Village Planner Fred Hanss claimed that thousands of new patients coming to a rezoned Canton-Potsdam Hospital -- in the middle of what is now a quiet residential neighborhood -- will not have a significant impact on the neighborhood or the environment. Oddly the Environmental Assessment Form (EAF) that contained this analysis did not mention all the non-passenger traffic needed to support this new patient load -- all additional staff, suppliers, maintenance, etc. Hanss called the increased load 8 vehicles per hour but failed to take into account peak and off-peak hours, repeat visits, back ansd forth vists, etc. The EAF does too. Even forty more vehicles per hour would create a new traffic situation for the neighborhood. The EAF talks of 15-16,000 new patients and staff (cancer clinic only) and 8 visits per hour. A key flaw is averaging -- assuming the visits occur evenly all day and all week. Oddly, although Hanss announced earlier that the hospital was performing the environmetnal assessments, the forms were signed by the village planning board and the village staff defended and explained the assessments -- not the hospital or the engineering firm whose analysis was attached.
