1.ORANGE COUNTY GOLF CLUB/TOWN OF WALLKILL - LOT LINE CHANGE - Golf Links Road (73-1-25, 781-41) #016-003

E. Smith: I’m the Water and Sewer Superintendent for the Town of Wallkill. I’m here to represent the Town on this issue. Basically what happens is the Town has a series of wells and the Health Department requires us to own a one hundred foot radius around the wells and to control a two hundred foot radius. Previously this land was owned by the Braeside Camp and we had a lease agreement that went back to the early 1960's. About a year and a half ago the Orange County Golf Club purchased the land and we’ve now come to an agreement with the Orange County Golf Club that we would purchased the one hundred foot radius around the wells as required by the Health Department. I see that Mr. McGoey had two comments from the last meeting. Just to clarify, the pole line has been removed because the power, I really don’t know what the pole line was there for. The power is underground and it goes along where you see number seven pretty much in a straight line. There is a note on the plan about no septic systems, no storm water management allowed in the one hundred foot area.

G. Lake: I will go through the Board.

P. Owen: It is pretty straight forward.

R. Carr: Nothing.

G. Monaco: Nothing.

T. Hamilton: Nothing.

2.HERITAGE HILLS S/D - EXTENSION - Lybolt Road (12-1-45) #030-001

L. Potter: I am with Lanc & Tully Engineering. We’re here requesting an extension to the Preliminary Approval. This will be the second extension. We’re are still in the Health Department. I’ve spoken to the Health Department on Thursday. They anticipate being done with the review in approximately two to three weeks.

G. Lake: How long have you been there?

L. Potter: Since last July. They’re review is, we also had to drill wells. We drilled four wells. The results of the wells had come back with some iron, something else (not clear) and some odor. We are going to treat for these and they felt that the wells are not developed. They only require a four hour stabilization pump test and they feel that we’re not really developing the wells so a lot of these problems that are showing up in the tests may be alleviated if we pump these wells further. However due to the bad winter we had it was difficult to get the well drillers back in and get the pump testing done correctly.

G. Lake: Dick, a six month extension?

D. McGoey: You can give them a year. The last one was only for six months.

G. Lake: I feel a year would be good also.

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

3.JAMES YOUNG PAVING - SITE PLAN/SPECIAL USE PERMIT - MODIFICATION - Enterprise Place/Tower Drive (40-1-48.1, 47.4) #008-003

T. Ptak: What we’re here to request of the Board is to amend our existing Site Plan to add a twelve thousand square foot metal building on the property that Mr. Young owns on Enterprise Place up near Tower Drive. The purpose of the building is basically so that he can bring in his equipment, store it inside rather than having it out in the yard and basically clean the place up. That’s the intent.

G. Lake: Okay. Dick’s comments before I go to the Board.

T. Ptak: The storage trailers have been removed. We’re not here to request a permit to have them on site. They are about ninety percent gone.

J. Young: That is correct.

T. Ptak: The next comment refers to the existing office building and the access on to Tower Drive. This building got Site Plan approval in the late 1987 to 1988. The building was put up and the entrance. Those improvements were put in by Howard Mills and Mr. Young bought the building from him. I really don’t know at this point what we could do to improve it.

G. Lake: There is nothing coming off of Enterprise for that?

T. Ptak: That’s correct. The reason being is to keep all the access so Mr. Young can see what’s coming and going. It’s that simple, for security. The curbing, when we spoke about that at the work session there was perhaps going to be an entrance over there but after it was discussed Mr. Young doesn’t to do that. I thought when you talked about that Dick, that you wanted curbing around that entrance so that’s why we didn’t show any. If you want curbing in front of the building with perhaps an island and some landscaping we have no problem doing that.

D. McGoey: Yes. Every use on the street has curbing.

J. Young: I understand. We can put curbing along the front side of the building.

G. Lake: I think this may need a Public Hearing any way. I think you should probably get on another work session and make sure that those things are ironed out.

T. Ptak: Why do we need a Public Hearing if we’re amending the Site Plan?

G Barone: He doesn’t need a Special Use Permit, he won’t require one. It’s only the Site Plan.

G. Lake: Let’s finish the comments.

T. Ptak: The landscaping proposed is insufficient. We recommend that landscaping be provided by the existing building. There is landscaping for the existing building. If you go up there, there are quite a few evergreens out in the front yard and there is some plantings around the building. It just simply was not shown on the survey. We have added a couple of trees to spruce that up a little bit but if you at it for the most part there’s quite a few trees in the front yard.

D. McGoey: I’m just thinking about driving by there. It doesn’t seem a lot.

Mr. Young: There are about fifteen trees in front.

T. Ptak: The catch basins. We have proposed catch basins in the back and as part of putting in those catch basins we also are proposing landscaping along that area. We have to put at least six inches of topsoil in there which will raise that up. Right now, it’s just all bare parking area basically. What we could propose along there is to put a depression of swale between the catch basins to pick up the water.

D. McGoey: Yes. You have to get it to the catch basin some how.

Mr. Young. I have drainage there now.

D. McGoey: What I need is for you to show how the water will get to the catch basins.

G. Lake: Mr. Ptak, I think basically what he is asking for is to show and how you’re going to get the water to the catch basins.

T. Ptak: As I mentioned what we’re going to do is we’re going to add topsoil there for the grass and the landscaping so that will raise it up and then put a swale which will be a depression right at the base of it and run it through the catch basins.

A. Dulgarian arrived at this time.

G. Lake: Dick hasn’t seen that yet.

D. McGoey: Can you show that on the plan?

T. Ptak: That’s what we would like to do. The lighting, we’re just going to use the wall packs just like you have out front. The high sodium lights, that’s it. Just for security.

D. McGoey: Will you give me a detail of that?

T. Ptak: Yes.

D. McGoey: We just don’t want it shedding light on the adjoining properties.

T. Ptak: It’s just going to be the wall packs just like you have in front. The request to be sure that it is tied into the Town’s datum. However, #3 refers to the USGS datum. When the surveyor did this survey and the work he tied into a previously approved lot that was done by another engineer and that’s what he tied into. The datum, is in fact, the Town’s datum. It’s just that the contours that are shown are thirty five hundredth higher which is about four inches.

D. McGoey: Every project get certified to the Town’s datum so we can cross reference them.

T. Ptak: I understand. It is in the Town’s datum and this was tied in to the pump supply that was approved further up the street when they did the work.

D. McGoey: Can we have it certified?

T. Ptak: I don’t see a problem.

G. Lake: Mr. Barone, you’re saying this doesn’t need a Public Hearing?

G. Barone: It doesn’t. As I understand it, he would have needed a Special Use Permit for the storage trailers, but he’s removing them.

G. Lake: He stated he’s removing them. He will be putting everything inside the building now. Is everything going inside that building?

J. Young: Sure. I’m getting rid of some of the older ones but, yes.

G. Lake: Dick, are you still comfortable with this?

D. McGoey: Yes.

G. Lake: I mean, there are a couple of items here if you want him to come back. I don’t think it’s going to change much.

D. McGoey: I don’t either. I think the landscaping is a big issue.

T. Hamilton: Dick, how does he get to the back building. I can’t see anything saying how they’re going to get to the front of that new building. I don’t see any driveway layout that shows or even blacktop.

J. Young: It’s all pre-existing.

T. Hamilton: I don’t see it on here marked and I’m not that familiar with what’s behind your building, that’s why I’m asking.

T. Ptak: Right now it’s basically, it’s all open. It’s got item #4 over the whole area. He’s going to come in the existing way.

T. Hamilton: Where does he come in? I see a fence but I don’t see any gate.

T. Ptak: He comes in off of Tower Drive.

T. Hamilton: Then where does he go from there?

T. Ptak: Right along side the building.

T. Hamilton: I see a fence across but I was just wondering how he was going to get behind there.

T. Ptak: That’s the reason that he wants to come in that way is to provide security.

T. Hamilton: I was looking for some sort of a gate to tell me that’s where he was going to go through. I didn’t see an access to actually get through there.

G. Lake: Let me go through the Board.

A. Dulgarian: The only thing I have was that the landscaping does look a little inadequate especially along Enterprise Place and Tower. The building is strictly for storage, no retail going on in there?

J. Young: All of it will be for storage. Everything is being ruined.

A. Dulgarian: I would like to see some additional landscaping.

J. Young: I have no problem. I want to clean it up once and for all.

P. Owen: Additional landscaping.

R. Carr: I concur.

G. Monaco: Same.

T. Hamilton: Same.

G. Lake: So, you’re going to beef up the landscaping?

J. Young: Yes.

G. Lake: Dick, let’s get back to the question that you’re right, you are a little behind but a lot of these are just engineering issues. Do you feel comfortable with us doing a subject to your comments?

D. McGoey: Yes.

G. Lake: And, you’re re-checking it?

D. McGoey: Right.

G. Lake: Does the Board feel okay with that?

A. Dulgarian: Yes.

G. Lake: All the trailers will be gone by the time you come back?
