01-10-5 David G. Martin and Linda J. Martin, Zone Change Recommendation —
R-2 to R-6, 7527 Buckley Road
Chairman Kovac asked the Planning Board members to either make a recommendation or
have a discussion.
Walter Lepkowski felt that the Planning Board should have some discussion prior to
making a recommendation.

The issue was again raised that should an R-6 zone change be granted and Mr. Martin,
sometime in the future, decide to sell the property there could be implications for high
intensity usage. It was noted that should future use cause high intensive use, it would be
necessary for the prospective applicant to appear before the Planning Board for approval
at which time the zone change recommendation could be re-reviewed. Currently, what
Mr. Martin is proposing, does not substantiate a high intensive use of the property.
It was noted that as an R-2 the structure, should it burn down, be removed, etc., it could
be rebuilt without variances, however, as an R-6 variances would be required.
Karen raised the question that signage under R-6 was fairly liberal. It was noted that
Planning Board approval is not required on signage. Commissioner Tessier indicated that
the Town Board raised concerns about the signage as well and Mr. Martin has agreed to
sign a covenant limiting his sign to 2” x 3”.
Having heard no further discussion, Chairman Kovac asked if someone would like to
make a motion regarding the recommendation that should be made to the Town Board on
the proposed zone change.

Motion was made by Bruce Johnson, seconded by James Keefe to adopt a resolution
using standard form #50 RECOMMENDING to the Town Board that the CHANGE
OF ZONE requested by David G. Martin and Linda J. Martin on the parcel located at
7527 Buckley Road from R-2 to R-6 be approved for the following reasons:
1. R-6 zone is designed for situations such as this and that this a proper use of
said zone.
2. Traffic implications would be minimal and not have an adverse effect on the
highway.

Town of Clay
Regular Planning Board Meeting
Date: December 12, 2001 APPROVED
Chairman Kovac then asked the Planning Board to vote on the above motion.
Vote: Infavor:5 Opposed: 2 Motion was passed,
Walter Lepkowski was opposed citing that an R-6 zone change creates a greater non-
conforming use of the property and that the current zoning is a lesser non-conforming use
by reason of the arterial setback but, furthermore, as an R-2, a new structure could be
built on this lot without the need for any variances.
Chairman Kovac was opposed citing the same reasons as Walter Lepkowski as well as if
a new structure had to be constructed he believes variances would be required in an R-6
situation but in an R-2 situation they could be avoided and a practical building could be
built. He stated that the Planning Board would be inviting variances if a new structure
was ever required.

Town of Clay
Regular Planning Board Meeting
Date: December 12, 2001 APPROVED
This application was presented by Tony Alberici for a free standing sign. The current
zoning for the parcel is R-6.

The sign would include the “Mapleridge” development and would include spacing for, at
the present time, two physician’s names who are located in the buildings. The applicant
presented this as one “community sign” rather than having two separate signs, one for the
development and one for the physicians. The signs will be angled rather than
perpendicular to the road, therefore, allowing visibility from both directions.
Motion was made by Walter Lepkowski, seconded by Bruce Johnson for the approval of
Mapleridge Community sign with additional signage for the professional office
occupancy based on the applicant voluntarily offering to restrict his rights as follows:
1. Six square feet devoted to professions in the building.
2. Color scheme and letter style will match the main sign.
3. The community identification will be the most prominent identification on the
sign.
4. The sign must show the building address number.
It was noted that the applicant consents and agrees with the above.
Motion passed unanimously.
Animal Kingdom Permit #34,056
Commissioner Tessier presented for the applicant. The proposal includes one sign to be
located on Route 31 and one located on Stearns Road.
Current zoning at the proposed location is S-1 with special permit.

structure, address must be included on the sign and includes a 25’ set back as presented.
Approval was recommended on both signs, however, the second sign located on Stearns

Approval of Minutes
Motion was made by Karen Guinup, seconded by Ferdinand Lepinske, to approve the
minutes of November 12, 2001 with the following revisions:

Last page--Adjournment was at 12:15 am not pm.
Page 3—Second paragraph where “He asked the applicant to provide a map
with the proposed tower and one without the tower at different heights to
show the coverage” should be “He asked the applicant to provide
propagations showing only cellular signals; only PC signals and each at
different heights to show the coverage”.
Page 3——Fifth paragraph “the planning board asked the applicant to provide
photo simulations of how the tower will look from the following locations: In
addition to the north side of the Seneca River and Route 57 they were also
requested from the south side. It was Walter’s suggestion that the first two
items be the South and North side of the Seneca River and the South and
North side of Route 57.
Page 3—Second to last paragraph “Walter Lepkowski felt that a motion
tonight would be premature based on the fact that the Planning Board does not
know if the Zoning Board will permit for the requested variance” the reason
for my vote on not making a motion was that the Town Board, not the Zoning
Board, may require a SEQR or other studies for the requested variance for the
150-foot tower.

Public Hearings:
01-10-5 David G. Martin and Linda J. Martin, Zone Change Recommendation —
R-2 to R-6, 7527 Buckley Road
Mr. David Martin presented the proposed zone change. Mr. Martin stated that he is
currently running a legal service business out of his home and is interested in moving it
from his home to the building located at 7527 Buckley Road as it would provide more
space for his needs.
Mr. Martin indicated that he has no plans to change the outside structure. It is his
intention to do interior remodeling only in order to facilitate his business needs.
Currently the building is vacant.
The County Planning Board recommended that access be from Coffee Tree Lane rather
than Buckley Road. It was noted that a barrier of hedges is currently on Coffee Tree
Lane and would need to be partially removed to accommodate that recommendation.
The issue of parking was raised. Due to the square footage of the building it was
determined that there should be parking for 5 cars. Mr. Martin presented pictures
indicating that there currently is ample parking to meet his needs. It was noted that on
the site plan, Mr. Martin would have to note that the additional parking is available.

Recommendation, C-5 to C-4 in the BJ’s wholesale Club parking lot at Great
Northern Mall, 4145 Route 31
Robert Ventre, attorney, presented the proposed zone change recommendation. He stated
that the applicant is looking for a zone change from C-5 to C-4 on a 1 acre parcel of the
16 acre parcel that is currently owned by the applicant.

The intended use for this 1 acre parcel is for the installation of 5 dispenser islands
encompassing 10 fuel pumps, a canopy and a cubical/shed for an attendant for the sale of
gasoline to BJ’s Wholesale Club Members as well as the general public. It was noted
that it would mainly be for use by Wholesale Club Members, as part of their membership,
to obtain fuel at a reduced rate. The general public would be subject to increased cost for
the gasoline if they are not a member of the club. It was noted that there would be no
visibility of the fuel islands from Route 31.
Currently there is an existing fuel island located at BJ’s in East Syracuse. It consists of 4
islands, a canopy and a cubical/shed for the attendant. Commissioner Tessier raised the
question as to why the one on Route 31 would be larger and it was stated by Phil
Woodyatt that it was due to the fact that the E. Syracuse building was limited due to
utility issues and easements.
Bob Michelson, representative of Moyer’s Corners Fire Department, indicated that
additional hydrants and a water source would be necessary to aide the fire department in
an emergency. It was noted that these would be included in the site plan.
Having heard no more questions or concerns, Chairman Kovac closed the Public Hearing.
A recommendation will be made at the next Planning Board Meeting to be held on
December 12, 2001. This request will also be presented at the next Town Board Meeting
to be held on December 3, 2001.

Plaza
Jeffrey Davis, attorney at law, was present to request a recommendation for Special Use Permit for a Public
Utility for a 70 foot Tower, a 150 foot Tower and Site Plan approval for the 150 Foot Tower.
The proposed location of the Tower is behind Taco Bell in the Clay Commons Shopping Area.
The 70-foot Cell on Wheels, also called a COW, will not require any variances and will be a temporary fixture
necessary to provide coverage for Cricket and Cingular providers.
Crown Atlantic is a turnkey operation that works with multiple providers to provide coverage for wireless
communications. They attempt to co-locate on existing structures, if possible.
The proposed location was chosen due to the lack of coverage in that area. Mr. Davis explained that the
location is necessary to provide the necessary service to customers in that area. It will fill the gap that
currently exists.
Mr. Davis proceeded with the propagation study for the area.

Chairman Kovac asked if there were any questions and Walter Lepkowski had the following concerns and
questions:
He inquired as to whether the applicant had explored co-locating on other Towers in the area,
specifically the one at Marketfair North and the tower at Verplank Road. The applicant stated that neither site
would accomplish the desired coverage.
He asked if they explored upgrading the tower at Marketfair. Currently the tower in that location holds
two providers and is only 86 feet high.
He asked what would happen if capacity doubled in the proposed area and if additional equipment
could be added to the proposed tower. The proposed tower is designed to hold four providers. Two are
currently proposed for the Tower- Cricket and Cingular.

He asked why they can’t locate on a structure other than a pole, such as bridges, buildings, etc. The
applicant commented that it would not provide the needed service to that area, as there are no alternative
structures available.
He asked the applicant to provide propogations showing only cellular signals; only PC signals and
each at different heights to show the coverage.
The 70-foot cell on wheels will meet all setback requirements and will be placed in the same approximate
location as the 150-foot tower. It will be removed when the 150-foot tower is built.

Forest Hills Area
They asked that all propagations be in 81/2 x 11 format.

Seneca River area.
County Planning had no position on the 70 foot tower but had the following comment on the proposed 150
foot tower:

The County Planning Board believes that this important setback regulation should be enforced to
uphoid the integrity of the zoning ordinance.
Chairman Kovac closed the public hearing on case # 01-10-2 Crown Atlantic Co. LLC Special Use Permit for

variances are needed for the Cell on Wheels.
Walter Lepkowski felt that a motion tonight would be premature if the Town Board would require SEQR or
other studies for the requested variance for the 150-foot tower.

These will be included in the file for Barbet Development Corp., case # 01-5-3.
At the last planning board meeting, seven options were discussed for this development regarding the
proposed emergency access road. Option # 6 seems to be the most appropriate for this road. This option is
reprinted below:
Option #6 Develop two distinct roads of traffic (two one way roads) with runover curbs for emergency
vehicles to use if needed. (This would eliminate the need for #1, #2 or #3)

Commissioner Tessier commented that the key to this option would be the divided highway concept. A
concept drawing was presented that shows a divided highway with two 12.5 foot travel lanes, a 5-foot
medium, and two 2-foot gutters on each side. A six-foot walking path is shown on one side of the road. The

width of the proposed lanes was discussed and it was felt that 18-foot lanes might be more practicable. The
pedestrian walkway was discussed and a decision was made that the inside of the walkway (closest to the
road) should be protected with a guardrail and that the outside of the path should be protected with a chain
link fence for added safety. The pedestrian path should be constructed of asphalt.
The proposed medium for the access road shows four breaks for driveways to cross.
C & S engineer commented that any concerns regarding drainage and easements could be addressed. He
did state that the plan needs to be drawn by a licensed land surveyor.
The sixty-foot right of way was discussed with the configuration of that area possibly changing through the
culvert area.
The Planning Board decided that through the culvert area two (2) 13 % foot lanes, a 5 foot medium, 4 foot
walkway and two (2) foot gutters could be constructed and the remainder of the access road would be
constructed with two (2) sixteen foot lanes, 5 foot medium, 4 foot walkway and two (2) foot gutters.

Various options were discussed and included:
Option #1 Extension of Dayton Drive to Coconut Tree Drive
Option #2 Road proposed to extend through Streamwood
Option #3 Road to extend through to Sampan. This would entail conditioning the development
of a stub street to facilitate this option since this area will not be developed for another 2-3
years).
Option #4 Eliminate road (area) between proposed parcel including 35 houses and parcel with
37 houses (This would require a combination of #1, #2, and/or #3, above)
Option #5 Dayton Drive, go south and omit attachment to Coconut Tree Drive
Option #6 Develop two distinct roads of traffic (two one way roads) with runover curbs for
emergency vehicles to use if needed. (This would eliminate the need for #1, #2 or #3)
Option #7 As proposed by applicant to Planning Board originally with no emergency vehicle
dual access.
After reviewing all of the options the following issues were noted.
Option #1 The emergency vehicles would have a difficulty time in maneuvering the 90 degree
turn that was proposed. Ron Detota indicated that the town has standards for town road and that
there are minimum turning radii. These are necessary so that all vehicles would have the
ability to navigate all turns without causing multiple accidents. It was noted that the current
curve on Coconut Tree Drive is of greater concern than the one proposed.
Option #3 Is not feasible as the area to be developed would not be done for at least 2-3 years.

Option #4 This would eliminate the culvert that was proposed to allow for walking from one
area to another in the open space. This option would also cause issues with drainage.
Option #5 This would not be recommended from an engineering standpoint due to crossing of
wetlands and issues with drainage.

Option #6 Ron Detota was asked whether or not this was a “doable” option. He indicated the
toad would have to extend from intersection to intersection. The road would need to be built to
accommodate the Fire Department vehicles (heavier weight). It would basically be a one lane
road but a bit wider to accommodate the larger vehicles. This would be “doable” however, the
cost may be excessive to the developer. They would have to do research to decide on feasibility.
Bob Michelson from the Moyer’s Corner Fire Department was present and Commissioner Tessier asked that he
be able to speak in regards to the Fire Department issues. Mr. Michelson indicated that in regards to Option #6
the road would have to go from intersection to intersection and the Fire Department cannot drive on lawns due
to the weight of the apparatus and the fact that the yards cannot support that weight.

Option #4 This would eliminate the culvert that was proposed to allow for walking from one
area to another in the open space. This option would also cause issues with drainage.
Option #5 This would not be recommended from an engineering standpoint due to crossing of
wetlands and issues with drainage.

Chairman Kovac indicated that he would like the Planning Board to narrow down the options so that they could
give the developer some ideas on what they would like to see him work on to provide a revised plat. The
developer can then work with Ron Detota to come up with a feasible plan.

Video King permit #33,999
Jeff Packard, Packard Sign Co., and Larry Wilson, President of Video King, were present to present the
application for a sign that would be located on the building located on Route 57.
Currently all signs on the building are done in green. The Video King sign as proposed would be located on the
building, and would be within 10% of the section of the building that they would be occupying. The applicant
presented a sign that would consist of red and white background with black lettering.
It was noted that the color scheme differs from what is currently on the building for the existing occupants. It
was also noted that at the time of the original approval for signs on this building, any and all future signs would
have to be in accordance with the green/beige color theme and style. This was expressed to the owner of the
building at the time of his original request.
Mr. Wilson indicated that the owner/landlord of the building had approved what he was proposing and had
provided a letter in which the owner/landlord stated such. It was the owner/landlord’s recommendation that the
Planning Board should approve it as well. The Planning Board members again indicated that the owner was
aware that any future signs for this structure would have to remain within the same color theme and style as
what had previously been approved.

Mr. Wilson raised the issue that the surrounding businesses have unique signs and questioned why that was
possible and he was “restricted” to the green/beige theme and style. It was stated by the Planning Board
members that the surrounding businesses were “free-standing” structures and where Video King was proposing
to go it would be going in with other businesses and should be conforming.
Viotion was made by Karen Guinup, seconded by James Keefe that the Video King application be denied based
on the fact that when the owner originally requested approval he was told that all future signage would have to
be conforming.

Various options were discussed and included:
Option #1 Extension of Dayton Drive to Coconut Tree Drive

of a stub street to facilitate this option since this area will not be developed for another 2-3

there are minimum turning radii. These are necessary so that all vehicles would have the
ability to navigate all turns without causing multiple accidents. It was noted that the current
curve on Coconut Tree Drive is of greater concern than the one proposed.
Option #3 Is not feasible as the area to be developed would not be done for at least 2-3 years.
Option #4 This would eliminate the culvert that was proposed to allow for walking from one
area to another in the open space. This option would also cause issues with drainage.
Option #5 This would not be recommended from an engineering standpoint due to crossing of
wetlands and issues with drainage.

Option #6 Ron Detota was asked whether or not this was a “doable” option. He indicated the
road would have to extend from intersection to intersection. The road would need to be built to
accommodate the Fire Department vehicles (heavier weight). It would basically be a one lane
road but a bit wider to accommodate the larger vehicles. This would be “doable” however, the
cost may be excessive to the developer. They would have to do research to decide on feasibility.

After reviewing all of the options the following issues were noted.

Bob Michelson from the Moyer’s Corner Fire Department was present and Commissioner Tessier asked that he
be able to speak in regards to the Fire Department issues. Mr. Michelson indicated that in regards to Option #6
the road would have to go from intersection to intersection and the Fire Department cannot drive on lawns due
to the weight of the apparatus and the fact that the yards cannot support that weight.
Chairman Kovac indicated that he would like the Planning Board to narrow down the options so that they could
give the developer some ideas on what they would like to see him work on to provide a revised plat. The
developer can then work with Ron Detota to come up with a feasible plan.
After much discussion, the options chosen were: Option 1, 2, 3 and 4 (as one proposal) and Option 6.
Chairman Kovac asked that a vote be taken regarding each. It was noted that for Option #1, 2,3 and 4, James
Sharpe, James Keefe and Ferdinand Lepinske were in favor of. Option #6, Al Kovac, Karen Guinup and Walter
Lepkowski, Bruce Johnson were in favor of.
Chairman Kovac asked the developer if Option #6 was feasible and he indicated that he would have to do some
research into it. He requested the opportunity to do research and work with C & S Engineering to see if it
would work.
Motion was made by James Keefe, seconded by Ferdinand Lepinske to vote on SEQR.

Planning Board regarding the operation of an auction service. The applicant currently has a permit for an
antique store. The Zoning Board has issues with the number of parking spaces and the access to and from the
site.
Julian Clark, from Plumley engineering and Mr. and Mrs. Goodrich were present to discuss these issues. It was
noted that both the County DOT and State DOT are satisfied with the 30’, 27’ and 25’ driveways shown. Route
31 currently has a building set back of 135’ and 90’ to parking. The applicant is currently in compliance with
that.
Mr. and Mrs. Goodrich have been working with the Town of Clay Planning and Development Office and it was
noted that they are comfortable with the stated 89 parking spots that are available and the inside seating area to
accommodate 100 people.
The current zoning in this area is C-5.
3ased on the three buildings currently in the C-5 zone, parking requirements would be 121 spaces. There is a
gravel area behind the building that could be used for additional parking.

It was noted that the color scheme differs from what is currently on the building for the existing occupants. It
was also noted that at the time of the original approval for signs on this building, any and all future signs would
have to be in accordance with the green/beige color theme and style. This was expressed to the owner of the
building at the time of his original request.
Mr. Wilson indicated that the owner/landlord of the building had approved what he was proposing and had
provided a letter in which the owner/landlord stated such. It was the owner/landlord’s recommendation that the
Planning Board should approve it as well. The Planning Board members again indicated that the owner was
aware that any future signs for this structure would have to remain within the same color theme and style as
what had previously been approved.
Mr. Wilson raised the issue that the surrounding businesses have unique signs and questioned why that was
possible and he was “restricted” to the green/beige theme and style. It was stated by the Planning Board
members that the surrounding businesses were “free-standing” structures and where Video King was proposing
to go it would be going in with other businesses and should be conforming.
Motion was made by Karen Guinup, seconded by James Keefe that the Video King application be denied based
on the fact that when the owner originally requested approval he was told that all future signage would have to
be conforming.

Section B — on Sandbar Lane, east of Streamwood Drive.
Dan Barnaba was present to present the revised preliminary plat for Streamwood
Townhouses, which would now be referred to as Patio Homes.
The project of 84 townhouses was previously approved, however, that project has now
changed with the new proposal being that of 57 Patio Homes consisting of four different
designs ranging in square footage of 1100 up to 1450and ranging in price from $110,000
to $170,000. The patio homes would be more appealing to “empty nesters”. Mr. Barnaba
was also requesting approval of a cluster development of units that would be 20’ apart
versus 40’ as previously approved.
Questions were asked in regards to how these units would be built. Will there be an
increase in traffic during peak times of day. At the present time there is an overgrowth of
vegetation that currently acts as a noise buffer for the Streamwood residents from Route
481 traffic, and would this remain, or what would be done to keep some type of buffer for
the residents.
It was noted that the utilities have yet to be approved.

Attorney Scott Chatfield took his seat at 9:00 pm.
The residents of Fairway East are opposed to the new location of the road and many
raised questions on how the change was determined. It was noted that the Town Board
gave the zoning change and it is up to the Planning Board to approve the location of the
roads and of the lots.
Mr. Zdrahal indicated that the reason the Dayton Drive/Coconut Tree Drive area was
chosen was based on the wetlands and that by putting the road in this area, they would be
way above the flood levels. If you go straight through to Streamwood or the other
surrounding areas, you would have to go through the wetlands which would require DEC
approval, which they were not likely to obtain.

While the residents, in general, oppose the new development and additional access road,
they brought up the idea of the possibility of having two “one-way” roads for the
emergency access road. Mr. Zdrahal indicated that this might be a possibility.
Ron DeTota, C & S engineer, indicated that he will work with the developers and the
engineers to determine a feasible alternative.

Route 31
Jan Kublick, attorney for the applicant, was present to present zone change
recommendation, A-1 to C-2 — 3652 State Route 31
The issues under discussion relate to traffic. The engineers did a traffic study and
submitted it to the State DOT, County DOT and Town Engineers. The main issue is the
concern about cut through/bypass traffic from Route 57 to Route 31. This has been
addressed. It was indicated that the traffic would enter into the parking lot, circulate
through the parking lot and leave from the opposite end. This plan was acceptable to the
State DOT.

01-6-1 Anthony Ianno — Zone change Recommendation -A-1to C-2 3652 State
Route 31
Jan Kublick, attorney for the applicant, was present to present zone change
recommendation, A-1 to C-2 — 3652 State Route 31
The issues under discussion relate to traffic. The engineers did a traffic study and
submitted it to the State DOT, County DOT and Town Engineers. The main issue is the
concern about cut through/bypass traffic from Route 57 to Route 31. This has been
addressed. It was indicated that the traffic would enter into the parking lot, circulate
through the parking lot and leave from the opposite end. This plan was acceptable to the
State DOT.

It was noted that the public would not utilize this ingress and egress to bypass the existing
traffic light at Route 57 and Route 31 due to the fact that there would be nothing to gain
by doing so. It would not provide any faster alternative than to utilize the existing pattern.

Town of Clay
Regular Planning Board Meeting
Date: October 10, 2001
There was a question raised in regards to the left in/left out proximity to the existing
Mobil station and it was determined that there would be approximately 300’ between
each.
It was indicated that the Route 31 frontage would most appropriately be commercial
zoning while the balance of the property be residential.
Mr. Kublick indicated that should the Planning Board consider making positive
recommendation for C-2 to the Town Board, a resolution would be made for residential
zoning for the balance of the property.
Having heard no further questions, Chairman Kovac closed the public hearing and asked
for a motion.
Motion was made by Bruce Johnson, seconded by Karen Guinup, recommending the
Planning Board recommend disapproval to the Town Board for zone change from A-1 to
C-2 based on the fact that C-2 seems improper zoning for the location.
James Keefe opposed based on the fact that he felt that C-2 was a valid use and it was the
most economically feasible.
Ferdinand Lepinske opposed stating that he felt C-2 would be an acceptable zone and for
the high density housing that would probably be built on the balance of the property.

It was noted that the public would not utilize this ingress and egress to bypass the existing
traffic light at Route 57 and Route 31 due to the fact that there would be nothing to gain

The total project encompasses 87.61 acres and a proposed 78 R-1 lots that will be developed. The applicant
denotes 49 acres of open land and parkland that will be offered for dedication to the Town of Clay.
The Town Board recently rezoned this property. There were six items of concern when the zone change
application was presented to the Town Board. One concern was that the applicant provide access for
emergency vehicles from the proposed R-5 area to the proposed R-1 area.
The applicant responded by stating that that access could not be installed due to the extensive amount of fill
that would have to be installed in the wetland area. They stated that they would be unable to obtain a permit
from the DEC or the Army Corps of Engineers. However, they believed that it was possible to install an

emergency access roadway at the intersection of Coconut Drive and Dayton Drive that would allow the
emergency access that is desired. A crash gate could be installed so that emergency vehicles use this road
only.
The planning board discussed this option at length. They were concerned that this access, as proposed,
would not be built to Town specifications and therefore would not be accepted by the Town. The road would
be on Town property. One issue was the snow accumulation in the winter months would deem this road
unusable many months out of the year.
Deputy Chairman Lepkowski asked if there were any questions.

Deputy Chairman Lepkowski asked if there were any questions.

Rand Klinke, 8239 Coconut Tree Drive, asked where the crash gates would be located in regards to the
property line at the Michaels residence. He asked if the road would be dedicated to the Town of Clay. James
Keefe stated that the Town would not accept a road not built to Town specifications. Mr. Klinke was
concerned about the drainage issue. He commented that his house backs up to the wetland area and that
there are many animals that reside there. He stated that, if this land were developed, there would be no
place for the animals to go. He would like to see a nature trail area, similar to Beaver Lake in this area.
Jim Kristoff, resident, asked about the parkland and a walkover to the parkland from the Fairway East
development. He commented that in 1988 the residents in this area wanted the parkland accessible to all
residents.
Bob Michelson, Moyers Corners Fire Department, was concerned that the land to the west was isolated and
that the proposed access road should be a true road.
Ferdinand Lepinske took his place on the board. Time is 8:15 PM.
Onondaga County Planning Board recommendation was that this application be approved with the following
condition:
That any future subdivision request which proposes new lots accessing the intersection of Fairway
North and Morgan Road will require a traffic impact study.

Commissioner Tessier commented that the Town Board is aware of the traffic issues on Morgan Road They
have requested that C& S engineers do a brief study to present to the County DOT to do a further study of
the traffic on Morgan Road, Henry Clay Boulevard and Soule Road.
The proposed open space includes detention basins and parkland area as denoted on this plan. The
planning board needs to determine if this is an adequate amount of open space.
Ron DeTota, C & S engineer commented the following items need to be addressed:
The preliminary plat needs to be prepared by a licensed land surveyor
New districts will need to be created and approved
All detention basins that are proposed are located on Town land, and should be located on private
land with easements.
Reference to the parkland should be changed to open space. The Town Board decides whether to
designate this land as parkland.
The Chief of the Clay Fire Department wrote a letter to the Planning Board regarding this proposed
development. They had specific criticism of the access road and the proposed cul-de-sac and requested a
through street for emergency access.

classification.
He commented that they could assure the Town of Clay that this parcel will only be developed as residential.
They would not seek any other zone change. He felt that many other residential zoning classifications could
be utilized on this parcel, including the possibility of an R-5 zone. His biggest concern is that this is not the

The plan is to subdivide the lot and obtain a variance allowing for two separate lots. The County is not in favor of
this since it would involve an additional driveway, however, it was noted that there currently is a driveway present
that is overgrown and not currently in use. The applicants have appeared before the Zoning Board for the variance
and it is under consideration. A variance is needed due to the fact that the lot dimensions will fall short of the square
footage and frontage requirements. Chairman Kovac suggested that the applicants consider additional ways to make
Lot 2 larger by moving the lines. He also indicated that all of this would have to be proposed in the variance.
Deputy Chairman Lepkowski questioned whether the Zoning Board of Appeals was looking for guidance from the
Planning Board and Commissioner Tessier stated that the Zoning Board of Appeals was asking for some input on lot
division. It was stated by the Planning Board that a more equal division of the lot is preferable.

Attorney Scott Chatfield indicated that there was a time when the Planning Board routinely was involved in
recommendations to the Zoning Board of Appeals for variances and have routinely said that they get decided solely
on their merits. While the Planning Board is not recommending the variance, they are simply providing input
because the Zoning Board of Appeals specifically asked for the Planning Board’s input, the Planning Board believes
that the more the property division is equal, in terms of frontage and square footage, the better.
Deputy Chairman Lepkowski made the following resolution. Be it resolved that, by motion, the Planning Board is
recommending that the southerly lot line of Lot 2 be moved south 30 feet. They feel that this represents a reasonable
accommodation to follow the intent of the A-1 zoning.
Motion was made by Walter Lepkowski, seconded by James Keefe, commenting on the reconfiguration of Lot 1 and
2 to more closely represent the requirements of A-1 zoning.
Commissioner Tessier will provide the Zoning Board of Appeals with the recommendation at the October 8, 2001
meeting. A site map will be revised and present to the Zoning Board of Appeals at the October 8, 2001 meeting.

night.

access to route 31 is what would be approved. As far as the subdivision goes, if Mr. Jerry wanted to see this done,
they could do that. A site plan is not available that would be acceptable to approve.

Chairman Kovac indicated that the only update that has been seen is a letter to Mr. Joseph Jerry, attorney for the
proposed KFC store. It is from Barry Stevens of the State D.O.T and it reiterates their position regarding the right
in/right out type of driveway. It is assumed that that is what the state would entertain as far as an access to Route 31.
Mr. Joseph Jerry, attorney for KFC was present. He is aware that the State D.O.T would be calling a meeting and
Tricon Global Restaurants, COR Development and representatives of the Planning Board would be invited to attend.
Chairman Kovac inquired as to what action Mr. Jerry would like to see taken at this meeting. Mr. Jerry indicated
that if the board wished to plead the access question to the state or the alternative would be that the board could
adjourn again if they so desire.

Mr. Jerry’s position was that it would be better to wait and see what the outcome of the State meeting will be. He
requests that the hearings be adjourned. :
Chairman Kovac indicated that since the hearings are closed, and you cannot adjourn a public hearing that is closed,
it would be placed on the agenda for the September 26, 2001 meeting.
Attorney Chatfield indicated that he is not terribly concerned about site plan approval because it will automatically
default and he is really not concerned about subdivision because it is such a simple process but he would like Mr.
Jerry to state for the record that he waives any rights that he would otherwise require in respect to subdivision and
site plan by reason of the 62 day statute. Mr. Jerry indicated for the record that it was so waived.

The applicant responded that he would consider re-locating the road more towards the
center of the development and applying under Article 278, asking for a reduction of 10% for
lot size and 10% reduction of side yard setback requirements.
Ron DeTota, C & S engineer, stated that he had not prepared a formal letter on this
application to date, due to the fact that the plan was changing. He did comment that this is a
very sensitive archeological area and asked if the applicant had arranged for a Phase 1 Study.
Ferdinand Lepinske also commented that this is a very sensitive area for artifacts. The
applicant responded that he would have the study and results by the next meeting.
Commissioner Tessier commented that he has been in contact with Mr. Farrell, a neighbor
to this proposed development. Mr. Farrell is concerned that the proposed road is too close
to his property and would like to see the road moved further to the east.
Clay Fire Department sent a letter to the Planning Board stating that they are recommending
fire hydrants be placed at 500 foot intervals beginning at the intersection of Oak Orchard

The applicant is requesting a zone change from R-2 to R-6 fora 15, 500 square foot lot
located on the north side of West Taft Road, east of the Humane Association Animal
Shelter and west of Wegmans Plaza.

Onondaga County Planning Board Recommendation stated that they felt that the lot was not
large enough for a medical office and might result in parking in the Taft Road right-of-way.
They stated that granting this zone change could encourage requests for similar zone
changes for other small lots fronting on Taft Road creating numerous, close-spaced
commercial driveways and impairing the traffic carrying function of Taft Road. They
commented that they felt that the Town needs to decide what to do with these small
residential properties along Taft Road and they suggested that a land use study is needed
before any zone changes are granted.
Jim Keefe commented that the proposed parking for this site is new and that the plan shows
a 3 foot perimeter strip on the side yatds; however, zoning requires a 15 foot perimeter strip
on side yards. The planning board commented that if the zoning were changed to an R-6,
the existing structure could be re-used with no variances required. If the building was totally

destroyed, the parcel would not be large enough to rebuild a structure according to R-6
standards.
The planning board commented that changing to an R-6 creates a problem with parking
requirements being met and that the lot is too small for an R-6.

Motion was made by Walter Lepkowski, seconded by James Sharpe, to recommend to the
Town Board that the zone change request by Anil Verma, MD from R-2 to R-6 for a parcel
located at 4923 West Taft Road be DENIED for the following reasons: that allowing the R-
6 zone change cteates greater non-conformity, the lot is not large enough for an R-6 and that
it creates a more intense traffic situation on West Taft Road. Motion Passed Unanimously.

Chairman Kovac commented that at the July 25, 2001 meeting, it was determined that
additional information was needed on this plan in order to make a SEQR determination. He
commented that additional information has been received. A letter from Traffic Solutions,
dated July 30, 2001, with follow up information on questions regarding traffic was received.
Also, a copy of a letter from State DOT, dated August 8, 2001 was received and stated in

“Due to the changing highway design we anticipate taking place on Route 31, we have re-
evaluated the access design for the proposed development and have determined that a full

“Due to the changing highway design we anticipate taking place on Route 31, we have re-
evaluated the access design for the proposed development and have determined that a full
access driveway is no longer appropriate.

The proposed highway mitigation for the COR development surrounding the KFC property
will widen Route 31 significantly. As a result, left-turning motorists on Route 31 will be
required to cross three lanes of oncoming traffic to enter the KFC. Left turning motorists
exiting KFC will have to cross four lanes of traffic to go east on Route 31. The projected
traffic volumes on Route 31 ate quite significant. This combined with the number of lanes
on Route 31, will make a left turn maneuver very difficult and unsafe. For these reasons, we
can no longer permit a full access driveway as you have designed. If access to Route 31 is
apptoved for this development, it will be restricted to right turns in and out only.”
The letter from State DOT suggested that revised plans be sent to State DOT for their
review.
Joseph Jerry, attorney., stated that revised plans have not been submitted to State DOT. He
stated that the director of the State DOT said that he would be contacting Commissioner
Tessiet’s office to discuss a further review of the traffic.
Commissioner Tessier stated that the State DOT did comment that they would be taking a
further look at the traffic information being submitted and that they would be reviewing this
information.

Walter Lepkowski was concerned about making a SEQR determination, knowing that the
applicant and the State DOT will be working on some issues. He did indicate to the
applicant that there are some members on the board, including himself, that feel that the
ability for traffic to make right in and right out should be designed into the plan. He
commented that there are other issues, such as the possibility of a median. He would suggest
adjourning the heating to allow the applicant and the State DOT to confer.
Joseph Jerry, attorney, commented that he would like to have more discussions with the
State DOT and the adjoining property owner. He stated that he would have no objection to
adjourning the public hearing. He also commented that he would like to have the Town’s
input.
Mr. Michelson, Moyets Corners Fire Department, commented that the fire department did
send a document in regards to the right in and right out and that he has a clarification
regarding the width of the two lanes. They should be 15 feet, not 25 feet. He also
commented that the fire department would be opposed to a median and will send a letter to
this effect.
Walter Lepkowski commented that he was not a proponent ofa median, but that it is an
issue that the State Dot will have to address.
Chairman Kovac stated that the planning board did receive the letter from Moyers Corners
Fire Department listing the reasons they are opposed to right turn only restrictions.

The revised plan satisfied all the previous concerns of the planning board. These included
the title being changed, drainage was added, access has been shown for lot # 2 and lot # 2

developed, will not have access to Route 57.

Karen Street was conveyed to the Town of Clay and it was suggested that this street be
deeded back to Mr. Arnold and then made part of a lot.
Motion was made by Karen Guinup, seconded by James Keefe, to adopt a resolution using
Standard Form # 40, granting final plat approval to William F. Arnold, Section D, based on
a map by A. Scott Whittaker, dated 12/14/2000, revised 4/9/2001, showing file # 0012-

¢ That the 60 foot wide strip called Karen Street (not open) be conveyed back to Mr.
Arnold and becomes part of lot # 3.

¢ Ingress and Egress easement for lot # 2 be extended actoss that portion of lot # 3
known as Karen Street(not open)
Lot # 2, if developed, will have no access to Route 57 but will have access across the
right-of-way.
4 Subject to legal and engineering requirements.
Discussion:
Chairman Kovac noted that Onondaga County Planning Agency, in their review of this
application, did not want lot # 2 to have access to Route 57.
Motion Passed.
Zone Change Recommendation - upon request from the Town Board.
Bassett & Fava property, Route 31 at Soule Road, currently zoned A-1.
Commissioner Tessier stated that he sketched the parcel with a C-2 zoning for discussion
reasons. He compiled a list of C-1 and C-2 zoning requirements and setback requirements.
Thete is a limit in C-2 for a 15,000 square foot building, There are not a lot of differences in
the area and setback requirements for the two zones. The difference is in the uses allowed in
each zone. Commissioner Tessier stated the uses that would be permitted in a C-1 and a C-2
zoning. A C-2 zoning classification has a mote intense use.
Commissioner Tessier stated that his sketch plan was based on the two lots being combined.
Karen Guinup commented that, at present, there are two separate lots in this location. She
asked if the lots ate not combined, could two C-2 lots be developed. They could be
developed but would have two smaller buildings with a different parking configuration.

Walter Lepkowski asked how close the southerly line of this parcel is to the northerly line of
Pine Gate Actes development. It was determined that it is approximately 970 feet.
Chairman Kovac commented that the majot issue is traffic. He commented that a C-1 zone
is less traffic intense.
James Keefe commented that he felt that a C-1 zoning classification is more marketable.

Walter Lepkowski asked what the difference was in an R-6 and C-1 zoning classification. An
R-6 intent is to be residential in nature. Commissioner Tessier commented that he felt that
this did not fit this area at all, regardless of setback requirements. The residential character of
an R-6 is not practicable in this location.
The planning board commented that a C-1 is the recommended zone change for this patcel.
Motion was made by Chairman Kovac, seconded by Karen Guinup, to recommend to the
Town Board that the Zone Change Recommendation for the parcel located at Route 31, at
Soule Road, currently zoned A-1, Bassett and Fava property be changed to C-1 for the
following reasons:
¢ The C-1 use is the most appropriate zone based on access to the property
¢ Less potential traffic
¢ AC-1 zone cteates a less intense use, with patrons spending less time going in
and out.
Motion Passed Unanimously.
Signs:
Dollar General - Seneca Mall
The proposed sign is similar to the other signs at Seneca Mall and is within the size
permitted by the zoning ordinance.

Informal Discussion
Streamwood Townhouses
Mr. Barnaba asked to informally address the board regarding how to approach the
Steamwood Townhouse final plat. Preliminary plat was approved with 84 units of
townhouses. Mr. Barnaba would like to change the plan to develop and construct 57 units of
one -story homes, referred to as “empty nest” homes.
He asked the planning board if he would be able to go right to final or if he would need to
ptesent the preliminary plat. He is planning to present the preliminary plat under article 278
for the purpose of reducing the space between the buildings from 40 feet to 20 feet. It was
determined that this would be an acceptable approach.

would like to use this house for his Psychiatry business.

Walter Lepkowski asked if the Doctor would be residing in the house and Dr. Verma said he
would not.
Attorney Farrell said there is enough space in the front for two cars and that there is enough
room to the side to allow a driveway to the back of the house for additional parking.
James Sharpe asked how much traffic was expected and Dr. Verma said about ten patients a
day. He would also have a secretary.
Town Attorney Chatfield commented that should they want to enlarge the structure there
might be a problem with building code setbacks.
Chairman Kovac asked if there were any further questions and there being none, Chairman
Kovac closed the public hearing. A recommendation will be made at the next Planning Board
Meeting, August 22, 2001.
01-6-3 Nortel Networks - Site Plan - 4785 Buckley Road:
Alfredo D’Ambrogio, the Site Acquisition Manager for Pyramid Network Services, LLC, stated
that they want to co-locate antennas on a current structure. They need to make the tower
taller to a height of approximately 140 feet in order to connect their system. The new company
who wants to use this current tower needs the extension in order to get their signal.

Michael Kotin, representing the new company, Cricket Communications defined the type of
cellular service, which is a little different from the usual cellular phones. They want complete
coverage, and are seeking the areas where their coverage has gaps, trying to be the least
obtrusive as possible, thereby using existing facilities when they can. They need a tower every
one to two miles and target their coverage for the populated areas.
Chairman Kovac commented that the drawing the applicant is submitting inadequate, as there
are no dimensions to enable the Board to determine the distance from the tower to the property
line. The original tower had no site plan approval.
Mr. D’Ambrogio said he didn’t provide any dimensions because the structure was already
there.
Chairman Kovac explained that there’s a requirement in the Town’s ordinance stating the
distance from the tower to the property line has to be the height of the tower plus twenty-five
feet.
James Keefe pointed out the tower is already not to code and is currently a non-conforming
structure.
Planning Board Attorney Scott Chatfield stated that legally the tower is actually sub-standard
with the inadequate distance from the property line. Also, the tower has not had site plan
approval in the past. Because it will not meet the site plan requirements, the applicant would
have to go before the Zoning Board of Appeals and ask for an area variance in order to add onto
the tower.

Michael Kotin suggested that the Planning Board grant approval, with the condition that the
applicant get an area variance.
Chairman Kovac said the Board could not act on approval without the dimensions and the side
line distance from the property line. The applicant needs to get the area variance before the
Planning Board can approve a site plan. Chairman Kovac suggested that Mr. D’Ambrogio
review the site plan requirements.
Commissioner Tessier stated that certain criteria need to be met and he could share that with
them. He added that it could be possible for the applicant to go before the Zoning Board
September 10th.

Chair Kovac explained that this hearing was adjourned from a previous meeting. Traffic
information has been received and has been turned over to the Town Engineer.
Joseph Jerry, the Attorney representing the applicant explained that the traffic needed to be
reviewed. Three traffic engineers have been retained and there are three opinions. Tricon
Global retained the services of Lawrence Turchin.
The Town Engineer, Ron Detota, stated that Kentucy Fried Chicken retained James Napoleon
and that the traffic engineer for C& S Engineers is Douglas Stansbury.

The Town Engineer, Ron Detota, stated that Kentucy Fried Chicken retained James Napoleon
and that the traffic engineer for C& S Engineers is Douglas Stansbury.

Attorney Jerry stated that their conclusion is that full access to Kentucky Fried Chicken from
Route 31 will not create a problem with traffic.
Chairman Kovac said that the Board had just received the report from their engineer, Mr.
Stansbury, and they have not had time to study it or read all the information. He didn’t see
how the Board could make a decision tonight.
Lawrence Turchin gave an overview of his traffic report. There is a dual turning lane going into
the shopping center which the State has found to be safe and he doesn’t feel the lane will back
up and cause any traffic problems for cars entering and exiting KFC.
Walter Lepkowski questioned the gap periods for cars on Route 3land Mr. Turchin stated that
the signal lights would be coordinated to create gaps.
Attorney Chatfield stated that in order to make a left out, a signal gap is needed and a place to
go. There are cars stopped at the light plus through lanes to consider when pulling out.
James Napoleon said the level of service rating for the driveway is A and C for traffic in and out
for a unsignalized driveway. He said he would review COR’s traffic study and get back to Mr.
Lepkowsi and answer his concern about queuing.
Douglas Stansbury of C & S Engineers said that in general he concurs with the other traffic
reports in that there is not a capacity issue, but he has safety and operation concerns for the
left in and left out for the parcel.

Attorney Chatfield noted that there are two left lanes at the COR signal light intersection. Cars
turning into KFC would have to be in the left most lane of the two left lanes, which could hold
up traffic wanting to turn into the COR shopping center.
Mr. Turchin stated that people go into gas stations that are located before intersections all the
time and have no problem.
Robert Michelson of Moyers Corners Fire Department, Inc. asked if the left lanes to turn onto
Dell Center Drive could be shortened.
Chairman Kovac read a portion of the May 21, 2001 letter from the New York State Department
of Transportation stating in part that they have received the site plan Tricon submitted. What
is shown conceptually represents what was discussed with Jim Santos of Tricon Global and
Bruce Letts of C & S Engineering as being an acceptable access design.

Scott Chatfield, the Attorney for the Planning Board, stated that while the Town does not have
the ability to impose conditions on the State Department of Transportation, or to tell them
what they must accept or what they can’t accept, their conferred jurisdiction with the Town
does not deprive the Town of approving a plan within the framework of their plan. Granted, if
the State says they are not going to allow access, then a conundrum is created, but the mere
fact that conceptually they will allow an unrestricted intersection does not deprive the Town
from restricting the intersection, assuming that there’s adequate factual basis in the record to
support such a restriction.
Chairman Kovac stated as a point of clarification that the Board could allow unrestrictive
access on Route 31with no tie in to the rear, or restrictive on Route 31 if we have supportive
expert traffic opinions to support such restrictions.
Attorney Chatfield said that if the Board was to approve a plan imposing some limitations on
the exit and entrance from this site onto Route 31 the State Department of Transportation
would have the final say, because they could say that’s not an acceptable driveway
configuration. They could refuse to issue a permit. The Town can’t say to an applicant they
cannot have access to a highway, because that decision is controlled by the County or the
State, as the case may be.

Ron Detota and Douglas Stansbury concurred that they are concerned with the five lane

section of highway with the development by COR and the two additional lanes for people
turning left going eastbound. Eastbound vehicles entering KFC will have to cross three lanes of
3
oncoming traffic. The cars exiting KFC will have to cross four lanes. A right in right out only
could reduce their safety concerns.
Mr. Turchin said he did not consider crossing three lanes an issue and that it shouldn’t be a
problem.
Mike Rookey the resident of the property for the KFC proposed restaurant, said he has had no
problems turning in and out of this parcel any time of the day.
Ron Detota said he recommended that further efforts be taken by Tricon Global to gain access
to the COR Development ring road.
Robert Michelson commented that the Fire Department needs twenty-five feet for their trucks
to make turns in and out of the parcel. Restricted lanes would restrict access in case of a fire.
Karen Guinup asked if the twenty-five feet would be necessary if there was another access road
and Mr. Michelson said yes.
Chairman Kovac asked for any further questions and there being none, Chairman Kovac closed
the public hearing.
Chairman Kovac called for a break at 10:17 P.M. The meeting was reconvened at 10:27 P.M.
Walter Lepkowski said that because he hadn’t had time to read the traffic report and that there
was a storage capacity question regarding traffic, he thought it was premature to make a SEQR
finding with regard to Tricon Global. He would like to have time to look it over.

A brief discussion followed.
James Keefe said the Board was dealing with details of access, and that he has concerns with
regard to access.
Attorney Chatfield pointed out that whatever access that is to be determined is not SEQR
related.
Motion was made by Walter Lepkowski and seconded by James Sharpe to table the SEQR
determination so that the Board could look at all the information.

01-7-3 COR Development - Final Plan - State Route 31
Motion was made by Chairman Kovac and seconded by Walter Lepkowski to add the COR
Route 31 Company, LLC final plat to the agenda. Motion passed.
Motion was made by Chairman Kovac and seconded by Walter Lepkowski to waive the public
hearing for the COR Route 31Company, LLC final plat (subdivision) because it is essentially the
same as the preliminary plat. Motion passed.

Chairman Kovac said he has the final plat and the reason he is putting this on the agenda is
because there is a letter from Robert Germain, the Town Attorney, to the Planning Board
Chairman dated July 25, 2001, regarding Dell Center Section 3, Clay Shopping Center. It
states in part: please be advised that the Town Attorney has reviewed the terms of the Type B
Agreement executed by COR Route 31 Company LLC relative to the above captioned matter
and declare same to be acceptable as to form and content. The developer has posted securities
4
in the form of cash, $500,000 in a manner acceptable to the Town and has agreed to comply
with the Town’s insurance requirements prior to construction. The developer has received a
written explanation of the Town’s insurance requirements.
Chairman Kovac has discussed this with the Town Supervisor and the Town Attorney. This
assures that the utilities and other infrastructure can be completed, even though the districts
have not been established. The Town will still be waiting for the legal descriptions for the
easements.
Attorney Chatfield said he would like to ask Mr. Geraradi for the record whether he is willing to
provide access to the out parcel, KFC.

Attorney Chatfield said he would like to ask Mr. Geraradi for the record whether he is willing to
provide access to the out parcel, KFC.

Attorney Gerardi answered for the record that it would be the same as his answer at the
Planning Board meeting of June 27, 2001. It would not be a commitment they would be willing
to make. However, as part of any application that a third party such as KFC might have
pending, they would be willing to consider entertaining providing access in lieu of, not in
addition to, access to Route 31, that intended use of the parcel be consistent with and not
cause contractual problems with the tenants in the center and that all properties beneficiary of
that access would be required to comply with all the other terms and conditions of the center
including maintenance type conditions.
Ron Detota recommended that additional land be conveyed for highway purposes on the lot
that borders Ver Plank Road should it be needed for future access to Ver Plank Road.
Commissioner Tessier stated that COR does not own lot No. 10, but should it be developed in
the future the Town would then have the opportunity to require the additional land
conveyance.
Motion was made by James Keefe and seconded by Bruce Johnson to adopt a resolution in
regard to Case No. 01-07-3, using Standard Form 40 and granting conditional final plat
approval to COR Route 31 Company, LLC based on a map by CNY Land Surveyors, file number

01-6-1 Anthony Ianno, Zone Change Recommendation - A-1 to C-2 - 3652 State Route 31

Jan Kublick, representing Anthony Tanno, appeared before the board to request a zone change from A-1 to G-2
for property located at 3652 Route 31 for approximately 6.9 acres of a 26.7 acre parcel. The remainder of the
parcel would be residential use.
‘The Route 31 and Route 57 Land Use and Circulation Plan designates this entire parcel to be high density
residential.
The plan presented tonight is slightly different from the original plan. The new plan shows additional proposed
commercial land use. This additional land use would be for an access road to Route 57.
Onondaga County Planning Board’s recommendation is as follows:
The Onondaga County Planning Board recommends DISAPPROVAL for the following reason:
‘The proposal is contrary to the Route 31 and Route 57 Land Use and Circulation Plan, which designates
this site plan for high density residential, If the applicant believes the plan should be altered, justification should
be provided including details about how the remainder of the property is to be used.
The Board also notes its concern with a sketched internal road on the 6.49 acre site which could become a short
cut around the Moyers Comers Intersection.

The applicant felt that the portion of land on Route 31 should not be residential. The applicant stated that they
would be prepared to covenant that the remainder of the parcel would be residential. The applicant stated that
the G2 zoning is the most restrictive of the commercial uses and feels it appropriate for this 6.9 acres of land.
‘The applicant stated that the traffic issues will be addressed by a traffic study. The intent is to create two (2) C2
parcels with a sole access road.
Chairman Kovac commented that he agreed with the County Planning Board’s concems that the access road
could become a short cut around the Moyers Comers Intersection.
Karen Guinup asked if the access drive would align with the Kimbrook Plaza entrance and the applicant
responded that it would.
The planning board requested that the traffic study include maximum build out, different scenarios, the
commercial impact and the residential impact.
The planning board commented that sometimes when commercial backs a residential area, an R-6 or C-1 is a
more appropriate land use.
A recommendation will be made at a future meeting, after the traffic study is received and reviewed.

Chairman Kovac read the Onondaga County Planning Board’s recommendations. County Planners acknowledge
that Tricon proposes to combine two existing lots to form a 1.79 acre parcel zone C-5. The proposed plan shows
one driveway directly onto Route 31, with no connection to the COR Shopping Center. The Route 57 and Route

31 Land Use Study recommends that access should be tied into an internal road. The free standing parcels
should be tied to the internal road network of COR properties. Onondaga County Planning Board acknowledges
the coordinated review on June 21, 2001 to encourage Tricon Global to work with Town of Clay, COR Route
31, NYS DOT, OCDOT in developing an access plan to the internal road and elimination of the direct access to
Route 31. Onondaga County Planning Board also acknowledges that State DOT would rescind its approval of
Tricon’s direct access to Route 31, if alternate municipal access could be made available. The Town and COR
indicated such access could be extended from Dell Drive west along the loop road. and then south onto the site.
It also states that the 20/10 Development Guide states that access to County and State roads should be designed
to protect through traffic mobility. Therefore, it resolves that the application be approved with the following
condition: That the proposed site plan be modified to show sole access to this property from the internal road
system serving COR and adjacent developments and that there be no direct access to this property from Route
31.
Joseph Jerry stated that Tricon Global Restaurants wants access to Route 31. At the last meeting, Chairman
Kovac stated that if Tricon was insistent about the access to Route 31, they would have to provide a traffic study
to this board. Tricon has provided this traffic study this evening.

Larry Turchin, Traffic Solutions, was present to explain the details of the traffic study.
Joseph Jerry stated that the only outstanding issue is the access to Route 31 and he asked to address that issue at
this time. 'Tricon has offered the ability to tie into the COR development and show that ability on the map
before the board. The map, also shows an additional bypass lane, available adjacent to the drive-by window that
would accommodate that access. He stated that there is no question that his clients would appreciate and benefit
by access to the COR Center. However, all discussions that COR has had with the Town, County Planning
Board and Tricon is that they would be willing to offer access to the ring road on the condition that Tricon have
no access to Route 31. Tricon has gone on record to say that their restaurant would not be successful without
access to Route 31. Consequently, even though COR did state that they would give them access to the internal
road for $1.00, Tricon has gone the extra mile and offered a purchase offer telling them that if the access, in
regards to Route 31, could be made available to them, they would pay $10,000 for the easement.

Mr. Jerry stated that they tried to work out a solution that would make the County happy and would serve the
interests of all parties by having access to their ring road and access to Route 31. The offer called for a two day
response and, Mr. Jerry stated that they have not received the courtesy of a telephone call and have heard no
response from COR. Mr. Jerry believes, at this time, that the offer will not be accepted. He feels, at this time,
there are no choices for Tricon to get to a public road, they need access to Route 31. He stated that access to
Route 31, with their parcel between two lights, that there will be enough traffic controls so that the access will
not endanger the traffic on Route 31.
Larry Turchin, Traffic Solutions, addressed the board on the traffic study that was submitted. A lengthy
discussion ensued as to the contents of the study and possible different scenarios. However, the planning board
and C&S engineers requested time to review the traffic study that was given to them at tonight’s meeting.
Ron DeTota, C 8S engineer, commented that most likely, C 8 S would be able to review the traffic study and
have comments by the August meeting, possibly before.

cases, # 01-5-1 and 01-5-2 to July 25, 2001. Motion Passed.

¢ Letter from County of Onondaga DOT dated 6/26/2001 in which it states that they will not
allow an additional intersection on West Taft Road and they suggest installing a “hammer head”
type turnaround with the capability of a inner connect with commercial lots on West Taft Road.
° Letter from Onondaga County Planning Board that they have no jurisdiction in regard to this
referral, since the property does not abut or have access to a State or County Road.
* Letter from William Weaver, Town of Clay Highway Superintendent, stating that there is no
reason for the proposed street off Dolshire Drive to have a cul-de-sac and that it should be a
through street to West Taft Road. He stated that for plowing purposes, he wants the street to
enter and exit onto another street.
* Letter from Lori Mulcahy, dated 6/18/2001, that contained many comments and offers
opinions of the cul-de-sac.
These letters are on file in the Town of Clay Planning Department.
Chairman Kovac stated that these lots would meet the requirements of an R-1 zone, in regards to size and
dimensions of each lot. The developer proposes to construct 14-15 lots on the parcel of land that is zoned R-1.

Commissioner Tessier presented a petition with 20 pages of signatures, 284 residents, that object to the Hafner
development. These residents requested that a traffic study be conducted for this proposed development. They
also commented that the detention pond is unacceptable,
Ron DeTota, C&S engineers, commented that a number of things need to be addressed, He suggested that the
cul-de-sac could be offset, which would maintain a more uniform depth of the lots. He commented that less
development around the cul-de-sac would be better. He commented that the zoning needs to be shown on the
plan for adjacent parcels, lots sizes and dimensions need to be shown for each lot, that the plan needs to be
prepared bya licensed land surveyor and that there needs to be a different layout for the storm system.
The Planning board suggested that the developer consider a means of access to the park, by possibly creating a
paved path.
Residents in attendance are concemed about through traffic. They asked what would need to be done to have
the Town buy the land for parkland. They commented that a “hammer head” would be the lesser of two evils.
‘They were concerned about the depth of the detention pond and asked why a detention pond is necessary. They
inquired about the possibility of Stop Signs being placed on Maryland and Dolshire Drive.
Commissioner Tessier commented that some type of “hammer head” would probably be the best layout.

Joseph Gerardi distributed the revised preliminary plat maps to the board. He stated that there has
been a slight change in lot # 4. The southern most portion, where it adjoins the Saturn parcel, was
formerly part of lot # 3. This small finger parcel is now part of lot # 4. This will provide the
applicant the means to be able to provide for that road to be a municipal road, if needed in the
future.
Chairman Kovac asked Mr. Gerardi, representing COR Route 31 if they intend to complete the
connector road between Dell Center Drive and Carling Road.

approximately 7 arborvitae trees around the dumpster.
McDonald’s did provide a photometric diagram. This diagram shows two foot-candles, with ten-foot
candles around the dumpster area.

Walt Lepkowski asked why there was a range of two-foot candles to 10-foot candles around the
dumpster area. The applicant responded that the increase in foot-candles was for safety reasons.
As far as access to the shopping center, Chairman Kovac stated that his recollection was that COR
Route 31 Company made a more general offer to the parcels that are zoned agricultural or residential,
for the future. Chairman Kovac asked the applicant to clarify this for the record.
Mr. Gerardi stated that the conditions that they would suggest for access being considered for these
properties is that these properties will be provided access to the internal ring road on the condition
that in be in lieu of, not in addition to, access to Route 31.In addition to that, it would have to be a
site plan that would not cause contractual problems with the tenants in the center and be permitted
in the reciprocal agreements. The other properties, the out parcels, would have to abide by these
same rules and regulations. In addition, to the extent that there are shared costs in operating the ring
road, such as plowing it, maintaining it, lighting the ring road and replacing it some time in the future,
the out parcels would have to participate in those costs as well. Mr. Gerardi stated that that is where
they are in relation to the access to the center for the out parcels.

The directional signs for McDonald’s were discussed. Walt Lepkowski felt that the signs should
specify enter and exit but have no further advertising.
Bob Michelson, Moyers Corners Fire Department, had some concems regarding the location of the
hydrant, stated that a hydrant is needed on the ring road and stated that he was waiting for
information regarding the size of the main water line and if it was sufficient,
James Keefe, commented that the comments from the Fire Department should be in writing. The
applicant commented that they would be willing to address the concerns of the fire department.
There was a discussion regarding the architectural designs that were committed by Home Depot and
the fact that these designs are not shown on the plans. The discussion on what type of roof, colors
and type of split face block were in the public hearings of previous minutes for McDonald’s and
Home Depot and also for the building that will be located on Lot # 3. The remaining lots that will
have buildings constructed on them have not been discussed for architectural design. The planning
board could review these before site plan approval is made.
Lot# 1,2 and # 3 need variances for the buildings that will be constructed on them. These variances
are before the zoning board of appeals.

Clarence Rycraft quoted from the zoning book the following:

“A Community Shopping Center Industrial or Commercial Complex sign is a permanent
sign which identifies a community, shopping center, industrial or commercial complex..” He stated
that it says nothing about identifying tenants on that particular sign. He contends that this particular

James Keefe commented he was Commissioner at the time the ordinance was written and knew what
the intent of the code was and is.
Clarence Rycraft stated “ Do we have a clear enough understanding of that ordinance to make a
determination of which sign is right.”
James Keefe commented that “Yes, we do. As they are both right and both fit within the language of
the ordinance.” The intent of the ordinance was that they could put identification only on, or that
they could identify tenants.
Chairman Kovac stated that he felt that this sign fits within the code.
Mr. Rycraft requested that the pictures be attached to the minutes.
Motion was made by James Keefe, seconded by Ferdinand Lepinske, to approve one freestanding
sign for the shopping center that is 33 feet high and 10 feet wide, for the entrance on Route 31.

The proposed identification sign was 42 feet high, but now has been modified to 33 feet high.
Peter Giovenco, civil engineer, explained the phasing of the project. Lot # 1 and Lot # 3 will be
constructed upon approval of the site plan. Lot # 2 will be readied for construction, but no buildings

the construction of the parking in that area until a tenant is secured. McDonald’s will be constructed

submitted. The trash corral for McDonald’s will be landscaped and will be shown on the final plan.
The monument sign will be on the west side of the entrance drive.
Richard DiCesare, traffic engineer, addressed the board on traffic issues. He stated that the initial

Planning Board Minutes
Town of Clay Regular Meeting
June 13, 2001

A lengthy discussion ensued as to the access for the adjoining out parcels to the COR site. Mr.
Gerardi stated that at the request of the Syracuse Onondaga Planning Agency, they attended a
meeting on June 5%. At that meeting, the applicant reviewed all that they have discussed at these
meetings. Mr. Gerardi stated that they are 99% consistent with the intent of the Corridor
Management Plan in providing a common access to 75 acres, 9 separately sub-divided lots.
‘The applicant stated, that after meeting with all involved agencies, they would be willing to convey
the 30 foot sliver in the rear of the parcel to provide an alternative access to KFC on the condition
that the access to Route 31 be eliminated. Mr. Gerardi indicated that they have represented to their
tenants that they will not provide separate curb cuts from Route 31.
State DOT’s concern was that they cannot ask private property owners to give up Route 31 access.
Mr. Gerardi stated that if KFC stays here, they will keep the commitment open and will convey this
30-foot strip at a very nominal square foot price. If the parcel changes tenants, COR would have to
be certain that it was not offensive to the center or violated the terms of the contract.
COR Route 31 stated that to the extent that KFC goes forward, to the extent that the Town takes
dedication of the road, COR Route 31 would be willing to convey, without charge or to convey the
access for $1.00.

COR Route 31 stated that to the extent that KFC goes forward, to the extent that the Town takes
dedication of the road, COR Route 31 would be willing to convey, without charge or to convey the
access for $1.00.

Attorney Chatfield stated that although internal access is desirable for many reasons, legally the
Town, short of eminent domain, does not have the power to compel the applicant to provide the
access to their development.
Attorney Chatfield stated that however, due to the fact that the applicant did state that they are
willing to convey that 30 foot strip and to dedicate a portion of the ring road from Dell Center Drive
to connect to that strip, it puts the Town in a position, where in terms of the approval of the site
plan for KFC, the Town can provide alternative access, including limiting access to Route 31 for
KFC.
COR Route 31 stated that they had no problem giving access to the COR development to KFC,
provided they give up their access to Route 31.
The planning board addressed the FEIS report. C & S engineers stated that they had no questions on
the FEIS.
Chairman Kovac asked if there were any questions from the public.
Paul Reagan, attorney representing the southwest comer property owners commented that they have
the three following statements to make in regards to the FEIS and will submit them in writing:
Comments raised by them have not been addressed
How will this project affect the residential persons living on the site has not been addressed.
Access to the southwest has not been commented on.

Joseph Gerry, attorney, stated the following in regards to the FEIS:
The FEIS has not addressed what the elimination of the Route 31 access will do to KFC.
It is the position of KFC, that there are strings attached to the offer to convey. The strings
attached are that they pay some amount of money, even if it is $1.00. There is no mention
about improving the rear access that goes to their parcel. KFCis prepared to improve the

road up to their property line. They are not prepared to improve the property that Mr.
Gerardi is referring to.
The State DOT letter of June 8, states that the developer of the COR center should
provide an internal connection. The KFC takes this to mean - not sell them a piece of land
that will provide alternative connection.
Furthermore, KFC would like to cooperate.
To the extent that there are no strings attached -
Access will be conveyed but the applicant will have to pay for it, improve it and
Route 31 will be cut off.
Mr. Gerry stated that if Route 31 is cut off- it is a defacto taking.
Hearing no more questions, Chairman Kovac closed the public hearings.
Motion was made by James Keefe, seconded by Ferdinand Lepinske, to pass a resolution accepting
the FEIS as being complete and subject to beginning the 10-day comment period as of June 15,
2001. Motion Passed.

Public Hearings:
01-4-1 Andrew Augustinos - Zone Change Recommendation, R-1 to C-1, 4976 West Taft
Road.
Mr. Augustinos explained that a Special Permit had been issued to him for a home occupation,
a hair salon, but only for himself. Since breaking his hand, he can no longer work at that
profession, so he would like to change the parcel to a C-1. He would like to conduct another
business, or perhaps rent or sell the structure. Uses Mr. Augustinos gave as examples were an
insurance office or a real estate office.

Chairman Kovac asked Mr. Augustinos what the size of the lot was and he said that it was 159
feet by 103 feet. Mr. Augustinos added that there are a _ lot of
businesses neighboring his parcel. Chairman Kovac stated that Onondaga County Planning
says the lot is 159 feet by 64 feet, the widening of Taft Road took some of the frontage of his lot.
There is residential property on both sides of Mr. Augustinos’ parcel and the County feels that
because the lot is so small, that in the future, should the structure be torn down, the C-1 use
could not be accomplished without variances. The County recommends disapproval of Mr.
Augustinos’ request.
Karen Guinup commented that the C-1 classification is aggressive and the size of the lot is
incompatible. She recommended an R-6 instead.
Attorney Scott Chatfield confirmed that there is a difference in intensity between an R-6 anda
C-1, the C-1 being a more intense use.
Town of Clay

May 23, 2001
Chairman Kovac asked if the use of a hair salon fell under the uses of an R-6 and Attorney
Chatfield said that it would. Chairman Kovac noted that a dentist office or a real estate office
could also operate under an R-6. The C-1 has drawbacks; its potential is greater than the size
of the lot. (The planning board clarified this by saying that an R-6 would be an appropriate
zone, but may not be able to be used as a hair salon. They stated that the applicant needs to
be advised of this)
Mr. Augustinos said he would consider the R-6.

Chairman asked if there were any further comments or questions from the Board or the
audience and there were none. Chairman Kovac closed the hearing.
Chairman Kovac conferred with Attorney Chatfield as to what Mr. Augustinos could do if he
wanted to seek the R-6 instead. Attorney Chatfield explained that there were two ways to
proceed the shortest route would be to withdraw his application for a change of zone to the C-1
district which is coming up before the Town Board June 4th, and reapply for the R-6.
Motion was made by James Sharpe and seconded by Water Lepkowski to recommend that the
Town Board deny without prejudice, the application made by Andrew Augustinos for a change
of zone to a C-1 on property located at 4976 West Taft Road, as the C-1 uses are too intense for
the size of the parcel. This recommendation is also in agreement with the County’s
recommendation. As an alternative it is the Planning Board’s recommendation that the parcel
be zoned an R-6 as a transitional use.
01-4-2 Johnson Liverpool, L.P. (Tactair) Site Plan - 4806 West Taft Road
David Rebhahn of Schopfer Architects, representing the applicant, explained that in 1998 they
got a permit to build an addition, but did not go ahead with it. The business is growing and
they would like to proceed with their plans.

got a permit to build an addition, but did not go ahead with it. The business is growing and
they would like to proceed with their plans.

Jerald Dwyer of Young & Franklin, Inc. added that the addition is 100 feet by 160 feet. Thirty-
six new jobs will be created. They do not feel there will be a change in traffic. The business
will be similar to what they are doing now.
Chairman Kovac asked for any comment from the Town Engineer. Ron Detota said he would
like to amend the site plan with regard to drainage, but feels it can be mitigated. All else
appears to be addressed. Attorney Chatfied added that it may be modified within the
contingency.
Chairman Kovac commented that the Commissioner of Planning and Development determined
that this did not have to go to the County Planning Board for a recommendation because it is
just a modification to an existing site plan.
Moyers Corners Fireman Robert Michelson stated that he was concerned about access to the
addition for the fire trucks and that getting to the rear parcel was almost impossible. Mr.
Rebhahn voiced concern for the landscaping and felt it was overkill to put in a road. Walter
Lepkowski suggested gravel covered with grass and Mr. Michelson said it would be suitable if it
could accommodate a 26 ton fire truck. Chairman Kovac asked if the applicant would work
with the fire department concerning this and Mr. Rebhahn said yes.

01-4-3 Northside Baptist Church Site Plan - 7965 Oswego Road:

Richard A. Wicks, Jr. the Architect representing the applicant, located the project by
architectural drawing. The Church is between Seneca Mall and Getman Road, bordered on the
south by McDonalds Restaurant. They propose constructing an addition of 14,600 square feet
to provide classrooms, new lavatory facilities and a gym. They received the variance they
needed from the Zoning Board. They have an agreement with Seneca mall to use their parking
lot. People attending the church may enter or exit at the traffic light north of their church but
only exit to the south at McDonalds.
The drainage will be to the rear. No new paving will be done. They will add some plants to
their present landscaping. Mr. Wicks, Jr. addressed elevation and that they plan on re-roofing
the church. They would like to go with white or gray vinyl siding for the addition, which will be
less maintenance and make the church more visible.
Chairman Kovac commented that the Town Engineer, Ron Detota feels the site plan is in
substantial compliance and that the County Planning Board recommended approval, stating
that there will be no significant adverse effects. They are leaving it to the Town Planning Board
to take appropriate action.
Robert Michelson, from Moyers Corners Fire Department, said he thought the site plan was
fine, but he highly recommended that the church install a sprinkler system.

01-3-9 Henry L. Cook Site Plan - 5338 West Taft Road:

Attorney Mark Grobosky, who is representing Mr. Cook stated the parcels have been joined into
one. They have gone before the Zoning Board of Appeals and their variance requests were
approved. There was a question about drainage and they propose to add an additional catch
basin. The Zoning Board conditioned buffering, trees and a six foot fence along the south
boundary.
Karen Guinup said she would like to see fence from the midway point on the east property line
to graduate in height to the back line, then remain the six foot height from the south east
corner to south west corner, then the height to graduate downward to the midway point on the
west side, so it didn’t look like a fort.
The maintenance of the fence would be the responsibility of the owner.
Attorney Grobosky said the neighbors were invited to get together with the architects to discuss
fencing and landscaping.
Walter Lepkowski suggested that the fence type be the ventilated stockade kind that looked the
same on both sides, like the fence at the new AmeriCU Credit Union on Oswego Road at Laurel
Lane.
With regard to drainage, the Town Engineer, Ron Detota said he would like to see topographic
and contour information on the plan. He would like the water contained on site and Mr. Crissy
said they would do that. Engineer Detota said he felt the dry well was the only option. Mr.
Crissy said they already have two existing dry wells on the site.

Attorney Mark Grobosky, who is representing Mr. Cook stated the parcels have been joined into

approved. There was a question about drainage and they propose to add an additional catch
basin. The Zoning Board conditioned buffering, trees and a six foot fence along the south
boundary.
Karen Guinup said she would like to see fence from the midway point on the east property line
to graduate in height to the back line, then remain the six foot height from the south east
corner to south west corner, then the height to graduate downward to the midway point on the
west side, so it didn’t look like a fort.
The maintenance of the fence would be the responsibility of the owner.
Attorney Grobosky said the neighbors were invited to get together with the architects to discuss
fencing and landscaping.
Walter Lepkowski suggested that the fence type be the ventilated stockade kind that looked the
same on both sides, like the fence at the new AmeriCU Credit Union on Oswego Road at Laurel
Lane.
With regard to drainage, the Town Engineer, Ron Detota said he would like to see topographic
and contour information on the plan. He would like the water contained on site and Mr. Crissy
said they would do that. Engineer Detota said he felt the dry well was the only option. Mr.
Crissy said they already have two existing dry wells on the site.

Commissioner Tessier commented that the County Planning Board recommended removal of
the residence, and said he would go on record that he did not feel there was any point in doing
that. He feels it is a perfectly good residence. Commissioner Tessier advised the board that
because of the County Board’s recommendation if the Board voted to approve the site plan the
Page 4

Planning Board Meeting
May 23, 2001
vote would have to be a majority plus one. Also he noted that the Zoning Board had granted
the variances with conditions that the applicant complete the construction in substantial
compliance with technical plans presented that the offending trailer, telephone lines and junk
piles be removed, and further that processed waste be stored inside the building, and further
that landscaping and fencing and trees be installed pursuant to direction from the Planning
Board (to form sound and visual barrier to rear of property), and further that all venting to be
to the side of the building if architecturally and mechanically possible and not out the rear of
the building. All items should be taken care of with these plans except for the landscaping
which was left up to the planning board. The Commissioner advised that the trees be six to
eight feet, not four feet to six feet as proposed, so that they are taller than the fencing, and that
there be seven trees.
Attorney Grobosky said they would agree to that.

Ferdinand Lepinske said he would like them to be evergreens. Attorney Grobosky said that
was what he had in mind.
Chairman Kovac asked if there were any further comments or questions and there were none.
He asked for those in favor and there were none and for those opposed and there were none.
Chairman Kovac closed the hearing.
Motion was made by Karen Guinup and seconded by Walter Lepkowski in connection with
Case #01-3-4 for Henry L. Cook to adopt a resolution using Standard Form #10 for SEQR
purposes, that the site plan be declared a negative declaration, as there appears to be no
environmental impacts that cannot be mitigated. This action does not involve any other
agencies, including the Federal Government. Also using Standard Form #20, that the site plan
be approved, based on a map by The Crissy Architectural Group, dated February 5, 2001,
revised March 15, 2001, revised April 11, job #00252 conditioned upon construction of a wood
fence not to exceed six feet, starting at approximately the north east corner of the existing
structure, running along the easterly line in a southerly direction to the south line, along the
south line with a vented stockade fence, continuing around the west perimeter of the property
to the south west corner of the existing residence building. The Planning Board is acting
contrary to the County Board’s recommendation with respect to the removal of the house on
the north west corner of the property. Approval is also subject to legal and engineering.
Motion carried.

Frank Harrigan, the Attorney representing the applicant, presented three letters to the Board.
One was from the United States Department of the Interior, dated March 22, 2001, stating in
part no Federally listed endangered species under their jurisdiction are known to exist in the
project impact area, the second from the New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation dated April 3, 2001, stating in part that they have no record of rare or state listed
animals, plants, significant natural communities, or other significant habitats, on or near the
site, and the third from the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic
Preservation dated February 27, 2001, stating in part that there is no effect upon cultural
resources.

As far as a gate goes, Attorney Harrigan said they would agree with the Board’s
recommendation.
Attorney Harrigan noted that the tower is not tall enough to require lights, but because of its
proximity to Michael Airfield, the FAA has been notified. When the Town Board makes their
decision, and if they approve of the Special Permit the FAA will go forward and notify the
nearby airfields, but that is contingent on the Town Board’s approval.

Ferdinand Lepinske said he wanted the gate and wanted it locked. The Fire Department has
bolt cutters if needed. The gate discourages people from driving in.
Raymond Florzyk expressed concern for the tower being in proximity of his airfield.
Commissioner Tessier said the concerns of the Town Board were that a removal bond be
supplied by the applicant in the event that the tower had to be removed in the future, and that
there should also be a fall zone easement.
Attorney Chatfield stated that a condition should be added that the applicant agree to co-
location and at a market price.
Attorney Harrigan said that they would agree, that the tower can have up to five carriers.
Commissioner Tessier said he would like the gate on the property line.
Ferdinand Lepinske expressed concerns for ultra lights if the tower is unlighted. Attorney
Harrigan said whether it is lighted or not is up to the FAA. Charlie Branagh said he wanted to
be on record that para planes and ultra lights could be a problem, that an unlit tower might
not be seen.
Attorney Chatfield pointed out that if people were flying under 200 feet they better be aware of
what they are doing.
Charlie Hart, a pilot that runs the Cicero Airport said the tower is right in the line of his
runway and with inexperienced student pilots, he feels the site is in a bad spot.

reviewed the building elevation and added that they planned on erecting two 50 square feet
signs, one on the front of the building and one on the back of the building..
Chairman Kovac asked about trash pick-up and Mr. Beeler said they would have it hauled
away as needed. Walter Lepkowski said he would like to see shrubbery around the trash corral
and Mr. Beeler said they could screen the brick wall.

property is zoned A-1.

Cingular Wireless is a co-applicant with SBA properties for the construction of a 150-foot cellular
tower. Geraldine French Trust owns the property for the proposed location of this tower. Cingular
Wireless and SBA properties have a “Build to Suit Agreement” in New York State, whereby SBA has
been commissioned to construct wireless telecommunications towers in select locations at Cingular’s
request to meet Cingular’s network build out needs.
This location was selected to service wireless users in an area that currently “drops” calls. No other
suitable locations were found. The site, if the pole were constructed, would eliminate gaps in
communication coverage.
The proposal is to construct a 150-foot monopole, on property that is approximately 100 X 100 feet.
There will be a 20 x 11 equipment room located on the site. A 6-foot fence, topped with 12” of
barbed wire, will surround the area. The proposed site meets all zoning requirements. The “fall zone”
exists in every direction. The site meets all the ice and wind standards. Emissions are far below
federal standards. The tower is designed to collapse within itself.
The applicant stated that any landscaping design would be adhered to. The discussion of a gate at the
entry road was discussed. The applicant will comply with the planning board on this issue and install
a gate, if necessary.

still need to be submitted by the applicant. The re-subdivision of this parcel has not been filed, as of
this date.
Chairman Kovac asked if there were any questions from the Board.
Walter Lepkowski stated that it appeared that there is a 4 square mile coverage area per tower and
asked the applicant if they had any additional plans for more towers in the Town of Clay or Town of
Cicero. The applicant responded that they did not have any additional tower plans, at this time.
Ferdinand Lepinske commented that he felt that a gate at the entrance would be needed.
The planning board could request of the Town Board, that the site plan be sent back to the planning
board for the issue of the gate and fencing/ or the Planning Board could list the items they would

8252 Oswego Road
Don Doerr was present to brief the board on the preliminary plat for Amy Benson and Douglas
Jarvis for property located at 8252 Oswego Road. The parcel is currently zoned R-6.
Mr. Doerr commented that the gravel area has been paved, as of today. The trees that were to be
planted in the back of the parcel have not been planted due to the weather and soft condition on the
land. He commented that the area is now solid enough to plant the trees in the rear of the parcel.
The sign that was placed on the roof was removed and will be placed in the approved location, per
the sign approval that was obtained by the applicant.
Chairman Kovac asked who owned the chain link fence located to the rear of the parcel. The fence
belongs to the neighbor in the back of the parcel.
Karen Guinup reminded the applicant that roof signs are not permitted in the Town of Clay.
Ron DeTota, engineer, commented that the following items needed to be shown on the final plan:
Title with a better description of the parcel
Sanitary Sewer to the North West needs to be shown
Easement associated with the sanitary sewer needs to be shown
Adjacent zoning needs to be shown on the map.
Hearing no more questions or comments, Chairman Kovac closed the public hearing.

engineer, Richard DiCesare, traffic engineer, Neil Madden, partner in the law firm of Harter, Secrest
& Emery, and James Williams, sign consultant were present to brief the board on any new
developments to the site plan and to review any changes that have been made.
Neil Madden commented that the Planning Board did receive the FEIS on the Sunday before this
meeting and the additional information regarding traffic just before the meeting. He asked that the
board accept the FEIS and that this document be sent on so that the process can move forward. He
commented that accepting the FEIS does not bind the board but does permit the process to move
forward.
Mr. Madden had the following comments in regards to the DEIS and the Corridor Management
Plan:
The Corridor Study is not a legal document
The plan presented complies with the important criteria of the study
It is not appropriate, under SEQR, to require this applicant to mitigate other properties.
The private applicants need to seek alternatives.
He commented that the FEIS meets criteria, it contains the DEIS and comments.

Peter Giovenco, civil engineer, commented on the site plan changes and reviewed other aspects of
the plan. The entry drive was relocated and has been aligned with the drive that continues to the
front of the plaza. All other entrances have remained the same. The applicant has re-designed the
drive in the rear of the parcel to comply with the fire departments request. Landscaping plans are
presented in the package and have not changed. The alignment of the sanitary sewers have changed
and the drainage ponds are slightly larger. The plans are almost complete, with some minor fine-
tuning of the ponds.
Site plan approval will include the McDonalds location. The planning board requested that the
applicant provide more information on this proposed construction. A representative will be present
at the meeting on May 23, 2001 to discuss the plans for McDonald's.
Planning Board reminded the applicant that they are permitted one freestanding shopping center
sign.
Richard DiCesare, traffic engineer, touched briefly on the traffic report and the addendum that was
submitted to the board for their review. The addendum is a result of additional questions State DOT
had on traffic and the request from State Dot for finer detail on some issues. The planning board has
not had adequate time to review these documents.

The applicant offered additional mitigation to the traffic concerns that were presented. East bound
lane configuration, at the location of the new traffic signal, was changed to have less impact on Route
31. At the Dell Center Drive location, two lanes will be fully dedicated to left turn only lanes. The
Carling Road area will permit left hand turns to turn at the same time. Optimizing signalization along
the Route 31 corridor between this project and through the Route 31 and Morgan Road area will be
addressed. Route 481 and Soule Road intersection was discussed and it appears that the need for a
traffic signal exists today.
Chairman Kovac asked if the State DOT had received the FEIS and addendum. The applicant
responded that they would deliver the documents the day after this meeting.
The applicant is applying for variances on this parcel and will appear before the ZBA on May 14,
2001. The applicant requested the ZBA to give an advisory opinion on the variances requested by
May 14, 2001, if possible.
Chairman Kovac stated that the planning board cannot comply with the applicant’s request to accept
the FEIS. The documents that have been submitted need comment from the State DOT. The
documents will be submitted to the State DOT for their comment within a 30-day period. The
planning board will request that the State DOT submit their comments, in writing, by June 8, 2001.
The public hearings will be adjourned to May 23, 2001

Onondaga County Planning Board recommendation commented in their review of the project that they were
concetned the existing residence on the northern part of Lot # 23 will be an inappropriate and conflicting land use

be a burden to his client

the gasoline station to be zoned the same as the station itself. The applicant
should consult with Jim Stelter of OCDOT in regard to access permits, design
and location of the driveways.”

community or countywide implications and may be acted on solely by the referring
board.
The applicant is proposing a 3,500 square foot convenience store and 16 bay filling
station.
Mr. Curtin stated that, at this time, they have no definite plans for the C-2 portion of the
site. They envision professional office type facilities with a 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM type
operation.

is showing 3 access points for this parcel on this plan. The possibility of eliminating one
of those access points was discussed.
Chairman Kovac asked if there were any questions from the board.
Walter Lepkowski asked how much traffic the proposed Hess station would generate.
The applicant responded that they conducted a comparison study and found that trips
generated are between 161-200 per day- depending on the day and time of the week.

The proposed lighting plan was discussed and the applicant will used a toned down
lighting plan, due to the fact that this parcel will abut residential property.
A resident on Meadow Wood Drive stated that the lighting from the strip mall is pretty
bright and inquired as to the type of lighting that would be used on this site. He also
asked about the trees that are shown on the plan.

along the parcel that abuts residential, had to finish the buildings in cedar siding and the
roof needed to be a gabled roof. He felt that there is a residential demand for this parcel
and that he would like to recommend to the board that they not approve this zone
change to C-2.

within the residential nature of the area.

of the site.

The applicant responded that the line of existing trees would provide a better screening
than a berm with evergreens. The elimination of the parking spaces on the west side
would not be a problem.
The parcel to the east of this parcel was discussed. This parcel is owned by the Fava &
Bassett Families. Chairman Kovac felt that it would be beneficial if the owners of the
parcel to the east and the owners of the Raymour parcel could work something out
regarding internal vehicular access.

30-foot poles with a three-foot base. Lighting will be downward and, on the back of the
parcel, shields will be added to the lights.

placing a hydrant within 50 feet of the sprinkler connections. There are two sprinkler
connections shown.

The exterior of the buildings will be masonry block, similar to the architecture of the existing
buildings owned by JGB on Executive Park Drive.
Lighting plan was shown on the plan. There will be no spill off lighting onto the residential areas.
Lighting that abuts the residential areas will be shut off at 9:00 PM.
Joe Mufale commented that perhaps JGB would consider building the easterly building first due to
the fact that the office area frontage will be more aesthetically pleasing for the residents that abut the
area.
There will not be a sprinkler system for the buildings. Moyer’s Corners Fire Department
representative commented that a fire truck could maneuver on the proposed roadways.
Truck deliveries will be between the hours of 9 AM and 4PM for these warehouses.
Hearing no more questions, Chairman Kovac closed the public hearing.
Motion was made by Karen Guinup, seconded by James Keefe, to adopt a resolution using Standard
Form # 10, that for SEQR purposes, the site plan for Executive Park Section # 2, case # 01-2-1 be
declared an unlisted action that does not have any adverse effect on drainage, traffic or the
environment. This action does not involve any other agencies, including the Federal Government.

Town of Clay Regular Meeting
March 28, 2001
01-2-7 William F. Arnold Preliminary Plat/- west side of Oswego Road, (Route 57), just north
of Linda Lane
Mr. Arnold presented the proposed plans for his property on the west side of Oswego Road, just
north of Linda Lane.
Mr. Arnold proposes to divide approximately 19 acres into 3 lots currently zoned A-1 and R-1. Lot #
1 would have 2.3 acres and is being proposed for single-family development, lot # 2 has 7.7 acres
and is labeled “not for development” and has frontage on Route 57 under a NYSPA power line right
of way and lot #3 has Mr. Arnold’s existing residence and barn with access either to Gaskin Road or
via a driveway over Karen Street (a paper street) to Linda Lane.
The Onondaga County Planning Agency recommended that the application be disapproved for the
following reason:
The Board believes this subdivision should be reshaped to provide internal access from
Linda Lane for both Lots 2 and 3 and that the Town should insure that Lot 1 is suitable for a
building lot before this lot is created.
Ron DeTota’s letter regarding issues that could be mitigated was discussed. One comment was that
the applicant provide a storm water easement. This needs to be shown on the plan and approved by
the Town.

Consider relocating the building and parking area by shifting more towards Route 57.
Drainage area will be considered with the possible shifting of the building and equal
sensitivity to the neighbor close to Route 57 will be considered in the shift.
The applicant shifted the building and parking area 30 feet closer to Route 57. This shift left
a minimum buffer for the property closest to Route 57 and moved the entrances to the
parcel further from the curve on Pine Hollow Drive.
The applicant will show the driveway entrances to the adjacent parcel on the revised site
plan. This was shown on the revised plan.
Exterior lighting was shown on the plan. The applicant proposes to have three (3) 20-foot poles and 4
lighting fixtures on the front of the building. The poles will use 250 W bulbs and the fixtures on the
building will use 175 W bulbs.
Ron DeTota, Town engineer, stated that he was confident that any engineering issues could be mitigated
Bob Michelson, Moyers Corners Fire Department, stated that he was confident any fire department
concerns would be addressed by the applicant.

Peter Giovenco, Civil Engineer, commented that the building layout has stayed the same. The
circulation for the parking lot has remained the same. The applicant has added curbed islands with
tress along the access drive, in an effort to be visually pleasing and to create a safer traffic flow. The
applicant has proposed curbing for many of the islands in the front of the buildings.
Utility plans are the same as previous. Mr. Giovenco commented that the intent for the drainage is to
not discharge any more water than is currently being discharged. The applicant will be creating a loop
system, dedicated to OCWA, for water.

00-12-1 COR Route 31 Company, LLC Site Plan - north side of Route 31, west of Dell Center
Drive
Joseph Gerardi, Vice President/Legal Counsel, Peter Giovenco, Civil Engineer, Richard LaMont,
Architect for Home Depot and Greg Stevens, Project Manager for McDonalds, were present to
present the ongoing development of the site on the north side of Route 31, west of Dell Center
Drive.
Peter Giovenco, Civil Engineer, commented that the building layout has stayed the same. The
circulation for the parking lot has remained the same. The applicant has added curbed islands with
tress along the access drive, in an effort to be visually pleasing and to create a safer traffic flow. The
applicant has proposed curbing for many of the islands in the front of the buildings.
Utility plans are the same as previous. Mr. Giovenco commented that the intent for the drainage is to
not discharge any more water than is currently being discharged. The applicant will be creating a loop
system, dedicated to OCWA, for water.

Chairman Kovac asked if the applicant felt that the retention basin to the west of the parcel was the
best location. Mr. Giovenco responded that it was the best location for that basin.
Planning Board Minutes
Town of Clay Regular Meeting
March 14, 2001
Chairman Kovac inquired about the small triangle piece of property on the northeast corner of the
plan. He commented that there appeared to be a right of way that was not on their property. The
existing road ends at this parcel. He would like to see some assurance that the road could go further
west in the future.
Walter Lepkowski asked where the applicant intended to push snow. He asked if the parking area
had catch basins for melting snow or excess water on the parcel. The applicant responded that there
were catch basins built into the inside parts of the islands.
Walter Lepkowski had some questions on traffic. The traffic engineer was not present at tonight’s
meeting but the applicant responded that they would make a note of any questions or concerns. His
concern was that the traffic study is based on expected and anticipated traffic in the area. If the actual
traffic exceeds the anticipated, at which point does the system break down .If the level of service
goes from Level E to Level F at one intersection, does it then cause a domino effect for all the
remaining intersections. He would be interested in the applicant creating a “what if “ scenario to
determine how much leeway there is in the study.

Chairman Kovac asked if the applicant felt that the retention basin to the west of the parcel was the
best location. Mr. Giovenco responded that it was the best location for that basin.

determine how much leeway there is in the study.

Joe Gerardi commented that generally the approach for a traffic study is a very conservative
approach and fairly realistic. He stated that he would present the question to the traffic engineering.
Paul Reagan, attorney representing the owners to the south west of this development, asked how
much distance there is between the southern end of the retention pond and the property line. The
applicant responded approximately 20-25 feet. Mr. Reagan asked if the applicant had to bring a
backhoe in to do some work, how would they get there. The applicant responded that there would be
room to work and that they would be sure that all the grading was done on the site and that there is a
flat area for future maintenance.
Mr. Reagan asked about the location of the access drive and how that relates to the properties, both
to the southwest and properties to the south of Route 31. The applicant responded that this site plan
is one that is still under constant development. The applicant is aware of the fact that the board
members have questions as to combining access and what they can do. The applicant stated that they
are taking a very careful look at the tax parcels and that there will not be the ability to tie into all the
parcels.

Bob Michelson, Moyers Comers Fire Department, asked about the width of the perimeter road.
Applicant responded that it was 30 feet. Mr. Michelson stated that the fire department had requested
that the access in the rear be at least one and one half times the height of the proximate walls. He
also commented that the applicant did not address the removal of the island in the rear portion of
the parcel. The applicant responded that they would work with the fire department to address their
concerns.
Motion was made by Walter Lepkowski, seconded by James Sharpe, to adjourn the public hearing to

applicant is proposing two, possibly three 15-20 foot light poles for the parking area. Building
entranceways will be lit for safety purposes.
Onondaga County Planning Agency reviewed the site plan and determined that the plan would have
no significant impact and could be acted upon solely by the planning board. They had the following
comment concerning the plan:
That the parking area be re-designed for bus or van drop-offs without hindering the flow of
traffic.
The applicant commented that the parking area should be able to handle the drop off vans or small
call-a buses that drop off residents without hindering the flow of traffic.
Ron DeTota reviewed his letter to the applicant and all items are being addressed and will be
mitigated.
Acting Chairman Lepkowski asked if there were any questions and the following residents asked to
speak:

would be five.
Margaret Rushinko asked where the building would be placed in relation to Pine Hollow.
Patty Matthewson asked why there were two entrances proposed, how big the shed was and why it
was located in the front of the building. She asked why there are more parking spaces than the
original 35 that were granted by variance. She commented on the need for a sidewalk to the
crosswalk on Route 57 and the need for better drainage in that area.
Tom Matthewson asked if the entire building and parking lot could be shifted more towards Route
57, He felt that the curve in Streamwood would present a safety hazard and that the shifting of the
building would alleviate this and also allow more of a distance to the rear parcels.
Don Jordan, agreed with the concept of the possible shifting of the building closer to Route 57, He
also asked if the poles could be lower than 20 feet.
Bob Michelson, Moyers Corners Fire Department, commented that a hydrant within 50 feet of the
building would be the preference of the fire department.
Hearing the above comments, the applicant agreed to revise the proposed site plan with the
following:
Relocate dumpster and shed to the other side of the lot. Enclose dumpster with the same
siding as the building and they will side the shed with the same material.

The Laurel Springs Assistive Living center will be constructed at 4845 West Taft Road. There will be 72
one-bedroom apartments, with a common dining room, a kitchen area, medication rooms and recreational
areas, There will be a community room upstairs that will be open to the community. The center will be very
similar to Buckley Landing, with the exception of the fact that the Buckley Landing units are efficiency
apartments and are 50 % subsidized by the government. These units will be one-bedroom apartments and
will be self-pay.
There will be a long access road from West Taft Road. Laurel Springs has an arrangement being negotiated
with Birchwood to provide some management services. Laurel Springs will become a feeder system to the
Birchwood Nursing Facility and, in turn, Laurel Springs will accept rehab persons from Birchwood into
their center.
The building will be residential in nature, with clapboard siding. The building will be a two-story building
that is approximately 60,000 square feet and will be approximately 30-35 feet high. There will be a
screened in porch on the second floor of the building. A full sprinkler system will be used for the building.

would probably come down after the project is complete.
Walter Lepkowski asked if the dumpster will be of sufficient size to accommodate the units. He asked if it
will be enclosed and how much space there was within the area. Mr. Mastriano stated that the dumpster

Mr. Mastriano stated that he could show a future drive as a connection between the two facilities. He
thought that ideally, it would be a good idea. At this time, the two facilities are two separate entities but if
arrangements work out between Birchwood and Laurel Springs, it would be in the best interest of both to
have this connection.
Bob Michelson, Moyer’s Corners Fire Department, asked how long the structure will be. Mr. Mastriano
stated approximately 460 feet. Bob Michelson said that the fire department would prefer a hydrant within
50 feet of the sprinkler connection. Mr. Michelson asked how wide the entry road is and will inquire of the
fire department if it needs to be wider for the turning radius of the fire trucks.
Chairman Kovac asked the town engineer if he felt comfortable if the planning board approved the plan

Chairman Kovac asked for comment from the town engineer. Ron DeTota commented that, due to the fact
that this preliminary plat was received late today, he had not had the chance to write the comment letter.

land. The concern was that if it did drain towards Stearns Road, this would be the time for the Town to
request that easement. Once it was determined that the drainage did go towards Stearns Road, it was
suggested that the Town request the easement. The applicant is offering the easement to the Town. Any
other items, if was felt could be mitigated.
Lot 1A has been surveyed. It was determined that there was inadequate information for the entire parcel.
The applicant will send Scott Chatfield copies of the deed, adjacent deeds and plat maps for the remainder
of the parcel.

Scott Chatfield had suggested to the applicant that they review the Onondaga County Environmental
Management Council maps with concerns in regards to the project to any issues that may or may not be
there. They have done that, from the environmental prospective, and determined that since it is
commercially zoned, it should be relatively straightforward from a SEQR point. Since it is a large project,
the applicant has offered to prepare an environmental impact statement to take a thorough and complete
look at the impact of this project. The applicant did request a special meeting be held on January 31, 2001
to accept the DEIS as complete and to circulate for the 30 day comment period.
The applicant has created an internal road to alleviate congestion on Route 31. They have aligned an access
on Dell Drive with Sam’s entrance. The main entrance will be from Route 31 with a 2 lane ingress and two
lane egress configuration with an anticipated traffic signal on Route 31, west of Dell Drive.
Islands in the parking area were suggested for several reasons. Better traffic control in the parking area and
amore aesthetically pleasing area were the main reasons for the suggestion.
The buildings will be staggered and landscaping will be added for a more aesthetically pleasing look. This
will break up the long straight look of a strip center.
The applicant plans on eliminating truck traffic from the front of the store by having segregated truck
access.

board could not provide that special meeting. He stated that if the planning board had the DEIS now, the
planning board could review it for form and content.

water across the property. This work was never done.
The applicant needs to comply with the above request before any further build out on this parcel is
approved.

The following items need to be shown on a revised site plan:
e Dimensions of the building should be shown on the site plan

¢ Distance between the two buildings needs to be shown on site plan
© The swale needs to be constructed with 3 on | side slopes, a minimum depth of 2 feet,
and a minimum slope of .005 ft/foot. Once the construction of the swale is complete
topographic as-builts of the swale will need to be provided to the Town for review and
acceptance. All disturbed areas within the Town drainage easement will need to be
topsoiled and seeded, and have a vigorous grass growth established.
