G.
Lake: We do not do deed restrictions on the size of houses. There
have been projects that have come in that way. As a whole we do
not sit here and say you need to build a four thousand square
foot house or a two thousand square foot house. Again, our job
is land management.
M.
Colon: What way could I find out that information? How can I find
out that information?
D.
McGoey: Ask the developer after the meeting.
P.
Thompson: Lot #11 looks as if it went into the beaver swamp or
dam. Do you know what I am talking about?
G.
Lake: Lot #11 you think goes into a beaver swamp.
A.
Dulgarian: Several of them do.
P.
Thompson: The lane that goes right up into my land, is the Fire
Department happy about that?
G.
Lake: That AT@ off of you?
P. Thompson: Yes.
G.
Lake: I believe that was worked out with the Department of Public
Works, Dick?
D.
McGoey: Yes. The Fire Department did review the application. They
didn't make any negative comments.
P.
Thompson: There will be room to turn around?
G.
Lake: Yes.
P.
Thompson: How wide is that road going to be?
D.
McGoey: Thirty feet.

G.
Lake: Do you have all the comments that were given to us?
L.
Potter: Yes.
G.
Lake: Let's go back to the Board.
A.
Dulgarian: For Mrs. Thompson's concern, several of the lots do
go into a wetland but there's no development allowed on them and
I think there's probably going to be deed restrictions on those
lots. My other question is lot #23. That's going to be forty eight
acres or something like that. I believe we talked about that there
would be no further subdivision on that but I would still like
to see something to protect those wetlands in the back.
G.
Lake: They can't build on the wetlands any way.
A.
Dulgarian: Right but you can always mitigate off site.
G. Lake: It would be pretty tough out there.
A.
Dulgarian: I'm just wondering. That's an awful big lot. It's turned
out better than it started out.
P.
Owen: The only thing that concerns me is the drainage.
L.
Potter: The drainage that is collected along the road in front
will be going into a storm drain where it would be let out at
a specific rate not to flood anything downstream. The other collection
system will be going into other area which will go back and drain
into the wetlands. The areas that are draining where the water
drains now will be remain draining in those directions. Any water
on the site will be going into the areas that are already designated.
R.
Carr: I'm concerned about the road runoff and I agree with Dick's
comments that the drainage basin being well landscaped.
L.
Potter: We will take care of that. I have Mr. McGoey's comments
and we will be addressing them.
R.
Carr: The other thing that I didn't see especially in the back
lot there's some large trees.
L.
Potter: This area is all wooded. The lighter green is the area
we are clearing for the building of the houses and the septic
systems. All the other trees will remain. We have a note on the
plan that we will save any trees over eight feet in diameter that
we can.
R.
Carr: My only other concern is the drainage.
G.
Lake: I think there was some question on the drainage going across
the road.
L.
Potter: We try to collect the first half inch of rain in order
to prevent any type of flooding going down and then the outlet
is sized such that after the storm the water will continue to
run out at a reduced rate thereby not flooding the downstream.
G.
Luenzmann: I just wanted to question lot #23. There's going to
be a house on lot #23 and they are going to buy a house with 2,ll0
acres.
L.
Potter: No. Forty eight acres.
G. Luenzmann: Okay. But the forty eight acres, that is a lot of
Federal Wetlands and forest?
L.
Potter: It's a wooded lot. This area here is Federal and State
Wetlands. This is all wooded.
T.
Hamilton: Dick, on here it says the Town drainage district. Shouldn't
we have some kind of note on here saying that these people can
put that on here?
D.
McGoey: It is.
T.
Hamilton: Did we get clarification on the Agricultural District?
G.
Barone: It doesn't require a Public Hearing simply because the
project is within five hundred feet of a farm operation, Agricultural
District.
T.
Hamilton: We are following all the steps?
G.
Barone: Yes.
G.
Lake: I should have told you that.
G.
Barone: The only issues with the Agricultural District are the
applicant has to do the mailing and supply you with proof of mailing.
L.
Potter: Which we have done.
G.
Barone: And that the application and the Agricultural Data Statement
goes to the Town Planning Agency.
G.
Lake: We did that.
L.
Potter: Yes.
G.
Monaco: The drainage, has that been engineered for the gallons
per minute?
L.
Potter: Yes. Mr. McGoey will be reviewing the drainage report.
A.
Dulgarian: Who maintains that pond?
G. Lake: A couple of ways. Have you made an agreement with Dan
Patenaude on this?
L.
Potter: Yes.
G. Lake: Are they paying the Town?
L.
Potter: There will be a drainage district formed and the monies
from the drainage district will help maintain.
A.
Dulgarian: I remember one that got out of hand and we had to go
back and fix it. Dick, what kind of an affect does road salt have
that comes into the wetlands?
D.
McGoey: There is a requirement for treatment and the design of
pipes required to flow across the lawn and the grass and other
vegetation before it gets to the wetlands.
A.
Dulgarian: So, it has been addressed?
D.
McGoey: Yes.
G.
Lake: Dick's comments. Do you have any problems with any of them?
L.
Potter: No.
G.
Lake: Do you need to go over them?
L.
Potter: I have no problem with them.
R.
Carr: Can you give us a detailed sheet of the lights?
L.
Potter: We can provide that. The lights we're providing are only
at the request of the Town to be placed at intersections and at
the end of the cul-de-sac for safety reasons, emergency reasons
not necessarily for lighting the road.
R.
Carr: I was just thinking of the other houses on that road.
G.
Lake: Anything else from the Board?
TABLED

3. CLUB PARADISE - SITE PLAN - Route 211 East (50-2-32.1) #004-002
W.
Smith: I am the Architect for the project. I'm here tonight to
seek Planning Board approval for a comedy club called Club Paradise.
It's going in a building that would be behind the Pizza Hut. That
building will be shared with Subway, and is where Transformations
used to be as a hair salon. It's going where Eclipse used to be.
It used to be a bar.
G.
Lake: It's been closed more than a year and that's basically why
you're here, right?
W.
Smith: Yes.
G.
Lake: Is the square footage or anything like that going to change?
W.
Smith: We are going to take the space next to Eclipse to be included
so there would be an increase in square footage.
G.
Lake: Was Transformations also a bar?
W.
Smith: No. That was a hair salon.
G.
Lake: Did you re-configure the parking?
W.
Smith: Yes. There is a lot in the back that is not used. I've
been there during Pizza Hut rush hour and there is plenty of parking
there.
A.
Dulgarian: I have no problem with the use. It's been that before.
I have no real issues except one question. Does that parking lot
still access the other side where Lloyds' used to be?
W.
Smith: No sir.
A.
Dulgarian: So that parking lot is just kind of a remote parking
lot now?
W.
Smith: Yes. When Stop & Shop went in they lifted the grade
up about six feet.
A.
Dulgarian: The only entrance to your proposed establishment will
be just the front?
W. Smith: Yes.
P.
Owen: I don't have any problems with it.
R.
Carr: Nothing other than there is no lighting in the back. It
is pretty dark. I don't think there is lighting. I was there today.
W.
Smith: I couldn't honestly answer that question.
R.
Carr: It says here a location for a dumpster. There are several
dumpsters in the back with a lot of debris. It would not be a
place I would want to park back there.
W.
Smith: If they have dumpsters, they should keep the area cleaner.
The Club Paradise won't produce any substantial garage.
R.
Carr: I do understand that.
G.
Luenzmann: Nothing.
T.
Hamilton: Nothing.
G.
Monaco: Nothing.
A.
Dulgarian: Mr. Carr has a valid point.
G.
Lake: About the lighting or about the dumpsters?
A.
Dulgarian: The dumpsters. We've required screened areas for dumpsters
for other projects that have come before us. I know this is visible
from the field and all that. We've asked this of many of our applicants.
G.
Lake: I think the problem right here is that this is somebody
who is going to be leasing the space from somebody who owns that
entire mall.
A.
Dulgarian: Understood. If this landlord wants to generate some
revenue from this particular applicant then maybe that's something
that should be added.
G. Lake: I think the case may be we should have the Code Enforcer
go down instead of trying to hold this up.
A.
Dulgarian: I wasn't looking to hold him up.
G.
Lake: I know what you are saying. I just don't know how we can
do that. I wouldn't want to put a subject to on a little piece
of it. Surely, you can take that back to the owner for us.
W.
Smith: I can certainly understand that.
G.
Lake: We will also probably be asking the Code Enforcer to look
at it.
W.
Smith: Just a note for tonight. My clients are not the owners
of the building.
G.
Lake: We understand that. I think Mr. Carr had a valid point also
as far as getting more light back there even if they only have
to put one up in the back on the building to shine a little light
back there.
W.
Smith: That's a good suggestion. I would agree to put something
on the building.
G.
Lake: That's really not a big expense. It is for safety reasons
if nothing else. Dick's comments. Do you have them?
W.
Smith: Yes. It was just a question of whether there was going
to be a need of a grease trap. I talked to Mr. Smith and he said
only if there was going to be a stove or a deep fryer and there's
not going to be. It will be a microwave.
G.
Lake: The parking calculation you said you already did and that
meets?
W.
Smith: Yes. The third comment is regarding the parking. I addressed
that on the plan.
G.
Lake: Mr. Barone, do we need a Public Hearing for this?
G.
Barone: This would be a use by Special Permit. You will be required
to have a Public Hearing.

4. MT. JOY ESTATES - 12 LOT SUBDIVISION - Mt. Joy Road (60-1-40.12)
#070-099
B.
Ostrer: I'm here tonight on behalf of the applicant. My purpose
for being here tonight is for an extension of Preliminary Approval.
We are before the Health Department and should be out in the next
couple of weeks.
G.
Lake: Is that the main hold up, the Health Department?
B.
Ostrer: I spoke with Mr. McGlocklin this week. There was a request
by this Board concerning a lighting district. We've prepared the
petition and the Order was delivered. That needs Town Board action
but the Town wouldn't take that action until they knew we were
a real subdivision coming out of the Health Department.
G.
Lake: Why don't you get the Health Department done with and then
come back to us?
T.
Hamilton: Will that satisfy you Dick?
D.
McGoey: Yes. We have other issues which are in the comments.
B.
Ostrer: I don't have them.
D.
McGoey: There's a lighting and a drainage district along with
other technical review comments.
B.
Ostrer: Okay.
G.
Lake: Right now the big question is the Health Department.

5. QUICKWAY INDUSTRIAL PARK #7 - SITE PLAN/SPECIAL USE PERMIT
- Turner Drive (40-1-57.22) #027-000
G.
Lake: I believe the last time you were here there was only one
outstanding item.
M.
Blustein: The Board should have a letter from Mr. Patenaude regarding
Turner Drive.
D.
McGoey: Yes.
M.
Blustein: John and Albert Frassetto are sitting here. The applicant
is a little bit unclear about is whether that refers to the entire
length of Turner Drive or just the part of Turner Drive, the cul-de-sac.
D.
McGoey: The entire Turner Drive.
M.
Blustein: They did the cul-de-sac and they know that it is up
to the specifications of the Town.
D.
McGoey: We don't know that unless core borings are taken.
G.
Lake: Did we talk to Dan on this?
D.
McGoey: We've discussed this with not only Dan but the Supervisor
and if everybody is in agreement with the traffic mitigation contribution,
that money would go toward re-paving that road if Dan intends
adding three and a half inches of asphalt on it.
M.
Blustein: You are requiring them to go ahead with the traffic
mitigation?
D. McGoey: It's what was in the agreement that we had with the
traffic light. I think it is one dollar per square foot. It's
part of the original agreement for all the lots in the Quickway
Industrial Park.
M.
Blustein: Have you paid the traffic mitigation fee for this project?
Mr.
Frassetto: Yes, everything has been paid.
D.
McGoey: He hasn't paid the fees on this project yet. He has paid
them on the other projects. Your fee will be similar to the other
projects.
M.
Blustein: So, what you're saying is the fee that would normally
have been set would have to be paid any way for the impact of
that road?
D.
McGoey: Correct.
M.
Blustein: We're going to ask for conditional approval subject
to the payment of the traffic mitigation fee.
D.
McGoey: Do you have any problems with my comments?
M.
Blustein: No. I have one issue with the Attorney about the note
he faxed me yesterday. I can talk to you later about it. It's
already been recorded.
G.
Barone: Give us something about that agreement.
M.
Blustein: The Chromolloy building has a mortgage on it and I'm
not sure that we can get it to co-ordinate the easement. Lending
institutions normally are not happy doing that. The only way it
would come into play is if Frassetto who wants to re-finance it
any way but they were to foreclose on the mortgage, they could
close out the easement. It runs for the benefit of that property.
I don't know why.
G.
Barone: In all likelihood they would agree.
M.
Blustein: That could take months.
G.
Lake: You will have to straighten that out. We can do an approval
subject to you hashing that issue out. That's what you are looking
for tonight from us.
M. Blustein: Yes.
G.
Lake: Dick, you have these few comments here? Any problems?
D.
McGoey: No problems.
G.
Lake: You have Turner Drive straightened out?
D.
McGoey: Yes.
M.
Blustein: Do you understand exactly what they were asking for?
Mr.
Frassetto: What ever we agreed to what we did originally, we will
agree.
M.
Blustein: Agreed.
