OLD BUSINESS:
PB-03-07 Lyons
National Bank Route 31 Commercial site plan Preliminary &
final Tom Kime, Lyons National Bank, stated
variances have been received from the ZBA for signs and driveway setbacks,
along with County approval for the project.
NYS DOT agreement will take some time to work out. Applicant would like to go forward with the
project and resubmit to DOT with Town & County referrals. Route 31 entrance options were discussed:
right-in/right-out vs. 3-lane driveway.
DOT recommends right-in/right-out.
Town Engineer felt that option would not work well and cited Macedon Commons and Spinners as examples. Mr. Kime will set
up a meeting with DOT to include Town Engineer & a representative from
Fisher Associates to discuss the Route 31 entrance. Landscaping:
(1) Landscaping to be added to grading plan; (2) Landscaping to be shown
between building and Route 31; (3) Route 31 berm to
be 2 ft. higher than center line of road; (3) Trees to be added per code one
2 caliper tree per 60 ft. of road frontage; (4) Existing trees to be removed
and new trees planted along east property line; (5) Board would like to see
landscaping similar to that of Wal-Mart & Lowes. Drainage:
(1) Retention pond outlet to be increased to 24 from 12; (2) Increase
size of culvert under driveway. Mark
McEwen felt the buildings front facade would be more attractive if it mimicked
the eastern elevation with more decorative elements. Board members felt there were too many
outstanding issues to grant final approval at this point, but would consider
granting a grading permit. Applicant
will return on 04-23-07 to resolve outstanding issues. A motion was made by Brian Gagne, seconded by
Kevin Rooney, to approve issuance of a site grading permit subject to Town
Engineer and Board comments. All in
favor; motion carried.
PB-05-07 Casartelli/Bella Design Research Forest
Industrial site plan Preliminary & final Per Ed Raynor,
DGA Builders, storm water calculations and water pressure/line size information
have been supplied to the Town Engineer.
Water line has been changed to 1-1/2.
There do not appear to be any storm water issues; drainage goes to
retention pond on the corner.
Landscaping plan was reviewed. At
least one (1) street tree needs to be added at the entrance. Sign code was discussed; street sign must
contain street number. Applicant would
like to begin site grading as soon as possible.
Odor producing emissions were questioned. Mr. Casartelli
explained there will be a DEC approved spray booth for paint, primers and clear
coating. The operation will meet OSHA
and DEC standards. At its present
location, Bella Design operates at levels below those requiring DEC
approval. It is possible the levels may
increase slightly, and a DEC application has been submitted. Waste management is reported to DEC based on
volumes. Suppliers provide manifest of
products sold to Bella, and Bella records
usage/finished products. All DEC
regulations will be met for emissions.
SEQR was noted accordingly.
Motion for a negative SEQR declaration was made by Brian Gagne, seconded
by Kevin Rooney. All in favor; motion
carried. Motion to grant preliminary and
final site plan approval was made by Brian Gagne, seconded by Kevin Rooney. All in favor; motion carried.
NEW BUSINESS:
PB-06-07 Bob
James/Fairport-Macedon Mini Storage Route 31F Realty subdivision
& commercial site plan Sketch Dave Matthews, Matthews Consulting, was
present on behalf of the applicant. This
is the subdivision of 5.74 acres from the 9+ acre parcel containing a John
Deere dealership. New parcel would be
used for the construction of twelve (12) mini storage buildings in two phases
of six. Each building would contain
24-30 units. The owners, Don & Ron Cedruly, operate a similar facility in Ontario.
The rear portion of the parcel would be used for outside storage of
RVs, boats, etc. Mr. Matthews noted
this is an allowed use for the zoning (GC), and the site plan meets all setback
requirements. There will be no office;
therefore, no water service and/or sewage disposal needed. Shoebox lighting will be used, and security
cameras installed & monitored by VCR tape on-site. There will be no storage doors on the ends of
the buildings facing Route 31F, and the roof lines will be hipped to make them
more aesthetically pleasing. West side
of parcel will be reserved for storm water management with a series of
collection basins and piping. Driveway
will be paved; remainder of site will not.
The only fencing will be around the open storage area in the rear. Board members expressed preferences for
paving, more attractive exteriors, fencing with controlled access; landscaping
along front and possibly along the sides of the property. Evergreen Hills and Littlefield were cited as
examples of self-storage operations. A
full landscaping plan will be provided when applicant returns for final
approval. Current submission meets all
requirements for sketch plan approval.
Motion to grant sketch plan approval was made by Brian Gagne, seconded
by Kevin Rooney. All in favor; motion
carried.

A motion to approve the 03-26-07 minutes was made by Mark
McEwen, seconded by Suzanne Airy. All in
favor; minutes approved.
ADJOURNMENT:
A motion to adjourn was made by Suzanne Airy, seconded by
Kevin Rooney. All in favor; meeting
adjourned at 9:05 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
