PLANNING BOARD

1. Pittsford Little League - Bob Ford Field - Site Plan Approval
Present: Steve Bailey, Representative for the lessee (Pittsford Little League)
Proposed: To obtain site plan approval for the construction of a new equipment shed and bathrooms.

The secretary read the legal notice that was published in the Brighton Pittsford Post on April 10, 2002: "Please take notice that a Public Hearing will be held before the Village of Pittsford Planning Board at the Village Hall, 21 North Main Street, Pittsford, New York, on Monday, April 22, 2002 at 7:30 P.M. to consider an application made by the New York State Canal Corporation (owner) and Pittsford Little League (lessee)," for a site plan approval to include the construction of a new equipment shed and restrooms on property known as Bob Ford Field, located on South Street in the Village of Pittsford, NY pursuant to Article XVII, Chapter 210-83, Site Plan Approval, of the Code of the Village of Pittsford."

SEQR: Chairperson Mitchell stated this is a Type II Action under SEQR 617.5, #2 and #7. No further review is necessary.

Discussion: Mr. Steve Bailey stated the use of Bob Ford Field is seasonal with the season ending in September. The work on the facility will begin as soon as all approvals are received with an expected completion by the end of May. The proposal is for the removal of the existing equipment shed and the replacement of a new larger permanent facility. This facility will house the storage of all equipment as well as have bathroom accommodations for 2 men and 2 women. This will eliminate the need for port-a-potties and the existing storage cubes. The snack bar building will also be upgraded with a new roof and siding. One or two small trees located on the perimeter may need to be taken down but no other landscaping changes are planned. A self-contained, no vent pipe, threshold monitor alarm, septic system, holding 1800 gallons, will be maintained by McKenna Plumbing (contract). This septic system will be located underground next to the building. The unit will have a manhole cover. For safety concerns, locking the manhole cover was discussed.

Russ Smith - 22 South Street - stated that it is a common practice at all Monroe County parks to have holding tanks.

Public Hearing opened: Chairperson Mitchell opened the public hearing.

Building Inspector Skip Bailey suggested that site plan approval be conditional for the removal of all trailers and port-a-potties upon completion of the structure.

The Board raised some concerns regarding the type of materials to be used regarding the construction of the facility. The cinder block portion of the concession building will remain and possibly standard wood siding will be used for the remainder. The application needs to be reviewed by the Architectural Preservation and Review Board. There were also concerns raised regarding a 'safe walk zone' near the concession stand on the side of the driveway.

No other comments were submitted regarding this application.

Public Hearing closed: There being no further comments, Chairperson Mitchell closed the Public Hearing.

Motion: Chairperson Mitchell made a motion, seconded by Member Danko, to accept the site plan proposed with the following conditions: 1. Width of the 'safe zone walkway' should be a minimum of 3' and protected by bollards on the side of the driveway. 2. Trailer, temporary storage units, and port-a-potties be removed after the completion. 3. Manhole cover to the holding tank is to be secured. 4. Board approval will be needed if additional lighting is needed. 5. APRB approval needed.

Vote: Weniger - yes, Chamberlin - yes, Mitchell - yes, Lanphear - yes, Danko - yes. Motion carried. The decision was filed in the Office of the Village Clerk on 4/22/02.

2. Keith Miller - 27 North Main Street - Site Plan Approval
Present: Keith Miller, owner
Proposed: To obtain site plan approval for the construction of a parking area for a bed and breakfast home and installation of a free standing sign.

The secretary read the legal notice that was published in the Brighton Pittsford Post on April 10, 2002: "Please take notice that a Public Hearing will be held before the Village of Pittsford Planning Board at the Village Hall, 21 North Main Street, Pittsford, New York on Monday, April 22, 2002 at 7:30 P. M. to consider an application made by Keith Miller, owner, for site plan approval to include a free-standing sign and the construction of a parking area for a Bed and Breakfast establishment to be located at 27 North Main Street, Pittsford, NY pursuant to Article XVII, Chapter 210-83, Site Plan Approval, of the Code of the Village of Pittsford."

SEQR: The applicant has requested a Special Use Permit from the Board of Trustees. A SEQR application was filed as a result of the April 9th Trustee meeting. The Planning Board has been asked to review this application for SEQR issues and for a lead agency declaration.

Discussion: Mr. Miller had applied to the Board of Trustees for a Special Use Permit in April for the operation of a Bed and Breakfast at 27 North Main Street (former Zornow estate). He is appearing before the Planning Board conditionally to obtain site plan approval for a parking area in the location of the existing concrete based garage. The owner's intent is to demolish the garage and utilize the location for the availability of five parking places (one for each of the guestrooms and one for himself). There may be a need to remove one pine tree that is behind the existing garage to make room for the parking area. Mr. Miller is also proposing an illuminated (incandescent) sign to read "Canal Lamp Inn" to be placed between the walkway and the driveway. There will also be four Mohawk lanterns (kerosene lamps converted to electric) hanging from metal poles along the walkway. The visibility from the canal is limited because the canal perimeter of the property is wooded.

Public Hearing opened: Chairperson Mitchell opened the public hearing.

It was stated that a decision can not be made at this time because the application is considered incomplete due to the following: 1. No Special Use Permit has been issued; 2. SEQR review needs to be completed before Planning Board will grant site plan approval; 3. The site plan for parking is dependent upon the APRB approval for the demolition of the garage.

Chairperson Mitchell stated there is no SEQR concern sited by the Planning Board. She further stated to request the Board of Trustees be the 'lead agency' regarding this application. A letter will be sent to the Board of Trustees for their May 14th meeting given this decision.

Member Weniger sited there are other concerns the Planning Board has regarding the issuance of a Special Use Permit for the Bed and Breakfast: 1. Owner residency/occupancy; 2. Future plans for the back property (currently used as a rental property for the owner's sister-in-law) and how those plans will impact the neighbors (Bolger's and Hayden's) properties. 3. The Special Use Permit be limited to the front portion of the property only with limitations placed upon the applicant. Member Weniger will draft a letter on behalf of the Planning Board to the Board of Trustees for their May 14th meeting siting these concerns.

No other comments were submitted regarding this application.

Public Hearing is left open pending the decisions of the Board of Trustees and the Architectural Preservation and Review Board.

Motion: Chairperson Mitchell made a motion, seconded by Member Danko, to draft a letter to the Board of Trustees declaring them as lead agency in the SEQR review of the Bed and Breakfast located at 27 North Main Street. She further stated another letter will be drafted regarding the Board's concerns regarding the issuance of a Special Use Permit.

Vote: Weniger - yes, Chamberlin - yes, Mitchell - yes, Lanphear - yes, Danko - yes. Motion carried. The decision was filed in the Office of the Village Clerk on 4/22/02.
