PRESENT: Chairman Doug Allen, members Brian Gagne, Mark McEwen and Tom Morrison. Also present were Town Engineer Scott Allen and Councilman Ken Nawrocki. Absent were members Mert Bartels, Tom Ferreri and Kevin Rooney.

Chairman Allen called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m.

PB-16-03 – Brasser – 3013 West Walworth Rd. – Home Occupation – Lois Brasser was present to explain her request. She would like to operate a chair caning business from her home. There will be no customers coming to her house; she will pick up & deliver all goods. No noise will be generated as a result of this endeavor. Motion made by Brian Gagne, seconded by Mark McEwen, to approve this home occupation. All in favor; motion carried.

PB-20-03 – Newcomb Oil Co. – 1116 Route 31 – Fill – Rick Brown of Newcomb Oil (Macedon Citgo) presented this proposal for 2300 yds of fill. Most material will come from construction sites; however, some remediation material may come from their own properties. A 1997 fill permit for this site, including remediation material, is expired. That material has been leveled on the site; however, site is overgrown with brush & weeds. Newcomb would now like to fill the rear area for possible store expansion and/or a pole barn for truck storage. Board discussion brought out these points: (1) Timeline for completion; (2) Source of fill; (3) Berm to control site access; (4) Final grading & seeding. It was felt the berm should be installed first; site should be cleaned up this fall with fill to be placed next spring. Once berm is installed, the fill permit can be issued for a six-month period. Motion for negative SEQR declaration made by Brian Gagne, seconded by Mark McEwen. All in favor; motion carried. Motion made by Brian Gagne, seconded by Mark McEwen, to approve this fill permit contingent upon (1) completion of berm; (2) berm plantings – three 1-1/2" caliper maple trees, seeded and/or mulched; (3) proper erosion control measures taken. All in favor; motion carried.

PB-22-03 – Littlefield/Glenwood – Route 31 (Macedon Commons – Lot R-2) – Tom Littlefield presented his proposal. Subject lot is between Macedon Commons Plaza and an area he has just completed filling. By filling this new area his lot and the plaza would be at the same level. The property owner, GW Macedon Land Company, LLC/The Glenwood Company of Macedon, LLC, has given permission to the applicant for this action. Present stone topping of lot will be removed prior to fill & replaced once the operation is completed. A shallow swale on top of perforated pipe will carry drainage. Several easements on this property could impede future development. Motion made by Brian Gagne, seconded by Tom Morrison, for negative SEQR declaration on Lot R-2 Macedon Commons. All in favor; motion carried. Motion made by Brian Gagne, seconded by Mark McEwen, to approve fill permit to be issued to GW Macedon Land Company, LLC/The Glenwood Company of Macedon, LLC, for a period of six months and 3,500 cu. yds. of fill. All in favor; motion carried.

Hynes/County Line Raceway – 311 Route 31 – Expansion of Special Use – Bob Johnson and Eric Hynes were present regarding a modification of a Special Use Permit. Mr. Hynes is purchasing an additional parcel of land to the west of his property to accommodate a second racetrack. The second track would appeal to more experienced drivers (more challenging layout/faster cars). Entire area would be fenced, additional parking and lighting installed. Fill required is part of the site plan, and permit for it can be issued once Town Board approval for the modification has been given. Landscaping needs were discussed. Berm along Route 31 should contain five (5) maple trees & be seeded. Motion made by Tom Morrison, seconded by Brian Gagne, to give the Town Board a positive referral for this expansion. All in favor; motion carried.

Toomey Enterprises – 1620 Wayneport Rd. – Temporary use permit – Office trailer – Scott Allen explained a temporary use permit can be issued for a three-month period with one three-month extension allowed. Toomey Enterprises would like to place a temporary office trailer on their premises while they make plans for housing additional staff. This will be a construction style trailer, 10' x 50', not connected to the building, located on the south side of the back building. There is a row of trees between the proposed location and the adjoining property. Board had the following concerns: (1) Placement could be behind building, not to the side; (2) Space could be rented elsewhere; (3) Rental space within the Toomey building; (4) Input from neighbors regarding placement.

PB-14-03 – Osmen/Dunkin Donuts – Route 31 – Les Murfin, Passero Associates, presented façade changes for the proposed building. Exterior is brick & stone; royal plum color has been removed except for the canopy over the door. Screening of the rooftop units will be anchored to the roof and the same grey color as the walls. Rear cooler will also be screened. Motion to approve the changes made by Tom Morrison, seconded by Brian Gagne. All in favor; motion carried.

Z-17-03 – Bardeen – 1592 Walworth Rd. – Area Variance – Sections 135-61-A & 135-61-B-4 – Garage space exceeds 800 sq. ft. & accessory structure higher than 16 ft. – Board has no concerns; positive referral.

Z-19-03 – Osmen/Dunkin Donuts – Route 31 – Area Variance – Sections 135-190-A & 135-190-C – Square footage & number of signs exceed Code – Board felt signs should be consistent with those for CVS. Objected to purple used on pylon; make consistent with color of brick used on building and/or colors used for CVS pylon.

Approval of 9-8-03 minutes deferred until next meeting due to lack of proper quorum.

Motion to adjourn made by Brian Gagne, seconded by Tom Morrison. Meeting adjourned at 8:55 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,

Susan Bush

Clerk to the Board
