G. Lake: Let me go through the Board.

P. Owen: Nothing.

R. Carr: Dick, is that fireproof mulch?

D. McGoey: No, it’s fire resistible.

R. Carr: At this point, I see the Fire Departments. . .

G. Lake: It’s becoming a real problem for the fire departments in the malls. It just sets right up.

R. Carr: Over where Aldi’s is where we put in crushed stone instead of mulch, it’s all over the parking lot. I don’t know, there’s that many fires from the mulch?

G. Lake: Especially at the plazas. How about Mr. Smith’s comments? Dick, did you see these?

D. McGoey: Yes I did.

G. Lake: Standard?

D. McGoey: They’re standard. There is nothing out of the ordinary.

G. Lake: Do you want to look through Mr. Smith’s comments first? I’m sure you’ve seen them already.

K. Pinkham: Actually, no I haven’t.

G. Lake: I mean, they’re pretty standard. All I’m looking for is a yes or a no.

B. Gesztesi: Yes. We certainly have no problems.

G. Luenzmann: I have a couple of questions. The Mexican Restaurant is going to locate in one of these buildings?

K. Pinkham: That’s his plan at this time.

G. Luenzmann: Will he be having a bar or a drinking establishment?

B. Gesztesi: At this point, he doesn’t have a liquor license. I don’t know what he’s intending beyond that. I do know prior to that use, D.J.’s was there for a long period of time. We’re not really looking for a place.

G. Luenzmann: Dick, did he satisfy all your comments? Is there anything outstanding in your mind?

D. McGoey: Yes. It’s not totally. I have issues with the plans not showing fire department comments, etc.

G. Luenzmann: So, these are mostly technical comments?

D. McGoey: Yes.

G. Luenzmann: I have no further questions.

G. Monaco: Aren’t there two new houses being built near this?

G. Lake: I think there’s only one house.

G. Monaco: I was just thinking if a bar was going in. I have no other questions.

T. Hamilton: One question. Dick, did you look at the dumpster? That’s pretty far away from the rest of the building, especially if they have doors in the back of the whole complex, they’re going to wheel this stuff all the way to that location to accommodate these two buildings.

D. McGoey: That’s all they need.

T. Hamilton: That size for that many square feet?

D. McGoey: The restaurant alone will probably take that one alone.

T. Hamilton: Just seeing where it is and how they’re going to get to it. I don’t want to see any of those rolling ones lined up all behind that building like we’ve had problems in other areas.

D. McGoey: You should request another dumpster.

T. Hamilton: No, if it’s big enough. I just want them to know that we’re not looking to see all these portables lined up behind each back door of the store. It has happened to us because they don’t want to go all the way to the dumpster location.

D. McGoey: Have a note put on the plan, no dumpster’s in the back.

G. Lake: Okay. Do you understand? You’re going to put a note on saying . . .

K. Pinkham: Absolutely.

G. Lake: If they need another one, they’ve got to come back, Dick?

D. McGoey: Back to the Board.

B. Gesztesi: Put another dumpster in.

G. Lake: Put it someplace else. You will have to come in to amend your Site Plan. You can do that at a later date. Dick, do you have any other comments?

D. McGoey: No.

5. JACKSON - 7 LOT SUBDIVISION - Reservoir Road (32-2-53) #011-003 - CANCELLED.


6. NICAJ - 8 LOT SUBDIVISION (FINAL APPROVAL) - Sands Road (14-2-22.3 & 22.4) #040-001

G. Lake: Tell us where you’re at.

R. Ferris: We’ve been back to the Health Department on issues that we had to overcome. We had expected to have Health Department Approval by tonight. It’s in the works but we still don’t have it.

G. Lake: You don’t have that approval? How long have you been in there now?

R. Ferris: Just a year. We got caught with the bad weather last year and then this year we excavated for the Health Department. We had to have that stabilized. Then they wanted some water testing to be done on some of the lots. If you notice one of the lots was omitted from the original submission. Nine lots is now eight lots. This has been a problem with the Health Department.

G. Lake: So basically, you don’t have their approval yet?

R. Ferris: No.

G. Lake: How about Dick’s comments? Are these new Dick or are these the ones just left from. . .

D. McGoey: One is the reduction of the lots, that’s new. He may be changing the lot lines.

R. Ferris: There is only one line removed. There’s a garage and a well. The site distances are on the plan. These are technical items.

G. Lake: Can we even do anything without Health Department?

D. McGoey: No. You can grant two extensions together.

G. Lake: Are you through the extension period? Are you going to need an extension?

R. Ferris: Yes.

D. McGoey: He received a one year extension on the 19th of November, 2003.

G. Lake: So, he’s okay there. You have been in the Health Department for a year now?

R. Ferris: Yes. We got caught last winter and they couldn’t do testing until May.

T. Hamilton: The Highway Department. Has he seen those comments?

G. Lake: They may be new because Mr. Lippert maybe just sent them.

R. Ferris: We didn’t receive those comments.

G. Lake: So basically all we can do is table the application until he gets final approval from the Health Department?

D. McGoey: Yes.

MOTION to table for HEALTH DEPARTMENT APPROVAL made by G. Luenzmann and seconded by G. Monaco.

P. Owen: Aye

R. Carr: Aye

T. Hamilton: Aye

G. Monaco: Aye

G. Luenzmann: Aye

G. Lake: Aye

MOTION CARRIED. 6 AYES


7. GOLF RIDGE ESTATES - 13 LOT SUBDIVISION (FINAL APPROVAL) Sands Road (14-2-13) #058-002

R. Ferris: I’m representing the applicant. This one is also connected to the Health Department. The Health Department has reduced the lots from fifteen to thirteen so two of the lots were combined. Again, I thought we would have approval from the Health Department. They’re response time is taking longer and longer between submissions.

G. Lake: So, this is the same problem as the previous?

R. Ferris: Yes. All the technical comments have been answered so, it’s just Health Department.

G. Lake: Do you need an extension for this?

R. Ferris: Yes, I’m going to need one.

T. Hamilton: There are highway comments also.

MOTION for a ONE YEAR EXTENSION made by G. Luenzmann and seconded by G. Monaco.

P. Owen: Aye

R. Carr: Aye

T. Hamilton: Aye

G. Monaco: Aye

G. Luenzmann: Aye

G. Lake: Aye

MOTION CARRIED. 6 AYES


8. BOWSER - 3 LOT SUBDIVISION (SKETCH) - Bowser Road (21-1-27.31) #017-004

M. Miele: I’m the Engineer for the applicant. First, I know the somebody called several times. We just resolved the owner’s endorsement. Do you want it now or come back tomorrow? It is a proposed three lot subdivision on Bowser Road. Two smaller acre lots and the remaining lands. Based on work shops a while ago we wanted to see possible potential future development after this subdivision that’s with the cul-de-sac and potential lot lines represent. Right now we’re just looking for lot #1 and lot #2 and the remaining lands of lot #3 in the back. I got Mr. McGoey’s comments which will be addressed, site distance, adjoining property owners and stuff like that we will address. I am looking for any comments on the layout or any problems.

G. Lake: Is that a ridge line back there?

D. McGoey: I don’t know. I had a hard time finding it. I went out there and couldn’t find the site.

G. Lake: Mr. Owen, do you have any comments, it’s only here for sketch.

P. Owen: Nothing right now.

R. Carr: Dick, your comment #4, the width of the access road.

M. Miele: I can show you. It’s over fifty, I think it’s fifty two.

G. Lake: And lot #1 and lot #2 is two hundred?

M. Miele: Over two hundred, two hundred fourteen and one hundred ninety nine.

G. Lake: Why don’t we get them both at least two hundred.

R. Carr: I really don’t have a problem with lot #1 or lot #2. Lot #3, I don’t know. I wouldn’t want to give any kind of indication that you can do anything with lot #3 in terms of running a cul-de-sac back there.

M. Miele: I mean, we’re not looking for any king of approval. It was just for . . .

R. Carr: I didn’t indicate that.
