RESOLUTION NO. 55 (06) WAL-MART APPROVALS

WHEREAS:

  1. The Planning Board has previously approved the Wal-Mart project on the north side of Route 31 and east of Wayneport Road.
  1. The Planning Board conditions of approval included Wal-Mart making an escrow payment to the Town for use in planned improvements to Wayneport Road.
  2. The Town Planning Board approvals also contemplated Wal-Mart constructing and offering for dedication a town road to be located to the rear of the Wal-Mart property.
  3. The approved Wal-Mart site plan will also require the installation of new water and sewer lines and the abandonment of a current water main on the property.  All such improvements are to be at Wal-Mart’s cost and expense and will be secured by a letter of credit.
  4. The Wal-Mart project requires a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and such agency has issued a public notice indicating its intent to issue such permit.  A proposed condition of such permit is that an existing wetland area and a wetland mitigation area to be created by Wal-Mart and located to the east of the Wal-Mart project site would be the subject of a conservation easement.
  5. Representatives of Wal-Mart have prepared proposed agreements for the Wayneport Road escrow, a future road agreement concerning construction and future dedication of the new town road and a proposed conservation easement concerning the wetland areas.  Wal-Mart representatives have submitted proposed calculations on letter of credit for water, sewer and related improvements on the Wal-Mart project site.
  6. These proposed documents and issues have been discussed at a public meeting of the Town Board.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Town Board hereby authorizes the supervisor to execute, on behalf of the Town of Macedon, the Conservation Easement, Future Road Agreement and Wayneport Road Escrow Agreement in substantially the form presented to this February 9, 2006 meeting subject to review by town legal counsel and town engineer and be it further

 

RESOLVED that the Town Board has reviewed the Wal-Mart site plan and acknowledges the locations of the proposed new water and sewer easement areas and abandonment of existing water line.  Upon completion of such improvements and the Town Engineer’s confirmation of such completion, the town agrees to accept easements for such new utilities and to execute and necessary document to abandon the prior water line easement area and be it further

 

RESOLVED that the Town Engineer is authorized to complete discussions with Wal-Mart representatives on the amount and form of appropriate letter of credit for public improvements to be installed on the Wal-Mart premises and be it further

FEBRUARY 9, 2006

 

RESOLVED that the Town Supervisor, Town Attorney and Town Engineer are authorized and directed to take all necessary and appropriate action to implement the intent of these resolutions.

MOTION BY NAWROCKI, SECONDED BY MCEWEN

ROLL CALL VOTE:  KENYON ABSENT, MAUL ABSENT, MC EWEN AYE,

NAWROCKI AYE, HAMMOND AYE MOTION CARRIED

 

Due to DOT now allowing Wal-Mart to do a road cut to correct the storm drainage problem east of the project, the storm drainage line improvement project could be submitted as a separate permit.  Boring under the road will require wetland permits that could hold up the Wal-Mart project timeline.  Since this was not part of Wal-Mart’s storm water management facility, it can be addressed as a separate issue.

 

RESOLUTION NO. 56 (06) WAL-MART DRAINAGE

BE IT RESOLVED that if all other avenues are exhausted that Wal-Mart be allowed to put funds in escrow subject to Town Engineer’s and Town Attorney’s approvals to cover all costs of the 24” culvert pipe under Route 31 as requested by the Town Engineer and Planning Board associated with the Wal-Mart project on Route 31 and Wayneport Road.

(j)   The creation of material demand for other actions that would result in one or the above consequences;

 

(k)      Changes in two or more elements of the environment, no one of which has a significant impact on the environment, but when considered together result in a substantial adverse impact on the environment; or

 

(l)      Two or more related actions undertaken, funded or approved by an agency, none of which has or would have a significant impact on the environment, but when considered cumulatively would meet one or more of the criteria of this subdivision.

(b)   Likely to be undertaken as a result thereof, or

 

(c)   Dependent thereon.
