PB-21-03 – McEvoy – 2309 Macedon Center Road – Resubdivision – Motion made by Mert Bartels, seconded by Kevin Rooney, to open the public hearing. Newt Gowdy and Dick McEvoy were present to speak in support of this application. John Bills, 2388 Walworth Road, spoke against this proposal. Mr. Bills was concerned about a prospective buyer, who has previously been fined for zoning violations within the Town. He does not want to see a similar situation develop here. Councilman Nawrocki explained the Planning Board's responsibility is to make sure this application for subdivision complies with the Town Code. Possible use is not part of the consideration. Scott Allen explained the present garage is a pre-existing, non-conforming use. As such, it can only be used for its current purpose. If the use changes, it would revert to AR-40 guidelines. The Planning Board application is to change the property lines only, not the use. No one else was present to speak for or against this application. Motion made by Mert Bartels, seconded by Kevin Rooney, to close the public hearing. All in favor; motion carried.

PB-10-03 – Caton – Yellow Mills Road – Site plan – Single family residence – Dave Matthews, Matthews Consulting, explained this request. Lot has public water, septic and is well treed. Town Engineer had no problems with the application. Motion for negative SEQR declaration made by Kevin Rooney, seconded by Tom Ferreri. All in favor; motion carried. Motion made by Tom Ferreri, seconded by Kevin Rooney, to approve this site plan. All in favor; motion carried.

PB-11-03 – Whitney – Quaker Road – Subdivision & site plan – Single family residence – Dave Matthews, Matthews Consulting, explained this request. Due to steep banks along the road frontage, this lot shares a common driveway with an adjoining lot. Driveway easement needs to be shown on subdivision plan.

Motion made by Mert Bartels, seconded by Tom Ferreri, to approve this subdivision & site plan. All in favor; motion carried.

PB-21-03 – McEvoy – 2309 Macedon Center Road – Resubdivision – Newt Gowdy, representing the applicant, explained this request for a realty subdivision. It is a reconfiguration of two existing lots. Lot 1 (corner lot), containing the residence & garage, is 6.1 acres and Lot 2 is 18.8 acres. Chairman Doug Allen and Town Engineer Scott Allen again reviewed the concept of a pre-existing, non-conforming use (body shop/welding shop) and any change would mean the property reverts to a strict AR-40 use. As a realty subdivision, the Board saw no problems. Motion for negative SEQR declaration made by Mert Bartels, seconded by Kevin Rooney. All in favor; motion carried. Motion made by Tom Morrison, seconded by Kevin Rooney, to approve this subdivision. All in favor; motion carried.

PB-14-03 – Osmen/Dunkin Donuts – Route 31 – Chris Passero, Passero Associates, requested final approval on signs. Variance had been received from the Appeals Board for size & number of signs, and now they need approval on colors. Use of royal purple on the pylon sign pole and light poles was discussed. Board consensus was all poles should either match those of CVS or be a neutral color. Non-raceway signs for the building façade were also discussed. Motion made by Kevin Rooney, seconded by Mark McEwen, for approval of sign package using non-raceway signs and all poles (light & pylon sign) to be a neutral color. All in favor; motion carried.

Mr. Passero went on to explain a proposed change in screening around the outside cooler at the rear of the building. Using split face block/brick as previously approved is cost prohibitive, and they would like to use either natural plantings or vinyl fencing to match the roof screening. The Board felt vinyl fencing similar to CVS would be acceptable and must be high enough to completely shield the cooler. It is hereby noted in the minutes that the Board consensus is to allow the change in screening to match the roof screening, and it must be tall enough to completely shield the cooler.

PB-18-03 – Coomber – Magog Road – One lot subdivision & site plan – Sketch – David VanLare, engineer for the applicant, presented this proposal. Town Engineer saw no problems. Wayne County Planning Board recommended approval. Motion made by Kevin Rooney, seconded by Tom Ferreri, to grant sketch approval. All in favor; motion carried.

PB-19-03 – Courtney – Pannell/Cline Roads – Site plan – Sketch – Newt Gowdy, representing the applicant, presented this proposal for a single family residence. Fill was placed on this site last year, allowed to sit through a freeze/thaw cycle and perc test done this year. A neighbor's concern regarding an old farm tile in this lot was discussed. The tile line is to be cut off to prevent any leachate that may infiltrate the tile being transported onto the neighbor's land. Site plan is to be marked accordingly. Motion made by Mert Bartels, seconded by Mark McEwen, to grant sketch approval. All in favor; motion carried.

PB-23-03 – Spoon Exhibit Services – Research Forest – Subdivision & site plan – Sketch Present were Duncan Jackson & Mark Valentine of MRB Group, Richard LeFrois of LeFrois Construction, and Herb Besaw & Joe Besaw of Spoon Exhibit Services. Mr. Valentine explained this proposal for a 66,000 sq. ft. building located on a 9-acre parcel on the south side of Research Forest.

Site grading, drainage/run-off, utilities, sewer, parking, outside lighting, hours of operation, traffic, paint booth for finishing work, sprinklers and exterior design were all discussed. This building will be similar to another on Research Forest (PDI), split face block, birch white siding, bronze accent & stucco. There are three loading docks; no exterior storage or trailers. Mr. Valentine stated the DEC has been consulted regarding storm water run-off. Marty Aman of WCWSA has also checked the water flow & pressure for Research Forest.
