TOWN BOARD REFERRAL:
SUP-05-14 A & P Auto Parts 2384 Creek Road Modification of Special Use Permit Pat Abold of A & P Auto Parts was present to address the Board. Mr. Abold explained that since acquiring this operation in 2010, the business has tripled and outgrown the current facility. Their sales are 95% wholesale/5% retail. Traffic in and out is mainly delivery/shipping of cars and parts. Any vehicles not sold/recycled within 120 days are crushed and removed. They would now like to build a second building (15,000 sq. ft.) to expand their production area (5,000 sq. ft.) to five (5) bays from two (2), and increase their shipping & warehouse space (10,000 sq. ft.). Located behind the existing building, this would be a steel building with an internal firewall between the production and warehouse areas. Eventually the two buildings may be connected by an open, roofed area. Mr. Abold also explained they have an independent environmental firm which comes in regularly to test the site, and A & P tests their pond after every rain event. No DEC permits will be required for this project. There will be no expansion of the outdoor storage yard. No tires are stored on site; they are used, sold or sent for recycling. The new building will have tanks to store any waste fluids.
A motion was made by Greg Whitney, seconded by Kevin Rooney, to give a positive referral to the Town Board for this expansion. All in favor (McEwen absent); motion carried.
MINUTES:
A motion to approve the 06-09-14 minutes was made by Mert Bartels, seconded by Greg Whitney. All in favor (McEwen absent); minutes approved.
ADJOURNMENT:
A motion to adjourn the meeting was made by Kevin Rooney, seconded by Greg Whitney. All in favor (McEwen absent); meeting adjourned at 7:55 p.m.
