2. Dr. Nancy Cappiello – Cappiello Chiropractic Site Plan Review
562 Saratoga Road Combined Preliminary and
Final (Public Hearing)
This proposal involves a 31’ by 10’ addition along the north side of the existing office building. The property is located on the northeast corner of Route 50 and Kile Drive, and it is zoned Professional/Residential.
Nancy Cappiello was present to address the Commission regarding her application. She said the addition would make patient access better and eliminating the sidewalk and steps would help control skateboarding problems that occur on her property.
T. Bodden opened the hearing to the public. With no one wishing to speak, the public hearing was then closed.
P. Borisenko said the application was straightforward and he has no issues with the proposal.
P. Huff asked about the expansion of the building behind the office and Dr. Cappiello stated that the building was finished inside, but no expansion took place.
K. Corcoran noted that there would be no additional demand on parking.
S. Marsh asked that final site plans submitted for signatures be in black print for copying purposes.

Concept Subdivision
1. Leonard Attanasio Conceptual 6-lot
40 St. Anthony Lane Subdivision
The applicant is proposing to subdivide the Woodlin Club property into six single-family home lots. The property is located off the northern terminus of St. Anthony Lane.
Mr. Attanasio explained that he had submitted a concept for a 4-lot subdivision and the Commission has questioned what would happen with the rest of the property. He has come back with a 6-lot subdivision. He stated there would be a trail for public access to the Indian Kill, but as this is just a concept, no details are shown. He then provided a new map showing a larger cul-de-sac and seven lots.
Discussion followed on the sequencing of building, demolition of the Woodlin Club, and possible phasing of construction. T. Bodden noted this could be a ‘nightmare’ for the assessor. P. Borisenko said that he and Engineering Tech Dana Gilgore have been pushing to change the road ordinance to see all infrastructure and stormwater completed before any building permits are issued. This would help prevent any projects being partially completed and then abandoned.
K. Corcoran reminded the Commission that the Woodlin Club is presently a non-conforming use.
S. Marsh voiced concern regarding the Club becoming an ‘attractive nuisance’; he suggested selecting a definite date for building demolition and pool removal as part of the plan.
T. Bodden said the Commission would probably agree that they would prefer that everything is done at once, especially because of the non-conforming use issue.
With no further items on the agenda, the meeting was adjourned at 7:50 p.m. The next meeting of the Town of Glenville Planning and Zoning Commission is to be held on Monday, July 13, 2009. The agenda meeting will be held on Monday, July 6, 2009.
