The first item of business was with 5127 Route 9G applicants Patrick Hildenbrand and Brian Denu, as well as their attorney Angela Lore. Mike Billeci requested from the applicants a large format site plan document based on a survey for accuracy, that is drawn to scale, either 18”x24” or 24”x36” in size. This plan should be drawn by an engineer or architect and must include space for a signature block, notes from the resolution with requirements such as curb cut and plantings. The building elevation was determined to not be very important, and the floor plan of the interior not necessary because it exceeds 500 square feet. The code states that there needs to be a facility for pedestrians, which Mike suggested be 5 feet wide. Existing vegetation should be preserved and a landscaped buffer must be planted, one canopy tree and ten shrubs for every 40 feet. The applicants must plant 3 canopy trees and ten shrubs. The buffer must be 20 feet deep and adjacent to the road. The horseshoe driveway will not adhere to code as there can only be one curb cut.
A discussion about the sidewalk took place. Applicants are hesistant to install a sidewalk. Angela Lore
stated it would be a “sidewalk to nowhere.” Mike Billeci suggested a gravel path to adhere to the code,
as the sidewalks have been added to the Master Plan due to safety of pedestrians. In addition to
aforementioned details of the site plan, any lighting changes must be included if applicants decide to
change the lighting or use the sign from Champlin’s Deli. Once the applicants submit the site plan to the
Board it will be reviewed for approval or more changes may be suggested.
The next item addressed was 57 Broadway. John Molinaro brought a picture of a tent that would be
similar to one used in the backyard of 57 Broadway, for private breakfasts over the summer for wedding
parties. He was concerned about needing a permit but Mike Billeci suggested consolidating the
application by adding the tent, as the tent might pose a problem with the parking in the rear of the
building. A large format print of the site plan was requested with details of the resolution, any notes,
and a space for the signature block. The building elevation was suggested to be noted on the plan as it
will protect the owner in the future from any complaints. Pamela mentioned the potholes near the
sidewalk being a liability as a few pedestrians have stumbled there. John Molinaro clarified that Lisa
Lynds does not own the building and it must be addressed in the memo that Kalo Taxidi, LLC is the
owner of the building.
Pamela Morin mentioned her plan to place temporary storage behind Murray’s but she has not
submitted a site plan for this meeting.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:52PM.
Respectfully submitted,
