NEW BUSINESS:

PB-12-13 – Tim Horton’s USA – Route 31/Sampson Drive – Commercial site plan – Log-in & sketch – Dan Blamowski from Tim Horton’s USA was present to address the Board. This is a 1.46 acre site located between Route 31 & Sampson Drive at the corner of Walmart’s driveway. The proposal includes a 1,953 sq. ft. store, 25 parking spaces (20 required by Town Code), 10-11 car stacking space for the drive-thru, two (2) entrances/exits onto Sampson Drive, a seasonal patio with seating (enclosed by decorative fencing) and a fully enclosed dumpster. Dumpster services and truck deliveries will be done during off-peak times (late morning/mid-afternoon). Lighting will be contained on site with shields and downward fixtures; pole heights will conform to Town recommendation; LED’s are an option. All access will be from Sampson Drive. NYS DOT has denied Route 31 access as any driveway would be within the area of the existing right turn lane for Walmart. Other items discussed were: Possible reduction of the existing berm along Route 31 (previously approved use of the site as a gas station required more buffering), preferred building style (several elevations were presented), signs (more than 2 will require variances), landscaping (more trees than bushes), and the gas line across the west end of the site. A Special Use Permit application has also been submitted (restaurant in GC zoning). Mr. Blamowski noted that Marathon Engineering will be the consultant on this project.

A motion to grant sketch plan approval was made by Mert Bartels, seconded by Greg Whitney. All in favor; motion carried.

ADJOURNMENT:
