PLANNING BOARD

1. Hall Associates (Talbot's) - 66 Monroe Avenue - site plan approval for addition
Present: Mr. Robert Barkstrom, Agent
Proposed: to obtain site plan approval for the construction of an addition which will be approximately 4000 square feet, to the east end of Talbot's. It will include easterly expansion of parking.

SEQR: Chairperson Mitchell said this is a Type I action under 617.4 #9. A coordinated review will be required. The Planning Board discussed Lead Agency status; however, the application is not complete at this time.

Discussion: Chairperson Mitchell asked about the possibility of relocating Forsyth's Jewelers closer to Monroe Avenue so that Talbot's store windows and store front would be facing the street. Mr. Barkstrom said he would have to discuss that with the owner.

Public Hearing Opened: Chairperson Mitchell opened the Public Hearing.
Robert Corby, 7 Washington Avenue: Mr. Corby said the Comprehensive Plan, adopted by the Board of Trustees, recognizes that buildings in all districts should face the street to harness energy and enhance the traditional patterns of the buildings. He said the retail appearance of this building should face Monroe Avenue to be in keeping with the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Corby also stated that it is important how this building looks from the Canal side as well. He said consideration should be given for this year round.
Marcia Watt, 42 Monroe Avenue: Ms. Watt said the existing entrance to the Petite store faces her property. She would like to see landscaping between the store and the railroad tracks. She is opposed to any additional entrance or display window on the same façade. Ms. Watt submitted a letter stating her concerns.
Board comments: Board members suggested the applicant attend an APRB meeting for information only. They said that stores that do not have their retail appearance on the street side do not give a friendly feeling. Chairperson Mitchell stated she would like to see the expanse of asphalt within the parking area closer to Monroe Avenue, enhanced by plantings to mitigate the massive appearance of blacktop. Board members made the following suggestions to the applicant:

1. the site plan should include screening and a lighting view from Monroe Ave. and the Canal
   
2. the applicant should submit a complete application including Part I of the long form SEQR
   
3. the applicant is encouraged to attend an APRB meeting for information only.
   
4. Alterations should address the gateway and streetscape concepts of the Village of Pittsford Comprehensive Plan.
   

Public Hearing remains open until July 22, 2002: Chairperson Mitchell held the Public Hearing open until next month's meeting to allow the applicant time to review the suggestions of the Board, submit a complete application including Part I of the long form SEQR and to attend an APRB meeting for information only if they so desire.

Building Inspector's Report
Mr. Bailey passed out copies of proposed Local Law #4 of 2002 for Board members to review. This law will increase uses to include some types of indoor recreation and instruction in the B-1, B-1A, B-2 and B-4 districts.

Member Weniger said the law should address the size of classes that would be allowed. He said there should be some guidelines stated in the law. Mr. Bailey said each application would be different and the Board would have discretion. Member Danko said the word "recreation" should follow the word "instructional" in the law. Board members said significant limitations of size and instructional/recreational uses combined with retail were the issues in the initial discussion. Members would like to see these issues addressed in the law. Mr. Bailey said these issues could be regulated by the criteria in the Special Exception Use section of the code. It was decided that Board members should send their comments to the Board of Trustees. Attorneys Osborn and Turner should review the draft of the law to determine the best way to word it.

Dibella's Subs: Mr. Bailey reported the interior and the HVAC are still being designed.
JAYA Juicery: Mr. Bailey reported that there has not been an agreement with the Landlord regarding the non-competition clause at 1 North Main Street.
