(10 parcels of land) from One-Family Residential (R-1) District, Residential Office (R-6)
District and Office and Retail Store (C-2) District to Shopping Center (C-5) District on
properties located at 7281, 7275, 7265, 7271+, 7261 and 7251 Buckley Road (Tax Map
Nos. 107.-12-29.0, 31.1, 32.1, part of 32.2, 33.1, 34.1 and 34.2,respectively), , and 5121,
5119, 5115 and 5113 West Taft Road (Tax Map Nos. 107.-12-37, 38, 39, 40.1,
respectively) consisting of 11.35 acres, more or less, and from Residential (R-1 District to

107.-12-32.2; 9.50, more or less, acres) was opened by the Supervisor. Proof of publication
and posting was furnished by the Town Clerk.
Robert Ventre, the Attorney representing the applicant, explained that Mr. Hafner would like
to centralize his operation. Presently his retail business is on the northeastern corner of West
Taft Road and Buckley Road and other products on the northwestern corner. Transporting
products across Buckley is inconvenient and dangerous. He would like to construct a large
building on the northwestern side, move the present operation over to that side and demolish
the existing buildings on the northeastern site. They anticipate the Onondaga County Planning
Board requesting closure of the curb cut on the northeastern side of Buckley Road, which is
close to its intersection with Taft Road. The four houses on Taft Road would be removed. The
requested A-1 will be used to grow their stock for retail sales. Mr. Hafner would like to leave
50 to 75 feet of buffer, mostly trees, around the perimeter of the A-1 parcel, plus some interior
trees will be left. He will not have any corn poppers. There will be two entrances , one on Taft
Road with a right out only, and one on Buckley Road, that would allow right and left turns.
The old location which is to be razed, could support three C-2's, which are low intense use.
Supervisor Rupprecht noted that this zone change is a Type I (SEQR) action.
Traffic and drainage reports have been presented to the Board.
Councilor Palmer stated that he is afraid of a C-5 option for the future and asked if the applicant
would be willing to covenant that none of the other uses would apply. Attorney Ventre said
a covenant could be given.
A 100,000 square foot building would be a full build out, but Mr. Hafner expects it will be
85,000 square feet. He plans on cutting the produce side of his business, and may possibly cut
the ice cream stand out also.
Maria Romeo of Roseanne Drive, said she didn’t want access through their street and wants the
trees left that screen her house from Taft Road.
Other residents raised concerns over drainage, buffers, traffic flow, noise , pollution, flooding,
and curb cuts. Supervisor Rupprecht explained that curb cuts are determined by the Onondaga
County Department of Transportation.
Yvonne Fuller said she was concerned with creeping commercial zoning.
Supervisor Rupprecht asked if there were any further comments or questions and there were
none.
Councilor Bray moved the adoption of a resolution adjourning the public hearing to
September 8, 2004, to commence at 7:35 P.M. local time. Motion was seconded by
Councilor Ulatowski.
Ayes-6 and Noes-0. Carried.

Zone change (PH-ADJ) - Town Board Case #904 - KELLY-TOBIN
DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION:
A public hearing to consider the application of KELLY-TOBIN DEVELOPMENT
CORPORATION for a change of zone from One-Family Residential (R-2) District and
Agricultural (A-1) District to Shopping Center (C-5) District on property, consisting of
10.8 acres, located at the southwest corner of New York State Route 31 and Lawton Road,
including a portion of Crabtree Lane for commercial purposes, (part of Tax Map No. 077.-01-
01.1 and all of 077.-01-01.2) was opened by the Supervisor. Proof of publication and posting
was furnished by the Town Clerk.
Hal Romans, the architect representing the applicant, said the parcel in question is near the
intersection of Route 31, Crabtree Lane and Lawton Road. They feel this ten acre site is
inappropriate for a residential zone. They plan on extending Lawton Road to Route 31 where
it will meet with Legionaire Drive. Only about six acres of the parcel can be used for a
commercial building; the other portion is wetlands.
Councilor Rowley asked what the full build out could be and it could be a 80,000 square foot
building.
Fred Smith, who lives on Lawton Road, said he was concerned with infrastructure and the
traffic on Lawton Road. With the housing that is being constructed, traffic will increase. Also,
Lawton Road has a lot of dips and is only two lanes.
Don Rapp, also a resident of Lawton Road, voiced concerns about drainage, and water going
into his basement. His wife asked why such heavy commercial zoning and also voiced concern
about traffic.
Supervisor Rupprecht said that he and Councilor Bray will be meeting with the Cicero
Supervisor and Planning people; they will talk to them about Lawton Road.
Councilor Palmer asked if the applicant would cut down the size of the parcel to the six usable
acres. He feels the C-5 is too broad for the ten acres. He wants it reduced or he won’t agree
to a C-5. He feels a C-5 should be on a larger parcel.
Supervisor Rupprecht noted some of the modifications the Onondaga County Planning Board
recommends should the zone change be approved.
Councilor Rowley said he would like to see the delineation of wetlands, a traffic report
regarding Lawton Road and State Route 31 and a drainage report, before the continuation of
this hearing in September.
Supervisor Rupprecht asked if there were any further comments or questions and there were
none.
Councilor Bray moved the adoption of a resolution adjourning the public hearing to
September 8, 2004, to commence at 7:38 P.M. local time. Motion was seconded by
Councilor Palmer.
Ayes-6 and Noes-0. Carried.
