Gary Beck for the Cemetery Road proposed subdivision came before the board. At the last meeting, Mr. Beck was to obtain approval from NYS DOT to cut within the right of way on Route 9G to improve site distance north of Cemetery Road, speak with the neighbor about erecting a fence on the property, get approval from town highway superintendent and town engineer on no left turn from Cemetery Road into easternmost entrance to proposed town road in development, and highway superintendent and town engineers opinion on stormwater retention plans in order for the Planning board to consider preliminary approval. He does expect to have a permit from NYS DOT next week for the work to be done on Route 9. He has not yet been able to contact the landowner concerning fencing. Dianne O'Neal requested a letter from the partners that fencing and installation will be provided, if requested by landowner. Mr. Beck is seeking preliminary approval contingent upon the DOT permit and letter regarding fencing. He has submitted a letter from Superintendent Potts on ‘no left turn’ and stormwater retention and Lindsey Scholl from Dan Wheelers office has stated that Dan has reviewed these plans and approved. Al Trezza explained that the Towns responsibility for road drainage ends once it leaves the road culverts, then it becomes the developers responsibility until the Homeowners association take over. Lot #6 will be burdened with the drainage easement in this case. The total acreage for that parcel is 5.129 acres including the retention pond. Mr. Trezza will seek a few changes to the Stormwater Management agreement, including adding enforcement but the agreement is basically sound.

The proposed name for the development is Madison Hills and the developers are Southroad Builders. Discussed the road entrance and proposal for no left turn from Cemetery Road. It was decided that there should be no entry from either direction from Cemetery Road on the easterly end of the road.

The conditions applied to preliminary approval are as follows:

1. Maintenance agreement for homeowners on stormwater runoff and retention.

2. Columbia County health department approval

3. Work permit from NYS DOT on Route 9G, north of Cemetery Road.

4. Approval of road change signed by Highway Superintendent and town engineer as to no entry.

5. Change on Lots 3 & 5 as to reserved strip.

6. Change names on map (of development)

7. Remove house on Lot #10.

A motion was on the floor for preliminary approval of the plan contingent upon conditions being met. Mandy Fuchs made a motion to grant preliminary approval, if the proposed road is an exit road only, no entrance on the easterly end onto Cemetery Road. Motion seconded by Aldo Dusman. A roll call vote was held as follows:

Andrus – aye, Quierolo – aye, Dusman – aye, O’Connor – aye, O’Neal – aye, Fuchs – aye, Saulpaugh – aye. All in favor. So carried.

A motion to grant preliminary approval based on the above was made by Garret O'Connor, seconded by Clayton Andrus. A roll call vote was held:

Andrus – aye, Quierolo – aye, Dusman – aye, O’Connor – aye, O’Neal – aye, Fuchs – aye, Saulpaugh – aye. All in favor So Carried.

Phil Ferrone of C & M. Fruit Growers, County Route 8 and his surveyor, Robert Ihlenburg presented a proposal to subdivide 145 acres and create four parcels of 1.50 acres each with 150-foot frontage for each parcel. The board suggested shared driveways, which are allowed by zoning. Mr. Ferrone will need County Highway department approval and Health department approval. Wells and septics will have to be plotted for adjoining properties and for new lots and contact Niagara Mohawk for access to power. A motion was made to accept the sketch plan and application by Garret O'Connor, seconded by Dianne O'Neal for major subdivision. All in favor. So carried.

Phil Seymour and engineer, Timothy Ross are awaiting health department approval of plans for subdivision on Nevis Road. Dan Wheeler has approved of plans. A motion was made to grant preliminary approval of subdivision contingent on health department approval. All in favor. So carried.

Mandy Fuchs is proposing a boundary line change and subdivision of one lot from property on County Route 6. This proposal would annex a fifty-foot strip from Lot 1 and be used as a flag lot to Lot 2 – 1.50 to 2.00 acres.

A proposal for subdivision was delivered from William Gregory and Leonora Connell on Trout Creek Road, but as there was no one present, it was tabled until next month.

A motion to adjourn was made by Clayton Andrus, seconded by Robert Quierolo at 11:00 P.M.

Respectfully submitted,
