REGULAR MEETING
The Regular Meeting of the Town of Cortlandville Planning Board was called to order -by
Chairperson Katherine Wickwire at 7:30 p.m.
OLD BUSINESS
Steve Terwilliger, Applicant/John McGee, Reputed Owner - NYS Route 13 - TM #105.00-01-
44.000 - Sketch Plan Conference for Subdivision, Site -Plan & Aquifer Protection District
Special Permit - Proposed Office Building
Chair Wickwire recognized the applicant who stated he is purchasing this parcel of land from the
owner to construct a professional office building which will contain his real estate agency,
presently located on Homer Avenue in the City of Cortland (Seven Valley Realty). There will be a
portion of the building available to lease. He also would like to obtain ingress/egress from this lot
to the adjacent lot where his son proposes to construct a convenience store w/fueling services
(previously approved by the Town of Virgil Planning Board) in order to lessen the traffic from Webb
Road. He would like to have the requested entrance off Route 13 service both parcels.
Chair Wickwire asked where the entrance to the Virgil parcel was shown, and the applicant
indicated same. Member Chris Newell asked Mr. Terwilliger if he had met with the NYSDOT, and
he responded that he had met with them, but nothing has been granted; however, the NYSDOT,
he stated, has to give him access to the property. He plans to install a pylon sign on the gas
station site, but doesn't know if there will be one at the Route 13 office building entrance.
Mr. Terwilliger stated that if the NYSDOT would not let him use the Route 13 entrance to access
both parcels, then he would go back to the original plan which utilized Webb Road for the
proposed store and fueling station. Construction of the store/fueling station is planned for this
year.
Chair Wickwire asked the applicant when the Board could expect a complete set of plans for the
proposed professional building. She advised that the Board needed the plans which should
include what the building would look like, giving architectural features, type of construction,
proposed signage, landscaping, etc. PZO Weber asked Mr. Terwilliger if he had anything
"preliminarily" from NYSDOT as to whether this location will be acceptable; if not, the applicant
should find out if this location is feasible. Also, will the delivery tanker trucks come in off of Route
13 via the subject site entrance? Mr. Terwilliger could not answer that, but he would like to
reserve the right to come off from Webb Road. Regarding a Stormwater Plan, the applicant stated
he did not think one would be needed as the amount of land to be disturbed is smaller than
10,000 SF.

(T) Cortlandville Planning Board Regular Meeting Minutes 25 January 2011
Member Nick Renzi asked if he had responded to the NYSDOT's letter and the applicant responded
he had not. Chair Wickwire advised that the Town Planning Board can't tell the applicant what to
do, but they need to see exactly what your plans are. Mr. Terwilliger stated he had talked with the
NYSDOT relative to the plan that he submitted to the Board. * PZO Weber stated that, in his quick
review, he thought the applicant would be over the 10,000 SF, so a SWPPP would be required. Mr.
Terwilliger said he would have his engineer, Tim Buhl,, address this issue.
Member Renzi again reminded the applicant that this Board would like. a complete site plan with
architectural features of the building, and to "pin down" the location of the future access drive.
Mr. Terwilliger stated he would like Route 13 to be the main access. Chair Wickwire did not think
he needed both entrances. The applicant advised the Board that the Town ' of Virgil has already
approved the proposed gas station/store with Webb Road access, and he would like to keep that.
The Webb Road access, he said, also feeds building lots next to the gas station/store lot, so it
would be there regardless.
Since the NYSDOT had requested that they be apprised of items regarding the subject, PZO Weber
asked Mr. Terwilliger if he would like him to preliminarily forward the application (and what has
been submitted) to the NYSDOT, and the applicant responded he thought that would be' okay.
Chair Wickwire asked if a traffic study had been done, and Mr. Terwilliger responded that it had.
Chair Wickwire concluded that Mr. Terwilliger should come back before this Board with a Site
Plan, architectural features, stormwater management system, landscaping, and a NYSDOT
response with regard to the proposed professional building's location. She then reviewed the
Town's checklist with the applicant, who had been provided a copy; there was nothing on the list
that should be indicated as "no," she advised. PZO Weber asked Mr. Terwilliger to have his
engineer call him regarding the stormwater system.
No Action Taken.
NEW BUSINESS
APD Enaineerine. Auulicant/Walmart Stores East. Reouted Owner NYS Route 13 (Walmart
Supercenter Site) - So. Cortland - TM #105.00-01-22.211 - Onsite StoraLle
Member Renzi stated there were three things that needed to be clarified regarding this site: (1)
where snow was being stored, (2) where snow removal equipment was stored, and (3) the storage
of baled cardboard at the back of the building. In accordance with the approved Site Plan, the
storage location of the baled cardboard was okay. Chair Wickwire thought the view of the piled
cardboard from the Kmart site was objectionable, although it is placed in accordance with the
approved Site Plan.
Member Renzi read a letter from Todd Markewicz (sp) who stated that they concurred with Pat
Reidy of County Soil & Water regarding the locations of snow storage, particularly with regard to
snow "overflow." A copy of this letter has been placed on file for the record. Member Renzi
commented that he thought what Walmart was doing was satisfactory; he would not change the
Site Plan.
Regarding the snow equipment, Walmart would store it elsewhere if the
issue was aesthetics. Member Renzi thought that it could be moved if it
would not inconvenience the snow removal; but if it did, it could stay
where it was as it was not that bad.

summary of actions. The Board members appreciated all of Nick's efforts to track these permits.
The Board agreed to review Nick's log and discuss it at the Board's next meeting.

Permit - ProDosed Office Building
(Reference is made to the Planning Board's Minutes of 25 January 2011 for previous information.)
Chair Wickwire recognized the applicant was returning before the Board regarding his proposed
professional office building to be constructed on this site. She asked Mr. Terwilliger if he had
heard anything from the NYSDOT; he responded that he had not contacted the DOT since the 25
January 2011 meeting of this Board. PZO Weber affirmed that he had forwarded the materials he
had received to the NYSDOT, as requested by the applicant at the January meeting. PZO Weber
stated that the NYSDOT has not indicated what their issues are until they have an application.
They are aware of the project because they have received the materials from Town PZO, but until
an application is made to, the NYSDOT by the applicant, they will not react. Mr. Terwilliger stated
he has made an application, but has not talked with them since. He stated he has completed the
30 items on the checklist supplied to him by PZO Weber/Town Board. Chair Wickwire stated that
those were the things that the Planning Board requires, but they need to know if the NYSDOT is
going to allow a curb cut where shown on his plan; this would make a big difference.
Im
(T) Cortlandville Planning Board Regular Meeting Minutes 22 February 2011 .
Mr. Terwilliger stated that he understood from the last meeting that he was supposed to return
before this Board with the 30 items on the checklist completed; he has done this. He added that
he thought PZO Weber was going to "send the stuff' to the DOT. PZO Weber responded that he
had indicated "that I would forward to the DOT your plan, but that was for informational purposes
for them; it's not for the Town to make an application, so you needed to make your application to
DOT so that you could come back to this Board and say `I've made my application, here's what
DOT is saying,' or they are reviewing it." The applicant then responded that he could do that, and
the NYSDOT had communicated to him that they have to provide a cut to that property. He also
wants to be able to have ingress/egress to the adjacent parcel where he has been approved by the
Town of Virgil to construct a fueling station/ convenience store. This would bel better, he stated,
for the Webb Road neighbors. He stated that he will bring in a traffic study for the Board.
Member Renzi thought that the Planning Board "really needs to see the DOT comments." Chair
Wickwire added that she didn't think anything could be done by the County without having a
report from the DOT.
Chair Wickwire asked about landscaping; Mr. Terwilliger indicated where shrubbery would be
placed—in front of the building and some along the back line. Member. Renzi stated he would like
to see more details on the building; they would not like another Essex Steel building.
Chair Wickwire stated that the applications could be sent to the Cortland County Planning
Department for their review once the DOT report is received. Member Renzi stated he would like
to wait and see (1) the DOT's comments, (2) the design of the stormwater management system, (3)
good architectural details on the building, (4) elimination of the sign on the roof, (5) the traffic
study, and (5) the landscaping plan. PZO Weber commented that, normally, at this stage, the
stormwater system is not done until further along; then, that info is forwarded to Pat Reidy of
County Soil & Water for his review. Comments from County Planning need to be received in order
for this Board to proceed. ,
Chair Wickwire stated that everything will be forwarded to County Planning when the requested
information has all been received.
Neighbors were present as they were concerned about traffic created by the adjacent proposed gas
station project which is in the Town of Virgil. Chair Wickwire advised them that the proposed
applications would be coming back to the Board after the County's review.
No Action Taken.
NEW BUSINESS
David Marin. Auulicant/Franklin Paro. Reputed Owner - 3716 US Route 11 - TM #105.00-01-
22.211 - Conditional Permit for Storage Trailer
Chair Wickwire recognized Mr. Marin who had placed a storage trailer (the trailer portion of a
tractor -trailer) he had purchased on the subject property without obtaining a Conditional Permit
(as shown on the sketch accompanying the application); he did not realize he had to do so until he
received a letter from CEO Tom Williams. He stated that he is a contractor who previously stored
his materials, etc. in a carport -type building on the site, but it was flooded, damaging his
supplies, and he needed to get everything up off the ground. The property, he indicated on the
application, is in the flood plain. Mr. Marin lives in a portion of Mr. Paro's main residence.
Chair Wickwire recognized Mr. Harter, the immediate neighbor to the rear of the Paro property.
He stated that he didn't mind if Mr. Marin had the trailer, but he doesn't like where it is as he had
to look at that storage trailer every day. Chair Wickwire told him that storage trailers such as this
- are not allowed without a permit. Mr. Marin was asked if the storage trailer could be moved, and
he answered that it could, but the neighbor has other windows to look out, it's -not on his
property, it's over 12 feet from his property line, and it's in no one's way. Mr. Harter reiterated
Page 2 of 2
M
(T) Cortlandville Planning Board Regular Meeting Minutes 22 February 2011
that he did not like looking at it. Chair Wickwire stated that if the storage trailer is infringing
upon his neighbor(s) it has to go unless it's moved.
Having the storage trailer utilized as a temporary fix was , discussed, but the applicant did not
want a temporary solution. Chair Wickwire -offered to give the applicant three months to have the
storage trailer on the property, then move it or sell it. Mr. Marin stated he did not realize it was
going to be an issue.
Town Attorney Folmer advised the -Planning_ Board that they needed to make it very clear that it is
a violation to have the storage trailer there without a Conditional Permit.
At the conclusion of a very -long discussion,,a motion was made by Member Newell to deny
the Conditional Permit for .the existing storage trailer, with said trailer to be removed by 31
May 2011. - The motion was seconded by Member Renzi, with the vote recorded as follows:

Conditional Permit for Propane Storage Tanks
Chair Wickwire recognized the applicant who was seeking a Conditional Permit to store propane
tanks on the property which is occupied by his business, J. B. Smith Heating & Air Conditioning.
He also had a "future" plan of a 30,000 -gallon tank or two 18,000 -gallon tank. The existing
smaller tanks, he stated, are empty; all tanks are/will be located as shown on the sketch
accompanying the application.

(T) Cortlandville Planning Board Regular Meeting Minutes 29 March 2011
{ Member Nick Renzi commented that when Mr. Smith came before the Board for approval of his
business at this location, he did not indicate that there would be any propane/propane tanks to
be stored on the property; therefore, he was requested to come before this Board for a Conditional
Permit to do so.
Mr. Smith advised that there were quite a few more tanks there at present (20± 500 -gallon) than
he would normally have. His business sets tanks up to fuel the furnaces, etc., that he installs.
He has the tanks filled with propane by truck; eventually, he would like to fill his own tanks. In
the future, the large tanks would be set on concrete saddles. He will be going over insurance
requirements with PZO Weber, he stated.
When asked the maximum number of empty tanks he would like to have on the subject site, Mr.
Smith responded a maximum of six large tanks and ten of the smaller tanks. Chair Wickwire
advised the applicant that, when he was ready, he should return before the Board before installing
the 30,000 -gallon or two 18,000 -gallon tanks. PZO Weber stated that the tanks should be
somewhat screened from view by placing them in back of his building. Member Renzi commented
that the tanks should be fenced in.
At the conclusion of the discussion, a motion was made by Member Chris Newell to approve
the Conditional Permit for a maximum of 10 large propane tanks and 15 smaller propane
tanks, as requested, with the tanks to be neatly placed behind the building. The motion was
seconded by Member Renzi, with the vote recorded as follows:

Cortland Wood Products. LLC, Avvlicant/Revuted Owner - McLean Road - TM #95.16-01-
01.000 - Site Plan - Provosed Shade Tarns
Chair Wickwire recognized Steve Servies, representing the applicant who was seeking approval to
construct large shade tarps, as shown on the drawings accompanying the application. The
purpose of these tarps, which can be drawn open and shut like household curtains, is to protect
outdoor lumber storage from the sun which discolors the wood (especially hard maple). Chair
Wickwire asked how these would affect residents of nearby Lamont Circle. Mr. Servies stated the
tarps were placed very tightly, secured by steel cables, and would not flap in the wind.

Cortlandville Crossing. LLC. Applicant/Reputed Owner - NYS Route 13 (so. of Applebee's) -
TM #95.20-02-06.000 - Site Plan & Aquifer Protection District Special Permit - Proposed
Building
Chair Wickwire recognized Adam Heindel of EXCEL Engineering, Inc. (Wisconsin) who gave a slide
show presentation of what was being proposed at this location, namely a 12,889 SF building that
will be utilized for mixed use building/retail with up to six tenants possible. There are 121
parking stalls proposed, with five of those being handicapped. A dumpster enclosure will be
located at the northeast corner of the project, and a drive-thru will be constructed along the north
side of the building. The building's construction will consist of masonry and EIFS exterior. All
plans had been supplied to the Planning Board. The actual developer would be Banyan Tree
Property Management
Member Newell asked about traffic flow patterns with particular reference to the drive-thru end.
Mr. Heindel stated that Cortlandville Crossing is a separate development, and he explained the
traffic pattern to the Board. He stated that the two existing pylon signs would be removed and
replaced with one large pylon. They also propose two monument signs, and others, as shown on
the plans. Variances will be requested for the signage.
Utilities were discussed, and it is estimated they will be required to have an onsite fire hydrant.
The landscaping plan was displayed, along with a site lighting plan. Mr. Heindel advised that
Aspen Dental will be occupying the western end of the proposed building; at this time they are the
only known tenant. A sample of the building's exterior was shown to the Board. Chair Wickwire
thought that the Board should have a drawing showing what the proposed building would look
like, including architectural details, correct color, and landscaping planned. Mr. Heindel agreed to
supply this drawing. PZO Weber asked Mr. Heindel if consideration was given to moving the
building closer to the road. Mr. Heindel responded that it was looked at, but more weight was
given to being consistent with the setbacks of the neighboring businesses. Member Renzi
commented that the drawings were very good. He had, however, prepared a list of comments
regarding his review of the plans, said comments being reviewed by the Board and then placed on
file for the record.
PZO Weber advised that a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan was not required because there is
no increase in impervious area. However, the Board would like the plans to be reviewed by Patrick
Reidy of Cortland County Soil & Water; there needs to be a $500 fee from the applicant.
Mr. Heindel stated that the owner of the proposed developer, Philip Philippou (Garden City, NY),
had made a comment just today about phasing the building, constructing just the Aspen Dental
facility first and adding the other five units later. Regarding Member Newell's comment about the
appearance of the proposed building looking bland, Mr. Heindel stated that the perspectives were
not colored correctly and did not reflect how it would actually look. Chair Wickwire commented it
would be better to have drawings showing the correct color.
At the conclusion of a lengthy discussion, a motion was made by Member Renzi to forward the
applications for Site Plan Approval and an Aquifer Protection District Special Permit to the
Cortland County Planning Department for their review/ recommendations. The motion was
seconded by Member Newell, with the vote recorded as follows:

Chair Wickwire recognized the owner, Greg Leach, who was seeking approval to construct a 48 ft.
by 54 ft. pole barn addition at the east end of his cold storage building to house their corrugated
cardboard baling operation. He also would like to construct a 20 ft. by 68 ft. Essex Steel roof on
the south side of the transfer station, and place 4300±" SF of asphalt at the rear (easterly) end of
their existing shop building. Mr. Leach stated that he is pursuing the purchase of a coal delivery
business which he would operate from his property, storing the bulk coal inside an existing five -
bay cold storage building which has an existing 14 -ft. wide concrete pad for loading coal and to
prevent seepage. He is also interested in the storage and resale of road salt, and will utilize this
same building for that. There would be no floor drains. Everything meets the APDP requirements,
he stated.
Chair Wickwire then read aloud Part II of the Short Environmental Assessment Form. Negative
responses were obtained to all questions in Part II. "

Steve Terwilliger, Applicant/John McGee, Reputed Owner - NYS Route 13 - TM #105.00-01-
44.000 - Continued Review - Subdivision, Site Plan & Aquifer Protection District Special
Permit - Proposed Office Building
(Reference is made to the Minutes of the 1/ 25 / 11 and 2 / 22 / 11 Town Planning Board meetings for
further information/ progress.)
Chair Wickwire recognized the applicant who reported that he was returning before this Board as
he had received an email from the NYSDOT today. PZO Weber stated that he had not received a
copy of the subject email. Mr. Terwilliger reported that the NYSDOT lady who was preparing a
letter had gone on vacation and will not return until tomorrow; therefore, Tim Buhl, PE, his
engineer, had received an email "from her boss"(Mark Grainer) and he had made some copies for
the PZO and Board members. A copy of this email has been placed on file for the record.
The email was provided "to reach out to the Town and propose a get-together meeting to discuss
future access along NYS Route 13 south of South Cortland -Virgil Road." It also requested that the
t
�,
JUN 2 7 2011
(T) Cortlandville Planning Board Regular Meeting Minutes 26 April 2011
'-- Town include the DOT as an involved agency in the SEQR process on the subject project. Mr.
�. Grainer concluded his email with " ... the letter should be in the mail by the end of the week."
Chair Wickwire commented that the email does not say anything else about the proposed office
building project.
Member Renzi asked the applicant what he had provided to the NYSDOT, and Mr. Terwilliger
stated that he had sent copies of maps and remarked that the DOT had lost the first set. He
added that he had to file for a Building Permit with the Town of Virgil "by sometime in June." In
the meantime, he hopes that he will receive a formal written response from the DOT regarding the
subject project's ingress/egress for his (T)Virgil project (convenience store w/fueling facility) from
NYS Route 13 which, at present, is approved for Webb Road.
Chair Wickwire again requested a landscape plan. The applicant stated it was on the map, and he
had given his engineer a list of what the Planning Board had requested, and the items requested
had been added to the plan dated 7 February 2011, which had also been submitted to the
NYSDOT. Chair Wickwire added that if the NYSDOT did not like the plan, then everything could
change. Mr. Terwilliger stated that he would be willing to extend his roadway to the adjacent
property line to the east, "trading off the Webb Road entrance for the Route 13 entrance." The
NYSDOT prefers service roads so that any entrance off Route 13 would serve more than one
property. Town Attorney Folmer asked if the plan submitted to the NYSDOT indicated both an
entrance off Route 13 and off Webb Road; the applicant responded that it did.
Mr. Terwilliger asked that his plans. be forwarded to the Cortland County Planning Department for
their review. Member Newell stated it would be better to submit everything all at once: complete
plans, stormwater plan, etc. PZO Weber stated that the stormwater plan could be a "contingency."
But if the DOT doesn't grant the access where shown on the plan, then it changes the Site Plan
—� with regard to different issues that County Planning may raise; however, the Town Planning Board
has the ability to resubmit it to the County if that occurs.
Mr. Terwilliger added that he had an earlier conversation this week with the DOT (regarding
entrances/exits on Route 13) who had told him they said "we really can't tell you because we want
to know what's going to happen with the rest of the properties." He then commented that he
didn't own the rest of the properties. He stated that's why the DOT wants to meet with the Town
to "discuss how you are going to handle it." Chair Wickwire responded, "We don't handle it. DOT
handles it." She commented that the applicant has to handle it by showing the DOT what he
wants and then asking if it would be approved or not.
Chair Wickwire advised Mr. Terwilliger that she would like to see a better building. Mr. Terwilliger
stated it was a regular commercial building that was wood frame with vinyl siding. Chair
Wickwire asked if he couldn't do something "to dress it up.
At the conclusion of this extensive discussion, a motion was made by Member Newell to send
the applications for Subdivision, Site Plan Approval, and an Aquifer Protection District
Special Permit for the proposed office building to the Cortland County Planning Department
for their review, with a letter from the NYSDOT to be forwarded to them when it is received.
The motion was seconded by Member Elizabeth Ambrose, with the vote recorded as follows:
Ayes: Chairperson Wickwire Nays: None

Mr. Smith had received a Conditional Permit for a maximum of 10 large propane tanks and 15
smaller propane tanks, as requested, with the tanks to be neatly placed behind the building. He
now wants to increase the tank storage to a maximum of 20 large (500 -gallon) and 20 small (100 -
gal. & 48 -gal.) propane tanks, as shown on the plan. Mr. Smith stated that most of the tanks will
be gone once the cold weather starts.
The Board discussed possible screening, dumpster location, etc. Chair Wickwire asked if he could
come back in June with a plan showing a fence, perhaps a stockade type to hide the tanks, tank
locations, etc.
At the -conclusion of the discussion, a motion was made by Member Newell .to approve the
Conditional Permit/Revised Site Plan for a maximum of 20 large and 20 small propane

Mixed Use/RetailBuilding
(Reference is made to the Town Planning Board Minutes of 29 March 2011 for additional
information.)
Chair Wickwire recognized Adam Heindel of EXCEL Engineering, Inc. (Wisconsin) who returned
before the Board for continued review of this project. Last month, the Board forwarded the
applications/ plans to the County Planning Department for their review; the County's response has
been received.
Mr. Heindel stated that the owner wants to do the proposed six -unit strip mall in phases, starting
with the Aspen Dental facility (5,000 SF). He gave out preliminary drawing C1.2 of 4/8/11 which
showed the first phase. He also brought exterior samples which the Board looked at, preferring
the "red." In response to Member Renzi's question, Mr. Heidel stated that they had received a
letter of intent from Aspen Dental.
The Board then reviewed the proposed traffic pattern for this development with specific regard to
Contingency Item # 5 contained in the County Planning Department's Resolution No. 11-09 (date
not provided). Chair Wickwire felt it was "confusing." Member Renzi went over the Town's "green
space" requirements with Mr. Heindel, the architect. Impervious area was discussed. PZO Weber
stated that there would be no increase in the impervious area; in fact, green space is being added.
If his interpretation is challenged, it would be a matter to go before the ZBA. He has discussed his
interpretation with both Dan Dineen and Pat Reidy. Town Attorney Folmer felt that PZO Weber's
interpretation was done the appropriate way.
Chair Wickwire continued review of the County Planning Board's recommendations. Mr. Heindel
stated that the applicant intended to meet all of them. He also reported that he will have
everything for next month's meeting and will address all contingencies/ recommendations made in
the County's report. He added that the owner hasn't decided about other units/tenants at this
time.

Chair Wickwire recognized Daniel McIlwain of HEP Sales, appearing before the Board to request
the storage of outside storage as they have had before. Member Renzi asked if the lumber could
be moved so that it is not so visible; Mr. McIlwain replied that it was "not there right now."
However, he wanted to keep the existing product storage. Height of lumber pile(s) was discussed.
Mr. McIlwain stated that it did not have to be that high. Chair Wickwire commented that the
Planning Board was trying to "green up" the area and make the entrance coming into the Town
more attractive; she suggested maybe giving the applicant until October to see how the subject
site is kept. The Board suggested that the applicant return for the July meeting with a plan
describing what they want to do, making it presentable; then they will discuss it at that time.

stations "across the street." PZO Weber advised that they will need to check with the County
Health Department regarding compliance with fuel storage requirements.
The construction yard will operate six days per week. Member Bugh advised that the adjacent
motel (Day's Inn) has an agreement with nearby Suit Kote to not start before 7 a.m. Chair
Wickwire advised that the subject site should be restored to its original condition when no longer
needed.
At the conclusion of a brief discussion, a motion was made by Member Renzi to approve the

OTHER MATTERS
✓ Cortland Pump: Member Renzi stated that this site, which has outside storage of tanks and
gas pumps, is across the street from Walden Place. He asked if that was allowed. PZO Weber
stated that he would look at their file to determine if their application indicated outside
storage. Chair Wickwire asked that the owner should be asked to come in. PZO Weber added
that, if it was not allowed, the owner should come before the Board.
✓ Conditional Permits: Member Renzi made a suggestion that when the Board approves a
Conditional Permit, perhaps a memo indicating the Board's stipulations should be sent to the
applicant. PZO Weber responded that, sometimes, the applicants ask for a copy of the
Minutes, and a copy of that portion of the Minutes pertaining to a particular action is kept in
the appropriate file. Town Attorney Folmer commented that this could present a problem due
to the possibility of discrepancies between the memo and the actual Minutes. The staff her
does not need to do more memos.
✓ Walmart: Member Renzi stressed the importance of sampling the four wells at Walmart. He
stated that Walmart was very well organized and professional in performing the tests. The
lack of mowing the Walmart berms was indicated; Chair Wickwire stated that they do not look
good that way and should be mowed. Town Attorney Folmer stated he had received a
complaint about overnight parking in the Walmart parking lot, even though there is a sign
prohibiting this.
✓ Marin Storage Trailer in Polkville: Chair Wickwire acknowleged a letter received from Mr.
Marin, asking if there was any solution to his denial of allowing a storage trailer at the Paro
parcel.

Route 281 - TM #96.09-01-02.200 - Outside Storage
Chair Wickwire recognized David White of Grossman's who was appearing before the Board at the
request of PZO Weber regarding the business's product which was presently stored in the store's
parking lot. Mr. White stated that there is no room in the store for these seasonal items, and that
they will be gone by September. The units, he stated, are wrapped so they can't be stolen.
Chair Wickwire stated that there should be no outside storage, and next year the store should find
someplace else to keep it. Mr. White commented that it would be a hardship if the outside storage
is not allowed. PZO Weber suggested allowing the present storage only at this time, but not bring
in any additional product. Mr. White stated that he had other deliveries scheduled to come in.
Chair Wickwire suggested getting rid of seasonal things for this year until the end of August and
then everything should be gone.
After a brief discussion, a motion was made by Member Renzi to allow the applicant to have
existing outside storage until the end of August, and then the Town of Cortlandville
Planning Board will review what's planned for next year in this regard. The motion was

Leach Properties. LLC, Applicant/Gregory Leach, Reputed Owner - 1834 NYS Route 13N -
TM #77.00-04-10.000 - Revised Site Plan
Chair Wickwire recognized Greg Leach who stated he had been approved, in March, to construct a
48 ft. by 54 ft. building at the location shown on the original Site Plan. He now would like to
construct that building's south end closer to the property line that originally requested (to within
5.5 feet instead of 10.5 feet), in line with their mini storage facility. The reason, he stated in his
5 / 23 / 11 narrative was to "maximize our space."
After the Board's review of the Revised Site Plan, a motion was made by Member Newell to
approve the Revised Site Plan for the proposed pole barn addition and leanto on the south
side of the transfer station, as requested. The motion was seconded by Member Renzi, with

Steve Terwilliger. Avplicant/John McGee. Reputed Owner - NYS Route 13 - TM #105.00-01-
44.000 - Continued Review - Subdivision. Site Plan & Aauifer Protection District Special
Permit - Proposed Office Building
(Reference is made to the Minutes of the 1/25/11, 2/22/ 11 and 4/29/ 11 Town Planning Board
meetings for further information/ progress.)
Chair Wickwire reported that just today she had received a 31 May 2011 letter, addressed to her,
from Joseph Flint, PE, Acting Director, Planning & Program Management Group, NYS Department
of Transportation, Region 3 in Syracuse, a copy of which has been placed on file for the record.
The letter reiterated previous correspondence to Mr. Terwilliger, and then stated that "the Region is
of the opinion that the current submission is lacking of sufficient information to make a decision. As
such, and a requirement of a highway work permit, the Department is requesting a full build -out
scenario for the existing large parcel that will indicate proposed development and a vehicular access
plan for the site. If development is not planned, the scenario should utilize the maximums allowed
under current zoning." Mr. Terwilliger stated that he had not received a copy of this letter, so
Chair Wickwire let him read her copy; a copy was also provided to the applicant for his files.
Chair Wickwire advised that the DOT was looking for information on the balance of the 18 -acre
parcel. PZO Weber stated they were "looking for some kind of concept as to how development of
remaining land potentially will occur, and how that access can be tied into this access." Member
Renzi advised the applicant that he needed to talk with the DOT about what exactly they want and
what he could do. Mr. Terwilliger responded that he could show a service road to the boundary
line of his parcel into the McGee parcel. Chair Wickwire added that "we need something that says
exactly what you are going to do with regard to access."
Member Renzi asked the applicant to address the County Planning Department's concerns, in
writing. Chair Wickwire reminded Mr. Terwilliger that the Board still wanted a landscaping plan.
He was asked to come back before the Board when he had everything together.
No Action Taken.
David Marin. Avvlicant/Franklin Paro. Reputed Owner - 3716 US Route 11 - TM #105.00-01-
22.211 - 2/22/11 Denial of Conditional Permit for Storage Trailer
Chair Wickwire recognized the applicant who had requested that the Board review their 22
February 2011 decision to deny a Conditional Permit for the existing storage trailer, with said
trailer to be removed by 31 May 2011. (Reference is made to those Minutes.) Also accompanying
the applicant was Mr. Paro, the property's owner.
The subject trailer has been there since November of 2010, without the approval of the Planning
Board. Chair Wickwire stated that she understood why they purchased the trailer (because of
previous flooding of the applicant's building materials when stored at a lower elevation). Mr.
Marin thought the use of the storage trailer would be okay, when it is not allowed without a
4N 2 8 2011
(T) Cortlandville Planning Board Regular Meeting Minutes 31 May 2011
Conditional Permit. Mr. Paro, the owner who supports the use of the subject trailer, said that the
neighbor, Mr. Harter, who objected to its location, cannot see much of it.
PZO Weber stated that anything more than six foot is considered a structure and must adhere to
the setback requirements. He then advised that the applicant had options; there are things you
could discuss with the Planning Board, e.g., move the trailer to another location on the property or
put the trailer inside a structure. The applicant and owner were told they should first contact
Tom Williams, CEO, with regard to a permit for a structure. Then contact PZO Weber; the actual
use would need to be determined, and a site plan, etc. should be prepared and an application
made to this Board for approval of any structure that would be used for commercial use. A pole
barn would be a structure. PZO Weber stated that if the applicant constructed a structure 42 feet
long by 12 feet wide, the trailer could be backed into it, basically like a garage. PZO Weber said
that if the applicant/owner would stop in his office on 1 June 2011, he would assist them and go
over everything with them.
At the conclusion of the discussion, a motion was made by Member Newell to extend the
existing storage trailer removal time from 31 May 2011 to 31 July 2011. The motion was
seconded by Member Renzi, with the vote recorded as follows:
Ayes: Chairperson Wickwire Nays: None
Member Newell

Cortlandville Crossing. LLC. Applicant/Reputed Owner - NYS Route 13 (so. of Applebee's) -
TM #95.20-02-06.000 - Site Plan & Aquifer Protection District Special Permit - Proposed
Mixed Use/Retail Building
(Reference is made to the Town Planning Board Minutes of 29 March & 26 April 2011 for
additional information.)
Chair Wickwire recognized Adam Heindel of EXCEL Engineering, Inc. (Wisconsin) who returned
before the Board for continued review of this project. He stated that he has submitted revised
plans in accordance with the Cortland County Planning Department's suggestions contained in
their April 15, 2011 report to the County Planning Board, and all of their comments have beeen
addressed.
The Town Planning Board concluded that since the revisions were minor, there was no need to
resubmit the plans to County Planning again. Member Renzi stated that he would like a copy of
their Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and a Maintenance Plan.
Mr. Heindel also brought along updated material samples of the proposed exterior. He then,
again, reviewed the proposed traffic patterns, and explained the minor changes made to the
drawings. PZO Weber asked if there had been a decision made regarding the TSC's existing
outside storage, and Mr. Heindel stated it should remain "just about where it is now." He also
said that he had talked with the existing tenants, and they had no objection to what was being
planned.
Town Attorney Folmer then asked about a waterline easement; it is fine, but should provide that it
be constructed according to Town specifications and be accepted by the Town.
Member Renzi the applicant/rep to please respond, in writing, to the County Planning Board's
resolution. Mr. Heindel reported that a lease has been signed with Aspen Dental.

PZO Weber advised that Pat Reidy of County Soil & Water has already seen the Stormwater Plan
and agrees that is satisfactory.
At the conclusion of this discussion, a motion was made by Member Renzi to approve the Site
Plan for the proposed new mixed use/retail building, as requested, with a recommendation

Joanne Condron. Applicant/ Reputed Owner - 1554 & 1540 East River Road - TM #87.00-03-
02.000 - Subdivision of Land
Chair Wickwire recognized Attorney David Alexander, representing the applicant who was seeking
approval for a three -lot subdivision of her 134± acre parcel, as shown on the map accompanying
the application. It was noted that the Zoning Board of Appeals had just granted a variance for a
lot with an area less than allowed, as one of them was less than one acre.
A motion was made by Member Newell to approve the subdivision as requested. The motion
was seconded by Member Elizabeth Ambrose, with the vote recorded as follows:

David & Lori Law. Applicants/Robert Owen. Reputed Owner - NYS Route 41 (McGraw) - TM
#88.00-01-06.000 - Subdivision
Chair Wickwire recognized David Law who stated he had purchased 43± acres of land from the
owner, but Mr. Owen would like 2.65± acres back so a subdivision was needed, as shown on the
map accompanying the application. In response to PZO Weber's question, Mr. Law stated that he
had discussed the proposed subdivision dimensions with John Helgren of the County Health
Department.

59.200. 62.000 & 63.000 - Conditional Permit & Aquifer Protection District Special Permit
Chair Wickwire recognized RH President Richard Beebe and Attorney Patrick Snyder, representing
the applicant who was seeking a Conditional Permit to remove an existing residential structure
and construct a 6680 SF addition to its light industrial/ manufacturing facility with additional
accessory parking. At its previous meeting, the ZBA granted a variance for a light industrial use
in a Business District. The company's representatives stated they had reviewed County Planning's
report/ resolution and had no problem with their recommendations.
Regarding the accessory parking, Member Renzi stated that the parking spaces should be 10 ft. by
20 ft. Mr. Beebe said that he would provide a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, and that
there would be no floor drains, except in the bathroom. No toxic materials would b used.
Member Renzi also commented that the applicant should provide common names of landscaping
items. He also asked the applicant to green spaces on the plan, along with stormwater flow to the
two drywells. Lighting will be on the side of the building. All of the parcels will be combined into
one deed, according to Attorney Snyder. All of the contingencies/ recommendations contained in
the County Planning Board's Resolution No. 11-17 of 18 May 2011 were reviewed.
At the conclusion the discussion, a motion was made by Member Renzi to approve the
Conditional Permit to remove the existing residential structure and construct a 6680 SF
addition, with a recommendation made to the Town Board that they issue an Aquifer
Protection District Special Permit and act as Lead Agency under SEQRA. The motion was

NYS Route 13 (former Red Barn Ceramics) - TM #105.08-01-06.200 - Site Plan Review &
Aquifer Protection District Special Permit - Proposed Veterinary Offices
Chair Wickwire recognized Paul Coen, who introduced David Brandstadt and Ken Osborn,
representing the applicant who was seeking approval to move their large -animal veterinary clinic
into this building after it has been renovated. Midstate Veterinary Services has purchased the
property and plans to open as soon as possible.
Chair Wickwire informed the representatives that the Board would like a drawing showing what
the new facility would look like, including exterior color(s). Mr. Coen stated that the colors would
Z,

be Hunter green (roof) and khaki/beige walls with a knee -wall of stone. Member Renzi advised
that parking spaces should be 10 ft. by 20 ft., and the sign height should be limited to 8 feet. He
also commented on what else was needed on the plan.
At the conclusion the discussion, a motion was made by Member Renzi to send the
applications for Site Plan Approval and an Aquifer Protection District Special Permit of the
proposed new veterinary offices to the Cortland County Planning Department for their
review. The motion was seconded by Member Newell, with the vote recorded as follows:

Vision Resale Center, Avulicant/Wm. H. Porter Real Estate, Reuuted Owner - Groton Ave.
Plaza - TM #s 86.13-01-60.100 & 62.100 - Conditional Permit for Proposed Used Vehicle
Tent Sale
Chair Wickwire recognized Gary P., representing the applicant (a $5 million corporation) who was
seeking a Conditional Permit to conduct a used vehicle tent sale from 16 June through 26 June
2011 at the location indicated on the sketch plan accompanying the application. The proposed
area would be between the existing CoffeeMania and the "main buildings." He advised that this
was part of a marketing survey to see which marketing locations were viable. They have already
conducted these surveys in other areas and want to determine if they can "draw the people from
Ithaca and from as far away as 50 miles in all directions." They propose to bring in about 85 used
vehicles (driven individually from Binghamton) and erect a 20 ft. by 40 ft. tent which would be
utilized to conduct the actual sale, hoping to attract 100 potential buyers per day. A photocopy of
the tent to be used accompanied the application. Member Renzi stated that these tents do not
look very nice; Mr. P stated he would obtain a tent locally which would meet the Board's approval.
Additionally, Mr. P. stated that if this sale was successful, his company would work with the Town
to construct a multi-million dollar facility as a permanent business. Chair Wickwire advised the
representative that the Board needed to decide if the request was something they wanted to
approval at all.
Chair Wickwire asked about traffic on the site; the present parking lot "is a mess" she stated.
There are many holes and no designated driving lanes. There is traffic onsite entering and exiting
at CoffeeMania, Hannah's Flowers, plus the other businesses in the strip mall. Traffic goes every
which way and the lot is not conducive to this type of sale. PZO Weber commented that the
submitted drawing was really not accurate to what's in the field. Part of the Board's review is to
take into consideration vehicle and pedestrian safety. Member Elizabeth Ambrose thought that 85
vehicles would be "a lot of vehicles" to put in the proposed location.
Chair Wickwire suggested that the applicant come back with a different location. Mr. P. disagreed
with the Board's opinion that the problem was the size/condition of the parking lot and its lack of
designated driving lanes.
At the conclusion the discussion, a motion was made by Member Renzi to deny a
Conditional Permit for the proposed used vehicle tent sale, based upon traffic flow and the
condition of the parking lot. The motion was seconded by Member Ambrose, with the vote

recorded as follows:
Ayes: Chairperson Wickwire Nays: None
Member Newell
Member Renzi
Member Bugh
Member Ambrose
Motion carried.
This becomes Action #31 of 2011.
Mr. P. vehemently objected to the Board's action and asked for clarification "so he could testify in
court." PZO Weber advised, "Your denial was based on all of the information that you supplied the
Board ... You indicated 85 cars. If you came in here and said ten cars, maybe the decision would
have been different. But 85 cars is a lot of cars in that location and creating a lot of traffic. You
indicated you were looking to trying to get 100 people a day. All of those things came into play for
the Board to make their decision, not one specifically."
John DelVecchio. Applicant/Reputed Owner - 507 Hov Road - TM #85.00-05-07.000 -
Subdivision
Chair Wickwire recognized Paul Shememen, PE, John DelVecchio, and his son, Attorney John
DelVecchio who explained that this was originally a 24 -lot subdivision and now only four lots are
being proposed, as shown on the "Proposed Site Plan, Hoy Road Subdivision," dated May 2011 and
prepared by PLS Engineering, PC of Tully, NY. The access was from a 60 -foot wide private
driveway, wide enough to meet the Town's specifications should they chose to dedicate it to the
Town at some future time. PZO Weber explained that they are flag lots with access onto Hoy
Road, in addition to a dedicated right-of-way to the driveway.
PZO Weber asked the applicant if he could update everyone regarding the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan dealing with quality and quantity, as it was his and Pat Reidy's opinion that a full
one was necessary based on the Town's regulations. Engineer Shememen replied that he had
completed a basic one and submitted it for review, but he had received no response as yet. Pat
Reidy had provided him with a lot of information.
PZO Weber also advised that, under the Town's Subdivision Regulations, the Town Planning Board
has the ability to require a Stormwater Plan separate from the stormwater regulations that are in
the zoning portion of the Town Code. Attorney DelVecchio responded that the proposed
subdivision includes the four lots and it was their position that his client was afforded an
exemption for the approved four lots. That exemption, he stated, specifically was granted under
the prior ordinance and the proposed subdivision plan does not include that prior approved
subdivision. PZO Weber stated that the exemption was for "these four lots. You've used up the
four -lot exemption for this whole parcel. You cannot continually break the parcel down by four
over and over again, claiming that exemption." Attorney DelVecchio stated that their
interpretation was different, and any ambiguity in the Code must be resolved in favor of the
landowner.
Chair Wickwire asked if there was still a problem with water coming down off the hill onto the
Withey property. Member Renzi stated he had called Mr. Withey who said he no longer has a
problem.

Lee Johnson - 1832 NYS Route 13 - TM #77.00-04-15.000 (Not on Agendal
PZO Weber stated that Mr. Johnson had requested to speak to the Board, time permitting.
Chair Wickwire recognized Mr. Johnson who addressed the Board, stating that two years ago
(ZBA, April 2009) he had requested a variance from the Town ZBA for a mobile home at 1833 NYS
Route 13, pending the construction of his house. The variance was granted to allow him to live in
the mobile home for a period of one year, with construction of a new house to be completed within
two years and, upon completion of the new home and issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, the
mobile home must be removed within 30 days. He reported that he had been developing the
property and now would like an extension on that variance for one more year.
PZO Weber explained that the ZBA had met earlier this evening and did not realize Mr. Johnson
desired to talk with them, so he remained for this meeting which commenced a few minutes later.
PZO Weber advised Mr. Johnson that the Town Planning Board does not have the authority to
grant this extension. PZO Weber stated he would put Mr. Johnson on the June ZBA Agenda and
asked him, in the meantime, to put something in writing to give to the ZBA regarding his request,
Cortland Pump & Equipment, Inc., Applicant/JPB, LLC, Reputed Owner - 842 Bennie Road -
TM #105.00-01-22.100 - Conditional Permit for Outside Storage
Chair Wickwire commented that neither the applicant, nor a representative, was present regarding
this application. PZO Weber stated he had indicated when this meeting was and that someone
should be here. He stated he will call them and ask them to appear at the June meeting. If they
fail to appear, the Board has the authority to deny the requested Conditional Permit.
A motion was made by Member Renzi to postpone the Conditional Permit request for outside
storage until the 28 June 2011 meeting in order to allow the applicant/ representative to be
present. The motion was seconded by Member Bugh, with the vote recorded as follows:
Ayes: Chairperson Wickwire Nays: None

OTHER MATTERS
✓ Walmart Berm: Member Renzi visited the site. Everything looks fine with regard to
landscaping, except for the mowing of the berms "which seems to have fallen through the
cracks." The mowing contractor told the manager that they were instructed to "chop down the
grass every two months" at these locations, and it looks bad, especially along Route 13.
Drawings are clear that it should be mowed, the same as the lawn areas.
✓ Doug's Fish Fry Parking Lot: Chair Wickwire reported that the lot is full of water and has
been for quite some time. There appears to be some sort of drainage problem there. PZO
stated the parking lot to the east of it all drains in that direction. Doug's is dealing with all the
water from the entire plaza; since it has been such a wet spring, probably the drywells
installed are full and the ground is saturated. Fifteen years ago, when this Board was
reviewing projects, stormwater was not a big issue.
ADJOURNMENT
At 9:15 p.m., a motion to adjourn the meeting was made by Member Newell, seconded by Member
Ambrose, with all members present voting in the affirmative.

Cortland Pump & Equipment, Inc., Applicant/JPB, LLC. Reputed Owner - 842 Bennie Road -
TM #105.00-01-22.100 - Conditional Permit for Outside Storage
Chair Wickwire recognized Craig Williams, General Manager of Cortland Pump & Equipment, Inc.
PZO Weber stated that the applicant has requested additional storage in different areas, as per the
Site Plan submitted. The existing storage, he advised, is not where it was approved to be. Mr.
Williams explained to the Board which items were where and if they would remain there or be
hauled away.
Member Renzi asked if there was any room inside their building, and Mr. Williams stated there
( was not; their vehicles are stored inside for safety purposes. Chair Wickwire stated that she had a
problem with the existing outside storage as their facility is in an attractive area. She asked Mr.
Williams if they would consider an addition to house their extra stuff. Attractive fencing was
suggested. Chair Wickwire suggested that the applicant could come up with some other method of
AUG2011 31
(T) Cortlandville Planning Board Regular Meeting Minutes 28 June 2011
storage. Mr. Williams responded that there was currently room on the west side that's not all
parking. Member Renzi thought the applicant could be a little more creative and see if they could
come up with something to get the outside storage out of eyesight from Walden Place. Mr.
Williams stated he would see what he could come up with and return before the Board at their
July meeting.
A motion was made by Member Elizabeth Ambrose to postpone the Conditional Permit
request for outside storage until the 26 July 2011 meeting in order to allow the
applicant/ representative to submit a proposed Site Plan. The motion was seconded by

David Marin, Applicant/ Franklin Paro, Reputed Owner - 3716 US Route 11 - TM #105.00-01-
22.211 - 2/22/11 Denial of Conditional Permit for Storage Trailer
(Reference is made to the Minutes of the 2/22/ 11 and 5/31/ 11 Town Planning Board meetings for
background/ information. At the. 31 May 2011, the Board extended the existing storage trailer's
removal time from 31 May until 31 July 2011.)
Chair Wickwire recognized the applicant who presented a cut sheet of a proposed "carport" which
t he would like to erect to cover the existing storage trailer on his property. The sides would be
enclosed so it would not be visible from the adjoining (Harter) property. Chair Wickwire asked Mr.
Marin if he had talked with his neighbor about what he was proposing; Mr. Marin said he had not.
Mr. Marin stated he had plans to erect a fence also. Member Renzi reiterated that it would be nice
if he would discuss his plans with the neighbor.
PZO Weber advised that there were two issues here: the storage trailer (a Planning Board issue)
and the fence which, if it exceeds the allowed height, would be a ZBA issue). Chair Wickwire
stated that the Board would deal with the storage trailer. PZO Weber stated this is a "work in
progress" from his original application. If the storage trailer was enclosed, it was not considered
outside storage. The sides proposed, according to Mr. Marin, would be wood. Chair Wickwire said
that the neighbor should be talked with regarding what was proposed and, if the applicant did not
wish to discuss this with his neighbor, PZO Weber could contact him, advise him of what was
being proposed, and invite him to the July meeting. Mr. Marin stated this was okay with him.
Member Renzi asked the applicant to have more detail. and the color of the canopy and sides when
he comes back in July.
At the conclusion of the discussion, a motion was made by Member Renzi to postpone this
existing storage trailer matter until the 26 July 2011 Planning Board meeting to allow time
for consultation w/neighbors. The motion was seconded by Member Newell, with the vote
recorded as follows:

seeking approval to move their large -animal veterinary clinic into this building after it has been
renovated. (Reference is made to the 31 May Minutes for their initial presentation.)
Mr. Coen submitted a sketch of what was proposed, along with a list of plantings proposed.
Chair Wickwire asked if he had received a copy of the Cortland County Planning Board's report
regarding this project, and Mr. Coen responded they had not received it.
Chair Wickwire reviewed the County's recommendations as contained in their Resolution No. 11-
21 of 15 June 2011. Mr. Coen was provided with a copy of this resolution.
Item #1 of the Report - handicapped parking spaces: Mr. Coen agreed to abide by the
County's recommendation.
Item #2 - There's a 14" to 18" grade away from the building, which should be adequate.
There's no change to the parking area or the building footprint.
Item #3 - Applicant will obtain permit and connect to public sewer.
Item #4 - All floor drains, if any, will be connected to public sanitary sewer.
Item #5 - Curb cut(s) - Will discuss with DOT to see if any roadway access change is
required.
Chair Wickwire reviewed the "rough" landscaping plan. With regard to a propsed sign, Mr. Coen
assured Member Renzi that they would adhere to a maximum height of eight (8) feet. Mr. Coen
answered Member Renzi question pertaining to stormwater drainage from the roof.
At the conclusion the discussion, a motion was made by Member Renzi to approve the Site
Plan for the proposed new veterinary offices, as submitted, with a recommendation made to
the Town Board that they issue an Aquifer Protection District Special Permit and act as
Lead Agency under SEQRA. The motion was seconded by Member Newell, with the vote
recorded as follows:
Ayes: Chairperson Wickwire Nays: None
Member Newell
Member Renzi
Member Bugh
Member Ambrose
Motion carried.
This becomes Action #37 of 2011.

John DelVecchio. Applicant/Revuted Owner - 507 Hov Road - TM #85.00-05-07.000 -
Subdivision
Chair Wickwire recognized the applicant who was requesting a five -lot subdivision of the subject
property, as shown on the highlighted map displayed for the Board. The Cortland County
Planning Board had, in their Resolution No. 11-20 of 15 June 2011, recommended denial due to
the close proximity of up to five driveway entrances along Hoy Road. Mr. DelVecchio stated he
had not talked with the Town Highway Superintendent. He also stated that the proposed road
"would be a private road that I would maintain." It would be wide enough for a Town road,
however. He would like to build three houses for his family to live there. Member Renzi asked
why not build the road and dedicate it to the Town? The applicant responded it would be very
expensive. He could "eliminate these two lots, put a house up here for myself, and just have one
AUG 2 2 al
(T) Cortlandville Planning Board Regular Meeting Minutes 28 June 2011
here that would match this other house that I own now and rent; I would do the same thing here."
He stated he wanted to keep "control." If he could, he would rather put three houses on one
parcel. Member Renzi commented that if the applicant did this, but later on sold the property,
the next owner could say he didn't want this to be a private road anymore, and shut off access.
Mr. DelVecchio stated he would have a convenant that would not allow future owners to do so. He
didn't want to spend a lot of money on a new road. He did not intend to market the lots. The road
would be 30 feet, but would allow 60 feet if someone later on wanted to make it a public road. The
length of the road would be about 900 feet. "If the Board doesn't like my idea, then I'l1 build my
house down here," he stated.
PZO Weber advised the applicant that he could apply for a variance for multiple dwellings on a
single parcel. Mr. DelVecchio didn't know that would be possible so he may try that. The Board
advised him to look at all options, plus talk with Carl Bush, Town Highway Superintendent.
A motion was then made by Member Renzi to postpone the continued review of this
application until the 26 July 2011 (T) Cortlandville Planning Board meeting. The motion
was seconded by Member Newell, with the vote recorded as follows:
Ayes: Chairperson Wickwire Nays: None
Member Newell
Member Renzi
Member Bugh
Member Ambrose
Motion carried.
This becomes Action #38 of 2011.
NEW BUSINESS
David Yaman, Applicant/Tompkins Trust. Reputed Owner - Cor. Lime Hollow Road & NYS
Route 13 (2.5± A. Vacant Land) - Preliminary Sketch Plan Conference for Proposed Strip
Mall
Chair Wickwire recognized the applicant who was interested in developing the 2.5± acre site at
this location (for which he has an option to purchase). Architectural conceptual plans for the
exterior of the building, along with a preliminary site plan were given to the Board. The
submittals were subject to change, depending on input from prospective tenants. Mr. Yaman
stated that upon completion of the lease -up of the facility, detailed plans and specifications, as
required, would be submitted along with the formal application, etc.
Phase One, he stated would be construction of the 16,000 SF strip mall; there was the possibility
of Phase Two, which would be a second similar building at the rear of the first, as shown on the
Site Plan. The colored renderings shown were very attractive, and the Board was impressed; Mr.
Yaman stated he wanted to get away from the "boxy look."
Member Renzi reminded the applicant to review the Design Guidelines. Mr. Yaman stated that he
planned to adhere to all required setbacks and would also have lots of landscaping.
No Action Required.

OTHER MATTERS
✓ Walgreen's: PZO Weber advised that a catch -basin (CB) test has been tentatively scheduled
for tomorrow, 6/29, but he has not heard from Kristy (sp). One CB has been worked on, and
they will test that. If it works, they will move on to remaining CBs with the same procedure.
Has not been updated as to where project stands at present time. After a short discussion, a
motion was made by Member Renzi that Walgreen's be advised that the Town Planning
Board requests a complete update and completion of their ongoing remedial action and
testing at this facility by the last Tuesday in July 2011. The motion was seconded by
Member Newell, with the vote recorded as follows:
Ayes: Chairperson Wickwire Nays: None
Member Newell
Member Renzi
Member Bugh
Member Ambrose
Motion carried.
This becomes Action #41 of 2011.
✓ Essex Steel: Member Renzi stated he had talked with Town CEO Tom Williams regarding this
company's outside storage. PZO Weber stated he had not been updated, as yet, on this
matter.
AUG 2 2 2011 35-
(T) Cortlandville Planning Board Regular Meeting Minutes 28 June 2011
✓ Walmart - Berm Mowing: Member Renzi stated that Walmart had attended to the berm along
NYS Route 13. Town Attorney Folmer advised that CEO Williams has been following up on the
Board's concerns. They have met with new Manager regarding maintenance of the berm.
Someone changed type of grass seed which was not approved. Member Renzi stated all they
had to do was adhere to drawing C5-1 which was approved. CEO will have meeting tomorrow
at 10 a.m. w/Carl Bush, a rep of Walmart, rep of ADP Engineering, the landscaping architect,
and F1eetWash to finalize mowing situation to make sure the landscaping is mowed
appropriately. Town Attorney Folmer advised Member Renzi that he, too, was invited to attend
this meeting.
✓ Walmart - Walden Place Concerns: Chair Wickwire recognized Paula Currie of Walden Place
who showed the Board photos taken today of the unkempt berm as viewed from Walden Place
and the opposite side. There are two dead trees which should be removed/ replaced. Member
Renzi stated there should be as -built drawings, and approved plans should not be deviated
from.
✓ Garage Sale & Cortland Pump - Walden Place Concerns: Paula Currie also mentioned the
unsightliness of the outside storage at Cortland Pump, just across the Old Bennie Road, along
with what appeared to be an ongoing garage sale just down the road from the Walden Place
facility. Stuff all over the lawn, which stays there. Numerous lawn signs are there. Sign
requirements were read aloud by Member Renzi. She should apprise CEO Williams of the
situation.
✓ Walden Place Sign Discussion: Walden Place's business has been affected by the closing of
the road by the front of the facility. Their drive-by traffic has literally gone, Ms. Currie
reported. Would it be possible to put a sign up on small piece of Town's land at entrance to
Bennie Road from NYS Route 13? Sign needed because even GPS/OnStar systems cannot
locate the facility. PZO Weber stated nothing on Town property is responsibility of the
Planning Board; it's the responsibility of the Town Board. Proposed signs shown to Board;
_ sign company has talked with CEO Williams. New landscaping will be placed on what is now
"the front" of their facility. Member Renzi thought the Town Board should give consideration
to the sign along Route 13 as Walden Place's business has been adversely affected by the
Bennie Road relocation, along with the Walmart berm. He suggested she write to the Town
Board. Town Attorney Folmer added his advice to this, especially regarding setting of a
precedent by placing a sign on Town property. Member Ambrose stated that this was a real
problem; what about buying a small piece of property from Walmart? Attorney Folmer offered
to talk with the Town Board about this.
✓ Town Planning Board/NYSDOT Discussion re NYS Route 13 Corridor: At the request of
Chair Wickwire, Mark. T. Grainer, PE, AICP, of the NYSDOT Planning & Policy Division,
Syracuse Office, appeared before the Board. First, he reported on the progress of the proposed
real estate office project of Steve Terwilliger. He stated he had met with Mr. Terwilliger,
discussed his plan, and also the overall plan for Route 13. The State wants to reduce the
number of drives directly onto 13. The State would prefer rear access road off Webb Road for
proposed gas station/store facility (Town of Virgil) as well as the proposed real estate office.
He stated he asked for a full build -out scenario, but was not sure how this was going to go.
There should be only one driveway out of the existing large parcel and, if subdivided further,
there would then be more driveways.
He then went through "tools" that the Planning Board should use for planning (handout was
provided). He provided the Board with the Town of Virgil's Access Management contained in
their Code and explained how they worked with them; he also gave Chair Wickwire the Town of
Gorham's (Ontario County) Access Management plan; he would like to see this for the Town of
Cortlandville.
Mr. Grainer stated that they tried to give Mr. Terwilliger "an out." They would like to see
access off Webb Road to both parcels (real estate office and gas station/store). He did not feel
the two parcels should be tied together. Suggested to Mr. Terwilliger that the real estate
building would not have to occupy "this very specific parcel." Town Attorney Folmer asked if
there was any understanding as to what he was going to do. Mr. Grainer responded that the
AUG � 2 2011

34?
engineer suggested that there be a drivway only to the real estate parcel. - Mr. Terwilliger
answered that it would be a step back for him so he was not sure at this point.
In conclusion, after an extensive discussion/ presentation, Mr. Grainer stated -that he realized
"it's a local matter and I respect your authority."
✓ Suit-Kote Discussion Mining Permit: PZO Weber reported that the Town had received a
letter from the NYSDEC re "Lead Agency Coordination Notice"- dated 6 June 2011, advising
that the DEC proposes to act as Lead Agency for the SEQR review pertaining to a new mining
permit in the Town. The Town Planning and Zoning Boards were not listed as involved
agencies. The letter asked for a response by 9 July regarding Lead:Agency. The Town Board
has taken no action, so PZO, Weber is apprising both Boards of their potential role as Lead
Agency, or it. can be left up to the NYSDEC. TZO Weber spoke with Dick Schutz, of Suit-Kote,
regarding this. The DEC is considering their application incomplete at the present time. PZO
Weber informed Joanne March- of DEC that the Town has two boards that are at least involved
agencies. No decision needs to be made tonight.
At the conclusion of further discussion, and upon the advice of Town Attorney Folmer, a
motion was made by Member Jim Bugh that,, regarding Mining Permit #7-1122-
0181/00001, the- Town Planning Board requests that the NYSDEC be notified that this
Board is not able to respond appropriately with regard to Lead Agency status until it has
the opportunity to review a complete application. The motion was seconded by Member
Renzi, with the vote recorded as follows:
Ayes: Chairperson Wickwire Nays: None
Member Newell
Member Renzi
Member Bugh
Member Ambrose
Motion carried.
This becomes Action #42 of 2011.
✓ Doug's Power Sports: Member Renzi reported that the Board approved for the RC race track
is now being used as a storage area for ski-doos and snowmobiles.
ADJOURNMENT
At 9:45 p.m., a motion to adjourn the meeting was made by Member Bugh, seconded by Member
Ambrose, with all members present voting in the affirmative.

REGULAR MEETING
The Regular Meeting of the Town of Cortlandville Planning Board was called to order by
Acting Chairman Chris Newell at 7:30 p.m.
OLD BUSINESS

David Marin. Applicant /Franklin Paro. Reputed Owner - 3716 US Route 11 - TM #105.00-01-
22.211 - 2/22/11 Denial of Conditional Permit for Storaae Trailer
(Reference is made to the Minutes of the 2/22/11, 5/31/11 and 6/28/11 Town Planning Board
meetings for background/ information. At the 31 May 2011, the Board extended the existing
storage trailer's removal time from 31 May until 31 July 2011, and at the 6/28/11 meeting they
postponed any action until this meeting to allow the applicant time to consult with his neighbor.)
Acting Chair Newell stated he had driven by the subject location and saw the storage trailer and
some sort of a fence. Mr. Marin stated that he was putting a fence up to give more privacy to the
back of his house, and he had also ordered the panels to enclose the carport structure which is
planned to house the storage trailer. He showed photos of everything to the Board.
Acting Chair Newell commented that the storage trailer should not be there to begin with; now the
Board is trying to resolve that problem, along with the fence issue which was not a part of the
original application. PZO Weber once again explained that the property is zoned Business. The
applicant applied for a Conditional Permit. The fence is considered a structure, and could be
considered part of his original application. Structures .and distances to property lines are "as
required by Planning Board." Maximum height for fence in a residential district is typically six
feet; anything greater than that .would need to meet the setback requirements. In this case, the
Planning Board determines what the setback would be for any structure, i.e., the fence. The
Board, therefore, PZO Weber advised, could determine what the setback would be for the fence.
The Board could determine that an 8 -foot fence on the property line is in compliance with the
setback requirements as part of its Conditional Permit review. Mr. Marin added that his fence is
two feet from the property line.
Member Renzi stated that the Planning Board had received an undated letter from Bud Harter, the
adjacent neighbor to the subject parcel. Acting Chair Newell recognized Mr. Harter, who told the
Board that he did not care how high the fence was between the subject property and his property,
but he wanted it to look decent. He was concerned about the trailer, because it was "sinking into
the ground now," and if a structure was put over it, how much farther is it going to sink; has the
Page 1 of 5

gear lube been removed, tires are still on it. Zoning laws are for a purpose and should be adhered
to. A copy of his letter has been placed on isle for the record. Mr. Harter also displayed photos he
had taken from his property indicating what he sees. Mr. Marin countered that the trailer was not
sinking anywhere, and that there was no oil leaking.
Acting Chair Newell stated that this application had been discussed since February, and a final
determination needed to be made. Member Ambrose stated that the storage trailer really does not
belong on this property, and she was not sure that what has been done by the applicant is a
solution. The applicant, she stated, should come back before the Board with plans to build a
structure that is large enough to use as safe storage for his business.
Town Attorney John Folmer commented that as the situations exists today, there is a storage
trailer that is not permitted by Code. PZO Weber explains the options the Board can choose.
Member Renzi reviewed the history of this application. He thinks the applicant should get rid of
the trailer and then come back for approval to put up a building for his storage. Member Jim
Bugh thought that the applicant has invested money in purchasing the storage trailer, the
carport, fence materials, etc., so the Board should help him.
Member Renzi suggested the applicant could buy a "box" with no axle/wheels, and set it on the
ground on a slab. PZO Weber agreed this would be okay.
At the conclusion of this extensive discussion, a motion was made by Member Renzi to stay
with its original decision (Action #3 of 201 1)'regarding denial of a Conditional Permit for the
existing storage trailer, with said trailer removal extended to 30 September 2011. The
motion was seconded by Member Ambrose, with the vote recorded as follows:
Ayes: Acting Chair Newell Nays: None
Member Renzi
Member Bugh Absent: Chair Wickwire
Member Ambrose
Motion carried.
This becomes Action #43 of 2011.
Town Attorney Folmer stated the applicant could now make a new application for a building and
a fence. PZO Weber advised Mr. Marin to talk with Town CEO Tom Williams if he wanted to put
up a fence.
Cortland Pumv & Eauipment. Inc.. Avvlicant/JPB. LLC. Reputed Owner - 842 Bennie Road -
TM #105.00-01-22.100 - Conditional Permit for Outside Storage
(Reference is made to the 28 June 2011 Minutes of this Board for further information. At that
meeting, the applicant was asked to come back before this meeting with a Site Plan indicating
outside storage as proposed.)
Acting Chair Newell recognized Craig Williams, General Manager of Cortland Pump & Equipment,
Inc. Member Renzi commented that the "pumps are gone." Mr. Williams added, "never to return."
Mr. Williams stated that they have solved their outside storage problems. They have someone to
take the tanks, and he explained the disposition of all other outside materials. The Board was
satisfied with Mr. Craig's explanation/ solution.
No Action Taken.

John DelVecchio. Avvlicant/Ren_ uted Owner - 507 Hov Road - TM #85.00-05-07.000 -
Subdivision
Acting Chair Newell recognized the applicant who returned before this Board for continued review
of his application. (He had first appeared at the May 2011 meeting requesting a five -lot
subdivision; the application was forwarded to County Planning for their review at that time.
Reference is made to the May and June Minutes of this Board for further details.)
Mr. DelVecchio displayed a single copy of a revised subdivision plat to Board members that had
not been submitted to PZO Weber. He talked only with the Board members; neither the audio
tape nor the Board Secretary were able to hear what he was saying. At one point, the applicant
stated that he was "here to get approval for this lot." The Board Secretary advised that since the
discussion was inaudible, there was no complete record of what transpired.
After the' conclusion of the discussion between Mr. DelVecchio and the four Board members, PZO
Weber stated to the Board members, "Just so you are aware, we have no formal application.
There's been no formal submittal, so everything that is occurring tonight is Mr. DelVecchio's
description to you. I have not received any revised plans or anything." The previous formal
application was for the four -lot subdivision Mr. DelVecchio applied for; that's the only map that
the Board/PZO has. This was what was forwarded to County Planning for their review. The
County, in its formal report, recommended denial of the application because of number/ proximity
of curb cuts. At that June meeting, the applicant indicated he was going to apply for a use
variance.
PZO Weber stated that the applicant had called him this morning to see if he was going to be on
the agenda; but no new information had been received. PZO Weber advised that "Mr. DelVecchio
is welcome to come with a revised plan. All I am saying to you is I have not seen it and I was not
given the map in enough time to distribute it to the Board members ahead of time. I want to
make sure that everybody's on the same page."
Member Renzi suggested that the applicant should return to next month's meeting after
submitting a formal application and a plan.
PZO Weber cautioned the Board that if a lot has no access to a Town/ County, etc., road, the lot is
landlocked. Access needs to be maintained to a parcel.
No Action Taken.
NEW BUSINESS
Louis Sachetti. Revuted Owner - 3405 Kellogg Road - TM #97.00-04-07.000 - Conditional
Permit for Landscavine Business
Acting Chair Newell recognized Attorney Matt Neuman, representing the applicant who was
seeking a Conditional Permit to operate a commercial/ residential landscaping staging area from
this site, which was previously used for a trucking business, a non -conforming use. It is noted for
the record that the Zoning Board of Appeals, at its meeting just before this one, granted a use
variance to Mr. Sachetti for the proposed landscaping business. Mr. Sachetti stated that he has
operated his business for 23 years and has six employees. Instead of tractor -trailers on the site,
as in the past, Mr. Sachetti will have trees and shrubs. Attorney Neuman distributed a Hazardous
Materials List to Board members for the record, along with a Spill Prevention/ Response Plan. The
floor drain on the site is not operable, he stated, and the proposed hours of the business will be
from 7 a.m., when employees arrive, up to 6 p.m., when they would return and leave to go home.

Acting Chair Newell asked if the applicant had read the County Planning Board's
recommendations, and he responded that he had.
Attorney Neuman submitted a "no objection" petition signed by the neighbors; this has been
placed on file for the record.
At the conclusion of a brief discussion, a motion was made by Member Renzi to approve a
Conditional Permit for a landscaping business in an R2 District, incorporating Items 1 thru
5 of the Cortland County Planning Board's Resolution #11-23 of 20 July 2011. The motion

OTHER MATTERS
✓ Walareen's Update - After Member Renzi's review of the Clough Harbour Engineering Report
dated July 2011, he provided the following comments to the Board:
COMMENTS ON THE CHA REPORT
STORM SEWER INVESTIGATION DATED JULY, 2011
1. In the section titled Background Information at the end of the next to the last
paragraph it was stated that "----it was decided to attempt repairs to the
structures using silicone and hydraulic cement."
Comment: Please provide the manufacture's name and product identification
information for the silicone and cement that was used and a detailed procedure
for the application of these materials in the structures. Manufacturer's comments
in support of the use of these materials in this application are required.
Additionally the life expectancy of the repair is required.
2. In the Background section, the last paragraph on page 3 states that some of the
pipe joints were loose and repair was accomplished by removing the pipe seals
and applying the silicone and then re -installing the pipe seals. The remaining
seals were found to be tight and in good condition, therefore left untouched.
Comment: The procedure used in applying the silicone and the subsequent re-
installation of the pipe seals should be defined in detail. Manufacturer's
comments in support of the use of the silicone for this pipe application should be
made part of the report.
3. In the Findings section in the first paragraph the comment is made that the P4 pipe
"no longer leaked once the water elevation receded 1.5 feet." In the previous section
titled Investigation Results the tabulated data for system 1 notes that the leakage rate
for P4 was .83 GPM, this converts to 1195 gallons per day.
Page 4 of 5

AUG25 2011
(T) Cortlandville Planning Board Regular Meeting Minutes
26. July 2011
Comment: CHA engineering should comment on this leakage as to its significance or
lack thereof. Is it correct to assume that the pipe leaked when the pipe was full?
The report is basically fine but some details should -be documented as noted above. The
report should be reissued reflecting on the above comments and any others submitted by
the Planning Board, Bruce Weber and /or Pat Reidy. Finally, the report should be given
a number and the author should be shown on the cover page.
Member Renzi stated that he thought there should be a third party assessing whether or not
the system is functioning as designed. Also, who makes the final determination on this?
✓ Essex Steel: Member Renzi stated that Essex had fallen into the same storage problem as
others. Piping, etc., should not be in the front parking lot; should be kept out of site. Some
type of board utilized to determine how UV rays affect materials also does not need to be in
front of the building; the sun also shines in the back of the building. The company should
apply for outside storage. PZO Weber will take care of this.
✓ Walmart: Member Renzi reported that there may be some changes to the berm along Route
13, and some trees/plantings may be changed, so to expect Walmart to come before the
Planning Board in the near future. Need to monitor storage containers outside the garden
center.
ADJOURNMENT

John DelVecchio. Applicant/Reputed Owner - 507 Hov Road - TM #85.00-05-07.000 -
Subdivision
Chair Wickwire recognized the applicant who returned before this Board for continued review of
his proposed subdivision. (He had first appeared at the May 2011 meeting requesting a five -lot
subdivision; the application was forwarded to County Planning for their review at that time.
Reference is made to the May, June, and July Minutes of this Board for further details.)
Mr. DelVecchio displayed a single copy of a revised subdivision plat (dated 8/23/ 11 and prepared
by G. Bruce Davison, PLS) to Board members who explained that all five of the lots shown would
enter and exit from the 150.72± ft. strip of land, also as shown. This strip is a "private road," he
stated. Lots 2, 3, and 4 would have a permanent easement over and through the strip of land for
access. Member Nick Renzi asked if the road would be constructed to Town specifications, and
Mr. DelVecchio responded that it would be a private road which "I will maintain."
When asked about the transformer pad indicated on the drawing within the strip of land, Mr.
DelVecchio said it is located about 70 feet from the line and would not be a problem. He also
reported that the County Health Department had performed percolation tests on the lots and they
were okay for septic systems. Member Renzi asked if there would be any lighting along the access
road, and the applicant stated he could do so if need be. Chair Wickwire advised the Board that
this revised plat needed to be submitted to County Planning.
With no further discussion, a motion was made by Member Chris Newell to send the revised
subdivision plat to the Cortland County Planning Department for their review. The motion
was seconded by Member Renzi, with the vote recorded as follows:
Ayes: Chair Wickwire Nays: None
Member Newell
Member Renzi

Motion carried.
This becomes Action #45 of 2011.

(T) Cortlandville Planning Board Regular Meeting Minutes 30 August 2011
PZO Weber asked the Board members about a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPP) which
had been discussed previously. The Board has the authority to require a Plan. He stated that
there had been a history of previous stormwater problems at this location and a SWPP is
something the Board should consider. There are no problems at the present time, as previous
problems had been addressed; however, creating new lots may be of concern with drainage. At the
time the previous four lots were put in, Mr. DelVecchio took the exemption. Mr. DelVecchio
responded that Cortlandville, at that time, did not have stormwater regulations, so he took no
exemption; however, he stated he was "taking the exemption now." He then showed the Board a
SWPP which had been presented to Pat Reidy of County Soil & Water, dated May 2011 and
prepared by PLS Engineering. PZO Weber stated he would request a letter from Pat Reidy, and
would contact the applicant to let him know the results of his conversation with Mr. Reidy. Town
Attorney John Folmer commented that he was not sure about an "exemption." He also said the
Board should not take the stormwater issue off the table, and to create a private road could cause
a problem later on.
Walsreen's Drug Store - Cor. NYS Routes 281 & 222 - TM #86.13-01-55.111 - Stormwater
Svstem Evaluation/Revair
Member Renzi thanked Kristy Harris, PE, of Clough Harbour & Associates, who appeared before
this Board to report on the investigation/ repair of Walgreen's stormwater management system
which had not been working properly for quite some time. Clough Harbour had submitted a
report dated August 2011, detailing what had occurred regarding this system.
Member Renzi commented that the report did not reflect on the system's life expectancy. Ms.
Harris stated there was no data on how long the repair material used would last (hydraulic
waterstop). The product just stated it was "long lasting." Pipe seals, she stated, last for 50 years.
Member Renzi stated he had prepared recommendations for the Town Board to assure future
maintenance and inspection; he read aloud his recommendations. Town Attorney Folmer thought
it would be a good idea to have an independent third party designated by the Town Board to take
care of this.
At the completion of the discussion, a motion was made by Member Elizabeth Ambrose that
the Town Planning Board recommends to the Town Board: (1) that the repair of the catch
basins and piping and subsequent testing of the sections that have been repaired, tested,
and reported upon be accepted, (2) that the remainder of the system be repaired and tested
as described in the referenced report, with the following stipulations: (a) the repair work is
to be witnessed by an independent third party, designated by the Cortlandville Town Board,
to verify that the system is operating in accordance with CRA specifications, (3) that the
entire system be inspected and tested in August 2012 and August 2013 to verify the
integrity of the system's repairs and functionality, (4) the Town Board reserves the right to
request inspection and testing of the subject system within the next twenty years to verify
the integrity and functionality of the system. These inspection and test requests will be
limited to four, (5) all of the expenses associated with Items 2, 3, and 4 above are at no cost
to the Town of Cortlandville, and (6) reports must be submitted to the Town Board and
Planning Board documenting all of the work described above within 30 days of completion of
the work. The motion was seconded by Member Newell, with the vote recorded as follows:
Ayes: Chair Wickwire Nays: None
Member Newell
Member Renzi
Member Bugh
Member Ambrose
Motion carried.

Scott Smith. ADDlicant/Revuted Owner - 730 NYS Route 13 - TM #105.00-01-49.200 -
Conditional Permit/Revised Site Plan
Chair Wickwire recognized the applicant who was seeking approval to install a 1,000 -gallon
propane pumping station at his business on Route 13. This station would be used to refill
propane tanks for his customers. He also stated that he needed to return before the Board for a
proposed 30,000 -gallon LPG tank at a future date. Mr. Smith provided a revised Site Plan
indicating the location of the pumping station, plus the future 30,000 -gallon tank. A fence was
shown around this tank.
At a previous meeting, there was some discussion about fencing in the tanks on the site, if they
were not going to be behind the building; so far, all are behind the building. The proposed 1,000 -
gallon pumping station will have a fire extinguisher on it, plus a night light. The filling station will
operate during normal business hours.
At the conclusion of the discussion, a motion was made by Member Renzi to approve the
Conditional Permit/Revised Site Plan for the proposed 1,000 -gallon propane pumping
station, as requested. The motion was seconded by Member Newell, with the vote recorded
as follows:
Ayes: Chair Wickwire Nays: None

NEW BUSINESS
Cortlandville Fire District - 999 NYS Route 13 - TM # (not vrovided) - Request for Storage
Container
Chair Wickwire recognized Kevin Whitney, representing the applicant who was seeking approval to
place a 20 ft. by 8 ft. by 8 ft. steel storage container on the subject parcel, as shown on the sketch
accompanying the application. The proposed container would be utilized as storage for "props"
utilized in firefighter training. He explained that the Department's current 24 ft. by 28 ft.
ventilation simulator building has become overwhelmed with these props, so added storage is
needed.
Chair Wickwire stated that the Planning Board is trying to discourage storage trailers and asked if
they could construct a storage building or, perhaps; even add onto an existing building. Mr.
Whitney said he would check into doing so. He stated he would investigate alternatives and
return before this Board with another plan.
No Action Taken.
Pamela K. Ranev. ADDlicant/J. Lee Ambrose. Rev_ uted Owner - Ravhael Drive - Part of TM
#76.00-05-05.11 - Subdivision of Land
Chair Wickwire recognized Attorney William Pomeroy, representing both the applicant and the
owner who was seeking approval to subdivide the Ambrose lot as shown on the survey map
accompanying the application. Attorney Pomeroy explained that the small, triangular Parcel A,
.120 A., was being conveyed to its northern neighbor, the Mayos, who need room to expand their
Page 3 of 7
SEP 272011
(T) Cortlandville Planning Board Regular Meeting Minutes 30 August 2011
garage, and that Parcel B, containing .692 A. and frontage of 50± feet, was being conveyed to Ms.
Raney as a residential building lot for her home.
PZO Weber explained that there is no requirement for lot frontage, there's a requirement for lot
width (the average lot width of the property); the proposed Raney lot conforms to the Town's
requirements.
Member Renzi commented that Parcel B, at .692 A., is inconsistent with surrounding properties
and doesn't fit in. Attorney Pomeroy explained a little of the history of Renaissance (where
Member Renzi lives) and applicable covenants, etc.; however, the subject parcel was not an
original part of this. Member Renzi felt that it seemed unfair that across from "all these highly
regulated lots, good-sized lots, ... you have this very small lot which, to a degree, is a negative
impact on the other properties." Attorney Pomeroy responded that everyone who purchased
property in Renaissance I was aware that the area had never been restricted and was subject to
whatever requirements for an R-1 zone in the Town of Cortlandville. The owner of this property is
under no obligation, legally, to construct a house on any particular size lot as long as it meets the
Town's requirements, he added.
Member Renzi stated that although the proposed lot may be legal, it was his personal opinion that
it was not "moral." He then asked Attorney Pomeroy what was the plan for the westernmost lot
on the subject map; the attorney answered that it would be combined with the adjoining Ambrose
parcel, TM #76.00-02-13.000, to make that lot larger. Member Renzi added that it would be nice
to know what the long-range plan is for the remaining properties.
Dr. Ambrose then spoke to the Board and explained the sewer/water services available to the
subject lot (Parcel B). Chair Wickwire then informed the Board that they needed to proceed with
the application they had in front of them. Member Newell then made a motion to approve the
% subdivision as requested, but there was no second received. Member Jim Bugh then commented
that he was concerned about the size of the lot and the slope of the land. Chair Wickwire stated,
"This is ridiculous. We have no legal right to turn this lot down. None, other than Nick doesn't
like it across the street from him and I understand that. But we have no right to turn this lot
down, and they would have every legal right to sue us if they wanted to. And we would have no
legal right to turn it down."
Attorney John Folmer commented that he had expressed his opinion earlier today, and "I will
express it again—that if this Board were to reject this application, and an Article 78 proceeding
was commenced to attack your determination as being arbitrary and capricious, I would have a
deuce of a time dreaming up a defense for the Board's rejection." Chair Wickwire felt that if
Member Renzi "was feeling this way" he should be recused from this matter. Attorney Folmer
countered that recusing himself is a personal determination and one that cannot be compelled.
Chair Wickwire then asked Member Bugh to explain his concern about the topography of the
subject parcel. Member Bugh responded by showing her a USGS topographic map of the area
which indicated what he called the "steepness of the lot." There wouldn't be much percentage of
open space. Attorney Bill Pomeroy, "with all due respect to Nick" stated that he did not know
what the problem was, but assured everyone that there would be an Article 78 filed. Chair
Wickwire added that, again, this was a ridiculous situation, especially if the Town has to pay for a
lawsuit because "you think it's morally wrong. There's nothing illegal about it at all. Nothing."
Member Renzi responded that it was inconsistent with the rest of the lots around it and would
"degrade" the area. Chair Wickwire agreed that Member Renzi "has every right to say what he
feels; he doesn't like it and doesn't feel the lot's big enough. But as a Planning Board, we need to
look at this . . . it's legally okay to do. You've made your point . ." The proposed subdivision
meets all the Town's requirements.
Member Renzi, continuing the dialogue, thought, "from a planning view of things, it's not right."
Town Attorney Folmer then advised that "it's your obligation as a member of this Planning Board
Page 4 of 7
`1 J
SEP 2 7 2011
(T) Cortlandville Planning Board Regular Meeting Minutes 30 August 2011
to consider plans in accordance with and consistent with the underlying statutory authority set
forth in the Town Code. . .This proposal meets each and every one of the requirements of the
Code, and you really don't have any opportunity other than to approve it, and if it were somewhere
else, you would. You're talking about a lot of things that are not relevant nor germane to this
discussion ... I think that you are now acting outside the scope of your authority of this Board."
Chair Wickwire asked Member Renzi, "what's your legal reason for turning this down?" He
reiterated that the lot "was inconsistent with neighboring properties." Member Bugh stated he will
vote against this because of the slope of the land. Chair Wickwire said she personally looked at
the proposed lot and felt it was a "nice lot to build a home on." Member Bugh stated he had not
looked at the subject property.
PZO Weber asked Town Attorney Folmer what the situation was without a vote on the matter; he
understood it would be 62 days before any final determination could be made since there is no
determination for a vote. Attorney Folmer stated that PZO Weber understood it correctly. PZO
Weber than advised Attorney Pomeroy that within 62 days, his clients could come back with an
alternate plan, Member Bugh could visit the site to determine if the slopes are as depicted on the
topo map, and everything would be reviewed at the next meeting since there is no vote/decision at
this time. Town Attorney Folmer suggested that perhaps Member Renzi should think about
recusing.
Chair Wickwire recognized the applicant, Pam Raney, who asked if Member Elizabeth Ambrose
had to recuse herself. Town Attorney Folmer responded that she's spouse of the owner. Member
Ambrose affirmed that she is not the owner of the subject property and had no interest in it.
Chair Wickwire was satisfied with Member Ambrose's response and asked for a decision by the
Board.
A motion was then made by Member Newell to approve the subdivision of land, as requested.
The motion was seconded by Member Ambrose, with the vote recorded as follows:
Ayes: Chair Wickwire Nays: Member Renzi
Member Newell Member Bugh
Member Ambrose
Motion carried.
This becomes Action #48 of 2011.
Matthew & Kelly Eaton. Avolicants/Reputed Owners - 3233-3285 South Hill Road (McGraw)
- TM #108.00-03-17.000 - Subdivision of Land
Chair Wickwire recognized Kelly Eaton who explained that she and her husband wanted to
subdivide a 2.5± acre parcel out of their land to separate the existing house/garage from the
remainder of their 240± acre parcel, as shown on the sketches accompanying the application. She
also asked how long they had to file the subdivision map. PZO Weber answered her question.
With no further discussion, a motion was made by Member Newell to approve the subdivision
of land, as requested. The motion was seconded by Member Renzi, with the vote recorded as
follows:
Ayes: Chair Wickwire Nays: None
Member Newell
Member Renzi
Member Bugh
Member Ambrose
Motion carried.
This becomes Action #49 of 2011.

OTHER DISCUSSIONS
✓ Essex Steel - PZO Weber advised that he had spoken with Tony Bombardo of Essex Steel
regarding the existing outside storage at this facility on Route 13 which was not in compliance
with this Board's original approval and gave him until the September meeting for them to
consider what and where they want to have their storage and submit a plan. There was no
provision made for outside storage at the time of Site Plan approval. Town Attorney Folmer
advised that "if determinations are made by this Board that outside storage is not consistent
with the permit, or if there was no requirement for outside storage in the original granting of
the authority, then I just wonder if we're going overboard ... I wonder if next you're going to
ask me next to go to Pall Trinity and ask me to do something about that outside storage. I
need to tell you that I'm charged with the responsibility of prosecuting these violations in the
event you make the determination. As the prosecutor, I retain some prosecutorial discretion
and, quite frankly, I'm not going to prosecute either of these two." He then read the applicable
portion of the Code regarding storage in the district. He stated that the Board needs to be
careful about what they are going to do.
✓ Walmart Parking Lot - Concerns about overnight parking of RVs in Walmart parking lot were
discussed. This continues to happen, even with signs indicating No Overnight Parking.
Attorney Folmer said that CEO Tom Williams has a question: what do you mean by overnight
parking? Walmart is doing what they can.
✓ HEP - PZO Weber spoke with manager regarding outside storage; he indicated that
north/ south display is not okay. Asked manager to come back before Board with a plan.
✓ Grossman's/Bargain Outlet - PZO Weber reported that outside storage is no longer there
✓ Conditional Permits - Member Renzi said that CEO Tom Williams had come up with the idea of
doing fire inspections/ checking on Conditional Permits at same time. PZO Weber thought
CEO Williams should have an official recommendation from this Board. A motion was then
made by Member Renzi that the Town Planning Board requests that CEO Tom Williams
be asked to continue assessment of Conditional Permit conformances concurrent with
fire inspections, with Conditional Permit requirements being obtained from PZO Bruce
Weber via minutes/index of meetings. The motion was seconded by Member Newell,
with the vote recorded as follows:
Ayes: Chair Wickwire Nays: None
Member Newell
Member Renzi
Member Bugh
Member Ambrose
Motion carried.
This becomes Action #50 of 2011.
✓ Suit-Kote - received 12 August 2011 Notice of Incomplete Application from NYSDEC regarding
Suit-Kote's Mining Application. PZO Weber sent applicant required applications; that is
current status.
✓ Marin Storage Trailer in Polkville - Nothing new.
✓ David Yaman re Site Plan, etc. for Proposed Strip Mall on NYS Route 13 - Was on tonight's
agenda, but withdrew because there was another change and he wants to come before the
Board with a final plan.

trailers and asked him if the District could construct a storage building or, perhaps, even add onto
an existing building. At that time, Mr. Whitney said he would investigate other alternatives and
return before this Board with another plan. As related by PZO Weber, he has received no

Crown Court. LLC, Applicant/Walmart Stores East, LP. Reputed Owner - 818 Bennie Road -
TM #105.00-02-04.000 - Sketch Plan Conference for Provosed Retail Facilitv
Chair Wickwire recognized Chuck Feiszli, PE, and Kirk Krull, VP of Real Estate & Construction for
Shoe Show, Incorporated, a proposed tenant of this planned 12,000 SF multi -tenant retail facility
(they have 1200 stores in 38 states). Mr. Krull stated the shoe store would sell "brand name shoes
at discount prices." The applications and a project narrative had been provided to the Board,
along with preliminary 8.5" by 17" plans, a copy of which has been placed on file for the record.
The building would be located on the first out -parcel across from Walmart; it is proposed to
contain the shoe store and a women's clothing store. Mr. Krull brought photos of other facilities
such as what is being proposed here.
Chair Wickwire stated that after reviewing the plans, the only problem she saw immediately was
the relocation of the existing berm on this site. Mr. Krull stated he was not sure of the purpose of
the berm - sound and/or sight. Member Renzi explained the importance of the berm with regard
to the adjacent Walden Place facility. Mr. Krull started that a block wall could be substituted, but
he was open to other ideas. Member Renzi then commented that removing the existing berm
would violate the Site Plan Approval received by Walmart.
Parking lot spaces were discussed. Member Ambrose suggested making the back of the proposed
building a little more attractive. Alternate placement of the building on the subject lot was
discussed, e.g. moving building to the front and having parking behind it. Member Renzi stated
that the Board encourages parking in the back, as stated in the Town's Design Guidelines.

(T) Cortlandville Planning Board Regular Meeting Minutes 27 September 2011
The Board then reviewed the driveway entrance(s) into the site, suggesting it be located directly
across from a Walmart entrance. Engineer Feiszli stated they could come back with a plan which
showed preservation of the berm, maybe a relocation of the building/ parking as suggested, and
also renderings showing what the proposed building would look like. PZO Weber advised that
"this was a PUD, and the driveway entrances were pre -determined under PUD regulations. Any
alterations to that plan would have to go back through the process to get any changes to that ..."
Engineer Feiszli stated that they wanted the Board's input on the project, and would work with
the Board to make any changes needed. Chair Wickwire reiterated that the big objection was the
removal of the berm; she had no objection to where the driveway is, but would like to get rid of the
second one. PZO Weber suggested that the applicant's representatives may want to have a
conversation with Town Highway Superintendent Carl Bush, and also with Paula Currie of Walden
Place, regarding the plans for this facility.
Member Renzi suggested this proposed building's parking lot should have lights like Walmart's.
Sidewalks were discussed. Member Renzi also referred the representatives to Article 23 of the
Town's Design & Development Guidelines.
In response to the Board's question, Mr. Krull stated they would like to start construction in
February.
Chair Wickwire then recognized Mary Tuthill, a resident of Walden Place, who commented that the
berm should stay up. She also stated that there would be traffic problems on Bennie Road -
people coming up and down the road, exits and entrances right in the way. This needs to be
considered also, she stated.
No Action Taken.
John Del Vecchio. Applicant/Reputed Owner - 507 Hov Road - Part of TM #85.00-05-07.000
- Five -Lot Subdivision of Land
Chair Wickwire recognized the applicant who was proposing to subdivide his 70.39± acre parcel
into five parcels, four of which range in size from 2.36± acres to 3.09± acres, with the remaining
land of 59.75± acres, as shown on the subdivision map prepared by G. Bruce Davison, LS, dated
23 August 2011. She acknowledged receipt of the County Planning Board's recommendations
contained in their report/memo dated 16 September 2011. Mr. Del Vecchio stated he had no
problem with these recommendations, and he will come back before this Board with a final plat
"within a couple of months."
Chair Wickwire then acknowledged the comments received via a 7/18/11 email from Patrick
Reidy, County Soil & Water District's Water Quality Specialist. Mr. Reidy had reviewed the erosion
and sediment control plan for this subdivision and found it "adequate." He also had comments
regarding a SWPPP and Hoy Road runoff. A copy of this email has been placed on file for the
record.
No Action Taken.

- TM #87.04-01-16.000 - Proposed 10 -Unit Storage Building
Originally on the September Agenda, this matter was postponed until this meeting as neither of
the applicants, nor a representative, were present to answer the Board's questions.
Chair Wickwire recognized Mr. Contento who explained that he and Mr. Malchak own the subject
property and they want to construct a 24 ft. by 100 ft. building on the subject site, to contain ten
(10) rental storage units. The metal -type building with concrete floor would be placed on a new
gravel parking lot. It would not be fenced, and would have no lighting. Setbacks were
satisfactory, but they may change "a few feet." Chair Wickwire stated that the Board needed
measurements on a site plan/map indicating exactly how it will be (to scale): dimensions to
property lines, size/location of building, size of lot, etc. Member Renzi stated they would also like
a photo of what the building will look like. PZO Weber suggested putting a note on the map
accompanying the application, stating "Not to Scale" rather than putting the matter off for another
month.

for its removal; five months was suggested.

Proposed Commercial Retail Center
Chair Wickwire recognized the applicant who had appeared before this Board on 28 June 2011 for
a Sketch Plan Conference. Mr. Yaman is interested in developing the 2.5± acre site at this
location in two phases. Architectural conceptual plans for the exterior of the building, along with
a preliminary site plan were given to the Board at that time. At this meeting, Mr. Yaman
presented a revised plan for Phases I and II of the project to meet the needs of the prospective
tenants. Although Phase I will be constructed first, he would like approval for both phases at this
time. He stated that no signs were shown on the buildings as that would be the responsibility of
the tenants. Phase II, he said, would be for a 3200 SF anchor tenant with whom he is still in
discussion. They are working with "all national tenants."
Mr. Yaman will have a "fast-food operation" on the south section — McDonald's, who will relocate
from their present facility to this new facility. Three representatives for McDonald's were present:
Kurt Hackwelder, John Mason, and Chris Boyea. Mr. Hackwelder explained Lot coverage, green
space, parking spaces, construction materials (front to be brick), stormwater runoff, etc.
pertaining to the McDonald's site. With regard to landscaping, he said that they planned to use
trees, not evergreens. PZO Weber commented that there should be all dimensions shown on the
drawings.
Chris Boyea presented an overview of how the McDonald's site will look and how it will function,
including the proposed traffic pattern. The existing McDonald's will be put up for sale; it's owned
by McDonald's. Member Newell asked about the colors shown for the proposed restaurant; Mr.
Boyea said that they could take a look at that when they return before the Board. Chair Wickwire
commented that the Board would like the appearance of the new restaurant to be similar to that of
Tompkins Trust, just down the road. PZO Weber advised them of the variances that may be
required.
Member Renzi stated that he liked the looks of the building. Downspouts were discussed. Conifer
trees were suggested to avoid leaves clogging drains. The applicants/ representatives present were
reminded that parking spaces should measure 10 ft. by 20 ft. With reference to site lighting, Mr.
Yaman reported that they will provide this at the next meeting. Member Renzi said that the Board
needs "more specifics.
Mr. Yaman said he would like County Planning to review all that had been provided to the
Planning Board. PZO Weber countered that it would be more productive to present a complete
package to County Planning, rather than do it piecemeal. However, he encouraged the applicant
to meet with Dan Dineen, Director of Planning, to discuss the preliminaries. Member Renzi
advised that this Board is looking for all the details on the complete Phase I. PZO Weber
reminded them that County Planning will also want to see a sign package. Drainage should be
included, and PZO Weber said that the applicant needed to talk with Pat Reidy of County Soil &
water regarding this.
No Action Taken.

sheds would be displayed for sale, commencing on April 1st; the salesman's name/phone number
would be displayed on the buildings. No employee will be there, but Mr. Porter stated that-
probably
hatprobably one will be needed. This is a month-to-month rental. Photos of the proposed sheds were
displayed to the Board.
Member Renzi spoke about the deficiencies in the parking lot for the Groton Avenue Plaza, of
which this area is a part. He was not in favor of the shed display at all.
Mr. Porter explained that he does not own all of the Plaza; some are owned by the tenants and
they are responsible for their portion of the parking lot.
Member Newell felt that there should be some sort of a trial period to begin with, with the
applicant to return before the Board to review the proposed business.
