/ Preliminary and Final
Present to address the board was Paul Schreiner of DJ Parrone, Bill
Coons, a Gananda Community Church Trustee, and Ed Rainier, Builder.
Paul Schreiner gave a quick overview of the project. He stated that
the addition was approximately 5600 square feet. Two new lights will
be added and one existing light is to be relocated. Paul continued
by address the engineering comments. It was discussed that no formal
landscaping was being proposed at this time. The church is planning
to address this issue by having a landscaping party where the church members
would participate in the planting. It was decided that a note should
be added to the plan on what type of landscaping is being proposed and
how it is to be installed. The dumpster location is to be located
another 50' back from where it is currently located and the board felt
this was a better location for appearance reasons. All other engineering
comments were addressed on the plans and were satisfactory to both the
board and the applicants. DEC Correspondence was give to the board

permit with in the next 2-3 days. Short SEQR indicates no negative

ZBA REFERRALS
Deborah Kay Ayers / 708 Alderman Rd / Area Variance, Section 135-62

this was a neighborhood concern.
OTHER PERTINENT BUSINESS
Mario Fioravanti asked that a discussion be had concerning the car wash located on Route 31 next to Brixton Ave. The owner was in asking about adding on but Mario was unclear about what setbacks he should follow being that the car wash appears to be in the TPD zoning area. The planning board questioned if this property was actually part of the TPD zoning or if a mistake had been made on the zoning map. It was determined that Pat Nicoletta would review the legal description of the TPD zone from when it was originally rezoned and determine if this property was actually a part of that district.
Bill Hammond stated that the town received a letter from Jim Brady from the County Highway Department concerning the driveway on Alderman Rd that Mr. VanHout created. The letter states that although the proper process was not followed for the construction of this driveway, sight distance seemed to be adequate. The Town Board will discuss referring application back to the Planning Board for further consideration.
Bill Hammond also shared information that was received by the Town on the rat situation on West Walworth Rd. A report was received for Enviro-tech following a formal inspection by them, Mario Fioravanti and the Health inspector relaying the type of rat, their breeding habits, and how to resolve the problem.
