NEW BUSINESS

PB-22-02 Matzan/Leno&Alderman Rds/2 Lot Realty Sub-Division

Greg Matzan presented his plans to divide this property into two (2) lots: Corner lot of approx. 1 acre & remaining lot of approx. 4.7 acres. Discussion then centered on concerns enumerated in the Town Engineer's letter of 8/9/02 to Mr. Matzan.

The County Planning Board (letter of 8/01/02) also voiced two of these concerns (driveway location for Lot 1 and wetlands encroachment for Lot 2). Mr. Matzan indicated he would correct the plans in accordance with the ten (10) concerns raised. In particular, Lot 1 would be redesigned to place the driveway on Leno Road instead of Alderman Road. Also, on Lot 2 the wetland areas had been flagged by the DEC two years ago and those flags are still in place, which is acceptable to the DEC. Motion made by Brian Gagne to grant sketch approval with consideration given to the concerns listed by the Town Engineer; seconded by Kevin Rooney. All in favor. Motion granted.

PB-23-02 Sanson/NE Corner Wilson & Wilkinson Road/ 1 lot Realty Site Plan

This is an existing, wooded lot. Driveway location was discussed, and it was felt the current location was the best due to the wetlands on Wilson Road. The horse barn to be placed on this property is larger and taller than zoning regulations allow. Therefore, the applicant would like a positive recommendation from the Planning Board to take to the ZBA for granting of a variance. Due to the size (16+ acres) and wooded nature of the lot, plus the general character of the area, the Board felt it could make a positive referral based on the plans submitted. Motion made by Brian Gagne, seconded by Mert Bartels, to approve the sketch plan subject to required zoning variance(s). All in favor. Motion granted.

PB-24-02 Dentico & Richter/Walworth Road/1 Lot Sub-Division

This is presently farmland. Wayne County Planning Board recommended approval; No concerns from Town Engineer. Motion made by Brian Gagne, seconded by Mert Bartels, to approve sketch plan. All in favor. Motion granted.

OTHER BUSINESS

Mr. Mike Morrelae of Merit Development, who was scheduled to discuss a possible development at the corner of Gananda Parkway and Canandaigua Roads, did not appear.

Mr. Carl Eligh of Hance Road asked to address the Board regarding the Pheasant Run sub-division. Mr. Eligh referred to his letter to individual board members dated August 8, 2002. He also presented a map of the Pheasant Run project as it was proposed in approximately 1990 and had questions regarding changes in the number of houses and buffer zones along the proposed entrance from Hance Road. Other issues raised were: Berm seeding, installation of lighting and drainage issues for Evergreen Hills. Scott Allen indicated that the DEC would be issuing a wetlands permit for Pheasant Run probably on 8/13/02.

After the conclusion of all other business, the meeting went into executive session for discussion of possible litigation at 8:12 p.m. and returned to regular session at 8:50 p.m.

Review of candidates for the open Board seat was then done. Councilman Nawrocki will take the Board's recommendation to the Town Board at its next meeting.

Motion to adjourn made by Kevin Rooney, seconded by Brian Gagne. Meeting adjourned.

Respectfully submitted,

Susan Bush
