Full Environmental Assessment Form S/ 1A
Part 2 - Identification of Potential Project Impacts
Part 2 is to be completed by the lead agency, Part 2 is designed to help the lead agency inventory all potential resources that could
be affected by a proposed project or action. We recognize that the lead agency’s reviewer(s) will not necessarily be environmental
professionals. So, the questions are designed to walk a reviewer through the assessment process by providing a series of questions that
can be answered using the information found in Part 1, To further assist the lead agency in completing Part 2, the form identifies the
most relevant questions in Part 1 that will provide the information needed to answer the Part 2 question. When Part 2 is completed, the
lead agency will have identified the relevant environmental areas that may be impacted by the proposed activity.
If the lead agency is a state agency and the action is in any Coastal Area, complete the Coastal Assessment Form before proceeding
with this assessment.
Tips for completing Part 2:
Review all of the information provided in Part 1.
Review any application, maps, supporting materials and the Full EAF Workbook.
Answer each of the 18 questions in Part 2.
eoeseee
If you answer “Yes” to a numbered question, please complete all the questions that follow in that section.
If you answer “No” to a numbered question, move on to the next numbered question.
Check appropriate column to indicate the anticipated size of the impact.
Proposed projects that would exceed a numeric threshold contained in a question should result in the reviewing agency
checking the box “Moderate to large impact may occur.”
The reviewer is not expected to be an expert in environmental analysis.
If you are not sure or undecided about the size of an impact, it may help to review the sub-questions for the general
question and consult the workbook,
When answering a question consider all components of the proposed activity, that is, the “whole action”.
Consider the possibility for long-term and cumulative impacts as well as direct impacts,
Answer the question in a reasonable manner considering the scale and context of the project.

of a
municipality’s land use plan; and
WHEREAS, as a Type I Action, the proposed adoption of the Plan is presumed to be more
likely to require the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement than an Unlisted Action,
and requires coordinated review among involved agencies; and mentees pe
WHEREAS, the Town Board is the only agency with the authority to adopt a comprehensive ©
plan for the Town of Aurora pursuant to Town Law §272-a, and is therefore the only involved
agency for this action; and

for purposes of conducting the environmental review of the proposed action in accordance with
6
NYCRR Part 617; and
WHEREAS, in compliance with the requirements of SEQRA and 6 NYCRR Patt 617, the Town
Board caused to be prepared a Full Environmental Assessment Form (“Full EAF”), Parts
1, 2,
and 3, which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference; and
WHEREAS, the Town Board has reviewed the Full EAF, the Plan and all supporting
documents, and has considered the relevant areas of environmental concera in making its
determination of significance; and
WHEREAS, the Town Board has considered the criteria for determining significance
set forth in
6 NYCRR §617.7(c); and
WHEREAS, the Town Board has taken a “hard look” at the potential environmental impacts of
the proposed action and has provided a reasoned elaboration of the basis for its determination,
as
set forth herein and in Part 3 of the Full EAF; and
WHEREAS, the Town Board finds that the proposed action is a policy-level planning document
that does not, by itself, authorize or approve any specific development, construction, or physical
activity; that each subsequent implementing action will be subject to its own site-specific
SEQRA review; and that the Plan, on balance, is designed to promote environmental protection,
resource conservation, climate resilience, and sustainable growth patterns.

February 27, 2026
To: Aurora Town Board
Aurora Municipal Center
575 Oakwood Ave.
East Aurora, NY 14052
As you may recall, last year, the Town Board supported our effort to acquire and
install a Hamlet of Griffins Mills Welcomes You sign at the west end of the hamlet on Mill
Road across from the intersection of Luther Road. In follow-up to our last year’s request to
add Welcome signage to both ends of Mill Road, the Friends of Griffins Mills requests your
support to acquire and install the 24 sign at the East entry to the Hamlet on Mill Road.
Once again, we have engaged Visual Impact to produce the 2¢ matching sign at the
same cost as the first sign, which is $1,810.
We ate asking for the Town Board’s support for this signage, and if you would be
willing to consider earmarking $1,000 from the 2026 West Falls Beautification Fund. We
will make up the balance of the cost with a check of $810 made out to the Town of Aurora.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
