PB 7-27-23 Approved 2 53 Pinckney Road - resumes sketch review from last month. Applicant revised site plan to address fire department access concerns. See attached revised site plan where they move the fence back 10 feet and move the storage units to create a minimum 28-foot-wide access lane. The Board discussed this with Tim Huber one of the owners of Bolt Storage (on Zoom). They reviewed the new Site Plan, which allows for more space for a better turnaround for any emergency vehicles. T. Salerno moves to approve this with Standard Conditions. And to waive full Site Plan based on the second set of submissions that addresses the fire department concerns. Motion: T. Salerno Second: C. Anderson All in favor – Yes 300 Lower Creek Road - SPR under Code Section 270-6.7 - Under Code Section 270-6.7 an applicant can site up to 4 dwellings on a single lot subject to SPR. The application is for 3 dwellings to be constructed on a 4.34-acre lot at 300 Lower Creek Road. Due to acreage and frontage, it is determined that this lot is capable of being subdivided into 3 lots and meets the criteria specified in 270-6.7. The Board discusses with the owner/ builder Z. Joe Klimkiewicz • Concerns how will this project meet or exceed NYS Energy code? Answer – for Building Codes it has to comply, also it will be all electric. No propane or natural gas. Electric heat pump, all energy efficient Star Rated appliances. Using high density spray foam with R28 volume insulation and R60 insulation in the attic. • The SEAF is incomplete #4, 10, & 11 need more clarification. No dimensions on the plans as to where the wells, septic and driveways will be. • Will need almost a full SWPPP • The Board says the list of 30 questions should be answered. • The Board finds this to be an incomplete application. • Applicant to return next month with more complete sketch. 2207 Dryden Road - A retail business is proposed at the intersection of RT 13 and Irish Settlement Road in the MUC district where it is an allowed use with SPR. Although the business type is not specified in the application, we may reasonably expect public interest in this. Code Section 270-11.4 B. allows the PB to call a public hearing so we may want to conduct sketch review, verify type of business anticipated (needed info to establish traffic impacts, etc.), then schedule a public hearing to conduct a full SPR. PB 7-27-23 Approved 3 The Board discusses with the agent for the project Marty Mosley and views site plan and images submitted. • A Marijuana Dispensary (a retail business) • Concern on change of traffic patterns. A plan for opening expects heavy traffic. • More parking suggested. • Exterior lighting, signage, hours of operation. • Security and fencing. • This is an allowed use, no public hearing required. • Existing site since around 2005, re-establishing site no changes, SWPPP not needed. • Septic existing • No modifications to the building at this time, meets existing energy codes for that time. PB finds application incomplete and applicant is to return with more complete sketch next month Ezra Village Resolution: Motion to rescind Resolution #8 of 6-22-23 with the following to replace it.
