Chairman Hess opened the public hearing. Hal Romans, of Ianuzi and Romans was present to explain the proposal. Mr. Romans began by describing the overflow parking lot on a parcel adjacent to the Salvation Army property in the Town of Clay. An e-mail was received from Patti Bush, of State DOT stating what they would require as part of the existing site plan. The driveway meets DOT standards. They have no issues with drainage.

2 This parcel was a former LuC-1 gas station site, and the entire site is asphalt. The ZBA has approved the setback variances. Mr. Romans stated that the overflow parking lot will help clean up the parcel and increase the available parking by 14 spaces. There will be no change to grading, and the fuel tanks are gone. They would like to maintain this site as a parking lot, and this proposal removes some of the existing blacktop and provides some green space.
There was a discussion about the possibility of chaining off usage of the parking lot, and if there is really a need to use that entrance? Mr. Romans stated that they do not want to lose the curb cut, and he also feels that blocking it with a temporary-type barrier would not be a good idea either. James Palumbo asked if additional parking is added, would they meet handicapped regulations? Hal stated that the site currently meets the regulations, so they would be compliant.
Kim Patterson stated that she would like a note on the Site Plan about the sanitary clean out should be plugged.
A motion was made by James Palumbo and seconded Hal Henty to close the public hearing.
A motion was made by Russ Mitchell, seconded by Allen Kovac to adopt a resolution using
standard form # 10, SEQR determination for Case # 2012-047 Salvation Army, Site Plan Approval, located at 3908 Brewerton Rd., be declared an unlisted action and a negative declaration as it appears to have no environmental impact which can not be mitigated and does not involve any other permit granting agencies, including the Federal Government. This project will contribute to growth and community character, and no potential impacts concerning air quality or odor.

**7:40 P.M. 2012-049 - King of Kings – Site Plan – 8278 Oswego Road
Chairman Hess opened the public hearing. Ken Margrey, member of King of Kings Church was
present to explain the proposal. Mr. Margrey began by describing their plans of building a
pavilion and they would like to go forward with this project. Under the current code provisions they are short 8 parking spaces. The pavilion would be built in 2 phases, the concrete slab and foundation would be built this year while the remainder of project to be completed by 2015.
The Board has asked for site plan to include the parking spaces to meet current code regulations. Grading of previous parking lot showing where water is going to be stored. The parking lot must be paved, as gravel/stone would create a bigger mess. Before the project can move forward the Site Plan must be updated. Site plan needs professional design. Survey should show accessible parking spaces and circulation. Jim Palumbo feels that the Site Plan should be updated by a design professional, with striping and handicapped parking spaces shown on the plan.

**2011-041 Elaina Pirro-7176 Buckley Road LLC
Clarification of previous approval.
A motion was made by Hal Henty and seconded by Karen Guinup to add this item to the agenda.
Motion passed 6-0
Hal Romans and Elaina Pirro were present to present the proposal. The applicant either needs security in place or to actually pave the road to the property line. Engineering was not under the assumption that this is paved. The grading will need to be looked at to make sure it still works as intended. The Board stated that it would be cleaner and cheaper to be done now, rather than provide a security or letter of credit. They should go with resolution of the site plan approval that shows the pavement to property line. Amended site plan is appropriate as shown and note needs to be modified.
Driveway to be extended presently and driveway utilized upon execution.
New wording on site plan, to require immediate worksites as match to original resolution.
