2007-10-1 Michael Marley (3) – Site Plan, 4944 VerPlank Road
Michael Marley was present.
Mr. Marley is requesting Site Plan approval to build a cold storage building on his property located at 4944 VerPlank Road. Mr. Marley stated that he had received the variance that he had requested from the Zoning Board of Appeals.
Chairman Lepkowski asked what the dimensions of the proposed structure are. The applicant stated that the new structure would be 32x52 feet.
Mr. Henty asked if the building would be lit and the applicant indicated that there would be no electricity. Mr. Marley said, “not at this time, that the building would be used for shipping and storage.” Mr. Dougherty asked about powering an overhead door. Mr. Marley stated that this was a possibility and that if this should be the case he would run off existing power.
Chairman Lepkowski asked if there would be additional parking and the applicant stated there would be. Mr. Henty asked about the trucks backing into the property from VerPlank Road. The applicant said that this is currently happening and will continue until a time when they can move the access door and ramp, to allow the trucks to turn around.
Chairman Lepkowski said that the Onondaga County Planning Board indicated that we could act solely on this. They did state however, that there were some questions regarding the surveyors seal and this needs to be corrected.
Mr. Kovac asked how many tractor-trailers would be backing on and off VerPlank Road per day. The applicant said approximately 1-2. Mr. Kovac stated that he felt this was dangerous.
Mr. Johnson said that he would like clarification that the ZBA understands this.
There was a lengthy discussion about the tractor-trailers backing out onto the road. The Planning Board would like to avoid a dangerous situation and suggested perhaps changing the configuration so that the trucks could perform a three-point turn to exit. The applicant stated that he was not aware that there was a problem with the tractor-trailers backing into the lot. The Chairman stated that anytime a tractor-trailer is backing up on a roadway, it is not a desirable situation.
Mr. Henty stated that it was presented differently to the ZBA. Dave Balcer, Town Planner agreed. It was presented that the variance granted would solve this situation. Mr. Henty expressed that the tractor trailers entering and exiting the facility present a safety hazard backing up onto VerPlank Road. Mr. Johnson inquired as to why the trucks could not circle the front of the building. Mr. Marley said that it would interfere with the leach fields. The Chairman asked about circling around the rear. The applicant said that the well and gas tanks were there and it would create other problems.
The Chairman suggested that the applicant see what modifications could be made and return before the board December 12, 2007. The Chairman also stated that this would give the board the opportunity to look at the property.
A motion was made by Allen Kovac, seconded by Hal Henty to adjourn this Public Hearing until December 12, 2007.
