2009-10-1 Upstate New York District Church of the Nazarene (3), Amended Site Plan – 5367 NYS Route 31
Chairman Lepkowski opened the public hearing. Teresa Lutoborski, of Group One Design,
was present for the applicant. Ms. Lutoborski began by explaining the plan. The applicant would like to renovate the existing building; they would like to make the front and back entrances handicap accessible, and pave the front parking lot as well as the entry ways. They also want to raise the grade in front approximately 3 feet, and add an elevator for handicap accessibility.
David Balcer, Town Planner, stated that the elevator looks like you have to go up or down stairs to get to the elevator. Sheila Weed, Architect with Group One Design, explained the elevator is on the main level; you would enter the elevator and go up or down. The Chairman wanted to clarify how you would access the elevator; you would enter the building through the front door, the elevator is in the foyer, you can enter the elevator and go up or down.
Hal Henty asked if there will be handicap parking in the rear of the building; Ms. Lutoborski said not as part of phase one. The rear parking lot will be constructed of stone.
Chairman Lepkowski said the Fire Marshall made a comment concerning the site’s exit.Currently it measures 16ft; the exit drive will need to be widened to 20ft to accommodate emergency vehicles.
Chairman Lepkwoski addressed the County Planning Board’s comment on storm water run off.
The Chairman asked Ron DeTota if the town engineers could help the applicant with addressing the Countys concerns . Ron Detota stated that this project will not have an adverse effect on the drainage; therefore we have addressed the County comment.
Chairman Lepkowski addressed the NYS DOT letter, if the applicant would not be making any curb cuts, they would not need any work permits. The Chairman also said the State looked at a map that was not stamped or signed by a professional.
Chairman Lepkowski said the applicant will have to show on the plan; the silt fence, clarify the elevator in reference to the entrance, change the west exit width from 16ft to 20 ft and check with the County to ensure the leach field is where it is marked on the map.
The Chairman adjourned the public hearing. A motion was made by Hal Henty seconded by Allen Kovac to adjourn the public hearing to November 18, 2009.
Motion Passed 5-0

Chairman Lepkowski opened the public hearing. Mr Bauer, the applicant, explained there is still one area that needs to be enclosed, that is why they still have chain link fence with barbed wire. Chairman Lepkowski asked when the applicant planned on starting the plantings. The applicant said he was waiting to hear from his landscaper. Russ Mitchell said he would like him
to wait until spring for the plantings. David Balcer said with the type of trees they will be putting in it would be best to plant in the fall when the trees are dormant.
Janet Rathbun, a resident, asked what type of fence will be used. Mr. Bauer said the fence will be constructed of 1x6 pressure treated wood; the top will be dog eared. Chairman Lepkowski asked Mr. Bauer if the fence will be stained. He answered yes, clear stain.
