MINUTES OF PLANNING BOARD -2- 5/3/07 7 Franklindale Avenue Proposal for a two lot subdivision at – no one was present at meeting. HEART KIA, ROUTE 9 Proposal from Heart Kia to relocate Subaru dealership into space formerly occupied by Monroe Muffler and expanding the existing Kia dealership into space formerly occupied by Enterprise Rental Cars on Route 9 – Applicant pulled themselves off of the agenda. GABRIEL AND LUCY DISANTIS, 30 AND 32 HIGH STREET Next on the agenda was a discussion regarding a proposed lot line adjustment at 30 and 32 High Street. The Board reviewed the proposal for conformance to the Codes. It was determined that the lot line adjustment did not impact any of the present zoning codes. Mr. Moran made a motion to approve the lot line adjustment, seconded by Mrs. Firstenberg. Unanimously carried. Mr. Morris stated we needed to have a “blue copy” to stamp and sign for our records before we could stamp and sign the vellum. ORMATER DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Next on the agenda was the proposal from Ormater Development Corporation to discuss development of Phase 1 of Patriots Park which includes: (1) construction of a one story 12, 900 sq. ft. CVS Pharmacy and a one story 9, 170 sq. ft. commercial building on a 3.683 acre portion of its property and (2) a 3,200 sq. ft. expansion of the HSBC bank building. Mr. Kevin Patton representing CVS presented four elevations to the Board for their consideration. (All of the elevations are included in the files in the Planning and Zoning offices) Of the four elevations the Board was in unanimous agreement that they are in favor of option #4. Mr. Morris asked Mr. Patton for actual samples of the brick for our files. Ms. Firstenberg would also like to see an option with the trellis. Mr. Paggi suggested the Board get assurance from the developer that all mechanical equipment on the roof is not seen. Mr. Patton stated if for some reason the mechanical equipment was seen from the road they would install some quite strongly type of screening and Mr. Morris stated that it needs to match the facade of the building. It was stated that Mr. Patton is representing CVS and is only speaking for the CVS building but the Board informed Mr. Tinkleman that they want assurances from his that all mechanicals on roof would not be seen. Ms. Van Tuyl stated she would like to update the Board on the previous discussions on moving the bus stop from MIA Park to further down Route 9. Mr. Collier has had conversations with Dutchess County Mass Transit to find out what their view of it is and there has been an exchange of emails and we are asking that it be documented in writing. Mr. Collier stated they don't want the bus to have to go out of the main flow of traffic and then back again. Mr. Morris stated this goes against what is done all up and down Route 9. Mr. Collier stated he is working with Mr. Bill McGarry the Operations Supervisor for the Dutchess County Loop System. It was stated that the stop at the MIA Park is not an official LOOP stop. Patrons just wait there and flag the bus down. It seems if the Village wants this to be a more official bus stop – the LOOP would put a bus stop sign there. Ms. Van Tuyl stated Mr. Tinkleman will work with the LOOP system and see what can be worked out. Mr. Morris also stated he would like to get the opinion of the NYSDOT for the bus stop. Mr. Paggi stated the only issue he feels is outstanding is the type of construction fence and Mr. Tinkleman stated that is already on the new plans. Mr. Tinkleman stated he has made a couple of minor changes to the plan – i.e, elimination of two parking spaces and increasing of some landscaping, and there are now two egress lanes which makes the flow of traffic better. Mr. Collier showed examples of some of the lighting and where it would be located (copies of these are on files in the Planning/Zoning offices). He stated that the light poles would be 14 ft. and in the parking lots they would be on a 2 ft. base. Ms. Van Tuyl stated the next update they have is on signage. The tenant sign at Patriots Park that is proposed will be slightly shorter than what is existing and Mr. Morris stated he would like to see how this
