D.
McGoey: And then you add for a restaurant.
J.
Braverman: We added another six per one thousand square feet.
A.
Dulgarian: And, that’s all back here.
D. McGoey: I can’t tell you the distribution.
A.
Dulgarian: I would want to make sure there is enough.
J.
Braverman: One of the reasons that we confined this project to
the original development in the back was because many of the retailers
in the back, two retailers are there or three. It is very under
traffic. It is a very unused lot. The parking lot in the back
is virtually empty all the time. One of the reasons to develop
it the way it was intended is to bring traffic to those retailers.
I understand your concern but what we have here and I understand
that the usual situation may be a dress shop or some store that
generates a lot more traffic than what is there. The reality is
we have a shopping center that is there and these are primarily
furniture stores. One very large one that has very little traffic
to it and even if it did have five or six customers, that would
be a lot for it to handle. Those are large sales. What we’re
trying to do is to generate enough traffic here for a healthy
traffic center. We’re not in the same situation as everybody
else who is already in business and throwing a restaurant in there
and it’s already crowded.
G.
Lake: Building #4, what’s that?
J.
Braverman: Right now, we’re also negotiating with a furniture
or carpet store.
P.
Owen: As long as the numbers match up and with the furniture store
not generating a lot of traffic, I can’t see this becoming
a problem area as we have had in other places where there are
retail stores that generate thousands of cars at one time.
G.
Lake: Mr. McGoey’s comments. Do you have any problems with
any of these other comments?
R.
Duff: No I don’t.
T.
Hamilton: This is the restaurant?
J.
Braverman: Yes.
T.
Hamilton: Does this restaurant reflect on that Site Plan the traffic
of the people coming in?
J.
Braverman: Yes.
T. Hamilton: Is the dumpster going to be where it shows?
J.
Braverman: Yes it is. And it will be covered the same as the rest
of it.
G.
Lake: On the landscaping, do you feel comfortable with what you
see and then leaving it up to Mr. McGoey. The Public Hearing is
closed, we already did that.
T.
Hamilton: What’s on the plan now? What is existing?
R.
Duff: All of the lighter trees are what exists. And all the darker
ones are all the new ones.
T.
Hamilton: Dick, along North Galleria . . .
D.
McGoey: Yes.
T.
Hamilton: Do you think four additional pieces of landscape is
enough to fill that in the way?
D.
McGoey: In that last corner what kind of trees are you talking
about?
T.
Hamilton: No. I’m talking about North Galleria Drive.
R.
Duff: Those are evergreens.
T.
Hamilton: There are only four new ones on this landscape plan.
The rest they are saying are pre-existing.
D.
McGoey: The ones that are pre-existing are fairly mature except
for that lower corner where you come around the curve.
T.
Hamilton: The lighting?
D.
McGoey: The lighting is okay.

1. PUBLIC HEARING 7:40 P.M. - THE STAGING LINE - SITE PLAN/SPECIAL
USE PERMIT - Carpenter Avenue (50-2-37.1) #031-003
G.
Lake: Public Hearing not published in time. Unfortunately we can’t
hold the Public Hearing. We understand there was a mis-understanding
as we suggest that you call next
week and get the information. The only other thing, the uses of
the property. You said they weren’t on the plan.
A.
Jaczko: They just currently came about and it seems like it will
go over very well and we would like to add it.
G.
Lake: If you are considering adding it, you have to add it and
you have to tell us. Why don’t you tell the whole Board
what that use is? It was brought to my attention a couple of weeks
ago.
A.
Jaczko: A couple of things we were thinking about adding in that
macadam area which is where the two r.c. tracks are being put
in is a place to host burn out contests and sixty foot time trials.
There really isn’t any type of zoning anywhere for what
we’re asking. I don’t know if we can work with the
Engineer in coming up with something. What a burn out contest
is, is people in their vehicles going up into a boxed out area.
We water the tires down and they run on the tires to create smoke.
The crowd judges who wins the burn out and we give them a trophy.
That’s pretty much what a burn out contest is. A sixty foot
time trial, what you would do is mark out the sixty foot mark
kind of like what we used to do years ago given them an area to
go from this point to this point and whoever does it in the quickest
time is the winner and that person gets a trophy. It was something
that was brought to our attention by the crowd that’s been
hanging out with us. There aren’t any regulations for a
sixty foot time trial but thirteen twenty there is. There is the
Jersey barriers that would have to be put in for something that
was thirteen hundred and twenty feet but not just for sixty feet
so again we’re kind of at a loss that there’s no regulation
other than what we have already.
G. Lake: I think I have the idea. I think you have two options.
The first option is to come back with exactly what you told us
before. We will try to get you on as soon as we can. The second
option, you’re going to have to go back to a work session
and look through the book and decide if you want to do that.
A.
Jaczko: Okay.
G.
Lake: The only way I think we can get you back much before September
17, 2003 if you leave everything the same as you told us before.
A.
Jaczko: Right.
G. Lake: If you want to add these items then you will have to
go back to a work session and then we will put you on the first
available agenda which is probably someplace in the vicinity of
November 19, 2003.
A.
Jaczko: I would like to get into my building before that. We will
leave it alone for now and we will come back at a later date.
T.
Hamilton: Now that he’s here and have it on record the work
he is doing will have to cease.
G.
Lake: Once you’re in the process no work is to be done.
Unidentified
Person: Even though he is going to be purchasing the property?
G.
Lake: That’s correct.
T.
Hamilton: The burn out. Mr. McGoey is there anything about burning
of rubber on to asphalt? I know the track is there now is a dirt
track. Noise elevations. What’s going to happen here with
the noise?
D.
McGoey: We definitely have safety issues.
G.
Monaco: The safety is my concern.
G.
Lake: Right now, what he wants to do is get back on for the Public
Hearing for exactly what he did.

CANCELLED.
5. ZEFFIRO - ZONE CHANGE REQUEST - MI to RA - Stony Ford Road
(61-1-39.22)
G.
Lake: You want to change the zone from MI to RA? Dick, have you
seen this?
D.
McGoey: Yes.
G.
Lake: Do they touch RA?
D.
McGoey: It does not appear that the lot is contiguous to any other
lands located in the RA zone therefore, it should be considered
spot zoning.
G. Lake: Right.
B.
Faro: What does that mean?
G.
Lake: Basically we’re not allowed to turn around and create
spot zoning. We don’t get into this. We recommend it to
the Town but you must have been to the Town Board and they sent
you here for our recommendation.
B.
Faro: Right.
G.
Lake: We send it to them back.
B.
Faro: This is the first place we’ve been.
G.
Lake: You haven’t been to the Town Board yet?
N.
Zeffiro: No. This is the first place. Carol Kelly gave us a letter
to come here.
T.
Hamilton: Wasn’t the letter to John Ward?
N.
Zeffiro: That’s right. I sent the letter to John Ward. My
mother wants to move up and the rest of our family are all here
and have houses.
P.
Owen: They referred it to us?
N.
Zeffiro: Okay.
G.
Lake: Mr. Barone, can we go ahead and set a Public Informational
Hearing?
