OLD BUSINESS

Gananda Community Church / 3259 Canandaigua Rd / Site Plan / Sketch
Present to address the board was Paul Schreiner and Ed Rainer.  Paul explained that they were currently asking for sketch plan approval on a 5600 square foot addition with additional parking.  This project would also mean modification to the drainage system.  Paul stated that more formalized plans have been presented for the boards review.  Paul addressed the comments from MRB.  He stated that items 1-3 have all been addressed.  The remaining items are for future submission.  Paul stated that they were already working with DEC and the plans presented represented a culmination of work with DEC.  Paul explained that the church currently has a 6" lateral and they were planning to add a couple of restrooms.  They would tie into the 6" lateral with 4" line.  He also explained that the church has an existing 2" water service.  Paul stated that with the additional parking and the overflow parking this would be adequate.  Paul stated that the only item not showing on the site plan was lighting.  He stated that they planned to have a total of 5 lights, the same style that is currently there.  This would involve moving one of the existing lights.  A motion to grant sketch plan approval was made by Doug Allen seconded by Tom Ferreri, all in favor.

Spinners / Route 31 / Special Use Permit
Gus Jublius and Kevin Judge were present to address the board.  Gus stated that they were currently seeking a recommendation from the planning board to the town board for phase one, an outdoor extreme skate park.  Gus explained that after reviewing the current lighting they are not proposing to add any additional lighting.  This phase is to be located in the existing rear parking lot behind the building and is to be enclosed with portable fencing.  Additional land banked parking is shown on the opposite side of the driveway to be installed if needed.  Kevin explained that this would be a seasonal operation starting April 1- October 31.  Scott stated that his concern was the additional parking and the plan addresses that issue with the land banked parking area.  Bill Hammond asked if outside music was being proposed.  Kevin Judge explained that there was no outside PA system proposes but the kids would be able to wear headphones.  Discussion continued on the drainage and sanitary easements.  It was stated that the Sewer Easement should be extended to the South property line if not currently there and the Drainage Easement should be discussed and agreed upon with Dick Roets.  Storage of the equipment will be inside during off-season.  A motion to give a positive referral to the Town Board for Phase one of the Spinners application was made by Doug Allen, seconded by Mert Bartels, all in favor.

BRIEF DISCUSSION

Flaherty's / Route 31 / Addition
Tabled, no one present to address the board.

Eastern Sand and Gravel / Daansen Rd - Macedon Center Rd / Mine
Bob Johnson and Bob Murphy were present to address the board.  Bob Johnson started by telling the board that in 1998 Mr. Murphy had applied for a mining permit at this location.  He stated that they have revised the proposed mining area and moved the entrance further to the West to decrease the amount of excavation.  Bob Johnson stated that they had already filed with DEC and have made some revisions based on DEC comment.  Arial photographs were presented showing the location from all angles.  Bob Johnson stated that when they had previously applied there were several people present with concerns. Bob Johnson reviewed the previous concerns.  He stated that mining would start on the 500 contour and excavate down.  He stated that one of the nearby homeowners had concerns about a well located at approximately the 470 contour.  Bob explained that the bottom of the proposed excavation would be the same level as the top of the well so he did not see any concerns with this issue.  Another concern from neighboring property owners was flooding in the basements.  Bob Johnson stated that the slope of the hill on that side of the property would not be changing so he did not see how this would effect flooding in the basements.  Another concern stated by residence of the area was the amount of gravel pits in operation in the immediate area and the traffic they bring.  It was stated that most of the pits were not in operation any longer.  Scott Allen stated that the application has shown definite improvement from the last time.  Bob Johnson stated that DEC has some concerns with the wetland to the North and Bob Johnson has already contacted the appropriate agency in regards to this.  The wetland was determined to be Federal.  Scott Allen stated that the application should provide control of run-off and a reclamation idea so that the land is not left unusable after mining is complete.  It was determined that an updated application should be submitted to the Town Board who will refer the project to the Planning Board for review.  Doug Allen stated that the applicant should be prepared to address any concerns at the public hearing from neighbors.  He stated that they should be prepared to offer a row of pine trees or something to address screening.  Bob Johnson stated that all mining would occur behind a 25' bank and stockpiles of topsoil so screening should not be an issue.  It was also suggested that Mr. Murphy do a benchmark water test on the well for his own protection.  During this discussion it was brought up that the nearby mine had been taking a lot out late this fall and it was determined that Mario Fioravanti would look into this matter.

Pockock Subdivision / Wilkinson Rd and Wayneport Rd
Lynn Redden and Doug Southpaw were present to discuss with the board this previously approved subdivision.  They stated that the two of them and Mr. Carl Proska would like to purchase this property from Mr. Pockock and do a realty subdivision between the three of them.  An approximate map was presented showing who would own which parts of the land.  They are not proposing any building.  They were told to have a surveyor prepare a map and submit an application to the planning board for approval.

ZBA REFERRALS

Norman Soucy / 412 Route 31 / Area Variance - Section 135-61-b-5 / Would like to build new residence behind existing accessory structure

OTHER PERTINENT BUSINESS

Bill Hammond stated that Tony Villani, Town attorney, would be sending letters to anyone with outstanding MRB bills and if no response came from this the next step would be looked at.

Bill Hammond also stated that he had received a call from Jim Airy concerning notification he received from the state that he would need to pave 25' of his driveway from the road.  This is because Route 350 is a state road.  It was discussed that the planning board may want to make people aware of this during the approval process.

Scott Allen stated that the subdivision approval for Tegtmyer on Mill Rd has had some changes.  The planning board approved this subdivision subject to receiving a drainage easement on this property.  After discussion with Dick Roets it was determined that this easement would be waved due to existing flooding problems on the property and town liability.  The mylar is to be signed without the easement.

Bill Hammond gave an update on the new town complex.  He stated that they are looking at forgoing the basement due to the need of an elevator.  Bill stated that if a basement had any working space in it an elevator would be required, costing approximately $60,000.  By forgoing this the, building will be larger.  The proposed building is a modular and will be built on a pillar system.  The building is to be located where the barn is currently.  He also stated that the new highway garage was going well.  Pat Nicoletta explained a new bay washing system the board is currently looking into.
