2009-1-6 Gary Bell (3) Site Plan, 7422 Oswego Road (Adjourned from 2 previous meetings)
Gary Bell was present to address the Board. Mr. Bell presented updated drawings to the Board Members. Mr. Bell showed on the plan, the location of the dumpsters and he explained that he would enclose them with chain link fencing and plastic weaving. Mr. Bell also added a planter box on the south side in front of the office window.
The number of light poles has been reduced to meet the zoning requirements Mr. Bell also attached photo copies of the proposed light fixtures.
The discussion turned to the drainage problem, Mr. Bell explained he had been in contact with the Town Engineers and he made some modifications. Ron DeTota stated that he received the modifications however did not have enough time to go over them completely therefore could not finalize them.
There was some discussion on the curb cut for the entrance. Ron DeTota made the observation
that the curb cut from the County does not match the curb cut on the plan.
Mr. Bell explained that the delivery trucks will be driving over the curb, or will be hitting the curb because the turn is to sharp. Mr. Bell asked if he could use striping rather than curbing.
Chairman Lepkowski said there needs to be curbing, striping will not be sufficient,
the Chairman recommended the applicant work with the County to come up with a usable
plan. The County has to ok the curb cut before the Board can approve.
John Dougherty said the dumpster enclosure should be made out of the same material as the building. Karen Guinup said the chain link and plastic weaving deteriorate too quickly and it seldom is repaired. Mr. Bell asked the Board if cedar fencing would be acceptable.
Chairman Lepkowski said he would really like to see a block enclosure. Mr. Bell asked if cinder block with metal facing would be acceptable, and if they rectify the dumpster enclosure issue will that eliminate the need for additional plantings. Allen Kovac asked if he would be putting a landscape strip behind the building. Mr. Bell said that they will use what is currently there.
Karen Guinup asked about the sign. The Chairman said the Board will approve location only,
the Planning and Development Department have a separate application process for all signs.
There was some talk of the location of the sign, Mr. Bell said he will move the sign pole further away from the property line.
