Public Hearings:
06-7-3 Donald J. Gabor and Mary Ann Gabor , Zone Change Recommendation RA-100 to R-10, northeast corner of Morgan and Waterhouse Roads.
Thomas Oot, Bob Benevento and Jason Thomas of Subdivisions Inc., were present for the applicant. Donald Gabor was also present. 

The applicant is seeking a zone change for 60 acres of farmland excluding the small 5 acres parcel directly on the corner of Morgan and Waterhouse Roads. Mr. Gabor would like permission to still farm the land after the zone change. The applicant stated that they have no immediate plans to develop this property and would like to continue to farm the land. One third of the property drains to the west, the remaining property drains to State land along Route 481.There is a drain line where the wetlands are located on the property. The applicant stated that by allowing this zone change it would make it possible to access to the property to the north in the future. Sewer, water and natural gas will be available from the adjacent properties. 

Chairman Lepkowski asked if the applicant had appeared before the Town Board with regards to this zone change. Mr. Oot stated that the applicant is to appear before the Town Board Monday October 2, 2006. 

Chairman Lepkowski asked if the Town Board required a traffic report. The applicant stated that they did and that it had been submitted approximately one year ago. This report included the Gabor properties as well as adjoining properties. It allowed for maximum build out. The Town has requested a traffic study from Onondaga County Department of Transportation. At this time the applicant stated that they are waiting for the results from that report. The applicant stated that he did not see what that study had to do with the zone change request. Mr. Oot stated that he would forward copies of the original Traffic Study to the Planning Board members.

Mr. Oot stated that there would be some buffers to the rear of the property to separate the industrial zone from the proposed residential. He also explained that there would be covenants with the deeds that explained that the property to the south is zoned industrial. Mr. Oot stated that the Realtors would have to reveal to potential homeowners that this covenant exists and that property is industrial.

Chairman Lepkowski asked how many units would be built. Mr. Oot stated that the parcel to the north would be approximately 60 units and that they would be in the range of over a half acre to two thirds of an acre per lot. 

Chairman Lepkowski asked if anyone on the Board had any questions.

Bruce Johnson stated his concerns with the covenant and the industrial zoned properties. Mr. Johnson then suggested perhaps building town homes along the south boundary on Waterhouse Road. Mr. Oot stated that in an earlier plan he had shown town houses to transition between the two zones. He stated that he would not be opposed to that. In addition the town house project would allow the creation of a homeowners association. 

Karen Guinup asked if they were to build town houses what that would do to the total. Mr. Oot stated that he could still not exceed the maximum density. Scott Chatfield stated that the R-10 does not allow town houses and that the applicant would need to seek a series of variances. Mary Moskowitz suggested that they split zone it. Chairman Lepkowski stated that there were others on the board that are not opposed to single family homes. 

Mr. Oot asked about apartments. Scott Chatfield stated that any attached structures, even with clustering, would not be acceptable because it would circumvent the town house zone. 

Mr. Oot again stated that Mr. Gabor still wishes to farm this land and no development is planned at this time. Mr. Gabor stated that he wants to work with the board. Mary Moskowitz stated that Mr. Gabor could still farm the land as a legal nonconforming use. 


Chairman Lepkowski asked if anyone in the audience had any questions, hearing none, he closed the public hearing and stated the Planning Board would make a recommendation at a later date. 

06-8-1 Group One Development, LLC (3) Preliminary Plat - off Caughdenoy Road, north of Justin Drive
Hal Romans, surveyor was present for the applicant. 

The applicant wishes to expand the Country Meadows subdivision. The applicant stated that he is leaving space for future development. 

8:12 pm Mr. Johnson excused himself from the bench.

There was a discussion regarding drainage and sanitary sewers. 

8:15 pm Mr. Johnson returned.

Chairman Lepkowski stated that the Onondaga County Planning Board is recommending some modifications, such as a traffic study to submit to the Onondaga County DOT and a drainage study be done. The applicant stated that a preliminary drainage study by LJR, indicated that there would be no additional water going to Caughdenoy Road.

Chairman Lepkowski stated that the applicant needs to contact Duane Coughenour, Address Management, at the Onondaga County Planning Agency to list proposed subdivision and street names. Mr. Romans stated that at this point there are no street names. 

There was a lengthy discussion regarding access and stub streets. The property to the north currently has a large residential structure on it. The applicant stated that perhaps an access road would be a possibility. He stated that he would speak to the owner of the ‘mansion’ to the north.

John Russo from Group One Development had discussed with Jim Stelter, County DOT, the secondary egress out of Country Meadow. The road is located on the curve because that is the highest point. Mr. Russo stated that he feels that the traffic flow will improve with the second egress. The applicant will provide a letter from Mr. Stelter. 

Chairman Lepkowski stated that a traffic study would determine levels of service and show if a new road would be better or worse. Allen Kovac stated that he would be interested in seeing a study of the new intersection. Chairman Lepkowski stated that there was a need for a baseline study for future development. Bruce Johnson stated that he did not see a need for the traffic study. Mr. Russo asked the Chairman if it would make a difference if he had a letter from Jim Stelter stating that this project would have no negative impact. Chairman Lepkowski stated that the applicant could provide a letter from the Onondaga DOT indicating that they do not feel that the traffic study is necessary instead of a traffic study. Mr. Russo stated that he believes he does have such a letter that he received during the zone change process. 

Chairman Lepkowski asked what other board members felt as far as doing a traffic study. John Dougherty stated that if a traffic study is done that it would be based on some uncertain assumptions therefore making the traffic study invalid or less useful. Chairman Lepkowski stated that the study could be done limiting the areas included. Casey Jordan stated that he agreed with Mr. Dougherty, that a traffic study would not be of great value. Chairman Lepkowski asked what the other board members felt. The applicant stated that they would also like to know what each member felt in regards to a traffic study.
Chairman Lepkowski stated that a straw poll would be taken whether a traffic study should be requested.
Casey Jordan - No
Karen Guinup -No
Bruce Johnson -No 
Walter Lepkowski -Yes
Allen Kovac -No 
John Dougherty -No
Jim Sharpe -No

Chairman Lepkowski stated that the applicant should provide that letter from the County DOT.

Ron DeTota asked about the wooded lot to the north. Mr. DeTota shared his concerns about the lack of drainage to the north thereby allowing the water to pool onto the Berry property. He stated that he would review this with the highway superintendent. Mr. Detota also suggested that perhaps the property owner would agree to an easement to the north for drainage. The applicant stated he would look into this.

Chairman Lepkowski asked if there were anymore questions.

Karen Guinup requested more information on the structure. Mr. Romans stated that he did not have that information at this time.

John Dougherty also asked if the proposed building would be consistent in style with the existing structure. Mr. Romans stated that he would try to obtain more information.

Catherine Johnson of COR Development, Andrew Hart of Bergmann Associates, Amy Dake of SRF Associates and Carlie Hanson of QPK Design were present for the applicant.

Ms. Johnson, stated that she would like to address all three items at this time. The Chairman opened all three public hearings.

Ms. Johnson stated that they are seeking recommendations from the Planning Board and working with the Town Board. They are currently working through the SEQR process. Ms. Johnson stated that the Town Board has approved the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) and have extended to comment time until October 2, 2006. In addition FRA Engineers, the Town’s traffic consultant has received a copy of the environmental impact study. 

Ms. Johnson presented an overview of the improvements that they have made. The zoning request changes 40 acres from commercial to apartment and the zoning of the 35 acres parcel from RA-100 and RC-1 to Apartment. 

The property to the south of the proposed RC-1 zoned would be used for retention and wetlands mitigation it is currently zoned apartment but the applicant would work with the board and zone it RA - 100 or make it a forever wild area. 

Amy Drake presented a study showing, if a zone change were approved how it would affect the Route 31 corridor.

Andy Hart showed that the access to the site would be from Dell Center Drive. Mr. Hart indicated that there would be considerable landscaping to be used as a barrier between the school and the proposed construction. Mr. Hart also presented an alternative plan for the proposed Lowes incorporating an additional 100 feet of driveway. This site would also satisfy the drainage requirements as well as green space buffers. The applicant stated that they are trying to place the restaurant as far away from the school as possible.

Carlie Hanson discussed the proposed home improvement store. Ms. Hanson stated that the building would be constructed of different colored masonry bricks in dark brown, red and tan. In addition there would be light and dark stucco with red and blue accents. 

John Dougherty asked if this structure would be the same prototype as the other Lowes Home Improvement stores in the area. The applicant stated that this store would be lower in height, with a solid base and the fencing would be constructed of a tubular steel instead of the chainlink. 

Chairman Lepkowski asked if this store would be the same size as the store in Cicero. The applicant stated that this building was more consistent with the newer building in Camillus.

Amy Drake discussed the traffic for the proposed project. There was a very lengthy discussion regarding the traffic on Route 31, Dell Center Drive and other access roads.

Bruce Johnson suggested that perhaps Lowes could be built on the north side and the apartments could be built on the south side of this property. Casey Jordan agreed that this would provide safer crossing for school children living in the proposed apartments. Kate Johnson stated that this proposal had been brought up to the school in a meeting and was rejected for a number of reasons. Ms. Johnson also stated that all of the children are bussed to this school.

Mr. Johnson felt that it would be better for the town for Lowes to be built on the north side of Route 31 (the same side as Home Depot).

There was also a discussion about access roads and walking paths to alleviate some of the traffic concerns on Route 31. 

Chairman Lepkowski stated at this time that the board should focus on the environmental impact
statements. He then asked for each members comments on this project. Chairman Lepkowski stated that they would make a formal resolution for the Town Board to consider with regards to the environment Impact statement and will adopt by a vote the resolution:

TOWN OF CLAY PLANNING BOARD
COMMENTS ON THE DEIS FOR 
COR LASER DRIVE COMPANY, LLC AND
NAPOLITANO ROUTE 31 COMPANY, LLC

The Town of Clay Planning Board members have received and reviewed the DEIS relating to the zone change applications submitted by COR Laser Drive Company, LLC (“Clay North”) and Napolitano Route 31 Company, LLC (“Clay South”) and on September 27th, 2006 discussed the DEIS with the Applicant. The Planning Board wishes to provide to the Town Board the following comments of the individual Planning Board members:

1. A connection between Dell Center Drive and Verplank Road should be considered as potential mitigation for the proposed Clay North zone change to Apartments, as a way to mitigate traffic impacts to NYS Route 31.

2. An east-west roadway connection between the COR Shopping Center and the adjoining properties to the west (Amedore and Wal*Mart) should be considered as mitigation for the Clay North proposed zone change, as a way to minimize traffic impacts to NYS Route 31.

3. The impacts that the Clay North apartments may have on Dell Center Drive should be evaluated to determine if further mitigation is necessary.

4. It should be considered whether there is a benefit to having both Lowe’s and Home Depot on the same side of NYS Route 31 rather than locating Lowe’s on the south side of NYS Route 31.

5. The potential impacts of the Clay North zone change to the Level of Service at the intersection of Dell Center Drive and the COR Shopping Center should be evaluated.

6. The potential impacts of the Clay North zone change to the Level of Service at the intersection of Dell Center Drive and the Wal*Mart service road should be evaluated.

7. The Town should consider the possibility of accepting land alongside either the east or west side of the Rail Road tracks, near the Clay North apartments, for future development of a rail station and accompanying parking.

8. The Town Board should consider including pedestrian and vehicular access between the proposed apartments on the north side of Route 31 and the COR Shopping Center. 

9. The DEIS Alternative Site Plan is preferred over the Original Site Plan. 

Chairman Lepkowski stated that this was an open Public Hearing and asked if there were any questions from the audience.

Russ Mitchell stated that he has changed his stance on this project. He had originally sided with the school and found them to be unreasonable and not forthcoming with the reasons that they do not want apartments. Mr. Mitchell stated that he was now in favor of this project.

A motion was made by Casey Jordan, seconded by Jim Sharpe to adjourn all three Public Hearings until October 25, 2005.

Motion Passed 7-0

Greg Sgromo of Dunn and Sgromo Engineers and John Murphy of AJM Management were present for the applicant. 

John Murphy stated that he had met with Ron Detota and that he is confident that they have addressed all of the requirements for preliminary plat approval. Mr. Detota stated that the only 
item left to be addressed is the access of ingress and egress on the site map. 

Chairman Lepkowski then asked Mr. Chatfield if he had any comments. Mr. Chatfield stated that the plan could be approved with a notation regarding the curb cuts. Chairman Lepkowski asked if the applicant could build a roadway. Mr. Chatfield stated that the applicant could build it and people would start driving on it however the road could not be dedicated to the town at this time. 

Mr. Chatfield asked about closing the existing road. Mr. Murphy stated that the existing road would be closed simultaneously as the opening of the new road.

Ron Detota stated that with the construction of the road the existing drainage easements need to be abandoned. In addition the pond needs to be filled in.

A Motion made by John Dougherty, seconded by Casey Jordan to adopt a resolution using a standard form #10 that the Preliminary Plat proposed by AJM Management be declared a negative declaration as there appears to be no traffic, drainage or environmental impact which could not be mitigated and does not involve any other agencies including the Federal Government.

Greg Sgromo stated that option 2 and 3 are difficult for 18 wheelers to get in or to go to the drive-in service . He also stated that a fire truck should be able to get around the building easily with options 1 or 4 and probably with option 2.

Ron Detota suggested that there could be no curb cut on the Franciscan Drive.

Casey Jordan left the bench at 12:20 am.

Chairman Lepkowski stated that the Town would decide where the stop signs would go. Mr. Murphy stated that the lack of stop signs may make the traffic flow better.

Casey Jordan returned at 12:22 am.

Mr. Murphy stated that he would consider bonding for the public utilities. Mr. Chatfield stated that there needs to be a formal abandonment of the drainage and sewerage easements. There was a discussion about abandoning the pond and the easements.

Chairman Lepkowski asked about the light poles in the drive. Mr. Chatfield stated that for the light poles to be there that the applicant must set up a lighting district. Mr. Sgromo he would not construct the light poles until the lighting district is established. 

Chairman Lepkowski suggested that the board choose an option for driveway location. Allen Kovac asked which option did not have an entrance from Franciscan Drive. Mr. Murphy stated this was not an option and that would not be acceptable. Karen Guinup stated that perhaps option 3 would be her choice. Mr. Kovac agreed that would be acceptable. Chairman Lepkowski stated that he prefers option 5, no access on Franciscan Drive. Mr. Kovac agreed that he would prefer option 5. John Dougherty prefers option 4 or option 5 is good, but has concerns about the access for the 18wheelers or fire trucks. Jim Sharpe prefers option 3. Bruce Johnson stated that he is still against this project however he would prefer option 5. Casey Jordan prefers option 3. Chairman Lepkowski stated that there is a consensus for Option 5. John Murphy pleaded with the board to approve option 3. Chairman Lepkowski stated that option 5 is a plan that the Board agreed upon. 

Mr. Murphy asked if they could vote on Option 5. Mr. Chatfield stated that they could under rare circumstances grant Site Plan approval without the Final Plat approval.

A motion was made by Bruce Johnson, seconded by Karen Guinup to not grant Site Plan approval without Final Plat approval.
