7:35 PM - *Case #2014-046 — Morgan Meadows — Preliminary Plat (3) - Morgan Road, South of Waterhouse Road
Hal Romans was present for the applicant. Mr. Romans explained the plan; the property is located just north of the rail road tracks on Morgan Road. The property is zoned R 7.5 the owner would like to use septic, rather than sewers. There will be 11 lots in a cul-de- sac, and this is within Town Code. The stormwater management system is located in the back of the property. There is an existing water main. They are proposing 1 curb cut onto Morgan Road, perk tests are done, and most of the systems will be conventional. The 500 foot industrial line goes through the lots and will have to be looked at by the Boards.
David asked about the high water table, Hal said the water table is high but they have passed for septic placement.
Michelle Borton said the water table is in the range of 1 to 3.5 ft, but the County requires 4 ft. and says it can be mitigated although it won’t be easy.
Al Kovac asked if they looked into sewers, Hal Romans said they would have to go through 2 lots, and go under the rail road tracks and that would be to costly.
Chairman Hess asked if Hal was aware of the plan for development to the north, and he was, however cross connectivity won’t work. The County recommends disapproval due to sewer problems, Hal said that is why they plan on going with private septic.
Regular Meeting Planning Board September 24, 2014 Ron said grading will be tough, contours will have deep cuts. Changing the 24" pipe under Morgan road, the SPEDES report says you have to add 1 foot up hill between lots 3 & 4. Two side by side swales bypassing your ponds, Ron suggests the applicant take all of this into consideration as there are drainage issues that need to be addressed.
A motion was made by Russ Mitchell seconded by Allen Kovac to adjourn the hearing to
October 8, 2014.
Motion Passed 7-0
7:40 PM - *Case2014-048 — Tiny Bubbles Laundromat — Site Plan (3) — 7544 Oswego Road
Chairman Hess said that there would be no action tonight because the applicant will go in front of the ZBA on October 13, 2014.
Hal Romans explained the plan; this is the existing Byrne Dairy Store on Route 57. They will build a roof over hang to cover the entrance and sidewalk. Concrete walk in front, the parking in the rear of the building will be moved next to the building for safety reasons. The building will be resided with viny] siding on the bottom and architectural shingles on top; they will be a neutral color. The dumpster enclosure will be viny! slats in chain link same color as the building. Karen said that the vinyl slats don’t hold up to the weather and will not look good for long. She also asked about the gate for the dumpster enclosure; the metal fencing tends to bend and sag after a while.
The parking spaces will be reduced from 26 spaces to 21. The landscape will be low growing plants and grass; the lighting will be wall lights.
Chairman Hess is concerned about the wall packs in back for the Residents that back up to this lot. He also asked about the County comments, Trip generation needs to be done, a permit for the drive, and has the applicant gone to M&T bank and asked if they could cross onto the drive so cars could exit at the traffic light?
James Palumbo asked Hal to define the landscape, would like to see plants that will hold up to the snow and winter weather, possibly an evergreen massing along the back as a screen. He noted the front addition needs to be added to the plan.
Joyce Cerrito a resident of Bayberry looked at the site, and commented on the condition of the fence all along the commercial property. She said it is rickety and something should be done. Hal Romans showed Ms. Cerrito on the plan that the fence does not belong to this property. She also commented on how difficult it is to turn into the lot coming from the south.
