Mr. Harry Strang proprietor of Best Tile was representing the Plaza. Mr. Paggi’s review letter dated July 23, 2015 was read. (copy on file in the Planning/Zoning offices). It was stated that the new delivery route will be entered through the northerly exit on North Mesier Avenue and proceed in a counterclockwise motion around the building, and exit out the southerly entrance onto North Mesier Avenue. At the exit there should be a “let hand turn only” sign. Also no parking of vehicles should be allowed behind the building. Mr. Strang stated he agreed with Mr. Paggi’s comments and will incorporate them into his site plan. Not required to have a public hearing. Ms. Greig’s review letter dated August 5, 2015 was read. (copy of letter is on file in the Planning/Zoning offices.) It was determined that the project is a Type II action under SEQR. It was stated that the site plan should include the street number of project site and zoning classification of property. Applicant stated he would be using Rosa (Fairy Rose), and thunder cloud and flowering plum trees and stated that a note will be added to the plan which states that all landscaping will be maintained by the owner of the property. Lighting was then discussed and applicant stated he will be using 10 ft. lamp post. He went on to state he can control the circumference of the light spray. The lights will shine down and be fully shielded. He is also replacing all lighting with the same amperage as existing but instead of a yellow glow there will be a nice soft white glow. Applicant went on to state he is concerned about the neighbors directly behind him and will make sure no light spray affects their property. Ms. Greig stated he needs to supply the planning board with all manufacturers’ cut sheets of proposed lighting and fixtures to ensure that it is fully shielded as required by the Zoning Ordinance. Also the plan needs to be referred to Dutchess County Department of Planning. No public hearing will be held – the Planning Board is waiving this requirement on a roll call vote as follows: Mr. Morris – Aye, Ms. Kieffer – Aye, Mr. Moran – Nay, Mr. McCormick – Nay and Mr. Relyea – Nay.
