MINUTES OF PLANNING BOARD -2- 12/6/07 MESIER MOBIL MART, ROUTE 9 No one was present at meeting. HOLLOWBROOK OFFICE PARK, MARSHALL ROAD Next on the agenda was the change of occupancy to an Insurance Company – Suite 1P – Hollowbrook Office Park. Ms. Glassberg stated the new tenant would be occupying Suite 1P on the first floor of Building 3 – offices formerly occupied by the Wappingers Central School District – Mr. Morris asked if there would be any signage for this new business and she stated the only sign would be on the main menu board – there are interchangeable slats on the board. Mr. Morris stated for the record that the change of occupancy is going from office space to office space and therefore no change in the parking calculations. Mr. McCormick made a motion to approve the change of occupancy seconded by Mr. Moran. Unanimously carried. Applicant was reminded to contact the Zoning Enforcement Officer for a new Certificate of Occupancy. 2696A WEST MAIN STREET Next on the agenda was the proposal to make beef jerky at 296A West Main Street. George and Michael Sotanski stated they would be processing, packaging and shipping beef jerky from the location. There would be no street traffic and therefore they would not have any signage. It is in house processing – it is a dry process and therefore no cooking is involved and there will be no stove in the building. It was stated that the use is an allowed usage for the CB zone – the previous tenant was selling Avon and had vacated the building within the last months. Mr. Moran made a motion to approve the use contingent upon: (1) the applicant supplying to the code Enforcement Officer a copy of his license from the New York State Department of Agriculture and (2) a copy of his approval from the Dutchess County Health Department. Motion was seconded by Mr. McCormick. Unanimously carried. Applicant was reminded to contact the code Enforcement Officer for a Certificate of Occupancy. ORMATER DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Next on the agenda was the proposal from Ormater Development Corporation to amend their site plan for Route 9. The summary of proposed changes included: (1) proposed drugstore will be moved to the west by 5', (2) reconfigure south side of the building to allow for loading docks, etc. and traffic flow, and (3) move 13 parking spaces closer to the south end of the west side to be able to reconfigure the retention pond to a bottle shape. Mr. Morris then asked Mr. Paggi if he had re-evaluated the shape of the retention pond and if there were any changes and Mr. Paggi stated there are some changes and the applicants have not done the hydro logic studies on the pond because they want to essentially get it approved first before they did it. The pond moves so where there was a buffer between the South edge of the pond and the Wenliss yards there is none. Mr. Paggi wants to make sure that the standing pool in pond does not effect crawl spaces at Wenliss – especially since the edge of the pond is being moved closer to the property line. Mr. Morris was concerned about the depth of the pond and whether or not there should be a fence around the pond – applicant stated there is a guard rail around the pond and Ms. Grieg stated when Wenliss was going to install their retention pond the Planning Board insisted on a fence plus shrubbery. Mr. Morris stated he is not against the concept of the retention pond as proposed – his only concerns are with implementing the pond – Mr. Paggi stated he will make sure the pond functions as designed – Mr. Morris was also concerned that the Planning Board is not creating a hazard both safety and/or visually. The rest of the Board agreed with Mr. Morris' statements. Next the architecturals of the building was discussed.
