Fleischer's Bagels / 1688 North Wayneport Rd / 1 Lot Site Plan for Addition
to Existing Business / Preliminary and Final
Bob Johnson, Bob Murphy, Mr. Fleischer and Mark Krcmarik were all present
to address the board in representation of this application. Mark
distributed additional information to the board for review and began by
addressing the comments received from MRB. He stated that through
conversations with Mario it was determined that no variance would be needed
for the height on the proposed silos. He also stated that a meeting
was scheduled with the Power Authority for tomorrow concerning the construction
within their easement. The comments from this meeting with the Power
Authority's response will be forwarded to the Building and Zoning Office.
Mark continued by noting that a detention pond was added and calculations
were given to MRB at the beginning of this meeting. Mike Simon stated
that he would need time to review the details and calculations of this
detention facility before determining its adequacy. Mark continued
by stating that the size of the discharge pipe mentioned in item #5 of
the MRB comments would be 27" at .6% and is now shown on the plans.
Mark also stated that the proposed grading in drawing C1.1 was at a 3 to
1 slope to his calculations and asked for MRB to review this. Mark
also stated that the storm drain is designed to go underneath any future
sanitary sewer lines. Mark explained that hydrants were not noted
on the plan because the current plan shows three private hydrants, however,
they would like to change this to 1 hydrant located in the town right of
way making it a public hydrant for others to use. Mario was questioned
about this being sufficient according to code 1060.6 and it was resolved
that he would verify this. Scott Allen asked if the building has
a sprinkler system and if the addition will also have sprinklers.
It was stated that yes, the building does have a sprinkler system and the
addition would also be sprinkled with a separate zone and connection.
It was stated that the Siamese connection should be located within 50'
of the new hydrant and is noted on the plan. In response to item
#8 of the MRB comments, a full-scale drawing showing the buildings elevation
was presented. The drawing displayed the two proposed silos, which
are to be 85' in height, along with the addition of four new loading docs,
which will be in addition to the existing 3 loading docs. The furthest
back section of the building where the refrigeration units would be is
proposed at 28' at the eve, which is allowed by town code. Bob Johnson
stated that the entire building would have the metal siding and be consistent
in color. The proposed silos are to be white. Bob stated that
landscaping exists along the west elevation and plantings would be added
around the loading/unloading area. Landscape already exists in the
front of the building. Mark stated that the company uses a self-enclosed
compactor, no dumpsters and would be painted the same color as the building.
No access would be available from the outside of the building. In
response to the MRB comment #9, review of the lighting plan and modifications
will be made to the plans. Cut sheets of the lighting will be provided
and the future lighting will be clarified. Mark stated that clean
outs would be provided on the storm drain line. Mark stated that
no curbs or islands would be installed except for around the building where
the sidewalk forms a self made curb. It was noted that the sidewalks
would be 5' wide. The planning board requested a detail showing the
separation distance. Mark stated that the difference in pavements
is shown on the map with a hatching pattern but it is not clear.
Final plans will be more evident. Tom Morrison stated that there
is no location designated for tractor-trailer parking and it is not appropriate
for trucks to be parked in the fire lane. Scott Allen suggested designated
an area with marked parking spaces in the future parking area and out of
sight from Wayneport Road. Mike Simon had questions concerning the
watershed and would like to see a grading plan with improved water quality
in the addition of the detention pond. Mike Simon will work directly
with the applicants on the drainage issues. Mike questioned the willingness
of the power authority to grant approval for construction. Bob Murphy
stated that he was confident. It was stated that a memo would be
sent to the town verifying the meeting and the results. A motion
to grant negative declaration on the SEQR was made by Mert Bartels seconded
by Doug Allen, all in favor. A motion to grant preliminary and final
approval contingent on all issues discussed during this meeting was made

Plan / Preliminary and Final
Mr. Mark Welker was present to address the board. He stated that
the lot sizes in this phase are the same as phases I and II. Mark
was asked how many homes were currently occupied and he stated that 18
were. The timelines for filing approvals with the County Clerk was
questioned and it was resolved that the applicant and his engineer would
work that out. The planning board wanted to be sure the applicant
was aware that timelines were an issue. Mike Simon stated that most
MRB comments were minor in detail and were self-explanatory. Mark
stated that a lighting district was already in place for this area.
Scott Allen commented on how nice the lighting is and that the corner has
shown great improvement with the addition of this project and the new credit
union. It was also noted that the street trees were already shown
on the grading plan. Mark was also told that a stop sign should be
placed where Harwood Lane connects in. Scott Allen explained that
SEQR was already done at the time of the rezoning application and is not
necessary again at this time. A motion to grant preliminary and final
approval was made by Doug Allen seconded by Tom Morrison, all in favor.
Baldwin Richardson Foods Co. / 3268 Blue Heron View / 1 Lot Site Plan
for Addition to Existing Business / Preliminary and Final
Kevin Solva and Bob Avery were present to address the board concerning
this application. A letter from the Wayne County Highway Department
was presented stating that the road cut was approved. The MRB comments
were reviewed. Bob stated that the application has been submitted
concerning the wetlands but an answer will not be available until early
next week. Bob stated that they were confident a public hearing would
not be required for this application due to previous application and that
they are already within this area. Bob stated that the sewer is through
the Town of Walworth and will be completed to their specs. Mike Simon
stated that during the pre-construction meeting he and a representative
of the Town of Macedon should be involved along with the Town of Walworth.
Bob explained that the stone along the south base of the building was because
they are a food manufacturer ad this is required. Bob explained that
the infiltration ditch along the East property line is 2' in depth and
will have #4 stone. Bob explained that they are trying to avoid a
ponding issue in this area. It is possible to split the trench and
to do perc tests in this area of required. Bob stated in regards
to comment #7 that the notes would be reviewed and cleaned up and in regards
to comment #8 the erosion control and curb cut notes would be added.
Bob stated that it was his intention to have the slope along the driveway
3 to 1 and he will review. He stated that this was a tight area and
would also be adding crown vetch along this side. Bob stated that
he would also review the details mentioned in MRB comment #9. Scott
Allen asked Mario to verify what the code states in regards to a 50' buffer
area. Mario stated that the code states that 50' of open space is
needed but he will make a call to the state to verify. Kevin stated
that due to the wetlands their will always be open space there, however,
they are on another property. The planning board suggested that he
look into purchasing an additional 6' of land on that side to allow for
the 50' open space regulation. Mario also stated that a variance
from the state might be a possibility. A motion to declare a negative
declaration on SEQR was made by Mert Bartels, seconded by Doug Allen, all
in favor, Tom Ferreri abstained. A motion to grant preliminary and
final approval subject to the verification by Mario of the 50' open space
regulation; which would need to be in writing and Chairman, Scott Allen
will not sign the plan until this written verification is received; and
subject to all MRB comments was made by Doug Allen, seconded by Mert Bartels,
all in favor, Tom Ferreri abstained due to conflict of interest with his
position at Sear Brown. The application will be presented at the
next meeting for a revote due to lack of super majority. Super majority
would be required on this application due to a negative referral from the
Wayne County Planning Board.
TOWN BOARD REFERRALS
Donn Calabrese / South Wayneport Rd / Rezoning Application
Rod Prosser of Lakeside Engineering was present in representation of
this application. He stated that the subdivision name has been changed
from Fairport Harbor to Marvin Gardens. He stated that they have
taken the recommendations of the planning board and are in the process
of doing a traffic survey and verification of wetlands. Rod stated
that no changes have been made to the maps yet however they would like
to retract their proposal for larger lots behind the existing residences.
Rod stated that the road frontage lots would still be larger in size.
Ken and Bev Keys of 1272 Wayneport Road were present to address the board
and stated that they were unaware of the earlier public hearing procedures.
John Herkins was also present to address the board concerning this application
and stated that the public hearings went to quickly, he was outside in
the parking lot at the time. Chairman, Scott Allen stated that he would
allow their input at this point. Mr. Ken Keys stated that his concerns
included the size of the lots, the availability of the sewers to the current
residence, the width of the road, the heavy tractor trailer truck traffic
that is already present on the road and the entrance and exist of this
proposal. Rod replied by stating that this project was only in a
conceptual stage and would need to come back to the Planning Board for
subdivision and site plan approvals after the approval of the rezoning
application. Rod stated that a full traffic study was in the process.
Mr. Keys stated that he was concerned the car lights from the entrance
and exits would shine in the windows of the residence across the road.
Scott Allen assured Mr. Keys that the planning board during site plan approvals
recognizes this concern and works to avoid this problem. Scott also
stated that he had concerns with the intersection of Wilkinson and Wayneport
Roads and would be addressing this issue; a four way stop may be a solution.
Scott explained the procedure followed during a rezoning application and
stated that the planning board had 60 days to give a recommendation to
the town board. He also explained that there is a second rezoning
application for this same road. Scott told the Keys that the town
would review the sewers to determine a reasonable area to extend to so
that the existing residence would see a benefit from this project.
Scott explained that the sewers would not be provided directly to each
residence but the town can require that the applicant provide connections
stubs. Mr. Keys stated that he felt the residence should not be forced
to hook up to sewers, however, he would like the option. Scott explained
that this would depend on the sewer district, however, he feels this would
be a great benefit to the residence. Scott also explained that Wayneport
Road would not be widened unless a turning lane for this project was required.
Scott told the Keys that at no time would Wayneport Road become a four-lane
road. Scott also explained that the traffic studies to be done by
both rezoning applicants would require a cumulative impact report.
John Herkins was present and addressed the board stating that he was against
this application as it stood now. John stated that the wetlands are
going to become NYS Dec wetlands which require a 100' buffer. Scott
Allen stated that the property is to delineate and could impact the developability
of part of the lot. Scott again stated that the Planning Board only
had 60 days to review the application and give recommendation to the town
board. Scott stated that the Town Board can take as long as needed
and will have complete information prior to deciding. Scott also
explained again that after the rezoning process the applicant would need
to return to the Planning Board for subdivision and site plan approvals.
John explained that he and many of the people that live in the area invested
in their properties because this was an AR-40 zone. Bev Keys added
that if this were not such a dry year the perks would not pass in that
area. Scott stated that this is why they are proposing sewers.
Waterford Custom Homes / South Wayneport Rd / Rezoning Application
Bob Cantwell was present and distributed a color map of the concept
plan to outline the intent of this application. Bob explained that
this property is currently zoned R-30 and they are asking for it to be
rezoned to R-22 allowing 56+/- Single Family Residences and 32 apartment
units in three buildings. Bob explained that this would have public
water and sewer and would provide diversity in housing, which he feels,
fits well with the master plan. Bob stated that he reviewed a list
of neighborhood recommendations and is taking them into consideration,
however, this is not a formal district in the town of Macedon. Some
of these items include street trees, sidewalks on one side of the road,
lighting and others. Home on the eastern side of the property behind
the existing residences would stay at the R-30 zoning size. In the
NorthWest corner 3 apartment buildings containing 32 apartment units are
proposed. Bob stated that this was a good blending area due to the
area surrounding containing a driving range and skate rink. Bob stated
that open space is being provided through the project along the creek area.
Bob showed the two points of access and stated that all roads would be
dedicated except the loop around the apartments. Bob stated that
this application has been presented three years ago with a 60% more dense
concept and the only recommendation coming from the traffic study at that
point was to make shoulder improvements. Bob stated that MRB comments
have been reviewed and stated that a connection into Carlson Lane would
not allow this project the proper identity. Bob stated that the residences
of this project are not going to want to drive through the industrial area
to get to their homes.

OTHER PERTINENT BUSINESS
Scott Allen stated that training classes were being given by Monroe County and if anyone was interested in attending the Building and Zoning Clerk would get them signed up.
Mike Simon stated that he felt it was impractical for an additional entrance to be located so close to Carlson Lane for the Waterford Custom Homes rezoning application. He also asked if the SEQR would be reviewed at the Town Board level for these rezoning applications. Scott Allen explained that this would be reviewed at the Town Board level and they would take lead agents on the SEQR.
Bill Hammond suggested that the Planning Board seriously consider asking for an extension from the Town Board on the rezoning applications until all information is presented and the planning board can review. Bill felt it was important that the Planning Board have the traffic studies and all other reports before making a recommendation to the Town Board.
Bill Hammond asked Mike Simon to research who did the inspections on the sewers at Evergreen Hills. Mike stated he would look into this.
Bill Hammond told the board that issues have been brought forward at the Town Board level concerning the billboards located in town. Bill stated that they were given a 10-year life span that expired in 2000. Due to numerous circumstances this has been put on the back burner, however, at a recent meeting Dave Maul make a motion at the town board level to allow the billboards to stay with a special use permit. This was voted down but this issue needs to be resolved. Bill stated that the Billboard Company had been contacted and now the property owners would also be notified that these need to be removed. Bill stated that the Planning Board may need to review the sign ordinance due to the businesses in the Town that have directional signs that may be against code. Bill felt it was important for businesses to have the recognition needed.
