DISCUSSION:

Mike Morrelae of Merit Development brought in a proposed commercial development for the northeast corner of Canandaigua Road and Gananda Parkway. This would be retail stores, possibly including a pharmacy and bank - seven (7) storefronts in three (3) sections. Entrances would be off Fairway 7 and Gananda Parkway. Several issues were discussed including:

1) Traffic concerns - distance to intersection going west on Gananda Parkway and

curve going east;

2) Traffic flow in & out, movement around buildings, loading & unloading of trucks;

3) Drainage;

4) Aesthetics - Loading docks, dumpsters, grades, landscaping;

5) Transmission water main goes through the site - Water Authority input would be

needed;

6) Full SEQR review;

7) Traffic control at intersection - may be asked to participate in placement of a full

stoplight.

Mr. Morrelae will consider these issues and come back with a sketch plan for consideration.

OTHER BUSINESS:

Councilman Nawrocki advised the Board that the Town of Walworth is requesting a grant to build a pedestrian walkway along Canandaigua Road in Gananda.

Mr. Villani then addressed the Board regarding the sections of State law dealing with subdivision and site plan reviews. On site plan review if action is not taken within 62 days it does not result in a default approval. On subdivision review if action is not taken within 62 days, it is approved by default. The 62 days begin when the application is complete (SEQR only). Deadlines may be extended by mutual consent and for a specific time period (a second 62 days was recommended). Scott Allen has information to be distributed to the Board members regarding the statutes and test cases. Mr. Villani advised that on applications where there is a site plan and a subdivision together, the Board should assume the 62 days come into play or split the application into two separate items to be considered individually.
