TOWN OF MACEDON

PLANNING BOARD

August 25, 2008

PRESENT: Chairman Doug Allen, members Suzanne Airy, Mert Bartels, Mark McEwen and Tom Morrison. Also present were Town Engineer Scott Allen and Board Clerk Susan Bush. Absent were Brian Gagne and Kevin Rooney.

Chairman Allen called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m.

NEW BUSINESS:

PB-12-08 – Deys – 1208 Route 31F – Public market site plan – Richard Deys, Jr., was present to explain his proposal. Mr. Deys has an agreement with the Macedon Historical Society to operate a public farmers’ market in their old Grange building at the corner of Route 31F and Canandaigua Road. This endeavor is an allowed use within the zoning and has received a variance from the Appeals Board for the lot size. Site plan approval is required from the Planning Board. The market would operate seasonally from March to December, Saturday only, 7:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. An Amish shed maker has one shed on-site as a display with the possibility of two more. Most vendors are housed inside the Grange building; however, a few may be outside during the peak summer months. Additionally, a feed vendor is housed in the shed to avoid the attraction of pests within the main building. Special events such as chicken barbecues will be held on an occasional basis. They would also have pumpkins available in the fall on a self-serve basis and possibly Christmas tree sales from Thanksgiving into December. Traffic and parking issues were discussed. Mr. Deys felt the vehicle traffic and parking volume were no greater than that generated by a previous use of the building as a church. Wayne County Planning Board recommended approval with concerns for off-street parking and traffic control.

A motion was made by Mert Bartels, seconded by Suzanne Airy, for negative SEQR declaration with traffic to be mitigated by no parking along Route 31F, and applicant to control & restrict traffic/parking using cones, etc. All in favor; motion carried.

A motion was made by Mert Bartels, seconded by Mark McEwen, for site plan approval subject to the following conditions: (1) Seasonal market (including maximum of one chicken barbecue per month) from March to December with the exception of feed vendor; (2) Hours of operation 7:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Saturday only, with exception of pumpkin & Christmas tree sales; (3) Maximum of three sheds on-site; (4) Site to be cleaned up when not in use; (5) Proper electrical installation for feed shed; (6) Parking to be on-site only; (7) Applicant to control traffic through road cones, etc., to avoid parking along roads & prevent vehicles from backing onto highways. All in favor; motion carried.

LOG-INS:

PB-13-08 – Marvin – 1287 Victor Road – One-lot realty subdivision & residential site plan

ZBA REFERRAL:

Z-04-08 – Smith – 1262 Route 31F – Area Variance – Section 135 Schedule I – Side setback for expansion of non-conforming building – Applicant would like to add to an existing barn which has a 2 ft. side setback. Addition would extend along that 2 ft. side setback. Board gave a positive referral but would like to have agreement with this request from the adjoining property owner.

Z-05-08 – Macedon Marketplace – 515 Sampson Drive – Area Variance – Sections 135-189-L, 135-190-B, 135-191-A, C, D – Number & size of signs – Board gave a positive referral on the two pylon signs; however, they would like to see the second sign at the Wal-Mart access road scaled down to contain only the plaza name. Board gave a negative referral for the requested increase to 2 sq. ft. of signage per linear ft. of building front.
