117 Oswego Street- North West Fire District
Mr. Kline, Commissioner of the North West Fire District was in attendance to address the Board this evening.  The North West Fire District submitted an amended site plan with adjustments to the parking arrangements at this site.  Sedgewick Properties Association, LLC. owner Mr. Muraco and North West Fire District have entered into a “Reciprocal Easement Agreement” regarding parking in the plaza located on 80 Smokey Hollow Road.  
Mr. Kline explained the barrier was moved West to allow for 19 spaces next to the fire house and on the other side of the barrier is 11 spaces, the 19-20 spaces left will be for shared parking.  Mr. Muraco wanted the original parking agreement changed due to the location of the barrier and the fact cars would have to back-out of the parking area, he was not in favor of the backing up into possible oncoming cars.  Mr. Kline stated that everything else will remain the same, all signages will stay the same.

36 Oswego Street-new elevator and entrance

Mr. Manning, Architect for 36 Oswego Street project addressed the Board.  Stardance Industries, LLC, owner of proposed site, intends to install a new interior elevator and renovate and improve the existing entrance to the rear of the building.  Improvements would include a new set of exterior steps and accessible ramp and walk, within the property line.  Pedestrian access from East Genesee Street will be maintained. Existing site does not have vehicular access, and none is proposed. The existing guardrail will be removed and re-placed with black 8 x 8 tubular Neenah Bollards with full frost foundation and connected with steel chain link.  The elevator work will not affect the exterior. The exterior work should take about 4 weeks as soon as the weather breaks.   

Motion by Mr. Mazoway to approve the plan as presented with the following findings:

1.)	This is a Type II Action; no further SEQRA findings are required.
2.)	The SOCPB referral has determined that said referral will have no significant no              adverse inter-community or county-wide implications.  
3.)	The improvement is within the intent “Four Corners Overlay District”
4.)	The Bollard shall be black painted galvanized ornamental steel, heavy gage chain.  Spec sheet to be provided to the Department of Codes.  
Second by Ms. King.
Motion carried 4:0

55-57 East Genesee Street – Upstate Premier Mtg. - exterior renovations/site plan review

Mr. Keith Bond, owner of Upstate Premier Mortgage addressed the Board.  He explained he is making improvements to the exterior of his building.  The only structural change will be the removal of one front door replacing it with a window.  The ramp in front of the door will be removed, one ramp will remain for the main entrance.  This business is in the East Genesee Overlay District.  There are already all new windows installed and new roof on the building.   

Mr. Collins informed Mr. Bond that the Board would be unable to approve this site plan this evening.  The site plan must be reviewed and approved by the Architectural Review Board at April 2, 2018 meeting.  The site plan will also have to be submitted to SOCPB for their review.  

Mr. Collins reviewed with the Board the standards of this East Genesee Overlay District to the over-all site plan of this project, determining this is not an issue.

PB meeting March 27, 2018                                                                                page 2  
Mr. Collins discussed the possibility of a sidewalk to be installed across the driveway.  The Village requires sidewalks to be through driveways, and Village is asking property owners to comply.  Mr. Darcangelo stated that often when an application is submitted for a project, the applicant is requested to address and comply with our sidewalk code.  Mr. Bond stated, he has intentions of repairing his back-parking lot this summer.  Mr. Darcangelo agreed the parking area and sidewalk could be done together and possibly this would be a condition as part of the approval to this site plan and thought October 2018 would be a fair time line to complete that project.  Mr. Bond stated he has two large LED lights in the back-parking lot and has no intention of changing the existing lighting. 
Ms. King requested an updated elevation from the applicant showing corrected color of windows from black as shown to the existing beige.

The Board agreed the renovation is a great improvement.

The Board tabled any further discussion until this matter has gone before the ARB on 
April 2, 2018 and they will revisit this application at the next Planning Board meeting scheduled on April 24, 2018.
	
Motion by Ms. King to adjourn the meeting at 8:06p.m., second by Mr. Scherfling.

The next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, April 24, 2018 at 7:30pm
Respectfully Submitted,
Mary E. Augustus, 
Planning Board Secretary
