Melvin Farms public hearing continued as engineers finalize wetlands mapping

The Town of Lysander Planning Board continued the public hearing for the Melvin Farms major subdivision (Case No. 2026—001) while the applicant finalizes an updated plan that shows the newly mapped wetlands.

Julian Clark of Plumley Engineering told the board the field mapping for wetlands is finished and that the next meeting will include revised plans for the subdivision and the entire property. Clark also said he received confirmation from the Onondaga County Department of Transportation that no additional driveways will be permitted on Hayes Road beyond the two shown on the submitted plan.

Chairman John Corey said the public hearing will be carried to the next meeting to allow the applicant time to provide the updated plan. No public comments were offered when the hearing was reopened and adjourned at the start of the meeting.

Next steps: applicant to provide revised plans that incorporate updated wetland locations and the board will revisit the public hearing at the next scheduled Planning Board meeting.
