The survey is from National Grid which shows boundaries and easement information. Russ Mitchell asked if they are just dropping a trailer and the
applicant said, yes, however it does require electric service. Russ noted the Town does not have the original site plans for this area and the applicant stated he has old recorded drawings (from the 80’s — 90’s) and a full site plan, if helpful. Russ said, yes, and asked him to provide all to the Planning Department. As well, Russ requested they provide an as-built plan of the entire site and cloud in what they are changing. He pointed out, if they plan to keep the two (2) dumpsters in the back, they will need to locate them on the plan, expressing the Town prefers enclosures, Further, Russ questioned a building that appears to be located slightly on their property. The applicant said the survey shows it very close to the property line and he will check to see if it crosses over. Mark Territo spoke stating, if it does cross over they should seek to have the property line adjusted, as it could be a problem when they go to sell. Jim Palumbo indicated it showing on the survey as well. Michelle Borton asked the applicant expand on the zoning summary and list what is existing, parking, etc. Lastly, the applicant explained stated the need for the trailer is due to National Grid adding training requirements for their lineman; a trailer is conducive for this additional program. Russ asked for questions/comments from the public. Hearing none he closed the hearing.

5 previous meetings). Tiffany Lawson, representative for O’Reilly Auto Parts presented on behalf of the
applicant noting Blake Ryan, Civil Engineer for VAA, and Peter Puskuldjian, Architect at CASCO, also in attendance. Russ Mitchell spoke stating a recent submitted set of drawings is inadequate. There is no photometrics, no landscaping plan, and no lighting plan, as previously requested. A lighting plan is essential as the Board needs to see there is no spillage on the highway. Peter asked if they need to visit the site and identify the existing lighting and Russ said, yes, and submit a photometrics sheet that is separate from the landscaping sheet. Russ noted the site plan is the only drawing stamped by a Professional Engineer (P.E.), the elevation drawing is good, but needs to be numbered and stamped by a P.E. Russ pointed out the original drawing(s) submission was good, it needed a few added items and advised the start over using that set. A discussion ensued regarding addition of an overhead door and Tiffany said it was taken off as it did appear bottle-necked. Jim Palumbo noted there is no consistency of the drawings. Tiffany apologized stating the miscommunication was from their side as the landlord stated the Board was looking for more colored and simplified drawings. Russ said he was incorrect with that message. Tiffany said she understands and will submit formal drawings. Further, Russ stated Mr. Muraco owns this 9,000 sq. ft. building and can add other tenants, which makes a difference to the site. The Board wants O’Reilly to take care of their parking and obtain a variance from the Town’s Zoning Board. Russ recommended they speak with Mark Territo and get on the next ZBA agenda; Tiffany agreed. Michelle Borton asked if they had spoken with Onondaga County about signs on the property as they appear to be in the right-of-way. Tiffany said all information was provided and they received an email today from James Fensken and Jeffrey Deep that they had no comments or concerns. Russ said the Board will need a copy of this email. He also asked if they received the County’s comments and Tiffany said, yes. Hal Henty asked if they understood the photometrics request and Tiffany said, yes and they are not making any changes to the existing outside lighting and will note this on the drawing. Karen Guinup asked if they heard back regarding the ingress/egress and Tiffany said, all was sent to the County and included in the email as noted above; she will provide the email. Karen requested they include the email with their resubmission and provide copies to all of the Board. As well, Karen noted any signage on the buildings is not part of site plan approval. They will need so submit a separate application for signs. Karen also asked if they had any interaction with the landlord regarding the dumpster as there is only one on site; any future tenants will need their own and none will be allowed on the frontage of Route 11. Lastly, Karen stated if there plans are to use the current dumpster, the Board would like to see powder-coated metal gates that match the building. Tiffany agreed and said they have the dumpster information from the original submission. Russ thanked them for coming to the meeting and taking notes.
Russ asked for questions/comments from the public. None received.
