Located at 875 Publishers Parkway. Applicant Matt McAlpin is
requesting AREA VARIANCES to aliow the construction of a 300,000 SF multi-phase
building, with the first phase being 120,000 SF, where the maximum allowed is 45,000 SF on a
25.65 acre parcel having SBL# 079.06-1-32.123 located in an OP Office Park .District under
Section 350-21C(1) of the Code of the Town of Webster.
Just to add a little bit of context and get it on the record, as you all know, any
development within the OP District requires a referral from the Town Board. So, this project was
initially presented at a Town Board Workshop on December 5, 2024. The Town Board that
same night did approve the resolution to refer it to the Planning Board for the purpose of site
plan review and the project and the applicants appeared before the Planning Board last month at

the January 7" meeting for Sketch Plan Review which brings it to tonight's application before
this board.
Reviewing PowerPoint regarding ORDINANCE (SEE ATTACHED)
Appearing before the board was Matt McAlpin. Good evening and thanks for having us. So, I
just want to do a quick introduction of our team and who we are before we get started. I promise
to keep that under 2 minutes. My name is Matt McAl]pin, and I am the President and CEQ,
owner of McAlpin Industries and with me tonight we have our CEO, Darla Lacey and our
recently retired CFO, Mark Lockerby and now Consultant and our partners at Costich
Engineering, Mike Ritchie.
So, McAlpin Industries, we are a contract precision sheet metal fabrication house so when you
think of sheet metal components, we get it in, we cut it; form it; we insert hardware; we manually
weld it; we paint it and we assembly it. Our parts go into a lot of different assemblies that you
may have exposure to in your day to day lives but we don’t have any product that we can
necessarily point to, so we are business to business. So, whether you have ridden in a high bred
bus; high speed train; use a self-kiosk at the store or ordered something on line the way that that
product gets to a warehouse to your front door, we have a lot of automation components in that.
We do some medical parts; parts that go to data centers; HVAC systems, that sort of thing.
The company was started in 1964 by my grandfather. He was on the family dairy farm here in
Webster and long story short, he decided to open up his own tool and dye shop in
64. So, we
have come a long ways and in fact, this Friday will be celebrating our 61°. Our company has a
strong culture. We are very proud of that, and we work very hard at that every day. We are also
a Veteran owned company, and we are very excited to partner up on this project in Webster. It
has been a long time coming. We have been looking for a good place to expand our business for
going on 2 years now and we had a couple of things we were working on that didn’t work out but
this property and we are excited to be here.
So, it’s important for us to get this variance being over 40,000 square feet in an Office Park we
believe that this building, it really fits the area and there are a couple of buildings right next door
adjacent to the property that are larger than 40,000 square feet and in fact, one is almost 400,000
I believe and another one that is 160,000 and again, we are really excited to be here and we take
a lot of pride in what we do and we like to say that we do things the right way and part of that is
being part of your community and we have already started to reach out to our neighbors and
talking to Mirror Show Management and we are going to go speak with them next week and we
even started talking to some of the neighbors to understand what their concerns are and
everything has been going well so far. A lot of strong support from the community and a lot of
support from the Town Boards so far and I really appreciate that. So again, just really exited to
be here and appreciate the support. So, with that I am going to turn it over to Mike who can
answer any questions on the variance that we are seeking approval on.

Thank you. I am Mike Ritchie with Costich Engineering and again, we did submit
application requesting an area variance for the approval of a 300,000 square foot manufacturing
warehouse and code permits 45,000 square feet. I would be happy to go through the standard
criteria if you wish but that was submitted as part of the application.
Erika Corsi showing Project Location and others on screen. (SEE ATTACHED)
I am good, but I would like to ask the board.
So, another item, we have submitted to the Planning Board for Special Use and
Site Plan Review, and we are anticipating going to the March meeting. So, we would be happy to
answer any other questions the board may have and thank you for your time.
So, questions from the board. So, Phase | is a 120,000 square feet and it’s
primarily to the south of the property. Phase 2 & 3 and those will end up expanding north. I
didn’t see....how much of a buffer between Publishers Parkway and the northern most...tree
buffer are you proposing.
I don’t know the exact distance but that northern if you will, I think it's 4%to5
acres.
NOT CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE MIC, KIND OF HARD TO HEAR. It’s
roughly 300 feet to the north. I don’t have the exact dimension from the edge of disturbance for
the final build out to the top but that northern portion is 743 feet, so we are half way into it so its
approximately 300-350 feet to with no disturbance at all. Existing.
Are those going to be listed to remain on your plans.
Yes, the are listed on the grading plans, like the proposed clearing limit. That is all
shown on the plans.
Access is only going to be through Hard, correct right, nothing onto Publishers.
Right. (NOT CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE MIC, KIND OF HARD TO HEAR)
Initially we had discussed potentially having a second access off of Publishers, but I think it’s
not really warranted, especially it being a shift to tight operation. Most of the first shift
is there before anyone uses the road so that access off of Hard Road will primarily be unused
because most of the time the employees are showing up to work and quite honestly, J think you
had mentioned, 3 in the first phase and 3 to 6 truck trips per day so really there is not a lot of
truck traffic proposed. We are proposing a minor radius increase on the existing driveway on
Hard Road just to make sure that any trucks coming in will have no problem entering but with
that, there really didn’t seem to be much of a need to put in a 1,000 foot of extra road. I think the
big part to is the traffic pattern for people coming in and leaving, most everyone is getting off on

104 and turning right into the site and not many people would be coming from maybe from Five
Mile Line and over, so it seems a little bit redundant.
The original plan had two access points but the more we looked at it and
knowing the traffic on Publishers and there is no sense on having additional traffic cut through
there especially when schoo! gets out, so we decided a couple of months ago, actually a month
ago to get rid of that access point.
NOT CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE MIC, HARD TO HEAR. They did have a
traffic study completed for this just to ensure that there wouldn’t be any conflicts with that
driveway at Hard Road and the conclusion of the report stated no changes to that driveway or to
that road would be needed. Even at full build out.
So that report went all the way out to full build out then.
Yes.
You indicated, correct me, I think you said 3-4 trucks a day.
Yes, about 3 trucks a day.
At full build out?
At full build out, it’s hard to say but 6 to 7 on an average.
And when we say trucks are we talking 18 wheelers or are we talking...
Yes.
Ok. Phase 2 is the headquarters, how many employees and I guess not factory
workers, just how many employees.
In Phase 2 and 3 are hypo thetical at this point. The need right now to grow the
business is we need to put up a 120,000 square foot and that is going to be all operations. We
wanted to make sure that if we were going to move into this space is that we have the
opportunity to expand, if and when we need to and have that flexibility in the future and one of
the thoughts was, do we headquarters there, do we have office staff there and if that is the case
that is a total of 115 employees that would be in phase 2 additional and out of those 115 I would
say about 60 are office staff.
They stagger shifts of operation.
Yes, we run 2 shifts right now and 1* shift and little bit heavier than 2™ shift.
Pg. 31 February 11, 2025 Zoning Meeting
What are those hours.
First shift starts at 6 AM but some of them start a little bit before that.
Second shift ending.
Second shift is | AM.
Ok. So, there will be traffic leaving second shift...early morning AM or however
you want to say it.
There would be about 20 of our associates working on second shift.
And you are consolidating both Hollenbeck Street and Macedon facility and this.
No, no, no.
So, this is an addition to.
The first phase is all growth.
Do you plan on bringing those in eventually or..........
One thing in our business is that we are always changing and in fact we just
changed things last month. I am certainly open to what the future may hold but as of right now
we need the 120 for growth and expansion. As things evolve in the next 2,5,10 years there is a
possibility of a consolidation but at this point, our primary focus is expanding the company and
getting that space to do that.
Further down the line for signage (this is for PLANNING BOARD) obvious U of
R sign is already there are planning on being adjacent to it.
We started, and we have not been able to get in touch with that facility yet but
one thing we do want to discuss with them is something better with the sign because there are
some residents in that area that people pull into their driveways, and they are thinking that the are
going into the U of R building and obviously that is bothersome to the residents. So, we would
like to work with them and get a new sign up that would be a little bit easier to identify where to
go and one thing that we have talked about, and we haven’t brought it to the town yet, but maybe
that road needs to be called something else and give it a different address because if you plug in
the U of R’s address on Hard Road and now you are pulling into a residents driveway. So, if it is
a different street name and their address is on that road, our address is on that road, it would be a
lot easier if people plug it into their GPS and they will be able to find our location a little bit
easier.
Pg. 32 February 11, 2025 Zoning Meeting
Michae! Short: Because right now, if they plug in your address, it will be Publishers Parkway,
and they will drive up and it will be a bunch of woods. Question about during construction, as
you mentioned one of the neighbors concerns pulling into their residence to go to the U of R.
There has also been concerns during construction of that facility of dust and constant
construction. Is there any mitigation means that you would be proposing during construction to
minimize the dust and dirt on the roads etc.
Yes, we have heard some concerns in fact, we started talking to some of the
residents and Mark Lockerby, if you want to come up, he has had most of the conversations, but
I think the advantage or the benefit of this location compared to the U of R building is we are not
adjacent to the residents property so any dust that is in the air, we are over 800 feet away from
early stages of construction. It turns out the biggest concern we have heard from residents is not
necessarily the dust, it’s the geese and I joke about it, but Mark has already become an expert on
how to keep geese out of your retention pond, but you have had conversations with some of our
upcoming neighbors, do you want to explain.
Three of the residents that back up to U of R parking lot and I also spoke with
MSM, Vice President of Operations there and we also spoke to a resident that attended one of the
prior meetings, so we have a good understanding of concerns. There questions were related to
things of what we could improve on from what you have experienced maybe before. One was
geese and we have a number of scenarios and MSM has utilized this scenario, try and work to
improve things and they have some scenarios that have worked for them and there is also some
guaranteed solution, one being solar where you have lighting set up that deters geese from the
area and there is a couple more that we are exploring, and we will be working on those. That
was number one.
What you mentioned about the dust we have a lot of things....so, there is two things associated
with one was sometimes a backup of the trucks going into the site. We think we can elevate that
multiple different ways again exploring a lot of different ways but traffic coming from the north
instead of all coming from the south it would be another means that we are exploring plus I have
other ideas I want to develop a little further. The dust part of it............
We have worked with our builder to help us understand some of the things that
they would do to mitigate some of the concerns. (HANDED BOARD SOME PICTURES TO
VIEW-it was Letchworth Park-SEE ATTACHED) we have adopted that philosophy.
So, first and foremost, ] think the construction entrance and stagging area and
getting all that set up in advance and then they start the clearing of the site the trees and such and
the cuts and fills as needed to start....they would do the retention ponds and put those in place
and again, that helps a lot and the run off that has been experiences by some of the neighbors.
That will elevate that and prohibit that. Also, putting stone for the parking and the building
having that all done inadvance We will also elevate some of the dust and also putting the
green areas; putting the dirt and the seeding, those would also elevate the dust and also the run
Pg. 33 February 11, 2025 Zoning Meeting
off and elevate the run off and rough grading on the detention ponds, again for the run off and
also for, as you are doing the building site if there is any water that needs to be extracted can be
pushed towards those retention ponds.
You guys are looking at ways of mitigating that during construction and finding.
There is a plethora of means to use but you guys are exploring it to be able to mitigate those
concerns of the residents in the area.
Yes
(NOT CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE MIC, HARD TO HEAR) SWPPP inspections
will be weekly if not bi-weekly inspections and obviously if there are any site conditions that
need to be remedy whether dust or erosion or anything else it will be noted to the owner and the
contractor and the town.
And will hear about it and then you will hear about it.
(NOT CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE MIC, HARD TO HEAR) I think if you notice
to, the dust is really like a June, July, August type of issue and you don’t see as much in the wet
weather and hopefully if the schedule works out, will have mass earthwork and mass grading be
done early Spring, early summer and stabilization and that is what really cuts down on the dust.
You can get those bare earth areas to get grass to grow and that goes away. You had mentioned
the stabilized construction entrance, and we have seen sites where we see a street sweeper...or
even hose down an extinct portion of the access road to make sure you are not tracking anything
out onto Hard Road. We see that regularly and understand that concern that people would not
want dust all over their car.
I also left a card with all the neighbors and my cell phone number. There is
another site out in Walworth and that worked out extremely well. So hopefully I get the call
before anyone else does.
If they do the job that you believe that they are going to do, you have more than
enough distance from the edge of the existing road to the actual construction site. Without
seeing the grading plan or the erosion control plan I am assuming your construction entrance is
right behind the existing one so if you need to, have a couple 10-20 extra feet of gravel and that
will diminish a lot of the stuff that you are bringing off site before you get to the road.
Is there anyone that would like to speak for or against this project . Just a
reminder, you have 5 minutes. Name and Address and then your concerns.

With that, T will return it to the board. We did received one comment on line.
Read the comment out loud FROM DAVE NACCA WHO RESIDES ON
HARD ROAD (SEE ATTACHED PAGE OF COMPLETE EMAIL)
The construction for ...we have a similar building that is 120,000 square foot
building that we built 9 years ago and from the initial shovel in the ground to complete with the
actual equipment moved in, it was seven months, and we were in at the end of
September...really October so it won’t be an extended duration like that. Same contractor, same
group.
Quick question, the follow up to that comment, three phases but as we discussed
here tonight , phase one is the immediate phase that is necessary. Phase 2 and 3 are not
necessarily planned but developed for future growth. In your best estimation, how long before
phase 2 and or phase 3 actually gets constructed knowing that the economy is different; now we
have new tariffs; and everything else going on so it’s really a shot in the dark , best estimation.
Best estimation phase 2, 5 years and phase 3, maybe 10 years from now.
Ok, perfect.
(NOT SITTING CLOSE ENOUGH TO MIC, HARD TO HEAR) you already
own the property or it’s contingent on these approvals.
We do not own the property yet.
There is a pending contract.
Yes.
Contingent on anything other than the approvals you are seeking.
I don’t believe so.
And all said and done, the phases that are in the application, it looks like about
30 % of the coverage of the property.
The building yes, the building is about 30% the total lot coverage building and
pervious area is just under 50 % of the lot.
Based on your calculations, I believe it was 49%.
Yes.

Please type your comments —_After thving through hell with the LeFrols construction of the
in the box below: URMC Building & Lot In my backyard not too long ago, |
implore several suggestions & requests for any construction
behind and continuing beyond the URMC driveway entrance &
bullding including this proposal.
1- Immediately upon ANY construction, the very first step
necessary Is another road access via separate area other than
the current URMC (875 Hard Road address) private road
entering! exiting only onto Hard Road. This entalis allowing the
construction vehictes more than one direction for what will be a
seemingly endless cycle of extreme dirt, noise and chaos
during construction via Hard Road only. This Is necessary not
just for the construction of the buildings end parking lots etc but
for the initial land prep start of the very beginning as well, such
a8 tree removal, soll rearranging additions removal etc.
2- The site sketch plans initially show a gigantic retention pond.
My experiance with the ratantion ponds for URMC are a
nightmare with absolutely zero control of the geese population
and therefore annoyance of honking and mainly geese poop
beyond what I can property convey In short ordar. 1 would
suggest off the top of my head al the very least come kind of
permanent 2-4" high fencing along the retention pond extreme
exterior to its south, east and north. Should McAipin Industies
ba fine with geese & their pocp all over thelr parking fot, | guess
i's not needed to the west of the retention ponds.
(Separately, retention ponds and gease populations badly need
to be addressed by the Town of Webster In some way & form,
anywhere there ere these ponds, because living In Webster
with the explosion of the geese poop makes for hell for enyone
Iving nearby and Not « pleasant Webster experience
whatsoever.
> The Road with no name that currently leads le URMC with
an address of 875 Hard Road is simply unacceptable. Dozens
Hf not hundreds cf cusiomers to URMC have pulled in my
driveways looking to drive thru my backyerd lawn trying to get
to thelr butiding and parking lot becaues thelr bulding Is Jit up
and thelr address is Hard Road rather than the road that Is off
Hard Road. If the town has to take ownership of that access
road and maintain tt, then maybe LeFrols Construction or
McAlpin Industries needs to pay Webster extra annuat
maintenance fees. The current placement of the burden on me
of fixing my lawn every time cars drive back across and around
my lawn irying to access URMC Is no longer acceptable or
reasonabte. It ls simpty not acceptable or reasonable ic allow
ANY expansion of ANY business or company or residents
bayond URMC to make matters Infinitely worse than already
dangerous and bad eltuation for my home.
4- Regerdiess of an immediate second entrance off Publisher's
Parkway for any construction beginning, the three homes In
front of 875 Hard Road (693 Hard Rd, 679-881 Hard Road and
693 Hard Road) and their residents including all tenants, |
‘would suggest the paid In full compensation amount of an
ennual membership for each vehicle or adult resident to (Go
Car Wash or Delta Sonic both In Webster) because the
alrbome dirt and dust during construction from the work and the
construction vehicles |s weil bayond reasonable. If its a 2 or 3
year, of 4 of even 5 year construction process, whatever It may
be, $0 it be enough for each year compensation pald to the
homeowner to also dispense to tenants if applicable.
We living through the construction of URMC and the unending
alrbome dirt on our lives and in the road was Insanely unjust.

And just out of curiosity, the front end off of Publishers is that going to kind of
have a wooded look with or are the loaded to the back end of the property.
I think if you were to look from Publishers, you are not going to notice that it is
even there.
Alright, with that I will bring it back to the board. Any other questions.
The only thing I had is the access off of Hard Road even though the lot is on
Publishers and has Publishers address are you going to change and make it easier for people to
find because as Mr. Short said, if your address is Publishers Parkway you are not going to have
any clue on how to get there.
Agreed and we will work with the Town Clerk. The are usually deal with
addresses and whether it is possible to rename that private drive just to make it more specific or
not. I think if it would based on how I saw the tax parcels and the orderly development of
addresses, it would get a Hard Road address because it actually does have currently, it’s a flag
lot, the pole portion does touch Hard. So, I think if it were to be renamed on that private road, J
believe it would have a Hard Road address.
Thank you.
Do you anticipate with the shift employee traffic and delivery and shipment of
goods, do you anticipate having a lot of customer visits as well or...
Not in our industry. We do have customer visits and if I had to take a guess
maybe 10 a year. We don’t have any walk in traffic or anything.
But it would definitely be less customer traffic then Calvary, which is somewhat
larger in size and very similar operation but much more with working with the customer.

CORRINE VOLO
1. This request is not out of character in the neighborhood: It will not change. There are
several other similar businesses or similar size complex in the area. We have Calvary

aa
7. Robotics, which does much of the same work and in a larger building. We have the Sports
Complex between Mirror Show Management and also manufacturing to some degree.
There will not be a detriment created to nearby properties:
The benefit is not achievable by any other method: The 300 foot square foot building ts the
maximum that the applicant is requesting based on projects of the growth of the business
even though it is going to be in 3 phases but given the size of the lot and the location of the
building I don’t think it will look anymore out of place than the Calvary Building at the
other end of Publishers Parkway.
It is in that 45,000 square feet is permitted by code but its
certainly not out of character or less substantial given the other buildings in the area and
other buildings within office park districts within town not even within this
There are no adverse physical or environmental impacts to the site or neighborhood: Will
not have any adverse physical or environmental impacts to the site or neighborhood. There
will be a slight increase in traffic but nothing that is out of the ordinary for that type of
work. The light will be mitigated, the dust and dirt will be mitigated during construction
and it’s far from any of the residents on Hard Road that I do not think that light or noise
will be an issue.
It is in that the owner does require a larger building than
what is allowed but there are really no proprieties in Webster that would meet the criteria
of the size of the building that are currently available.
This is not an undesirable change:
I would like to add that from Publishers Parkway building and construction is set
far enough back that anyone on Publishers Parkway will mostly never know that the facility is
there and similarly from Hard Road the facility is set far enough back off of Hard Road has no
visual impact to any of the surroundings.
At least to phase one.
No, phase 1, 2 and
3. Because phase 3 is 800 feet off the driveway.

VARIANCE Located at 875 Publishers Parkway.
