Site Plan Review - Maguire Body Shop Addition
Code Enforcement Officer Alex Rachun was unavailable for this meeting, therefore Town
Supervisor Doug Austic distributed application materials for the proposed project to the Planning
Board. Timothy J. Maguire has requested approval to construct a 45-foot by 30-foot addition to
the existing body shop, and a 20-foot by 26-foot storage area to the repair shop, on the premises
of the Maguire automotive dealership located on NYS Route 96 in the Town of Ulysses. There
are no proposed modifications to the existing site including landscaping, fencing, signage,
exterior lighting, or parking. The proposed building addition will be four feet higher than the
existing building. The Board reviewed a checklist of required application materials. It was
determined that existing topography would not be needed since the site is basically flat. There
were questions regarding access within the site and parking surfaces. It was noted that there
would not be a change in parking surfaces. It was noted that in addition to SEQR review, a
building permit and site plan approval is required for this project. Mr. Tyler moved that the
application for site plan be deemed complete and that a public hearing for site plan and SEQR is
scheduled for September 19, 2002 at 7 : 30 p.m. at Ulysses Town Hall. Mr. Porter seconded the
motion.

The motion passed unanimously .
Miscellaneous
Mr. Gerald Molick of Terrell Road in the Town of Ulysses came before the Planning Board. He
was concerned about excessive noise created by ATV ' s, dirt bikes and vehicles operated by
neighbors on property immediately adjacent to his property and roughly 40 feet from his house.
He urged the Board to implement a noise or nuisance ordinance to protect people in similar
situations from harassment and fear. His family is not able to enjoy their home under such harsh
conditions. Board members agreed that this was not a good situation and will explore the issues
further to determine a course of action. The Board thanked Mr. Molick for speaking to them
regarding this matter.
Meeting was adjourned at 8 :30 p.m. on a motion by Mr. Tyler, which was seconded by Mr.
Coogan, and approved unanimously.
Respectfully submitted,
Eileen Jacobs
