NEW BUSINESS:

Section 2 -
3 lot realty subdivision & site plan - Sketch approval - Joe Pullen,

approved, contains 5 lots. They are now
seeking approval on 3 additional lots for Section 2. These lots will have individual septic systems, public water
& are on a public road. There is a
Federal wetland south of the parcel.
Scott Allen indicated a concern with the septic system for Lot #6. This will have to be a raised system and
approved by the Health Department. Mr.
Pullen also explained that the pond on Lot #8 is an existing pond and will be
expanded to gather drainage from all lots.
Overflow is sufficient to handle this quantity. The Board raised no other areas of concern. Motion to grant sketch plan approval based
on this submission made by Brian Gagne, seconded by Mert Bartels. All in favor; motion carried.
OLD BUSINESS:

trees. The Town Engineer did not have
any concerns with this application.

declaration. All in favor; motion

seconded by Kevin Rooney, to grant preliminary & final approval on this
application. All in favor; motion

was not available due to the timing of their meeting.
PB-35-02 - Merante/Martz -
Farmington Road - Realty subdivision - Preliminary & final - This is the transfer
of approximately 4.5 acres between adjoining property owners. Mr. Merante explained that adding this piece
to his present parcel (145 acres) would allow him road frontage and access on Farmington
Road as well as Canandaigua Road. A
portion of the 4.5 acres along Ganargua Creek is wetland. He is an avid sportsman and plans to
maintain the entire property for his own enjoyment. Tillable portions have been leased to a local farmer. The Board had no concerns with this
subdivision. Motion for negative SEQR

carried.
PB-36-02 - Rogers/Allen -
Macedon Center Road - 1 lot realty subdivision - preliminary & final - Chairman Doug
Allen abstained from discussion and voting on this application due to personal
interest in the matter. Dave Matthews
explained this subdivision breaks off approximately 16 acres on the south side
of Macedon Center Road of an approximate 116 acre parcel. It is a straight forward subdivision with
one single family residence planned for the future. Scott Allen had no concerns with this application. Motion for a negative SEQR declaration made
by Tom Morrison, seconded by Mert Bartels.
All in favor; motion carried. Motion
to grant approval for this subdivision made by Brian Gagne, seconded by Tom
Morrison. All in favor; motion carried. SEQR form signed by Mert Bartels, Vice
Chairman.
PB-37-02 - Packard -
Kittering Road - Application for fill - Mr. Packard would like to fill a previously
mined gravel pit. The mining was ended
over 20 years ago, and the mining company did not reclaim the land. An old aerial photograph of the area
displayed by Mr. Packard showed the extent of the mining operation. 14 acres have already been reclaimed where a
house and barn were built. The
additional fill area is proposed as a 4-lot subdivision. Discussion then centered on type of fill
allowed and a timeline. Tom Morrison
felt a one-year time limit should be placed on the permit to allow for
remediation of any issues that may arise (drainage issues, etc.). Application for a sub-division would also address
these related issues. Motion to grant
this fill permit made by Brian Gagne, seconded by Tom Morrison, with an
expiration date of one year from the time of issue, no existing drainage
patterns are to be altered, maximum of
30,000 cu. yds. of clean, hard fill is to be used and roads to be kept clean.
All in favor; motion carried.
PB-21-02 - Gananda
Partnership - Pheasant Run - Phase I - Matt Wing, Parrone & Associates, Mark Ward,
Home Properties, and Tom Fink, attorney for Home Properties, were present. Scott Allen distributed a resolution
declaring the Planning Board as lead agent for SEQR review. This would be an Unlisted Action with a
coordinated review. Resolution states
the agencies involved, and the 30-day process will begin to secure the Planning
Board as the lead agent. Motion was
made by Kevin Rooney, seconded by Tom Morrison, to approve this resolution (see
attached). All in favor; motion
carried. Notices to the various
agencies will be sent within the next week, beginning the 30-day time
period. Should have all lead agency
input back by the January 13th Board meeting. With adoption of this resolution, Parts 2
& 3 of the SEQR must now be completed by the Planning Board. At Kevin Rooney's suggestion, copies of the
preliminary Part 2 were provided to Mr. Fink and Mr. Villani. Discussion followed about possible areas of
concern that will need to be addressed; i.e., drainage, traffic, livability of
certain lots, etc.
