Tom Vona, Bardoun Land Surveying, spoke on behalf of the applicant stating this project is for a three (3) lot subdivision. Russ Mitchell asked if he had received Onondaga County’s comments and Tom said, no. Russ provided a copy. Russ noted the drawings show a revision dated of February 7, 2022 and asked what was revised since the Board has never seen the original drawings. Tom said he added site plan distances for the driveways, however, he can take the word revised off and change the drawing date. Russ noted when looking at subdivision drawings, proposed items do not need to be included. He also requested larger drawings (3x4) as the submitted sheets are small and hard to read. Russ also asked about the road on Lot 1. Tom said this is an existing gravel path/driveway. Russ explained if plans are to use this a Cross Access Agreement would be needed. Further, Russ mentioned two items from the County comments, the proposed buildings and site line distances, which Tom noted is complete. Russ stated the Board will need the drawing showing this. As well, the County speaks about SHPO and clearing of land and trees. Russ noted any tree removal must occur between October 1*' and March 31 due to presence of the Indiana Bat. Russ stated there is a notation on the drawing that reads “to be conveyed to the Town of Clay.” This should say “to be conveyed to Onondaga County.” Ron DeTota spoke stating Lots 1 and3 are residential buildings lots and need securing for subsurface disposal systems. Ron provided a note and contact information to Tom for inclusion on the drawing.
Russ Mitchell asked for questions/comments from the public. Hearing none he closed the hearing.

Dambach spoke stating he is seeking an amendment to a site plan and is proposing a 50x50 fenced area where his business can store tools. Russ Mitchell explained there are a lot of missing items to his application and he should meet with Mark Territo to go over the details. As well, the drawings submitted belong to Ianuzi and Romans and cannot be used without their permission. Russ noted a date of December 20, 2020 and asked what this area looked like then and Chris said it was a hardwood floor business. Russ asked if the overhead door was new and Chris said, no this has always been there. Further, Russ asked about the gravel and Chris said he has been moving gravel the last few months. Russ explained the process with the Planning Board should have started a while ago as we need documentation for approvals, fence permits, parking, which all needs to be on a site plan. As well as, dimensions of all buildings including storage buildings and details regarding the chain link fence. Russ suggested he hire an Engineer to assist with the requirements. Chris apologized stating this is all new to him, but will work with Mark and the Board to meet all conditions.

Gus Wilson, Baldwinsville HWY 31, spoke noting Andrew Younger, Architectural Design Guild, and Kevin Van Hise, Landscape Architect Kimley-Horn, also in attendance. Gus provided a background about Caliber Collision noting they are a high quality collision shop with 1,300 locations in 27 States. They focus on compliance and giving back to the community. All work takes place indoors with no activity outside; typical hours are Monday — Friday, 8:00 a.m. — 5:30 p.m. Kevin spoke stating they have resubmitted a drawing based on Board comments, cleaned up topographical information, revised parking stalls to 9-1/2 x 20, added parking calculations, zoning information, vehicle storage notes, and photometrics, removed architectural plans, and verified dumpster size. They received email approval from NYS DOT specific to making the intersection 4-way and DOT stated they can leave the west entrance open. This revision shows closing the western driveway and reconstructing the eastern driveway. Russ Mitchell spoke noting disappointment that the lines are still being shown on the site plan along with gray areas making it very tough to read; normally the Board is provided with no lines and just the dimensions of the buildings. As well, the dumpster and gates are not the correct detail information. Andrew spoke noting he didn’t see specific details or pictures. Karen Guinup asked if he received a dumpster package and Andrew said, yes within the last three (3) months. Karen asked he meet with Mark Territo for the specifics. Russ asked they look at the drawing as there is a fence inside the easement, this can’t be done and part of the parking in the front easement needs correcting. As well, there are landscape trees in the corner you might consider moving them back for sign visibility. The monument sign will need a variance if it is less than 25’ setback. Karen offered an option and to avoid holding up site plan approval, remove the sign from the plan since this will need a separate application anyway. Russ asked at the ingress/egress it they were putting in curbs at the flair and Kevin said, yes. Russ 3

also asked about snow storage and asked it be placed on the site plan; Kevin agreed. Discussion surrounded the signage and ingress/egress area. Kevin provided an email from DOT, which Russ read aloud. Karen asked if the State has seen this layout noting the Board needs approval from them using this drawing. Jim Palumbo offered the idea of a double turning lane and Kevin stated they are amenable to working with DOT. Russ agrees with Jim and making this area wider, he prefers sitting down with the DOT and discuss this in entirety. Further, Russ noted they will need to combine the two (2) lots and to get with our Assessor ASAP. Hal Henty stated they may have an issue with not owning the property and also recommended they call the Assessor right away. Karen suggested a conference call be set up with the DOT and all could weigh-in with questions/comments. Gus stated they would reach out and get it scheduled, and keep the Board informed of the meeting. Russ offered the Town Hall Conference Room as a meeting site; all agreed. Jim agreed with Karen’s comments about the sign and also asked they look at the plantings which don’t seem conducive for that spot, stating the tall grasses will impede visibility. Ron DeTota asked about existing conditions and discussions were held amongst the applicant and Ron. Lastly, Russ asked about a small rectangular area on the drawing as this could be encroaching property.
