OLD BUSINESS:

 

PB-14-14 – Baldwin-Richardson Foods – 3268 Blue Heron View – Site plan modification – Building expansion – Final – Randy Bebout of TY Lin International addressed the Board.  This project received sketch plan approval on November 10, 2014.  Since that time the plans to expand the building have been revised and the parking areas have been modified.  The building addition has been increased by approximately 1,400 sq. ft., housing the same uses as previously proposed.  Additional pavement has been added to square off the parking lot with an additional island to help direct the traffic flow.  There are no changes in utilities, stormwater handling, etc.  New floor plans and building elevations were distributed to the Board members.  Mr. Bebout indicated the County Planning Board comments have been addressed by the applicant.  He also stated building plans are being developed and should be submitted to the Town in the next 30-60 days, with a possible start in late summer or early fall.  A motion for negative SEQR declaration was made by Kevin Rooney, seconded by Greg Whitney.  All in favor (Bartels, McEwen, Morrison absent); motion carried.  A motion for final site plan modification approval was made by Kevin Rooney, seconded by Suzanne Airy.  All in favor (Bartels, McEwen, Morrison absent); motion carried.

 

PB-03-14 – Auto Zone – Route 31 – Three (3) lot subdivision & commercial site plan – Joe Ardieta of Vanguard Engineering was present on behalf of the applicant.  The public hearing for this application will be held on February 23, 2015.  Mr. Ardieta brought the Board up to date on the site plan and building elevations.  Since sketch plan approval, sewer access has been determined, and NYS DOT has reviewed the project with applications pending.  Site plan has been revised to move the stormwater pond and embankment out of the right-of-way per DOT.  As a result, the entire site has been moved to the south to fit the pond onto the property.  The pond water cannot be discharged directly into the DOT storm sewer.  It will go into a swale and then into the catch basin.  The revised building elevations were reviewed.  Building now appears more like the store proposed for Penfield.  Colors have been modified, variations added to the roofline along with columns on the sides.  Rooftop mechanicals will be hidden behind the parapets.  Proposed building material is smooth-face block.  Board members requested a change to split-face block.  A pylon sign is proposed on Route 31 east of the stormwater pond.  Applicant does not plan any concrete paving other than curbs.  Access to Route 31 for all three lots will be a full access, 30 ft. drive lane, which will accommodate large trucks.  Mr. Ardieta asked to have final approval granted at this meeting, but was advised the public hearing will be at the next meeting on February 23rd and any approvals could be granted at that time.
