Davidson - Aye Larry Sharpsteen - Aye Dean Shea - Aye Deborah Trumbull - Aye Page 12 of 15 APPROVED Thomas Butler,Alternate-Aye Al Fiorille,Vice-Chair - Aye Received and filed in the Lansing Town Clerk's Office Vice Chair Al Fiorille mentioned that the Public Hearing for Osmica/Kurt Martin project is still open. Public Hearing Continued - Osmica/Kurt Martin- SEQRA & Site Plan Review-59 Emmons Road. Requesting a Bed &Breakfast in the existing farmhouse &to convert Main Barn to an Reception Venue with Additional Parking. Tax Parcel #P/O 23.4-6.32 Kurt Martin &Allison Trdan approached Planning Board to discuss project changes - The Planning Board Meeting on 2-25-2019 owners of Osmica submitted a revised application to clarify the project uses and building uses along with an SEAF form generated from the EAF Mapper from the DEC website rather than the initial one filled out by hand. The original information matched the EAF Mapper. - Submitted revised site plan: Kurt consulted with an engineer from TG Miller who had a few recommendations. 1. Added a dash line on the outside of the parking lot with an arrow pointing in the direction of the drainage. The parking lot drainage is going to the south, which is consistent with existing topography. The runoff from the parking area will drain to the existing shallow swale,further to the south that goes around the garden. 2. Narrowed the parking area by 5 feet to account for the area of the drainage swale, thus keeping the ground disturbance less than an acre. 3. Previously site plan showed two path options from the parking lot. They chose the most direct path from the parking area to the main barn. 4. The utility trenches were previously shown as 2' wide that has been increased to 4' in width. This will allow the material to be set to the side as they are installing. The removed dirt will be pushed back in the trench after the utilities are installed. 5. A few short link tie offs from the main utility line to go between the barn to the septic and between the solar array and the pole barn. The cables from the pole barn will go underneath the parking area and will come out by the transformer. 6. Parking spaces 1-5 are shifted north, a bit to reflect the distribution of the existing gravel area. 7. Added contours to the map to show the planning board the natural slopes of the property. 8. Added the notes on the side of the main plan to reflect all of these changes above. Updated the area-disturbed calculations on the plans and include the disturbance of the new trees. Please note that parking spaces 1-11 are existing parking areas Page 13 of 15 APPROVED Board requests additional plantings along the road area to block lights from the parking area for the neighbors and cars on the road. - Allison & Kurt will plant Lilac or Forsythia bushes between the new power pole and tree 37. - The business is mainly a B&B with the option to host seasonal events. - The gravel parking lot is not intended to be used during the winter. - There is a small sign for parking just under tree 37. - The board is requesting an exit sign from the parking area stating"No Right Turn' in hopes of directing everyone to the highway. There is no consequence if they take a right turn and it will not be policed. It will be to strongly detour the majority from turning right and mitigate one of the concerns of the neighbors. - Due to the lengthy process of site plan, the barn renovations will be pushed into 2020 increasing the need to allow the second tent site to be available for use into 2020. The tent will only be set up when a customer schedules an event. There will only be one Event at any given time, so only one tent will be set up at any given time. The need for the tent site by the driveway is only in case they are working on the south side of the main barn. If an extension were needed into 2021, the owners would have to come back for another site plan review. - This site is different from the Ridge Road Wedding Event center. Owners will be living onsite running a bed &breakfast and they want the option to Host Events on their property. It is an unknown how busy they are going to get. - Owners are exploring options for the pasture area behind the project. Some ideas could include animals, plantings of their own or leasing out to be farmed. - Kurt confirmed to the board that the area to the east of the western tent site is a garden plot that is unlabeled on the plan and not available as a tent site. - Kurt stated that the idea of planting additional trees to the east of the parking lot to extend the line of new trees south to the pin shown on the map would make tractor access to the barn south of the parking area impractical. The board pointed out that access could be made through the existing pasture by adding gates. Public Comments -Floor is open for concerns on Osmica Site Plan Sixteen neighbors made comments. Those that were handed in are on the Town Website under Planning Board Current Docs. Summary of concerns: - Drainage Concerns - All the neighbors seem to have flooding issues on their properties with every major storm. Concerns that the issues will be even worse. - Noise Concerns -They are used to quite nights and concerned the music will disrupt the neighborhood. - Traffic Concerns -A few neighbors voiced concerns of possible increased traffic down the east side of Emmons Road.
