PUBLIC HEARING:

PB-14-09 – Sapp – Route 350 – 3-lot realty subdivision & 2-lot residential site plan – A motion to open the public hearing was made by Kevin Rooney, seconded by Brian Gagne. All in favor; motion carried. Applicant Fred Sapp and his engineer, Mike Sponable of John Greene Associates, were present to explain this request.

OLD BUSINESS:

PB-14-09 – Sapp – Route 350 – 3-lot realty subdivision & 2-lot residential site plan – Preliminary & final – Mr. Sponable explained this is a two-part application. Two lots with site plans (FS-1 of 1.78 acres & FS-2 of 1.87 acres) are being subdivided from an 11.5 acre parcel with the balance of the land to be merged with an adjoining parcel owned by the applicant. The merged parcel (34± acres) is being retained by Mr. Sapp for his own residence (previously approved site plan). In addition, a 50’ x 150’ parcel at the rear of 2889 Route 350 is being subdivided from the 34 acres and will be merged with 2889 as an accommodation between neighbors. The site plan features were then reviewed: Water service/pressure, landscaping (trees to define property lines), walk-out basements, drainage, driveway sight distances and house elevations. Questions were raised regarding the sight distance on the north lot (FS-1). Even though the driveway meets requirements, Mr. Sapp stated he would be raising the elevation by 18” to increase the sight distance. Another concern was the drop in grade from the basement walk-outs. Mr. Sapp responded that if there is not sufficient drop a retaining wall will be added around the walk-outs. It was requested that a note to that effect be added to the final plan. In addition, a misprint on the grading elevation around the house on FS-1 will be corrected on the final mylar. A motion for negative SEQR declaration was made by Mert Bartels, seconded by Kevin Rooney. All in favor; motion carried. A motion was made by Brian Gagne, seconded by Tom Morrison, to grant preliminary and final approval for a three-lot subdivision and two-lot residential site plan, contingent upon grading to be changed on plan as discussed. All in favor; motion carried.

NEW BUSINESS:

Murphy Funeral Home – 1040 Route 31 – Parking lot expansion – Mike Murphy was present to request approval for a 75’ x 75’ addition to the west end of their parking lot. Parking spaces will be configured to match those in the existing lot, and traffic flow will remain the same. With the expansion, the distance from the pavement to the west property line would be 50± ft. Board members had no concerns, pending the Town Engineer’s review for setback requirements along Route 31.
