The Board and Ms. Meyer reviewed the Wayne County Planning Board’s response: (1) No other permits beyond local are required. Ms. Meyer contacted NYS DEC, and no permit modification is necessary. (2) Host community agreement is not applicable to this. Truck traffic of one 18-wheel trailer truck per week does not warrant an impact fee. Drop-off trucks are 10-wheel trucks used for residential pick up. (3) Large trucks are required to use state roads. (4) Both facilities will not be visible from the canal due to a wooded area. (5) Noise from the shooting range will be governed by the Town’s noise ordinance. It will be a daylight activity; no artificial lighting. In addition, Ms. Meyer stated the shooting range is a community service gesture on the part of Waste Management. The range will eliminate the need for local officers travelling to distant shooting facilities.
A motion for negative SEQR declaration was made by Mert Bartels, seconded by Mark McEwen. All in favor (Rooney absent); motion carried. A motion to grant preliminary & final site plan approval was made by Greg Whitney, seconded by Mark McEwen. All in favor (Rooney absent); motion carried.
PB-01-11 – Beckenbach – 1116 Route 31 – Commercial site plan – Architectural changes – Jim Beckenbach was present to discuss proposed exterior changes for his project. Due to cost considerations, he would like to use horizontal vinyl siding and cultured stone on the front, east & west elevations of the building and architectural shingles on the front roof. The color of the pole barn in the back will change to match the color of the siding. Mr. Beckenbach brought samples of the products/colors for the Board’s review. Main color of the building will be “hickory moss”, and roof will be dark gray. The vinyl siding will wrap around on the east & west elevations, and the cultured stone will be carried around the sides of the front building and the connector section. The pole barn will have dark gray metal roofing. These changes will give the building a more residential look. A motion was made by Greg Whitney, seconded by Suzanne Airy, to modify the site plan approval with the following changes: (1) Roof on front building to have architectural shingles; (2) Brick on front building will change to cultured stone; (3) Vertical metal siding will change to horizontal vinyl siding on the front, east & west elevations; (4) Colors on rear building will be dark charcoal and “hickory moss”. All in favor (Rooney absent); motion carried.
