NEW BUSINESS:
PB-08-05 - Folts - 1452 Victor Road - Home Occupation - Larry & Darlene Folts were present to address the Board. They would like to sell homemade ice cream at local events and festivals using an Amish-style ice cream trailer. Home preparation of the product would be done in a second kitchen in their basement, which has been approved by the NYS Health Dept. The engine, which propels the ice cream freezer, will be run at the residence during restricted hours (9:00 a.m-8:00 p.m.). Large truck deliveries (1-2 times per year) will not be made at their home but at Mr. Folts' business address. Motion to approve this home occupation for an ice cream machine made by Kevin Rooney, seconded by Tom Ferreri. All in favor; motion approved.
OLD BUSINESS:
PB-31-04 - Wal-Mart Supercenter/APD Engineering - Route 31 - A. J. Bellavia, Bergmann Associates, was present to discuss possible changes to the Wal-Mart site plan regarding the west side outdoor garden center. As approved, the use of brick piers and fencing for this area would not allow adequate room for proposed parking spaces and drive aisle. Mr. Bellavia presented another fencing option, which would allow for product racks inside & outside the garden area and preserve the parking/drive aisle by eliminating the brick piers. The outside racks would be used for storage of large garden items. Board members felt this would be a major change in the visual appearance of the building's west side and questioned the safety of operating fork lifts/tow motors on the sidewalk to replenish items stored along the garden center fence. After discussion, the members agreed the building's architecture should remain as originally approved. Site plan changes for parking/drive aisle to preserve the brick pier design could be presented at the July 11th meeting.
