OLD BUSINESS:

PB-13-13 – Four Points Land Development – Wayneport Road & Carlson Lane (Capital Hill) – Subdivision & site plan – Phase 1 (24 single-family homes) – Robert Cantwell of BME Associates addressed the Board. He reviewed changes to the site plan since the January meeting. The storm water management pond and the residential lots that border it have been reconfigured. The pond has been elongated and narrowed with the new design remaining outside the delineated wetlands. The land around the pond will now be included in the open space. At their January meeting, the Wayne County Planning Board recommended approval of the overall preliminary plan and Phase 1 final plan. The County Planning Board also noted the road to the townhomes (Phase 2) should be built to accommodate emergency vehicles whether it is private or town-dedicated. Roads constructed as part of Phase 1 will be town-dedicated and as such will meet all town specifications.

Access to the main storm water management pond will be via driveway from the road leading to the townhomes. The pond will be installed as part of Phase 1, and easements will be needed. Easements will also be needed along the existing drainage ditch, and it was noted that the Town Highway Supervisor would need to inspect the condition of the ditch prior to filing those easements. A second storm water management pond on the north side of the proposed townhome road will also be completed as part of Phase 1.

A motion was made by Greg Whitney, seconded by Mert Bartels, that after holding a public hearing and making a referral to the Wayne County Planning Board, a positive recommendation is made to the Town Board for approval of the overall TPD project of Four Points Land Development. All in favor (Morrison absent); motion carried.
