OLD BUSINESS:

PB-14-07 – Spectra Development – Route 31/North Wilson Road – ABVI/Goodwill – Site plan revision – Present were Andy Hart and Jeff Bush from Bergmann Associates and Tim Giarusso from ABVI/Goodwill. ABVI/Goodwill is proposing some minor site plan/building changes to allow their facility to be LEED certified for energy efficiency. Mr. Hart then itemized the changes: (1) Accommodate alternate transportation by providing a bicycle rack and changing/shower room for employee use; (2) Increase green space on site by lowering the number of parking spaces from 104 to 101; (3) Encourage lower emission/fuel efficient vehicles by providing designated parking spaces (5% of total – 5 spaces); (4) Reduce light pollution by lowering the height of light poles and adding two (2) sets of poles in the middle of the parking lot; (5) Reduce heat from the roof by changing to a matte white material; (6) Change accent color on the parapet roof & roof line to blue instead of green in line with ABVI’s colors; (7) Add a dumpster enclosure at the rear of the building with fencing to match that of the A/C units; (8) Lighten the grey color on the front peak for more contrast with the ABVI logo. If changes are approved, Mr. Hart will submit new mylars to be signed. Applicant would like to get building permit in February with an opening date in September. Board members reviewed the changes. Agreement was reached on reconfiguration of the parking spaces without compromising the 2-way traffic lanes in front of the building. A motion was made by Kevin Rooney, seconded by Mert Bartels, to approve the site plan changes as submitted with modification to drive aisle/islands as discussed. All in favor; motion carried.

ZBA REFERRAL:

Z-06-08 – Prime Development – 1241 Route 31 – Area Variance – Sections 135-190-A & C, 135-191-B – Number & size of signs – Kevin Hartson of Prime Development and Scott Francis of McDonald’s Corp. were present to explain this sign package. The number of signs has been reduced by removing directional signs that are Code compliant. A new design for the monument sign has been proposed; however, only a rough sketch was available to show the Board. The square footage remains the same, and the new design conforms with other signs along Route 31 such as Wal-Mart. Mr. Hartson will submit the revised design to the Board prior to their next meeting. Applicant also agreed to eliminate one (1) set of enter/exit signs along Route 31 and one (1) set on the cross-access to Dunkin’ Donuts. Remaining signs will be Code compliant. Board will make their formal recommendation to the ZBA at the next meeting.

One other change on the site plan was noted by Mr. Hartson. The outside vacuums have been moved from the west side to the east side of the property. Board members agreed with the change.

TOWN BOARD REFERRALS:

Gerken – 1727 Canandaigua Road – Special Use Permit – Public & semi-public use (dance/fitness studio) – George Gerken was present to explain this request. Mr. & Mrs. Gerken have a large bonus room above their garage which they would like to use for a fitness & dance club. They will be the only employees. A maximum class size of 12 is expected, but there could be up to 30 people on special occasions. There are two driveways with ample parking to accommodate those vehicles. Board members were concerned about “overflow” parking along the road or in Bullis Park. Mr. Gerken stated he would monitor the parking to be sure that situation did not occur. A motion was made by Kevin Rooney, seconded by Mert Bartels, to make a positive referral to the Town Board. All in favor; motion carried.
