BEST TILE PLAZA (FORMERLY LAFAYETTE PLAZA), 1671 ROUTE 9 First on the agenda was a proposal for an amended site plan for the Best Tile Plaza, 1671 Route 9. Mr. Harry Strang, representing the owners of the plaza was present. It was stated that the plans that are being reviewed do not incorporate any of the most recent comments from the Consultants. Greenplan, Inc.,’s review letter dated August 31, 2015 (copy on file in the Planning/Zoning offices) was discussed. Again it was stated that the project was classified as a Type II Action on August 6, 2015. It was stated that note #3 on the Landscaping Plan should read, “Owner of record shall maintain landscaping, replace dead plants and mulch on an annual basis.” Mr. Strang then discussed the lighting. He submitted a test report entitled, “Photometric testing and evaluation in accordance with LM79-2000” (copy of this report is on file in the Planning/Zoning offices). In order to show the Board the exact light he would be using, he brought one with him to the Board meeting. It was stated that the radiation of the light is all downward. He also submitted a report for the PTLK-90 Intencity Lighting (he will be using PTLK-60) which explains that it is a replacement for higher wattage metal halide post top lamps. (A copy of this report is also on file in the Planning/Zoning offices). He also stated that they have a 10 ft. pole where a maximum of 20 ft. is permitted. All lighting will be contained on the subject property. It was stated that he would need 16 trees per the code and his plan shows a mixture of 16 trees (small, medium and large). There should also be a note on the site plan that states all non-essential outdoor lighting will be time controlled. Ms. Greig stated that she is satisfied with the types of plantings that are proposed but feels applicant should add some additional trees to the smaller islands. It was stated that the plans have been updated to show left turn only, there is also new curbing directing left turn only (anyone exiting from the rear of the property is directed to make a left turn only to avoid delivery trucks going through Village streets). Ms. Greig suggested that a note be added to the landscaping plan stating that the caliber of trees should be 2 ½” at the time of planting. It was stated that applicant should keep the thunder cloud trees in the parking lot and go to pear on road and along northern boundary. Mr.
