Lead Agency: City of Buffalo Planning Board Room 901, City Hall 65 Niagara Square Buffalo New York 14202 As per the provisions of SEQR, the Lead Agency has reviewed the following action as it relates to the environment: Action Title Inlight Art Glass Location: �, 565 Elmwood Avenue Type of Action: Unlisted - Coordinated Description: Robert O'Hara, Architect on behalf of Mr. Giuliano Deganis is proposing the construction of building additions with handicap access to the building located at 565 Elmwood Avenue, Buffalo New York. The reason for the additions are to expand the retail portion of the building on the ground level in order to provide handicapped access to that portion of the ground floor level that is approximately fourteen (14) inches below the Elmwood avenue entry level and in a second phase, provide two additional apartments on the third floor. The project is privately funded in the amount of $75,000 dollars. Permission was granted by the Buffalo Common Council CCP - 84 of June 12, 2007 to encroach the right of way and authorizing a "mere license ". The Zoning Board of Appeals at their meeting held on June 20, 2007 granted a variance to erect and use the extension of a building in the right of way. The Public Works Department has also approved the encroachment. Plans were filed for a building permit on December 20, 2007. As a result of this Environmental Review, the Lead Agency has determined the undertaking of this action will not have a significant adverse impact on the quality of the environment. No further environmental review of this action will be conducted prior to project implementation and a Draft Environmental Impact Statement will not be prepared. Reasons Supporting This Determination: The facts and reasons for this decision are as follows: the building addition will allow Inlight Glass to expand its operations as well as provide handicap accessibility to the building. The identified potential negative impacts appear to be primarily short-term site preparation and construction related activities, and do not appear to be significant in magnitude or effect. There are no actions, which will have a significant adverse impact on the environment.

Page 10 of 21 SEQRA Notice of Determination Non Significance Negative Declaration This notice is issued pursuant to Part 617 of the implementing regulations pertaining to Article 8 (SEAR — State Environmental Quality Review) of the Environmental Conservation Law. Lead Agency: City of Buffalo Planning Board Room 901, City Hall 65 Niagara Square Buffalo New York 14202 As per the provisions of SEAR, the Lead Agency has reviewed the following action as it relates to the environment: Action Title Rock Harbor Commons Location: 31 Tonawanda Street Type of Action: unlisted- Coordinated Description: Edward Hogie is proposing the redevelopment of the existing structure located on the property at 31 Tonawanda Street Buffalo New York. A variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals is required as is a 239M referral to the county of Erie. The redevelopment plan includes the creation of 285 beds for college housing split among 1, 2, and 3 bedroom units within 134,000 square feet among 3 and '/ floors. Student lounge and service facilities, vending machines video games will be located in the basement area. Parking will be provided on site and local adjoining streets. The property is in close proximity to Buffalo State College, D'Youville College and Canisius College. The project has the support of the Riverkeepers, local Good Neighbor Planning Alliance and local government officials. The project is privately funded with the estimated cost being approximately $10,500,000 dollars. As a result of this Environmental Review, the Lead Agency has determined the undertaking of this action will not have a significant adverse affect on the quality of the environment. No further environmental review of this action will be conducted prior to project implementation and a Draft Environmental Impact Statement will not be prepared. Reasons Supporting This Determination: The facts and reasons for this decision are as follows: This project will rebuild a building that has been vacant for sometime and possibly serve as an incubator for future development in this area of Black Rock. The identified potential negative impacts appear to be primarily short-term site preparation and construction related activities, and do not appear to be significant in magnitude or effect. There are no actions, which will have a significant adverse impact on the environment.

Thanks FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL Sept 16, 2009 617.20 Appendix A " /9,!�C) State Environmental Quality Review' FULL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FORM Purpose: The Full FAF is designed to help applicants and agencies determine, in an orderly manner, whether a project or action may be significant. The question of whether an action may be significant is not always easy to answer" Frequently, there are aspects of a project that are subjective or immeasurable. It is also understood that those who determine significance may have little or no formal knowledge of the environment or may not be technically expert in environmental analysis. In addition, many who have knowledge in one particular area may not be aware of the broader concerns affecting the question of significance. The full GAF is intended to provide a method whereby applicants and agencies can be assured that the determination process has been orderly, comprehensive in nature, yet flexible enough to allow introduction of information to fit a project or action. Full EAF Components: The full FAF is comprised of three parts: Part 1: Provides objective data and information about a given project and its site. By identifying basic project data, it assists a reviewer in the analysis that takes place in Parts 2 and 3. Part 2: Focuses on identifying the range of possible impacts that may occur from a project or action. It provides guidance as to whether an impact is likely to be considered small to moderate or whether it is a potentially -large impact. - 1 he form also identifies whether an impact can be mitigated or reduced. Part 3: If any impact in Part 2 is identified as potentially- large, then Part 3 is used to evaluate whether or not the impact is actually important. THIS AREA FOR L EAD AGENCY USE ONLY DETERMINATION OF SIGNIFICANCE -- Type 1 and Unlisted Actions Identify the Portions of EAF completed for this project: F Part 1 0 Part 2 M Part 3 Upon review of the information recorded on this EAF (Parts 1 and 2 and 3 if appropriate), and any other supporting information, and considering both the magnitude and importance of each impact, it is reasonably determined by the lead agency that: n A. The project will not result in any large and important impact(s) and, therefore, is one which will not have a significant impact on the environment, therefore a negative declaration will be prepared. B. Although the project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect for this Unlisted Action because the mitigation measures described in PAR1 3 have been required, therefore a CONDITIONED negative declaration will be prepared.* C. The project may result in one or more large and important impacts that may have a significant impact on the environment, therefore a positive declaration will be prepared. *A Conditioned Negative Declaration is only valid for Unlisted Actions Mercy Hospital Emergency Department Addition Name of Action City of Buffalo Common Council (- _ Name of Lead Agency David A.

PART 2 - PROJECT IMPACTS AND THEIR MAGNITUDE Responsibility of Lead Agency General Information (Read Carefully) 1 In completing the form the reviewer should be guided by the question: Have my responses and determinations been reasonable? The reviewer is not expected to be an expert environmental analyst. 1 The Examples provided are to assist the reviewer by showing types of impacts and wherever possible the threshold of magnitude that would trigger a response in column 2. The examples are generally applicable throughout the State and for most situations. But, for any specific project or site other examples and /or lower thresholds may be appropriate for a Potential Large Impact response, thus requiring evaluation in Part 3. ! The impacts of each project, on each site, in each locality, will vary. Therefore, the examples are illustrative and have been offered as guidance. They do not constitute an exhaustive list of impacts and thresholds to answer each question. ! The number of examples per question does not indicate the importance of each question. ! In identifying impacts, consider long term, short term and cumulative effects. Instructions (Read carefully) a. Answer each of the 20 questions in PART 2. Answer Yes if there will be any impact. b Maybe answers should be considered as Yes answers c. If answering Yes to a question then check the appropriate box(column 1 or 2)to indicate the potential size of the impact. If impact threshold equals or exceeds any example provided, check column 2. If impact will occur but threshold is lower than example, check column 1. d. Identifying that an Impact will be potentially large (column 2) does not mean that it is also necessarily significant. Any large impact must be evaluated in PART 3 to determine significance. Identifying an impact in column 2 simply asks that it be looked at further. e. If reviewer has doubt about size of the impact then consider the impact as potentially large and proceed to PART 3. f. If a potentially large impact checked in column 2 can be mitigated by change(s) in the project to a small to moderate impact, also check the Yes box in column 3. A No response indicates that such a reduction is not possVe. This must be explained in Part 3.

Addition 565 Abbott Road Buffalo, ErieCounty 08PR02607 Dear Mr. Ball: Thank you for requesting the comments of the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) for the proposed addition to Mercy Hospital on Abbott Road under the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA). We have reviewed the proposed project in accordance with the New York State Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation Law, Section 14.09. Concerning the potential for archaeological resources present at the site, Michael Schifferli of our Archaeological Unit has requested that prior to any work commencing at the site a Phase IA Survey be prepared and submitted for review to the OPRIIP. The requirements for the Phase IA Survey are attached. Daniel McEneny of our National Register unit has determined that Mercy Hospital building is not eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places; however, the proposed entrance and helipad are adjacent to Cazenovia Park which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. As such, care must be taken to protect the historical property physically during the proposed construction and thereafter to minimize the visual impact from the park. In addition, the OPRI IP has no objection to the City of Buffalo Common Council serving as the lead agency for the SEQRA application for the Mercy Hospital Project, Please advise our office of SEQRA determinations, proceedings and hearings in this matter. The OPRHP appreciates the opportunity to comment under the SEQRA review process as an interested agency. If you have any questions regarding this letter feel free to contact me at 518- 237 -8643 extension 3287. Please refer to the OPRHP Project Review (PR) number in any future correspondences regarding this project.

Therefore the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) recommends that a Phase 1A archeological survey is warranted. SHPO is aware that portions of the project have been subjected to substantial ground disturbance in the past. However, recent experience in similar areas throughout the state, has revealed that substantial and significant archeological deposits remain intact between the disturbed areas, often below existing street surfaces and structures. To better assess the level of ground disturbance at this property a detailed Phase IA Survey is required at this tithe. A Phase 1 survey is designed to determine the presence or absence of archeological sites or other cultural resources in the project's area of potential effect. The Phase 1 survey is divided into two progressive units of study including a Phase lA sensitivity assessment and initial project area field inspection, and a Phase 1B subsurface testing program for the project area. The OPRHP can provide standards for conducting cultural resource investigations upon request. Cultural resource surveys and survey reports that meet these standards will be accepted and approved by the OPRHP. Our office does not conduct cultural resources surveys. A 36 CFR 61 qualified archeologist should be retained to conduct the Phase 1 survey. Many archeological consulting firms advertise their availability in the yellow pages. The services of qualified archeologists can also be obtained by contacting local, regional, or statewide professional archeological organizations. Phase 1 surveys can be expected to vary in cost per mile of right -of -way or by the number of acres impacted. We encourage you to contact a number of consulting firms and compare examples of each firm's work to obtain the best product. Documentation of ground disturbance should include a description of the disturbance with confirming evidence. Confirmation can include current photographs and/or older photographs of the project area, which illustrate the disturbance (approximately keyed to a project area map), past maps or site plans that accurately record previous disturbances, or current soil borings that verify past disruptions to the land. if you have any questions concerning archeology, please call Nancy Herter at (518) 237 -8643 ext. 3280.

Thank you in advance for your assistance with this matter. Sincerely, Brian C. Davis Ellicott District Councilmember "Communication is the key for a better tomorrow" September 2, 2008 Guillermo "Willie" Ruiz 420 Niagara Street Buffalo, New York 14201 Councilman Brian Davis Buffalo City Hall Niagara Square Buffalo, New York 14202 Dear Councilman Davis, I trust all is well with you upon your receipt of this correspondence. Most recently I purchased a vacant HUD home at 213 -215 Virginia Street, Buffalo, NY 14201. My intention is to remediate the home for my personal use with an investment of about $40000 beyond the purchase price. 'T'here is an empty lot next to the home at the comer of Virginia and Prospect which I would like to acquire from the City of Buffalo. Currently it is recognized as a park for a lack of a better terns, but given its inherent attraction to the indigent for no good purpose, I feel that personal ownership will add much more to the aesthetics of the neighborhood. My intention would be to fence and landscape the lot at its perimeter and as a result, I feel it would Iook a lot better than it does now. By copy of this correspondence, I respectfully request your assistance in my obtaining; the empty lot. If you have any questions, I can be reached at my personal phone at 866 -5655, or at my store at 883-7959. Sincerely, Guillermo Ruiz Cc : File 331 Breckenridge — 3 ground ladders stolen from premises 858 West — .Multiple windows broken, called 911, the police did not respond, went to B District, they had no report for the address, 911 never sent the call. We had a witness but no arrest or restitution was made. 735 Plymouth — Due to an arson fire at 733 Plymouth, new sidewalks were installed. A gang made several passes and market the next concrete. Police were called and a report was taken. Later that evening, I as attacked by the gang and had a brick thrown at me just missing my head — the brick also missed hitting one of my tenants and her child. We called 91.1 twice and no police came, we waited 2 -112 hours. 897 'Nest -- A gunshot was fired through the first floor apartment. Nothing became of the event and police passed it off as my tenants' children. 2008 394 Fargo -- Someone broke into the house and removed all the copper plumbing. 358 Breckenridge — A man was murdered on the front lawn of my house. 887 West Our vehicles have been vandalized on numerous occasions -- we had a spray paint incident, our convertible roof was cut and the radio stolen, personal lawn decorations are stolen. The neighborhood has had over 20 arson fires, numerous burglaries, robberies and murders. We fear to walk the streets. This should be a priority, the safety of the citizens not the height of our grass or what kind of chair someone has on their porch. City owned properties are not maintained to the standards that you want the citizens to follow. You do not remove snow from your properties, yet you fine me when my tenant was hospitalized --- when I requested a hearing they say they never received lny citation. I sent in another request and it was returned to me. The police are issuing tickets for high grass, you should send them to horticulture school because they cannot distinguish high grass from plants and rose bushes. At 735 Plymouth the grass is in the lot next door. This house was destroyed by an arson fire, yet I repeived the ticked because the officer thought it was a lot connected to my house. Our son was cutting grass at one of our properties, he was solicited by a prostitute. People have sex in cars outside of our house and daily the prostitutes "walk" West Ferry and surrounding states. Several drug houses hove been raised, one next door to a house we own and another two houses away. Drug activity is rampant.

Our 23 unit condominium is directly across this development site and experience the greatest immediate and long term impact from this project. Members of our board have attended meetings with both developers and discussed issues such as parking, construction, timetables and financial resources of both companies including their development track record. It is also our understanding that a (nixed use project is preferred for this site. After looking at both of these proposals, we strongly recommend approval of the Ciminelli off ce /hotel proposal. The visual impact of this building is much nicer than a generic Wingate Inn and their project recognizes the parking limitations and incorporates significant indoor parking. Inclusion of class A office space and a Hilton Hotel would provide the city with a signature building and much greater tax revenue than a single use four story hotel.

The draft reports Valley Community Center were submitted by South Buffalo Development 93 Leddy Street Corporation under New York's Brownfield Buffalo, NY 14210 Cleanup Program (BCP). NYSDEC is currently reviewing an application submitted by South Buffalo Development Corporation to participate in the BCP. The application proposes that the site will be used for commercial purposes. South Buffalo Development Corporation and NYSDEC invite you to a public meeting to discuss the draft Remedial Work Plan to address contamination at the former Buffalo Color Site. You are encouraged to provide comments at the meeting, or during the 45 -day Public Comments About the Draft Reports NYSDEC is accepting written public comments about the draft RI, AA. and RWP for 45 days, from September 3 through October 17, 2001. The draft reports are available for public review at the locations identified at the end of this fact sheet. Brownfieid Cieanup Prograrrr; thew York's Brown field Cleanup Program (BCP) encourages the voluntary cleanup of contaminated properties known as "brownfieids" so that they can be reused and redeveloped. These uses include recreation, housing and business. A brownfield is any property that is difficult to reuse or redevelop because of the presence or potential presence of contamination. For more information about the BCP, visit: www.dec.ny.qovichemical/8450.htrnI alternatives for the Buffalo Color Site. Written comments should be submitted to: Ms. Linda Ross NYSDEC Region 9 270 Michigan Avenue Buffalo, NY 14203 Highlights of the Reports The Remedial Investigation (RI) describes the scientific studies which were performed to better understand the site soils, groundwater and soil vapor. The Alternative Analysis (AA) presents the cleanup Buffalo Color September 2008 2 The Remedial Work Plan has several goals: 1) to identify cleanup levels to be attained or the process to be used to determine these levels; 2) to explain why the Remedial Work Plan concludes that the results of the cleanup will protect public health and the environinent; and 3) to provide a detailed description of the cleanup actions selected to address site contamination. The work would be performed by South Buffalo Development Corporation with oversight by NYSDEC and the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH). Cleanup activities defined in the remedial work plan include: • Removing asbestos and demolishing buildings; • Removing any remaining tanks and chemicals; • Excavating contaminated soils; • Installing a barrier wall along the Buffalo River in Area A and continuing operation of the groundwater extraction system in Area A; • Remediating the sewer system; • Disposing of all hazardous or significantly contaminated materials in an approved offsite facility; • Providing for a cover system over the entire site; • Providing for soil vapor cleanup systems in all new buildings oil site; and • Collecting additional field data to assist in the design of groundwater and soil remediation. Next Steps NYSDEC will consider public comments when it completes its review of the Remedial Investigation, Alternative Analysis and Remedial Work Plan. The draft reports will be available for public viewing at the locations identified at the end of this fact sheet. NYSDEC is also still reviewing the Application to the Brownfield Cleanup Program. If NYSDEC approves the Application and Remedial Work Plan, South Buffalo Development Corporation would proceed with the design and construction of the site remedy. Because of the complex engineering involved with the design and construction of the planned cleanup activities, it is estimated that design and construction activities will take about five full years. Additional submittals, such as engineering designs, will be submitted on a schedule to be included in the final Remedial Work Plan. A public meeting about the cleanup plan at the former Buffalo Color site will be held Thursday September 25, 2008 at 7prn at the Valley Community Center, 93 Leddy Street, Buffalo, NY 14210. At the meeting, representatives from South Buffalo Development, LLC, NYSDEC and NYSDOII will be available to explain the RA Work Plan and answer questions from the public. NYSDEC will keep the public infonned during the cleanup process at the former Buffalo Color Site with fact sheets similar to this one. Background The BCC plant occupies approximately 42 acres of land adjacent to the Buffalo River. The area surrounding the BCC site is currently zoned for heavy industry. For over one hundred years, the BCC facility has been involved in the continuous production of dyestuffs and organic chemicals. In 2005, Honeywell, a potentially responsible party, conducted a cleanup effort called in interim corrective measure (ICM). The lCM included: • installing a groundwater extraction system in Area A to control the migration of groundwater to the Buffalo River; • controlling the discharge location of groundwater in Areas B, C and E; • repairing a breach in the sewer sheet pile in Area E for proper water drainage at the site; • performing stream bank erosion control in Area A; and • properly disposing of all materials generated during cleanup at an off -site pennitted location. South Buffalo Development Corporation plans to purchase the property and develop the site for commercial purposes in accordance with community plans as discussed in the "Elk Street Redevelopment Area Report" prepared by Wendel Duchserer for the Buffalo Urban Development Corporation.

Crannis Commissioner SEQR LEAD AGENCY DESIGNATION BUFFALO NIAGARA MEDICAL CAMPUS NORTH END DEVELOPMENT CITY OF BUFFALO, ERIE COUNTY The Department has received your proposal to develop the North end of the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus. We have reviewed the project and have the following comments: Since project activities will involve land disturbance of over 1 acre, the project sponsor is required to obtain a State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System General Permit (GP -0 -08 -001) for Stormwater Discharge from Construction Activities. A Notice of Intent (NOI) is required to be sent to NOTICE OF INTENT, NYSDEC, Bureau of Water Permits, 625 Broadway, 4'F" Floor, Albany, New York 12233 -3505, telephone: 518/402- 8111 and approved before construction commences. The General Permit GP -0 -08 -001 and NOI form are available on the Department's website at ww gov We have included the NOT form with a copy of this letter to the project owner. This General Permit requires the project owner or operator to control stormwater runoff according to the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, which is to be developed prior to filing NOI and prior to commencement of the project. 2. Please be aware that if asbestos exists in the building to be demolished /renovated, the protection of workers is regulated by the New York State Department of Labor (71.61847- 71.26) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 716/684 -3891. In addition, the disposal of friable (readily crumbled and brittle) asbestos is regulated by this Department under 6 NYCRR Part 360- 2.17(p).

LLP i qtr Y NOTICE OF DESIGN APPROVAL NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION PROJECT IDENTIFICATION NO. 5512.46 NY ROUTE 33 KENSINGTON EXPRESSWAY FROM NY ROUTE 954D, ELM -OAK ARTERIAL TO NY ROUTE 198 LANDSCAPING AND RETAINING WALL RAIL REPLACEMENT CITY OF BUFFALO The New York State Department of Transportation granted design approval for the above mentioned project on July 3, 2008. Design approval constitutes the Department of Transportation's final decision to proceed with the construction of this project. Design approval is based in part on the Final Design Report for PIN 5512.46 dated .tune 2008, and on the Department's "categorical exclusion" classification in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 as amended. The approved design provides for removing the top portion of the retaining walls and the bridge railing on the walls adjacent to NY Route 33 between NY Route 198 and the Elm - Oak Arterial (NY 954D). The top portion of the retaining wail will be reconstructed and new barrier installed. The pavement of Humboldt Parkway, BNFC Drive and Cherry Street will be milled and a new asphalt overlay will be placed. The curb -to -curb width on these roadways will be narrowed approximately seven feet in areas where the additional pavement width is not necessary to accommodate existing or projected traffic volumes. The narrowing of the roadway will allow the addition of landscape enhancements, including trees and stamped and colored concrete. The retaining wall- mounted light standards will also be replaced under this project. In addition, sidewalk curb ramps and detectable warnings will be placed at the intersections within the project area. The proposed improvements will be paid for with Federal and State Highway Improvement Funds. The estimated construction cost for this project is $ 14.3 M. Construction is expected to begin in June of 2009 and be completed in December of 2011. All maps, drawings, sketches and other information concerning the design approval is available for public inspection during business hours at the office of the Regional Director, New York State Department of Transportation, 100 Seneca Street, Buffalo, NY 14203. The Final Design Report has also been forwarded to the Central Branch of the Buffalo and Erie County Public Library and will be made available for review.

HOUSTON TASHENEEUBANKS CHAIRMAN EDUCATION _ MINORITY BUSINESS ENTLRPRISE COMMITTEES COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT I write to clarify capital budget requests from the Masten District pertaining; to Martin Luther .King, Jr. Park. The redevelopment of Martin Luther King, Jr. Park has been an ongoing project for the past nine years. Many enhancements have been accomplished. Improvements of green spaces, completion of phase I of the renovation of the wading pool, anticipated renovation of the bathrooms along; with other improvements, total over 3 million dollars. Thousands of planning and community meeting hours to chart the total rehabilitation have also been done. Almost half the funding; has been acquired by levering; City of Buffalo resources with private, State and Federal funds. To fully complete phase 11 of the MLK park renovations, the estimated funding required, according; to the last figures by Wendel Duchscherer, is about $3.5 million dollars. Currently there is about I million dollars in outside commitments, reducing; the need to $2.5 n - iillion dollars. This amount is the amount requested by the Masten Council's Office and. it is lower than the past few years. Currently there is a new proposal to expand the borrowing limit for park improvements. Although the proposal has merit, in terms of park improvements, it seems that the possibility of increasing; the debt limit is not likely. The Masten Council District stands by the request this year and past year's requests to include the Second phase of renovation work at MLK Park in the regular capital budget of the City o lufl'alo.

Many meetings are held without even one single resident in attendance; and Whereas: The public could he better served by making a simple change to the Common Council rules of order to allow for Council Meetings to start at 6:00 pm.; Now, Therefore be it Resolved: That pursuant to Section 3 -11 of the Charter, the Common Council amends its rules of order, specifically Rule 1, to state that all meetings of the Common Council will take place at 6:00 o'clock pm.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: Based upon a thorough review and examination of the Project Documents and upon the Council's knowledge of the area surrounding the Project Site and such further investigation of the Project and its environmental effects as the Council has deemed appropriate, considering both the magnitude and importance of each environmental impact indicated, the Council has determined that with respect to the Project, no potentially adverse significant impacts on the environment are noted in the Environmental Assessment Form and none are known to the Council, and the Project will not have a significant adverse impact upon the environment. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED. The reasons supporting this determination are as follows: 1. The Project consists of the construction of a 53,000 square foot (sf) addition to an existing Hospital, including a helipad, to enable the expansion of the Applicant's Emergency Department. The construction will take place in an urban area on land, which is already developed and committed to Hospital use. 2. Land use conditions on the Site will not change as a result of the Project. The Applicant already operates out of the existing Hospital and the Project is a 10% expansion and improvement upon the Hospital's use of the Site to accommodate increased patient volumes, equipment, and public health needs. -2- 3. The Project will not result in significant generation or disposal of any liquid or solid waste and will not entail the types of activities or operations that are associated with a significant potential. for groundwater or surface water contamination. 4. The Project will not be a significant source of air emissions or odors. S. The Site does not possess significant ecological value. There are no sensitive animals, plants or natural communities and /or significant wildlife habitat that will be impacted by the development of the Project. 6. Operation of the Project Facility is not expected to appreciably increase ambient noise levels, and any increase in ambient noise levels will occur infrequently due to the 8 -10 flights per month from use of the helipad and will be of short duration. 7. The Project will not result in population growth, and generally is in character with adjacent residential and commercial development. The new construction will improve the Site's relationships to the neighboring park and residential areas with the addition of new landscaping, improved traffic flow, and the removal of existing surface parking lots. Of the total area impacted by the Project, 30% will be green space after completion. S. The Project will not convert any land that is committed to agricultural use. 9. The Site does not contain any scenic views known to be important to the community, however the Project will be visible from Cazenovia Park ( "Park ") across Abbott Road. The view of the Hospital from the Park will be enhanced by the Project because of the aesthetically pleasing design of the Emergency Department addition, removal of surface parking lots, and the upgrade of the Hospital's landscaping, which includes a landscaped courtyard at the corner of Abbott Road. and Lorraine Avenue. The elongated styling of the addition will be the backdrop for abundant trees and low plantings, all of which will contribute to a harmonious transition from the Park to the Hospital. 10. The Site does not contain any historically significant resources. As the site previously has been developed, it lacks the characteristics which would suggest the potential presence of significant archaeological resources. The elongated design of the Emergency Department addition to the Hospital and the addition of landscaping will not serve to detract from the architecture of the existing Hospital. 11. The Site is developed and occupied by Hospital facilities. It does not comprise public open space and is not used for recreation. 1.2. The Project is not located in or substantially contiguous to any Critical Environmental Area. 13. Existing utility lines serve the Project and no significant improvements are necessary to accommodate the Project. -3- 14. The detailed traffic study prepared by the Applicant concluded that the Project will not significantly impact traffic levels on Abbott Road. In addition, though not required for mitigation, Applicant will work with the City Department of Public Works to convert Choate Avenue to a two -way street between Abbott Road and Mercy Street to provide an ambulance exit and facilitate traffic circulation. 15. Considering all of the above, the Project will not have a significant adverse impact upon the environment and a negative declaration pursuant to SEQRA is hereby issued. 16. This Negative Declaration has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of SEQRA (Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law.) NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED That the President of the Council and Council Staff are hereby authorized and directed to distribute appropriate notice of this Resolution to all potential interested and/or involved agencies and to do such further things or perform such acts as may be necessary or convenient to implement the provisions of this Resolution.
