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 Nardin Academy Building Additions Location: 135 Cleveland Avenue Type of Action: Unlisted - Uncoordinated Description: Nardin Academy is proposing the construction of a 3,800 SF three story addition to the elementary school wing at the West side of the existing building, and a 3,300 SF addition to the High School Wing at the East side of the existing building with interior improvements on the property located at 135 Cleveland Avenue Buffalo New York. The new and re-configured space will accommodate improvements to the existing academic areas, such as the enlarged and improved High School Orchestralinstrumental Music and Art/Photography Suites, provide space for new areas of instruction and to provide improvements to support functions such as an enlarged High School Guidance Suite. There will be no increase in student of faculty population and none of the existing on site parking areas will be disturbed. New landscaping will be installed North of the proposed High School addition as well as along the parking lot on Auburn Avenue. The project is privately funded at a cost of $1,000,000. 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: This proposed project will allow Nardin Academy to continue to grow and provide a high quality education to the students it serves. 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. For further information relative to this Negative Declaration, contact Mr. Martin Grunzweig, Land Use Controls Coordinator, Room 801 City Hall, Buffalo New York 14202 — (716) 851 -5085.

Grillo City of Buffalo Office of Strategic Planning 901 City Hall Buffalo, New York 14202 Phone: (716) 851 -5086 January 14, 2009 Facts and Conclusions Relied on to Support the Decision: i' Kaleida Health, Ciminelli Development and the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus submitted various applications to the City of Buffalo (City) associated with the BNMC -North End Projects. SEQRA requires state or local governments to assess the potential environmental impacts of their actions during the planning, review, and decision - malting processes for those actions. The public (City County State) approvals and permits required for the individual BNMC —North End Projects constitute the "Action" subject to .SEQRA. The intent of SEQRA is to ensure that governmental decision- making is a balance of social, economic, and environmental factors be considered and weighed in reaching decisions on proposed activities or actions. Therefore, Agencies must determine whether a proposed action may have a significant effect on the environment, and if so, prepare or request that an environmental impact statement be prepared. Pursuant to SEQRA, the City of Buffalo Planning Board determined that the Action was a Type I Action and sought and received concurrence from other Involved and Interested Agencies to be the Lead Agency. Then, on September 23, 2008, the Planning Board determined that cumulatively, the Projects may have a significant impact upon the environment and issued a Positive Declaration, requiring the Project Sponsors to prepare a DGEIS in accordance with the Planning Board- approved Scope. The Project Sponsors prepared and submitted the DGEIS to the Planning Board for review. On October 7, 2008, the Planning Board found the DGEIS to be in compliance with 6 NYCRR Part 617.9(b), and made a determination that it was adequate to begin public and agency review. The DGEIS was provided to all Involved and Interested Agencies and to the public at various repositories and on the City of Buffalo's website. The subsequent public comment period began on October 7, 2008 and concluded on November 18, 2008. A public hearing on the DGEIS was held at the Buffalo & Eric County Public Library on November 6, 2008. Input from the public review process was received in the form of written comments to the Planning Board throughout the public comment period and as oral /written comments received during; the public hearing. The Planning Board determined that all the comments should be addressed in the form of a FGEIS. After reviewing the comments, the Planning Board requested that the Project Sponsors prepare the FGEIS. Pursuant to 6 NYCRR Part 6179(b)(8), the Planning Board reviewed the FGEIS prepared by the Applicants and determined that the FGEIS was complete on January 13, 2009. On January 15, the FGEIS was provided to all Involved and Interested Agencies and to the public at various repositories and on the City of Buffalo's website. The FGEIS addresses specific substantive comments raised during the public comment period and discusses mitigation measures which should be used to minimize potential negative impacts from the Projects to the maximum extent practicable. The Zoning; Board of Appeals, as an Involved. Agency in this process, received and reviewed all of the _r i_ n_ r _ I `Inns) rr„1„.

Kaleida is seeking a Restricted Use Permit for Human Services Facilities to relocate its existing Community Mental Health Center ( "CMHC ") from its current location at the corner of Ellicott and Goodrich Streets to the proposed site at 1010 -1028 Main Street, Buffalo, New York ( "Project Site ") Kaleida has provided information in its LOI supporting its position that the CMHC needs to be relocated to accommodate the construction of the proposed Global Vascular Institute ( "GVI "). The new location will provide more modern facilities and easier access for patients. All of the services are outpatient only and are currently operating at the existing facility. The relocation of these services will not result in an increase in services offered in the neighborhood and the New York State Department of Health specifically required Kaleida to relocate the CMHC within close proximity to its existing facility. The ZBA has, pursuant to Code§ 511- 136(C) received and reviewed a detailed description of the proposed use including an estimation of the number of individuals to be served at the facility over a stated time period; the number of residents to be housed; the activities and programs anticipated at the facility, the hours of operation; and the degree of supervision at the facility, as follows: Adult Mental Health Outpatient Clinic - 0 Floor- East -- (40 -50 clients a day -- Hours: 8 a.m. — 4:30p.m. (Mon., Weds., Thurs, and Fri.); 8 a.m. --- 'l p.m. Tues)) Providing comprehensive outpatient treatment services provided by skilled counselors, psychiatric nurse practitioners and psychiatrists, including: daily mental health intake assessments (no appointment necessary); individual and group counseling; medication evaluation and monitoring; treatment for a wide array of psychiatric disorders, including, but not limited to: depression, anxiety, obsessive- compulsive disorder and schizophrenia, utilizing evidence -based therapy modalities.)

Providing Case Management {case managers provide ongoing services to individuals or groups with chronic behavioral health issues; services include monitoring, advocacy, linkage and referral); Dually diagnosed treatment (counselors provide treatment to individuals who are diagnosed with a mental illness and chemical dependency; treatment includes one -to -one sessions and therapies. cognitive behavioral in dialectical behavior therapy); Post Traumatic Syndrome .Disorder treatment (this specialized treatment has been developed to address the unique needs of men and women who struggle with symptoms due to having the dual diagnoses of PTSD and addiction; therapists are trained in specific protocols to deal i 4 with PTSD in both one -to -one sessions and group therapy; Clozaril clini (the medication `Clozaril' has C)eeti successful 111 the truatinelll of sJuizopluf:1 ia; ilarsG manage Llic care of 4ticsc indIvidua in one -to -one sessions, group treatment and monitoring of routine blood work); MICAID program (the MICAID Program seeks to help patients avoid the need for hospitalization through intensive services to individuals who are diagnosed with a mental illness and chemically dependency; the goal is to assist with compliance, stabilization and linkage for appropriate ongoing treatment; assistance with entitlements and community needs are also provided.) Continuing Day Treatment Pro ram- 3` Floor- East -- (40 -50 clients per day /all day; Hours: 8:30 a.m. -- 4:30 p.m. (Mon. — Fri.))

Addiction Clinic- t ad Floor - West - -(60 clients per day -- Hours: 9 a.m. -- 7 p.m. (Mon. -- Thurs.); 9 a.m. -- 5 p.m. (Fri.)) Offering outpatient assessment and treatment to individuals and families suffering from alcohol or drug addictions. All clinics are certified by the New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services. The clinics work closely with physicians, community agencies and the criminal justice system; and, The ZBA, pursuant to Code §511- 136(C) , after receiving and reviewing a detailed description of the proposed use as detailed above, and fully reviewing and discussing this matter, concludes that: the proposed facility at 1010 -1028 Main Street is a relocation of the existing CMHC located at 80 Goodrich Street; the move is necessitated by the need to construct Kaleida's proposed Global Vascular Institute adjacent to Buffalo General Hospital; the existing CMFIC is only 750 linear feet from the Project Site, and as such, the relocation will not bring new services to the neighborhood; the New York State Department of Health specifically required that the CMHC be kept in this neighborhood; and, the Project Site keeps the CMI-1C in the neighborhood and establishes a new state -of- -the -art facility in close proximity to Kaleida's facilities on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus. The ZBA, based on all of the foregoing, concludes, pursuant to Code §511- 136(C), that the there is a pressing need for such use at the proposed location and that this use will not adversely impact the nature and character of the area in which the facility is to be based. Additionally, the ZBA has, pursuant to Code §511- 136(D) received and reviewed a detailed description of the impact of the proposed use on the area in which the facility is to be based, including the concentration of existing regulated uses, including the: Research Institute on Addictions, 1021 Main Street; the Salvation Army, 960 Main Street; ERIC, Main; 1000 Main Street; and The Center for Hospice & Palliative Care, 892 Main Street. The ZBA, based on all the foregoing, pursuant to Code §511- 136(D), concludes that the relocation of the CMHC to Main Street will be consistent with existing uses in this block of Main Street; that the CMHC is already operating in this neighborhood and is consistent with surrounding uses; and, that relocating the CMIIC to Main Street will not affect the character of the neighborhood. Pursuant to the State Environmental Quality Review Act, Article 8 of New York Environmental Conservation Law and 6 NYCRR Part 617 ( "SEQRA "), a governmental agency is required, prior to taking action on an application, to undertake an environmental review of a project to assess whether the action has the potential to have significant adverse environmental impacts. The Project Sponsors have prepared a Draft Generic Environmental Impact Statement ( "DGEIS ") and Final Generic Environmental Impact Statement ( "FGEIS ") for the entire North End Development on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus. The City of Buffalo Planning Board ( "Planning Board "), as Lead Agency, has reviewed the DGEIS and FGEIS and deemed them complete. Pursuant to the process set forth in the DGEIS, FGEIS and the Findings Statement, the Applicant has prepared and submitted to the ZBA the aforementioned FEAF specifically for the relocation of the CMHC to 1010 -1028 Main Street to assist the ZBA in reviewing the potential impacts of this request. The DGEIS and FGEIS also specifically analyzed the potential impact of relocating the CMHC to the Project Site and found that the impacts were minimal. As such, the proposed relocation of the CMHC was fully analyzed as part of the Planning Board's SEQRA review and the Zoning Board of Appeals has determined and concurs that the requested Restricted Use Permit is consistent with the analysis and findings of the City of Buffalo Planning Hoard as evidenced by its Findings Statement dated January 27, 2009. Therefore, the ZBA joins in the determination of the Planning Board that the potential environmental impacts of relocating the CMHC to the Project Site are minimal. Kaleida Health will be required to comply with all mitigation measures identified in the Planning Board's Finding Statement. CONCLUSION After evaluating the cumulative environmental, economic, and social impacts of the proposed relocated Community Mental health Center at 1010 -1028 Main St., in the City of Buffalo, New York, the City of Buffalo Zoning Board of Appeals is adopting a feasible, prudent, and practicable alternative which best balances environmental impacts with social, economic, and other essential considerations, and that allows for mitigation of all environmental impacts to the greatest extent reasonable and practicable. Certification to Approve: Having considered. the DGEIS, FGEIS, FEAF and the Findings Statement of the City of Buffalo Planning Board, as Lead Agency, and having considered the proceedings, facts, and conclusions relied on to meet the requirements of 6 NYCRR Part 617 (State Environmental Quality Review Act [SEQRA]) the Statement of Findings certifies that: The City of Buffalo Zoning Board of Appeals has considered the relevant environmental impacts, facts, and conclusions disclosed in the DGEIS and the FGEIS and their supporting materials; 2. The City of Buffalo Zoning Board of Appeals has weighed and balanced the relevant environmental impacts with social, economic, and other considerations; 3.

Enclosed is a copy of the letter mailed to off -site property owners informing all the property owners about the contaminated soil left behind at off- site properties and make it aware that the owners should contact the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) prior to initiating any invasive work in the areas where subsurface soil contamination was not removed. As indicated in the August 2005 Record of Decision Amendment, the soil cleanup goal for the off site properties was based on the current zoning of these properties as commercial. The Department has spent approximately $10 million to clean up the site and the off -site properties. The 858 East Ferry Street site is remediated for unrestricted future use. The off -site properties were remediated for future commercial use based on the current zoning of these properties. Therefore, the Department requests the City of Buffalo to retain the current zoning; of the off site properties as commercial.

Name of Action: Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus — North End Development Project Sponsors: Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus Ciminelli Development, Inc. Kaleida Health SEQRA Status: Type 1, Positive Declaration Description of Action: There are four proposed projects which are proposed for the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus — North End ( "BNMC — North End "). The four proposed projects (collectively hereinafter referred to as the "Projects ") include a Global Vascular Institute ("W") and an updated Emergency Department adjacent to Buffalo General Hospital ( "BGH "); a new Medical Office Building ( "MOB ") across from Buffalo General; a Skilled Nursing Facility ( "SNP), and a 1,200- 1,600 -space multi -modal transportation structure ( "MMTS ") in the vicinity of GVI, BGH, MOB and SNF. The four proposed projects are summarized as follows: • The Global Vascular Institute and updated emergency department for Buffalo General Hospital. This building will be 500,000 to 600,000 square feet (sq. ft.). • A new Medical Office Building, which will be a maximum of 300,000 sq. ft. • The Skilled Nursing Facility at a maximum of 225,000 sq. ft. • A multi -modal transportation structure that can accommodate 1,200 to 1,600 cars. Location: Each of these Projects will be sited on the BNMC — North End. This area is generally bounded by East North Street to the north, Main Street to the west, High Street to the south and Maple Street to the East. Date FGEIS Accepted as Complete: January 13, 2009 Contact: William P. Grillo, Principal Planner City of Buffalo Office of Strategic Planning 901 City Hall Buffalo, New York 14202 Phone: (716) 851 -5086 RECEIVED AND FILED SUPPOR T iNG FACTS AND WORIWA T iON �_ G These Findings consider the relevant environmental, economic, and social impacts, facts, and conclusions disclosed in the Draft Generic Environmental Impact Statement (DGEIS) and Final Generic Environmental Impact Statement (FGEIS) for the BNMC -North End Projects. The Findings weigh and balance relevant environmental impacts with social, economic, and other considerations, and provide a rationale for the City of Buffalo Planning Board's decision regarding environmental impacts associated with the proposed action. These Findings also certify that the requirements of Article 8 of the New York Environmental Conservation Law and the implementing regulations, 6 NYCRR Part 617 (State Environmental Quality Review Act [SEQRAj), have been met. They further certify that the actions chosen are those which are consistent with social, economic, and other essential considerations from among the reasonable alternatives available, which avoid or minimize adverse environmental impacts to the maximum extent practicable, and that adverse environmental impacts will be avoided or minimized to the maximum extent practicable by incorporating, as conditions, those mitigation measures which were identified as practicable. The Applicants submitted various applications to the City of Buffalo (City) associated with the BNMC - North End Projects. SEQRA requires state or local governments to assess the potential environmental impacts of their actions during the planning, review, and decision - making processes for those actions. The public (City County State) approvals and permits required for the individual BNMC — North End Projects constitute the "Action" subject to SEQRA. The intent of SEQRA is to ensure that governmental decision - making is a balance of social, economic, and environmental factors be considered and weighed in reaching decisions on proposed activities or actions. Therefore, Agencies must determine whether a proposed action may have a significant effect on the environment, and if so, prepare or request that an environmental impact statement be prepared. Pursuant to SEQRA, the City of Buffalo Planning Board determined that the Action was a Type I Action and sought and received concurrence from other Involved and Interested Agencies to be the Lead Agency. Then, on September 23, 2008, the Planning Board determined that cumulatively, the Projects may have a significant impact upon the environment and issued a Positive Declaration, requiring the Project Sponsors to prepare a DGEIS in accordance with the Planning Board- approved Scope. The Project Sponsors prepared and submitted the DGEIS to the Planning Board for review. On October 7, 2008, the Planning Board found the DGEIS to be in compliance with 6 NYCRR Part 617.9(b), and made a determination that it was adequate to begin public and agency review. The DGEIS was provided to all Involved and Interested Agencies and to the public at various repositories and on the City of Buffalo's website. The subsequent public comment period began on October 7, 2008 and concluded on November 18, 2008. A public hearing on the DGEIS was held at the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library on November 6, 2008. Input from the public review process was received in the form of written comments to the Planning Board throughout the public comment period and as oral /written comments received during the public hearing. The Planning Board determined that all the comments should be addressed in the form of a FGEIS. After reviewing the comments, the Planning Board requested that the Project Sponsors prepare the FGEIS. Pursuant to 6 NYCRR Part 617.9(b)(8), the Planning Board reviewed the FGEIS prepared by the Applicants and determined that the FGEIS was complete on January 13, 2009. On January 15, the FGEIS was provided to all Involved and Interested Agencies and to the public at various repositories and on the City of Buffalo's website. The FGEIS addresses specific substantive comments raised during the public comment period and discusses mitigation measures which should be used to minimize potential negative impacts from the Projects to the maximum extent practicable. � FINDINGS AND CONDLUS101v0 C) A. Land Use and Zoning The BNMC — North End is an approximately 31.76 acre site bound by Main, East North, Maple and High Streets. The current land use in the area is predominately health care and parking. The blocks bound by Ellicott Street, East North Street, Michigan Avenue and High Street are controlled by Kaleida Health. The facilities on these blocks are Buffalo General Hospital (BGH), the Community Mental Health Center (CMHC), parking and the steam power plant for Kaleida. On the block bound by Ellicott, High, Goodrich and Main Streets, there is one structure that is used for the Physicians Imaging Center for Western New York. The rest of the block is used as parking. The block just north of this is bound by Goodrich, Main, East North and Ellicott Streets. This block has three structures: the City of Buffalo parking ramp; a one story building that houses a pharmacy and medical supply stores: and a multi -story building that houses the University at Buffalo Research Institute on Addictions. The block bordered by High, Maple, East North and Michigan is predominately vacant. There are six houses on this block, a parking lot and an abandoned gas station. In 2005, the City of Buffalo ( "City ") adopted the Queen City in the 21st Century, as its comprehensive plan. The plan requires that the City fix the basic components of its built and natural environments while also building on the strengths, including the health care and medical research potential of the BNMC. The BNMC is also highlighted in the Queen City Hub: A Regional Action Plan for Downtown Buffalo, as one of the five priority investment areas for downtown Buffalo. The BNMC — North End is also covered by two urban renewal plans. The Oak Street Urban Renewal Area and the Fruit Belt Urban Renewal Area. The Fruit Belt Urban Renewal Area covers the block bordered by High Street, Michigan Avenue, East North Street and Maple Street. The goals of the Fruit Belt Urban Renewal Plan are to: eliminate blighting conditions, upgrade community facilities, reinforce the affordable housing and encourage sound urban design. Residential uses and neighborhood commercial uses are specifically allowed in the area. The rest of the BNMC — North End is covered by the Oak Street Urban Renewal Plan. The stated goals of the Oak Street Urban Renewal Plan are to "foster the renewal and redevelopment of an area housing key hospital and related medical service, research and educational resources of the community." (Oak Street Urban Renewal Plan) Hospital and medical services are specifically permitted within this area. Impacrs The Projects may have the following impacts: • The SNF at Alternate Location A (east side of Michigan between E. North Street and High Street) would displace six residential structures and replace them with a commercial structure. This site would also require a rezoning from residential zoning (R- 2) to commercial zoning (C -1) to permit the construction of the SNF. This change is a potentially significant impact but could be mitigated through design considerations. • The construction of the GVI at its proposed location would require the closure of Goodrich Street and the demolition and relocation of the Community Mental Health Center. • Following the construction of the GVI, Goodrich Street will have service road entrances from East North Street and Michigan Avenue. Some who commented noted that there would be a potential negative impact upon the street grid if Goodrich is abandoned. Mitigation The following mitigation measures should be implemented to minimize the potential impacts: • The Community Mental Health Center should be relocated no more than 750 feet from its current location to remain within its current service area. • The SNF should be no higher than four stories, if at the Alternate Location A. • The SNF at Location A, should be constructed as a "transitional" building, erripioy'fig r building design compatible with the adjacent residential area including looking like four smaller residential structures of four stories each. • The design of the service roads should minimize impacts upon emergency services and local traffic flows. Fin dings Because the BNMC -North End Projects are consistent with existing zoning and community goals, the impacts to Land Use and Zoning are minimal. To the extent the proposed SNF is inconsistent with existing Land Use and Zoning, the Planning Board finds that the proposed mitigation measures will minimize the potential impacts of the Projects on Land Use and Zoning to the maximum extent practicable. B. Transportation The Projects Sponsors conducted an expansive Traffic Impact Study (TIS) which examined potential traffic impacts from the BNMC -North End Projects on the existing roadways. The TIS analyzed the GVI and the associated closing of Goodrich Street; the MOB; the SNF; and five proposed MMTS locations. The BNMC is bordered by Main Street on the west; Michigan Avenue on the east; Goodell Street to the south; and East North Street to the north. Traffic primarily enters the BNMC from Route 33 via Goodell Street and 1 -190 via Elm Street. Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority ( "NFTA ") provides public transportation into the BNMC. Multiple bus stops are located throughout the BNMC. Additionally, the NFTA provides light rail service to Allen - Hospital Station. The study area for the TIS, included all of the intersections and roadways within the BNMC and a number of surrounding intersections. As required by the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT), the study area included all intersections anticipated to see an increase of 100 or more peak - hour entering vehicles. The study area included 52 intersections and is generally bound by Main Street to the west, Best Street to the north, Michigan Avenue to the east and Tupper Street to the South. South of Tupper Street the study area extended along Elm and North Oak streets to Swan Street. The existing conditions analysis is based on traffic counts conducted in May, June and September of 2008. Data collection focused on the peak travel periods from 7:00 to 10,00 a.m. and 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. Individual intersection peak volumes were used in the analysis. Impacts Due to the addition of up to 1,200,000 square feet of health care space and a parking ramp, and the traffic associated therewith, the Projects will negatively impact the Level of Service at various intersections at, or in the vicinity of the BNMC during the peak hours of the day. Traffic impacts are largely dependent upon the location chosen for the proposed MMTS. The Project Sponsors analyzed two scenarios which reflect the placement of the MMTS along either Ellicott Street (Scenario #1) or Michigan Avenue (Scenario #2). The following approaches and intersections may be negatively impacted by the Projects: Future Scenario #1 • Carlton Street & Ellicott Street (unsignalized) o Ellicott North- and Southbound • Parking Structure Access & Ellicott Street ( unsignalized) o Access Eastbound left/right • Ellicott Street & High Street o Ellicott Street North- and Southbound • Main Street & Goodell Street o Main Northbound • Elm Street & Swan Street o Swan Westbound U Elm, Northbound • Allen Street & Ellicott Street (unsignaiized) o Allen Eastbound • Virginia Street & Ellicott Street (unsignalized) o Virginia Westbound • Tupper Street & Ellicott Street o Ellicott Southbound • Michigan Avenue & Goodell Street o Michigan Southbound • Washington Street & Goodell Street o Washington Northbound • Oak Street & Goodell Street o Oak Southbound • Ellicott Street & Goodell Street o Ellicott North- and Southbound Future Scenario #2 • Virginia Street & Michigan Avenue o Michigan Northbound • North Street & Michigan Avenue o North Westbound • Elm Street & Swan Street o Swan Westbound o Elm Northbound • Main Street & Goodell Street o Main Northbound • Washington Street & Goodell Street o Washington Northbound • Oak Street & Goodell Street o Oak Southbound • Ellicott Street & Tupper Street o Ellicott Southbound • Michigan Avenue & Goodell Street o Michigan Southbound • Michigan Avenue & Carlton Street o Michigan Southbound Mitigation The following mitigation measures should be implemented to minimize the potential impacts. • Throughout construction, the Project Sponsors should coordinate their mitigation measures with all relevant local agencies, including, but not limited to: the New York State Department of Transportation, Erie County Department of Public Works, the City of Buffalo Department of Public Works and the Niagara Frontier Transportation Association. Under future Scenario #1, the following mitigation measures are recommended: • Add southbound through -lane on Ellicott Street just north and south of High Street. This mitigation measure will require the loss of on- street parking south of High Street and a drop -off area north of High Street; • Add southbound left -turn lane on Ellicott Street at the intersection with Oak Street. This mitigation measure will require the loss of on- street parking north of Oak Street; • Provide dual left -turn lanes for southbound traffic on Ellicott Street at Tupper Street; • Installation of a signal at Ellicott Street and Carlton Street; and Optimize signal splits and/or cycle lengths at the following intersections: • Tupper Street & Ellicott Street; • High Street & Ellicott Street; • Ellicott Street & Goodell Street; and • Goodell Street & Oak Street (the recommended changes do not significantly affect signal coordination on Oak Street). The poor Level of Service (LOS) for the intersection of Elm Street and Swan Street cannot be mitigated. The long delays at this intersection were noted in the no -build conditions analysis for the AM peak hour without the addition of the BNMC -North End Development traffic. The anticipated Project trips added to this intersection are a small share of the overall volumes (approximately 5 %). Under future Scenario #2, the following mitigation measures are recommended: • Restripe and sign the southbound Michigan approach to consist of a dedicated left -turn lane onto Cherry Street and exclusive through lane; and Optimize signal splits and/or cycle lengths at the following intersections: • Virginia Street & Michigan Avenue; • North Street & Michigan Avenue; • Main Street & Goodell Street; • Washington Street & Goodell Street; • Goodell Street & Oak Street (the recommended changes do not significantly affect signal coordination on Oak Street); • Tupper Street & Ellicott Street; • Michigan Avenue & Goodell Street; and • Michigan Avenue & Carlton Street. With these improvements, the study area intersections will operate at acceptable LOS except at the intersection of Elm Street and Swan Street (which already has a poor LOS) for both future Scenarios; providing improved access and egress to the BNMC -North End Development and the BNMC campus as a whole. Findings The Planning Board finds that the mitigation measures proposed will minimize the potential impacts of the BNMC -North End Projects on the transportation system to the maximum extent practicable. C. Parking A parking study was performed by the Project Sponsors to identify the potential needs and impacts associated with the construction and operation of the Projects. Currently, there are 2,325 off - street and 231 on- street parking spaces on the BNMC — North End. Approximately 23% of the trips to the BNMC are made by transit, carpooling, walking or other forms of transportation rather than single- occupancy vehicles. This indicates that 77% of visitors arrive by car and require parking. The overall average utilization for off - street parking lots is 79% during the peak parking hour (1:00 p.m., weekdays.) and the overall utilization of off- street parking spaces is approximately 39% at peak parking hour. With the construction of the GVI and MOB, there is a need to expand parking options to service their increased needs. Also, during construction of the GVI, MMTS, SNF and MOB, up to 800 workers will be required if all sites were at peak labor needs at the same time. Impacts The Projects may result in the following impacts to parking resources: r .h i P ll ki � rn � t h ner r�rth e...� 1 • Tile Pr ojects will increase par king d n Gi r ' th e i� r�rv -Pv�� �r r c� ru by spaces. �- • Alternate Location B for the SNF would increase this demand by 374 -581 parking spaces, depending on the location chosen for the MMTS. • During construction, there will be a loss of surface parking areas combined with an increase in demand by the construction workers. If the peak of construction for all four structures is simultaneous, up to a maximum of 1791 parking spaces may be necessary to meet the construction- parking demands for the BNMC -North End, Mitigation The following mitigation measures should be implemented to minimize the potential impacts: • The total parking demand for the BNMC -North End will be 3,869 spaces. To reduce the impact from the increased parking demand, BNMC will construct the MMTS. Based on the 5 alternatives, the construction of 1,200 to 1,600 space MMTS will yield a net of 719 to 1,593 spaces. These additional spaces, in conjunction with the existing parking, will reduce the projected parking deficit for the BNMC -North End. The BNMC will implement a Transportation Demand Management ( "TDM ") Program which includes a collection of strategies to reduce vehicle trips and encourage alternative modes such as: • Financial incentives; • Transit programs; • Carpool programs; • Car or bike sharing programs; • Back -up programs (guaranteed ride home or occasional parking permits); and • Education and promotion. To mitigate for the displacement of parking spaces during construction staging and the increased demand from construction workers, the following steps will be taken: 0 520 available spaces in BNMC's southern lot will be utilized; o During construction Kaleida Health will partner with Roswell Park to provide parking and shuttle service for up to 700 workers; o Kaleida will also provide parking and a shuttle service from Deaconess Health Center for workers displaced during construction; o To mitigate the permanent parking deficit that would occur if the SN1= is at Location B, the BNMC has committed to investigating shuttle services for the entire campus; Findings The Planning Board finds that the combination of the MMTS and proposed TDM will effectively mitigate the impacts from the BNMC -North End developments after construction. During construction, utilizing existing capacity at lots in the vicinity of the BNMC will also mitigate the negative impacts of construction on parking resources. Therefore, the Planning Board finds that the mitigation measures proposed will minimize the potential impacts of the Projects on parking resources to the maximum extent practicable. D. Utilities The study area is well served with utilities. The City of Buffalo Division of Water provides water for domestic and fire - fighting needs. Smaller pipes were installed in the area as early as 1870 through 1914, with larger pipes installed in 1973, 1979, 1994 and 2004. Available hydrant flow test data for the BNMC - North End indicate an average static pressure of from 36 to 46 pounds per square inch ( "psi ") at a residual flow rate of 850 + - gallons per minute at 35 to 44 psi. The gravity sanitary sewer system includes pipes that range in size from 10" to 24" in diameter. The City of Buffalo has "combined" sewers, meaning that they convey storm water and sanitary sewage in the F_._� FI 1L: is 3 rcF. r+:a, aF-.., .. sairie piping nt twork to the City's treatment plant. However, in thy: par��cu�ar area of he City, then are parallel storm sewers into which roof runoff and parking area drainage will be directed. Electric service to the area is provided by Niagara Mohawk. Gas service is provided by National Fuel Gas Company. The present gas distribution system includes a 12" medium to high pressure gas main on East North Street. Impacts The Projects may result in the following impacts: • Water The tallest office building will likely require a fire pump to serve the highest floors, but the available flow at ground level should be sufficient to serve the new development for domestic and fire - fighting needs. • Sanitary Sewer Each new structure will have separate storm and sanitary sewer laterals. By separately connecting to the storm sewers, the Projects will reduce the stormwater flow burden on combined sewers. The gravity sanitary sewer system pipes are each of sufficient size to serve the MOB, SNF and GVI at the proposed locations. • Electric Service The National Grid engineering department has determined that the service to the area has to be upgraded to meet the demands of the development. • Gas Service This 12" medium to high pressure gas main on East North Street should be of sufficient capacity and pressure to serve the GVI and SNF. The MOB will likely require an extension of the higher pressure service from the 12" main south along Ellicott Street. • The abandonment of Goodrich Street will impact the ownership interests, access and utility infrastructure within this right -of -way. • The construction of the GVI may require the relocation of utility lines currently located under that portion of the Goodrich Street right -of -way. _Mitigation The following mitigation measures should be implemented to minimize the potential impacts: • Although sufficient water capacity is available, supplemental pumps for fire protection will be required to serve the highest floors of the GVI and MOB. • All developments must be built to applicable fire codes. • The project sponsors should work with National Grid to ensure the electric service is adequately upgraded for their needs. • The Project Sponsors will work with the City Department of Public Works and private utilities to ensure that levels of service from existing infrastructure will not be negatively impacted by the abandonment of Goodrich Street and the relocation of utilities lines necessitated by the construction of the GVI. • To the extent any City -owned infrastructure needs to be moved or removed, it will be subject to City approval and done at the applicant's expense. Findings The Planning Board finds that the mitigation measures proposed will minimize the potential impacts of the Projects on utilities to the maximum extent practicable. SJ and Aesthetic Resources Visual The Project Sponsors prepared a visual impact study which analyzed the existing aesthetic resources and the potential impacts of the proposed Projects on adjacent neighborhoods. Existing Building Massing Building scale within the BNMC -North End primarily consists of low -rise (1 -4 stories) and mid -rise buildings (5 -10 stories). Buffalo General Hospital is the exception at 17 stories. In general, building scale tends to increase as you move towards Ellicott Street, away from Main Street and Michigan Avenue. Building size also varies within the BNMC -North End. The BGH has a much larger footprint and vertical scale than the other structures in the BNMC — North End. The large size can appear to dwarf surrounding structures; however, significantly varying facades on the eastern end of the hospital mitigates this effect. Abundant vacant parcels and surface parking lots within the BNMC -North End dominate the streetscape, particularly along Main Street and Michigan Avenue. Approximately 90% of this area is either vacant or a surface parking lot. These expansive areas visually disturb the building massing of these streets. Vacant parcels dominate the space between Michigan Avenue and Maple Street, creating a sense of a deteriorating community. Surface parking lots located along Main Street and Michigan Avenue abut public sidewalks and disrupt the pedestrian experience. Building Styles and Materials Architectural styles within the BNMC -North End vary depending on use. In general, medical- related structures conform to various forms of Modern architecture. Building materials for these structures are generally restricted to concrete, glass and steel, brick and block and stone. In contrast, the residential structures within the area are primarily of Colonial Revival, Italianate and Queen Anne styling; they are constructed with wood -frame or brick. Lighting The BNMC produces a steady amount of light throughout the night. Existing lighting conditions are comprised primarily of interior and exterior building illumination, security lighting associated with open -air parking lots and pole - mounted lights along roadways. Much of the lighting is emitted from twenty -four hour medical facilities such as Buffalo General Hospital and Roswell Park Cancer institute. When viewed from surrounding areas, existing nighttime lighting at the Study Area is generally at higher levels when compared to the surrounding areas, particularly the adjacent Fruit Belt neighborhood to the east. impacts The Projects may result in the following impacts to aesthetic resources: • In general, visibility of the proposed Projects will be limited within the Allentown neighborhood due to existing development and tree cover. However, visibility is prominent at the corner of Allen Street and Main Street, as development is sparse along Main Street between Goodrich Street and High Street. • Visibility of the proposed Project from the Fruit Belt neighborhood and the City Honors Campus will be prominent from Michigan Avenue and Maple Street. The SNF will be constructed between these streets along East North Street and will significantly alter the existing conditions (largely vacant). • If the SNF is located at Alternate B, the project will largely impact the residents of Pilgrim Village. Miti_gafions The following mitigation measures should be implemented to minimize the potential impacts: • The SNF if at the Alternate Location A. should be no higher than four stories. • Lighting schemes for the buildings should follow best practices for minimizing light migration off of BNMC. Downward focused lights shall be utilized. I ,/ . ,/.

Findings The Planning Board finds that the mitigation measures proposed will minimize the potential impacts of the Projects on visual and aesthetic resources to the maximum extent practicable. F. Historic. Archaeoloaical and Cultural Resources Historic Buildings There are no buildings or sites in the BNMC — North End which are historic landmarks as designated either as a City landmark or by listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). There are a few sites adjacent to the North End that are listed on NRHP. In particular on the BNMC, but outside of the BNMC -North End, is the Trico Building located at 817 Washington Street. Other nearby properties are Fosdick Masten Park High School (City Honors) at Masten and East North Streets; and the M. Wile and Company Factory located at 77 Goodell Street. There are views of the BNMC from Fosdick Masten School. The Trico and M. Wile Buildings also have views of the BNMC since they are on or adjacent to the campus, however the views of the North End are limited. There are two buildings in the BNMC — North End which are eligible for the NRHP- The buildings are located at 177 East North Street and 336 Maple Street. Both are located on the block bound by East North, Maple, High Streets and Michigan Avenue. Four properties on the adjacent block were also identified as eligible for the NRHP (305 and 309 Maple Street and 195 and 204 High Street) Historic Districts There is one historic district (Allentown Historic Preservation District) adjacent to the BNMC — North End. The district is listed both on the NRHP and local directories. The district extends from the West side of Main Street on the east to Orton Place on the west between North Street on the north and Virginia Place on the south. With the exception of the Main Street corridor, this district has extremely limited views of the BNMC, due to the building massing and trees. Archaeological The BNMC — North End has been previously disturbed at almost all locations. In particular, at the High Street area there is approximately 10 feet of fill. While there is minimal chance that pre - historic finds will exist, there is a possibility of remnants of former urban developments that may be of historical significance. i n?paCfS The Projects may result in the following impacts on historic, archaeological or cultural resources: ■ Alternate Location A for the SNF may require the demolition of two NRHP - eligible properties. Direct impacts to NRHP - eligible structures will occur if the demolition of 177 East North Street and 336 Maple Street are required for the SNF. ■ The four potentially NRHP - eligible properties at 305 and 309 Maple Street and 195 and 204 High Street will not be directly impacted by any of the construction. However, there may be a minor visual impact due to the construction of the SNF across the street from these structures. w t nli__ h I____ 'fi ti d t hi s I h I s ites th 1)1, IAA!` No HIUIl3l1C�11 tI1CIC are no IUCifIIfICU I11JtVIlE�a1 UI archaeological s[LCb in. the UfVlvlv ll1 End, due to the historical dense urban development in the area, there is the possibility of encountering urban remnants of historical value during construction. Mitigation The following mitigation measures should be implemented to minimize the potential impacts: • If SNF is at Location A, the two structures located at 177 East North Street and 336 Maple Street may be demolished. Should this be necessary, the structures should be documented prior to demolition and historic elements of the properties should be salvaged to the extent practicable and in conjunction with the guidance of the New York State Historic Preservation Office. If any unanticipated archaeological finds are encountered during construction, work at that site will be halted and the New York State Historic Preservation Office will be called. • Massing of the SNF should be broken up in an effort to mitigate the visual impacts on the adjacent NHRP - eligible structures. • The SN1= should have a residential, pedestrian scale feel at street level and new greenspace to improve the aesthetic and environmental quality of the surrounding area. Findings The Planning Board finds that the most of the Projects will not significantly impact historic, archaeological or cultural resources. However, if the SNF is constructed at Location A, the mitigation measures proposed will minimize the potential impacts of the SNF on the historic, archaeological and cultural resources to the maximum extent practicable. G. Tonoaraphv. Geoloav and Soils The BNMC - North End is located on the Lower Great Lakes Physiographic province, on the lake plain of Lake Erie in Buffalo, New York. The lake plain is generally flat to slightly rolling, except where it is interrupted by the Onondaga Limestone subcrop, ancient beach ridges or end moraines associated with various glacial ice advances. Surface elevations within the BNMC - North End are approximately 665 feet along High Street to 650 feet along East North Street. This area is generally higher than areas to the north and south (USGS NED Dataset). Overburden soils in the BNMC — North End consist primarily of fill material at the ground surface. Fill material varies in thickness from 2 — to 10 feet across the BNMC - North End and is reportedly black to brown sand with varying amounts of gravel, bricks and slag. Soil underlying the fill is comprised of interbedded sands and silts that are brown to olive - brown in color. A review of existing well logs from the BNMC - North End indicates that soil characteristics are highly variable both vertically and horizontally across the BNMC - North End. Overburden soils are underlain by the Onondaga Limestone (bedrock), which is at approximately 100 feet below ground surface, at an elevation of approximately 565 +1- feet. Groundwater elevation measurements from existing wells north of High Street indicate that groundwater is approximately 20 to 30 feet below ground surface, or at an elevation of approximately 636 feet. Groundwater flow direction in this section of the BNMC — North End is reportedly to the north. Since the BNMC - North End is in an urban setting, there are no expected adverse impacts to site soils from the proposed construction. All Projects proposed for the BNMC — North End are expected to have subsurface foundations and likely occupied subsurface floors. Therefore, excavation will be required. However, overburden materials are approximately 100 feet in thickness; thus, blasting will not be required. %_'.1roundwater will riot be used IUl drinking supply of process suppl Stormwa anu vvaste orate dull, the facilities will be discharged to the city's sewer system. Groundwater is reportedly 20 to 30 feet below ground surface. Based on the proposed uses and developments, significant groundwater impacts are not expected. lmpacts Since the BNMC - North End is in an urban setting, there are no expected significant adverse impacts to topography, geology and soils from the proposed construction. However, there is the potential for the disturbance of existing contaminated soils on the project sites during construction. Additionally, excavations near existing foundations could cause instability if not handled properly. Mitigation The following mitigation measures should be implemented to minimize the potential impacts: • Given the nature of subsurface soils (primarily unconsolidated sands in the shallow subsurface), a soil management plan for excavation near existing structures will likely be required to assure structural integrity of existing building foundations is maintained. ■ If contaminated soils and/or groundwater are encountered during construction, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) will be notified. Contaminated soils, if encountered, would require proper disposal at a NYSDEC landfill. • Soil disturbance of over 1 acre will require a State Pollution Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) Permit from the NYSDEC. All applicable NYSDEC guidelines for soil disturbance associated with construction activities should be implemented. Findings The Planning Board finds that the mitigation measures proposed will minimize the potential impacts to topography, geology and soils from the proposed Projects to the maximum extent practicable. H. Neighborhood Character The proposed Project is surrounded by three unique neighborhoods including: downtown Buffalo, the Fruit Belt and Allentown, Downtown The neighborhood south of the proposed Projects is downtown Buffalo. Specifically, all of the properties east of Main Street, west of Michigan Avenue, north of Genesee Street and south of Goodell Street. Development within this area is low -rise (1 -4 stories) and of high - density. Land use within this portion of downtown Buffalo is primarily comprised of commercial and entertainment uses including: dining establishments, night clubs, bars, theaters and office space. Residential development, however, has seen a surge in recent years. Architecture within this portion of downtown Buffalo is primarily comprised of a variety of styles including Beaux Arts Classical Revival, Italianate and Modern. The area between Main and Washington Streets is part of the Theatre Preservation District, which was designated a Buffalo Local Preservation District in 1983 and is eligible for inclusion in the NRHP. Further south of this neighborhood is the main business district of downtown with mid- and high rise buildings ranging from 10 to 36 stories. Fruit Belt The Fruit Belt is a neighborhood centered around High Street and bordered by Jefferson Avenue to the east, Michigan Avenue to the west, Best Street to the north and the Kensington Expressway to the south. The Fruit Belt takes its name from the large number of orchards planted by its first residents of German c The na�,nes of the strects, including Pcach, Or Orange and Lcmo. Strc"acts, re a testament to the neighborhood's early development. Development within this area is low -rise and of medium - density. Land use within this neighborhood is primarily residential. The construction of the Kensington Expressway during the 1960's bisected the neighborhood, severing its cohesion. The structures are primarily of cottage, Italianate, Colonial Revival and {queen Anne architectural styling. According to the 2000 Census of Population and Housing, 94.5% of its 5,180 residents are minorities. Allentown Allentown is a neighborhood north of Goodell Street, south of North Street, east of Orton Place and west of Main Street. Development is low -rise and of high - density. Land use is primarily residential, although the neighborhood does have two major commercial thoroughfares in Allen Street and Elmwood Avenue. Both Allen Street and Elmwood Avenue are known for their eateries, cafes, bars, antique stores, art galleries and curio shops. Allentown is known for its diverse population; 37.1% of Allentown's 3,745 residents are minorities according to the 2000 Census of Population and Housing. Structures within Allentown were primarily built during the late- nineteenth century and are considered to belong to picturesque eclecticism style, an amalgamation of different architectural fads and trends popular during the last half of the nineteenth century. Allentown was designated a Buffalo Local Preservation District in 1978 and listed on the NRHP in 1980. Allentown is one of the oldest and largest residential historic districts in the United States !m acts No significant adverse impacts on neighborhood character are anticipated from the construction and operation of the MOB, MMTS or GVI (or the resulting relocation of the CMHC). Planned structures and uses are consistent with use and scale of existing structures within the BNMC and surrounding areas and as such, will not significantly alter neighborhood character of Downtown or Allentown. The SNF Location A is within the Fruit Belt neighborhood adjacent to the BNMC. This location would require the removal of six residential structures. This is not expected to have a significant adverse impact since the site is largely vacant (currently has only six residential structures on 32 parcels), an abandoned gas station and a surface parking lot, However, the construction of the SNF adjacent to residential structures in the Fruit Belt may have a negative impact, depending on the scale and massing of this facility. The SNF Location A would represent a new development in a previously residential block. This development, depending on its final scale, may create a visually intrusive presence on the adjacent residential area. Additionally, the SNF Location A site development will require the removal of six houses, two of which are NRHP - eligible. Miggation The following mitigation measures should be implemented to minimize the potential impacts: • If the SNF is at Alternate Location A, it should be no higher than four stories. • If the SNF is located at Alternate Location B, appropriate screening will be implemented to mitigate the visual impacts of any parking areas along North Street. • Massing of the SNF should be broken up in an effort to mitigate the visual impacts on the adjacent residential areas. • The SNF should have a residential, pedestrian scale feel at street level and new greenspace to improve the aesthetic and environmental quality of the surrounding area. Findings: The Planning Board finds that the mitigation measures proposed will minimize the potential impacts of the Projects on neighborhood character to the maximum extent practicable. f. Socioeconomics Changes made to the physical environment will affect persons living near the proposed Projects. Because the BNMC — North land area is geographically limited and does not have many residents, it was determined that a larger study area should be analyzed. Therefore, the Project Sponsors studied both the BNMC -- North End (Primary Study Area) and the surrounding community (Secondary Study Area). The Primary Study Area is defined as US Census blocks 6002, 7000, 7001, 8005, 8006 and 8007, all within US Census tract 31. This area includes the properties bounded by Main, Maple, East North and High Streets. The Secondary Study Area is defined as all of Census tract 31. Physical impacts of the proposed Projects were found to affect the Primary Study Area, while socioeconomic concerns will impact the Secondary Study Area, Demographics The total population of the Primary Study Area is 17 (Census 2000). There are 3,274 people in the Secondary Study Area, while Erie County has 950,265 residents. The entire population residing within the Primary Study Area is 'Black or African American alone' (Census 2000). In comparison, 90.1% and 13.0% of the total populations of the Secondary Study Area and the County of Erie are 'Black or African American alone', respectively. Households There are six households (all family) located within the Primary Study Area; 1,361 households (762 family, 599 non - family) located within the Secondary Study Area; and 380,873 households (243,359 family, 137,514 non - family) located within the County of Erie (Census 2000). The median household income in the Secondary Study Area and the County of Erie (in 1999 dollars) is $13,864 and $38,567, respectively. Household income data is not available for the Primary Study Area. Poverty Status Within the Secondary Study Area, 1,415 residents had incomes below the poverty level in 1999 (Census 2000). This is approximately 44.7% of the 3,165 persons for whom poverty status is determined. Data on poverty is not available for the Primary Study Area. Housing There are a total of eight housing units in the Primary Study Area; 1,775 housing units in the Secondary Study Area; and 415,868 housing units in the County of Erie (Census 2000). In the Primary Study Area; six or 75.0% of total housing units are either owner or renter- occupied. The remaining two or 25.0% of total housing units are classified as vacant. Environmental Justice Both the Primary and Secondary Study Areas qualify as EJ areas in respect to minority status. Both have a disproportionately high percentage of minority races at 100.0% and 94.0°/x, respectively. In comparison, these figures are significantly higher than the percentage of minority races in the County of Erie (17.8°/x), The Secondary Study Area also qualifies as an EJ area because of its to low- income status, since it has a disproportionately high percentage of individuals below the poverty level as of 1999 (44.7 %). This is over three times as high as the percentage of individuals below the poverty level in the County of Erie (12.2 %). Data on poverty is not available for the Primary Study Area. Employment The Secondary Study Area and the County of Erie have civilian employment bases totaling 822 and 431,174 persons, respectively (Census 2000). The largest industry within both study areas is educational, health and social services. This industry accounts for 40.9% of the total employed civilian population over the age of 16 within the Secondary Study Area and 25.6% in the County of Erie. 1117►J0Cf5 In general, the Projects will not have negative impacts upon the socioeconomic conditions of the area. To the extent any impacts can be considered negative, they are as follows: [ here irjay be a 1.lopul'callon increase willhin the Piirn lry and Secondaty Sludy Areas and, therefore, an increased demand for housing in the neighborhoods immediately surrounding the medical campus; specifically downtown, Allentown and the Fruit Belt. • Alternate Location A for the SNF may require the demolition of the existing residential units within the boundaries of Michigan Avenue, East North, Maple and High Streets. This will result in the displacement of six residences. Mitigation The following mitigation measures should be implemented to minimize the potential impacts: • The Project Sponsors should take reasonable steps to mitigate the adverse impacts upon those residents whose homes may be affected by the proposed Location A for the SNF. These measures may include, but are not limited to, economic compensation and relocation assistance. Findings; The Planning Board finds that the Projects will have a significant positive impact upon the socioeconomic conditions of the area and the proposed mitigation measures will minimize the adverse impacts to the greatest extent practicable. J. Air Quality Kaleida operates a boiler system to provide heat to BGH. Kaleida is permitted for two 76 million Btu per hour (MMBtulhr) boilers and one 39.3 MMBtulhr boiler. The boilers operate under a State Facility Air Permit with emission limits of 190,000 pounds per year for oxides of nitrogen and sulfur dioxide, Impacts The SNF and MOB will use gas for heat. Based on projected building sizes, neither structure would have a Btu need that exceeds the 10 MMBtulhr threshold for a State Facility Air Permit. Additionally, the output from using natural gas would have a minimal effect on air quality due to the dense urban development in the area. Based on the maximum 600,000 sq. ft. build out, the additional heating requirement for the GVI is approximately 38 MMBtulhr. This additional demand will not require the installation of a new boiler. As with the current steam plant, the new heat demand will be met with natural gas. If SNF Alternate Location B is selected, this location will also use the existing steam plant. This addition to the steam plant will still be based on natural gas fuel, which is also the fuel source for the standalone heating unit required for SNF Alternate Location A. Therefore there is no net change to the potential air impacts from Alternate Location A to Alternate Location B. Impacts The potential air impacts associated with the Projects are as follows: The most significant emission from the natural gas fuel will be oxides of nitrogen. The addition of 38 MMBtulhr would result in an additional 9% of the total allowable pounds per year. Mitigation The following mitigation measures should be implemented to minimize the potential impacts: • Emissions from the steam plant servicing the GVI and SNF (if at Alternate Location B) should remain below state air quality limits. • The GVI, SNF and MOB should be designed using the best practicable heating and insulation technology to conserve energy. Findings The Planning Board finds that the Projects will not have a significant adverse impact upon air quality in the area. To the extent there are potential adverse impacts upon air quality, those impacts can be mitigated to the greatest extent practicable through the implementation of the proposed mitigation measures. K. Solid /Medical /Hazardous Wastes At the present time, businesses within the BNMC — North End generate solid waste, hazardous waste and medical waste, most of which is generated by BGH. Solid Wastes BGH and the other facilities generate solid waste as part of the cafeteria operations, product packaging, administrative activities and from materials associated with general patient care. The volume of solid waste generated by BGH on an average monthly basis is 130 tons (Modern Landfill). Construction of the Projects within the BNMC — North End will generate a solid waste stream during actual construction of the individual building projects. Demolition debris will be generated from the decommissioning of existing facilities for construction of the new facilities, particularly in the case of the GVI. Medical Wastes Medical waste is generated by BGH and the CMHC as a result of surgical procedures and general patient care. BGH is a large quantity generator of medical waste (greater than 200 pounds per month), with disposal managed by Stericycle. New operations at the GVI and MOB will generate medical waste and will be integrated into the established and regulated waste disposal programs. Hazardous Wastes The BGH is also a small quantity hazardous waste generator. Hazardous waste is generated as a result of routine operational and maintenance activities, unused medicine, testing procedures and as a result of general patient care. As a small quantity generator, BGH generates between 100 and 1,000 kilograms of hazardous waste on a monthly basis. The GVI, University at Buffalo's research institute and SNF will likely be considered RCRA small quantity generators of hazardous waste (100 to 1,000 kilograms per month) as part of ongoing medical operations. Impacts The Projects may have the following impacts associated with solid, medical and hazardous wastes: • Solid Construction & Demolition ( "C &D ") waste will be generated during construction. • An increase in solid, medical and hazardous waste streams in varying quantities will be generated by the Projects. Their generation will be unavoidable for the operation of the facilities. • Solid waste will be generated from wood forms for concrete construction purposes; from packaging associated with various materials; from parts and equipment used for construction; and from packaging for equipment that will be installed for operation of the constructed facilities. Mitigation The following mitigation measures should be implemented to minimize the potential impacts: • All construction and operation waste should be disposed of in accordance with New York State Department of Health and New York State Department of Environmental Conservation regulations, • Where new facilities, such as those that may locate in the MOB or the university at °J Buffalo's research institute, operate independently of the GVI program, the facilities or their tenants, must implement develop their own disposal programs and comply with the existing state and federal disposal regulations. • Where feasible, large demolition debris such as brick, concrete and stone work should be segregated for potential re- use /recycling as crushed till material. Findings The Planning Board finds that the Projects will not result in a significant increase in solid, medical or hazardous waste streams in the area. However, the Projects Sponsors and future occupants of the facilities will be required to comply with all applicable Federal, State and Local standards for the disposal of wastes. Providing these mitigation measures are followed, the potential impacts can be mitigated to the greatest extent practicable. L. Hazardous and Contaminated Sites The BNMC - North End has been an urban setting for over 150 years. Historical uses identified within the BNMC - North End include hospitals with petroleum storage, auto repair shops and filling stations. Under the oversight of the NYSDEC, historic petroleum contamination to the west of Buffalo General Hospital (the location of the proposed MOB) along High Street has undergone extensive soil and groundwater remediation for approximately 10 years. The remediation system was recently shut down. In addition, a subsurface investigation is presently being conducted at 991 Main Street (the adjacent property and possible MMTS location) to evaluate potential petroleum impacts to soil and groundwater from its past use as a filling station. There are also recognized environmental conditions from a recently completed Phase I Environmental Site Assessment at 1021 - 1027 Michigan Avenue and 1033 Michigan Avenue, near Alternate Location A for the proposed SNF. The recognized environmental conditions include: the potential presence of asbestos in buildings, lead paint, PCBs in light ballasts and window caulk and abandoned underground storage tanks. There is also potential to encounter pockets of contaminated fill, contaminated soils and/or contaminated groundwater as well as abandoned underground storage tanks during construction. The CMHC and other structures slated for demolition may contain asbestos containing materials, lead based paint and PCBs in light ballasts and window caulk. Construction of these Projects should have a positive impact with respect to delineation, characterization and remediation of historic environmental impacts that are encountered within the BNMC - North End. Demolition of existing buildings completed in accordance with existing NYSDEC, NYSDOH, New York State Department of Labor and City regulations should have a positive impact on site conditions with respect to the presence of asbestos, lead paint and PCBs. Impacts The Projects will not create any additional hazardous or contaminated sites, so no significant adverse impacts are anticipated. However, the potential impacts to Hazardous and Contaminated Sites may include: • Existing petroleum- contaminated soils may be encountered during construction at the proposed location for the MOB and Alternate Location A for the SNF. • Demolishing existing structures has the potential to release lead paint, asbestos or PCB's if not properly contained and mitigated. rv,itiga60i7 The following mitigation measures should be implemented to minimize the potential impacts: If any previously unidentified contamination is encountered during development, the Project sponsors should notify Region 9 of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation to coordinate appropriate clean up. • If contaminated soil and/or groundwater, waste, abandoned underground storage tanks and bedding, asbestos containing materials, lead paint based materials and materials containing PCBs are encountered during demolition and construction, the appropriate work plans or mitigation plans will be submitted to manage these materials in accordance with applicable NYSDEC, NYSDOH and local regulations. Findings The Planning Board finds that the proposed mitigation measures will minimize the potential adverse impacts to existing hazardous and contaminated sites to the maximum extent practicable. M. Public Services Schools Three Buffalo Public School District educational facilities are located within the vicinity of the BNMC. These include: Futures Academy located at 295 Carlton Street (elementary), Martin Luther King Multicultural Institute located at 487 High Street (elementary) and City Honors School located at 186 E North Street (grades 5 -12). City Honors, a test -based magnet school, is currently undergoing reconstruction work that began in 2008 and is scheduled to be completed by September 2010. The Project developments are not anticipated to create additional strain on the public school system. In the event any additional demand is created, there is sufficient capacity in the school system to accommodate this demand. Emergency Services Emergency services include fire and police protection, as well as emergency medical services. The BNMC is serviced by the Buffalo l=ire Department and the Buffalo Police Department. There is no fire or police station located within the BNMC. The BNMC is serviced by Engine 21 of the Buffalo Fire Department, located at 1229 Jefferson Avenue. The area is split between B and C District of the Buffalo Police Department. The B- District station is located at 695 Main Street, while the C- District station is located at 696 East Ferry Street. Emergency medical services within the area are provided by Buffalo General Hospital located at 100 High Street. Buffalo General Hospital is a 511 -bed acute care hospital in the center of the BNMC. A portion of Goodrich Street will be permanently closed to traffic for the construction and operation of the GVI. This will result in an impact to local traffic patterns, but is considered minor, since Goodrich Street is neither a high - traffic road, nor a primary traffic route. In the long term, a beneficial impact is expected since the proposed Projects will improve emergency medical services for the residents in the immediate area and Western New York through increased and more efficient services. The GVI, to be attached to BGH, will include a state of the art Emergency Department that will replace the existing Emergency Department at BGH. The new Emergency Department combined with the attached GVI will greatly improve emergency medical services to the study area, especially in neuro and vascular care. Impacts There will be no additional demands placed on police, fire or school services from the construction or operation of the Projects. The GVI will likely have a beneficial impact on the emergency medical services for the immediate area and Western New York. MNgation No mitigation is necessary. Findings The Projects will not have a significant adverse impact upon public services. N. Construction The BNMC — North End is bound by High, Main, Fast North and Maple Streets. The four Projects are planned for areas that have been previously developed. The preferred SNF is planned for a block that contains residential structures, a parking lot and an abandoned gas station. The MOB is planned for a surface parking lot which is across Ellicott Street from BGH. The GVI is planned for the current location of the CMHC and Goodrich Street connecting to BGH. There are six locations under consideration for the MMTS. Construction Phasing The proposed Projects call for the build out of four individual sites over an approximately three year period. A high level of construction planning and coordination for the Projects will be required. Upon receipt of the required permits and approvals for the proposed Projects, the following construction projects are expected to proceed concurrently, • Global Vascular Institute — —500,000 to 600,000 sq. ft. Acute Care and Medical Research Facility; • Skilled Nursing Facility — —225,000 sq, ft. Long Term Care Facility; • Medical Office Building — — 300,000 sq, ft. Out - Patient / Office Complex; and • Multi -Modal Transportation Structure — 1,600 space multi -modal parking structure. In addition to the above Projects and their related infrastructure /utility work, there will be site preparation and demolition of existing structures to facilitate development of the proposed Projects. There will also be construction activity (relocation of existing infrastructure) related to the closure of Goodrich between Ellicott Street and Michigan Avenue. This work will also be coordinated with the overall Projects' schedules to ensure proper access and safety measures during construction. Construction Vehicle Access The amount of construction activity located in the BNMC - North End will create a large volume of construction - related traffic. This traffic will be comprised of construction workers traveling to the sites each day for work and delivery of materials and construction equipment (which will be mobilized on an as- needed basis). Dust Control Dust from demolition and excavation may migrate offsite into residential areas. However, this impact is expected to be minimal as best management practices (such as wetting demolition or dry soil areas and using standard erosion control methods) will be utilized during construction. Sediment and Erosion Control Sediment and erosion can pose a significant impact during construction. This is often more of a concern in rural or "greenfield" areas. However, as required by NYSDEC regulation, construction will employ erosion control methods that will greatly minimize the impacts. Excavation and Foundation Fill Excavation and foundation fill will have minimal impact to the surrounding area. If excavated material is found to be suitable for future use on site, it will be stored and stockpiled for reuse. If the material is not satisfactory for backfill or any type of reuse, it will be hauled off to a licensed disposal facility. V1 _ impacrs The potential construction impacts associated with the Projects may include: • The construction labor influx into the BNMC may be a considerable impact to parking and traffic conditions in the BNMC. • Construction equipment due to its size, may create traffic delays or impede traffic flow. If not managed correctly, equipment and construction traffic may traverse local residential streets outside of the BNMC - North End. • Dust from demolition or excavation could migrate into residential areas. • Construction may temporarily increase noise above ambient levels. Mifi_ aq tion The following mitigation measures should be implemented to minimize the potential impacts: • To mitigate the potentially negative impacts from construction, a construction vehicle access plan should be created. This plan will also include information on the construction staging areas and any parking displacement during construction. • A street - specific traffic plan will be developed and provided to the construction and delivery companies which will illustrate the allowable means of access to the respected sites. All traffic will be directed to stay on the BNMC and not use roads in the adjacent residential neighborhoods for access. • With the high volume of construction workers expected to be active on the BNMC — North End, a shuttle system which will utilize off site parking will be required. • All construction workers will be directed to use designated routes of travel to access the sites and will be allowed to park in specifically identified parking areas for construction laborers. • All required elements of sediment and erosion control must be in place and inspected by a Project Manager and appropriate regulatory agency prior to further activity on site (clearing or excavation). Sediment and erosion control plan will be prepared in accordance with New York State Stormwater Management Design Manual and Phase 11 Stormwater SPDES requirements. • No parking of construction vehicles should be allowed on residential streets. • Best management practices should be used to mitigate noise and dust during construction. • In addition to coordination with Public Agencies and Utilities, all related City and Public Agencies will be continually informed and updated on the construction schedule and any activity which is planned to occur on a public street. Findings The Planning Board finds that the utilizing the proposed mitigation measures should mitigate the impacts from the BNMC-North End Projects during construction. Therefore, the Planning Board finds that the mitigation measures proposed will minimize the potential impacts of the Projects during construction to the maximum extent practicable. GONC LUSiON After evaluating the cumulative environmental, economic, and social impacts of the proposed Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus North -End Development, the City of Buffalo Planning Board is adopting the feasible, prudent, and practicable alternatives which best balances environmental impacts with social, economic, and other essential considerations, and that allows for mitigation of all environmental impacts to the greatest extent reasonable and practicable. Certification of Findings to Approve: Having considered the Draft and Final Generic Environmental Impact Statements, and having considered the preceding written facts and conclusions relied on to meet the requirements of 6 NYCRR Part 617.11, this Statement of Findings certifies that: 1. The City of Buffalo Planning Board has considered the relevant environmental impacts, facts, and conclusions disclosed in the DGEIS and the FGEIS and their supporting materials; 2. The Planning Board has weighed and balanced the relevant environmental impacts with social, economic, and other considerations; 3.

This month's tip sheet showcases the City of Toronto's Lower Don Lands Design. Last year Waterfront Toronto received the 2008 Royal Architectural Institute of Canada's (RAIL) Sustainable Development Award for the design of the Lower Don Lands. Waterfront Toronto is comprised of representatives from the Government of Canada, the Province of Ontario and the City of Toronto and was formed to oversee and lead the renewal of Toronto's waterfront. Waterfront Toronto's philosophy is driven by an integrated approach to transforming the central waterfront land and goes beyond getting the highest value for each individual parcel. Public accessibility, design excellence, sustainable development, economic development and fiscal sustainability are the key drivers of the revitalization effort. The sustainable Development award recognizes the role urban design and architectural excellence play in maintaining and enhancing the quality of life in Canadian cities. In their final analysis the National Urban Design jury members felt that the Lower Don Lands design crafted an ecologically -based and environmentally sensitive approach that will provide a long -term evolutive strategy for sustainable development. The Lower Don Lands project is just one part of Waterfront Toronto's 8000 - hectare project to transform the City of Toronto's central waterfront. The design for the Lower Don Lands promises to turn unused land in Toronto's central waterfront into a sustainable "green" city, a new destination where city, lake and river interact in a dynamic and balanced relationship. If you have any questions regarding the tip sheet please contact Joe Gardella (Interim Chair, BEMC) at gardella buffalo.edu or Dennis Sutton (BEMC support staff) at dsuttort cit - buffalo.com. We look forward to any input on the monthly tip sheet. BEMC members are willing to attend any meetings to promote implementation of these programs in the City of Buffalo. BEMC meets monthly, on the third Wednesday, 8:00 AM, 920 City Hall. The web site address for the BEMC is: http: /Iwww.ci.buffalo.ny -us/ Home /CityServices/ Environmen Mana REFE T O THE COMMITTEE ( )N COCO MM UNITY DEV Room 920, Buffalo City Half, 14202 / 0002:) INTRODUCTION New York State Department cif' Environmental Conservation (DEC) and the Buffalo urban Development: Corporation (BUDC) invite you to attend a public meeting regarding proposed cleanup activities at the BUt1alo Lakeside Commerce Park - Parcel 4 Site in Buffalo, Eric County. At the meeting, representatives From DEC, BUDC, and New York State Department of Health (DOII) will present a proposed cleanup plan for the site and be available to answer questions fr011) die public. I'he proposed cleanup plan, called the "Proposed Remedial Action flan" (PRAP) is also available for your review at the locations listed at the end of this fact sheet, and on the D1C wehsite (see below). Public comments on the PRAP will be accepted between January 29 and Marcia 15, 2009 and may be submitted to the D1 7 C project manager listed on page 3 ofthis fact sheet. Cleanup work will be performed under the Environmental Restoration Program ('FRP) established by New York State's 1996 Clears Water /Clean Air Bond Act. "Through the I RP,. DEC provides financial assistance to local governments for the cleanup and restoration of brownfields sites. A brownfietd is currently unused, abandoned, or idle property that may have been used for industrial purposes in the past but no longer contributes to the tax base of a Municipality. This Tact sheet is being provided to explain why a cleanup plan for the Parcel 4 Site is being proposed, what the proposed cleanup activities will involve, and bow to obtain n301 information. SITE .BACKGROUND Parcel 4 is a 20 -acre property located at 1714 Fuhrman Blvd., north of the former Union Ship Canal near Route 5 at the southern part of the City Of BLIffalo. See site map. The property was owned by Hanna Furnace, all industrial facility that processed iron ore into iron from 1903 to 1983, when the facility closed. 'f'he last of Hanna Furnace's blast furnaces and buildings were demolished in 2003; all that remains is the Union Ship Canal. Separate cleanup and redevelopment efforts similar to those described in this fact sheet have occurred ,end are occurring at parcels 1, 2, and 3 shown on the site map. 'Fo determine the type and location of contamination at the site. BUDC conducted a site investigation between .1a11uary 2006 and :January 1 Public Meeting; Announcement Site ilo. l€!;y1 .IV.s 2007. The findings of that investigation and an evaluation of potential cleanup alternatives are described in the October ti : y t J h 2008 Site lnvestigationlRemedial Alternatives report, avaiiabie at the locations listed at the ecru o t�.., f ac t act sheet , and I e DEC website. The investigation revealed that the entire site is covered with a layer of till material 10 to 25 feet thick. The fill is composed of disturbed, natural materials including clay, sand, silt, boulders, dredged lake sediments and shale rock, as well as the raw materials and byproducts of iron and steel production such as ash, slag, iron ore, limestone and construction /demolition debris (e.g. wood, bricks and concrete). The site is generally flat, but there are two areas of pronounced fill material in raised fill mounds. The Debris Disposal pile, located near the center of the site, is composed of native materials including sand, gravel, cobbles and boulders and fill materials including black sand, ash,'slag, brick concrete, wire rope (cable), tires, crushed stone, metal debris and vafious other construction and demolition debris. The Filter Cake /Flue Ash pile at the western end of the Site is composed entirely of black fine - grained ash, collected from the exhaust of the iron blast furnaces. The 45,000 to 55,000 cubic yards of ash in and around the Filter Cake/Flue Ash pile are contaminated with lead. Some samples of the ash exhibited the characteristics of a hazardous waste due to the high concentration and mobility of the contamination. The fill material which covers the entire site is contaminated with other metals and semi - volatile organic compounds (SVOCs). SVOCs are chemicals commonly produced during the combustion process of fossil fuels which do not readily evaporate. A buried pocket of cyanide - contaminated, blue - colored fill, was found at the southern edge of the site. The S1 indicated that groundwater at the site is contaminated with metals, but they are not likely to significantly impact the surface water of the Union Ship Canal. �. *.� ...i..i... `'� + i i + + ► + + i + + i 4 i'� ILT ER CAKE/ A ILE MUM l s� DEBRIS DISPOSAL PILE BLUE FILL MATERIAL DO DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED CLEANUP ACTIVITIES To address the contamination present at the site, the DEC has prepared a cleanup plan cal led a Proposed Remedial Action Plan (PRAP). The proposed cleanup activities include: • Sampling and analyzing the Filter Cake /Flue Ash pile and segregating that portion of the material which exhibits hazardous waste characteristics from the material which does not. The hazardous waste portion would be chemically stabilized on site before being disposed off site in a permitted landfill. As part of the remedial design, a determination would be made as to whether or not it would be feasible to further sort the falter cake /flue ash pile by lead contaminant concentrations. If so, a site - specific cleanup objective for just the flue ash /filter cake would be proposed which would be more cost effective but still protective of the public health and environment for the intended use of"thc site. • Excavating and testing the estimated 100 cubic yards of cyanide - contaminated, blue - colored fill and properly disposing it at an ofd site permitted landfill. • Excavating the Debris Disposal pile and separating the debris from the soil/fill for disposal at a permitted solid waste facility. The soil /fill within the pile would be sampled and analyzed in accordance with a soil management plan. Soil/fill with contaminant concentrations below soil cleanup objectives for commercial site use would be staged on site and used as sub -grade backfill for site redevelopment. Soil/fill with contaminant concentrations in excess of the cleanup objectives would be disposed off site at a permitted landfill. • Removing all other surface- debris and reconstructing the site to the required elevations for redevelopment. • PiacinL� a demarcation layer of synthetic fabric between the existing fill and the clean soil cover material. The clean soil cover will be a minirnurn oftwelvc inches thick. In the areas of the site that will be covered by buildings or become roads, sidewalks or parking; lots, the cover system will consist of a minimum of eight inches of pavement. • hnposing an environmental easement on the property to restrict future use to core -imercial purposes. • Developing a. site management plan to address residual contamination, use restrictions, and maintenance of the soil cover. PUBLIC MEETING A. public meeting will be held on February 17, 2009 at 7 PM at the Valley Conurfunity Center to discuss the proposed Cleanup plan for the Parcel 4 Site.

Countless times Sunday visitors would have to stop whatever we were doing to dash out and move their cars. It was accepted that was part of living in Buffalo. I look forward to changing alternate parking days to Mondays. That Is good, Changing the hour to six p.m. Is not good. 1 ask you to consider the thousands of seniors, frail and handicapped that would have go out in dark winter days to move their cars. They would have to deal with unshoveled snow and icy patches that could cause harm. Working people would have to move their cars shortly after arriving home and possibly Interrupt dinner to do this= My strong recommendation would be to retain the four o'clock time. Working people coming home after four would be able to stay In their homes and seniors would be much more comfortable moving their cars in the daytime. This is a wonderful opportunity for Buffalo to be citizen friendly. Hopefully bureaucracy will not stand in the way.

KZUG RUSSELL C. HAVER Buffalo Urban Renewal Agency Room 920 ity Hall Buffalo, [NY 1 202 ATL`N: Mayor Byl•o» W. Brown, Cli airma n Inc: Development of the liar Riviere Drive parcel We are Writing to address the controversy surrounding the Request for Proposal ( "RN ") competing proposals Submitted, development guidelines, and designation or a redeveloper by the Buffalo Urban Renewal Agency ("BURA") gor parcels I and 1 A located at La .Riviere Drive in the Waterfront Village area. As you are well aware, BUIZA has been severely criticized for its handling; of this site by the general public, the business community and experts in architecture and urban planning. According to BURA Board I.te1n LOCI No 5a, dated .December 1, 2008, two proposals were submitted and considered by the City's Office of Strategic .Planning ( "OSP ") and BURA For this site- one by Cimine;lli Development Corporation ( "Ciniine.11i ") and the other by Specialty Restaurants Corporation ( "SIZ( ... ). "The two projects represented l different approaches in regards to the development parcel usage," and "Ithej considerations given by the staff review included existing restrictions on the subject parcel and the surrounding; BUIZA `DPGM /DADA' parcels, future plans for a pote.ntiai inner Ilar'bor bridge, the potential straightening of 1?a-ie Street and the ability to for (sicj BUIZA in the future to execute additional development parcels if parking; accommodations could be made nearby." At BUltA's Decen7ber 4, 2008 Board mceting;, Corporation Council Lukasiewicz n - lade a Motion to Approve the Clcsigrlartion of SRC as the redeveloper of the site. Prior to this motion being rn.ade however, Council President Pranczyk stated that he was never presented with the item and would need more tulle to review it. Council President Pro Ternpore Kearns also communicated that [WRA's Board had riot been given enough time to evaluate the competing proposals and 1rlade a Motion to "Table the item to allow time for additional review. The Motion to ".fable was defeated 5-3, with Council Members Kearns, 1�ranczyk. and LoCurto voting in favor, while Commissioner Reilly, Co.rnmissioncr Penska, Ms. Lukasiewicz, Andrew Fszak and you voting in the neg -M&e. Ms. I,uhasie wic;z, promptly rnade her Approval Motion, which passed 5 - Council Members Il,.earns, Franczyk and LoC urto voted in they negative, while Ms. L.ukasiewiez, ` "For the People' W' � Commissioner Reilly, Commissioner Penska, Andrew Eszak and you voted to designate SIZC redeveloper for the La Riviere parcels. Several stakeholders in the development of the La Riviere site, who are not voting members of BURA, also raised serious concerns in regard to the SRC proposal at the December 4"' meeting: Frank Lysiak of the Waterfront Village Advisory Council noted that the Ciminclli project had been removed from consideration even though it had scored significantly higher than SRC's proposal; Shelly Dellebovi of the Waterfront Village Advisory Council stated that her Committee had issues with the parking and waterfront access; and, J. George Harr, Jr., President of Gull Landing Association, reported that the Association favored the Ciminelli proposal and opposed the SRC project for a variety of reasons, noting that approximately $2 million less in real estate taxes would be collected under the SRC proposal. Public frustration over the selection of the inferior of the two competing projects presented to BURA did not end at the December 4"' BURA meeting. J. George Harr, Jr. renewed the Gull Landing Association's objection to selection of the SRC proposal, in writing, and numerous others, including Paul L. Herendeen, President of the Buffalo /WNY Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, have written to their elected officials and contacted local media outlets to voice their outrage. In a letter dated December 31, 2008, Mr. Herendeen, one of Western New York's premier architects, referred to BURA's decision to approve the SRC proposal as "completely inappropriate, counterproductive and set[ling] a poor standard for the development of our cities' [sic] urban waterfront." Mr. Herendeen went on to suggest that it "flies in the face of any reasonable design and planning processes" and "will negatively affect the fixture of our waterfront for decades to come." While it is common for development projects to meet some resistance, the number of complaints concerning BURA's designation of SRC as redeveloper for the La Riviere parcel are exceptional. Experts, neighboring residents and ordinary citizens continue to speak out against this decision, further fueling the perception that this project was planned in a vacuum and that a more holistic approach is needed. Further, many important questions remain unanswered in regards to this project including: Whether BURA seriously considered the impact of SRC's proposal on the property values and quality of Iife of residents of Waterfront Village and other nearby residential developments; Why BURA has not worked in concert with the Erie County harbor Development Corp. ( "ECIHDC ") and other agencies currently overseeing planning and implementation of projects in the area to develop a comprehensive and coherent vision for development of the La Riviere and adjoining parcels, when such projects will impact our community for generations; Why BURA did not design the RFP for the La Riviere site in a way which would evaluate all proposals on their adherence to the "Queen City Hub: A Regional Action Plan for Downtown Buffalo," "Queen City in the 21st Century: Buffalo's Comprehensive Plan," "Queen City Waterfront: Buffalo Waterfront Corridor Initiative," "Local Waterfront Revitalization Program" and other existing planning documents, as well as their application of smart growth principals, especially with the City looking to implement a Smart Code j I These questions must be answered before atay project can realistically move forward. t The Common Coulic ', the Office of' Strategic Planning and your tMayoral administration have all allirrried their desire to see a Smart Code irriplernerltcr_l fir flee City. A - Smart Code," atriorl`r oth.cr things, N ill erriphasize traditional street grids, enhance interc,onnectivity of neighborhoods and discourage surface barking lots. The proposal of BUR_A's designated redeveloper, SRC, however, is characterized by exactly the type of suburban -style architecture and emphasis ors surface parking that Smart Codes are meant to discourage. In order to create the type of development the Public wants and our City deserves, a Master Plan is needed for the La Riviere site as it relates to our entire waterfront. No proposal Should have been selected before extensive community input and the completion of studies on the straightening of kric Street to restore the historic; connection between the Waterfront and downtown, returning a traditional urban street orid to the area, and the buildin- of a bricl <oe to the Outer Harbor. Furthcrmore;, in addition to parcels 1 and lA at La Riviere Drive;, the development potential of the adjacent parcels that are currently encumbered pursuant to Lin agreement with the Pyramid Group, should be fully explored. These parcels are currently being operated as parking lots, far from their highest and best use, arid. their proximity and potential 161 expanding the size and marketability of the La Rivierc developin.ent area should be carefully coris.idered. At the December 4, 2008 BIJRA meeting, you stated that the Cirninelli project did not conforrn to the tZ.1'P due to its lack of compliance with height, square footage and parking restrictions. We counter, and many experts agree, that we should not be basing development decisions for our City's waterfront of' tomorrow on outdated and counterproductive guidelines established in the t 960's and 1970s- The C:ornrmon Council has a responsibility to make choices and render approvals that are in the best interests of the City and its taxpayers. Unfortunately, the SRC proposal which was approved by BURR, does not meet this criterion. We, the undersigned, find the RFP, selection process and manner in which a developer was designated fhr the La Riviere Drive fatally flawed - We thercl:orc will not be approving the SRC proposal should it come before the Common Council, or any other proposal, until these deficiencies are addressed. To this end we respectfully request that .BURR: a Rescind its designation of SRC as redeveloper of parcels 1. and I A at La Riviere Drive 0 Review the "Queen City I - tub: A Regional Action Plan for D vvntown Buffalo," "Queen City in the 21st Century: Buffalo's Coniprehens.ive Plan," "Queen City Waterfront: Buffalo Waterfront Corridor Initiative," `=Local Waterfront Revitalisation Program" and other existing planning documents I - or the City to determine if a new UP needs to bo drafted for creation of a Master Plan for the entire area, including the straightening of' Brie Strc,et ® Re- examine and update its rules and waterfront development guidelines to reflect the smart growth principles that underlie the type of' Smart Code the City is looldnt; to implement O00t�2 Th e Buffalo Common Council , MICHAEL P.

KRUG RU55[LL C. WEAVER I am writing you to provide an update on the status of the South District Roof Replacement Program. As I informed you in my last letter dated May 9th, requisite City of Buffalo approvals for this program have taken much longer than expected. Disbursement of these funds was initially delayed in part due to a request made by the City Comptroller's Office for a legal opinion from the City of Buffalo Corporation Counsel on the program. In relevant pall, this opinion by the Comptroller stated that: "The Roof Replacement program is specifically designed to promote residential neighborhood stabilization while at the same time incentivizing actual homeowner private investment in upgrading the City's aging housing stock.. Equally important is the fact that the replaced roofs will be safer for Buffalo Firefighters in the performance of their duties in the event that their fire fighting services are called upon at homes where roofs have been replaced." Despite the existence of this legal opinion, the Office of Strategic Planning, who is responsible for the administration of this program, is now seeking another opinion frorn the City's Corporation Counsel as to whether City of Buffalo employees can be reimbursed through the program. Those within the Office that have been charged with overseeing the program have been largely unresponsive to any calls and inquiries into the continued delay in distributing funds to program participants, most notably the enclosed letter to Commissioner Brian Reilly, dated November 12th, 2008. For the aforementioned reasons, I am now advising all participants in the program who remain unpaid to file claim against the City for amounts owed. For your convenience, I have enclosed a copy of the form which must be used to file your claim along with instructions for completing the claifn form. 1 would like to thank you for the patience that you have shown during this lengthy process, and promise you that I will do everything in my power to ensure the City of Buffalo fully reimburses program participants for amounts owed.

Sincerely, eA REFEMRI Michael P. Kearns South District Council Member "'For e People" iL . May 9, 2008 Dear South Buffalo Resident: Since taking office oil January 1, 2006, 1 have worked hard to bring programs to South Buffalo's neighborhoods that will stabilize and strengthen our community. At this time, I would like to commend you for the significant personal investment that you have made in your home and neighborhood. I first announced in a letter dated April 28, 2008, that funding; had been identified and secured for the South COLUICil District Roof Replacement Program. Untortunately, as a result of circumstances beyond my control, requisite City of Buffalo approvals for this program have taken much longer than expected. DiSbrn'Sernent of these funds has been delayed in part clue to a request made by the City Comptroller's Office for a legal opinion from the City of Buffalo Corporatiozr Counsel on the program. l have recently been forwarded a copy of this opinion, and have enclosed a copy for your review. In relevant part, this opinion states that: "The Roof Replacement program is specifically designed to promote residential neighborhood stabilization while at the sarue time incentivizing actual homeowner private investment in upgrading the City's aging housing stook. Egnally important is the fact that the replaced roofs will be safer for Buffalo Firefighters in the performance of their duties in the event that their fire fighting services are called upon at homes where roofs have been replaced." No one in the South Buffalo community will ever forget the horrible tragedy that befell Donnic Herbert and other Buffalo Firefighters while answering a call some years ago. Experts have stated that a roof which contained too many layers directly co►rtributed to their injuries. My own father, Paul Kearns, was a City of Buffalo Firefighter for over 30 years and I am proud to have been able to sponsor this program which strengthens the value of South Buffalo's housing stock while at the same time contributing; to the Safety ofour firefighters. I would like to thank you for the patience that you have shown during this lengthy process, and assure you that I will continue to fight for this important program as well as others that are important to the residents of South Buffalo. Please feel free to contact my office at 851 -5169 if you have any questions or concern, in regard to the status ofthis program. Sill erely,. hael P. Kearns South District Council Member S November 12, 2008 Brian Reilly, Commissioner Dept. of Economic Development, Permits & Inspections Services 920 City Hall Buffalo, NY 14202 Mr. Reilly: As an Economic Development professional, I trust that You understand how difficult it is to bring programs into our neighborhoods that will be effective in stabilizing and strengthening our community. Nearly three years ago, with the help of the Department of I?conomic Development, Permits & Inspections Services { "I:DPI "), we were able to offer such a program to homeowncr's in the South C "orrnCll District. This program, the South Council District Roof' Replacement Program, has been successful in leveraging thousands of dollars of private investment into South Buffalo's housing stock. This program was developed in coordination with the Departments of Law arrd B'DPI, and receive([ lengthy review from both before being offered to homeowners. Unfortunately however, requisite City of Buffalo approvals for the disbursement of finds associated with this program have been, and continued to he, delayed. As a result, City homeowners who made significant personal investments in their homes and neighborhoods have been waiting nearly three years for the City to fulfill its obligations as relate to the program. Disbursement of these fends was delayed in part due to a request made by the City Comptroller's Office for a legal opinion from the City of Buffalo Corporation Counsel regarding the program. This opinion was released more than six months ago and stated that: "The Roof Replacement program is specifically designed to promote residential neighborhood stabilization while at the same time inecntivizing actual homeowner private investment in upgrading the City's aging housing stock. Equally important is the fact that the replaced roofs will be safer for Buffalo firefighters in the performance of their duties in the event that their fire fighting services are called upon at homes where roofs have been replaced." Although the Corporation Counsel has opined that this program is legal, nearly hal f' of the program's participants are still awaiting payment. For reasons that remain unknown to rue, those that have not yet received payment can be divided entirely into two groups, those that are City employees and those that are residents of the hickory Woods area, Ili addition, I am being told that tyre Buffalo Urban Renewal Agency ( "BURA "), on which you serve on the Board of Directors, now intends to keep substantial funds that were intended to be used for the reimbursement of homeowners who partieipated in the South Council District Roof Replacement Program as a "bold back" :for the work associated with administration of the program. No mention of any such hold back is contained ill the contract under which responsibility for administration of this program was transferred to the Cily's Office of Strategic Planning, who in turn transferred it to BURA, and I feel it entirely inappropriate that an Agency that was created to promote economic development in the City, is now seQking to charge the City for administration of an economic development program directly related to its mission. It is nay understanding that the Corporation Counsel satisfactorily addressed all theretolbre unresolved legal issues associated with the program nearly six months ago, yet this program continues to be delayed. Both the homeowners that participated in this program and I have shown a great deal of patience during this lengthy Process. For the aforementioned reasons, in advance of the Common Council's meeting scheduled for November 25, 2008, i am requesting that you file written explanations as tdthe legal grounds on which your Department is pre €nising: 1. The continued refusal to reimburse those who participated in the South Council District Roof Replacement Program with funds they are legally entitled to under the program. Specifically, this explanation should pertain to the following groups of participants: a. City of Buffalo employees h. Residents of Hickory Woods 2. The claim to a "hold back" for fees associated with BUItA's administration of the South Council District Roof Replacement Program Please feel tree to contact my office at 851 -5169 if you have any questions in regard to this request.

Our lease at 1020 Humboldt Parkway was renewed in November of 2007 for a five year period, but was retroactively effective as of the last expiration date which was April 30, 2005. Based on this, our current lease expires on April 30, 2010. We are currently in the silent phase of a capital campaign and we would be able to obtain more support from donors and foundations with a longer term on our lease. We are requesting that the City consider a 5 year renewal term from the date of this request. This would allow us to better engage our donors, complete our capital campaign and begin or possibly complete our exterior renovations during this new lease term. If I am interpreting the document properly, our lease at Tifft Nature „ Preserve, 1200 Fuhrmann Boulevard, will expire on July 6, 2008. We have previously informed you of our wish to exercise the 10 year renewal option allowed under the current lease.

Expansion of the Buffalo Light Rail System Whereas: In the 1970's, the City of' Buffalo and the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority planned and created a light -rail system as a form of public transportation for the citizens of Western New York; and, Whereas: The system was planned to have a Buffalo line, along with extensions to the Buffalo Airport, Niagara Falls, Tonawanda and the University at Buffalo North Campus in Amherst, NY; and, Whereas: In the inid- 1980's, when the system. was considered completed, only the six mile Buffalo line had been built and, Whereas: The University at Buffalo, with their UB 2020 Plan, has called for an extension o(' the light -rad to the Ufa North Campus in Amherst. This plan calls for a Downtown, South and North Campus with the light -rail connecting all of them; and, Whereas: In an effort to revive the United States economy, President Barack Mama has called for a federal stimulus package. The President has called for some of this stimulus money to be used towards building and improving public transportation; and, Whereas: The board of the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority, is an entity that can apply for stimulus funding for public transportation projects in the Western New York area; Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved: That the Common Council of the City of Buffialo calls upon the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority to submit a request to the United States government, for federal stimulus funding, to complete the extension ol` the light -rail to the Buffalo Niagara International Airport, Niagara balls, "Tonawanda and University at Buffalo North Campus; and, Be It Further Resolved: That the City Clerk forward certified copies of' this resolution to United States Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, Congressman Brian Higgins, Governor David A. Paterson and all members of the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority. A ADOPTED J scp Golombek, Jr. 000'7` By: Mr. Ciolombek, /� ) Subject: Removal of 190 from Waterfront Whereas: In the late 1950s Interstate 190 was completed along the Niagara River, effectively cutting off 131a.ck Rock from the Black Rock Channel and Riverside from the Niagara River; and Whereas: Without question this unfortunate action has hastened a decline in property values as middle class families desiring to live in a neighborhood with waterfront access must move north or south of the City of Buffalo; and Whereas: n comparison of'the area in and around Isle View Park in the "Town of Tonawanda to the area in and around Rivet Park in the City of Btirffalo, easily illustrates how much of a detriment that interstate: 190 is to neighborhoods adjacent to the waterfront in the City of Buffalo; and Whereas: The resources of the federal government will be necessary to correct this great mistake. Congressmen Brian I-tiggins has a track record that demonstrates a will to return the waterfront to the public; and Whereas: "Tollbooths do not stabilize neighborhoods, vehicles travelling at fifty -five trtiles an hour do not stabilize neighborhoods, noise and emission pollution associated with highways do not stabilize neighborhoods. Sound governmental work in response to the concerns of property owners and residents stabilizes neighborhoods. Returning valuable waterfront access to residents stabilizes neighborhoods; Now. Therefore lie It Resolved: That the Co.m.mon Council of the City of Buffalo does hereby request that the officials elected to represent the City of Buffalo at the federal level Commission a study that considers removing or relocating Interstate 190 .from the waterfront of the City of Buffalo; and Be It Finally Resolved: That certified copies of this resolution he sent to all county, state and federal officials elected to represent the City ol' Buffalo.
