Chair Tony Salerno, called the meeting to order at 6:00 pm Public Comment: 0 Approval of PB Minutes 12-22-22 tabled for next month. 2171 Dryden Road – review amended Site Plan Scotties Auto wants to amend their Site Plan. The 8-12-21 original Site Plan was revised 11-17- 21 to put 14 parking spaces north of the building to replace the 26 spaces along the east side. These 37 spaces are what was approved by the TB on 11-18-21. PB review is to make recommendation to the TB. Board discusses that its an eyesore and ways to possibly improve the appearance. Planting in front and around the dumpster. Questioned the use of the large trailer, it is used to store waste tires that will be removed, and another trailer brought in its place and removed when filled in the past was there about a month, will not be there year-round. The tires are stored under a carport till they accumulate for the next trailer load. Possible timetable to clean up area. Cars on lot need to be either registered or operable, not junk yard cars. 2 PB recommendations to the Town Board RESOLUTION # 1 - that the Town Board accept this amended Site Plan with the added stipulations. • Planting in the front, east and west side and around dumpster to be completed by end of June. • The container with tires be removed by the end of May. • The 6 spaces on the west side at the personal residence to be only registered vehicles. • No vehicles to be parked anywhere except in the designated spaces as shown on the Site Plan. Motion – J. Kiefer 2nd - T. Salerno All in favor – 5 yes, 1-abstain C. Anderson Dan Lamb gives Town Board Updates • Route 13 pedestrian bridge could be completed by the end of the year. • Freese Road bridge replacement still awaits approval of the plan for disposal of existing bridge structure. • After Town/Village discussions about extending sewer and water outside the Village, the Town is willing to consider further annexation of Town lands into the Village. J. Keifer to work on draft resolution on scope of the zoning amendment project, his concerns: • Is it only dealing with recommendations from the Dryden2045 Plan or a more comprehensive re-write to Zoning, Subdivision or Commercial and Residential guidelines. • Dryden2045 has a Statement in a couple of places where it says the general perception of the steering committee is that the current zoning does not accomplish what the 2005 plan says and there are problems with that. • How should we address issues in the 2005 plan: housing development, not enough senior housing, no diversity with the current zoning, SUP/limitations, walkable communities, perception that zoning is over-regulated. 3 These are some important topics we need to resolve before we hire a consultant to start working. The Design Connect Project has been completed and the plan is available and what are the next steps. There is some good output, with possibilities for sidewalks, trails, parks. A very professional document. The board is impressed with this plan. We want to recognize the Design Connect Team for their professional approach and for such a wonderful document. The Cornell students were a delight to work with. We were very impressed, and they were well managed. Village leaders input needed as this was for the Village and the Town. Need to get the Steering Committee together and have a discussion as to what’s next. Possibly have a presentation on the Design Plan. RESOLUTION # 2 asking the Town Board to recognize some of the difficult traffic areas such as North Street/North Road intersection at Dedrick’s and the need for sidewalks from Lee Road to TC3. Motion: C. Anderson 2nd: L. Wagenet All in favor – Yes RESOLUTION # 3 that Ray Burger meet with the County and DOT for suggestions to clean up the Intersection at North Road and North Street. Motion: C. Anderson 2nd: J. Wilson All in favor – Yes Ray Burger gives Planning Dept.
