06-4-2 Steven Geiger, Zone Change Recommendation RA-100 to NC-1, northeast corner of Morgan Road and Waterhouse Roads.
Robert Ventre, Esq., presented on behalf of the applicant Mr. Geiger.
The applicant would like to change the zoning of this parcel of land from RA-100 to NC-1 for commercial use. This small neighborhood commercial area could be well utilized by the residents in the developing residential area. The applicant has no particular tenant in mind. The area would possibly need a small convenience store, such as a Wilson Farm, a bank, credit union, or drug store. The property size is five acres and has room for freestanding buildings. A traffic analysis has not been done yet.
Chairman Lepkowski asked if any members of the Planning Board had any questions or concerns. Mr. Johnson said that the plaza on Bear and Buckley Sugarwood Plaza is a nice and neat shopping center and with about the same area as this parcel. He feels there will be a need for a pizza shop, bank, or drug store similar to the Sugarwood Plaza in this area too. He commented that he would not like to see an entrance off of Morgan Road, and something would have to be done to upgrade Waterhouse Road.
Chairman Lepkowski asked if the applicant is willing to pay for any road upgrades to Waterhouse Road. Mr. Ventre said he would ask Mr. Geiger, the applicant. Mr. Ventre stated that he feels that road improvements are also part of the planning process and that other developers in that area should also contribute with road upgrades.
Chairman Lepkowski asked if there were any questions or concerns from the public.
Mr. Russ Mitchell said that by putting at least 1,000 more homes in the area that Morgan Road will probably become a four-lane road. Other developers want to put homes across from Fairways East with the entrance on the northeast corner of the property onto Waterhouse. There are three developers that have a vested interest in the Morgan Road and Waterhouse Road corner. Mr. Mitchell said that possibly the three developers could get together to make the road improvements on Waterhouse Road that need to be done. He also said he would like to see this project landscaped with trees.
Chairman Lepkowski asked if Mr. Ventre had reviewed the Onondaga County Planning Board comments yet. The Chairman presented the Onondaga County Planning Board’s comments. The County said the project would have no significant adverse intercommunity or countywide implications and offered some comments if the zone change occurs.
Chairman Lepkowski closed the public hearing and advised the applicant that the Planning Board will make a recommendation to the Town Board a at later time.
