OLD BUSINESS:

 

PB-03-06 – Macedon Land Associates, LLC – Route 31/Macedon Parkway – Realty subdivision & commercial site plans (Shoppes at Macedon/Lowe’s) – Town Engineer Scott Allen began with a Part 2 SEQR review.  East Park Drive extension is included within the scope of this project.   It was noted there were ten (10) attachments to the EAF supporting this application.  Positive impacts and the degree of those impacts (small to moderate) were discussed as follows: 

 

(1)   Impact on land – due to clearing & grading of site.

(5)   Surface water – paving creates more run-off; to be addressed with DEC discharge

        permit & regional retention pond of 3.15 acres.

(6)   Drainage patterns – patterns are altered; addressed by retention pond.

(12) Archaeological sites – report shows nothing of significance found.

(15) Transportation – traffic studies done with plan to mitigate problems.

(17) Noise – traffic, deliveries & speaker systems – no close neighbors to project.

(19) Character of neighborhood – Density – vacant land vs. building.

Community services – Schools – no impact; increased tax revenue. Police - anticipate fewer calls as opposed to previous mobile home park; calls will be of a different nature.  Fire/Ambulance – concerns of Village Mayor reviewed; anticipate fewer calls vs. mobile home park.  SEQR process is to determine impact of this   project, not to anticipate projects which may come in the future.

(20) Public controversy – No one spoke against this application at the public hearing.

 

Resolution for negative SEQR declaration was reviewed.  Mark McEwen asked that document dates be added to the list of attachments.  Motion to adopt the resolution for negative SEQR declaration with addition of attachment dates made by Kevin Rooney, seconded by Mark McEwen.  All in favor; motion carried.
