said they would be opened 24 hours a day. Mr. Zinsmeyer said the Hours would be 7 AM. To 9 PM.
Karen Guinup said there are signs on the plan; the signs go through a separate permitting process. She also pointed out that there is an error in the narrative, most likely a type 0, 183 seats, and the narrative says 182 seats. Please correct that on the plan. Forward the DEC letter to the Planning Commissioner. The Dumpster gates are metal gates painted, we require aluminum gates, and Ron DeTota can e-mail you the info.
Jim Palumbo asked Ron DeTota about the underground drainage system, the size of the pipe. Ron DeTota said there are different stages of flow.
Jim Palumbo likes the plantings, he added there is a tree near the dumpster, and maybe you could plant arborvitae to soften the look of the dumpster.
Ron DeTota said they will have to make arrangements with C&S Engineers at least 72 hours before making the sewer connection. Ron will work with the applicant.
They will also need a letter from the underground inspector sent to our office.

**7:35P.M.Case #2019-021 — Brian Burri, Bergmann Architects, Engineers, Planners- Walgreens (3) — 3588 NYS Route 31 — Amended Site Plan
Russ Mitchell opened the public hearing, Brian Burri, of Bergmann Architects presented the plan. Repurpose the existing bank; Walgreens is doing a new thing, going to smaller buildings to use as a pharmacy only. They will add 2 light poles, there are 3 drive thru lanes, and however they will only use 1 drive thru lane.
Russ Mitchell said the fence on the side is falling down, either fix it or take it down. Add parking requirements and setbacks on the plan. Russ Mitchell is concerned about the landscape; he said they need landscape out front.
The ring road is not where it is supposed to be, the road should have been straightened when Rite Aid was going in.
Hal said with the road going into the parking lot, the dumpster gates will open into the road. Mounting light poles should be at 20 ft. including the base.
Michelle Borton does not see any delineation on the plan; she agreed that something needs to be done about the road.
Karen Guinup the dumpster enclosure is board on board, The Board likes the enclosure to be stone or cinder block painted to match the building.
Jim Palumbo said the landscape will be a problem, there are power lines overhead. The plantings need to be short. The foundation plantings need to be on the plan.
