Tom LoTurco, P.E. from Clough, Harbour & Associates, representing HDL Property
Group, LLC. gave a synopsis of the building plan for the proposed 14,490 sq. ft. Walgreens
drugstore. The stormwater pollution prevention plan for the project includes an infiltration
design system. Before the water gets to the infiltration system it would be filtered through two
storm filters as pretreatment for the system.
Councilman Rocco questioned who would remove the gas tanks at the current Getty Mart
gas station/convenience store.
Mr. LoTurco was not sure what the specific agreement was between HDL Property
Group and LDD Corporation, however he explained that an independent, certified contractor
would remove the tanks. The County Health Department would also inspect the removal of the
tanks. Mr. LoTurco was not sure what the soil testing procedures would be at that time.
Councilman Rocco questioned how the widening of NYS Route 281 would impact the
site.
Mr. LoTurco apprised the Board that at the beginning of the project the NYS DOT was
contacted before any designs were done. The DOT indicated where the future roadway would
be, therefore the engineers kept the curbs outside of where the DOT indicated.
Councilman Proud questioned whether the infiltration basin would be impacted by the
DOT's plans to widen NYS Route 281.
Mr. LoTurco further explained the infiltration system, which would be within the parking
lot and not affected by the DOT's plans. He also explained the traffic flow and the ingress/
egress for the proposed Walgreens, and informed the Board the left hand turn onto Route 281
would be eliminated.

it would be possible.

taxes.
Town Clerk and Tax Collector, Karen Snyder interjected and apprised the Board that the
Town tax is different than the City tax. Even if the County allowed two installments for the
Town and County taxes, the tax bill would still have to be paid in full by May 3 1 " due to the
fiscal year of the Town and of the County. According to Town Clerk Snyder, the County would
have to authorize two installments before it would be possible to implement.
