OLD BUSINESS:

 

PB-10-08 – Jordan – 2431 Magog Road – One-lot realty subdivision and residential site plan – Applicant Howard Jordan was present to explain this request.  The public hearing was held on 07-14-08, at which time no one spoke for or against the application.  After review, the members asked for a pull-over area north of the driveway culvert to allow two vehicles to pass and erosion control measures along the driveway to stabilize the banks.  A motion for negative SEQR declaration was made by Kevin Rooney, seconded by Brian Gagne.  All in favor; motion carried.  A motion was made by Kevin Rooney, seconded by Mert Bartels, to grant preliminary & final subdivision and site plan approval including a pull-off on the north side of the culvert and additional erosion control measures along the driveway.  All in favor; motion carried.

 

PB-06-07 – Fairport-Macedon Mini-Storage – Route 31F – Site plan modification – Engineer Dave Matthews and applicant Ron Cedruly were present.  Mr. Matthews reviewed the latest site plan revision.  New phasing has been defined; Phase 1 will be 3 buildings instead of 4; building fronts will be two shades of grey brick; roofs (dark grey) will be gable end, not hipped; temporary change of location for the outside storage during Phase 1 only; paved areas to be hot mix not millings; area east of buildings to be grass until next phase is begun.  All other aspects will be as previously approved; all landscaping to be installed during Phase 1.  A motion was made by Kevin Rooney, seconded by Brian Gagne, to approve site plan modifications as discussed and defined on plan dated 07-16-08.  All in favor; motion carried.

 

PB-16-07 – Prime Time Convenience Store – 1241 Route 31 – Site plan modification – Kevin Hartson presented new building elevations including the gas canopy and pylon sign.  Building contains McDonald’s, a convenience store and a laundromat.  There will be interior access between McDonald’s and the convenience store, but not the laundromat.  All three businesses will operate 24 hrs./7 days a week (McDonald’s drive-thru).  Building will be split-face block and brick, and accent banding has been added to the ends.  Building is 10 ft. wider due to the laundromat and more parking has been added to accommodate the additional traffic.  Board members had concerns regarding visibility of the cooling/heating units located on the roof.  These units should be shielded so they are not visible from the street.  All ground units and/or dumpsters should also be shielded.  The applicant will need to submit a separate sign package for Planning Board review, and a ZBA application will be needed for a sign variance.  A motion to grant approval for this site plan modification, including requested improvements for roof units and dumpsters, was made by Kevin Rooney, seconded by Brian Gagney.  All in favor; motion carried.

 

NEW BUSINESS/LOG-IN:

 

PB-11-08 – Parkwood Heights, LLC – 1340 Parkwood Drive – Site plan modification – Expansion of apartment building & garage – This proposal is for a 3-story, 33-room addition to Parkwood Heights Senior Living apartments.  Also included will be an enlarged dining room with storage area, increased garage space and parking.  New apartments will be the same level of service as present apartments.
