Karen looked at the County comments, there are some suggested modifications.
Karen asked where the second fire hydrant will be located, Mr. Mahoney said they weren’t sure yet. She asked how tall the building will be. Mr. Mahoney said 24 ft. She asked where the U-Haul accessories were being stored; Mr. Mahoney said they will be in the new 25 X 25 ft building, located where the U-haul office is now. Karen said the previous owner had to get a special permit for the U-Haul office and parking. Karen said the applicant may have to go for a new special permit for the U-Haul office and parking if it is being moved.
Karen suggested the applicant hold off on Phase III, since that will be so far down the road. Phase I and II for now and come back when ready for Phase III.
Hal Henty asked if there will be any outdoor storage when Phase III is complete. The
applicant said no.
Michelle Borton will you be using all the existing fencing, There needs to be more detail on the plan in regards to fencing.
Jim Palumbo we have an old survey from the previous owners. We should have a current survey and an updated Site Plan. He also asked how much impervious pavement would be added. The plantings in the front need to label the type of plants.
In Phase III the pavement doesn’t go all the way around. You may need full circulation someday to continue the pavement for first responders. Jim thanked the applicant for laying out the buildings in this manner.
Russ Mitchell asked if they would put the address number on the side of the approved sign. The applicant said they would.
Ron Detota said he does have the updated survey from Ianuzi and Romans, The applicant would have to go before the Town Board for abandonment. There are leach fields to the south, we need to identify where the infrastructure is moving forward.
Water from the south is going into the basin.
Waiting for the transfer of the DEC Permit to the new owner.
Karen asked if there were any comments or questions, hearing none she closed the public hearing.

The applicant is applying for a zone change to LUC-1 limited use commercial for a gas station on the northeast corner of Morgan Road and State Route 31. The proposed building will be 5600 sq. ft, with 32 parking spaces. The applicant will go for a variance for a drive thru window.
Karen said there is a letter from Paul and Cheryl Parsons residents, they are opposed. Karen went over the County comments,
Special permit for a drive thru? Why do you have to go for a variance with all the
property you have.
Who is your in-service for food? Fastrac does all their own food. Karen also asked If the applicant received the ok for right in right out only?
Karen opened it up to the Board; Jim Palumbo wants to take a good look at the other 3 corners, and their zoning.
Hal Henty said there was a past grocery store on 1 corner, a past gas station across from the Euclid restaurant. Hal doesn’t think this will increase traffic.

Brian Bouchard of CHA was present for the applicant. He began by saying the storm water has all been addressed. The sheds have been removed except the gazebo and the two large sheds/garages. The gazebo is frozen to the ground and the two large sheds/ garages will be moved to the back of the site for storage in the contractor’s service yard.
Hal Henty said the carport is still out front. He also said that the applicant has made an honest effort in the last 3 days.
Karen Guinup said the applicant had plenty of time to remove the sheds before the snow flew. The site is now in violation and the planning department could cite the owner.
