“Everybody can be great... because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.” - Martin Luther King, Jr.
Greetings from Wayne Central School District. Below are some items of interest.
Newsletter:
1.
2. Bray question – Mrs. Woodard contacted Mr. Vanderbyl this morning regarding the Board question about the student having an IEP. Mr. Vanderbyl does not see the student’s IEP as being any kind of factor in this particular matter. Understand that judges usually make the final determination but he sees no problem at all.
3.
CSEA Negotiations – I spoke to Mr. Katz this morning. He agreed to lower the cost from $7500 for the training to $4900. He also reduced the per hour charge from $135 to $115. If any additional Board members wish to participate in training please contract me and I will add your names to the list.
4.
D&C Full Page Article - Attached is a wonderful article on the successes of Scott Freischlag’s wrestling program at Wayne. He is to be congratulated for the excellence of the athletes under his direction and leadership. Our wrestling team is to be commended as well for their commitment and drive to win.
5.
Ginna Public Hearing - Now I know why last night’s discussion didn’t make sense. The public hearing is Thursday, February 17th at 7:30 P.M. Jim is sending out the public notice.
6.
Practices- You may hear some complaints from coaches. I found out today that some practices were planned for this Monday, Martin Luther King Jr. Day. I have cancelled those practices. If academics are as important to our district as is athletics then it is hard for me to rationalize why the holiday is important enough to cancel physics class and Math A class but not important enough to cancel basketball class. I want to discuss this with our administrative team. I have learned that there are some holidays that we traditionally do practice on (Martin Luther King Day) and some we do not (Easter). I am also looking for input from you so please email me your thoughts.

of the Town of Walworth approving the amendment to the Comprehensive Plan as previously

Motion carried.
3. NEGATIVE DECLARATION:
Motion by Councilman Yale that the proposed action is one that will not have a significant impact on the environment and that a negative declaration be declared because after
reviewing the Full Environmental Assessment Form and all the documents and comments within the Town of Walworth’s possession and the data submitted in connection with the proposed action, including the proposed Resolution of the Town Board amending the
Comprehensive Plan and the proposed Local Law No. 1 of the year 2005, rezoning several parcels of land and proposed amendment to the Zoning Map, various information received by the Town of Walworth over the last several years pertaining to applications made to its various
boards and input from the Comprehensive Plan Committee and other boards of the Town of Walworth and the Wayne County Planning Board, it was more specifically determined that the granting of the proposed action would not result in significant impact on the environment and after considering, more particularly, the following factors:
A. Impact on Air, Water and Traffic: There will not be a substantial adverse change in existing air quality, ground or surface water quality or quantity, traffic or noise. In regard to the increased traffic or noise which may be caused by the proposed
expansion of the PD Districts: Planned Development within the existing PD
Districts: Planned Development and the rezoning of parcels therein, based upon all
information known concerning traffic on Walworth-Penfield Road (NYS Route 441),
including traffic studies received by the Town from time to time, there will not be a
significant increase in traffic stress existing capacities or any increased
environmental concerns. In regard to noise, there is no evidence of any substantial
increase in noise that would impact the environment. The present local laws and
regulations will mitigate any increased noise impact and will also mitigate any
possible increase in noise or traffic as a result of amending and modifying the lot size
and living area within the RR-1 Districts: Single Family Residential;
B. Impact on Solid Waste: There will not be a substantial increase in solid waste
production;
C. Impact on Drainage: There is no evidence of substantial increase in potential erosion,
flooding, leaking or drainage problems based upon all information available to the
Town and reviewed by Town employees including records on file with the Town.
The Town Code and standards provide adequate protection against future drainage.
D. Impact on Municipal Facilities: There is a small to moderate impact on municipal
facilities and services, such as police and fire protection; however, existing capacities
are sufficient to handle projected demand. Existing public water and sanitary sewer
facilities have capacity to meet the needs anticipated as a result of the amendment to
the existing Comprehensive Plan (as amended) and the amendment of the Town of
Walworth Zoning Law.
E.
Conflict with Community Current Plans or Goals: There is no significant conflict
with the Walworth community's current plans or goals as officially approved, adopted or as proposed.
F. Impact on Agricultural Lands: The Town's laws and regulations protect and preserve agricultural land wherever possible and the proposed changes will not have any greater impact on agriculture in the Town than as there presently exists. This action will allow residential and commercial development in areas where it is currently allowed but is currently zoned agricultural. This site is proposed to be zoned to allow agricultural operations in the future and we anticipate no substantial impacts on agricultural areas in the proposed area of change;
G. Change in Density: The proposed action will affect changes in density in current zoning, which will be somewhat increased but only moderately and there are sufficient controls within the laws of the Town to prevent any changes in density from having a significant impact on the environment;
H. Change in Substantial Use or Intensity of Use: The proposed action will not cause
a significant change in the use or intensity of use of land including
agricultural, open
spaces or recreational sources or in its capacity to support its existing uses and the
changes are not so substantial that they would have a substantial impact on
the environment.
I. Change in Population: There will not be a substantial encouragement to attract a large number of people to the place for more than a few days compared to the number of people who would come to the place absent of the action and the Town has substantial controls in any possible such instances to protect the environment.
J. Impact on Historical Sites: That upon the action being adopted, there will be no impairment of historical, archaeological, wildlife or natural resources based upon all information within the knowledge of the Town that has been gathered in the past.
K. Impact on Energy: The proposed action has no impact whatsoever on the community's energy supply.
L. Impact on Public Health: The proposed action will not have any impact on public health and in any instance, wherein as a result of the adoption of the proposed action and the changes in land use a situation arises where public health could be affected, the Town has adequate laws, rules and regulations to protect the public.
M. Impact of Two or more Elements: There are no changes in two or more elements of the environment, which together would have a significant impact on the environment, even if alone they would not.
N. All such possible impacts on the environment have been explored in depth and wherever necessary, as in the case of sewer and drainage impacts, have been mitigated to the extent that there will be no significant impact on the environment as a result of the proposed modification of the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Law and whatever future impacts that are presently unknown which may possibly come to light, the Boards to which applications are made for development can control and mitigate the impacts and there are sufficient laws within the Town’s Municipal Code to further help mitigate any possible future impacts that may come to light.
