7 Full Environmental Assessment Form Part 3 - Evaluation of the Magnitude and Importance of Project Impacts and Determination of Significance Part 3 provides the reasons in support of the determination of significance. The lead agency must complete Part 3 for every question in Part 2 where the impact has been identified as potentially moderate to large or where there is a need to explain why a particular element of the proposed action will not, or may, result in a significant adverse environmental impact. Based on the analysis in Part 3, the lead agency must decide whether to require an environmental impact statement to further assess the proposed action or whether available information is sufficient for the lead agency to conclude that the proposed action will not have a significant adverse environmental impact. By completing the certification on the next page, the lead agency can complete its determination of significance. Reasons Supporting This Determination: To complete this section: Identify the impact based on the Part 2 responses and describe its magnitude. Magnitude considers factors such as severity, size or extent of an impact. Assess the importance of the impact. Importance relates to the geographic scope, duration, probability of the impact occurring, number of people affected by the impact and any additional environmental consequences if the impact were to occur. The assessment should take into consideration any design element or project changes. Repeat this process for each Part 2 question where the impact has been identified as potentially moderate to large or where there is a need to explain why a particular element of the proposed action will not, or may, result in a significant adverse environmental impact. Provide the reason(s) why the impact may, or will not, result in a significant adverse environmental impact For Conditional Negative Declarations identify the specific condition(s) imposed that will modify the proposed action so that no significant adverse environmental impacts will result. Attach additional sheets, as needed.

Based upon the additional information provided on these two elements of the environment, the Planning Board has determined that they have completed a thorough review of the anticipated impacts associated with this project. In addition, based upon the criteria for determining significance set forth in Part of the State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) Regulations, the Planning Board has, under separate resolution which is hereby made a part of the environmental record, made determination of non-significance upon this Action. The Planning Board s determination is conditioned upon the applicant s obtaining area variances from the Town Zoning Board of Appeals, preliminary subdivision plat approval, site plan approval and two special use permits from the Planning Board which will result in amendments being made to the preliminary plan drawings currently under review.
