TOWN BOARD REFERRALS:

Wayne ARC/Shadow, LLC – 927 Victor Road – Special Use Permit – Restaurant conversion to day services facility – Property is currently a pre-existing, non-conforming use as a restaurant & bar, a use proven to be unsuccessful for several years. Conversion to a day services facility for disabled individuals would generate a low traffic volume. No exterior changes will be made. NYS DOH certification will be required for the facility. The possibility of a public canoe launch on Ganargua Creek, trail easements and use of the facility by community groups, such as scouts, will be discussed at the Town Board level. Planning Board members felt the proposed conversion would be a reasonable use of the property.

Member Mark McEwen left the meeting at 8:00 p.m.

Kaplin – 2904 Kittering Road – Special Use Permit – The applicant would like to operate his towing business from his residence. Business is a 24-hr. operation with four (4) trucks. Service for the tow trucks would be provided on-site. Board members had concerns regarding light & noise generated by this operation. Lacking widespread neighbor support, Board felt that a 24-hr. operation was not compatible with a residential neighborhood.

MINUTES:

A motion to approve the 12-10-07 minutes was made by Kevin Rooney, seconded by Mert Bartels. All in favor; minutes approved.

ADJOURNMENT:

A motion to adjourn was made by Tom Morrison, seconded by Mert Bartels. All in favor; meeting adjourned at 8:15 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,

Susan Bush

Clerk to the Board
