SKETCH

Dailey / Barnes Rd / 1 Lot Site Plan / Sketch
Dave Matthews was present to address the board and stated that the board had previously approved the realty subdivision for this property in June 2001.  Dave stated that the homeowner's original plan was to build the house approximately 900' from the road, which is shown on the plan.  The homeowners have now decided to move the house to 750' from the road and this will be shown on the final plan.  All MRB comments were addressed and water calculations will be submitted for review.  Motion to grant sketch plan approval was made by Doug Allen, seconded by Mert Bartels, all in favor.  It was noted that the Wayne County Planning Board recommended approval of this application.

Winston-Handy Inc. / Quaker Rd / Subdivision and Site Plan / Sketch
Dave Matthews was present to address the board.  Dave told the board that this property is currently owned by Blanch Kemp and is located on the South side of Quaker Road, next to the RG&E substation.  Dave explained that this business operated on BeBee Rd for approximately 30 years and is now looking to build a more modern facility.  The company has 5-6 employees and 90% of work is off-site.  Dave explained that the business would store 15-20' lengths of aluminum piping at this location and this is within the town codes.  The nearest neighbor, Mr. Morrison, is approximately 1500-2000' away.  Dave explained that there are wetlands on the property but the business will not be close to this area.  All MRB comments were addressed and it was noted that the Wayne County Planning Board gave a positive recommendation.  Scott Allen stated that the incidental storage has to be well thought out and designated on the map for future reference.  Scott also asked for the apron of the driveway to be paved to reduce stones traveling to the road and Dave stated that this would not be a problem.  Howard asked if fencing would be placed for security purposes.  Dave stated that this was not planned for at this time, the applicant never had a problem on Bebee Rd but he would discuss it with them.  Tom Ferreri questioned the need for floor drains with an oil separator.  Dave stated that he was not sure if floor drains were even needed but he would check into this issue.  Motion to grant sketch plan approval was made by Doug Allen, seconded by Tom Ferreri, all in favor.

OLD BUSINESS

Crippen / Yellow Mills Rd / Realty Subdivision / Final
Newt Gowdy was present to address the board and stated that the owner of this property would like to sell the existing house and barn separately.  The board told Newt that the lot size is too small and questioned if he had applied to the Zoning Board of Appeals.  Newt had not applied to the ZBA and was referred to talk with Mario about what variances would be needed.  Tom Morrison stated that this subdivision would be creating problems and he doesn't feel it should be broken up this way.

BRIEF DISCUSSION

Bass - Niven / Walworth Rd / Realty Subdivision
Bruce Niven was present to address the board stating that a formal application would be submitted for this subdivision, however, due to time restraints for closing on the sale is asking for a preliminary review for any outstanding issues.  Bruce reviewed the subdivision with the board and distributed drawings showing the changes.  After review of the drawings, the board stated that no issues were outstanding concerning this realty subdivision.

Frank Dimino Inc. - Henning Property / Route 31 / Road Construction
Mark Costich of Costich Engineering was present to address the board.  He stated that Mr. Dimino has owned this property now for approximately 10 years and it is zoned for a multitude of uses.  Mark stated that due to the appearance of the property businesses are not interested in moving there and therefor the owner would like to construct a roadway to allow access.  Mark explained that NYSDEC and NYSDOT permits would be needed and they are currently working with both agencies on obtaining these permits.  Mark explained that the road would be approximately 700' to start and would be built to town codes for dedication.  Site plan and subdivision would be sought in the future.  Mark explained that they have already met with DEC concerning the wetlands and the design of the road is due to great lengths to avoid intrusion of the wetlands.  Mark also explained that he is still waiting for input from DOT but anticipates needing to do a preliminary traffic study for potential businesses, however, does not think a full blown study is warranted at this time.  Scott Allen stated that there is really no way to avoid the wetlands completely, however, the applicant had done a good job at limiting the intrusion.  Scott also stated that the applicant may want to consider accounting for bringing in utilities at this time as well to avoid needing to return to DEC a second time.  Scott also suggested that the throat of the road to Route 31 be easily expandable for a future turning lane.  Mark explained to the board that the wetland does extend all the way to the canal and a 150' grade change occurs in the north part of the parcel which does not allow development on the entire parcel, however, the south section of the parcel is highly developable and is considerable in size.  Mark explained that a full delineation of the wetlands have been done.  Scott also told Mark that the applicant should plan for East / West travel as well in the future and it may be possible to link with the Morris-Rosenbloom road.  Scott also suggested that the storm water facility might want to be moved to the opposite side of the roadway.  Mark stated that there is natural detention in this area and the culvert sizes have not yet been analyzed.  Scott questioned the distance from the corner of the barn and stated that a variance may be needed due to setbacks.  It was recommended that the applicants also have an informal discussion with the Zoning Board of Appeals and explain that a variance is not necessarily needed at this time due to no created lot line but it may be needed in the future.  Mark stated that a formal application for site plan approval will be submitted and Scott stated that Dick Roets would also want to review this.

Cataldo / Dog Kennel
Mr. and Mrs. Cataldo were present to address the board.  They stated that they were looking for guidance concerning dog kennels.  Mrs. Cataldo explained that they were looking at purchasing a house in Macedon but she owns 9 St. Bernard Dogs and wanted to be sure she would be able to keep them.  The regulations for kennels were reviewed and it was stated that as long as they could meet the regulations there should not be a problem.  It was explained that a Public Hearing would need to be held and approval granted by the planning board and the applicant should submit a map showing the areas to be used for the dogs.

Total Identity Group - Exxon / 729 Route 31 / Area Variance - Section 135-190-A and 135-190-E / Would like to have advertising on directional signs and more square footage of signs than allowed by town code
