PRESENT: Chairman Doug Allen, members Tom Ferreri, Brian Gagne, Mark McEwen, Tom Morrison and Kevin Rooney. Also present was Town Engineer Scott Allen. Absent were Board member Mert Bartels and Town Councilman Ken Nawrocki.

Chairman Allen called the meeting to order at 7:33 p.m.

PB-31-04 – Wal-Mart Supercenter/APD Engineering – Route 31 – Site plan & realty subdivision – Present on behalf of the applicant were Neal Madden, Harter, Secrest & Emery, Steve Cleason, APD Engineering, Ray Trotta, Bergmann Associates, and Robert Sierk, Total Lighting Concepts.

SEQR – The Board reviewed the Part 3 evaluations of previously identified Part 2 items. NYSDOT has accepted the traffic mitigation plan in principle. The Town and County will also be working on the plan for Wayneport Road. Board consensus was to go forward with the SEQR approval. Tom Ferreri indicated he would abstain from voting as he had not had time to review the evaluations.

Motion for negative SEQR declaration made by Brian Gagne, seconded by Kevin Rooney. Roll Vote: Ferreri – abstain; Gagne – yes; McEwen – yes; Morrison – yes; Rooney – yes; Doug Allen – yes. (Resolution attached) Clerk's Note: SEQR Resolution available in Building Office.

Lighting – Robert Sierk of Total Lighting Concepts responded to the Board's questions regarding parking lot lighting. Applicant would like the pole heights to remain at 42 ft. for security and safety. This height allows the best light "spread" to avoid hot spots and shadows. Light fixtures are 1000 watt, metal halide. Scott Allen asked if there were another store in the area with this type of lighting. Because these fixtures are relatively new, there may not be another application in the area. As proposed, the footcandle average is 3.0 with a spread of 2.8 to 5.8. Lowering the pole height would mean more poles and higher intensity. Applicant to provide more information for next meeting.

Signs – Rendering of a pylon sign from another Wal-Mart was presented for Board review & input. APD will work on revisions with the sign company. Scott Allen asked for a comprehensive list of all signs – building-mounted, directional and pylon – including the number and square footage. Planning Board will approve the overall design, but the Zoning Board of Appeals will have to act on any variances for size and number.

Materials – Ray Trotta presented a sample board of the building's exterior brick.

Subdivision – Minor changes have been made in the subdivision to accommodate the town-dedicated road.

Trailer Storage – Due to cost, applicant would like to retain the chain link/vinyl slat fence. Pallet storage area is planned to be masonry. Board members felt all storage areas should match. After discussion, split-face block appeared to be an agreeable alternative.

Miscellaneous – Oil hoods will be installed in the storm sewer inlets to contain oil and sediment. Wal-Mart will maintain these on a regular schedule. It was suggested the Town could install these on the dedicated roadway. Crossings of the gas main have been reduced to three – storm sewer, sanitary sewer and water main.

Z-04-05 – Morrison – Various locations – Interpretation – Special Use Permits – Board felt there were no planning issues involved and offered no opinion.

Z-05-05- Packard – 438 Route 31F – Area Variance – Side setback – The Board had no concerns with this request.

Z-06-05 – Sharp – 2828 County Line Road – Area Variance – Section 135-61-B-3 – Size of accessory structure – The Board had no concerns with this request.

PB-03-05 – Lawrence – 1339/1342 Eddy Road – Rezoning to NCD – Chairman Allen recused himself from the Board for this action. He will be representing the applicant, Charleen Lawrence, his mother-in-law. The requested rezoning is one parcel that is split by Gananda Parkway and bordered on the south by Eddy Road. The west side of the road contains the farm market/corn maze. The east side is vacant farm land. Both sides adjoin NCD zoning. The Allens would like to move their farm market and maze to the south side of Eddy Road at some point in the future. The rezoned parcel could be developed as light industrial, allowing expansion from Research Forest, or possibly residential use. Restrictions could be placed on the ultimate use(s) of the property. Gail Ellsworth, 3025 Canandaigua Road, noted the NCD code allows for expansion by the "developer". Mr. Allen responded that as owner they would be the developer. Motion made by Kevin Rooney, seconded by Mark McEwen, for a positive referral with the request the Town Board specify uses as part of their approval. All in favor; motion carried.

Motion made by Tom Ferreri, seconded by Mark McEwen, to approve the 3-14-05 minutes. All in favor; minutes approved.

Motion to adjourn made by Tom Ferreri, seconded by Brian Gagne. All in favor; meeting adjourned at 9:38 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,

Susan Bush

Clerk to the Board
