Chairman Mitchell opened the Hearing; Lisa Wennberg of Keplinger Freeman Associates presented the plan. Lisa began; this is a special permit referral to the Town Board for a drive thru. The traffic will be directed around the building and exit onto the one-way drive. Hal Henty said he doesn’t like the traffic flow of the whole site. Michelle Borton asked if the exit from the drive thru could be moved to the west. Devin Dal Pos of Laker Development said that smaller vehicles won’t have an issue making the sharp turn out. Hal Henty said there are an awful lot of larger vehicles and trucks rushing in for coffee on their way to work. The traffic study says there are 51 vehicles per hour until 10AM.

Jim Palumbo said there are 3 buildings on the lot could, the connecting buildings be separated and have the drive thru go between them. Mr. Dal Pos explained that Starbucks does not want to be in a standalone building, and the drive cannot be changed due to stacking. The board had a long discussion regarding exiting traffic from the drive thru. The concern is the right turn from the drive thru and then exiting onto the westerly one-way drive. After much discussion and different alternatives, the applicant is going to reconfigure this area slightly which is satisfactory to the board.
Russ asked if there were any more comments or questions, hearing none he asked for a motion.
A motion was made by Jim Palumbo seconded by Alan Kovac to make a

Karen commented on the applicants change in calculating the parking requirement by proposed use on the Title Page. She is looking to the Planning Dept. for input on this issue.
On Drawing C103A she expressed concern regarding the first intersection with the right in drive traffic and traffic between parcels 2 and 3.
On Drawing C130B move the location of the stop sign on the westerly entry drive to the internal drive where traffic would be exiting parcel 4 to the westerly drive and placing a stop sign on the first drive isle entering the internal drive approaching the new stop sign
location to exit parcel 4. Karen also agreed with the Chair and Mr. Henty that the pole height including the base should be 25 ft. on parcel 4.

Russ Mitchell opened the hearing, Steven Cleason of APD Engineering and Architecture presented the plan. Russ asked Mr. Cleason which of the 2 site plans he would be using. Mr. Cleason explained the plan, the revision dates were added, as well as all variances dates to the cover sheet. All parking spaces measure 9 % X 20 feet. There was a parking study conducted and Mr. Cleason doesn’t see a need for the additional 6 spaces.
Russ asked why there were bollards on the plan; Mr. Cleason said the curbs are not 6 inches high so people were driving into the side of the building.
Scott Chatfield why there can only be 1 Site Plan, and why the future parking has to be on the Plan. The applicant could go to the ZBA to decrease the parking.
Jim Palumbo said it seems the applicant should just put the 6 parking spaces in now, we are setting a precedence. All the applicants will want to put over flow parking in rather than adding the amount required by the Town Code. There was a lengthy discussion on the 6 parking spaces.
Russ Mitchell asked if there were any comments or questions, hearing none he closed the public hearing.

Finalizing all easements, storm water and sanitary sewers. The fire department will contact the planning department. The applicant received an E-mail from the Fire Dept. on Monday.
Jim Palumbo pointed out the discussion with State DOT on the crosswalks.
