Oswego Road — Preliminary Plat (Adj. 2) i

Mr. Jason Fiorini is present to address the board on behalf of the applicant. Mr. Fiorini showed | the board the diagram of the property. :

Mr. DeTota, town engineer, asked about the sewer location to this property. Mr. DeTota asked how the new resident would obtain sanitary sewer service to the property. The manhole

locations on the diagram stop short of the property. Mr. DeTota said the sewer service is connected at the front but not connected to that part. Mr. Fiorini said they could go from the back of Train Hard. Mr. DeTota said that would be acceptable but the termination is not shown on the Ianuzi & Romans map. Mr. Fiorini said he is familiar where the sewer runs in back of the Train Hard Building. Mr. DeTota would be more confident if this was shown on the map to better evaluate how the connection would happen. Mr. DeTota’s recommendation would be for Mr. Coyer to clarify this sewer issue to move forward with the preliminary plat. Chairman Mitchell concurred with Mr. DeTota.

Planning Board Regular Meeting September 25, 2024

Mr. Larry Adler is present to address the board on behalf of the applicant.

Mr. Adler passed out to the board a rendering of this parcel. Mr. Adler spoke with the owner of the property and the corner lot will be included in the final site plan approval. The revised plans show the parking being kept in the same location and the corner lot will be merged into the main lot. Chairman Mitchell asked if this has been done. Mr. Adler said no as the owner does not want to do this unless there is a final site plan approval. Chairman Mitchell advised Mr. Adler to speak with the town assessor to handle this. Ms. Guinup said this has to be done prior to site plan approval and the chairman concurred with Ms. Guinup.

Discussion followed on discrepancies in the parking. Ms. Guinup said the parking spaces do not agree what is shown on the drawing. Ms. Guinup said the drawings we have do not total 78

parking spaces. The total is 71 parking spaces. This will not be a problem if there are 18 spaces i shown on the drawing by Ms. Guinup. Mr. Adler will make the changes. :

Discussion on the square footage followed. Mr. Adler said this is off of Muraco’s survey. It is 102 ft wide by 110 ft to the notch shown by Mr. Adler which is 11,220 sq ft. The rectangle is 4,000 sq. ft which is 15, 355 sq. ft. Mr. Adler said the square footage shown on the. drawing presented to the board at this meeting is correct.

Ms. Borton asked if some of the parking spaces closer to Brewerton Road exit could be eliminated. Mr. Adler said that could be done to eliminate two or three spaces. Ms. Borton said the parking spaces should be labelled as each space is 9-1/2 by 20 and this needs to be shown on the site plan.

Ms. Borton said the dumpsters need to show style of material used as this should match the building fagade, using split face block. :

Chairman Mitchell said to change the color on the striping plan which shows black on black as it is illegible. This needs to be changed on site plan.

Ms. Guinup followed up more on the dumpsters regarding the gates. Mr. Adler said they use i powdered color louvers so there will be no rusting on the gates. Ms. Guinup asked for more ! detail on the dumpster area. :

Ms. Guinup discussed drawing C2.1 versus C6.2 directional signage do not correlate at all. The : arrows coming off South Bay Road need to have an arrow on the pavement directing traffic off i of South Bay to go to the drive thru. Also, pavement markings off of Rt 11 would help traffic

flow. Ms. Guinup said everything needs to match on these sheets C2.1 and C6.2.

Ms. Guinup referred to C2.1 #17 showing an accessible path from parking to building. Mr.

Adler clarified this as it is a handicap spot with access directly to the employee entrance. This is required by the ADA code.

Ms. Borton said the drawings need to be signed and stamped.

Mr. Graves said the snow stacking area could be problematic. The area will be stoned so there will be draining of the snow. The plantings in that area should be revisited as Mr. Palumbo said the plantings will not hold up in the snow as these plants are very brittle.

Mr. Palumbo said it was brought up at the last meeting to have some vegetated screening on the back side of the dumpster to soften the look of the dumpster.

Ms. Guinup asked Mr. Territo, planning commissioner, what sheets need to be signed by the property owner that there is an agreement with what has been approved should any code violations occur. Mr. Territo said they would be concerned with O’Reilly’s dumpster area. Mr. Territo said to have the owner sign sheet C2.0. Mr. Adler said Mr. Muraco will be present at the planning board meeting for site plan approval.

Chairman Mitchell asked if there are any questions/comments as this is a public hearing. None.
