W. Abt: I am the architect for the owners. With me is Brian Rivenburgh who is one of the owners.

G. Lake: Give us a brief description and then we will open it to the Public.

W. Abt: This is an existing building on Route 17 and County Route 76. The building is about nine thousand square feet. It originally had a warehouse and an individual insurance company when it was built. Rowley bought the property years ago but didn’t realize they needed a Special Use Permit for all the tenants. There are three tenants in the building now, one of them is an air conditioning outfit that uses part of the building for their warehouse. Fastenal has a warehouse/retail in part of the building. There is also a dance studio and about five hundred square feet of office area in the front of the building. This is in a PID zone and it requires a Special Use Permit for all uses.

3. SCOTCH VALLEY - 44 LOT SUBDIVISION - Silver Lake Scotchtown Road (99–1-1) #006-003

L. Potter: I’m with Lanc & Tully representing the owners of Scotch Valley. We are presently waiting to have a field determination by the Army Corps of Engineers which has been scheduled for November 15, 2003 for the project. This is a forty four residential project on thirty one and a half acres located on Silver Lake Scotchtown Road. We have been before the Board before. We have addressed several of Mr. McGoey’s comments. We are presently under design for the water connection to Tower Drive and we would like to request and schedule a Public Hearing.

G. Lake: I read this off as a fifty three lot. That’s what is was?

L. Potter: That was originally when we first came before the Board.

G. Lake: So, you are now down to forty four lots?

L. Potter: Correct.

G. Lake: Let me go through the Board to get their comments.

A. Dulgarian: It is too busy for me.

P. Owen: Nothing.

R. Carr: I don’t agree with the flag lots for this project. I also feel there are too many houses packed on this site.

L. Potter: The site has a lot of wetlands on it. It was very restricted to where we could put the detention ponds. We have to look at those areas where the drainage would be going to.
We do plan on addressing that and also addressing the landscaping comments. Your other issue as far as the flag lots were concerned, we previously had a different layout and upon the recommendation of the Board and your engineer, we opted to put in those two or three flag lots to make the project work a little better.

G. Monaco: It looks too busy and too crowded in my opinion.

T. Hamilton: We need the final delineation as was mentioned in Mr. McGoey’s comments. Is this in the roadway improvements?

G. Lake: Yes.

L. Potter: We don’t anticipate a lot of changes as far as the delineation is concerned. However, we decided that we would wait for the delineation before we proceeded with further engineering. We would like to have a Public Hearing scheduled at this time.

G. Lake: So, this could change between now and you come back?

L. Potter: In my opinion probably with minor changes.

G. Lake: I don’t have a lot against flag lots in rural sections. Seeing it on paper . . .

L. Potter: We had that before you before with the flag lots shown.

G. Lake: You are here on a work in progress and I just think if you can take a little look at it and space them a little bit. Dick, do you have anything at this point or add before we schedule the Public Hearing?

D. McGoey: They should have another work session.

L. Potter: We will have another work session before the Public Hearing.

G. Lake: Are you scheduled for one yet?

L. Potter: No. I will call the office to get scheduled.

MOTION to schedule a PUBLIC HEARING for February 18, 2004 made by T. Hamilton and seconded by R. Carr.

A. Dulgarian: Aye

P. Owen: Aye

R. Carr: Aye

T. Hamilton: Aye

G. Monaco: Aye

G. Lake: Aye

MOTION CARRIED. 6 AYES


4. HASBROUCK - 16 LOT SUBDIVISION - Goshen Turnpike (44-1-64.222) #090-002

D. Yanosh: I am the surveyor for the project.

G. Lake: Why don’t you bring us up to speed to where you are.


D. Yanosh: We were here the last time and it was tabled. We did finish the survey. We completed the topographic contours. The buffer zone that you see on there in the wetlands line is delineated. They are delineated buffers for the Department of Environmental Conservation. I will supply you with a copy of the one signed off by the Department of Environmental Conservation. They have all been delineated and located. I did arrange the lots so it meets the zone. The acreage meets the zoning from when the application was submitted over a year ago. The minimum lot size is fifteen thousand square feet. All the lots are over that right now. Some of them are much larger. A lot of the land is in the buffer zone and wetland area. Lot #16 is fronted on Goshen Turnpike. It’s down at the end. The majority of the property, as you can see, is all in the wetlands. We have the sewer and water line shown going into the street. One of Dick’s comments, is the storm water management plan. We will be working on that as we go along here. Orange County Department of Public Works has reviewed the plan. I have to do some revisions with the profile and stuff. So far they have no problem with the location of my roadway entrance. This came in at a ninety degree angle to Goshen Turnpike, fifty foot wide road into a right-of-way and a thirty foot wide pavement.

G. Lake: Let me go through the Board.

A. Dulgarian: I have nothing at this time.

P. Owen: I have nothing.


R. Carr: I would like to see the houses moved back.

D. Yanosh: Most of the lots are ninety five feet or over one hundred feet wide.

G. Monaco: How far is the buffer zone?

D. Yanosh: They probably have a sixty foot backyard.

T. Hamilton: Not at this time.

G. Lake: Dick, do you have any other comments? Can we schedule the Public Hearing?

D. McGoey: The detention ponds may have an affect on a number of the lots.

D. Yanosh: We can do the same thing. I will have a work session before. I will get the sixty scale maps drawn.

T. Hamilton: Dick, is there anything that has to go to the County on this?

D. McGoey: It is a County road.


G. Lake: This has sewer and water, right?

D. Yanosh: Yes.

5. C’EST LE VIE BEAUTY SPA - EXPANSION - SITE PLAN - 552 Route 17M (37-10-6.2) #-68-003


P. Higby: I am the architect for the owner at 552 Route 17M. The overview of the project is it’s a l.3 acre site on Route 17M just beyond the City of Middletown limits. Basically the property has a current existing two-story single family residence as well as the existing C’est Le Vie Beauty Salon which is basically on 1,460 square feet on the first floor and the second floor has a non-accessory office of approximately 750 square feet. The intent is to put an addition on the back of the beauty salon, a 5,408 square foot addition which would make the beauty salon in the neighborhood of 6,400 square feet. The intent is to keep the existing single family residence. We have gone before the Zoning Board of Appeals. Our method to that was that we basically needed a variance for parking. In the event that we didn’t get a variance for parking the project was not valid. We had gone to a work session with Mr. McGoey and he came up with the parking required on the basis of the zoning ordinance of seventy four spaces. Strictly on the basis of the zoning ordinance the classification of spa in the zoning ordinance whereas when we went through there were several areas in the building. There is a small retail shop in the front where they could purchase supplies. There is going to be a beauty salon which is a separate category from the spa as well as the spa so, we have three separate categories as opposed to one category. Using those three categories we applied it to the zoning ordinance as we came up with the spa plus the office upstairs, plus the single family residence we came up with fifty six spaces.
