evaluation report includes research from the Electrification Capacity online resource and a site visit for observation of existing feeds. The GCE report is provided in Appendix C. Per NYSEG protocol, “Will Serve” letters cannot be provided until the project has an official address as issued by the local 911 department. Thus, until the project is further along a letter cannot be obtained. Refer to Appendix C for the GCE prepared by Labella Associates (Anthony Sanganetti, P.E.). Appendix D - DOT - Connecting Sidewalk on Clinton Steet Labella and Home Leasing met with the New York State Department of Transportation, Region 5 staff on 8/6/2024 to discuss the possibility of adding a sidewalk to Clinton Street to help connect the proposed project to the retail areas to the west. The meeting was held with Casey Gordon, Ronald Frei and Carl Calarco of the DOT. Labella provided a conceptual sketch to the DOT of a sidewalk from the proposed development connecting the shoulder of Clinton Street (included in Appendix E). At this time the DOT does not intend to upgrade/widen the road shoulder and/or bridge over Cayuga Creek or allow modification to the guardrail. The DOT does not object to the routing shown in blue (sidewalk in ROW, up to existing guardrail) on the above-mentioned sketch and as shown on the revised conceptual plan (Appendix D). Email correspondence confirming the DOT position via Casey Gordon, Transportation Analyst is provided in Appendix D. The sidewalk connection was not updated as a part of this resubmission. Connectivity along the new driveway to Clinton Street remains unchanged from the original layout/plans presented to DOT staff. Appendix E - Communication with Seneca Nation – (SHPO No Effect Letter) As previously shared with the town, Home Leasing has received a No Effect Letter from SHPO on 9/15/2023. As a part of the SHPO review process the NYS staff reached out to the local Native American tribes, with no comments/objections received. Additionally Home Leasing also reached out to local tribes as a part of the SHPO and geoarchaeological studies, with no comments/objects received. Prior to receiving the No Effect Letter, Home Leasing contracted out geoarchaeological studies as requested by SHPO, completing a Phase 1, Phase 1a and Phase 1b study and “Site Avoidance Plan”. Home Leasing will avoid all development in sensitive areas, avoid disturbance within the buffer zones and strictly follow the site avoidance plan as referenced and approved by SHPO and as provided by Deuel Archaeology & CRM (Jeremy Deuel, M.A.). Included in Appendix E is a copy of the SHPO No Effect Letter and a copy of the Site Avoidance Plan (appendix E of the Phase 1b report). Appendix F - Correspondence with West Seneca Schools Home Leasing met with the Superintendent of the West Seneca School District (Dr. Lisa Krueger) on 10/22/2024. The school district is very supportive of the proposed project and will welcome any students that live in the proposed development into the district, whether they are existing or new students. 5 Page 10 of 110
