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

Chairman Allen called the meeting to order at 7:35 p.m.

OLD BUSINESS:

PB-02-07 – DeHollander – Chester Wood Phase 2 – Pannell Road – 3-lot realty subdivision & residential site plans – Modification of sketch – Developer Scott DeHollander was present to discuss the proposed road for Phase 2. At the 2-12-07 meeting the Board requested input from the Phase 1, Lot 1 homeowner who would be impacted by a change from town-dedicated to private road. Mr. DeHollander stated the homeowner does not want a private road, nor do the prospective buyers of the Phase 2 lots. He then reviewed the types of roads delineated in the Town Code and proposed a town-dedicated rural development road, which would have shoulders instead of gutters and open drainage. Road configuration would be similar to that originally proposed for Phase 2 but built to the rural development road standard. A town-dedicated road would allow for future subdivision. Road profile must be reviewed with Highway Supervisor Dick Roets. Utilities will remain as designed on the preliminary plan. A motion was made by Kevin Rooney, seconded by Mark McEwen, to approve sketch modification for a rural development road with pavement section to be determined by the Highway Supervisor. All in favor; motion carried. Board members suggested a copy of the Public Hearing notice be sent to the owners of Lot 1 at the appropriate time.

NEW BUSINESS:

Alpco Recycling, Inc. – 846 Macedon Center Road (Rt. 31F) – Fill permit renewal – Krista Walker-Smolnik was present to explain their request.
