PUBLIC HEARING:
PB-14-07 Spectra Group Route 31/North Wilson Road Realty subdivision
& commercial site plan A motion to open the public hearing was made by
Kevin Rooney, seconded by Suzanne Airy.
All in favor; motion carried.
Brad Hill of Spectra Group gave an overview of the project. The subject property is east of the existing
Wal-Mart, and development will be completed in two phases. The first phase now under consideration
includes a 25,000 sq. ft. ABVI/Goodwill center and 35,000 sq. ft. shopping
plaza with cross-access to the Wal-Mart
Supercenter. The second phase will be four (4) outparcels. Mr. Hill
stated they have commitments for 80% of the retail space in the shopping
center. Spectra is
also working out the final details of the project with DEC and DOT. Two
Wilson Road residents asked about a traffic light
at the Wilson Road/Route 31 intersection.
Mr. Hill responded that NYS DOT has jurisdiction over this matter and
has determined that a light is not warranted for the first phase of
development. However, infrastructure for
a light will be installed now with a second traffic study done prior to Phase
2. Route 31 improvements include additional
traffic lanes and left turn lanes. Town
Engineer Allen explained the DOTs position on this area of Route 31 and reiterated
the Towns requirement for another traffic study before any outparcels
can be developed. There was no one else
to speak for or against this application.
A motion to close the public hearing was made by Kevin Rooney, seconded
by Suzanne Airy. All in favor; motion
carried.
OLD BUSINESS:
PB-14-07 Spectra Group Route 31/North Wilson Road Realty subdivision
& commercial site plan As a followup to last
months meeting, Town Engineer Scott Allen reviewed the SEQR areas needing
clarification: Traffic, Agricultural
Land Resources & Critical Environmental Areas. The Wayne County Planning Board has
recommended the project be approved with conditions (see file). Brian Gagne questioned one item regarding a
landlocked outparcel.
Board members felt this would be dealt with when Phase 2 is presented. Scott Allen then explained the SEQR process,
and the implications of negative and positive declarations. A motion for negative SEQR declaration was
made by Brian Gagne, seconded by Kevin Rooney.
All in favor; motion carried.
Town Engineer will now put together a detailed engineering review letter
for the project. Andy Hart of Bergmann
Associates presented the revised elevations for ABVI/Goodwill. Requested changes have been made to the rear
of the building.
PB-04-06 Gananda Partnership Pheasant
Run Phase 3A Revised subdivision (2 phases) Gary Smith of Parrone Engineering was present to explain this
request. Pheasant Run Section 3 was
approved in 2006 with 26 lots on the south side of Section 1 and 15 lots on the
north side. The developer would like to
split this into two separate phases: 3A
26 lots (Peacock Circle)
and 3B 15 lots (Tanaberry & Spragbrook). Phase 3A would be developed now, and Phase 3B
would probably not be developed until the project on the Walworth side goes
forward. A motion was made by Kevin
Rooney, seconded by Brian Gagne, to grant approval for the revised site plan
and subdivision for Phase 3A of 26 lots as submitted. All in favor; motion carried.
PB-04-08 Littlefield Quaker
Road One-lot realty subdivision &
residential site plan Sketch Tom Littlefield was present to explain his
application. He would like to subdivide
a 76± acre parcel into two lots: 1.3
acres with the existing house & 75 acres with a residential site plan. A motion was made by Kevin Rooney, seconded
by Mark McEwen, to grant sketch plan approval for one-lot subdivision and
residential site plan. All in favor;
motion carried.
NEW BUSINESS:
PB-05-08 Goslee 3237 Holly Crescent Site plan
modification This resident would like to put an addition on their home
(corner lot) which would go beyond the designated setback. Due to NCD zoning, any deviations must be
approved by the Planning Board as a site plan modification instead of a
variance from the ZBA. This is a raised
ranch home of 1540 sq. ft., including the basement. Residents would like to add a family room and
expand their kitchen with a 2-story addition (560 sq. ft. total). A motion was made by Kevin Rooney, seconded by
Brian Gagne, to approve the revised site plan, as submitted, to exceed setback. All in favor; motion carried.
MINUTES:
A motion to approve the 03-24-08
minutes was made by Suzanne Airy, seconded by Kevin Rooney. All in favor; minutes approved.
ADJOURNMENT:
A motion to adjourn was made by
Kevin Rooney, seconded by Tom Morrison.
All in favor; meeting adjourned at 8:22 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Susan Bush
Clerk to the Board
