**7:30 P.M. Case #2015-044- Spring Storage Park, Inc. (3) —7707 Henry Clay Blvd. — Special Permit (Contractor’s Service Yard)
Spring Storage Park appeared before the Planning Board for a Special Permit for a ‘Contractor ’s Service Yard’ during the hearing it was found that the definition of ‘Public Self-Storage Facility’ would cover the use of the roll-off dumpsters, if the applicant were to amend their current site plan, and if the Planning Board agrees to remove the condition of ‘No Outdoor Storage Allowed’. Because of this finding, the requirement for a Special Permit from the Planning Board would not be necessary, and the application was withdrawn. The Special Permit from the Town Board for ‘Motor Vehicle Storage’ is still required and necessary for the applicant’s violations to be resolved.

Closed Hearings - Board/Applicant discussions:
Young Road (Adjourned from 14 previous meetings)
Chairperson Guinup opened the hearing. Tim Coyer of Ianuzi and Romans was present on behalf of the applicant, along with Michael Bragman. Mr. Bragman explained the revised plan. He believes that the zoning category R-15 is the best use of the land for this area, The previous plan was 127 acres with 170 home sites. They next looked at the potential for clustering and found that 83 acres would yield 72 home sites, this was not feasible after installing the gas, electric and sewers. This revised plan would take out the 6 acre parcel, and 37 acre parcels to the west of the proposal. The remaining 83 acres would now contain approximately 92 homesites.
Scott Chatfield asked Mr. Bragman if he still intends to purchase the 2 parcels to the west, and he said that he does.
Chairperson Guinup stated that the Town Board has acknowledged the Northern Land Use Study. She stated that the intent of this study was to protect open space, wildlife and wetlands and this new proposal would be a compromise.
Mr. Bragman stated that the County will most likely not be granting any new sewer extensions so he does not foresee any further subdivisions in this area. Russ Mitchell stated that he was not crazy about the original plan, but he is pleased with this revision. He also asked if there will be easy access to the trails, and Mr. Bragman stated that there will be 6-8 spaces for parking.
Al Kovac supports this new plan.
Michelle Borton is in favor of the zone change.
