1. PUBLIC HEARING 7:30 P.M. - DR. WODKA - SITE PLAN REVISION - 30 Industrial Drive (41-1-88) #038-002

G. Lake: Public Hearing started at 7:35 P.M. M. Hunt read the Public Hearing notice.

M. Hunt: NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a PUBLIC HEARING of the Planning Board of the Town of Wallkill, Orange County, New York, will be held at the Town Hall at 600 Route 211 East, in said Town, on the 4th day of February, 2004 at 7:30 P.M. or as soon thereafter as the matter can be heard that day on the application of Dr. Michael Wodka, 30 Industrial Drive, Middletown, New York 10941 for approval of a site plan revision, for a 12'x16' shed at 30 Industrial Drive & Fortune Road West, under Section 239-40 of the Zoning Law of the Town of Wallkill. All parties of interest will be heard at said time and place. S/Gary Lake, Chairman

G. Lake: When did you post this in the paper? Do you have a copy of the whole page by any chance?

M. Wodka: It was in the Times Herald Record Wednesday, January 28th.

G. Barone: It was to be sent at least ten days before the meeting. So, if it was in the paper January 28th, that’s only seven days.

M. Hunt: You know, I didn’t give your secretary a time frame. I did tell her on Monday that she should get it in the paper not realizing it wasn’t ten days. I was thinking Monday in the paper would be ten days by the time she got there.

G. Barone: Sir, what the code says is what the code says.

G. Lake: Unfortunately, you just heard our Attorney. We’re not going to be able to move forward. You will need another date.

G. Barone: Make a motion to set another date and make sure you get your notice in ten days before the meeting.

M. Wodka: Can I comment on that?

G. Lake: Sure.

M. Wodka: With all due respect, I understand that a law is a law but when your secretary MaryLynn, the first time I was not even told that I had to put that specific notice in. Realizing that it did not go out at that time Certified but I was not made aware of that, even the first time that this hearing was to be held prior to the last time.

M. Hunt: The directions are attached to that packet.

G. Lake: You do get a packet. We did give you the information in the packet regardless if we lost that along the way, there’s really nothing we can do. Unfortunately the law is a law.

M. Wodka: Can I have some clarification? Ten days, can it be more than ten days?

G. Barone: As long as it is in ten days before, but not forty five days before.

G. Lake: That should give you ample time. If you need a new packet or information.

M. Wodka: Another clarification. The way you stated that, I was assuming it was a site plan revision not just for the shed but for the special use on that property. Am I in error?

G. Lake: It’s a site plan revision.

M. Wodka: For the shed and the use?

G. Lake: Yes.

M. Wodka: I want to make sure I get it out the right way. Right Dick?

D. McGoey: What was the question?

G. Lake: He wanted to make sure it was printed up right. He has the shed, it’s a site plan revision and he going to have . . .

D. McGoey: No, he has a new use.

M. Wodka: Special Use.

D. McGoey: So, it needs to say site plan and special use for what you want to do.

2. PUBLIC HEARING 7:35 P.M. - WOLFE TOWING - SITE PLAN/SPECIAL USE PERMIT - Bloomingburg Road (3-1-33.1) #115-002

G. Lake: I think you have the same problem.

J. Wolfe: I went down to the Times Herald Record January 26th was when I did everything.

G. Lake: Unfortunately you have the same problem. How about, Mr. Barone, do I have to read this notice in since he has the same problem as the prior applicant?

G. Barone: You don’t have to read it in. You can make a motion to schedule another hearing.

G. Lake: How about those storage sheds? How did you make out with your landlord on that?

J. Wolfe: He was supposed to be coming. He said he owns those storage sheds.

D. McGoey: He has no approval for them. It’s not on the original site plan.

J. Wolfe: I will have to bring that to his attention.

A. Dulgarian: What’s the insulation, there is a sign that says insulation?

J. Wolfe: I have no idea.

A. Dulgarian: You are up to three or four uses. Be prepared to talk about that when you come back.

D. McGoey: The owner should call me.

J. Wolfe: He was supposed to show up at this meeting. I asked him to show up because I said the Board was going to have questions about the sheds. That’s what I told him. He told me he was going to be here.

G. Lake: We will put you on for April 7th, for your next Public Hearing but between now and then you’re really going to have to get a true site plan of what is there.

J. Wolfe: The owner just came in.

D. McGoey: The Board has questions about the other uses on this site. Storage sheds, and now another Board member has said there are signs for insulation.

J. Cooley: I’m warehousing insulation.

D. McGoey: You don’t have approval.

A. Dulgarian: You have to come back by the way. You just walked in. When you do come back, please have all these questions answered. If you need more uses put it on there.

D. McGoey: It has to be advertised also. What are the storage sheds on the site for?

G. Lake: Come on up to the front for a minute. Just let me explain, the Public Hearing notice went into the paper too late so we could not hold the Public Hearing tonight. We had to reset a new date for the Public Hearing. It has to be in the paper at least ten days before the meeting. Now, we’re just trying to figure it out so he can come back once and for all what all is there. The sheds are there, the insulation is there.

J. Cooley: That was approved for the warehouse, and retail business there. A friend of mine had a couple of sheds he wanted to sell. It’s a retail basis and I let him put them behind the fence as retail. The insulation is warehouse.

G. Lake: None of that was on your site plan when you were here.

J. Cooley: The warehouse and retail was.

G. Lake: What we have to do is bring the site plan up to date to show us what’s there and come back. Do you want him to come to a work session between now and the time he comes back so we can straighten it out and be done with it.

D. McGoey: Are you willing to continue to display the storage sheds or are you going to take them off the site?

J. Cooley: I can take them off the site.

D. McGoey: Okay. The insulation, is that a separate business?

J. Cooley: It’s warehousing of insulation for somebody.

D. McGoey: He did get approval for the warehouse. The sheds are outdoor display of merchandise.

J. Cooley: That’s not retail?

A. Dulgarian: It’s not on the map. It could be taking up a parking space.

J. Cooley: Okay. So if I show you where I want the sheds to be will that be considered warehouse approval if I show where they’re going to be behind the fence?

D. McGoey: If you’re going to display merchandise outside you have to show it on the site plan. If you want to modify the site plan for the next meeting you can do that. I would like to see that before we schedule you to come in.

A. Dulgarian: Correct me if I’m wrong Dick. When you add additional uses to what you have, there are also other requirements that go with it like parking and such. If your storage sheds are a separate business that may require additional parking for those customers. Your towing business may require additional parking and storage and perhaps an area for vehicles that are going to be stored. You have to be prepared to have all that on the map when you come back so we can get it done in one shot.

G. Lake: I think we should send him to a work session and get it all ironed out.

J. Cooley: The insulation is inside the building. He wants something a little bit outside the building which he’s already had work sessions on.

G. Lake: I realize that.

J. Cooley: And the sheds are off the lot. I think there’s one left and will be removed so why can’t you put him through and I will work on the work session on the other uses?

G. Lake: It doesn’t work that way. It’s the whole site. Unless you’re going to get everything off between now and then?

J. Cooley: Everything will be off.

G. Lake: Dick?

D. McGoey: If he takes everything off, then we will only approve the towing.

J. Cooley: And then I can come back later about the sheds?

D. McGoey: Yes you can. Make a separate application.
