Members of the Public Present: Scott Sherwood and Bob Winans. Privilege of the floor: None. Minutes Review: (August 16th): Minutes for the August 16th meeting were approved. Business Sketch Plan Conference: SHH Properties, LLC, proposes to add camping sites to Spruce Row Campground located at 2271 Kraft Rd, Town of Ulysses, Tax Parcel # 26.0-01-05.002. The property is located in Development District One. Project engineer Bob Winans gave details for an installation of 60 new campsites at the Spruce Row Campground. Board members asked about wetland protection and traffic. Some residents who live near Spruce Row spoke about noise and traffic concerns. Mr. Winans said the plan for the new sites complies with standards set in Development District One, where Spruce Row is located. He added that the plan meets County Health and Sewer requirements and includes a leach field to be installed. In response to questions he noted that the leach field will be down- slope from the wetland. Ms. Schneider said she was concerned that the new sites would be too close to the edges of Willow Creek. Ulysses zoning requires a buffer zone of 25 feet from all the edges of ephemeral creeks and 50 feet from all. She added that installing campsites would increase noise, electricity, pipes – all too close to a wetland. Mr. Sherwood pointed out that the wetland is within the Development District. Ms. Schneider then asked for, and Mr. Winans promised, a wetland survey of the area before any subdivision is approved. Mr. Angie echoed Ms. Schneider’s concerns about the buffer zone; both stated they would like to see other locations for the new campsites, as well as more information on how the sites would increase traffic and waste. Mr. Bent asked questions the possible increase in traffic in and out of the campground and noise levels of the campground’s entertainment (Spruce Row does host concerts and other events throughout the summer). He added he has heard good things about Spruce Row. Following the Board discussion, several residents living near Spruce Row spoke to the proposal. Their issues included increase in traffic – one resident noted that the “out-of-staters” don’t bother to move over for pedestrians on Dubois Road, water shortage – wells in the area have run dry, and noise from concerts and other activities at the camp site. More information will be presented at the next Board meeting, October 5th.
