A motion was made by Karen Guinup, seconded by Allen Kovac to make the following
recommendation to the Town Board:
The Town Board Special Permit for a truck terminal should be denied based on the fact that the Planning Board has requested, several times, that a Site Plan be submitted and this said Site Plan and fee has not been forthcoming. The Planning Board needs this overall Site Plan to see the way the entire site functions and how the rest of the building will be used before a Special Permit can be issued.
Motion Passed 5-0
**2012-044 – Eric Dorn (Contractor’s Service Yard) – Special Permit– 4582 Buckley Road (Adjourned from 4 previous meetings)
The Board stated that the previously submitted drawings are inadequate and updated Site Plan and associated fee have not yet been provided as yet.
Scott Chatfield recommended that the Board adjourn this matter and also that in doing so is in no way a stay in enforcement, the goodwill of code enforcement should continue to look at how the
applicant is proceeding, but not allow an abuse of the uses occurring on the property.
Approved site plans need to be presented for special permit process to continue.
A certified return receipt letter to the applicant will be written by Commissioner of Planning & Development stating the action the Board is taking, the application that is being requested and that this will in no way stay any enforcement or court action.
A motion was made by Hal Henty, seconded by Allen Kovac to adjourn the Public Hearing to
July 24, 2013.
Motion Passed 5-0
