WHEREAS; agricultural solar projects are defined as projects located on lands which qualifies for exemption under Real Property Tax Law § 483; and

WHEREAS, it is understood agreements made pursuant to this resolution shall be for 15 years and that the revenue will be divided among the taxing districts as described above.

Attorney Young discussed the issues that Grand Gorge Tire has had in trying to hook up their building to the NYCDEP sewer extension. When sewer extension was being built DEP didn’t hook up that property due to unknown soil issues having been a auto repair garage at one time but installed a stub to the property. The owner at that time was okay with no hook up but now the new owner wants the hookup. Unfortunately, the stub is two feet too high so a grinder pump would have to be installed. Under the extension agreement, the Town feels the hook up should be at the expense of DEP and not the owner. The Town is waiting for a response in writing from DEP.
A card has been received from Cub Scouts Pack 41 Roxbury, NY thanking the Town Board for having allowed the use of the Grand Gorge Civic Center for the pinewood derby they held this year.

Minutes of the March 19, 2016 Public Information meeting for the Grand Gorge Flood Study were also distributed to the Town Board.
Nicole Franzese of the Delaware County Planning Department discussed the process for adopting the Hamlet designation maps and discussed the removal of four parcels. Every five years the Town Board must review the map and will have the chance to remove any parcels before a map is adopted. The next review process will be in 2021. The Town Clerk stated receiving a call from Cherie Serrie questioning if the property of Conro has been deemed to be in the flood zone per the current flood study being done in Grand Gorge, and therefore unbuildable, why can’t it be removed from the Hamlet Designation. The matter was discussed by the Town Board where it was stated there are expected to be changes to the draft flood study maps resulting from the information meeting and Attorney Young stated there is also a new flood acquisition program that the parcel might be eligible for. The Conro property will remain a parcel in the hamlet designation.
RESOLUTION # 32 of 2016 TOWN OF ROXBURY- HAMLET DESIGNATION
On motion of Gene Cronk second by Edward Raeder the following resolution was offered and adopted:
“WHEREAS, in December 24, 2010, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (“DEC”) issued a Water Supply Permit to the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (“DEP”) which authorizes DEP (and/or its agents) to purchase land in fee and to purchase conservation easements within the New York City Watershed West-of Hudson River subject to certain restrictions with a duration of 10 years (with a one five year renewal for a total duration of 15 years). A copy of the Water Supply Permit (Permit Now. 0-9999-00051/00001) is available online at http://www.dec.ny.gov/permits/70361.html.
WHEREAS, in order to protect the land that is most amendable for development, Special Condition 10 of the Water Supply Permit identifies two types of areas where the City may not purchase in fee or conservation easements: The 1997 Designated Areas and the 2011 Designated Areas: and
WHEREAS, June 13, 2011 the Town of Roxbury Town Board (“Town Board”) adopted Resolution #21 of 2011 under Special Condition 10 designating these areas ; and
WHEREAS, in 2016 and 2021 the Town Board can revisit both the areas designated and New York City’s purchase of in fee or conservation easement within these areas; and
WHEREAS, attached as Exhibit A is a listing of tax parcels within the proposed 2011 Designated Area as amended by the Town Board in April 2016; and
WHEREAS, attached as Exhibit B is a map showing the 1997 Designed Area and the 2011 Designated Area as amended by the Town Board in April 2016; and
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED,
1. The Town Board adopts as the amended 2011 Designed Area the parcels identified in Exhibits A and B.
2. The Board reserves any and all rights under Special Conditions 7, 8, 9 and 10 to make new determinations in 2021 and 2026.”
WHEREUPON, the resolution was put to a vote and recorded as follows:
AYES-5 Cronk, Raeder, Hinkley, Murray, Hynes

Ms. Franzese stated a Public Hearing must be held before adopting the new flood maps. Said hearing will be scheduled at the May Town Board meeting and the flood maps must be adopted by June 16, 2016.
Assessor Robert Breglio provided a written report to the Town Board for March 2016 and added work has been completed for the 2016 Tentative Tax Roll that will be available May 2nd , all exemptions have been processed, a notice will be advertised for appointments to meet with the Assessor to discuss figures on the tax roll, the notice will also state Grievance Day is the fourth Thursday in May and will be held on one day 4-8 pm as set by the Board of Assessment Review and the Assessor’s office continues to work on issues with commercial solar farms. Attorney Young discussed the current commercial solar exemption that is good for 15 years and the Town Board can either opt out or set up a PILOT (Payment In Lieu Of Tax) program. The County has a model resolution that would allow for 50% Town, 25% School and 25% County. The Town Board can choose to either go under the County resolution or have one of its own. The Town Board will wait to see what the County adopts as a final resolution. Discussion took place with concerns if a commercial solar company goes out of business and abandons the panels. Attorney Young stated the Town Board could require a bond be posted and added he has reviewed the current Site Plan Review law and it includes commercial solar farms. The County Planning Department has additional information available on solar farms for property owners. The Town Board is expected to adopt a resolution on solar farms at the May meeting.
Richard Davis of the Grand Gorge Community Action Group stated they are thinking about holding a Grand Gorge Community Day in the fall and requested use of the Civic Center building and grounds. They are also thinking of getting an 18’ X 26’ movable storage building to house their wreaths, flower baskets, etc. and requested being able to locate it out of the way behind the Civic Center. The Town Board requested plans on the storage bldg. All were invited to a pinewood derby to be held at the Civic Center this Saturday.
Joseph Resch of the Grand Gorge Business Alliance thanked the members of the Town Board who attended their art contest award ceremony for the new logo and requested Town Board support for their grant application for Main Street Funding.
Highway Supt., Neil German, stated the new chipper is here and crews are working to widen Carr George Rd. and getting ready for summer road work.
Carolynn Faraci, Parks Clerk, stated the Park is almost fully booked for weekends this summer and is already being booked into 2017. Councilman Hinkley questioned rates for resident and non-residents. Mrs. Faraci stated the Town Board last year changed the rates last year for that purpose and current rates are $125/day resident and $425/day non-resident.
The Town Board discussed the vacancy on the Historic Preservation Commission. Douglas McLaurine has expressed interest in the position.
Councilman Hinkley reported having spoken with ZS Security to obtain a quote on installing cameras at the highway garage and Supervisor Hynes has already visited the site with the security company.
Councilman Raeder expressed concerns with the thermostat setting in the Civic Center dining center as it is constantly set at 72 degrees. The Town Board discussed installing a lock over it but no decision was made.
Discussion took place on the failing Constable vehicle. Supv. Hynes has looked into a new one and all the 2015 leftovers have been purchased.

No Old Business
New Business:
There was a general discussion regarding Commercial Solar Installations being proposed in the area. Nicole Franzese advised that land owners need to be diligent when signing leases regarding taxes and other inherent obligations that occur if and when the solar company abandons the installation.
Phil Zorda stated that one of the responsibilities of the Roxbury Town Planning Board is site plan review and that the Town’s attorney has indicated that commercial solar would fall under our review. Stephanie from the assessor’s office has suggested that parcels leased for solar installations be subdivided to protect the land owner and any ag exemptions they may have. Twenty acres is generally the minimum number of acres for a commercial solar installation.
The board was advised of a Land Acquisition Project by the state of New York on Hard Scrabble Road near Duggan Hill consisting of three small lots; NYC parcel # 8027 totaling 28.34 acres. The acquisition was review by the Delaware County Planning Board and no action is necessary by the town board.
The Delaware County Planning Board adjusted the town map for the Hamlet of Grand Gorge to reflect three parcels removed from the map at the request of the land owners. No action necessary by the town board.
There was a mention of what is involved to designate RT 30 as a scenic route. Apparently a group from Schoharie County has approached the town about the possibility.
8:30: Motion to adjourn by Jean Stone seconded by Dave Cowan
NOTES: Brad Zambri was appointed and Ed Hinkley was reappointed to the Roxbury Town Planning Board at the December 2015 meeting. Phil Zorda was appointed as chairman at the January 2016 meeting.
