Frank Dimino, Inc. / 921 Route 31(Henning Parcel) / Site Plan Review / Sketch

Jim Daigler representing Frank Dimino was present to address the board. The proposal is to install a 600’ long dedicated access roadway from Route 31 into the subject parcel, located at 921 Route 31. This will improve the marketability of the 238 acre overall parcel. The DOT has reviewed the traffic study, which has trigger thresholds for future roadway improvements required during the build out of the parcel. SRF (Steve Ferranti) prepared the traffic study. The SEQR analysis is an overall general assessment of the parcel, as developed with ORM zoning. The Zoning Board of Appeals has denied a variance for the proposed setback from the new road to the existing barn (less than 75’). The application now shows the road right-of-way 75’ from the existing barn. The DEC has indicated that they want a conservation easement on the parcel’s wetlands. A future wetland crossing will be required to access the 25 acres located at the northwest corner of the parcel. Tom Ferreri questioned the future plans for this parcel – will it be sold and developed as ORM, or will a rezone be asked for later? Per Jim Daigler – parcel to be developed as ORM at this time. Scott Allen indicated that street trees will be required on the new roadway – although the applicant could add the trees to the letter of credit, and install the trees after all utilities are finished. Motion to grant sketch plan approval made by Tom Morrison, per the provided site plan, seconded by Howard Jordan. All in favor – motion carried.
