meetings). Pat Reynolds, Ianuzi & Romans, PC, presented on behalf of the applicant. Pat stated several changes have been made to the site plan since the last meeting and a list of the changes provided along with the
revised drawings. He noted the property fence around the outdoor storage is under discussion and provided a
sample of a portion of a chain link fence with faux greenery. Jim Palumbo stated he would prefer the chain link be black vinyl coated instead of silver. Karen Guinup asked about the vinyl] fencing that was discussed at a previous meeting and Pat said that is still on the table. Karen said she prefers a vinyl fence with chain link behind it, noting the faux greenery is messy and unsure of its weather resistance. Hal Henty stated he agrees with Karen. Michelle Borton stated she agrees with Karen. Jim noted being okay with either fencing but prefers an earth-tone color vinyl fence tying the two fences together. All agreed. Pat said this could be done and would compliment the site well. Russ questioned fencing on the westerly side and Pat said they are not using this and new fence will be installed. Russ explained the fence is crossing an easement in two (2) places and the Town’s ordinances does not allow this. The easement has not yet been approved by the Town and stated the motion will stipulate when the Town approves, the easement will be conditioned, otherwise the fence cannot be installed as shown. Hal asked about lighting on the building and Pat said it will be wall packs. Jim asked if the chain link gate will be visible for visitors to see in as they enter and Pat said, yes, vinyl will only be around the outside area. Jim does not want solid fencing, it should be vertical plank fence with ability to see through it. Pat agreed and said they will be using Arrow Fence who generally works well on these types of projects. Russ said we will need a new sheet number two (2). Jim noted the proposed freestanding sign and signage is a separate application. Pat said the sign was included for location purposes only and they will be submitting another application for signage. Karen asked Ron DeTota about the drawings reading State of NY DOT and if the Board should be concerned and Ron said, no, this is standard use/detail, 5
