September  18,  2013 Planning Board Meeting

 

 

 

Other  Business:

 

1) Erie Street  Improvement:    The Board  reviewed a plan for the construction   of a Temporary Storage/Staging  Area Plan  to be used for contractors building the Erie Street Improvement off of Route 303 for New York State Department  of Transportation.  The Temporary Storage/Staging  Area Plan would  be located on the Parseghian   Property (70.10/3/18),   as noted  on the submitted  plan  prepared by Maser Consulting,   dated September 4, 2013.

 

The  Board  reviewed  and approved the use of the  Parseghian   Property (70.10/3/18),    however,  held  that no land  improvements shall  be made,  with the exception  of Milling along   the roadway Right-of-Way.   A note shall  be placed  on the plan stating that the property shall  only be used to store concrete, pipes, catch basins and  other materials   used to construct  the project.

 

A revised plan  shall be submitted  noting the required  changes  to the plan.

 

 

 

2) Kopunek  Subdivision:   The Board granted an amendment  to PB#13-24, Kopunek Subdivision,   to waive application  to the Architecture  and  Community Appearance Board of Review  (ACABOR).  The application  shall   be reviewed by ACABOR when the applicant  has prepared a development plan  for the new lot.

 

 

 

3) Holt Site Parking  Plan (68.16 I 6 I 6):  A parking  plan  was presented to the Board. The Board determined  that the applicant did  not  require review by the Planning  Board  since there would  be no change  to the grade  of the site and  no new building  construction.  The Town  Engineering Department will review the drainage  information.    The Building  Department  will control  the planning  and permitting  process.

 

 

 

The Decisions   of the above hearings,  as attached  hereto, although   made by the Board before the conclusion  of the meeting are not deemed accepted and adopted  by the Board until  adopted by a formal  motion for adoption of such minutes by the Board.  Following  such approval  and adoption  by the Board, the Decisions   are mailed to the applicant. The verbatim transactions  are not transcribed,   but are available.

 

Since there  was no further business  to come before the Board, a motion  to adjourn  the meeting was made by Bruce Bond  and  seconded by Kevin Garvey and agreed to by all  in  attendance.  The meeting was adjourned   at 9:30 p.m.   The next Planning Board meeting  is  scheduled for October 16,  2013.
