PB meeting August 27, 2019                                                                                page 1  
This proposed development is known as the existing Johnson Tact of land on Canton Street Tax Map #027.-01-05.1.  This property is zoned R-1A, single family dwellings.  Mr. Calocerino has provided a sketch plan for the Board’s review.  The property is now supplied by the Village with water and septic. He is proposing a Townhouse development with 27 buildings, some with 2, 3 and 4 unites in one area.  The townhouses are preferred to be sold and not rentals, but this would depend on the market at the time.  There would be two (2) exit points onto to Canton Street.   This project would extend over to a piece of property owned by Carmen Spensier located on the corner of VanBuren Road and Syracuse Street.  The property is in the Town of VanBuren but is not in the Village of Baldwinsville.  The area is also zoned an R-1A, it would be necessary to have a zone change if this project was to be development.  Mr. Calocerino continued, the sketch plan I have provided clearly marked areas for the wet land and flood zone. 

Mr. Mazoway asked what the developer is going to do regarding water and septic.  Mr. Calocerino stated that this partial area was already supplied by the Village and was hoping to continue to work with the Village for these services.  Annexing this portion into the Village is still open for discussion.  

Mr. Collins explained to Mr. Calocerino the Village almost insists any new developments into our area that sidewalks would be installed, the Village intend is to make the village more pedestrian friendly. Mr. Calocerino commented that it would increase the cost of this development but would work with the Village.  

Mr. Darangelo explained the Village will not give services unless the proposed development is annexed into the Village.  OCWA would need a letter stating this, Mr. Darcangelo will provide this letter if needed.

Ms. King has concerns regarding the increase in traffic on to Canton Street which is a two-lane road.  Mr. Bargabos intervened by stating there would be a traffic study done and present it to the Board, a requirement by New York State.   

A Zone change will be necessary for this project to move forward.  To have this area zoned as a PDD, it must have one signal owner and a PDD cannot be subdivided. 

If any traffic lights are installed due to a new development, it would be determined by the State of New.

Both Mr. Calocerino and Mr. Bargabos will review and discuss the comments made this evening and make a determination where this proposed development will go from here, they thanked the Board for the input.

Discussion regarding 5G Wireless

The Planning Board will be discussing the install of 5G in the Village and providing the Village Board a recommendation of guidelines.

PB meeting August 27, 2019                                                                                page 2 
The Telecommunications Act of 1996 affirmed the Village’s authority concerning the placement, construction and modification of wireless telecommunications facilities.  This discussion is to ensure the Village adopts a single, comprehensive, wireless telecommunication facilities application and permit process. 

5G is the newest technology in obtaining cell coverage, the device is smaller, and range is limited. The FCC has determined 5G is a utility and cannot be prevented.  

•	Device must be place on a utility pole space a maximum of every 500 feet.  
•	Adopt an acceptable pole in a development with underground utility services
•	FCC allows multi-use on existing utility poles
•	Where there are double poles side-by-side, monitor transfer of equipment and removal original pole
•	A fee will be enforced if an empty pole is not removed
•	Incorporate similar poles in developments that have light pole
•	The Village has the right to deny an application that hasn’t the proper requirements to Village standards.
•	The Village has the option to determine the design of pole used in certain developments
•	Installation requires a SHPO review
•	The existing Nationgrid poles with village review and approval can be used for 5G devices
•	Where possible devices should be installed on any existing poles providing the poles are in good condition
•	If a pole must be replaced, it must be replaced with a similar designed pole that would accommodate lights (if any) and 5G device
•	New installation of a pole will require a site plan.
•	The Planning board will ask for description/pictures of poles that are used so they may review ahead of time and make selections (example Denver Pole)
•	“Tree City USA” preserve trees at all cost
•	Look over the profile of equipment (box size & shape)
•	Location of new pole installation on property

The Planning Board has discussed important topics regarding the 5G installation in the Village.  The Village Attorney, Ms. Jamie Sutphen will compile an outline of the issues reviewed today and present it at the next meeting.  The Board would like a plan in place as soon as possible to be ready in the event the telecommunication facility presents a proposal to install 5G in the Village.
