104 Smokey Hollow Rd.-LaMadre Landing/exterior, lighting, signage 

Mr. Maloy was present this evening on behalf of their client, Christopher Community. Mr. Maloy from Passero Associates Engineering Architecture addressed the Board. He explained that this project is a 52-unit 2-story multifamily building located at 104 Smokey Hollow Road.  It is a 6.75-acre undeveloped property in the Smokey Hollow Planned Development District (PDD). The new building would be just North of St. Mary’s. Christopher Community owns St. Mary’s, and this proposed project would be a perfect fit to the area. To the North of the site is Edgewood Drive, which is residential homes, and the Baldwinsville High School is to the Southeast. Mr. Maloy explained the existing access will be from St. Mary’s Apartments, there will not be any new curb cuts. The 2-story building will be an “L” shape with 35-1 bedrooms and 17-2 bedrooms, parking will be on the South side of the building, leaving a 50-foot buffer to the neighbors. Mr. Maloy stated they moved the dumpster area 10-feet to the South from the original site plan to keep the noise down for the residents. All services will connect with St. Mary’s Apartments and the connections are on the East side of Smokey Hollow Road. 
Mr. Navarro address the Board. The proposed exterior of this 2-story building will be Fiber Cement Lap siding, a combination of Hardie; “Iron Gray” and “Gray Slate”. The bump-outs will be brick veneer “Belden Rubigo Red”. All window and doors are white vinyl. The roof shingles are Timberline HD, “Charcoal”. The Juliette balconies are pre-finished in black. Fiber Cement trim in white will be used to match the windows. Mr. Navarro continued, there will be black metal canopies over the entrance doors.
Mr. Maloy explained due to concern light was spilling-over to the neighboring properties, the light poles at St. Mary’s Apartments were removed and lights have been installed on the building. Mr. Navarro stated that wall mounted lights will be installed by the entrance doors. There will be sidewalk lighting and lights place above the utility doors. 
Ms. Halleron asked what individuals would reside at this facility? Ms. Farwagi stated adults with disabilities and there will be 24/7 staffing. This is a “family” environment, and it is considered affordable housing.  

Motion by Mr. Johnson to approve the application as submitted, second by Mr. Orlando                               Carried 4:0

The letters appear carved rather than raised lettering. The lighting will be ground flood onto both sides of the sign, no internal lighting. The sign will be compliant with Baldwinsville code.
