{Mark Giardina read the first application):
STUDCO BUILDING SYSTEMS-SIGN:; Located at 545 Basket Road. Applicant Kirk Wright
is requesting SIGN APPROVAL associated with the replacement of (3) existing building
mounted signs and (1) monument sign to reflect rebranding of the Fairfield Inn on a 2.19-acre
parcel having SBL# 079.1 1-1-21.2 located in an HC High Intensity Commercial District under
Section 265-7 of the Code of the Town of Webster.
Appearing before the board was Kirk Wright at Sign and Lighting Services, 530 St. Route 104,
Ontario, NY. A couple things, the sign that is proposed and you guys have drawings for, is
actually 31.6 square feet and | just wanted to make that clear, | am not sure where the 28 square
feet came from.
Pe. 21 /February 7, 2023 Planning Meeting
We are just looking for Planning Board approval. It is a simple non-illuminated sign trying to
identify the tenants that are in that property. So, there will be five panels that will become a
tenant panel in the future.
Ok, why is it necessary to go to eight foot when six foot is our guidelines?
Basically, because being that there are five tenants on the property. To shrink that
down... we are trying to give them enough space with the setback off Basket Road at 45 feet, you
know, if we shrunk those panels any smaller, we just don’t feel that the copy will be large
enough to be legible from the road.
How about widening it and do three and three?
Pardon me?
How about widening it and do three panels and three panels side by side?
This sign has gone through a lot of design challenges with the customer, and this is
the look that he has agreed upon and that he likes. We can take the address off.
No, want the address. Who are the five tenants? (DID ANYONE VISIT
PROPERTY)?
I do not know.
Are they actually five tenants?
That is my understanding.
Personally, | don’t like to vary away from out six-foot height, and I really don’t like
the idea of setting a precedent to do that. We have done some exceptions sometimes when they
the contour of the land drops down and if you are just going six foot off the property, it’s not
seen from the road very well, things lke that but I don’t see a need for it.
If you drove by the property, you will sec the post of the old existing sign 45 feet
back off Basket Road is quite a ways back.
What do you guys think?
| agree with you. | would like to see the sign widen with the three signs next to each
other.
You are right because you open pandoras box sort of speak if you say ok to this
one and then somcone clse comes in and says wait a minute.
Pg, 22 /February 7, 2023 Planning Meectng
| was under the impression I could file for a variance, and | believe that paperwork
is already in the process for the additional two fect .
The variance would be with the ZBA. Josh, is that paperwork in?
Katherine do you recall if we have an application for this sign for next month?
| can not remember to tell you the truth.
| don’t think that we received an application yet and I know the deadline isn’t until
next week so.
So, the safest thing is to have it go to the ZBA and if they give permission
I don’t think we could support this as a group. We don’t see a need for it to be
installed so we couldn’t support the application to the ZBA for the variance.
We certainly couldn’! give you a recommendation to the ZBA.
Am I in front of the wrong board? Should I have gotten a variance first, is that my
understanding?
Yes
Ok, so do we table this until after 1 go to the ZBA?
Probably table till the next meeting, Josh?
Well, it would have to be tabled till the April meeting if he is going to the Zoning
Board in March.
(Speaking to Dave Malta) You would only consider entertaining the application if
the ZB granted the variance. You could perhaps consider, if the board desired to grant an
approval conditioned on the ZB approval on the variance but that comes back to whether or not
the board is comfortable with its review.
Yes, at this point, | would say we are not comfortable with it,
Derek Meixel!: I don’t see a reason for it so | would say, ] am not comfortable.
So, going to the ZB would be a moot point?
Effectively. This board has indicated that they are not comfortable with it in the
sculp of it’s review then the ZBA would be a moot point.
Py. 23 /February 7. 2023 Planning Meeting
Even if you got the variance, we still don’t want to go on with that. I would tell you
[" to reconsider redesigning this.
RESOLUTION 23-010 Derek Meixell made a motion to DENY THE

TO THE CORE LAGREE FITNESS SIGN: Located at 1028 Ridge Road. Applicant Vital
Signs is requesting SIGN APPROVAL associated with the installation of a 29.8 SF building
mounted fagade sign for To the Core Lagree Fitness on a 9.10-acre parcel having SBL# 079. 12-
]-20 located in an HC High Intensity Commercial District under Section 265-7 of the Code of
the Town of Webster.
Appearing before the board was Amy Catalano with Vital Signs. We are proposing an internally
lit channel letter sign for TO THE CORE to replace the non-lit stud mounted letters that they
have up there now. Standard LED; acrylic faces; taking up the same area that is currently there
and actually a little less, I think.
Does that fagade need to be cleaned up when the old sign comes down?
I think that there is going to have to be a little bil of clear silicone put in and a
lot of it is going to be covered though but where the icons were, they will have to be addressed
because they don’t have those this time around.
What exactly is going to be on the sign, is it THE CORE PILATES?
Well, it is going to be TO THE CORE LAGREE FITNESS.
Ok, the reason I am asking ts the sign permit application says project name, TO
THE CORE PILATES s0 I was just wondering what Is was.
Oh right, that is what it was bul now it is to THE CORE LAGREE FITNESS.
[ Mark Giardina: Lam sorry, you changed it over, right?
Py. 24 /February 7. 2023 Planning Meeting
Yes, she changed the name to include LAGREE FITNESS replacing PILATES.
It is a different type of work out.
Ok.
Only the letters are going to be lit?
Yes
Seems pretty standard to me. Any comments?

Appearing before the board was Amy Catalano. So, this to is an internally lit channel letter sign
mounted to a raceway. White acrylic faces; digital print for the lily, the flower. It takes up the
same square footage as the previous tenant, DJ Nails.
Ok, pretty standard.
It’s not Hl, is it?
Yes. Any questions or concerns? Are you going to have to clean the fagade on that
one?
Well, DJ Nails is still up so that raceway has to come down and I am not sure
what the footprint is going to be or if we are going to cover but certainly, it will either be
covered, or it will probably need some touch up paint.

Ok, pretty simple.
Do we need a number for the sign?
You mean address? Is there an address on the building?
They have a giant monument out front that I believe has the address on it.

Located near the southwest corner of Phillips and Lake
Roads. Applicant 169 Phillips Rd, LLC is requesting PRELIMINARY SITE PLAN &
SUBDIVISION APPROVAL (
PUBLIC HEARING
) associated with the construction of (4)
single-family residences on an existing 10.61-acre parcel having SBL# 050.01-1-65.11 located in
an R-1 Single Family Residential District under Sections 269-11 and 296-15 of the Code of the
Town of Webster.
Appearing before the board was Don Lewis and I am with DH Lewis representing the owners of
the parcel, 169 Phillips Rd, LLC. This application was before the board last month for concept
review and comments for the four-lot subdivision at the intersection of Lake Road and Phillips
Road in the southwest/east corner. We are proposing three new residences along Phillips Road
access and then one single lot access off of Lake Road across from the Crecks Edge Subdivision
entrance. The subdivision will also have access by municipal sewers connection across Lake
Road for the sewers in Creeks Edge. The lots will all be serviced by municipal water off of Lake
Road and Phillips Road. The three lots on Phillips Road, one will have its own driveway which
is an existing driveway . The parcel already has a barn, a horse barn that was part of the
subdivision that happened in the sale a couple of years ago, so they are using that driveway to go
with the barn and new house and then the last two lots are further back off the property, off the
right of way excuse me, on a shared private drive.
Py. 32 /Pebruary 7. 2023 Planning Meeting
I did receive comments from Josh over the weekend in regard to PRC comments, so I don’t
know if you want me to go through those now.
Yes , do you want to address those?
Yes, sure.
SEE LIST OF PRC COMMENTS:
Review of concept plans for a 4-lot single family residential
subdivision near SE corner of Lake and Phillips Roads
¢ Community Development: * Lake Road lot has already been subdivided off, subdivision
is to create 3 additional lots off of remaining lands and construct 3 new single-family
homes.
e Fire Marshal: © Driveway is 14’ wide which exceeds the min. requirement of 12’ and is
only serving 2 homes so is sufficient to meet Fire Code. © If closest point of the house is
not within 500’ of nearest fire hydrant (following the vehicular accessway), homes
must be sprinklered or a private main with hydrant must be run into the site to comply
with NYS Fire Prevention Code. ¢ Add distances to hydrants on site plan.
e Planning Board: ¢ Need to run sewer to west lot line of lot I (along south side of Lake
Rd.) to provide future connection opportunity for Lake Rd. residents. * Lot 4 is land
locked; Lots 3 & 4 should be reconfigured to be “flag lots”, each with a 15’ wide strip
connecting to Phillips Road ROW. © Provide a drawing showing how the drainage
patterns will not negatively affect neighbors to the south, as requested at sketch plan
review meeting. © Need to maintain tree buffer along southern area adjacent to existing
residential to greatest extent possible.
e Sewer Department: ¢ Should be running sewer to west lot line of lot 1, as discussed
with Sewer Department/Engineer.
e Engineering Department: ¢ 40’ width measurement of hammerhead seems to be out of
scale when comparing it to the 42’ depth label on south side of driveway. © This project
will need a SWPPP submitted to Engineering Department due to overall area of land
disturbance (approximately 3 acres). PRC Minutes January 5, 2023, Page: 3
°¢ Highway Department: ¢ General drainage patterns are north and west, no major
concerns.
The first one is just about the community development in regard to what the
subdivision actually is, and it is actually four additional fots. There are four lots all together,
instead of three.
The Fire Marshals comments, we provided just a wider driveway for what the owners wanted. If
we could go down to 12, we can do that as well to minimize and it will be a stone road to a
certain distance and then they will pave for when they get closer to the house, just for economics
the whole thing for the distance of the road. The owners are aware because of the distance of the
nearesl fire hydrant that they would have to sprinkler those two deeper lots which I believe are
lots three and four. The other two are close enough to the road and fire hydrant and his comment
Py, 33 /February 7, 2023 Planning Meeting
also was to add distances to the fire hydrants INAUDIBLE on the plans and there are fire
hydrants that are showing on the plans on both Philips Road and Lake Road.
Planning Board comments, | think it was located in a couple others about extending the sewer
that we are bringing across from Creeks Edge to the west so that someday it can be accessed by
the other lots to the west on Lake Road if the town ends up extending that and that 1s an casy
change to the plans. The comment about lot four being Jandlocked, it ts not. it might be a little
confusing by the line work with the easement that are on the subdivision plan but lot four is a
flag lot that goes to the back so there is an access.
That is not depicted on the plan.
Pardon me?
That is not depicted on the plan.
Yeah, the subdivision plan was drawn by Marathon Engineering, and they had it
incorrectly shown but on my site plans it is correct so ] will have them change that. This line
should go off to the main road so that, so | apologize for that. I just picked up on that. They did
the subdivision and survey work for me so. That can be easily changed but, on my plans, it
shows that and then I think there was one of the neighbors next door the subdivision to the south
asking and concerned about the drainage in his back yard for lot three, as he borders here.
(SHOWING ON THE PLANS) It is one of the lots around here and { explained to him that this
house here and it sits on a knob and the drainage around that house is all collected and brought
onto our property and everything else. This whole property all drains to the middle anyway.
Even with the drainage that I do and the grading changes that I do, I couldn’t do enough grading
to force water off this property if I tried. That is kind of the biggest problem and had issues with
trying to do septic systems on the properly to begin with so.
If you say the water drains to the center of the property, are they going to establish a
retention pond?
This is not a grading plan, but this is a low spot in here and we are able to drain it to
DOTS right of way. We have a ditch line and then an end section that goes into a structure and
the county DOT has already reviewed and understands what is going on there too and | have
their comments and most of their comments were notations in nature. By grading, we were able
to relieve the drainage issue that the center of that property has that was left over the years from
farming. Your comment their along with the grading, we are maintaining as much buffer as we
can along that southern property linc, staying out of the side or rear setback......we are staying
out of the side setback. I know we don’t want to push it any closer because the person whose,
one of the owners is building on lot three and he doesn’t want to have any more/less buffer with
the houses to the rear cither so we minimized the grading as best as we could there for the
location of the house that they wanted.
The sewer department comment, again, was much like the Planning Boards comment about
sewer extending the sewer from this manhole here (SHOWING ON THE PLANS) to over here
Pg. 34 /February 7, 2023 Planning Meeting
so there is access to those lots someday whenever there is an extension. As far as the Enginecring
Department goes, Mary's comments there, yes, | can clean that up and the sizing of the
hammerhead. They have a typical sizing there and il’s a little bit bigger just by layout and
grading, but [can make that exactly 40 feet if that is what she needs. I know there was
discussions and Josh is aware with Mary about storm water management stuff and we have
plenty of room to do that and we are going to implement what we need on this property to be
able to handle any of the stormwater stuff. It’s not a full SWPPP that you are used to ona
commercial project. We can do some grading swales and stuff like that. Green info structure to
satisfy the storm water pollution prevention controls that are required by the DEC and then the
regulations that the town has further owned but its.... There is simple implementations that we
can add to the grading plan, and | do have a meeting set up with her on Thursday to go over
exactly what she is looking for but there is plenty of room to implement all that on the property.
Again, the Highway Department, there was questions about the drainage, and we have taken care
of all of those. As Iam looking down through here, these are much the same comments that were
reiterated above. The Building Department had a comment about the rear setback, and I can
change that because everything I am developing is all well within the setbacks outside of this
property here. It’s a little tighter than the other but you need setback there (? NOT CLEAR) but
that wasn’t the one they had a question about, and I can revise the stormwater management or the
access and the utilities. Also, Fire Marshal again with hammerhead comments which we can
easily change with the sizing that is provided here in these comments. Again, the Planning Board
comment about the landlocked parcel can be changed and all the easements are easily readily
available to be provided once the alignment for the sewers are approved. With that, 1 will open
for any questions from the board.
Is there any concern about this thing from Monroe County. I didn't quite understand
what they are looking for in here. Josh, do you know?
I think there was some question due to a former, proximity to a former agricultural
farm that is no longer used as agricultural that is no longer used as agricultural land. So, we may
have to do an agriculture data statement and submit that to the county but there were no other
major concerns or objections with the project. I know that they have already been in the loop on
this as Don has been working directly with them.
The project got submitted to them al the concept stage and I already had comments
back from John Raymond over at the county. He had a couple of notations and stuff, He said
submit plans for permits and [haven't gone to the board yet for preliminary and final so.
Are there any other questions? No, Well, this is a public hearing so we will open up
lo the public so if anyone is here and wants to speak on behalf or against this project, you can do
so. Come up to the podium and speak from the podium, give us your name and address.
Travis Lawrence at 1381 Lake Road: On your map, they still have it labeled as Lapresi
Landmark . We have been living there for about three years now, so Lam not sure why that
hasn't been updated. It's nota big deal. My question and my concern, is based on, may [use
your map? (applicant: yes) the contour map here, so my concern is, (WLEWING THE MAP)
Pe. 35 fPebruary 7. 2023 Planning Meeting
according to sheet three, the gentleman stated that he has a proposed swale drainage on lot four
but what 1am seeing on lot four on the backside, where they are proposing an exit for that parcel
that the drainage is also going to drain from the narth to my property to the three or four
adjacent properties right here because of the contour, grade and if they raive it anyniore, then
the possibility is we are going to have more water coming onto our properties and it's going to
raise our water table which | have already dealt with in the past three years of substantial
amount of water coming fron this parcel when they built the southernmost subdivision because it
is raided eight feet. So, ny concern is that our four parcels which Lam not going to speak for
them, but for my parcel alone, puts us almost two feet lower than where they are looking to build
ad house and where they have that knob. That drains right to us. So, all 1 amt asking is what they
proposed is to keep that water from draining onto our property and flooding its out.
If you look at the property that is here (SHOWING ON THE PLANS) there is a
knob that is right here, there is no grading happening here at all. This tree fine right here is where
he is cutting, here is the old tree line, so he is cutting only into this tree line for his house and
driveway and this area sits right here, this is a litle knob there and a knob back here and |
provided drainage from his house and goes around...... (RESIDENT-Travis Lawrence
SPEAKING BUT NOT CLEAR) Don Lewis: .yup, yup and this drainage comes to here and
goes back out to here and then there is a swale where it goes all the way out to here. So, anything
around...(RESIDENT-Travis Lawrence, INAUDIBLE. Don Lewis: Yes, it is very ungulated
area back in here but there is a 100 foot here that he is not touching of all these woods in here.
(RESIDENT-INAUDIBLE) Don Lewis: Yes, he doesn’t want to because initially he wanted to
put his house back here, but it is so wet back in there. (RESIDENT-Travis Lawrence: That is
what I was worried about that he was going to push back here. Don Lewis: Yes, but these are
two of the owners and this is the other owner, they are going to sale, and this is the one lot they
are going Lo sale to recoup cost. The two owners here, this one is right up on the knob, and you
can see he tried to push his close to here to try and get it out of that water and area back there.
They know it’s wet and like I said, we graded it, so we collected everything around the house;
piped it and there is a swale running from this all the way through the pipes and out to the DOT
right of way. It gets collected. (RESIDENT-Travis Lawrence: INAUDIBLE) Don Lewis: The
sewer comes from across the street and comes to this manhole here, and then they are putting
another manhole here and this is Creeks Edge here. RESIDENT-Travis Lawrence- yeah, this is a
force main. Don Lewis: No, across here they’ ve gol a gravity sewer manhole over here and we
are connecting on to that and it’s the first manhole from the intersection, So, we are running in to
here and boring across the road, manhole over here and then everybody has laterals that go to it.
That is all in the easement and that piece will be dedicated to the town. RESIDENT-Travis
Lawrence-Ok.
Ok, thank you. Is there anybody else wishing to comment on this? We have to
record this, so you have to speak at the podium and speak into the microphone. Give us your
name and address.
Jeff Mastowski at 1389 Lake Road: fs it possible for the properties on the north side of that line
on Lake Road to hook up to the sewers, on that property?
Pe. 36 /February 7, 2023 Planning Meeting
Yes, so the intent to extend the sewer all the along the south side of Lake Road to
the west edge of the lot that they are developing.
So, it's INAUDIBLE (not speaking clearly) (Both Jeff and Don Lewis viewing
the plans and discussing the sewer) Don Lewis is just reiterating what he said previously
regarding the connection of sewer.
We can work with the Sewer Department and get your neighbors together and see if
there is any interest in having it extended.
So, more than me interested in it?
Yes.
How many does it take?
If we are looking at extending the actual sewer district, you would need to get about
50% approval of the neighbors that would be considering doing it.
There is only like seven houses there on that line.
Yes, if you would like to explore and see what the options are and the approximate
cost, you could certainly reach out to our Sewer Department.
Is there any way to hook up to the lines coming into this property? (POINTING
AT THE PLANS}
NO, unfortunately not. Those are laterals, I believe.
You can’t hook into a lateral?
It is do-able on Lake Road and like he says, the Sewer Department can give you the
information on what you need to do but it is possible and that is why we are requesting that line
to be over there.
Ok.
Is there anyone else wishing to speak on this matter? If not, I will close the public
hearing and bring it back to the board.
How many acres of disturbance?
There is approximately three acres all together between the four lots that are being
developed. There is relicf in the regulations, the SWPPP regulations with residential situations
like this, 1Cs five acres under five lots....five lots or less ] should say, and the maximum of five
acres of development combined. Because like I said, these lots have more but these lots have
Py. 37 /February 7. 2023 Planning Meecung
way less as far as disturbance total, but the disturbance total is just about three acres, so it doesn't
fall under the full SWPPP requirements. There are some reliefs to all of the stuff you would
have to submit to the state. You can do. You can use the grading plan with erosion control
notes. A lot of notes that you put on a standard SWPPP plan, but you don’t have to go through
the full NOT to the state you would do a smaller NOI to the state. It stall gets watched and
monitored by the town and their SWPPP officials, but it doesn’t go to the full extent of the post
construction features that you would see in a typical bio-retention ponds all that kind of stuff.
They don’t. That stuff isn’t required, is more construction related storm water controls, the
erosion controls; the temporary seeding; stone check dams all that kind of stuff to kind of
minimize and control erosion on the site during construction. You just don’t have all those post
construction features, that stulf get eliminated as long as the disturbance is all taken care of then
we met with the INAUDIBLE. (Someone else talking at the same time)
And the process has been submitted to?
Well, we are having a meeting | believe on Thursday.
| have gone through a bunch of these in the Town of Penfield and towns in Wayne
County because developers do this situation so they can stay under that and they like the larger
estate lype lots like these are.
It’s a temporary construction control and right now you don’t see the
possibility they will end up changing? Impacting the layout that they show?
Not at this point
There might be some, like you know, I have swales that run along here, and you can
add features to the swales to help again, minimize to get under certain thresholds for the amount
of impervious and that is what they are always looking at. For the post construction it is always
the amount of impervious so there is some simple features J can add to this but again, Mary
knows that it is not post construction it’s more pre and during construction that they are focused
on with these smaller residential five lots under five acres disturbance projects, but it still gets
filed with the state until it is completed.
Any other questions or concerns from the board?
No
The drawing that I have it doesn’t depict lot INAUDIBLE. You have a different
drawing, right?
Pardon me?
The drawing you have is different from the one we have?
Pg. 38 /February 7, 2023 Planning Meeting
The one that I have is the same one that you have. You have the |! x !7 and these
are the same drawings. Like I said, it is a matter of depiction. The long line needs to be added to
show that itis a flag lot that is all.
Ok.
But the description will be written for it, and it will be covered by the private access
and utility easement for those two lots and the common drive.
This ts the map that will be filed for the subdivision?
That is correct with that revision. It will be the one that gets filed with the County
Clerks Office.
Yes, it is showing correctly on sheet three for some reason but on the first page it is
slightly different. So, 1am assuming that the configuration on sheet three is the final one.
Yes, I sent them my line work and [ think Doug just didn’t pay attention to that and
the reason why it doesn’t get picked up on the utility plan because there 1s an easement that cuts
off that lot too. It lays right on top of that same alignment and kind of makes it look tike that to,
so it looks a bit confusing when it comes to the easement work so.
Ok, any more questions?
I guess with that in mind, do we want to see the final sheet before we do the
final? Preliminary is fine but....
This 1s preliminary.
It is advertised as preliminary and final.
No, it’s not. Itis just for preliminary.
Ok sorry, I skipped to the next one.

1114 PARKSIDE DRIVE ACCESSORY APARTMENT: Located at 1114 Parkside Drive.
Applicant Michael Kadysh is requesting PRELIMINARY / FINAL SITE PLAN APPROVAL
AND ACCESSORY APARTMENT WAIVERS (
PUBLIC HEARING
) associated with the
legalization of an existing accessory apartment and waiver request for overall size and to
maintain access to unit from existing door at the front of the structure on a 0.73-acre parcel
having SBL# 093.07-1-53.1 located in an R-3 Single Family Residential District under Sections
269-41 and 350-50 of the Code of the Town of Webster.
Appearing before the board was Michael Kadysh at 67 Horizon Drive. Iam asking for 1114
Parkside Drive to legalize single family home with an accessory apartment, Just to be legalized
and leave third door as it 1s on the building.
Ok, this application the applicant came in awhile ago and this board wanted him to
go back and get a licensed engineer to draw a set of plans that we could work with and see what
is going on here. The understanding is that the only people that are going to be living in this are
family members and il is certainly not going to be a rental unit outside of that. The question
about the doors, my question was do we need that center door in the hallway, and can we
eliminate one of the doors and the Fire Marsha! felt that it should stay the way it is because of the
configuration of the floor plan. His concerns were any residents were being able to get out and
get oul quickly. So, that was his comment to me about that. Does anyone have any questions
before we open it up?
Our concern last time was related to keeping everything separate Jike you could
easily not have it be a family member right, tf 1 recall.
Well, when it first came in it was three kitchens; three separate units and we didn’t
want three kitchens. We didn’t want it shown to be a three family, so they drew it without the
kitchen in the lower Jevel and the main house is the matin house and the accessory building is the
accessory building. My understanding, this accessory apartment was built several years back .
I have no idea, we bought it as Is.
That is a question of mine, how did that ever get through without permits.
According to the neighbors before when they spoke at the last meeting, the family
members there just did it themselves for other family members if | remember it correctly.
It has never had an approval for il.
Correct. It was constructed without permits around 2010 is when tt came to the
town’s attention.
Yes, we thought it would be a good reason to get it legal.
So, it’s preexisting that is for sure. Ok, any questions before I open it up?
Py. 43 /February 7. 2023 Planning Meeting
How many furnace units are in that house?
Two
And the utilities are one single utility, right?
One furnace for the main house and one for the accessory apartment.
But a single utility service?
Yes. All the utilities are single.
Ok, Let’s open it up to the residents and we will go from there. So, anyone wishing
to speak, please go to the podium and stale your name and address.
John Falco at 1099 Parkside: T have a couple of pictures to help with a fittle visualization of the
property if that is ok. (HANDS OUT PICTURES OF PROPERTY) You spoke just a little about
the last planning meeting in September and I believe the tistructions for 114 (1141 T think he
meant to say) was to have an open structure that may accommodate like an in-law apartment;
only two front doors; the one utility service; and almost like an open wail use of the house so it
wasn’t segregated to a separate family unit. Looking over the plans, | interrupt, | am looking ata
two bedroom; two bathroom; two complete kitchens; Lam sorry, two full baths; one room
storage and mystery two back rooms. | am not sure if there is going to be further bedrooms or
whatever, but this looks like to me, a complete separate apartment. It’s a large house, Twill
admit that, but we have to look at the wrongs of the past and present. Two, three wrongs don’t
make aright. The fact ts it is zoned for single family residential district. If looks like to me; the
left side of the garage was boarded up that you can see in the pictures; a full wall separates it
from the main house, and we have a stand-alone apartment that is at least two bedrooms and two
baths and two mystery rooms in the back.
You can’t send a message to the netghborhood that any of us can close off our garage; put up
some walls; remodel and now have income property. | would certainly like to have income
property, but Pcannot. It is because it is net zoned for that and it wouldn't be hard to convert my
2200 square foot split with a 600 square foot garage, close it off and I have income property and
f have neighbors with bigger splits than me. What is to stop them or the next owner from doing
that. You can not send that message to the neighborhood. [am also concerned with sometime in
the future, this family that we talk about, grows, moves, or wins the lottery and takes off. The
neighborhood is stuck with an apartnent for anyone to rent. [tis no longer defined as family.
So, again, lets take out the emotions, stick with some facts. It’s a single-family residential
district and it can not be changed. The house was sold, was vacant and boarded up for six years
or eight years, don’t know how long. twas sold last year. Ht had two garages: doors in the
front, ne other door, It had a living accommodations for a family. That is net what is on the
table right now, The other thing | wanted to mention, ts the application says, existing accessory
apartment and existing exterior door. 1 know the definition of existing, but it didn’t exist last
year, it does exist now, but it didn’t exist last year, So, we have not stopped what we were
Pe. 44 /February 7. 2023 Planning Meeting
supposed to do and keep it as a single family. So again, let me just reiterate, take the emotion
out, it's single-family resident and you must not take the proposal or waiver. Thank you,
Ok, anybody else?
(f can not understand name) lives on Parkside Drive and living
there for over 50 year. This is a single-family residential area. We can not allow apartinent to
be there, as simple as that. Thank you.
You don’t understand, even though it is a single-family residence zoning that there
is the existence of being able to have an accessory apartment. We have single family homes all
over this town with accessory apartments and it’s for in-laws and family members, so it is not a
two-family zoning, but single family does allow for accessory apartment. The question I have I,
this addition was built 12 years ago. No permits, no neighbors mentioned any, and you didn’t
have any concerns at the time?
Michael Wojcik at 1111 Parkside Drive: The apartment used to be a garage so that whole side
as you are looking at that house to the right, used to be the Tamino's and they used to race a lot
of cars back in the, we have to be talking 60-70s. They got out of car racing business and the
town was very happy because they made a lot of noise with the cars. Out of the car business, one
of then had a child that needed a place to site, they put a couple of walls up; puta couple beds
in there and that was the starting of the apartment as we say. After they left out, TP think there was
a mother in-law that moved in and stayed there until the house was vacant. So, that is the history
of how that got done.
So, it has been an accessory apartment since then.
It has been, and 1 don’t know the legality of tt, | just know when we moved in it
was already an apartinent and we moved in, in
95. Just two questions, very siniple. Pm sure you
can answer it ina minute. The difference between an RI Single Family and R3 Single Family.
Essentially, it is just the dimensional requirements. So, lot area; minimum lot area
of the setbacks and things of that nature.
Ok and last time we were here, the in-law apartment was being thrown arotund,
every other sentence. They were using the terminology, accessory apartment. [Is there any
difference between the two terminologies or are they the same?
They are pretty much interchangeable. The term used in our code is accessory
apartment.
O§ a little bit more professional. Thank you.
Ok, anyone clse?
Py. 45 /February 7, 2023 Planning Meeting
Meghan Scott at 1109 Parkside Drive: 1 just have a couple questions on the plans so, in the back
you know, you walk down the hall and there are tose two areas stated as rooms. So, what will
those two are they... and I know that a bedroont has to have a closet in it, correct? Is that what
constitutes a room when you are doing architectural plans is a closet?
From what I know, the first room in the back is at the end of the hallway. It is
designated as part of the main structure so it could be a den; another family room; that type of
thing but that is designated to be part of the main structure. The other room, it could be a living
room; they have a kitchen and I think that, that backroom would probably suffice as a living
room,
Ok and so the dimensions; square footage for a standard in law apartment are
what, E think it was like 800 square feet?
750
750 square feet so what is the square footage for this accessory apartnent?
So, the code has two size provisions, so it is either a maximum of 35 % of the gross
floor area of the main house or 750 square feet. Which ever is less. So, this is a fairly large
house, 35 % of the gross floor area of the house would allow them to have up to 1508 square
feet. However, what is being proposed is 1042 square feet which is over the maximum of 750,
So that accessory apartment is almost as big as my split-level house, that is not
an accessory apartment. That ts a whole separate unit.
Well, the house , the primary house is quite large to begin with.
Yeah, [ live right across from it so as Mike was giving the history of it, there ts
two rooms that back up INAUDIBLE located rooms, there is another hook up for a bathroom
right there. There is another hook up for a full kitchen. All those lines are in place. How is the
fown going to insure that it remains a single family and in in-law and that it doesn’t get it turned
into, you know, three separate apartments which was the original plan before the neighbors got
wind that this was trying to be done without legal permits from the town.
Weil, could say that they will be required to file an accessory apartment
agreement that states who is living in the structure and that will have to get filed with Monroc
County Clerks office and now obviously if owners change or the occupants of that apartment
change, then they are required to notify the town in the event that it didn’t take place, | am pretty
confident that we would get calls from neighbors to notify us and then we would take the
appropriate action.
Ok, thank you for answering amy questions.
I have a question, is that large room in the back is that part of the accessory
apartment? Is that included in the square footage?
Pg. 46 /February 7. 2023 Planning Meeting
For the purpose of the calculation, that I did, yes. I did include that.
Ok.
Do you envision that functioning as more of the primary home or part of the
accessory apartment?
INAUDIBLE enough room there so if some guest or something, it is Just going
lo be easier that they have a play area and bathroom right there (SON SPEAKING): and
everything and there is no hook up for another kitchen. The inspector has been to the place, and
he has seen there is no way to do an additional kitchen over there and we did not run any water
lines. Where it use to be, the third kitchen, it is out, it is no more. We are not doing it so.
no water, no kitchen.
If this came in and that whole accessory apartment was before us to be built, we
wouldn’t do it ok, but it is existing, and [ am very hesitant to talk about tearing the building
down or apart in order to accommodate the situation.
What 1s the recourse of the town, if someone else moves into this?
Technically, it would be a violation of this boards approval so I would imagine,
have the authority to act upon that violation.
What does that mean?
We would bring them into court. Serve them with a notice of violation and then
they would have to come to court.
Does that resident of the accessory apartment, that has to be a relative of the owner
of the people in the main part of the house?
I beHeve that is the intent however i's not explicitly stated in the code.
So, somebody not related could move in there?
Yes, | believe so but that is why one of the requirements to have direct un *****#
access in between the two. So that it doesn’t lend itself to that sort of situation.
So another questions, the house was purchased under the agreement of owner
occupancy and | know the last time we were here, there was kind of conflicting stories as to who
was actually going to be living in the main quarter and then who was going to be living in the
other quarters because we did google searches and 87 Horizon, 67 Horizon Drive, it’s a LLC
that is used to register, | think, seven different properties and then the other address in
Webster...there is another address for your brother that | think is used to register another four
properties within Monroe County. So, that is part of our concern is that obliviously you
Pg. 47 /February 7, 2023 Planning Meeting
gentleman,..God bless you, EL wouldn't want to be responsible for any other property besides
mine, but you guys have nudtiple properties within the City of Rochester and that ts where are
neighbors are really concerned is what's not to say that this is just going to become another
property where, [think the board has brought that concern to the attention. Like how are we
going to know or how are we going to prevent ok you live there for a year and peace P'm out and
you sale it to someone else and now we have two apartments in our neighborhood and just
speaking from personal experience, fam a family of law enforcement. f have seen what happens
to house, right on Old Ridge that are three, four-bedroom apartments. It’s not pretty and we are
glad that you fixed up the house, it looks wonderful. We are real appreciative to that but want to
make sure that we are maintaining the integrity and character of the neighborhood. You know
ay friends come over and they are astonished and amazed about how many people are out
walking and that is really what we are trying to preserve and just adding two separate
apartments could be detrimental in a lot of ways to this neighborhood. So, we just want to assure
that it is going to be owner occupancy and that it is going to be a family members that are
residing in that other side of the house and you know we are relying on the town to help us with
that because we are stuck, and this ts out voice tonight and after that let bygones be bygones.
What is going to be done is going to be done but we are hoping that you hear outside of the story
and you guys hear our side of the story. We are not jerks, we are not mean, like | said, we will
sit down, drink Vodka and have beers, whatever. We just want to make sure that this is going to
be a positive situation for everybody involved. You know, lwas....... The last guy that was up
here, with the neighborhood. The guy had a question, he came up and explained and everything
was good. Like I said, the trust initially was kind of rocked a little bit and we want to be able to
trust at what you are telling us is the truth.
1:26:33 Who is the owner of the property?
My younger son who 1s a truck driver and to be here, he would have to miss a
whole week of work but yes, we are in the Real Estate business, and we never said we don’t. |
have lived in my house for over 25 years right now at 67 Horizon. My son, lives in Webster
from the moment we bought the house and we rehabilitated and from that moment, he stayed in
that house. Also, it is very close to our houses this location and you as neighbors see how much
we pul only for outside, we are not going to do that for rental property. It’s Just so much money
that we put in it for outside design and taking the water out of the house; concrete floor with
three concrete trucks we put there and all this beautiful landscape, not cheap, we put it there. For
rental?
(not close to mic) If anyone would like to come see out rental properties
INAUDIBLE and we do have rentals in suburb areas, you guys are welcome, and we would take
you for a tour just so you Know how we are as landlords. There are landlords and then “there are
landlords”. INAUDIBLE what we do but this particular property ts for our brother, and it nyakes
no financial sense INAUDIBLE to this property INAUDIBLE.
So, your son who’s the truck driver is going to be living in that house? The main
occupant?
Yes, about two wecks from now and they are going to have a baby,
Py. 48 /February 7. 2023 Planning Mecting
Whose going to live there, and his name ts?
My brother, Edward.
And he is listed as the owner of the property?
Yes, he is owner of the property.
Alright, I just wanted to understand that and it’s his relatives moving
in.
Yes, with his wife and maybe his wife’s parents.
So; you guys are here on behalf of him.
That is what we do, we are in the business.
INAUDIBLE make sure it stays family occupied in the future.
INAUDIBLE...(not using the mic)
Ok, anyone else? If not, | am closing the public hearing and bring it back to the
board.
INAUDIBLE problems that we are running into. We have a house that was
modified by a previous owner a long time ago and the map and I really don’t know the history of
this survey map because this looks like it is copied off of the original subdivision drawing for it
and it is dated 1965 and has notes on it about existing additions; existing accessory apartinents;
so, when you go and look at this map, it’s dated 1965. It shows that anything that is sticking off
the back side of the house were additions that were put on al some point, including the two
rooms that people have been having a concern about. They were put on the back behind the
garage at some point so one of the things that I find really incredible is, is my understanding is
no building permits were ever issued for this scale of construction on this house and how do we
actually rectify that. Unfortunately, you bought a mess. How we as a board fix this, it is more of
an administrative procedure then anything else. There should have been property permits issued.
The addition on the back where it is saying room number one is considered part of the primary
building, well that’s not truc. It show on the map of the supposed parcel that they were additions
off the back. So, the square footage of this addition is huge. I mean, I have heard stories of
those additions along the back was actually put in to try and get house to meet the code. When
the code says the accessory apartment, you ave to have an internal access from one building ¢
another and it was some persons creative way of wrapping around the garage of tying the two
houses together. 1:32:00 so it turned out to be an addition instead of an accessory apartment but
regardless, the layout of this plan there is much more square footage on here as an accessory
building and it kind of leaves us in a position of is this really to a point , the size wise to make it
legalized. Are we able to grant a waiver or does this have to go to the Zoning Board to get a
variance for its size to make truly legal. The other question that I have on it too, is that 1 do
Pe. 49 /February 7, 2023 Planning Meeting
know from the pictures from the things I have seen, and you look on Google earth you see the
iwo garage doors and then the one garage door disappeared after you purchased it and then the
interior wall that is showing on the drawing prepared by Dave Chandler, that wasn’t existing
when the house was purchased. That was constructed as part of renovations that ultimately
started this whole thing. There were two garage doors and I have seen, | think in your previous
application before, it looks like someone had converted one of the garages al some point to live
in a garage and it had a galley kitchen off the back of it.
No, INAUDIBLE door right into a wall so it had no function INAUIDBLE it
was sealed in the back . There is a wall and so that is why we move.
Never saw the garage door open it just disappeared one day. | do see... so the
layout of this thing it was done as way to make it conform to the code. You have this hallway
from the center door that comes in. The thing you have to understand with this house is it’s a
split level on one side, not split level, raised ranch and so the stairs up are going to the second
level down to the first level, so this hallway connects those things and connect into room one.
Room one in the back that was part of an addition according to this thing. They tie together and
wrap around the garage. It’s a creative way to interconnect and make it conform with the code.
As Dave mentioned, the Fire Marshal, the question about the three doors on the front, it does
look funny. It winds up being from the Fire Marshals perspective, it ends up being an egress
method. You know, people in the house, distance to the door.
The Fire Marshal was pretty adamant about that though.
While it is something that is not normal, the code also says that an accessory
apartment, the doors can’t be on the front, but they can be on the side, and you can get
permission to do otherwise. This particular thing, it wouldn't accommodate a door on the side,
and we have waivers on that. What Iam wondering though, this is more...what did you figure,
| 000-1100 square foot addition?
The backrooms are shared rooms.
The true size of the accessory apartment is everything thal wraps around the
garage, and I don’t know the answer to this. | have to ask, for this size are we as a board able to
grant a waiver or does this have to go to the Zoning Board to get a variance?
No, the code explicitly grants the power of waiving any of these requirements to the
Planning Board, So, unless it is a setback variance this would not require any variances from the
Zoning Board,
A follow up on that too. Setbacks, again getting back to the site plan, which
lines are considered the side lots, which is the rear line because that would change the amount of
space for the setback and whether or not this parcel would have to have a setback variance . For
example, is the south property line, is that considered a side lot line or ts it considered a rear lot
fine. Considering this is an odd lot on a corner and the house ts at an angle. If that is considered
Pg. 50 /February 7, 2023 Planning Meeting
a side lot, then yes it needs a setback variance if the setback requirements is considered a rear lot
line, then you have to have 50 feet there and it will need a variance.
Yes, ] determined that to be the side lot line. It is very specified for these unique
shaped lots, there is a couple different ways you can consider it but since the way i Is situated on
the lot facing Parkside rather than Tyra, | considered the south property line to be the side and
the east property would be the rear and the western portion would be the front and then it extends
from the side walls of the house. So, that is kind of how you determine front side rear for these
very uniquely shaped lots.
Do you know the history of this tape plan?
This was actually on file at town hall. This is what we had associated with the
record of this property and unfortunately that ts the only...... I don’t believe you received a
survey map when you purchased it through the auction, so this is the only map that was readily
available if this property.
Do we know what else was in that file?
No, this was strictly in our filing cabinet of survey maps. It wasn’t a file on the
property per say but it was in our inventory of survey maps.
The town doesn’t have a file of past applications that may have been denied on
this parcel?
No. The only other file that I was able to find was the record assessment card
which has the dimensions of the footprint and various notations over the years. I believe it was
actually our Assessment Department that discovered these additions that were constructed
without permits. There was a notification sent to the Building Department at that time and for
whatever reason it doesn’t appear to have been acted upon at that time unti! these genldeman
came along .
You have a sense on when or how long ago that was?
According to the assessment card, it was picked up by the town in 2010. That is
when it was first discovered. The additions that were added without permits.
Because these additions have been on here a lot longer than 2010 . So, I guess
when I look at it, | see a property....... at the last mecting you came in with various requests and
one of them was to do away with the one door, the Fire Marshal likes the door. We requested
the removal of one of the kitchens to make it, so it is a specific single-family home in the main
Structure and also made sure that the accessory permil was a truce accessory apartment.
son of Michael Kadysh: We took two bedroom and converted it into one upstairs in the main
building to make like a master bedroom, if you sec it over there.
Pe. 51 /February 7. 2023 Planning Meeting
Yes, there are fewer bedrooms in the house now then there were before. Sa, the
plans were prepared by a licensed architect who has been tn the house, It meets what we asked
for before, but I guess just personally, the size and again, iUs an administrative thing we do have
the ability to do the waiver on it, so.
Yes, | wouldn’t be trying to look at them to demolish part of the property.
(not loud enough) I wouldn’t see the need
| would say we create a waiver. Ok, any other questions?
Can we prep like an administrative, I don’t know, I am shooting spaghetti at the
wall at this point, like to prevent what the concern is that this is going to get sold at some point,
which it will, it’s a house. So, this will get sold at some point and become rental property like
two distinct non-family properties which would be super-duper easy with this. Just close that
wall out between the two back rooms.
Unfortunately, with the way the layout ts, it would be very easy to change this,
and no one would know from the outside. How would you protect against that?
But that certainly would be illegal, and somebody would have to pay the price once
it is discovered. Plus, they have to file an affidavit with the town and the county that it is an
accessory apartment. If they sell the property, the new owner also has to file the same affidavit
so somebody can’t say, well, I thought it was a two family and that is what I’m using it as. It is
an accessory apartment, and that affidavit has to follow.
J think I need to be ok with that. | don’t think we are demoing a house or part of
the house.
No, I think they have demonstrated that they are not doing things on the cheap and
that they are not doing things that are detrimental. They have done a good job cleaning this mess
up and this has been an eye sore for years and years and years. As long as they are going to use
it the way that they said that they are going to use it and they should be really good neighbors.
As you said, the plumbing and the hardware that was in the lower kitchen is all
gone.
We didn’t run anything INAUDIBLE. (Both partics speaking at the same time.
Applicant and son)
From the pictures you sent in this house was gutted at some point, All the
copper is gone. Was there any wire left?
They had a boiler system with copper tines, and they just cut
everything.
Pg. 52 /February 7, 2023 Planning Meeting
That is why initially, we were asking from separate meter because it was easier
for us to put electric boards, that was the only reason but when we were told no, so that is when
we installed gas furnace and air conditioner.
I don’t have any other concerns.
So, we would have to do a waiver INAUDIBLE waiver don’t we?
There would be two waiver involved associated with the third door and the overall
size. Just to clarify again, in that 1042 square fect total, I did include both of the back rooms as
part of the accessory structure so that square footage is reflective of those two spaces. If the
board feels that one or more of those rooms belong to the other part, that would change the
overall size but the way that I viewed it was that it was part of the accessory structure.
That is consistent with this.
Correct.
Do we do the waiver in the approval?
Yes, the motions for approval for the location and the waivers would be included in
the motion.
Ok, any thoughts?
Let’s move forward.
Do we have to do a SEOR on this?
| have one.

(Mark Giardina read the tenth application):
TAKE 5 OIL CHANGE: Located at 1045 Ridge Road. Applicant Woods Oviatt Gilman LLP is
requesting SKETCH PLAN REVIEW associated with a proposed 1,600 SF oil change facility
and related site improvements on a 1.25-acre parcel having SBL# 079.15-1-8.009 in an MC
Medium Intensity Commercial District under Section 269-5 of the Code of the Town of Webster.
Appearing before the board was Betsy Brugg, I am with Woods Oviatt Gilman, and it is a
pleasure to be here. Last on the agenda and with me, Brian McKinnon for the property owner.
Iam assisting Quatro Development with their project and they are interested and have under
contract this small piece of property at 1045 Ridge Road. Brian knows more about it as he is the
properly owner. He has been here previously with, most recently with the Self-Storage that was
constructed right behind, not exactly essentially, but right behind his property. This is really the
last remaining piece that the property owner has there,
What we are proposing is for construction of a TAKE 5 Qil Change. It | sort of a unique piece of
property, and they have had it on the market and Brian can tell you more, for quite some time.
There has been very little interest in the property for a typical type of retail and [am sure you are
all familiar with it. It’s a little bit down the street but not too far from the town hall so hopefully
you all had a chance to look at it before tonight. We are starting tonight with the concept
application. We wanted to bring this in and get some feedback from the board before we got into
full design and engineering so, we have not retained a Civil Engineer yet to start working on this
project. I wanted to get some feed back in terms of how the board feels about the use on this
property and kind of an idea of how this would fit and how the site plan would lay out.
So, as you Know, you approved a Self-Storage Facility back in 2021. You might have secn that
this application came in and then it was withdrawn. That is because Quatro Development, my
client was not...... There was a disconnect and they were not aware that the Planning Board has
Pg. 56 /February 7. 2023 Planning Meeting
placed a condition on the approval for the self-storage that this property would not have its own
curb cut and would share access through the Bruster’s driveway. So, as a result, | pulled their
application and original site plan and they have now submitted a plan that utilizes shard access
and consistent with some of the goals of the Comprehensive Plan to have access management
and address some of the issues with the smaller properties on Ridge Road. A desire to seek cross
access between properties and desire to see fewer curb cuts. So, I believe that was a condition
that we need to deal with, with this parcel which makes it somewhat less desirable for some other
retailers that you might find on Ridge Road. This property sits next to Brusters. Between
Brusters and ESL and it is about | 4 acres is size and in the MC zoning district and kind of in a
mixed-use area.
The plan that we submitted has a perpendicular building orientation and you all have a copy I
assume in your packets. We went with that orientation because that has generally been the
preference of the board in the past. We did receive some PRC comments and I did note, I think
someone involved in the PRC... we did get the PRC comments, why don’t I just go through
them. (SEE PRC COMMENTS ATTACHED BELOW)
1045 Take 5 Oil Change:
Community Development:
© Initial proposal submitted in December but was withdrawn.
® Revised proposal submitted shows elimination of Ridge Rd. curb cut and connection
fo Bruster's driveway, per a past Planning Board condition of approval (Life Storage)
and re-orientation of building so that bay doors do not face Ridge Road.
© Application for sketch plan review was resubmitted for 3-bay oil change facility and
will be presented on at the February 7th Planning Board meeting.
© Differing opinions amongst staff on building orientation; some think bays should
face Ridge Road, while others disagree.
Planning Board:
° Ridge Road facade is unattractive, lacks detail; needs to be significantly dressed up
with faux window(s), relief, or other architectural elements such as stone, accentuating
landscaping, etc.
© Low impact use in terms of traffic generation.
© Notin favor of red band being shown on elevation drawings
So, I explained why it was withdrawn. It is a three bay oil change facility. It is the
type of operation that the vehicle pulls in and the customer stays in car and they are there for a
very short time. It is a very low traffic generating use which is what makes it so perfect for this
location. It is complimentary to the area and that is a low traffic generating use, 30-40 customers
a day if they do well. Let’s see, so we gave you the corrected plan and submission that you have
in terms of the required shared access. (A LOT PAPERS RATTLING, NOT APPLICANT) there
were some different opinions among staff on building orientation. Some things they should face
Ridge Road and I did bring a plan with me today, if you would like to see that. We did throw
that option together and it actually would have been the preference of TAKE 5 but we went with
the perpendicular orientation because generally that has been the preference of the Planning
Board, but we are completcly flexible.
Pg. 57 /February 7, 2023 Planning Meeting
The Ridge Road fagade, there are some comments on the architecture and again, they haven't
retained a full design team on this project. I just got these comments Friday or yesterday, Lam
not sure when [ got them. I just got them so, I quickly let them know that they did give me an
elevation that [can share with you. Again, we are completely flexible about making some
changes to the architecture. They went with a brick building. That is generally Planning Boards
preference. They have tried to add some architectural elements to kind of spruce it up and dress
up the building. They are absolutely open to doing more to look the way you would want it to
look.
Again, just in response to your comments, again, this can be refined after an architect is brought
in. There was a comment about the traffic. Yes, this is a low traffic generating type of use and
there were some comments about the red band being shown on the elevations. That is just a
branding element. Again, this is a concept plan, and we certainly look at what other options there
are and take any feed back that the board may have on what you would like to see. I would say,
the red band kind of goes with what Brusters has on the adjacent property and really not all that
different from what Brusters has and that is in a nutshell about 16...yeah, the building is
relatively small and about 1600 feet; three garage bays; there hours of operation are typical not
full retail hours but it’s 7-8 Mondays thru Friday; 7-7 on Saturdays; 9-5 on Sundays. Some like
a daytime type of operation (Board members speaking loudly while applicant is presenting.
Hard to hear) Services are somewhat limited. Oil changes; tire pressure checks; topping off of
fluids; coolant; air cabin filters; and wiper blade replacements. So, that is sort of the menu of
what they offer. There is definitely a demand in the market. That is how these uses end up
looking for locations on Ridge Road.
We are sort of in a mixed use and mixed zoning kind of area. The site has been on market for
some time and one of the reasons and I think Brian has more experience with the marketing of
the property, but we are not on a traffic signal; we don’t have our own driveway and relatively
small; it’s not surrounded by the newest types of retail uses, We have Brusters next door, a
bank. A lot of retailers are looking for certain criteria when they chose a site. They are looking
for that traffic signal, they are looking for corner, they are looking for tenants that will
compliment their business and I think for that reason the property sits vacant today and hasn't
been picked up before this. It seems to be a great location for what TAKE 5 wants to do. Again,
it is a low traffic generating use and they are obviously willing to work with the Planning Board
to give you the site plan that you would like to see. This isn’t preliminary, again, it’s just a
concept plan. So, we are here for your feedback and your comments and thoughts.
I just want to ask my colleagues, what 1s your thoughts on the color and design
of the building? The red roof and the red stripe?
I am not fond of the red stripe.
Ok, so Lam not alone on that. | am doing a little fishing expedition here before |
say this is this, ] just want to see what other people think.
Derek Andersom So, | have a couple things | want to talk about. Since you started the building,
one thing I think as a board, it would be great if we can have shown on these drawings is
Py. 58 /February 7, 2023 Planning Meeting
acellular exterior lighting, so you don’t wind up with something like what we had on Ridge Road
for the outline of the building, the Country Max. When they forget to turn off their lights on at
night and you have the entire building lit with Christmas Tree lights surrounding the entire
outside perimeter of it and then don’t get into the situation where there ts interior lighting, like
some car washes that may be in the area that wind up lighting the whole entire neighborhood. It
is not stuff that gets caught as a lighting plan We ask for a Betsy Brugg: So, I explained why it
was withdrawn. It is a three bay oil change facility. It is the type of operation that
plan and it winds up being interrupted of where light poles go but we have enough buildings that
started going up and this light beam coming off he is building, these extreme down lighting from
underneath caves and stuff. I think these plans, mu opinion...ought of start showing that type of
information beyond packet lights on the side. INAUDIBLE so you can see it from ten miles
away. It does take you by surprise because it is not something that we ask about or even think to
ask about. The red, the colors like that it is not really consistent with what we like seeing in the
town INAUDIBLE other people talking. One thing I do.....the site plan itself, I have a slightly
different recollection of this then you do and I am looking at the board and I think Dave would
have probably been part of the conversation and John and yourself, that is all that is left right
now that the site has been through multiple, multiple iterations of ownership over the years and
so INAUDIBLE approved was the self-storage building and I specially remember during the site
plan reviews for that, that this parcel had been sub-divided administratively before the self-
storage building even came in and I remember it because I wasn’t too happy about it because it
was done something.. you know, here as a Planning Board we had an idea of what this site was
supposed to be over the years and then all of sudden this parcel is subdivided off separately and
there has been over the years and also associated with the self-storage the driveway. What
driveway is being used for the access to the facilities and to the west of Brusters that driveway al
one lime was going to be three and half four lanes wide. It was going to serve this entire
commercial complex in the back. Various approvals had been given, actually Brusters driveway
to go away and have access to this new driveway going off the road. No consideration to what is
going on here. This configuration | don’t ever remember discussions about. | think you are off
one parcel in those notes. The access was supposed to be the main access coming into the sel f-
storage facility and that was going to be shared by Brusters. When yours came in for subdivision
they changed it again. So, you had your own driveway, and you did want to make sure to
maintain parking in the back and you worked with them on that. Also, off of that driveway there
is another lot that 1s to the west that at one time il was an eye doctor or something that came in...
SOMEONE FROM THE AUDIENCE SPEAKING OUT, NOT AT THE MIC.
Geicreco bought #1 to build a dentist office there
Right and that was supposed to have access to this driveway that went back to
the self-storage area. That was all part of preliminary plans on it. If you want to go back far
cnough the self-storage area when the original approvals were given before the self-storage the
previous lot before that, that had access to easements and everything on it and showing
connection over to behind Wendy’s . The Engincer or the owner at that time never filed that
paperwork . Its one of those casements where they are supposed to have been there and they
disappeared. Because your lot and sclf-storage was supposed to be tied over to that secondary
road that has been extended across but people didn’t file the easements. They said they were
Pg. 59 ‘February 7, 2023 Planning Meeting
going to, but they didn’t do it, doesn’t matter on this but F think this concept of having this
driveway going into Brusters, this is an absolutely no go because Brusters...l wouldn't want to
see your business wind up using Brusters driveway because of the access to Ridge Road.
INAUDIBLE J have been involved Bob Green since we have built Webster
Green Apartments and subdivided and sold to Conifer for the senior apartments. We are on the
same team the property line for this subject parcel and their site runs right in the middle of the
driveway so when we asked for the boards support for the self-storage, that lot that you describe
on how that was administratively done, that was before out time so when we were looking to do
the self-storage we had already met with Brusters and we have got a great relationship and we
said listen, we are going to put a small little curb cut off of Ridge Road just for the self-storage
And the Dr, Giangreco to the extent that he ever develops his building, he will have the use of
that and then we have given them an easement for that.
And that is consistent INAUDIBLE (BOTH PARTIES SPEAKIN AT THE
SAME TIME)
So, we are helping Dr. Giangreco site by having that curb cut already in. We
have paid for all of that, but he’s got a curb cut. We got together with Brusters and the board
basically told us , we want to limit curb cuts on Ridge Road so we agreed and probably didn’t
have a lot of choice but that is fine but we are happy with out project and it turned out really nice
and we went to Brusters and said listen, we have this fot line that runs right down the middle of
our properties, we are going to use that to access this parcel in question tonight because we are
not going to come in and ask for a second curb cut for our own parcel because it 1s so marrow and
so small and the board at the time that we did the self-storage, encouraged us to use that shared
access with Brusters. So., we got tighter and said, we both win. We improve the access; we
don’t have another curb cut for this tiny litle Jot and now we found someone, as she said it is
very difficult to market it. We found someone now that says I don’t need my own curb cut. |
am happy going in off of Brusters and turning left, so that is the history to it,
So, my recollection is a little different it sounds like.... If you both are on
board with it. Because | kind of remember it being a little bit different.
(NOT AT THE MIC) It was scary at first and we discussed everything
and worked il out. The egress INAUDIBLE to cycle around ......By the way, Mary Amato,
Brusters Ice Cream, 1041 Ridge Road. You can go in with Life Storage if we ever had
emergency vehicles or anything else coming around there not going to get tramped behind the
store on a short one way. They can now come up Life Storage, exit our driveway or up our
driveway and exit Life Storage. So, il’s safety of everyone involved and I was really happy when
] saw the original plans with the curb cut and then it was withdrawn and | was like yes, they saw
the casement.
Because I know that does have an existing curb cut.
Ok, it was only a public hearing tonight.
Pg. 60 /February 7, 2023 Planning Meeting
Mary Amato, Brusters Ice Cream, 1041 Ridge Road: [ have one question I would like to ask
them. INAUDIBLE knows about the property because ] want to know and | think Brian will
understand, where your building ts going to sit in relation to my building and what the setback is
going to be . Are we going to be equal in setback or if it’s standard, am I going to be blocked,
that kind of thing and so that is my concern. Totally off INAUDIBLE but LOVE THE RED
STRIPE!
Mark Giardina; The second question that I have about the building. I will feave the red stripe
along. I notice you have, which I believe they are lights. They are little black squares
surrounding and it’s on page Al.o0. Are those lights? And if so, how bright are they ? Are they
shinning straight out or are they down?
We don’t have any detail yet. The idea was just to bring you a conceptual drawing
of what the building could look like and certainly the lighting will be satisfactory to the Planning
Board.
I can say one thing. I have a little construction background with the stone
backing on the columns there, my guess would be they would be lights that reflect up and down
to kind of give it that elegant look, if you will. The way stone reflects with light. That is what I
think they are trying to portrait there.
How bright do you think it would be? Like, the ones behind you?
Whatever the code is. We are not going to want to light it up like a Christmas
tree.
Yes, that is what | was worried about.
Those lights are not what they are going to go for. They are either up lit or down lit,
never straight up.
You have the drawing right in front of you. I was just concerned about all these
lights and where they were going to be shinning.
Well, that is something they would have to show us on the plan.
I brought you an alternative layout along with the PRC comments, if you'd like to
see il. We rotated the building if you wanted to.
(A LOT OF PAPER RATTLING)
This is you alternative?
Yes, because there was a comment that someone had preferred to sce the building
parallel.
Pg. 61 fFebruary 7, 2023 Planning Meeting
The question is, what is going to look better? Having this, the doors visible from
Ridge Road or having what is depicted here.
Personally, if it’s a nice design on the brick, | would rather see the brick on the
doors. That is my opinion. I think the original option INAUDIBLE (A LOT OF PAPERS
RATTLING) in the front where it looks like the second somewhat parallel with the road, I think
now you have a giant parking lot in the front. Personally, I like the first option better.
Is that with the bays perpendicular?
Perpendicular to the road. That's the one I prefer.
| know this is conceptual but obviously someone spent time on this and they
assumed they figured the cars can turn into the side limits.
What is it?
In the original layout that you have, there is actually room for the cars to turn
in properly.
| think they have an inhouse Engineer.
Are there any other TAKE 5 locations in the Rochester area?
They are actually working on one, but I don’t know where they are in the process
ils not constructed yet. They are going to be relatively new to the market, but I can get you some
information on where the closest may be and photos for you.
So, it says in your notes that people stay in their cars while the service is being done.
Yes
What does it take 15 or 20 minutes or something?
Yes
So, you don’t have to have a waiting room or anything like that?
Yes. | don’t have a floor plan, but I don’t think they need that now.
There is something similar on Empire Blvd in Baytowne. | have been in there and
they do that. You sit in the car, and they go through everything, then you pay them, and you are
gone. So, you don’t have to get out of your car. The configuration of the building, I] could go
either way, The doors facing Ridge Road or this new facade that they face on Ridge Road.
Pg. 62 /February 7, 2023 Planning Meeting
I just have one other question, it is more operational, in terms of their operation
with delivers and the hauling of the waste oil, is that a tractor trailer or a smaller vehicle?
I don’t know the answer to that, but I will find out.
Would that be done during business hours? Or will they come before or after they
are closed?
I] don’t know the answer to that, but I will find out,
Is there going to be any signs on Jackson or Ridge Road?
So, we have shown a monument sign on the frontage. We don’t have a design for
that sign yet and depending on the architecture, we don’t have out sign package for the building
yet.
I didn’t mean Jackson, I’m sorry.
The use is very, very low impact and that I like. Brusters is not impacted, they do
very good business. So, having something a little more subdued, it’s not going to hinder either
one. So, I like the use.
Along those lines, we would appreciate a recommendation to the Zoning Board as
we do need a use variance in the MC zoning district .
When are you going before them?
We haven’t submitted an application yet. We wanted to get the concept plan in
here first and get some feedback.
Are there any other comments on design, colors ?
Between Brian and I, we told them what they need to do in Webster. They need to
gel a really nice quality building and make this a really nice asset to Ridge Road.
Are these corporate colors?
The colors, yes. This is definitely an upgraded building for this location.
Can we narrow thal red band a little bit, do you think?
It is not my call, but I certainly will take that back.
| just don’t like it being like Circus-Circus you know.
Pg. 63 /February 7. 2023 Planning Meeting
I am sorry fam going to stick to my guns, I just don’t like the red. The band on
the building and that roof but it’s a minor thing.
Would it be appropriate if we stayed with the color theme but maybe took it
back to the client to think about different ways to get their corporate color them on the building
because it is an identifiable feature of their business in multiple locations and cities. I guess if
Brusters likes red . You are going to get all the foot traffic from people getting their cars done so
but if that is a consideration for the board, I think the client would appreciate that they could use
their corporate color if you will.
Get some alternatives and we will take a look at them,
Ok, thank you.
Yes, there definitely needs to be some branding. Again, this is a concept that we
wanted to bring you so.
Because we have had national brand companies come into town and say, well
this is how are buildings look in Cincinnati and Paduka and all that and we tell them no, it
doesn’t fit it with the scheme of Webster and | am not saying your building doesn’t, it is just that
color.
| offer that we send said letter to Zoning Board with INAUDIBLE. (NOT
SPEKAING LOUD ENOUGH AND A LOT OF PAPERS RATTLING)
With the push to go to electric cars in the not-too-distant future is this something
that may not last for very long?
You know, I think they are very confident in their business, and they are investing
in building new sites and new locations and the last time I checked, we are all driving, well, ] am
driving an old-fashioned vehicle these days, but I think they are confident that there is a market.
They have done their research in selecting a site.
There is going to be many, many internal combustion vehicles on the road,
regardless of what the movement is towards electric vehicles. It would take years and years. Any
other comments? We will give you what we can give you at this point.
Thank you we appreciate it and thank you for your ime, We appreciate all your
comments; thank you for sending a letter to the Zoning Board . | think that is an tmportant next
step for us to proceed with the Zoning Board application. We look forward to sceing you in the
near future with a site plan application.
Thank you.
