—10—

Location: Lot #1 of the Karley Subdivision, Payne Road, Farmington, N.Y. 14425 Zoning District: A-80 Agricultural Request: Site Plan approval to construct a single-family dwelling creating a buildable parcel. Marty Aman and Ryan Aman presented this application.

Marty Aman said that Ryan Aman purchased Lot #1 of the three-lot Karley Subdivision and plans to construct a single-family home with a pole barn to be constructed concur-rently. He said that the soil is sandy and that a good location for the on-site wastewater treatment system has been determined. He said that the comments in the MRB Group engineering letter were primarily technical in nature and have been addressed on the site plan. Mr. Brabant explained that several of the engineering comments referred to a nonjurisdic-tional drainage swale on the lot. Mr. Brand said that the site plan application has been determined to be a Type II Action under the State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) regulations because it involves the construction of a single-family residence and includes provisions for utilities (i.e., electric and telephone). He said that a draft SEQR resolution has been prepared for board consideration. Mr. Brand also noted that Planning Review Committee comments have been addressed by the applicant and are reflected on the site plan as presented. Mr. Brabant said that the drainage swale would be more than 100 feet from the location of the proposed single-family residence and would not jeopardize the septic system or the home’s location. Ms. Neale asked about the proposed solar arrays that are depicted on the site plan. Ryan Aman clarified that only one solar array is planned for installation on the pole barn and that the site plan would be revised to reflect this.

There were no further comments or questions from Town staff or members of the Plan-ning Board. ■ A motion was made by MR. VIETS, seconded by MR. BELLIS, that the reading of the SEQR Criteria for Determining Signficance resolution be waived. Motion carried unanimously by voice vote. The reading of the SEQR resolution was waived.

7. PRELIMINARY SITE PLAN APPLICATION PB #0603-16 Preliminary Site Plan Application Name: New Energy Works, 1180 Commercial Drive, Farmington, N.Y. 14425 Location: New Energy Works, 1180 Commercial Drive, Farmington, N.Y. 14425 Zoning District: LI Limited Industrial Request: Site Plan approval to construct a 21,576-square-foot building to be used for a warehouse and wood finishing, and a 560-square-foot two-story addition to the existing office building


—14—

Mr. Allen and Mr. Thornton presented this application.

Mr. Allen explained that due to a building collapse at the New Energy Works location in Shortsville, N.Y., the company seeks to consolidate operations at 1180 Commercial Drive, relocating the finishing work and woodworking group here. He said that the firm is growing and would use the new structure for woodworking finishing capabilities and storage of materials. He also said that a 14-foot x 20-foot two-story office area is planned as an addition to the existing office structure. Mr. Thornton explained that the new structure would be 21,576 square feet in size, would be fully sprinklered, and would be located on that portion of the parcel which is now used for outdoor storage of recycled wood timbers and barn wood, much of which would be removed from the site. He said that the structure would meet the setback requirement from their west property boundary and that a five-foot-high berm on the west side of the parcel would be retained. Mr. Thornton said that no clear cutting of vegetation is planned along the western boundary. He also explained that a shallow drainage swale would be installed and that the project would remain under the one-acre threshold and would not require a Storm Water Pol-lution Protection Plan (SWPPP), although a small green infrastructure facility is planned to direct storm-water runoff to the drainage swale. He said that most of the property drains under the northern driveway and that this drainage flow would be maintained. Mr. Thornton said that several wall pack lighting units would be installed under a canopy on the eastern and southern sides of the structure and at a loading dock, but that otherwise the external lighting would be minimal. He said a similar LED lighting fixture would be installed over the land-banked parking location. Mr. Thornton reviewed the locations of the fire hydrants and said that the existing fire and emergency vehicle access to the parcel would be maintained. He said the applicant would comply with requests from the fire department for adjustments to the emergency access points as needed. Mr. Thornton explained that the new structure would be at the same floor level as the existing structure. Mr. Allen said no change in the surrounding area of soil and stone is planned. He dis-tributed preliminary color renderings of the new structure to the Planning Board members and staff. Mr. Brand said that a draft resolution has been prepared for board consideration that this application is an Unlisted Action under the State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) regulations, and that a resolution has been prepared for board consideration approving the Preliminary Site Plan with conditions. He explained that the Ontario County Planning Board has submitted a Class 1 referral with comments.


—15—

As a follow-up to his comments at the Project Review Committee meeting of June 3, 2016, Mr. Giroux reported that he recently observed a tractor-trailer truck parked in the turnaround area on Commercial Drive. Mr. Allen said that the company is aware of this situation and will further advise truck drivers not to park there. Mr. Degear said that he was pleased that the fire hydrants would be dedicated to the Town. He said the Town prefers to avoid having private fire hydrants on properties. Mr. Morse reported that it is possible to have two separate addresses (i.e., 1180 Commer-cial Drive-A, 1180 Commercial Drive-B) which would permit the company to have two separate water meters and water billing accounts. He said that this has been reviewed by the Ontario County 911 Center and that there are no objections. Mr. Brabant said that Mr. Thornton’s responses to the MRB Group engineering letter of June 9, 2016, have been received. He noted that 32 land-banked parking spaces are shown on the site plan but that 22 land-banked parking spaces are listed on accompany-ing cover letter. He asked that the number of land-banked parking spaces be clarified. Mr. Thornton said that the materials would be revised to indicate 32 land-banked parking spaces plus 17 permanent spaces. Mr. Brabant followed-up on a comment from Mr. Hemminger at the Project Review Committee meeting of June 3, 2016, regarding the suggestion of additional landscaping to screen the structure from Route 96. Mr. Allen said that he believed that the berm and existing vegetation are adequate to provide the screening. Mr. Thornton noted that there is not much room at that corner of the property to add additional landscaping. Mr. Brabant asked if the proposed parking spaces were in compliance with the Town Code requirement of nine (9) feet in width. Mr. Thornton said that some land-banked parking spaces are shown as eight (8) feet in width per his interpretation of the Town Code that non-office and non-visitor parking spaces of eight feet in width are permitted. Mr. Morse said that he would review the code for a determination. Mr. Thornton said that the site plan could be revised to accommodate nine-foot-wide non-office and non-visitor parking spaces if required. Mr. Makin asked that the issue of the width of parking spaces be established prior to consideration of the Final Site Plan application. Mr. Brabant also noted that there is plenty of room on the parcel to accommodate nine-foot-wide parking spaces if required. Mr. Brabant said that the site plan does not cross the threshold of a one-acre disturbance for a SWPPP, but as the Commercial Drive vicinity is an industrial location and that various projects have been built over the past several years, he suggested that a green in-frastructure facility be considered and incorporated into the site plan if possible. Mr. Thornton said that a vegetative drainage swale is proposed, though not required, and he would look further into the possibility of green infrastructure facilities for this site if it makes sense for the size of the planned disturbance of under one acre.


—16—

Assistant Chief Weidenborner said that the fire department concerns are emergency vehicle access to the back portion of the structure and that there is only one water supply coming into the structure. He asked that the outdoor materials storage area be relocated to allow the required emergency vehicle ingress and egress in the event of a fire, and asked that consideration be given to an additional water source. Ms. Neale asked for clarification on the stucture’s sprinkler system and the concerns of the fire department. Assistant Chief Weidenborner said that with only one water source to the structure, a fire scene hook-up to the hydrant would reduce the water supply to the structure’s internal sprinkler system. He noted that future development proposed on the former DiPacific property may provide the opportunity to run an additional water main to the Commercial Drive area. He asked that this be pursued when future development in the area is proposed. Mr. Bellis commented on the additional water runoff from the new structure onto neigh-boring properties. Mr. Hemminger said that he understood that there may be little that can be done to im-prove the screening of the structure from Route 96, but asked if this could be reviewed. Mr. Makin said that he was pleased that New Energy Works plans to consolidate its operations in the Town of Farmington and expand here.

Location: Larsen 4-lot Subdivision, west side of Hook Road between Green Road and Martz Road Zoning District: A-80 Agricultural Request: Final Site Plan Amendment approval of driveway designs for Lots #2, #3 and #4, and relocation of the on-site fire hydrant and easements

Final Subdivision Plat approval of the Larsen–Hook Road Subdivision was approved by the Planning Board with conditions on January 21, 2015 (PB #0103-15). Final Site Plan approval of the Larsen–Hook Road Subdivision was approved by the Planning Board with conditions on January 21, 2015 (PB #0102-15). Mr. Harter presented this application.

He explained that Mr. Larsen, who lives out of state, received a variance for construction of a barn from the Zoning Board of Appeals and has requested several changes from the originally approved site plan. These include use of a common driveway, the elimination of several turns of the driveway to allow a more direct route to the home location, and relocation of a pull-over area to shorten the length of the water main by approximately 70 feet. Mr. Makin said that the purpose of the presentation this evening was provide the Plan-ning Board with an opportunity to review the amendments to the site plan and consider the approval of the amendments. Mr. Brand reported that he met with Mr. Larsen to discuss the amendments and suggest several additional modifications. Mr. Brand noted that the amendments reflect a reduced area of disturbance on the site, improved emergency vehicle access by the realignment and straightening of the driveway, and a cost savings for the Town that will come from the shortening of the length of the water main that eventually would be dedicated to the Town. Mr. Morse said that the realignment of the driveway now provides for a less than 10 percent grade and thereby improves its safety. Mr. Giroux expressed agreement with Mr. Brand and Mr. Morse that the amendments reflect an improved site plan. Mr. Degear also indicated that the amendments provide for an improved site plan and asked that field changes to the site plan be avoided. Mr. Brabant discussed the following points: 1) the previously approved drainage plan for the site has not changed; 2) the length of the water line has been shortened but would not


—22—

be realigned; and 3) the Town will observe the installation and testing of the new water line prior to accepting it for dedication. Mr. Brabant noted that various easements regarding the location of the water line have not yet been filed. Mr. Makin said that he was glad that these issues have been identified during this amendment application. Mr. Harter said that he would follow up to see that the easements are obtained and filed. Ms. Neale commented that the amended site plan is an improvement over the original plan. Mr. Hemminger asked if obtaining the required easements should be specifically listed as a condition of approval in the draft resolution. Mr. Brabant said that this point is covered in Condition #2 of the resolution which requires the applicant to provide the liber and page numbers at which the easements are filed in the Ontario County Clerk’s Office. There were no further comments or questions from Town staff or members of the Plan-ning Board.

Name: D.S.B. Engineers & Architects, P.C., 2394 Ridgeway Avenue, Rochester, N.Y. 14626 Location: Auburn Meadows Subdivision, Sections 6N and 6S Zoning District: IZ Incentive Zoning Request: Reapproval of Auburn Meadows Subdivision, Sections 6N and 6S, with amendments Mr. Baker presented this application.

He explained that although a 90-day extension of the Final Plat approval for Sections 6N and 6S of the Auburn Meadows Subdivision had been granted by the Planning Board on February 3, 2016, the final plat was not filed due to the death of Ernest Ackerman, one of the principals of A&D Real Estate Development Corporation, who handled the day-to-day business concerns of the corporation. Mr. Baker said that Anthony DiPrima, Mr. Ackerman’s partner, has been in the process of reorganizing operations since Mr. Ackerman’s passing. During the review process, Mr. Baker and Town staff have reviewed several amendments to the Final Plat for Sections 6N and 6S regarding the purchase of additional water line materials by the Town and installation by the developer. Mr. Baker said that Mr. DiPrima has agreed to these amendments. (Clerk’s note: The text of the technical amendments as discussed by Town staff with Mr. Baker and accepted by Mr. DiPrima are included in the resolution published below.) Mr. Brand also noted that Mr. Baker had previously prepared the Auburn Meadows Overall Sidewalk Plan which was adopted by the Planning Board. As a result, there are several missing links of sidewalk that the Town is obligated to install, and that those corrections also are included in this reapproval resolution. He noted that several of the missing links were due to the relocation of the sidewalks to the opposite sides of the streets off from the future water lines. Mr. Brabant said that Mr. Baker has addressed the comments included the MRB Group engineering letter of June 13, 2016. He noted that the inclusion of the hammerhead turnaround in Section 6N which is now shown on the plans requires the shifting of a driveway of a lot. Mr. Baker said that he would adjust the driveway location on the plan. Mr. Brabant also noted that the larger diameter water line would better accommodate the growth in the area and is a benefit for the Town. Ms. Neale said that she appreciated all the work and efforts that Mr. Ackerman and Mr. Baker have put forth in these projects and that she is pleased that the Auburn Meadows Subdivision is moving forward.

Mr. Makin expressed his thoughts on Mr. Ackerman’s projects within the Town and on how the Planning Board members and staff miss working with him. ■ A motion was made by MR. HEMMINGER, seconded by MR. VIETS, that the reading of the resolution be waived. Ms. Neale requested that the reading of the amendment to the resolution as discussed be read aloud. Mr. Brand dictated the text of the amendment, which was read aloud by the clerk and is included in the resolution published below. Motion carried by voice vote. The reading of the full resolution was waived. ■ A motion was made by MR. HEMMINGER, seconded by MR. BELLIS, that the fol-lowing resolution be approved:

Mr. Brand then discussed the following topics:

• Monarch Manor Subdivision: The subdivision plat maps have been filed in the Ontario County Clerk’s Office. The maps now have been sent to the county real property office which is in the process of creating tax account numbers and plot-ting the lots. A notice to the Town of completion of this work is expected next week. Construction could begin in late June or early July.

• Federal Express Distribution Facility: A walk-through has been made with the

Town engineer. The company wishes to open in July and projects a work force of more than 600 employees within a year of beginning operations in Farmington. Neighbors in the Hickory Rise Subdivision have expressed concern about the night lighting of the structure. Mr. Brand, Mr. Morse and Mr. Brabant will take light meter readings this evening (June 15, 2016) to determine if the light densi-ties are exceeding limits.


—33—

• Farmington Market Center: A traffic study is still in progress with emphasis on left-turn lanes into the market center from Route 96. The Canandaigua National Bank, which now is located on the west side of the Tops Supermarket structure, has developed a site plan for a freestanding structure on the parcel.

• Route 332 Proposed Development: Mr. Brand and Mr. Morse met with a de-

veloper who intends to purchase 14 acres on the west side of State Route 332 north of the Cobblestone Arts Center and south of the Farmington Plaza for a commercial development. He said that the developer was informed about the 12-inch water main planned for extension from the Auburn Meadows Subdivision toward State Route 332. He said that the developer may offer additional lands to the Town parallel to the Auburn Trail railroad bed that could be used for vehicle parking for those using the Auburn Trail. If this occurs, fewer parking spaces at Beaver Creek Park for users of the Auburn Trail would be required. Mr. Brand said that this project may include a commercial area on State Route 332, a fast-food outbuilding and a mini-warehouse.

• Pedestrian Bridge Crossing Over Beaver Creek: Mr. Brand reported that the

parties involved in the court case on the pedestrian bridge crossing over Beaver Creek had a court appearance on June 6, 2016. He said that the property owners on both sides of the proposed trail between Lillybrook Court and the creek (one new neighbor and one original neighbor) have argued that the easement should have been identified as a Pedestrian Easement and not as a Utility Easement on their paperwork when they purchased their lots. He reported that the judge on the case requested that the parties meet to articulate their concerns to one another and that the Town consider making an offer to each neighbor. He said the case has tentatively been scheduled for another court appearance on July 26, 2016.

Code Enforcement Officer: Mr. Morse reported that he issued a Conditional Certificate of Occupany for the Federal Express Distribution Facility to allow the movement of office furniture into the structure. He said that the public information signage is on order. Highway Superintendent: Mr. Giroux suggested that a location in the southwestern portion of the Town be con-sidered for the relocation of Fire Station No. 2, due to the increase in residential and com-mercial growth in this portion of Farmington. He said that perhaps the donation of a parcel of land could be requested as an amenity offered by a developer in a future Incen-tive Zoning application.


—34—

Town Engineer: Mr. Brabant said that MRB Group is moving forward with the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer (MS4) and Geographic Information System (GIS) programs, both of which are crucial for the Town. Planning Board Members: Ms. Neale suggested that time be allocated at a future meeting for Mr. Brabant to address the board on the implications of the MS4 program. She said that this training would pro-vide the board members with a clearer understanding of this program. Ms. Neale asked if there has been any progress on the use of the former automobile deal-ership structure on the southwest corner of Route 96 and Mertensia Road as a bakery. Mr. Brand said there has been no further contacts on the bakery proposal. Mr. Makin reminded Planning Board members to submit copies of their training certifi-cates to him. Public Comments: Mr. Bloss asked about the status of the industrial project on the southwest corner of Collett Road and Hook Road, and about projects near Babcock Lumber at 6063 Collett Road. He again expressed concern about drainage issues in the vicinity of the Sunny Acres residential housing tract. He noted that the drainage swale near Babcock Lumber is full, even with the dry weather of the past few weeks.
