The resident of 331 East Ave was present to address the board.  She stated that this was a small residential street that has already been affected by the noise level from Wayneport Rd.  She also stated that the smells from Fleischer’s Bagels are a problem.  She stated that the children that live on the street are required to walk to the corner of East Ave and Wayneport Rd to get on the school bus and added traffic on this small road would be hazardous to them.  She also stated that the street had no sidewalks and no posted speed limit.  She questioned the proposed water lines.
Ed Holmes of 359 East Ave stated that he had been a resident of this street since the 1970’s.  He stated that on the street their lives a retired couple, a family with small children, and him and his daughter who rides her horse on the road.  Currently only 1-2 cars go down this street and he asked that the planning board maintain this atmosphere and let this business go in somewhere else.
Kevin Jones of 351 East Ave was present to address the board stating that he was the father of the children everyone had mentioned.  He questioned the environmental issues due to the millwork shop.  He asked if an environmental study had been done.  He questioned the drainage to Clinton ditch and the wetland area.  Kevin asked how many shifts the millwork shop would have, the number of employees, and the emissions from the paint used at the millwork shop.  Kevin questioned the amount of noise that would come from the business in this residential area.  He stated that when this area was changed to an ORM district there was no public notification.  Kevin asked about the sewage, water, power, and emergency vehicle access.  Kevin asked if the other land would also have business and if it is to have multiple businesses why can’t a separate access road be provided.  Scott Allen stated that the zoning is already there and the planning board can’t arbitrarily deny this application.
Nick Haskel stated that he lives in the last house on the road and stated that the land where this building is proposed was littered with junk.  He asked what the new owners planned on doing about it.  He also stated he had concerns about the wildlife in the area.  He also stated that if this proposal is approved it will devalue the residential property and the town should make up the difference.  He also stated that he has considered leaving the area if development is approved.  Mr. Haskel also mentioned that there is no speed limit sign posted.  Scott Allen stated that the residence could petition the town board to have speed limit signs posted.  Discussion continued about the one-lane bridge on Wayneport Rd and the drainage ditch.
Ester of 331 East Ave added that Wayneport area is a historical part of Macedon and development is devaluing all residential property in this area.  She asked if the residence in this area would receive a tax break from the Town of Macedon.  She continued to state that this project should have a separate entrance on either the South or East side.  Discussion continued about the water service and it was explained to the residence that the developer is responsible for providing the water details and all costs.  This process was reviewed for the residence benefit.  Ester continued by asking about the equipment that would be in the area.
Bill Fanning addressed this issue by stating that it is a landscape company and they would only have pick-up trucks with trailers carrying equipment.  Bill stated that all storage would be inside.  Prestige Millwork would take most of the space and parking would be provided for by town standards.  He continued by stating that the hours of operations would be 8am-5pm, possibly 6pm, unless a specific project required longer hours.  Bill stated that the millwork shop would only have 2-3 employees and the landscape business would only have 3 employees total.  Bill stated that if the town were to require sidewalks in this area due to this business, they would ask that the town help with providing this, but they are not opposed.  Bill continued by stating that the traffic from this proposal would not be continuous and it would not be a heavy flow.
Another resident asked about a chemical scrubber due to the millwork shop.  Bill stated that the millwork shop uses water based finishes and is very conscious of the environment.  The noise from this type of business is minimal, where the shop is currently located it is surrounded by office space and it has not been an issue.  He also stated that the building would be well insulated to reduce any noise that may occur.  Bill continued by stating that due to the nature of the business, it is impractical to build another road to access it.  The businesses are small and can’t afford such an expense.
Cy Packard was present and questioned what was required from the developer for the water service.  It was explained that the developer would need to submit water calculations to the Town Engineer and WCWSA would need to review the plans to insure adequate service.  It was explained that if a main were run the residence would be able to hook into it if large enough.  Bill stated that in conversation with WCWSA an 8” main with 2 hydrants would be needed and the residence would be able to hook-in.
Motion to close this public hearing was made by Tom Ferreri, seconded by Mert Bartels, all in favor.

Aurora Development Inc / East Ave / Realty Subdivision Revision and Site Plan Approval / Preliminary and Final
Bill Fanning was present to address the board concerning this application.  Mike Simon started conversation by reviewing some of the MRB Comments.  He stated that the parking area and access had no barriers such a curb stops along the building.  Bill stated that a walkway around the front of the building would be provided.  It was stated that their needed to be a minimum of 10’ between the parking area and the building according to town code.  The location of the perk / deep whole tests should be noted on the plan.  The grading around the septic would also need to be reviewed and the swale is less than 1% grade, which is not acceptable for positive drainage.  Erosion control measures should be noted along with the adjoining property owners.  Truck traffic on this road was questioned and it was stated that it needed to be demonstrated that a truck would be able to get in and turn around in this area.  It was stated that this was important for emergency vehicles as well as any deliveries.  A 30’ truck should be used for the demonstration.  Bill Fanning asked if a turn around at the end of the driveway would be a solution to this.  Bill stated that he met with WCWSA and they would like to see an 8” main brought back.  The parking lot is not to be paved initially, however, it will be eventually.  Scott Allen stated that a timeline should be provided for paving and the throat of the parking area needs to be paved.  Scott also stated that it appeared the tree at the end of the road is to be maintained like previously asked by the planning board.  The residence from the area stated that the tree was dispensable.  Howard Jordan stated that with the number of outstanding items he was not comfortable granting final approval during this meeting.  He had concerns especially with the road and the site distance to the hill with larger vehicles or pick-up trucks with trailers pulling out.  Bill stated that the short length of the road and the turn in the road does not allow anyone to speed in the area.  He understands the concern about fire trucks being able to access but felt that if the trucks for deliveries could get there so could a fire truck.  Bill continued by stating that the truck traffic would not be heavy, maybe a couple of trucks a week would need access and if the turn around is added this should not be a problem.  It was restated that 10’ of space was needed between the parking and the building and the applicant should take into account the minimum setback from the parking area to the right-of-way.  Land banking of parking was discussed on the East end of the lot and this area could also be used as a turn around.  The town code section 135-88 for setbacks in an ORM district were reviewed and it was stated that if the building is shifted 10’ to the South this should be resolved.  The applicant stated that no floor drains would be used in the building, it would have radiant floor heating.  Bill also stated that no exterior dust collection units would be used, inside bags would handle this and nothing would be vented to the outside.  This application was tabled until the above issues are resolved.
