The two most alarming findings include: The average emergency rehab loan takes more than a year to complete.This is far too long for a program designed to address emergency home repairs. More than half of the program funding goes toward administrative expenses.Only 46 cents of every dollar spent goes towards actual loans to residents.The remaining goes toward administrative expenses,predominately payroll for BURA. The City should investigate ways to reduce administrative costs as well as shortening the amount of time it takes to complete the repairs. Other municipalities, including the similarly sized City of Rochester, provide these repairs through a grant process, as opposed to a loan program. This option, along with any other efforts that could accelerate the process and reduce administrative costs, should be given serious consideration.

REFERRED TO THE CORPORATION COUNSEL NO.203 NYSDEC-CERTIFIES CLEANUP-89 LASALLE NYSDEC Certifies Cleanup Requirements Achieved at Brownfield Site The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation(NYSDEC)has determined that the cleanup requirements to address contamination related to the 89 LaSalle Avenue Site("site")located at 89 LaSalle Avenue, Buffalo, Erie County under New York State's Brownfield Cleanup Program have been or will be met. Please see the map for the site location. The cleanup activities were performed by Legacy South Campus, L.P.,and Legacy UPAL, L.P.with oversight provided by NYSDEC. NYSDEC has approved a Final Engineering Report and issued a Certificate of Completion for the site.Copies of the Final Engineering Report and Notice of the Certificate of Completion are available at the location(s)identified below under"Where to Find Information." Completion of Project The cleanup consisted of." •Excavation and off-site disposal of approximately 350 tons of contaminated soil;and Construction and maintenance of a soil cover system consisting of a minimum two feet of clean imported soil and/or impervious material(i.e,asphalt pavement,concrete sidewalks and buildings),differentiated by a demarcation layer to prevent human exposure to remaining contaminated soil/fill remaining at the site.A majority of areas on the site where the soil cover system is placed have in excess of three to four feet of clean fill overlying the demarcation layer. Environmental easements have also been imposed on the Legacy and City-owned parcels that comprise the site.The easements limit the property to restricted residential,commercial and industrial uses.A Site Management Plan has been prepared that details the management of any future excavation of contaminated soil/fill and the requirements for periodic review and certification of site controls. Final Engineering Report Approved NYSDEC has approved the Final Engineering Report,which: 1)Describes the cleanup activities completed. 2)Certifies that cleanup requirements have been or will be achieved for the site. 3) Describes any institutional/engineering controls to be used. An institutional control is a non-physical restriction on use of the site, such as a deed restriction,when contamination left over alter the cleanup action makes the site suitable for some, but not all uses.An engineering control is a physical barrier or method to manage contamination such as a cap or vapor barrier. 4) Certifies that a site management plan for any engineering controls used at the site has been approved by NYSDEC. The following institutional controls have been or will be put in place on the site: -Land Use Restriction -Soil Management Plan -Monitoring Plan -Institutional Control/Engineering Control Plan -Environmental Easement The following engineering controls have been or will be put in place on the site: -Cover System Next Steps With its receipt of a Certificate of Completion,the applicant is eligible to redevelop the site. In addition,the applicant: • has no liability to the State for contamination at or coming from the site,subject to certain conditions;and • is eligible for tax credits to offset the costs of performing cleanup activities and for redevelopment of the site. A Certificate of Completion may be modified or revoked if,for example,there is a failure to comply with the terms of the order or agreement with NYSDEC. Background Location:The site is located at 89 LaSalle Avenue in the City of Buffalo, Erie County. It is bordered to the north by commercial properties on LaSalle Avenue;to the south and west by a municipal park(McCarthy Park)and residential properties;and to the east by Cordova Avenue and an apartment complex. Site Features: The site consists of five tax parcels addressed as 67 and 89 LaSalle Avenue, and 71 NY L& W RR (71 Cordova Avenue)totaling 9.23 acres.A portion of the 71 NY L&W RR parcel,that is part of the BCP site,is owned by the City of Buffalo. The 67 LaSalle Avenue property on the north end of the site was generally fiat and covered primarily with asphalt pavement and three vacant buildings.The southern portion of the site includes the 89 LaSalle and 71 Cordova Avenue properties and consisted of undeveloped,vacant land covered by a mixture of grassy vegetation,dense brush and trees.There were a few structures located on this part of the site,consisting of a large radio transmitting antennae and small fenced areas protecting equipment that were associated with a former radio station located adjacent to the site.The southern portion of the site sloped slightly to the north with limited distinguishable site features. Concurrent with remediation,the site has been redeveloped and is currently occupied by an apartment complex.Most of the site is now covered by the apartment buildings,paved roadways and parking lots. Current Zoning and Land Use:The property is located in two zoning districts known as the Transit Station and Light Industrial Districts,both of which would permit restricted residential use. Past Use of the Site:The southeastern half of the site,which includes the 71 Cordova and southern portion of the 89 LaSalle parcels, were used as a stone quarry from approximately 1915 through 1950.The quarry was subsequently used by the City of Buffalo as a landfill in the 1950s and 1960s for the disposal of demolition debris,ash,railroad ballast and reportedly some municipal waste.All but a small portion of the southeast comer of the quarry,well to the south of the site near East Amherst Street,was backfilled to the surface. The 67 LaSalle parcel was used as a lumber yard since the early 1900s. More recently, some of the structures on this portion of the site were used for automotive storage after the lumberyard closed,sometime between 2007 and 2009. Site Geology and Hydrogeology:The western and northern portions of the site are covered by a heterogeneous fill layer that varies in thickness from 1.25 to 12.9 feet,generally extending to the top of bedrock.There is little or no native soil.The fill is shallower on the northern end of the site and increases in thickness to the south. The southern and eastern portions of the site were part of a larger bedrock quarry. The fill layer varies in thickness from 19.5 to 45.5 feet,and extends to bedrock.There is no native soil in these portions of the site. The fill found across the site contains ash,cinders,foundry sands,gravel,sand,clay,bricks,glass,wood,metal scraps and miscellaneous debris.The site lithology is consistent with the historic use as a quarry and subsequent solid waste landfill. The site hydrogeology is complicated by the significant man-made elevation differential that exists in the bedrock across the site resulting from the historical rock quarrying activities. Bedrock in the backfilled quarry was encountered at a depth of approximately 45 feet below ground surface(bgs).Groundwater is mostly absent from the fill and overburden.Groundwater in the bedrock monitoring wells was encountered 43 to 54 feet bgs and flows to the northwest beneath the site.

Please see the map for the site location. The cleanup activities were performed by Diamond Hurwitz Scrap, LLC with oversight provided by NYSDEC. NYSDEC has approved a Final Engineering Report and issued a Certificate of Completion for the site.Copies of the Final Engineering Report and Notice of the Certificate of Completion are available at the location(s)identified below under"Where to Find Information." Completion of Project The cleanup consisted of: Cleaning and sealing of the building's interior sumps; Excavation,removal,cleaning and off-site disposal of six underground storage tanks and the disposal of approximately 11,000 gallons of contaminated water within the tanks; Excavation and off-site disposal of 1,211 tons of contaminated soils and 23 tons of construction and demolition debris; •Construction and maintenance of a cover system over the entire site,consisting of asphalt and concrete,to prevent human exposure to remaining contaminated soil/fill remaining at the site;•Installation of a groundwater pump and treat system to achieve a bulk reduction in groundwater contamination and create an inward gradient to prevent impacted groundwater from exiting the site;and Installation of a sub-slab depressurization system in the on-site building to prevent potential soil vapor intrusion into indoor air. An environmental easement has been imposed on the site that limits the property to commercial and industrial uses.A Site Management Plan has been prepared that details the management of any future excavation of contaminated soil/fill,the operation, maintenance and monitoring of the treatment systems and the requirements for periodic review and certification of the controls listed above. Final Engineering Report Approved NYSDEC has approved the Final Engineering Report,which: 1)Describes the cleanup activities completed. 2)Certifies that cleanup requirements have been or will be achieved for the site. 3)Describes any institutional/engineering controls to be used.An institutional control is a non-physical restriction on use of the site, such as a deed restriction,when contamination left over after the cleanup action makes the site suitable for some,but not all uses.An engineering control is a physical barrier or method to manage contamination such as a cap or vapor barrier. 4)Certifies that a site management plan for any engineering controls used at the site has been approved by NYSDEC. The following institutional controls have been put in place on the site: -Environmental Easement -Land Use Restriction -Groundwater Use Restriction -Soil Management Plan -Operation and Maintenance Plan -Monitoring Plan The following engineering controls have been put in place on the site: -Groundwater Treatment Systems -Groundwater Containment -Vapor Mitigation -Cover System Next Steps With its receipt of a Certificate of Completion,the applicant is eligible to redevelop the site. In addition,the applicant: • has no liability to the State for contamination at or coming from the site,subject to certain conditions;and • is eligible for tax credits to offset the costs of performing cleanup activities and for redevelopment of the site. A Certificate of Completion may be modified or revoked if,for example,there is a failure to comply with the terms of the order or agreement with NYSDEC. Background Location:The site is located at 766 New Babcock Street,near Williams Street,in the eastern portion of the City of Buffalo, Erie County. Site Features:The site is bounded by New Babcock Street on the east, Hannah Street on the west,a gravel parking lot on the south and commercial property to the north.The main site feature is a single-story warehouse/maintenance building with an attached office. The remainder of the site is covered by asphalt pavement. Current Zoning and Land Use:The site is zoned for industrial use.The surrounding area is developed with a recycling facility to the west, NFTA bus garages to the southeast,vacant lots to the east,and industrial buildings and commercial facilities to the north,along Williams Street.The nearest residential properties are approx. 1,300 ft.to the southwest of the site. Past Use of the Site:Voelker Analysis was a small,permitted hazardous waste facility for the processing and recovery of chlorinated organic solvents. It was housed in a multi-story wood frame structure and adjoining one-story brick and concrete block building.The facility handled waste solvents such as methylene chloride,trichloroethylene,tetrachloroethene and 1-1-1-trichloroethane.The facility was acquired by EN RX in August of 1987,which moved the solvent recovery operations from the wood frame building into the adjoining brick structure. In 1989,the facility's RCRA hazardous waste recovery permit was revoked and the facility was abandoned. Between 1990 and 1992,the USEPA removed nearly 500 drums of chlorinated solvent wastes that had been left in the facility. Between 1998 and 1999,the older wood frame portion of the facility was demolished by a subsequent owner. Site Geology and Hydrogeology: Fill material covers the entire site. It consists of sand,gravel,and silty clay mixed with varying amounts of brick,concrete and wood fragments,plastic,glass,ash and cinders. Limestone bedrock was found at a depth of 8 to 10 feet, covered with one foot or less of native silt and clay.Groundwater was found at or near the interface of overburden soil and bedrock, and flows in a northerly direction.

Present: Rev.James A. Lewis, Ill-Chairman Anthony Diina William Grillo Tuona Bachelor Bernice Radley The following resolution was introduced: WHEREAS,on October 2,2015, Episcopal Church Home and Affiliates, Inc,(the"Applicant"or"Canterbury Woods"),pursuant to§ 511-122 et.seq.of the Charter and Code of the City of Buffalo(the"Code")and New York General City Law§8 I-b,submitted a Letter of Intent("LOI"),including Exhibits A-K,to the City of Buffalo Zoning Board of Appeals("ZBA"),in furtherance of the Applicant's request for certain Area Variances for a proposed 58-unit continuing care retirement community facility on the northwest comer of 3 Gates Circle(the"Site")in the City of Buffalo(the"City"), Erie County, New York(the"Site");and WHEREAS,the Applicant has provided information in the LOI supporting the request for a front setback area variance and side setback area variance for the proposed height of the Canterbury Woods building;and WHEREAS,a Public Hearing was held on the Area Variance Application by the ZBA on December 16,2015,at which time the Applicant presented the details for the Project and all who wished to comment were allowed to be heard;and WHEREAS,the ZBA has fully reviewed and discussed this matter;and WHEREAS,the Site is currently zoned R5(Apartment-Hotel District);and WHEREAS,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,and the Applicant prepared a Full Environmental Assessment Form("FEAF"),attached as Exhibit"K"to the October 2,2015 LOI,to assist the ZBA in thoroughly evaluating the potential impacts of the action;and WHEREAS,the Project was part of the comprehensive environmental review of the Gates Circle Redevelopment pursuant to SEQRA, which included the preparation of a Generic Environmental Impact Statement("GEIS")and the issuance of a Findings Statement by the City of Buffalo Planning Board("Planning Board")on November 16,2015;and WHEREAS,based on its identification and evaluation of the potential adverse environmental impacts of the Project,the ZBA has determined that the Project is consistent with what was described in the GEIS and the Planning Board's Findings Statement dated November 16,2015,for the overall Gates Circle Project;and WHEREAS,the ZBA has determined that the potential impacts associated with the requested Area Variance are minimal in light of the size and scale of surrounding development,and any negative impacts have been minimized to the greatest extent practicable by the design of the proposed building;and WHEREAS,the ZBA has,pursuant to Code§511-122 et.seq.and New York General City Law§81-b,received and reviewed the Application materials for the Project,and after fully discussing this matter,has decided to approve the requested Area Variances. Now THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS,pursuant to City Code§511-122 et seq.and New York General City Law§8 I-b,as follows: 1. The Applicant seeks a front setback variance and one side setback variance in light of the Building's height.The Building is proposed to have an 88'3"high roof maximum height and within the R5 District,height and setbacks are intertwined.The required front setback is 25'and 10'is being provided;and the required side setback is 24.5'and 16'is being provided. 2. The ZBA has made the following determinations with respect to the Applicant's request for Area Variances for setbacks associated with the Project: a. That given the urban nature of the Project Site and the height of adjacent structures, the requested Area Variances will not have a significant adverse impact upon adjacent properties or the character of the neighborhood; b.That the only other means by which the Applicant can meet the space requirements would be to dramatically increase the footprint of the building, which would reduce .the proposed surface parking and landscaped areas, exacerbate the height or setback encroachments at the Site and eliminate design advantages associated with the existing Site Plan, which was approved by the Planning Board on January 11,2016 after a thorough review of the Project; c. That in an urban setting like the Project Site, in which the surrounding area is highly developed, with several tall buildings, the proposed Area Variances are not substantial; d. That the front setback is relatively minor, and is further mitigated by the large public right-of-way between Gates Circle and the actual property line. Moreover, the former hospital was in excess of 10 stories in height and located immediately on the existing property line,so the building's setback represents an improvement from prior conditions; e.That the side setback is a setback from an internal lot line that is part of the larger Gates Circle Redevelopment Project and therefore will not have a negative impact on the character of the neighborhood or nearby properties; f. That the Building is located on a critical parcel within the Gates Circle Redevelopment Site and is limited in size to accommodate additional development not controlled by the Applicant.The Applicant could shrink the footprint of the building and actually make it taller to meet the setback requirements, however, this would produce an undesirable increase in height, causing a more substantial visual impact; g. That the requested Area Variances will not have an adverse impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the surrounding neighborhood because they will allow for a smaller building footprint, less impervious area and the incorporation of design elements which will benefit users of the Site;and h. That while the need for this Area Variance may be self-created, the Area Variances will result in a better-designed project that minimizes impacts upon adjacent properties. 3. For the foregoing reasons, the ZBA approves the requested Area Variances for a front setback and side setback for Canterbury Woods,allowing said building to have a maximum height of 88'3"(88 feet,3 inches). 4.This resolution shall be effective immediately. PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City of Buffalo Zoning Board of Appeals on the 20`h of January,2016. RECEIVED AND FILED NO.207 J. ROZANSKI-CONCERNS FOOD STORE 3083 MAIN ST The CC Legislation Committee is reviewing for its approval the application for a food store at 3083 Main Street. This proposed business is in the Transit Station Area District and is a permitted use.The Community encourages new businesses. Over the years I have been bewildered by the City, s licensing process. Under the City Charter, Chapter 194: Food Stores, the Department of Permits and Inspection Services(PIS)issues the license.The CC approves the application(whatever that means).Too often not only the applicant but also the CC seem confused by the process. A number of food store applications are before the Committee.My comments about 3083 Main can probably also apply to some of them. The applicant Saleh Sayad lives in Amherst.Why does he want to open a store in Buffalo and not Amherst? Why at 3083 Main Street?There is an Aldi across the street,a 7-11 and Frank's Mobile convenient store two blocks away,and another food store around the corner on Lisbon. It appears that Mr.Sayad is renting the space(s)for the store. What is the size of the space?How many rooms?Is there a toilet room? Will there be any renovations?Will steps be taken to make the store ADA compliant? Is there a floor plan showing the store layout? Will there be employees? What products will be sold? The store sign is already in place. It indicates that the store will have cold cuts and sandwiches.Will these be prepackaged or prepared on site?(Note Food Store restrictions)The Charter should have a section for delicatessens different from food stores. What type of groceries will be sold?e.g.fresh fruits and vegetables?Will perishable goods such as milk and eggs be sold? Will beer be sold? What"dry goods"will be sold?The Charter should define dry goods. Will deliveries be through the entrance or is there a side door? What will be the hours of operation? Has Mr.Sayad met with NYS Agriculture and Markets, Erie County Health Department?

REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON FINANCE NO.281 BY: MESSERS FONTANA,SCANLON,WINGO,SR.,WYATT,PRIDGEN,GOLOMBEK,RIVERA REQUEST OF STATE TO CRACK DOWN ON ILLEGAL SALES OF LOOSE CIGARETTES, DRUG PARAPHERNALIA AND OTHER ILLEGAL MATERIALS IN LOCAL FOOD STORES Whereas: During the turn of the century the Common Council found it necessary to require corner store dell establishments to be licensed by the City of Buffalo;and Whereas:The licensing of food store delis has given the Council some ability to regulate the industry;and Whereas:Years later,some neighborhood food stores continue to cause concerns among residents;and Whereas:The genesis of these concerns revolves around the sale of loose cigarettes(or"loosies"),drug paraphernalia,stolen merchandise, EBT card fraud,and other illegal activities;and Whereas:The few stores that engage in these detrimental activities place an unfair burden on the law abiding stores;and Whereas:Current laws resulting in fines for the sale of loose cigarettes and other license violations have not stopped the proliferation of illegal practices. Therefore, Be It Resolved: The Common Council of the City of Buffalo requests the Western New York Delegation to examine measures to penalize food store licensees that violate State laws;and Be It Further Resolved: That these penalties include the forfeiture of State Liquor Licenses,State Lottery Licenses,and other applicable licenses based on a License holder's selling of loose cigarettes,drugs,drug paraphernalia,and the willful commission of EBT fraud. Be It Finally Resolved: That copies of this resolution be sent to the members of the Western New York Delegation. ADOPTED NO.282 BY: MR.FONTANA,MR.RIVERA STRATEGIES TO COMBAT OWNER-OCCUPIED DRUG HAVENS Whereas:The proliferation of the sale and use of illegal drugs has become a primary threat to the safety and well-being of the communities and residents of the City of Buffalo;and Whereas: Drug dealers typically set up shop out of rental apartments,giving the City of Buffalo and the Buffalo Police recourse to combat illegal activity by petitioning the property owner to evict the tenants via the New York State Bawdy House Law;and Whereas: In some instances the perpetrators of illegal drug activity are the owner-occupants of their properties who cannot be evicted from their homes;and Whereas:There are three examples of such properties in the Lovejoy District at 1533 Bailey Avenue,389 Gold Street,and 121 Benzinger Street;and Whereas:The owner-occupants of these properties have allowed them to become"flop houses,"havens for drug dealing,drug use, and other illegal activities that are a major nuisance to the community and pose a severe threat to health and human life,as individuals there have overdosed and/or died in certain cases;and Whereas: Even if these drug havens are raided by the Police and the owner-occupants are arrested,they are most often able to return to the property and continue operating it in such conditions unless they are charged and convicted of a felony that carries a considerable jail sentence;and Whereas:The unique combination of circumstances surrounding these owner-occupied properties makes them extremely detrimental to the community and requires a pragmatic approach to eliminate the threat they pose. Now,Therefore, Be It Resolved: The City of Buffalo Common Council hereby requests the Department of Law and the Buffalo City Housing Court to investigate any existing applicable laws or legal procedures that can be used to hold negligent owner-occupants accountable for the willful and malicious operation of drug havens in the City of Buffalo,up to and including civil penalties akin to those imposed by the New York State Bawdy House Law.
