Chairman Hess opened the public hearing. Hal Romans was present to explain the proposal. Mr. Romans explained their plans include using R-15 with clustering.
Trafficstudy requested by State DOT with letter. New York State received letter. Sanitary Sewer or Pump Station as required will be built full size for full capacity of development. Sewage station would be going to Henry Clay sub station Newberry Woods. Record Karen Guinip looked at letter and expressed a safety concern at intersection of Grange Road and Rt. 31. Mike Bragman, developer states that the State does not have authority to make choices on County Roads. Developer to provide analysis. Maple and Grange County roads no impact, but State Route 31 will be impacted. Cannot impose conditions on developer until issue of zone changes state imposed conditions on traffic on State Route 31.
Closed Public Hearing.
A motion was made by Russ Mitchell, seconded by Hal Henty to make a recommendation to the
Town Board using standard form # 50 for case #2012-047 Eaglewood Associates, Inc., Zone Change from RA-100 to R-15 with clustering located at 4834 Grange Rd., to grant the Zone Change. We feel it is compatible, will have no significant impact on traffic, no environmental impact and requires no other permit-granting agency including the Federal Government.
Walt Lepkowski felt it was premature to make a recommendation as the Planning Board just received the traffic study and more information may come from the next Town Board meeting. After “Motion Passed 6-1 Against” it should state (Walt Lepkowski indicated he could not vote in favor of the recommendation not having the opportunity to review the traffic study and felt the County recommendations were worthy of further thought) Motion Passed 6-0
