The Chair called the meeting to order. The Pledge of Allegiance was recited and roll was called.
Agenda Item 1: Minutes of November 7, 2007.
Chair asks for a motion to approve the minutes of November 7, 2007. Motion made by Anthony Bartolotta, seconded by Mark DiVietro. All members vote approval. Motion carried.
Agenda Item 2: P Application for Major Site Plan Review~ of a revised Site Plan for the construction of an approximately 3800 SF~medical/dental office, parking for approximately 27 cars, stormwater management,~and associated site improvements located at 200 McIntosh Drive.~Applicant: Dr. David Nangle.
Steve Selvek – as background, this application started with ZBA approval for a use variance to build four medical/dental offices. There had been some concern at the scope of the variance. A negative declaration on SEQR was issued for Phase I of the project, which was a single building. The plans have been revised since then.
David Nangle – the original plans fell through as I realized I could not do the development as I desired. I have limited the plan to a single building and have downsized that also removing the portico and other items I feel unnecessary at this time. The building is also rotated slightly to face McIntosh Dr. ten feet from originally planned. Everything else is the same.
Chair invites the public to comment. There being none closes the public hearing and asks the Board for comments.
John Breanick – thinks it is a good use for the property and will be an asset to the neighborhood.
Steve Selvek – this project began about 1 year ago. This Board was designated as the lead agency before the original approval and issued a negative declaration on SEQR. Since the plans have been revised DEC has been notified for any input and they have until the middle of December to respond. At the January meeting we can reaffirm the negative declaration and move to site plan resolution. Staff has asked that site lighting and sign be addressed and to have all pertinent details on the site plan.
John Breanick makes a motion to table until January meeting, seconded by Mark DiVietro. All members vote approval. Motion carried.
