1. WAL-MART DISTRIBUTION CENTER - SITE PLAN/SPECIAL USE PERMIT

CANCELLED.


2. TINTLE/LEARY - 3 LOT SUBDIVISION - Howells Road (32-1-23) #084-002

D. Yanosh: I am the surveyor for the project. This is a 19.57 acre parcel of land in the RA zone on the west side of Howells Road. There is an existing two-story house and a barn and some old foundations on it. The proposal is for a three lot residential subdivision. Lot #1 would contain the existing house and barn 6.4 acres. Lot #2 which has fifty feet of frontage, a small little flag lot would have 6.54 acres. Lot #3 6.63 acres.

G. Lake: I take it you have received Dick?s comments.

D. Yanosh: Yes. The biggest thing I guess with his comments is the flag lot.

A. Dulgarian: A flag lot?

D. Yanosh: We looked at it and thought we could put a small road, a small cul-de-sac and develop it a little differently. They live in the big house. They are nice big lots. Instead of coming in with a cul-de-sac. We tried to keep lot #1 a little bit bigger. If somebody wants to have horses for the barn or something later on down the road. The Town is always looking for bigger lots.

P. Owen: It doesn?t bother me.

R. Carr: No problem.

G. Luenzmann: No problem.

G. Monaco: No problem.

T. Hamilton: No problem.

A. Dulgarian: I know Mr. Yanosh is very good at this stuff. I just don?t know any other way. I imagine it?s as good as it?s going to get.

G. Lake: Will you put a note on there, no further subdivision?

D. Yanosh: Sure.

3. MILLER - 7 LOT SUBDIVISION - Old Timers Road/Mt. Hope Road (14-1-13) #082-002


D. Yanosh: I am the surveyor for the project. This is a 33.57 acre parcel of land in the Town of Wallkill and also in the Town of Mount Hope. Lots #3, #4, and #5 do encumber the Town of Mount Hope. The proposal is for a seven lot residential subdivision for single family homes with a cul-de-sac at the end of Old Timers Road. This was previously subdivided on the southerly side of Old Timers Road, we cut off three lots. That was approved back in 2001 of July. We do have some flag lots. We have a cul-de-sac at the end. You saw a sketch of this when I first did the original subdivision. You asked for a future plan. I had more lots back here at one time. We have scaled it down. Lot #3 is a big lot, lot #4 is a big lot. We have some nice big lots back there. I know I don?t meet the required two hundred foot lot width on the roads. Lots #5 and #6 both are on the County Highway. We?re not going to use the road frontage for lot #6 off the County Highway. We?re going to come off of Old Timers Road and make it easier that way. We do meet the length from the cul-de-sac. They are one hundred fifty foot wide where the buildings are set back at. It?s almost similar to the ones we did across the street. Lots #1 and #2 are actually nicely wooded lots. They are three acres a piece also and secluded. The smallest lot is 2.6 acres. We still have lot #7 which is on the southerly side of Old Timers Road. It is an existing lot owned by Mr. Miller. It?s been owned by him for a while. We went to the Zoning Board of Appeals years ago to get a variance to put a house on that lot and got turned down. One of the recommendations of the Board at that time was to build the septic across the street.

D. McGoey: Dan, who owns the property around this?

D. Yanosh: Mr. Miller. It doesn?t meet the side requirements. It was just for sketch.

G. Lake: That little lot, that?s #7?

D. Yanosh: Yes. It?s across the street.

A. Dulgarian: Nothing.

P. Owen: Nothing.

R. Carr: Nothing.

G. Luenzmann: I have a problem with lot #5.

D. Yanosh: The lots off of Mount Hope Road are existing.


G. Luenzmann: I see that.

D. Yanosh: They?re existing lots that were created many years ago and were given access to the back.

G. Luenzmann: It?s almost like lot #6 shouldn?t be there.

D. Yanosh: Lot #5 is 4.82 acres. Lot #6 is 2.6 acres. Nice sized lots. My suggestion is to take a ride through there and see what this looks like. Some of it is meadow and some of it is wooded. We do have to delineate some Federal Wetlands in the back between lots #3, #4 and #5 through there. We are in the process of doing that now.

G. Monaco: Nothing.

T. Hamilton: Nothing right now. I?m having trouble following the lot lines.

G. Lake: Have you been in to a work session with this?

D. Yanosh: Yes.

T. Hamilton: I think he should try and work a little harder.

A. Dulgarian: You?ve got to do something. This is pretty ambitious. I don?t think it?s really good planning are our behalf to approve this the way the lot lines are.

P. Owen: I can?t really tell him to go ahead with this the way it is.

R. Carr: I don?t like it. It is unorthodox.

G. Luenzmann: It is unorthodox, the lot configurations. If it could be done better, I think he should give it another shot.

D. Yanosh: Are you looking at #5 and #6? If I combine the two together, you still have three different lots.

G. Monaco: Is there some way to . . .


T. Hamilton: Let him go back and look at it again. Dick, what about notifying the other Town?

D. Yanosh: We have to do that with the Public Hearing. There are no houses being built in the Town of Mount Hope. I can add a note to that affect.

G. Lake: I think you have the feelings of the Board. I think they would like to see it cleaned up a little bit.

D. Yanosh: You?re more or less concerned about the ones off of Mount Hope Road?

G. Lake: Right.

NO ACTION TAKEN.


4. MT. MEDICAL ACUPUNCTURE CLINIC - SITE PLAN - Maltese Drive/Route 211 East (54-1-13) #070-002

G. Smith: I?m an Engineer in Monticello. I?ve done a couple of minor revisions to the plan based on Dick?s comments.

G. Lake: Are they different from what we have?

G. Smith: The changes on here are different from what you have in front of you. Do you want me to explain briefly what we?re doing here?

G. Lake: Yes please.


G. Smith: This is a parcel situated on Route 211 East between Route 211 and Maltese Drive. It used to be the New York Telephone Company property. There is a building on there now a concrete block building. It was changed to Verizon when they bought it. Mr. Chee has purchased it from Verizon. I have a couple pictures of it. The property is in the Highway Commercial zone district of the Town. What we wish to do is to open an acupuncture clinic. He has one up in Sullivan County now and I imagine this would be similar to that one. The property is connected to Town sewer and Town water. Right now it?s a one-story concrete block building painted white with a lot of graffiti on it and garbage all around it. The driveway is off of Route 211. There?s a driveway that goes to the site back to Maltese Drive. The intent is to leave the driveway on Route 211 and leave the driveway on Maltese for egress and build another driveway for another entrance or ingress off of Maltese Drive. The Town zoning requires ten parking spaces. We are showing thirteen on the site. The second sheet or third sheet on your package is the landscaping plan with a whole variety of different shrubs and ornamental trees that are shown around the building and the perimeter of the property. For storm water we are showing a detention basin on the Maltese Drive side, which is the down grade side of the property and the drainage from the property goes to a culvert under Maltese Drive to a big field which is next to Silver Lake Fire Department and goes eventually into Silver Lake. That?s essentially the intent of this plan.

G. Lake: I will go through the Board.

A. Dulgarian: Can you come back to me?

G. Lake: Sure.

P. Owen: I have nothing.

R. Carr: The only thing, can you upgrade some landscaping on Route 211?

G. Smith: I had shown some shrubs and trees along there. We can add some more.

G. Luenzmann: I have nothing.

G. Monaco: Just some more landscaping.

T. Hamilton: Just Dick?s comments.

A. Dulgarian: I agree that the landscaping could be upgraded a little bit. Is there ingress and egress existing now on Maltese Drive?

G. Smith: Yes. There?s a driveway that goes through from Route 211 down to Maltese Drive.

A. Dulgarian: But there is no curbing and landscaping back there?

G. Smith: No.

A. Dulgarian: You might want to put a little bit in there also.

G. Smith: It?s wooded now but you?re right landscaping will make it look better.

R. Carr: I think that is one of Dick?s comments. Dick, you had a comment about the landscaping around the detention pond?

D. McGoey: Right.

A. Dulgarian: I agree with the rest of the Board that it is a very good use for that property.

G. Lake: Dick?s comments, you have them?

G. Smith: Yes. I revised the curbing on Maltese Drive. It was originally up to the edge of the pavement. I moved it back about four feet from the edge of the pavement where the ingress and egress are on Maltese. That is shown at least about four feet back from the edge of the pavement now. Item #2 kind of goes with item #1. I haven?t yet submitted to the Department of Public Works, we?re going to do that to get their comments. Item #3, I see Mr. Cummings is here. We dropped the plan off actually at the Silver Lake Fire Department earlier this week. Item #4 the landscaping plan, Dick was asking if we could add some more on the Maltese side. We will add more. Item #5 on the current USGS map that shows fire hydrants. There is one about five hundred and twenty feet east of this site on Maltese Drive and at the end of Water Edge apartments and there is another fire hydrant about five hundred thirty feet to the west in Lothar?s parking lot. There is a hydrant about five hundred feet on both sides of this property, plus hydrants across on Route 211. Item #6 there is a water service on the property now. I have shown that on the current plan I just handed to Dick. It comes in from Maltese Drive, then it comes up into the building. Item #7 I added a new detail on the first sheet of the Site Plan showing the double striped parking spaces in accordance to the Town zoning. The last item #8 I just showed the trench detail on the plan that Dick pointed out. That?s on the plan also.

G. Lake: Let me go through the Board again.

A. Dulgarian: Nothing.

P. Owen: Nothing else.

R. Carr: Nothing.

G. Luenzmann: Nothing.

G. Monaco: Nothing.

T. Hamilton: Nothing.

G. Lake: It?s going to be good to see that little place cleaned up. That?s for sure.
