1.0 Introduction

This Scoping Outline is intended to serve as the foundation for the identification of

all potentially significant adverse environmental impacts associated with the

proposed action and possible mitigation measures thereto. It is also intended to

eliminate consideration of any impacts that are irrelevant or non-significant.

2.0 Description of the Proposed Action.

The Comprehensive Plan 2020 Update will revise the Town’s current

Comprehensive Plan, which was adopted in 2009, to reflect the changes in land use

goals and priorities that have arisen over the past 10 years as the Town and region

continue to change. As was done for the 2009 Plan, this updated Plan will be

structured as a Generic Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS) as permitted by

New York State Town Law §272-a(8) and the provisions of SEQRA. The

Comprehensive Plan update will revise the current 2009 Comprehensive Plan

document, and thus remain structured around the seven topic chapters of Economic

Development; Environmental Resources; Health, Safety & Welfare; Historic &

Cultural Resources; Housing; Recreation, Parks & Open Space and Transportation.

However, it is possible that as development of the updated Plan continues, new

topic chapters may be added. The goals and objectives of the currently adopted

Plan will be examined, and the update will illustrate the work that has gone into

realizing these goals, and the progress that has been made on each one so far. As

the Town receives input from the community throughout the upcoming public

participation period, some goals and objectives will be revised and/or expanded

upon, new goals will be added, and some be removed if necessary. Since the

updated plan will also be structured as a GEIS, the plan will then study the impacts

associated with the new goals and objectives, and provide suggested mitigation for

any adverse impacts foreseen.

3.0 Potential Significant Environmental Impacts

1. Impact on Land

2. Impact on Water

3. Impact on Air

4. Impact on Plants and Animals

5. Impact on Aesthetic Resources

6. Impact of Open Space and Recreation

7. Impact on Transportation

8. Impact on the Use and Conservation of Energy

9. Noise and Odor Impact
