WHEREAS, the Town Board desires to comply with the requirements of the State Environmental Quality Review Act (“SEQRA”) and its implementing regulations set forth at 6 Part 617 (the “Regulations”); and WHEREAS, the Town Planning Board discussed the proposed local law at its September 20, 2018 meeting and provided comments to the Town Board and Cayuga County Planning considered the law at its meeting on October 11, 2018 and took no action; and WHEREAS, the Town Board has considered the comments submitted to date concerning the proposed local law and has considered the potential environmental impacts relating to the proposed local law for SEQRA purposes; and WHEREAS, the Town Board has thoroughly reviewed all information provided in the FEAF and the additional materials submitted by the public regarding the proposed local law and the potential effects associated with it; and WHEREAS, pursuant to the Regulations, the Town Board has considered the significance of the potential environmental impacts of the Project by using the criteria specified in Section 617.7(c) of the Regulations, and examining the FEAF for the Project, including the information in Parts 1 of the FEAF and completing the analyses for Parts 2 and 3 of the FEAF, together with examining other available supporting information relevant to the proposed local law, to identify the relevant areas of environmental concern, and thoroughly analyzing the identified areas of relevant environmental concern; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Town Board confirms and adopts the following conclusions with respect to SEQRA: 1. The Project is subject to SEQRA. 2. The Town Board hereby classifies the Project as a Type I Action under SEQRA. 3. The Town Board has compared the impacts that that may reasonably be expected to result from the Project to the criteria for determining significance identified in Section 617.7(c)(1) of the Regulations and evaluated the issues of causation and significance in light of the standards under the same Section of the Regulations. 4. When considering potential impacts likely to result from passage of the proposed local law, the Town Board concluded that the development of solar arrays is already permitted under the current Town Code and that the proposed amendments to the Town Code would merely serve to regulate an activity that may occur in the status quo. Thus, the addition of certain safeguards, like setback requirements, among other requirements, will not negatively affect the environment in any way. 5. The Town Board has not identified any significant adverse environmental impacts associated with the Project and none are known to the Town Board. Based upon its review, and for the reasons set forth more fully in the FEAF the Town Board hereby determines that the proposed local law will not have any significant adverse impacts on the environment and reaches the following further conclusions: The proposed local law will not result in substantial adverse change in existing air quality; ground or surface water quality or quantity, traffic or noise levels; a substantial increase in solid waste production; or a substantial increase in potential for erosion, flooding, leaching or drainage problems; (ii) the removal or destruction of large quantities of vegetation or fauna; substantial interference with the movement of a resident or migratory fish or wildlife species; impacts on a significant habitat area; substantial adverse impacts on threatened or endangered species of animal or plant, or the habitat of such species; or (iii) other significant adverse impacts to natural resources; The proposed local law will not affect a critical environmental area as designated pursuant to 6 § 617.14(g); The proposed local law will not conflict with the community's current plans or goals as officially approved or adopted; The proposed local law will not result in the impairment of the character or quality of important historical, archeological, architectural, or aesthetic resources or of existing community or neighborhood character; The proposed local law will not result in a major change in the use of either the quantity or type of energy; The proposed local law will not result in the creation of a hazard to human health; The proposed local law will not result in a substantial change in the use, or intensity of use, of land including architectural, open space or recreational resources, or in its capacity to support existing uses; ---PAGE BREAK--- Regular Town Meeting, October 11, 2018 5 The proposed local law will not result in encouraging or attracting of a large number of people to a place or places for more than a few days, compared to the number of people who would come to such place absent the action; The proposed local law will not result in the creation of a material demand for other actions that would result in one or more of the above consequences; The proposed local law will not result in changes in two or more elements of the environment, no one of which has a significant impact on the environment, but when considered together result in a substantial adverse impact on the environment; and The proposed local law will not result in two or more related actions undertaken, funded or approved by an agency, none of which has or would have a significant impact on the environment, but when considered cumulatively would meet one or more of the criteria in 6 § 617.7(c). 6. The information available concerning the proposed local law was sufficient for the Town Board to make its determination. 7. The Town Board hereby approves and adopts the FEAF for the Project (Parts 1, 2, and 3) with this supporting written elaboration, issues a Negative Declaration, and will not require the preparation of an environmental impact statement for the Project. 8. The Town Board hereby directs the Town Supervisor to execute the FEAF and to arrange for execution by its preparer, and to make any filing(s) and publication required by law of the Negative Declaration, including publishing notice of the Negative Declaration in the Environmental Notice Bulletin. 9. The Town Board hereby authorizes the Town Supervisor and the Town Clerk to take such other steps as may be necessary to carry out this Resolution. 10. This resolution shall take effect immediately. The adoption of the foregoing Resolution was moved by Councilman Cuddeback, seconded by Councilman Juli, and duly put to vote, which resulted as follows: Joan Jayne Voting Aye Clarence Edmonds Voting Aye Steven Cuddeback Voting Aye Bernard Juli Voting Aye Joseph MacDuffee Voting Aye The resolution #2018-80 was thereupon declared duly adopted.

If larger than a single home system, Planning Board approval will be required. The Fire Department will receive a copy of all site plans. ---PAGE BREAK--- Regular Town Meeting, October 11, 2018 6 RESOLUTION #2018-81 TO APPROVE LOCAL LAW 1 OF 2018.
