OLD BUSINESS:
PB-11-10 – Pulcini (Rudovitz)
– Kittering/West Walworth Roads –
Single-family residential site plan – Preliminary & final – Applicant David
Pulcini, Jr., presented a revised site plan showing
the requested landscaping details. Trees
will be evergreens with some hardwoods near the proposed driveway. The Town Engineer advised the applicant of
the existence of farm drainage tiles on the property. One known tile may be in the area of the
septic system. If encountered during
excavation, tiles must be remediated. He also stated the Town will be cleaning the
ditch along Kittering
Road. The
Highway Supervisor has indicated they will need 40 ft. of pipe (24” diameter)
for this property. A motion for negative
SEQR declaration was made by Kevin Rooney, seconded by Tom Morrison. All in favor; motion carried. A motion to grant preliminary & final
residential site plan approval was made by Kevin Rooney, seconded by Tom
Morrison. All in favor; motion carried.
PB-12-10 – Keller – 815
Quaker Road – One-lot realty subdivision –
Preliminary & final – Applicant Joe Keller explained a revision to his
original request. He would like to
increase the road frontage for Lot #2 from 25
ft. to 30 ft. to allow separate access for both lots. By increasing Lot #2’s frontage, Lot #1 will require a variance for the side setback of
the existing building (70 ft. actual vs. 75 ft. required). An application has been made to the Zoning
Board of Appeals for the necessary variance.
If the variance is not granted, Mr. Keller will revert to the 25 ft.
frontage on Lot #2 with shared access between
the lots. The applicant intends selling
Lot #1 and eventually building a new facility on Lot
#2. Board members were in favor of
separate access for each of the lots, avoiding future problems that could arise
with shared access. A motion for
negative SEQR declaration was made by Mert Bartels, seconded by Greg
Whitney. All in favor; motion
carried. A motion was made by Kevin
Rooney, seconded by Mark McEwen, to grant preliminary & final realty
subdivision approval, contingent upon a variance being granted by the Appeals
Board. All in favor; motion carried.
In conjunction with the
subdivision application, the Board reviewed the ZBA application for Keller (Z-07-10 – 815 Quaker Road – Area
Variance – Section 135 Schedule I – Side setback) – A motion was made by
Kevin Rooney, seconded by Mert Bartels, for a positive referral to the
ZBA. All in favor; motion carried.
OTHER BUSINESS:
Waste Management – Wayneport Road – Cindy
Jessop and Jeff Richardson from Waste Management were present to review
landscaping improvements made along Wayneport Road during 2010. Ms. Jessop then reviewed the work to
date. In 2008 the berm
along Wayneport
Road was installed. In 2009, the first phase of planting was done
with evergreen and deciduous trees.
During 2010 additional trees were planted on the north end of the property
and around the existing cemetery, and previous plantings which had not survived
were replaced. In 2011 additional
plantings will be intermixed among the existing trees. Waste Management is working with a landscape
architect to coordinate this project. Technical
difficulties prevented a video presentation; however, hard copy documentation
will be provided for the file.
Mr. Richardson then reviewed
other items pertaining to the landfill.
Waste Management is considering building a recyclables transfer
shed. This would be a 3-sided shed where
local collection trucks would drop recyclables.
The material would then be transferred via larger trucks to their
processing facility in Liverpool,
NY.
