requires that the applicant deliver payment,
by cashier's check or certified check drawn to the order of the
Town of Monroe in such sum as required by the applicable provisions of the Town of Monroe Code of Ordinances, or such
sum as the Town Board shall determine for each new lot in this
subdivision in lieu of dedication of such required parklands to
the Town before the final plat is signed, unless payment shall
be deferred, in whole or part, by agreement between the applicant and the Town Board.
11

Because water supply leas reportedly Ueen a proUlem in flee site area, the Plaruung Board
requested additional uifoimaHon to Ue pz~ovided as part of its a~outule regulatory
regixirements and also as part of the Rye Hill Road Corridor G&IS, The esHinafed water

average pz~ecipitation direct recharge for the site zeporked at 78,000 gallons (gpd), with
55,500 gpd of du~ect rechaige wtdei 30-year thought conditions. Because the site is

The DGEIS noted that although water budget ~uialyses are useful zn estimating avaIlable
groundwater' resources, achialLy dz~llling end testing sixpply wells is the only defitutive
andicatoz• of groundwater availabllity from tha aquifer' souice and any potential impact

installltion and testing of wells on the Potak Farm slfe was completed, along with an oftsite we11monitoiingprogram. The test was completed for the ez~tue subdivision, and
wells were drilled on lots 6,10,19, axtd 21. The well locations were chosen by the towns
consulting hydrogeologist, whh testing being done at 1»s direction. The goal of the test
was to pump the wells on lots 6,10 and 19 at 5 gpm (tire recommended household
requirement), or if requix'ed, reduced to a mitumuin of 2 gpm, The well on lot 21 was
pumped at 27 gpm, or oxle-and-one-half times the average water demand on the entire
49-lot subdivision.

Phe completed 24-hour tests indicated that the we11 on lot 6 yielded 5 gallons

(gpin) for the entire Eest ai d experienced a 250-foot drawdown. Wells on lots 10 and
19
intitially pumped at 5 gpm Unf soon declined, and were reduced to 4 grin for
the
remainder of the test, 1'he well onlot 10 experienced a 375 foot drawdown uid
the v✓eli
on lot 19, about 40G' feet. The well on lot 21 was pumped et 27 gpm for the entire
test
and experienced only 60 feet of drawdown. All tested wells thus meet Health
Department and town xequu~ements, reporting stabiflzed yields for at Ieast the
last 5
hours of the test. Twenty-four hour recovery measurements ut the tested wells
shows
that Hte water level recovered rapidly Find were fully recovered within 241iours
after
pumping ceased. Thus, the data indicated that there was no storage depletion
of hhe

concluded
that the Uedrock aquifer lead excellent potential to yield 5 gpm or more front
individual
wells drilled on the lots.
During the 24-hour pumping tests a well monitoring Program was cart•1ed out
on six
offsite wells, Wells that we~~e inoxvtored included wells on the adjoining Alpine and
Weiss subdivisions, and additional offsite wells. The hydrograph for the moiutore
d
wells showed no discerneUle drawdown interference homsiimiltaneous pumping
of the
onsite test yells on flte Polak Paz~m, despite pumping at well over the average
water
demand of the total project. Thus die data support the conclusion Heat groundwater
withdrawnIs from the site will not Ue expected to harm neighboring domestic
wells,
The subdivision n~usf also comply with Hie GELS requirement that fox• all lots
withvt the
sixbdivision on which test wells were not drilled, wells must be drilled prior to the
issuance of a building permit, as a condition of fu1a1 approval. This ~~equlrement would
be enforced Uy the builduig inspector, ai d ell such wells must meet legal requrrem
enes
for sufficiency. Therefore nny wells that pxoduce less flan 5 gpm will require additiona
l
in-house shoi•age as requu•ed by the Department of Health.
The subdivision plazas comply wltli the GEIS Futdings utd requirements incorpore
Nng
dry-wells on the site to facilitate rechu~ge of a•oot mid footing drain flows. This will
help
to protect the recharge capacity of the site, notwithstanding Eltat the G~IS nidicated
a
significant net sixrplus of recharge over consumption foz` the site.
The site does contain some locally and fedez~ally regulated wetland. These wetlands
have been identified curd the suUdivision plans show Ehat the subdivision wt11not
result
in v~y direct disturbance of wetlands. Detailed review of the potential
wetland impacts
of khe suUdivision that may result from any acHviiies within 100 feet of the wetland
will
be evaluated at the rime of detaIled plan submission for each phase fox•

of the overall project. However, all phases of the subdivision will be requu~ed Eo meeE
appzopriate water quality and design standards prior to any grant of fnial land use
approval, and this approach is zoo less protective of the environment,
The site requires Health Depaz~tment approval for wells and septic systems, end Phase T
of the same is curz~ently undergoing such review. In addition, Uecause the site is located
at least partially withal hhe Mombaslia Lake watershed, which provides the Village of
Moruoe water sttpply, the plans will also require review by the Village water
deparhnent and ei~guteer. Based on tlxe salutary design and stormweter qualiiy mid

With respect to traffic flows, the Rye Hill Road Corridor GBIS studied the overall ri~affic
impacts of the collective subdivisions. Tile GBIS Findings determined that a range of
roadway network improvement projects were needed and the collective need £or such
unpxoveinents was aclulowledged Uy the project developers, along with a rnechuusm
fox effectuating such iinpx~overnents, Some of the safety-related improvements will Uy
conshucted as parC of specific projects that either ah•eady leave soiree land ixse approvals
or are ttaidexgonlg review, These include the removal of z~ock along Berry Road as part
of the Polak subdivision end Uie related realignmeztt of the road pavement, the
reconsh~ucHon/realigrunent of the Rye Hill/Berry Road intersection, which is to be
completed by the Polak and Alpine subdivisions and is incorporated on the Polak
preli.i~iinary plans, and dreu~ege improvements along a poz~Hon of Rye Eiill Road in the
vicnuty of the Shea suUdivision, which is to be completed by the Shea subdivision.
Other more comprehensive improvements include tine development of a new parallel
roadway to Rye Hill/Bevy Road traversing five pending project sites, and the
xeconsh'uction and signalization of the Reynolds Road/Orange Tuctlpike intecsecHon,
and i~econshuction of Ute Reynolds Road/Rye Hill Road uitersection. Asset forth ni the

Subject: RE: Shea Meadows -Town of Monroe
Dennis
Earlier this morning I left another message for you —regarding the Town of Monroe matters f've
been working on with you over the past few months, and I didn't hear back. from you, so i am
sending you the within.
am still waifing to heard back from you on your approval /acceptance on the revised PI5A
which I sent you on April 6`h, but still haven't received any comments from you.
also haven't received any word from you regarding what other conditions of the Final Approval
for Shea Meadows remain open.
My clients believe the failure of the town to have its staff and/or consultants respond to the my
requests in a motion timely manner is evidence of a de facto moratorium.
Also — I should have included in my email below that G H A B Five Realty is the present owner
of the Polack Farms Phases f & Ii. TI7ey also want to authorization /permits from the Town to
commence construction on the site improvements and file the subdivision plat (map. I've
attached a copy of the resolution of final approval and deed conveying title to my client. Please
let me know when I can expect to hear from you relative to what conditions of the approval
remain open.
As I am sure you understand, my clients are anxious to have the Shea Meadows and Polak
Farms maps filed and work commenced /continued before the board formally adopts the
moratorium.

Please fef me know when I cen expect to hear from you on the sfatus of finalizing wha[
needs to be put into place to get authorization lpermits from the Town to commence
construction on the site improvements.
As you can expect, my client is concerned that this project may be covered by the
contemplated moratorium.
In addition, this office has been retained by C H A B Five Realty to either get
authorization /permits from the Town to commence construction on the site
improvements or final approval to file the subdivision plat /map. I'EI send you over a
copy of the resolution for conditional approval of that project, so we can review any
open conditions.

Dennis —attached is a redline pdf that compares the last two versions of the PISA. I've also
attached the signed resolution of approval, and a copy of a letter jay Myrow wrote in 2014,
which outlines how the various conditions were addressed. Hopefully I nailed down all of your
requested revisions. Please let me know if there is anything else needed before my client can
commence with construction of the Improvements.

Because I haven't heard from you any further - ! am resending the revised PISA that I sent
Monday morning, which contains the revisions that you asked for. With all the talk about the
Tov✓n going into a moratorium, my client I concerned that its project is unfairly being held-up.
Please let me know when we can put the PISA in place, so my client can commence
construction work.
If you need anything else from me, please let me know.
