Lisa Pachmayer, Executive Director of the YMCA spoke on behalf of the North Area YMCA. Ms. Pachmayer stated that the YMCA is also very concerned for the safety of their members as well as the safety of the residents in the surrounding area. She added that the Y only wishes to be good neighbors. Ms. Pachmayer continued on stating that the YMCA is aware of the parking issues associated with the 11,000 members of the North Area branch and that they have begun implementing new strategies to reduce the issues. Some of these include reducing the overlapping of classes as well as shortening some. Some programs have been moved to Baldwinsville. Staff is encouraged to park in the rear or in the furthest spots. They are also in the process of organizing a car pool system for peak programs. Ms. Pachmayer said that they share our concerns.
Kirk Narburgh, Partner with King and King Architects stated that he was a 13 year member of the Board for the YMCA. He said that there are currently 230 spaces and that there is a plan to add 66-70 more but easements, wetlands and set backs can make this difficult. Supervisor Ulatowski said that the Board welcomes the YMCA but must also recognize the needs of the residents. Councilor Edick asked if the new parking will be asphalt or crushed stone. Mr. Narburgh said that it will be asphalt as the stone would not alleviate drainage retention.
Supervisor Ulatowski asked if there were any additional questions and there were none. He stated that he would leave the public hearing open.
Councilor Edick made a motion to adjourn the public hearing to October 3, 2011
at 7:38 P.M. Motion was seconded by Councilor Bray.

Supervisor Ulatowski said that he would open both public hearings together.
Hal Romans was present on behalf of the applicant. Mr. Romans began by explaining that the applicant has obtained referrals from the Planning Board and the County Department of Transportation. The two obstacles outlined in the referral regarding drainage and traffic, have both been addressed. They have modified the drainage plan and obtained a traffic study indicating that there will not be a significant increase in traffic generated.
Supervisor Ulatowski stated that this application makes perfect sense. He added that a lot of the site needs to be cleaned up. Bill Camperlino stated that he understands and is working to clean up the area, some of the structures will be demoed and other things will be moved. Mr. Camperlino added that the Red Barn will be cleaned up until it comes down. Mr. Camperlino said that he knows that you can not sell lots with the current condition of the property.
Councilor Bick asked if the property will drain to Salina or to North Med. Mr. Romans said that the majority will flow to Salina with a small portion flowing to North Medical Center.

Denise Murray of Waxwood Circle inquired about the Red Barn building. Mr. Romans said that there are no plans for it yet. She also asked if the property across the street would be part of the zone change or construction and it will not.
