The Supervisor’s Office will oversee the central purchasing functions for all general office and printed supplies.
The following procedures should be employed to secure such items:
1. Contact the Supervisor’s Secretary with supplies needed. If the order is for printed items, provide a sample.
Allow 5 business days as a minimum for normal delivery and plan accordingly.

Methods of Purchase: The following purchasing methods are used by the Town to acquire products, services and

Highway Superintendent, Town Supervisor, and the Water & Sewer Superintendent can purchase expenditures of up
to $2,500.00 without prior authorization from the Town Board. Anything between $2,500.00 and $10,000.00 needs
three (3) written or verbal quotes and approval from the Town Board. Anything above $10,000.00 needs to be put
out for Bid (See Bid Guidelines).
Code Enforcement Officer (Department Head), Town Clerk and Assessor can purchase expenditures of up to
$1,000.00 without prior authorization from the Town Board. Anything above $1,000.00 needs three (3) written or
verbal quotes and approval from the Town Board. Anything between $1,000.00 and $10,000.00 needs three written
or verbal quotes and approval from the Town Board. Anything above $10,000.00 needs to be put out to Bid (See
Bid Guidelines).
Bid Guidelines:
Every purchase to be made must be initially reviewed to determine whether it is a purchase contract or a public
works contract. Once that determination is made, a decision will be made to determine whether the item of supply
of service is subject to competitive bidding, taking into account past purchases. The following items are not subject
to competitive bidding pursuant to Section 103 of the General Municipal Law: purchase contracts under $10,000.00
and public works contracts under $20,000.00; emergency purchases; goods purchased from agencies for the blind or
severely handicapped pursuant to Section 175-b of the State Finance Law; goods purchased from correctional
institutions pursuant to Section 186 of the Correction Law; purchases under State contracts pursuant to Section 104
of the General Municipal Law; purchases under County contracts pursuant to Section 103 (3) of the General
Municipal Law; and surplus and second-hand purchases from another governmental entity and professional services
or services requiring special or technical skill, training, or expertise.
The decision that a purchase is not subject to competitive bidding will be documented in writing by the individual
making the purchase. This documentation may include written or verbal quotes from vendors, a memo from the
purchaser indicating how the decision was arrived at, a copy of the contract indicating the source which makes the
item or service exempt, or any other written documentation that is appropriate.
Pursuant to General Municipal Law Section 104-b (2) (f), the procurement policy may contain circumstances when,
or types of procurement for which, in the sole discretion of the governing body, the solicitation of alternative
proposals or quotations will not be in the best interest of the municipality. The lowest responsible proposal or quote
shall be awarded the purchase or service contract unless the purchaser prepares a written justification providing
reasons why it is in the best interest of the town and its taxpayers to make an award to another other than the low
ORGANIZATIONAL TOWN BOARD MEETING (Continued) January 5, 2016
bidder. If a bidder is not deemed responsible, facts supporting that judgment shall also be documented and filed
with the record supporting the procurement.
A good faith effort shall be made to obtain the required number of proposals or quotes. If the purchaser is unable to
obtain the required number of proposals or quotes, the purchaser shall document the attempt made at obtaining the
proposals.
All purchases exceeding $10,000.00 for all departments shall be put out to bid according to the following
procedures:
1. A Resolution should be presented to the Town Board authorizing the Department Head to seek bids for specific
supplies, materials, services, etc., over $10,000.00.
2. Once the Resolution is passed, a Legal Notice must be published in the local newspaper informing the public of
the products or services being bid. It will be the responsibility of the Department Head to
prepare and submit the Legal Notice with an informational copy filed with Town Board correspondence.
3. The Department Head prepares bid packages with detailed specifications and conditions including items bid,
units and total quantity desired, instructions for bidding, delivery information, bid opening date and any special
requirements for bidding.
4. Bid notices are sent via mail, fax and e-mail to vendors, or can be picked up at the Town Clerk’s Office.
5. All sealed bids will be opened at the time and date listed in the Resolution at the Town Clerk’s Office. Any
bids not received prior to the bid-opening deadline will be rejected. Sealed bids are publicly opened and read at
the time and place designated in the bid documents and Legal Notices. All bid tabulations showing bid results
are available for public inspection during regular business hours at the Town Clerk’s Office upon receipt from
the Department Head. The Department Head will provide the Town Clerk with the bid tabulation, normally
within 5 business days after the opening of the bid.
BEST VALUE CONTRACTS
Section 1: Legislative Intent.
New York State General Municipal Law §103 requires competitive bidding for purchase contracts and public works
contracts and has historically required that such bids be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder whose bid meets the
requirements of the specifications for the project. Section 103 was amended to provide that by enacting a Local Law
so providing, towns and other municipalities may award purchase contracts, which would otherwise be subject to the
"lowest bidder" rule, on the basis of best value, as defined in the New York State State Finance Law §163, to a
responsive and responsible bidder or offer. The Town Board hereby determines that it is in the best interest of the
Town of Farmington and its residents for the Town to have the authority to award purchase contracts on the basis of
best value.
Section 2: Best value contracts.
In addition to the other manners of awarding contracts provided in the New York State General Municipal Law section
103 and the Town of Farmington Procurement Policy, the Town of Farmington may award purchase contracts,
including contracts for service work, but excluding any purchase contracts necessary for the completion of a public
works contract pursuant to Article 8 of the New York State Labor Law, on the basis of best value, as that term is
defined in §163 of the New York State State Finance Law, to a responsive and responsible bidder or offerer in the
manner provided by §103 of the New York State General Municipal Law.
Section 3: Authority
This local law is enacted pursuant to the authority of the Municipal Home Rule Law and the General Municipal Law
§103 (1).
Section 4: Severability
If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section or part of this local law or the application thereof to any person, firm or
corporation, or circumstance, shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unconstitutional,
such order or judgment shall not affect, impair or invalidate the remainder thereof, but shall be confined in its operation
to the clause, sentence, paragraph, section or part of this local law or in its application to the person, individual, firm
or corporation or circumstance directly involved in the controversy in which such judgment or order shall be rendered.
This policy shall be reviewed annually by the Town Board at its Organizational Meeting. (Adopted by the Town
Board May 23, 2006.)
Best Value Contracts adopted by Local Law No. 2 of 2014.

PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR: Dave Cox – Passero Associates & Mark Stevens – S. B. Ashley Company –
Collett Woods Townhouses Project
Mr. Stevens gave a brief overview on the project and what has happened since they last met. He highlighted the following:
24 acre property two sections due to federal wetlands
100 multifamily units- will have a mix of two story and single story ranch style townhouses
Nice connection to the current Collett Woods Townhouses
He added that since the last time they met they have gone before the Planning Board and he provided the following highlights
from their recommendations:
The Planning Board finds that the proposed rezoning of land from RB Restricted Business to RMF Residential Multiple-Family
is generally consistent with the land use goals, objectives, and policies contained in the adopted 2011 Edition of the Town of
Farmington Comprehensive Plan and, therefore, recommends the Town Board to continue with the formal rezoning process
Developer has shown a good track record with what he has done in the past and what he can do in the future
Traffic impact of townhouses will be less than if it was restricted business
Concern if left restricted business there could be a strip type mall with vacant businesses
Liked the connection of residential to residential, nice fit
Liked the idea of sidewalks along south side of West Collett Road along the cross walks at both West Corporate Drive and at
State Route 332 where there is an approved signalized cross walk for said State highway
Liked the public improvements – extension of watermain, sub-street off Corporate Drive, landscaping berm around portion of the
proposed sire at the southwest corner of the intersection of State Route 332 and West Collett Road
Mr. Stevens stated that they were there to request the Town Board to set a Public Hearing for the rezoning on the property.
Supervisor Ingalsbe asked for the proposed break out of the townhouses, Mr. Stevens replied that there would be 39 two-story
units and 61 ranch-styles single story units for a total of 100 units. Councilman Bowerman asked if the existing pool will be
large enough to accommodate the additional units, Mr. Cox replied yes it is.
Supervisor Ingalsbe asked if there were any staff comments, there were none.
Director of Development and Planning, Ron Brand, stated that they drafted a Local Law on this rezoning and a resolution setting
a public hearing is on the agenda.
Supervisor Ingalsbe asked if there were any questions from the public. Mr. Mickelsen asked who owned the land currently, Mr.
Brand replied that is was owned by Ontario Properties Inc., Skip Shumway. Mr. Mickelsen asked is the sale of the land
contingent on the rezoning request being approved, Mr. Stevens replied yes.

PUBLIC HEARINGS: Collett Woods Townhouse Project Phase III, rezoning land from
RB to RMF
Supervisor Ingalsbe opened the public hearing at 7:00 p.m. The Town Clerk read the legal notice. Jess Sudol- Passero
Associates, Mark Stevens-Ashley Corporation appeared for this application. Mr. Sudol gave background information pertaining
to this project stating that it will have approximately 100 units and will be an extension to phase II. He added that the County
Planning Board had unanimously approved the project with fairly minor comments. He added that the project does include some
regional improvements such as looping a public waterline along West Corporate Drive also adding a sidewalk along West
Corporate Drive and along Collett Road which will improve pedestrian connectivity in the area. He pointed out that they are
committed to extensive landscaping and buffering along Route 332 to shield themselves against the traffic. He added that the
residential nature of this project is less impactful on the community when looking at things like traffic and lighting when
compared to what could be constructed based on the current zoning for example they are not proposing any additional curb cuts
on Route 332 or Collett Road, they both would come off of the existing and currently underutilized West Corporate Drive than
the amount of traffic generated by the project itself would be far less than if it was fully developed as Restricted Business. He
added that this project gives them the opportunity to incorporate a lot of things like open space among other amenities and
walking trails that are all tied back into the other phases. He stated that if they were successful getting approvals from the Town
Board and Planning Board they would like to start construction in the spring if possible.
Supervisor Ingalsbe asked if Staff had any questions or comments. Ron Brand, Director of Planning and Development, stated
that the County Planning Board approved the project. With no other comments, Supervisor Ingalsbe closed the public hearing at
7:05 p.m.

PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR: Home Leasing – Proposed Farmington Apartments Phase II Incentive
Zoning Application – Greg McMahon-McMahon/LaRue Associates, Nelson Leenhouts and Todd Goodwin–
Home Leasing LLC
Greg McMahon handed out maps of the proposed project to the Town Board and staff. Mr. McMahon stated that their there to
start the process to amend incentive zoning for the project. He added that the property is located on both sides of Route 332, just
south of Route 96. He added that it is approximately 65 acres and was in front of the board in July 2009 for incentive rezoning
which was granted. He stated that there is roughly 50 acres on the west side of Route 332 and 15 acres on the eastside of Route
332. He stated that so far built on the site is Mercier Boulevard which loops around to a cul-de-sac and then to the 88 units of
senior housing units which was all developed by Home Leasing. They are now proposing to develop 144 (18.4 acres) of 8-plex
design buildings consisting of 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom, and 3 bedroom apartments (lots 4 & 5 on the original incentive zoning
plan). He added that lots 4 & 5 were designated for Restricted Business as part of the incentive zoning and what is being
proposed is 18 8-plex buildings with a dedicated town road that would connect Hathaway Drive which is currently a dead end
road and looping it around and tying it into Mercier Boulevard. He added that there would be utilities, lighting, sidewalks,
interconnection to the trail system, storm water, a community building, playground, and other assets as part of this development.
He added that there was a letter submitted from Home Leasing outlining the project and amenities with the application. He
provided the following amenities: dedicated road connection between Hathaway Drive and Mercier Blvd., pedestrian
interconnection, water main connection between dead end on Hathaway and Mercier Blvd., construction of storm water facilities,
street lighting along Hathaway Drive from Mercier Blvd. to the end of the project, and a reduction in peak hour traffic as a result
of change in zoning from business to residential.
Mr. McMahon referred back to the original incentive zoning plan which broke the property into 7 lots, two lots located on the
eastside of Route 332 were designated for commercial as was lot 1 which is a stand-alone lot in the northeast corner of the large
parcel on the west. He added that the two properties that they are dealing with is south of the creek were designated restricted
business, the existing two which is the senior housing and lot 3 which is designated for residential use. Their request is to amend
the incentive zoning to permit the multi-family housing to be located on the south side of the creek. Supervisor Ingalsbe asked
how much of the land is currently owned by the applicant, Mr. McMahon replied parcel 2 which is the senior housing.
Supervisor Ingalsbe asked if the applicant has the option to buy lots 4 & 5, Mr. McMahon replied yes. Supervisor Ingalsbe asked
if the estate still owns lot 3, Mr. McMahon replied yes. Councilman Casale asked what the percentage was for 1 bedrooms
versus the 2 and 3 bedrooms, Mr. McMahon replied that there would be 64 one bedrooms, 64 two bedrooms, and 16 three
bedrooms. Councilman Casale asked if the apartments would be on slabs, Mr. McMahon replied yes. Councilman Casale asked
is there would be storage, Mr. McMahon replied yes and they would have sprinklers according to code. Mr. McMahon stated that
the amenities were provided in the letter.
Councilman Holtz asked what the reasoning was for all the commercial usage to be pulled out of the two lots, Mr. McMahon
replied that the current incentive zoning was restricted business which is limited to doctor’s offices, insurance offices, they were
never intended for commercial use such as restaurants, and he felt there was just as much as a demand for housing and it
complements the existing senior housing. Mr. McMahon added that another benefit it would reduce the amount of traffic and he
felt it fits a need in the community. Supervisor Ingalsbe asked if approved where they would start on the project, McMahon
replied that the road would have to be constructed all the way through then move forward with Phase 1. Highway Superintendent
Giroux had a concern about snow removal and where it would be plowed to as to not be placed in the town dedicated roadway.
Mr. McMahon replied that they have more parking than is necessary for code and if the project moves forward there will be some
fine tuning.
Supervisor Ingalsbe stated that they do a good project and maintain the current buildings well but his concern is the size and
number of apartments and losing some of the future office buildings. Supervisor Ingalsbe stated that he would like to see them
do the opposite side of the road as the first stage and leave some additional room for office buildings. Councilman Holtz stated
that it was very high density. Mr. Brand asked if Mr. McMahon had information on what the incentive zoning was approved for
on the map. Mr. McMahon replied that Parcel 4 is Restricted Business, lot coverage is 35%, designated setbacks; Parcel 5 was
designated as Restricted Business, lot coverage is 35%, with various setbacks as part of the incentive zoning. Mr. Brand inquired
about the number of parking spaces. Mr. McMahon stated that Parcel 4 shows 260 spaces and Parcel 5 shows 220 spaces. Mr.
Brand asked how that compares to what they propose now. Mr. McMahon replied that with 144 units and two parking spaces per
unit it would be a total of 288 spaces versus roughly 500 spaces under the Restricted Business incentive zoning.
Supervisor Ingalsbe inquired about the site where the applicant wanted to start first shows seven buildings and the community
center, and added that he would like to see some office space there even if they started four buildings up higher. Tim Mickelsen,
resident, inquired about the east side of 332, Mr. McMahon stated the under the current incentive zoning it is designated as
commercial as is lot 1 which is a frontage lot and is not part of this incentive zoning amendment project.
D.S.B. Engineers & Architects – Proposed Incentive Zoning District review for the County Road 41 property
at the southwest corner of County Road 41 and Route 332 – Walt Baker-D.B.S. Engineers, Peter Psyllos-The
Distillery Corp., and Joe Sortino and Kevin Goodwine- Sortino Builders
Mr. Baker stated that they were seeking rezoning of the property with incentive zoning. The property is located on the southwest
corner of County Road 41 and State Route 332. He stated that it is unique in its location as there are different zonings that
surround the property. To the east is General Business, to the south is multi-family, to the southwest is the future general trail
system, and to the west is residential, to the north is Light Industrial and General Business. He stated that with their property
there is approximately 14.5 acres along Route 332 that is zoned General Business and the remaining land of approximately 115
acres is zoned R-1-15 (residential 15,000 sf lots). The proposal is to develop the site with a great General Business area
increasing the area from the present 400’ depth along Route 322 to 1000’, from 14.5 acres to 49 acres, included in the 49 acres
Mr. Psyllos has secured 4.6 acres presently zoned Light Industrial to be included in the General Business area. The remaining
approximately 85 acres they are proposing a residential neighborhood with a diversified concept to address the residential
marketing needs. They would like to use incentive zoning as they are changing the use of the property.
Mr. Baker pointed at about 9.5 acres of property that is currently owned by Hansen and is designated as Industrial Zoning
currently, Mr. Psyllos has secured a contract to purchase half of that land (4.5 acres) that they would like to incorporate into the
rezoning project. The project would include 90 single family homes, 108 townhomes would be on a private street in a gated
section with a clubhouse and pool, and an assisted living section. He added the property surrounds the town owned Hathaway
Cemetery which they would preserve it and provide a parking area for anyone who wishes to visit it. The blue areas a storm water
control ponds. The General Business area would provide many uses, possibly a drug store, a gas station, a bank, or a box store,
they have no tenants at this point. They are requesting to change the zoning to Incentive Zoning. Supervisor Ingalsbe stated that
when they had met with himself and Mr. Brand they talked about a road coming south off the property, Mr. Baker agreed and
then he pointed to a green area on the map, they know the town with the trail system and the connections and Auburn Meadows
which is south of the trail system they are looking to dedicate 5.8 acres for trails. Mr. Baker did reference a loop around road.
Mr. Baker talked about having a traffic signal on Route 332 to service the town along with some right in left out traffic turns, also
County Road 41 single turn lanes.
Supervisor Ingalsbe commented that a few of the building lots looked small and felt that when it gets to the Planning Board
stages they may ask to cut down the number of lots to make them bigger. Mr. Baker stated a 75 foot width lots gives them
flexibility to have a reasonable size house with some yard and shed and tools. Councilman Holtz asked if the roads through the
single family would be dedicated town roads, Mr. Baker replied yes just as in a standard subdivision. Supervisor Ingalsbe asked
where the build out would begin, Mr. Baker replied probably with the single family homes and townhomes. Councilman Holtz
stated if they have no tenants yet how does it work with the incentive zoning, Mr. Baker replied that they cannot market for
something until they know they have the incentive zoning to do so. Mr. Brand asked if there was any good restaurants, Mr.
Baker replied that he did not know.
Tim Mickelsen asked what amenities are being offered, Mr. Baker replied more water, more sewer, more pressure, more highway
roads, sidewalks, traffic lights, and trail system, parklands, and street lights.
PUBLIC CONCERNS: Jane Guglielmo – 1607 Wheatstone Drive – Water bill late fee
Mrs. Guglielmo stated that she has never been late on paying the water bill in the past. She is requesting a waiver of the late fee.
She handed in supporting documentation. She was advised to pay the entire bill and if the waiver was granted she would see a
credit on her next bill.

DISCUSSION: Canandaigua-Farmington Townline Road IMA (Intermunicipal
Agreement)
Supervisor Ingalsbe stated that there has been two different IMA’s that the our Town Attorney and the Town of Canandaigua Town
Attorney worked on and some point in November the Town of Canandaigua took a break and stated that they were not ready to do
it yet. He stated that last month they heard back from the Town of Canandaigua with a newer version and ask to look at it. He
added that he had thought Canandaigua would take action on the Townline Road MRB Proposal so MRB could engineer the rebuild
of Townline Road and the IMA but they took no action on either. He spoke with Supervisor Helming and told her the board would
discuss it tonight. He stated that he knew some of the board members didn’t want the IMA at all until the town road was completely
rebuilt because what the IMA calls for swapping of road ends for maintenance responsibility. He added that it has always been a
gentleman’s agreement between the two towns with Farmington plowing and maintaining County Road 8 east to the end of
Townline Road and Canandaigua plows and maintains from Townline Road east to County Road 8 west to New Michigan Road.
He added that both towns see a need to rebuild Town of Canandaigua from Route 332 west to New Michigan and that it will
probably be done over the next two or three years. Supervisor Ingalsbe stated that he knows there are concerns of signing it now
because it says they (Town of Farmington) would take responsibility now when it hasn’t been rebuilt yet. He stated that he told
Canandaigua that they only way the IMA would get approved is if it stated as sections of the road was rebuilt to highway standards
and if MRB, who is the engineer for both towns, also agreed to that, then we would take over the maintenance of that section once
its completed, whether it’s done in two or three sections. The board felt it was best to wait on signing the IMA. Supervisor Ingalsbe
stated that he could go run it back through our attorney then to their attorney and he can call Supervisor Helming and tell her how
it shook out. Our attorney says that we don’t need an IMA and continue to do it the way it is without anything in place. Councilman
Holtz stated that he doesn’t know why Canandaigua is tying the two proposals together and he would like to see them commit to
rebuilding the road like we have before they take action on anything further. Supervisor Ingalsbe stated that he will talk with
Supervisor Helming and suggest they pass the engineering proposal at their special meeting Monday night or their meeting in April.
Michelle Deliedu, 1142 Cunningham Drive – Sewer Bill
Mrs. Deliedu had asked the board to waive the late fee she was assessed due to a post office error causing her payment not to get
here on time. Supervisor Ingalsbe stated that the Water & Sewer Superintendent had recommended to the board to follow current
procedures of no waivers as to not set a residence. Councilman Holtz stated that it’s unfortunate but it’s a post office issue and
doesn’t feel they should waive it. Councilman Bowerman agreed. Supervisor Ingalsbe apologized to Mrs. Deliedu. Mrs. Deliedu
replied that she knows the post office won’t hold themselves as accountable.

PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR: Farmington Apartments – Home Leasing- Greg McMahon (McMahon
LaRue) and Todd Goodwin (Home Leasing)
Mr. McMahon stated that they appeared before the Board a few weeks ago with a plan for requesting revisions to the incentive
zoning and the Board had a number of comments and concerns so they had gone back and made a few changes and revisions and
incorporated most of what they had heard from the Board. He touched on a few of the revisions: reduced the number of
apartments from 144 to 104 (32 one bedroom, 40 two bedroom, and 32 three bedroom), added a restricted business use along the
frontage of Route 332, added storage buildings, relocated a building, storm water pond. They will provide some sort of trail
connection, sidewalks, street lighting and other amenities. Supervisor Ingalsbe asked if there would be a bus pull off, Mr.
McMahon answered that they provided a bus stop with a covered top. Councilman Casale asked where the funding was coming
from, Mr. Goodwin replied through the state tax credit program. Councilman Casale asked if the State was paying all of it, Mr.
Goodwin replied just a portion of it, they allocate a certain amount of tax credits and then the rest will come from outside
investors. Councilman Casale asked if this will be subsidized housing, Mr. Goodwin replied no. Councilman Casale was also
concerned about the need for one bedroom apartments since there are currently a number of vacant one bedroom apartments in
Farmington. Councilman Bowerman asked if the qualification to rent an apartment is income based, Mr. Goodwin replied it will
be based of income and assets. Councilman Bowerman asked if they determine the persons rent off their income, Mr. Goodwin
replied no because there are preset rental rates that the State sets. Mr. Goodwin stated that the typical rental will be $800 per
month.
Ron Brand, Director of Planning and Development pointed out that Home Leasing has taken over the Stablegate project at
Terrace Apartments which they are seeking grant funding for that project. He added that a letter of support was sent along with
concerns.

WHEREAS, an overcharged payment was made by a Victor Sewer District customer in the amount of $17.00 for the 2015 4th

Water/Sewer Superintendent.
Discussion: Supervisor Ingalsbe stated that the individual is a 90 year old woman who went with her son into the Victor Town
Hall to pay the sewer bill and somehow the payment did not get recorded with us so they paid it a second time. The Town of
Victor cannot explain what happen and neither can we. The check was never cashed and they did not get a receipt. The individual
is requesting the return of the $17.00 late fee. Supervisor Ingalsbe stated that they have been a customer for years. Town Clerk
Finley stated a lot of people have been customers for year but it’s their call. Supervisor Ingalsbe stated it’s the board’s call.

WHEREAS, on January 14, 2016, the billing address for 60 Coachlight Circle was requested to be changed to 228 Rustic Street,

Superintendent to waive the late fee due to an administrative error, and
FURTHER RESOLVED, that copies of this resolution be submitted by the Town Clerk to the Principal Account Clerk and the

Discussion: Supervisor Ingalsbe believed this was an administrative error on our end. He added that on January 14, 2016,
someone called the office and changed the billing address to a place in Rochester and when the owner received the warning letter
he called the office stating he doesn’t know anyone at the Rochester address and didn’t write that address on the bill. After
discussions on how many bills were sent to the Rochester address before this issue it was stated this change was made in January
2015 not January 2016 so several were sent and paid on time before this incident. Supervisor Ingalsbe called for a roll call vote.
All Voting “Nay” (Ingalsbe, Casale, Holtz, Herendeen, and Bowerman), the Resolution was DEFEATED.

PUBLIC HEARINGS: Northbrook Commons Lighting District
Supervisor Ingalsbe opened the public hearing at 7:00 p.m. The Clerk read the legal notice. Supervisor Ingalsbe asked if anyone
would like to speak for or against the proposed dissolution of the Northbrook lighting district. Supervisor Ingalsbe gave a brief
history by stating that they as a younger board did not realize there was even a lighting district on Redfern Drive, Wood Drive,
and Running Brook. He added that the way they discovered it was there was because the developer wants to develop the
townhome project on Redfern Drive and when he went to the county to register for it he was told there was already a lighting
district there. The Town then went back and researched it, there are no monies allocated for this district, there are no poles in this
district, there are no assets in this district. He added that it does show up for the taxpayers in that district but it has always been
zeros. After the public hearing, there will be a resolution deleting this lighting district from our books. A woman from the
audience asked if it was the new section that townhomes will be built on, Supervisor Ingalsbe replied yes but that is a lighting
district they approved because of that project and in order to file at the County they first had to eliminate the existing one.
Supervisor Ingalsbe stated that this lighting district is not part of the Farmbrook Lighting district. With no further comments, the
Supervisor closed the public hearing at 7:08 p.m.

The group went through the current service areas on a map, anticipated future flows to the WWTP, and financial
projections.
The WWTP was originally constructed in late 1960s and the last major upgrade was in 2005 (upgrades were paid
through sewer rents collected).
Review of the WWTP found:
2 primary clarifiers need repairs.
Digester 1 is out of service.
SCADA system needs upgrades.
DEC decided that the plant needs disinfectant added.
Operations and Maintenance costs were reviewed and considered in this plan. They looked at existing debt service
along with existing operating budget plus routine equipment was given a 3% inflation factor putting the projected
cost in 2025 at $4,577,000.00.
They reviewed the pumpstations and collection systems.
Collection System was done is the 1960s as well. They went over the concerns, sewer backup issues and basement
floodings, grease and root problems as well. The system suffers from problems due to age.

PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR: Charles Bowe – Eagle Scout Project
Master Bowe is making retirement flag boxes as his Eagle Scout project so people can put their old flags in the box and then the
flags are properly taken care of. He would like to place one box at the town hall entrance way and at the Court Office. The box
would be about 3 feet tall. He would also like to place a bench in the entrance way. The estimated cost of the project is $2,000
in which he will do fundraising such as can and bottle drives. Supervisor Ingalsbe stated that town hall is in the process of being
expanded and renovated and added that there will be an overhang in which a bench could go under it. Supervisor Ingalsbe will
check with the Judges to make sure there is no conflict with placing a box at the court office. Councilman Holtz suggested the
Highway Department if the Court Office could not be used. Councilman Bowerman asked who would be responsible for taking
the old flags and properly destroying them, Master Bowe replied the Vietnam Vet group in either Farmington or Canandiagua
would do it. Supervisor Ingalsbe told Master Bowe to get with him to go over location and timing of placement due to the
renovation project.
Donna Herendeen – Fundraiser at the Town Park this Saturday to benefit the Veterans Memorial. She added that the Legacy
received a purple heart that belonged to a man who was in the Vietnam War that died in service and at the time he had a seven
month old son. The Legacy found the son and they will present him with his father’s purple heart at the event.
PUBLIC CONCERNS: Christopher Parks – 1691 Lilly Brook
Asked if there will be an announcement on the update of the bridge in Beaver Creek. Supervisor Ingalsbe stated that a letter from

to July 28th and they came to an agreement and the attorney stated he would put everything in writing to them, in which he did.

and Herendeen). Carried.
PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR:
Several residents appeared requesting water on Yellow Mills Road. Richard Walton (977 Yellow Mills Road) along with several
others that appeared before the Board want to know when they will get town water. He stated that some wells have gone dry or
the wells have gone so low that they are not dependable. He added that a lot of them are buying water to clean with, to cook
with, and to drink. He stated that he has paid $500 a year to buy water for their house. He stated that his well isn’t really good
enough to use for anything except for bathing and flushing the toilet. He felt there were others there that are in the same position
that he is in. Mr. Walton added that this request has come in before and he was one of the original members that submitted a
petition about 10-12 years ago and roughly 3 years ago the subject was brought up again at the Comprehensive Plan Update. He
felt that most of them are being blown off because some people feel they live in a part of the town that is not populated enough to
warrant them having water.
Bernice Goodell (901 Yellow Mills Road) stated that she came to the Board 3 years ago with the same complaint and was told to
have the water tested and they can have the water tested but if they drink from it then why test it. She has a concern with all the
upgrades the Town wants to do for Farmington and doesn’t know how they can justify that knowing that there are people who
have to buy water, who keep running out of water, and their water is not good enough to drink. Supervisor Ingalsbe stated he
will explain that after they hear from a few people.
Denny Shaw (4570 Herendeen Road) stated that this is the second time his well has gone dry, first one about 10 years ago. He
stated that he spoke with someone from down stairs who said there would be grant proposals out to have water within 5 years.
He added that he doesn’t like to take showers out of a stock tank in the back of his house. He stated that its 2016 and they are a
suburb of Rochester and they don’t have water. Mrs. Dennis stated that when they moved to Farmington in 2003 they considered
getting a new well done and they were told not to bother cause county water was coming and here they are now 13 years later and
no water.
Mary Ann Neilson (950 Yellow Mills Road) stated she has water trucked into her house at $80 a load and she gets a load every
week plus she buys water to drink. She said if you add is up over the 53 years she’s lived that it’s quite a bit of money. She’s
pretty sure it would be cheaper for her if they had water there. She brought a sample of the water that comes out of her well so
the board can see what they live with there. She added that she washes the clothes at the laundry mat. She added that they guy
she has now to truck in water is no longer going to be able to do it so now she has to go out further and it will cost her between
$100-$150 per week to have water trucked in. Councilman Casale stated that when they built their house 15 years ago they were
told water was coming to his area and it never happened.
Supervisor Ingalsbe stated that the grant process has changed over the years and are tougher to get because it is so competitive.
He stated that next Wednesday they have a public information meeting regarding the water project on New Michigan Road and
then following that there will be an actual public hearing on creating that water district. He stated that process is similar to theirs
but less expensive due to the development of Monarch Manor because they were able to get incentives during the planning
process to include waterline to be put in by the developer. He added that there is very little cost to the town. He stated that
unfortunately it doesn’t happen on the eastside of town.
Mr. Shaw stated that as he drives around the country side he sees fire hydrants, and there are houses all around so he doesn’t
understand why Supervisor Ingalsbe said that they are not developed enough. Supervisor Ingalsbe stated that there is a rule of a
fire hydrant every 500 feet. Supervisor Ingalsbe stated that back when a lot of the water was put in on the east side of town, east
of County Road 8, it was it cheaper and there was financing available. He added that the people out there are still paying a 20-25
year loan which is part of their tax bill. Mr. Shaw stated that a lot of them are already spending a lot out of money out of their
pocketbooks anyway, and asked if the board can get anyone out there to see what the cost would be to get water out there.
Councilman Casale stated that once they get the petition they can have the engineers go out there and figure out what the cost
would be to each property owner. He added that they did this about 8 or 9 years ago on Wiegert Road and it was going to cost
about $1,200 per household per year just to cover the 25 year note and everyone walked away from it. Councilman Casale added
that because they are already spending that amount maybe they wouldn’t mind spending that amount per year, including himself.
He encourages them to get the petition signed and see what the cost it then decide.
Bill Davis from MRB Group, the Towns Engineer, stated that they have water all around them and a preliminary look at density,
which is an issue when it comes to the cost. He suggested to the Board that they look at just Yellow Mills to Herendeen Road
and get a ballpark figure, then get the signatures for the petition that we they have a ballpark figure of the cost whether it be
$1000, $2000, $3000. He added that if it high they will have to deal with the NYS Comptrollers compatible thresholds then they
will need approvals and they will need the support to put the plan in action. Councilman Bowerman asked what percentage of
landowners need to agree to move forward. Supervisor Ingalsbe stated that the way it works is there two categories, landowners
and then residents, and it has to be at least 51% for both categories. Mr. Brand, the Towns Director of Planning and
Development, stated that they are prominently in an agricultural district and because of this the ability to assess for those
improvements is severely limited by Ag and Markets; it’s not based on a frontage basis, it’s based on a unit basis. He added that
even though they may have several hundred feet of frontage that is being actively farmed that farmer isn’t going to be assessed
for the same as they would be as residential property owners. He stated that another factor they have is to go over what the NYS
Comptroller has set as the limits for establishing these improvement districts. He added that the third factor is something
Governor Patterson enacted the public infrastructure policy act and if you’re in an agricultural district and you want any kind of
grant funding to extend water lines it’s not going to happen, he added that it hasn’t happened in many years. Mr. Walton asked to
explain how Fox Road got water and they are in an Ag district. He added that three years ago, a presentative from Ag and
Markets stated that there had to be three criteria’s to be met they would overlook it. Mr. Brand stated that he isn’t saying it isn’t
possible, he is just trying to paint them an honest picture because
TOWN BOARD MEETING AUGUST 23, 2016
there are a lot of things they will have to demonstrate, and they will need to submit copies of their bills paying for water, need
records from the health department that they have a contaminated water system.
Mr. Walton spoke with Jim Crane and Dave Degear and they both concur there is hardship conditions a lot of that criteria is
overlooked in some cases. He feels they are in hardship condition. Mr. Brand stated that he has no doubt they’re in a hardship
condition but what he is saying is that they are going to have to show the facts to the State. He added they are willing to do it if
they are willing to provide that type of information. He stated that they are willing to back them on this but they need their help
too. Mr. Walton stated that right now their lives are an uphill battle. Mrs. Dennis stated that if this is the only path to get water
they are willing to do the work. She volunteered to work on it.
Mr. Brand stated that there are regulations put on them and they will do their best to get around them the best they can. He added
they will need to show evidence this condition exists.
Pat Murphy (4995 Rushmore Road) stated that people are in such a bine, if some people in that area didn’t have really good jobs
they wouldn’t be able to afford to buy water. He added that in other towns when they put in a waterline the whole water district
absorbs it, Supervisor Ingalsbe and Councilman Casale replied that was not true. Mr. Murphy stated that the town put water
through Wes Payne’s property and then he moved to North Carolina. He added that there are ways and they need to do
something different. Mr. Murphy asked Mr. Degear how much it cost the town to put in the little spur on Wiborn Road, Degear
replied about $10,000. Mr. Murphy asked what was the residents cost, Degear replied they paid $1,900 connection fee. Mr.
Murphy stated that in his case he does not need water, he can’t drink it but can use it.
Supervisor Ingalsbe stated that he would need to talk with the Town Attorney on the steps needed to form a district. A lady
stated that she doesn’t want to be disrespectful but when it comes election time they vote for them because they feel they are
going to do the best job, she feels they shouldn’t have to do all the fighting, she feels they voted for them and it’s their job to go
to bat for them. Supervisor Ingalsbe stated that they are not turning anyone down. Councilman Casale stated that when this was
brought to the people before they walked away from it, so they will get the ball rolling and move forward with it now. He added
that the board is not against it.
Mr. Shaw stated that their assessment keeps going up and if he tried selling his house today his assessment better be zero cause
he’s not going to be to sell a house with no water. Donna LaPlant, the Town Assessor, stated that she does have sales of houses
with non-public water that he can come in and look at and that is not a zero type of thing. Councilman Bowerman stated that they
can do everything they can as a town but their hands might be tied by state legislation. He added that it will be up to the State if
they will grant them to go beyond the threshold.
Supervisor Ingalsbe stated that they should start with Yellow Mills Road first because the other roads have a greater span of
property with no homes. He added to get the amount of people that would be interested, have the engineers crunch the numbers,
and need to figure out where they would hook up either Manchester or at Fox Road. They have to look at the amount of dollars
for the pipeline. He added that this process could take months. The Town Engineer, Bill Davis, that first they need to look at
potential to run a district from Yellow Mills Road to Herendeen Road, determine the general cost, get feedback back from
property owners. They will need to look at the environmental impacts. Tim Mickelsen, resident, asked if there was a way to do a
202b with the looping that is being suggested. Supervisor Ingalsbe stating they would have to run it by the Department of Health.
The Board was asked if there was a filling station to obtain water if they bought a tank. Degear responded not as this time but it
is doable and at one point there was discussion to place it at the Highway Department. Supervisor Ingalsbe stated that they could
look at the as a short term fix. He added that the water fund balance has been going down over the years due waterbreaks and
replacement of pipes.
Pat Murphy suggested the Board juggle money around. He understands we need parks and recreation areas but they are all over
in the west and south Farmington and they pay the same taxes. He stated that money should be governed by the general fund and
need to run it like a business. Supervisor Ingalsbe stated that they are running it like a business but they have to follow the law.
Supervisor Ingalsbe stated that the money to run the parks comes from the general fund because all the residents can use them,
but lighting districts in Auburn Meadows, Beaver Creek Estates, Sunny Acres, and Farmbrook are paid by the people who live in
that district. He added that by law they cannot take money from the General Fund and give it to the Water Fund and vice versa.
They have to be careful on how they use the money but also use it wisely. He added that taxes have not been raised in 4 or 5
years, yes the assessments have gone up and school tax bill goes up, and the county tax bill goes up.
Mr. Murphy asked if they could take money from water bills and use it expand a waterline. Councilman Casale stated because
there districts and the people in those districts pay for it, if you don’t live in that district, you’re not paying that bill. Supervisor
Ingalsbe stated that there are three fire districts and we are served by them and depending on where you live appears on your tax
bill. Supervisor Ingalsbe stated that there are two water towers that need repairs that will cost of 8 to 9 million dollars and they
don’t have that in the water fund. A lady stated that is was very hard to hear that the Boards priority is to repair things for people
who have already had water for over 40 years. Supervisor Ingalsbe stated that they will get a petition drafted for them to get
signed and he will be in touch with them.

in the morning. They were disruptive to the neighborhood, compared the noise to a CMAC concert. He stated that
he admires the work that the owners, Mr. Best, has done to the property but he cannot understand why he did not get
the necessary permits to do what he had to do or the zoning to do what he had to do, nor did he check with anyone
else in the neighborhood to see if anyone had any concerns in doing what he did. He added that the project only
benefits one person, Mr. Best. He added that in addition to the intense noise, there are safety concerns like the
serving of alcohol and driving. He felt is doesn’t fit the residential neighborhood. He stated that he had heard that
the property owners were seeking a temporary permit for an October event. If feels if this is granted that Mr. Best
will be rewarded for breaking the rules and he does not feel that is right. He asked the Board to restrain from issuing
any permits.
Edward Mack, 6164 Brownsville Road, stated he felt the same way as Mr. Allen. He added that he has a young boy
and four grandchildren that wander the yard and his concern is with the amount of traffic. He stated that the event
started at 4 p.m. and once his yard was full of cars they started parking around the corner and parked at Cobblestone
and were bussed to the property. Not only it was it loud with traffic but just the people alone made it loud.
Councilman Casale asked what date they were talking about, he replied August 26. Councilman Casale asked if this
was the first event, Mr. Mack replied that there have been smaller events.
Pamela Allen, 6250 Brownsville Road, agreed with what Mr. Allen and Mr. Mack had to say. She stated that she
had heard that Mr. Best was told that he did not need a permit and if they were erroneous told that then whoever it
was needs to corroborate his story in order for him to possibly get a special permit. She added that on the incident
of August 26 the police were there 3 different times as well as the ambulance once. She added that when Mr. Best
was asked about a permit, he did not stated that he did not need one and they were on file at the Town Hall. She
stated that he got a permit in 2009 for a pool deck so he is aware permits are required.
Jim Morse, Code Enforcement Officer, stated that they were notified the day after of the event, met with a few
residents on Monday that provided him with at least six or seven complaints. He added that a website was also
brought to their attention and a letter was sent to Mr. Best telling him to contact the Town immediately and to cease
and desist any functions or events. He stated that an agent of Mr. Best’s contacted him inquiring about what it
would entail to get the permits, Mr. Morse explained the process to him and stated they would need to come in and
get the packet of information. The agent picked the packet up on Friday. The agent was advised that they would
need to come in for a special use permit. Mr. Morse stated that he received a call from a Julie stating that they had
an event scheduled for October 8th and inquired about getting a Special Event Operating Permit which would be just
for the one event only. He added that Julie stated that what happen on August 26 would not happen again. Mr.
Brand went over the planning process. He stated that this is a major home occupation and that requires the issuance
of a special use permit from the Planning Board. He added that this application would also require a public hearing.
Supervisor Ingalsbe asked if the paperwork was turned in so it could be placed on the agenda for the first meeting in
October, Mr. Brand replied yes. He stated that once all the information is received they will get back to the
Planning Board on what conditions would be applicable if they want to grant the permit.
Mr. Morse stated that he advised the agent for Mr. Best about the serving of alcohol and food and the agent told him
they hire caterers and they are the ones who hold the liquor license. The people who are holding the event hire their
own caterers. He expressed their concerns to the agent regarding food and liquor licenses and that information
would need to be provided to the town.
TOWN BOARD MEETING SEPTEMBER 14, 2016
Mrs. Allen stated that the purpose of a permit is to say that everything has been inspected and is safe of public use.
She added that Mr. Best bypassed that process and should someone would have been hurt asked who would be
liable. Mr. Brand replied Mr. Best would be responsible. Mr. Brand added that if they town signs off there will be
series of conditions listed on the Special Use Permit. Supervisor Ingalsbe asked the Code Enforcement Officer if
conditions can be issued on a special event operating permit, Mr. Morse replied yes and they also do an inspection
that is included in the fee. Councilman Bowerman asked when the cease and desist letter was sent because there
were photo shoots being done at the property, Mr. Morse replied he sent it last week. Councilman Bowerman asked
if the driveway he put in through the drainage ditch was allowed, Highway Superintendent, Don Giroux, replied that
no permits were issued by the town and that it will need to be removed and they will need to follow the protocol to
put one back. He added that there is a lot of factors they will need to look into. Supervisor Ingalsbe asked the Code
Enforcement Officer what other areas have special operating permit events, Mr. Morse replied that there was the
festivals on Collett Road and Racinos food truck rodeos and concerts. He added that there was an employee party
off of Cline Road as well. Mr. Morse also stated that if fireworks or bonfires are involved they contact the fire
department and the sheriff’s department to make them aware.
Emily McCaffery, 5789 Oatfield Drive, asked if there was a noise ordinance, Supervisor Ingalsbe replied no there
was not due to being hard to enforce. Councilman Bowerman stated it is difficult because they do not have a
decimal reader in the sheriff’s vehicles.
PUBLIC CONCERNS: Francine Barnard, 1253 Holland Drive, asked the board why there was no place to walk
her two dogs. Supervisor Ingalsbe stated that she can walk her dogs on the Auburn Trail located on Mertensia Road.

PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR:
PUBLIC CONCERNS: BROWNSVILLE ROAD CONCERNS
Pam Allen, 6250 Brownsville Road, inquired on the status of the special use permit for Ponds Edge. Code Enforcement Officer
stated that they had withdrawn their application at this time. Supervisor Ingalsbe stated that they had written a couple of letters to
Mr. Best and for their application they were looking for a long term business opportunity and that’s the reason they had to come
to the town and they do not have that application now. Mrs. Allen asked if the wedding on the 8th is not an option at this point.
Code Enforcement Officer replied that he was not sure, they just know the application was withdrawn at the applicant’s request.
Supervisor Ingalsbe stated that they had talked with both our lawyer and their lawyer. He added that the wedding coming up on
the 8th is a claimed family run wedding where there are no charges or income to Mr. Best for having it as home. He referred to it
as any one of them having a party in our backyards and the town has no grounds to stop it.
Mrs. Allen made reference to a webpage/facebook page Mr. Best has, where someone asks how big of a tent can he
accommodate and he replied that a 40 x 80 can hold 220-240 people and that rates depend on event venue mostly ceremonial
weddings, have five birthdays booked and it looks promising. She added that someone else commented on a post about the work
that was done and it was replied that it may never get done as the land gets bigger there is more room to build things. She added
that the board should see why they are concerned. Supervisor Ingalsbe stated that all he can say is that they are not aware of any
events passed October 8th and that it is a family run event and there is nothing they can do unless they can prove he was paid for
the event. Mrs. Allen asked if a permit is required for the tent. Supervisor Ingalsbe responded no and that he believes it has to a
special event before they get into that. Code Enforcement Officer stated they no not issue permits for tents for graduation parties,
weddings or anything. Mrs. Allen asked if RG&E would need to survey for lines. Code Enforcement Officer replied that he
hasn’t heard of that. Mrs. Allen asked what the status was for the driveway. Highway Superintendent replied that they were
given a letter to comply with a permit and a permit has been filed and at this point is in limbo right now. Code Enforcement
Officer stated that there is a meeting on October 19th with the Planning Board for the home occupation. Highway Superintendent
added that the permit is for a horse shoe driveway for personal use and not incorporated into the home occupation application.
Mrs. Allen also mentioned that the applicant is also advertising park lot available and is posting pictures of it. Highway
Superintendent stated that will be covered at the meeting on the 19th.

PUBLIC HEARINGS:
2017 Preliminary Budget: Supervisor Ingalsbe opened the public hearing at 7:00 p.m. The Clerk read the legal notice. Supervisor Ingalsbe asked if anyone
would like to speak for or against the proposed preliminary budget. Hearing none, Supervisor Ingalsbe closed the public hearing
at 7:03 p.m.

Proposed Local Law Establishing a Moratorium on Solar Collection Systems and Solar Farms:
Supervisor Ingalsbe opened the public hearing at 7:03 p.m. The Clerk read the legal notice. Supervisor Ingalsbe asked if anyone
would like to speak for or against the proposed local law. Walt Peshkey, 6349 Cedar Creek Way, stated that he has been in the
solar business for 30 years and currently has systems at the Town of Walworth, Town of Ontario and the Avon Central School
District, and two that are going up in the Town of Canandaigua. He added that he wasn’t aware until today that what the board is
considering is to get rid of the tax incentives. He stated that he is against the board doing that. He stated that a lot of people have
asked about solar especially not for profit groups. He stresses for the board to be careful what they approve. He stated that there
are also pluses to having solar 9 i.e. Town of Canandaigua’s old landfill couldn’t be used for anything and now a solar systems
sits there that will help the town and its residents.
Supervisor Ingalsbe stated that they are not approving anything tonight. He added that the proposed local law will be sent to the
Ontario County Planning Board for their review and response. He added that the public hearing will remain open and they will
discuss again at their November 22nd meeting. He added that the moratorium might be only 3 months until they get some rules in
place because at the moment we have nothing in the town code.
Councilman Bowerman that stated the town received information from a company that sent out information to land owners
wanting to lease their land and build these giant solar farms and they don’t have anything in their code or zoning to address the
situation. He added that the moratorium would give them a chance to look at it more closely.
Mr.Peshkey offered his assistance if the board had any questions. Supervisor Ingalsbe stated that the public hearing will remain
open until November 22 and advised Mr. Peshkey to submit more information.
Public Hearing remains open.
Proposed Local Law to provide that the exemptions for solar or wind energy systems and for farm waste
energy systems pursuant to Real Property Tax Law Section 487 shall not be applicable within the Town of
Farmington
Supervisor Ingalsbe opened the public hearing at 7:14 p.m. The Clerk read the legal notice. Supervisor Ingalsbe asked if anyone
would like to speak for or against the proposed local law. Supervisor Ingalsbe stated that this local law is only applicable to the
town portion for exemption. Mr. Peshkey stated that he has seen in the past where that has hurt towns and villages, the
percentage of payback analysis is so bad that people will choose not to invest. Councilman Bowerman stated that the town tax
rate is such a small part of the property tax assessment that is the margin so thin on that investment. Supervisor Ingalsbe added

PUBLIC HEARINGS:
2017 Fire Contract (Farmington):
Supervisor Ingalsbe opened the Public Hearing at 7:00 p.m. The Clerk read the legal notice. Supervisor Ingalsbe asked if anyone
would like to speak for or against the proposed contract. Hearing none, the public hearing was closed at 7:02 p.m.
A Local Law Repealing the Town of Farmington Employee Handbook:
Supervisor Ingalsbe opened the Public Hearing at 7:02 p.m. The Clerk read the legal notice. Supervisor Ingalsbe asked if anyone
would like to speak for or against the proposed local law. Gerry Bowerman clarified information from a previous staff meeting
regarding this change from a notification of public referendum to changes being made by resolution. He added that it is his
understanding that employees will be notified of any changes and will be able to speak on any resolution pertaining to any
changes. Supervisor Ingalsbe stated all that they are doing is bringing it out of the Town Code and any changes will still be on
the town agendas and anybody can ask questions of the Board. Supervisor Ingalsbe stated that at the staff meeting there were
several requests to receive a two week notice when any changes will be made to the Employee Handbook. He added that if the
notice was only given with seven days’ notice then the board could only discuss the resolution and not take action until the
following board meeting to meet the two week notification request. Mr. Bowerman stated that the way it is now only employees
that are residents of the town can speak, Supervisor Ingalsbe replied that is like a boiler plate but they accept anyone’s input. He
gave an example when Beaver Creek West then changed to Monarch Manor came before the board they had Canandaigua
residents speaking their opinions. Councilman Holtz added that at the beginning of every board meeting there is an opportunity
for anyone to speak to the board. Mr. Bowerman stated that if they could get notified when changes will occur to avoid rumors
because the way it sounded in the newspaper was that they were doing away with the handbook. Mr. Bowerman asked if an
updated handbook will be passed out because the other hasn’t been updated in 13 years. Supervisor Ingalsbe stated that nothing
has changed except of Local Law No. 4 of 2011, which he mentioned at the staff meeting last Friday, which all that local law did
was add another bullet point for classification when employees were hire after 2012. Supervisor Ingalsbe stated that what they
were thinking of doing tonight with the new changes was putting into a pdf file and emailing to any employee that wanted it. He
added that the Department Heads will always have an updated copy to refer to.
Kevin Fleig asked why the Employee Handbook placed in the Code Book to begin with because to him it was so the employees
could have a sense of security. Supervisor Ingalsbe replied that he cannot answer why back in 1998 that board did that but he
knows one was for the employees concerns and protection and secondly he thinks the town board back then thought it would
protect them as well from a union coming in. Supervisor Ingalsbe stated that the board thinks by taking it out of the code they
will be saving the town money because everytime they make a change to the code it costs hundreds of dollars. He added that the
Employee Handbook should be updated yearly or at least every two years. He added that tonight is only a minor change and he
will get to that later. Supervisor Ingalsbe stated that the resolution does state that the employees will be given a two week notice
when a change will occur. Kevin Fleig stated that the reason he came to the meeting was because he plans on having a long
career with the town and he expects to see many changes during that time and that’s why he is concerned. Councilman Casale
stated that it’s not that much of a change, this way allows them to facilitate it faster and less costly and the employee can still
express their concerns if any.
Supervisor Ingalsbe closed the public hearing at 7:13 p.m.

Local Law No. 5of the year 2016
A local law "Establishing a Moratorium on Solar Collection Systems and Solar Farms"
Be it enacted by the Town Board of the Town of Farmington
Section 1.STATEMENT OF LEGISLATIVE INTENT:
It is the purpose of this moratorium to enable the Town of Farmington to have sufficient time to review existing laws pertaining
to solar collection systems or solar farms and to recommend modifications to those laws or new laws regarding such operations.
This review is in accordance with the Town of Farmington Comprehensive Plan.
Changes to such laws would permit a well-organized and easily understood code, achieve the objectives of the Comprehensive
Plan and encourage consistent and fair application of laws pertaining to such operations. In regard to the environment, such
review and possible modifications are felt necessary to permit for careful development that would allow for continued economic
development while assuring that such development is compatible with the community and competing land uses.
The Town Board is concerned that approval of expansions to existing such operations or approval of new such operations, under
the existing laws, could negatively impact the value and appearance of the neighborhoods in which they would be situate and of
the Town as a whole.
It is, therefore, the intent of the Town Board to suspend the approval of all expansions to existing such operations and approval of
new such operations. This will afford the Town sufficient time to draft amendments to the Town’s Zoning Code.
Based on the foregoing, the Town Board wants to ensure that any such expansions to existing such operations or approval of new
such operations are reviewed under the new regulations and not under the existing laws.
Section 2.DEFINITIONS

PUBLIC HEARINGS: Rezoning of a 15.5 acre parcel of land located on State Route 332- opposite Farmbrook
Drive (Tax Map #41.00-1-36.210) from GB General Business to IZ Incentive Zoning
Supervisor Ingalsbe opened the public hearing at 7:00 p.m. The Clerk read the legal notice.
Paul Colucci (DiMarco Group-a Rochester based developer) representing Mike Cerrone stated he would run briefly through their
application requesting to rezoning a parcel of land from General Business to Incentive Zoning. The property is located on State
Route 332 just opposite of Farmbrook Drive. He stated that they stated the process to rezoning the 15.5 acre parcel back in July
and at that time it seemed very attractive to the Town Board, they have had several meetings with town staff. He added that the
board referred it to the Planning Board for review and recommendations and in November that report was published by the
Planning Board back to the Town Board with a positive recommendation. They have also went to Ontario County Planning
Board and they voted unanimously to recommend approval of this project. They are requesting a rezoning from General
Business (GB) to Incentive Zoning (IZ). He added that the incentive zoning process requires and allows them to ask for certain
relief under the current zoning of General Business and as a trade they offer certain amenities to the town. He added that in this
case, General Business is a pretty liberal zoning but the uses Mr. Cerrone is proposing are not allowed specifically as permitted
uses under the code, they are proposing mini storages as standalone product, which the code requires mini storage to have an
attached retail use on each mini storage building. They are also asking for relief on setbacks, they have encroached under the
incentive zoning plan into the setback off of Route 332 where a 100 feet is required by code, they have shown a setback of 75
feet. In addition to that, they are also looking for another flexibility in use of outdoor storage which is not under general business
so they are asking for outdoor storage such as trailers, RV’s, and campers. He added that the area will be screened by the
vegetated buffer that will remain, bordering the Auburn Trail. He stated that in trying to keep with the spirit of the code, they put
the retail uses up along the right of way so they have two pad lots then a strip building that would be developed in a matter of
multi con building then they have the mini storage uses behind that. They are also looking to have two climate controlled storage
under the code he believes is listed as warehouses. They have proposed a town dedicated road that would come into the site.
Proposed amenities: town dedicated road, sidewalks that run along the right of way, 12” watermain that would connect the
pressure zones, and either donate or give an easement to the town for trail parking for the Auburn Trail.
Supervisor Ingalsbe stated that they discussed the linkage to the Cobblestone property, Mr. Colucci agreed. He added that there
will be a connection to a signalized traffic light. Supervisor Ingalsbe asked what they pre-see as phasing, Mr. Colucci replied
building the town dedicated road, signal improvements, connection to where the town will be delivering the road, the stormwater
infrastructure, the infrastructure for the whole site, to construct one of the climate control buildings, and watermain
improvements. He referred to an area on the map that will be marketed as retail uses, the pad lots will probably be more national
than regional. Will not construct until they have enough leasing interest availability. Supervisor Ingalsbe asked if the applicant
is actively seeking clients and Mr. Colucci replied yes plus there is a sign on the property now and believes they won’t have any
issue leasing the pad lots.
Supervisor Ingalsbe stated that regarding the land swaps, they will go to the town attorney with it, and they would prefer to have
all the land signed over to the town then the town turns around and give back. He believes the process will go smoother that way.
Mr. Colucci stated that was something that was talked about at one of the workshops they had and they are comfortable working
through those type of things.
Ron Brand, Director of Development and Planning, stated that this process has evolved over time with input from town staff and
Comprehensive Plan recommendations as well as the MTOD recommendations. He added that the amenities the town will
receive are significant compared to the fact that they are looking at improving the overall fire flow ratings along Route 332 by
connecting from Auburn Meadows out to and across linking a loop for a larger transmission main, this meet a fire flow need that
the town desperately needs. He added that this would also provide a means of access for what will be approximately 600 homes
in Auburn Meadows and Estates at Beaver Creek plus another 185 if they choose to go that route and come out to a signalized
intersection. He added that the applicants have done their homework and went to the State DOT with a traffic study, received a
one page reply back with positive comments.
Mr. Brand stated that the next step in the process is to create a detailed list of zoning criteria affects the site and the development
of the site such as setback and property lines, to the height of buildings, to lot coverages, and so on. He believes this project will
set as an example of what incentive will carry on in the town. After this step, then a Local Law to be adopted with conditions of
approval, SEQR requirements, site plan approvals, and so on. Don Giroux, Highway and Parks Superintendent, asked for
clarification on the endpoint of the proposed road, just north to Ivory Drive, would that “T” into it. Mr. Colucci stated that would
look into that. Mr. Colucci showed drawings of what the storage building would look like.
With no further comments at this time, Supervisor Ingalsbe kept the public hearing open.
