OTHER BUSINESS:

 

PB-06-07 – Fairport-Macedon Mini-Storage – Route 31F – Modification of site plan – Dave Matthews of Matthews Consulting and owners Don Cedruly and Ron Cedruly were present to explain the requested site plan modifications.  This project was originally approved 06-25-07 as three phases of 4-3-3 units respectively.  Construction costs and economic conditions have changed since that time, and the owners have proposed the following changes:   Three (3) units instead of four (4) along Route 31F in Phase 1; eliminate the hipped roofs; change exteriors to split-face block instead of brick; use millings instead of new asphalt in paved areas; move outdoor storage to immediately behind the three buildings until the next phase.  Landscaping will be installed as originally planned.  With approval given in June, 2007, the Board members questioned the delay in beginning the project.  Applicants stated they did not receive NYS DOT approval until November, 2007, and the construction season was over for the year.  Economic conditions have changed this year prompting modifications to the site plan.  Board members felt:  (1) Notes should be added to the plan identifying the number of phases and number of buildings in each phase; (2) Paving with new asphalt instead of millings was consistent with other similar projects; (3) Removal of hipped roofs was acceptable; (4) Area east of buildings to be designated as open grass and not to be used for open storage.  New building elevations and site plan were requested from the applicants, who will return at the 07-28-08 meeting.

 

PB-16-07 – Prime Time Convenience Store – 1241 Route 31 – Modification of site plan – Kevin Hartson was present to explain the changes to this site plan.  Original proposal was for a convenience store and two restaurants.  Modification is for a convenience store, fast food restaurant (McDonald’s) and laundromat, adding approximately 1,000 sq. ft. to the building.  The new proposal would generate more traffic, and additional parking has been added.  There will be two driveway interconnections with Dunkin’ Donuts.  Lighting will be LED lights, which conserve energy and decrease light pollution.  The convenience store and possibly McDonald’s drive-thru will be open 24 hours/7 days a week.  Building front will be quik brik and split-face block with split-face block on the ends and rear.  There will be five (5) double-sided fuel islands (gas/E85/diesel/bio-diesel) and the gas canopy will be company (Valero) colors of white/teal/yellow.  Board would like to see new building elevations (including adding more detail to the east end to break up the long, plain wall), material/color samples for building & gas canopy, and proposed sign package (including the pylon).
