PUBLIC HEARING:

 

PB-04-03 - Laker Development/CVS - Corner Canandaigua Rd. & Route 31 - Subdivision & site plan - Motion made by Tom Ferreri, seconded by Tom Morrison, to open this public hearing.  All in favor; motion carried.  Kim Thompson, FRA Engineering, and Devin DalPos, Laker Development, were present on behalf of the applicant.  No one else was present to speak for or against this application.  Motion to close the public hearing made by Tom Ferreri, seconded by Tom Morrison.  All in favor; motion carried.

 

 

NEW BUSINESS:

 

PB-05-03 - Providence Housing Development Corp. - Hickey Commons - Canandaigua & Victor Roads - Low income housing - Site plan - Sketch - Paul Colucci of Costich Engineering and Cheryl Harkin of Providence Housing were present on behalf of the applicant.  This is a 10.09 acre parcel in TPD zoning.  The project would be 40 dwelling units (12 one-bedroom; 20 two-bedroom; 8 three-bedroom) in 9 buildings; single car garage & driveway for each unit; 2700 sq. ft. community center; 33 additional off-street parking spaces.  Density is half that allowed by Code; minimum of 60 ft. between buildings. Construction would be wood frame with gabled roof, asphalt shingles & vinyl siding. Private roadway would be maintained by the complex.  There would be a full-time manager & maintenance person available at all times.  Sewer & water would be dedicated to the Town.  Two storm water retention/detention ponds are planned.  The present one at the north end of the site will be reshaped & modified to become a wet pond.  Pedestrian access from this project to the adjoining shopping plaza will be worked out with the Town.  Cheryl Harkin explained the "low income" aspect meant tenants whose income was 50% or below the area median (primarily single parent households and senior citizens).  Rents would range from $380 to $500/month.

 

Board concerns were a second entrance via a "crash gate" onto Canandaigua Road.  The Water Authority would like to see the water service looped to Victor Road instead of a dead end.  The Highway Department would like the ditch along the northwest property line to be cleaned as part of the project, leaving trees undisturbed.  Detention ponds need to be properly maintained to eliminate overgrowth, and the current drainage easement would be modified so the Town could continue maintenance.  Other issues were site lighting, Brixton intersection lighting and community center parking.  Motion made by Tom Morrison, seconded by Brian Gagne, to grant sketch plan approval.  All in favor; motion carried.

 

 

OLD BUSINESS:

 

PB-04-03 - Laker Development/CVS - Route 31 & Canandaigua Road - Subdivision & site plan - Preliminary & final - Kim Thompson, FRA Engineering, reviewed the concerns from previous meetings.  Ms. Thompson & Scott Allen have conducted a tree inventory of the site and noted those trees to be retained.  Plans now reflect this and supplemental plantings will be made.  Phase 2 - Bank - This portion must be graded & seeded by October 1st if there is no construction start date prior to December 31, 2003.  It was also noted the bank building size has been reduced from 4,000 sq. ft. to 2, 500 sq. ft.

CVS building plan now includes split face block façade with a tower on the front corner.  Town Engineer's Review Letter was discussed.  Fencing between the remaining residence (Marvin) and the CVS will be white vinyl vertical boards with scalloped top. 

 

Devin DalPos of Laker Development asked that the Engineering Comments be a contingency on the building permit but other conditions be contingent upon C of O issuance (Item 23 in Engineering Review).

 

Motion made by Brian Gagne, seconded by Kevin Rooney, to grant preliminary & final approvals contingent upon the Town Engineer's comments of March 6th and additional comments made by the Planning Board.  All in favor; motion carried.

 

PB-21-02 - Gananda Partnership - Pheasant Run Phase I - Site plan - Matt Wing, Parrone Associates, Mark Ward, Home Properties, and Tom Fink, attorney, were present on behalf of the applicant.  Mr. Fink addressed the Board and indicated his client is now looking for a negative SEQR declaration.  Mr. Wing reviewed the supplemental engineering response to items on Part 2 SEQR.  Drainage issues, recreation areas and looping of Spragbrook were discussed.  Mr. Ward itemized other areas where past concerns had been remedied.  Scott Allen pointed out these were issues from other projects, and the Town would like to avoid similar things with Pheasant Run.

Mr. Fink again stated Gananda Partnership would like the SEQR resolved and final site plan approval granted.  Chairman Allen indicated the Board would take the next two weeks to review the supplemental report and place this on the March 24th agenda.
