Chairman Lepkowski opened the public hearing. Hal Romans of Ianuzi & Romans Land Surveying was present to explain the proposal.
This property is located on Dolshire and Buckley Rd., but is not part of the Red Barn property. This is a vacant site and all existing buildings have been removed. The applicant is proposing a 7,000 square foot, 1-story office building that will be residential in character.
There would be removal of 2 driveways on Buckley Road with traffic exiting onto Dolshire. Parking that is planned will meet the code. Storm water is currently being worked on by W-M Engineering, and an infiltration system is being proposed. This lot is less than 1 acre (.99 acre) but may still require the preparation of a SWPPP as will be determined by the Town Engineer. Green Infrastructure techniques will be utilized as required.

2 This building is planned for medical use. 46 parking spaces are shown on the plan, and 42 spaces are required per code. A stockade fence is also shown on the plan. Trash is to be stored inside the building. The building will be owned by one doctor. There will be at least one tenant.
Landscaping and pervious pavement will be utilized in the rear of the property, and asphalt in the front. If needed, an underground infiltration system will be implemented. Kim Patterson of C & S Engineers discussed the removal of 2 driveways, which may bring the disturbed area to over 1 acre, triggering a full SWPPP.
There will be one light pole and 3 attached light fixtures to illuminate the property. Small trees will be planted along Buckley Road, and shrubs to be used along stockade fence. The fire plans need to be reviewed and possibly adjusted. The County Planning Board has requested that the Town grant an extension to the end of November before any decisions are made so that a coordinated review may take place.
David Hess stated that power will come from Buckley Rd., and not Dolshire as shown on the plan.
A motion was made by Allen Kovac, seconded by Russ Mitchell to adjourn the Public Hearing

Chairman Lepkowski opened the public hearing. Glenn Harvey of Bergman Associates was

Glenn asked if the Board is asking for a letter from DOT, and Kelly stated that the DOT does not have a permit to issue for this proposal, so she wants to know Regular Meeting Planning Board November 9, 2011
3 specifically what this Board wants from the DOT. Walt stated that we would want the data from the updated traffic study submitted, so that our traffic engineer can review it.

The Chairman stated that the Board will hold off on any SEQR discussions at this time.
