Appearing before the board was Steve Stanley from Vital Signs on behalf of ...
Please excuse me before you start. Folks, all that jibber jabbering is all
transferring up to the microphones. Could I ask you just to be quiet. Appreciate it, thank you.
On behalf of AGI Signs for Lucky Strike Bowling Alley for a rebrand change
over, We are proposing one set of aluminum channel! letters that are going to be lit on the face
of the building and also going to change out the pylon face and remove the current Bowlero
sign on the east end of the building.
So, your signs are basically where there currently are signs. Your just
putting new ones up and the new name.
The pylon face will be in the same spot, but the new sign will be closer to the
entrance from where the current sign is.
Other than the lighting inside the cabinet, that’s it right?
Correct. It will be internally lit both the cabinet and the aluminum channel
letters.
Okay, anybody have any questions on it?

mounted sign on a 3.54-acre parcel having SBL# 079. 18-1-69.111 located in the MC Medium-
Intensity Commercial District under Section 265-7 of the Code of the Town of Webster.
Appearing before the board was Jerry Fricano and I am the owner of Tempo Italian Kitchen
and Bar & Grill. We are involved with Vital Signs with this sign permit. With the sign
dimensions it’s as you see on the paper. As far as what we are trying to do, we are trying to
create a book end effect with Hooligans back lit sign that is on the east side of the plaza, and
we are going to be on the other side of the plaza, so we are trying to create that with a back lit
glowing sign as well. The letters are going to be glowing from the back. It’s not going to be
like a back lit frame sign. It’s basically just going to be the letters, that’s all.
What space are you taking there?
It’s the old Nucci’s. So, we are going to rebrand it and it’s going to be an Italian
restaurant.
Good location. Anybody have any issues with that sign? How bright is it?
It’s just like a back glow and not too bright. It does not look a Las Vegas sign.
We are just trying to create a little bit of something different in the plaza and my main concern
really was people driving by Ridge Road who are approximately 300 feet from the road, so
we don’t want to do anything to extravagant or too crazy. Just mainly to try and catch
someone’s eye when they are walking into the plaza rather than the standard signs that are in
there. I currently own the pizza shop next door.
Are you proposing anything out on the monument sign?
No sir.

I know this sounds a little dragged out with these sign permits and stuff but
reality is if we didn’t have this, we would have signs hanging over the express ways. People
would just go wild, flashing lights. We have a very strict code for signs and people have been
really good. That is why this went really quick. They follow it and have nice looking signs in
town now so that is a benefit to us. Okay, so that’s why it takes a little long but bear with us.
7-BREW: Located at Hard Road. Applicant Brew Team NY, LLC/Doug Beachel is requesting
PREMILINARY SITE PLAN APPROVAL (
PUBLIC HEARING
) in association with the
development of a 510 SF prefabricated double drive through only coffee stand on a 0.73-acre parcel
having SBL# 079.15-1-1.313 located in the HC High Intensity District under Sections 269-11 and
350-19 under the Code of the Town of Webster.
Appearing before the board was Doug Beachel with Brew Team NY, LLC we are a franchise of
7-Brew coffee. I was not hear at the last appearance. We had a conflict, so I covered another
town and sent a proxy, a couple of gentleman so we kind of went through the initial process. What
exactly...how would you like me to present at this point?
Probably, one way to start, there are a bunch of project review committee
comments that were submitted. I believe you answered several of them, but I guess Keith there
are some more that still needed to be addressed.
So, yes, I believe we received a letter, I think last Wednesday with 5 or 6 new
comments and a lot of them to do with our stormwater protection plan. My civil was out last week
and came back today so I don’t have any official comments on these last comments for tonight’s
proceedings. But they are in review and we will have a response as soon as possible.
Pg. 159 June 2, 2026 Planning Meeting
Provide a drawing for the SWPPP showing stormwater flow from the site to
the pond; show how the drainage connects to Popeye’s ; Taco Bell and along the front there, that
was originally designed that detention area was like a little swale across the front as part of those
buildings right there and so far, it’s worked well I believe and it looks attractive too. This is going
to need to have something comparable in front of it, but I don’t know how it’s going to connect to
the Popeye’s or what but that’s....... it kind of shows a swale on there a little bit but what he’s
pointing to right now is the detention area.
I believe we are mostly avoiding that front swale to leave it in tact. So, our drive
lane is basically equivalent to that Popeye’s drive lane so everything we have is behind it .
Yes, you ae coming from the other side of it.
Yes, the internal...
But along Hard Road, that’s the area that I’m talking. That swale needs to
be...
So, you are asking for a higher level of detail for that swale essentially.
I guess that Engineering would want to see what you are proposing to do with
it to make it conform.
(not near the mic and cannot hear) from your lot into that low area there
so to the north there is the beginnings developed with the bioretention and some how that’s
going to be continued down through property. to be continuous
through that.
Okay, that is a little bit of clarification on that comment so we can certainly achieve
and really try to mimic the look on the frontage and extended that swale.
Did they receive these comments?
Yes, they have.
So, actually they haven’t been able to address them.
Pg. 160 June 2, 2026 Planning Meeting
Keith, I guess my question here is the bio retention that is in front of Popeye’s and
Taco Bell...is that sized to accommodate their facility to or do they still need to...
They’re SWPPP needs to address that.
EVERYONE SPEAKING AT THE SAME TIME
They need to actually provide bio retention to address size
accordingly.
Correct.
That is the landscape area basically. That’s all there is just that.
I think the other one that we are still waiting is the traffic study.
That has been provided. There were no comments.
So, you are in for preliminary approval there are some outstanding issues on
there. I don’t know how intense they are.
I would support the preliminary approval with these comments being addressed
between now and final.
For final?
Correct.
Okay, have they got a copy? Do you have a copy?
Yes, we received it, I believe it was Wednesday, it might have been Thursday, so
we just have no had a chance to turn them around.
Okay, everything else I think we have addressed in there. Your trash container,
that’s masonry unit around the back of that, I believe.
Pg. 161 June 2, 2026 Planning Meeting
Yeah, it’s niche. It’s the same as fiber cement brick look that’s on the building.
It matches the other ones then, too. So actually, the biggest concern then is that
bio retention across the front there I guess and then addressing the additional comments. There’s
about eight or nine of them on there I believe.
Yes, 24 to 31 are the last new comments. So, like I said, most of those are SWPPP
related and storm water. Not really much left on site plan.
If I recall last meeting there was also a concern about the actual lighting of the
facility. They have a very standard....
We asked them and we did talk to you about that previously that those lights
need to by dimmed down.
Yeah, so we do have a shielding option available. I do have photos. They’re 11
X 17 I can approach and show them to the board. The difference between our standard LED blue
light strip and our shielded light strip. Then I have, just some examples of some other lighting in
the area just comparable to what we’re doing on the other QSR....
For the final approval, but for the resolution, we’ll put it in that that needs to
be accomplished. One other thing I was thinking too is do you have outdoor speakers there at all?
There is not like a menu board speaker, so you don’t order. It’s basically individual
ordering much like Chick-fil-A. There are speakers in the canopy that play music depending on
the time of day. That can be attenuated to whichever decibel levels appropriate.
How is that?
It’s reaily...it’s just for our employees and the vehicles that are pulling under the
canopy. So, there is just some sort of music playing.
It won’t be reflecting out into the other properties and out to the road and stuff.
No, we control it very heavily.
So, it is controlled... OKAY
Pg. 162 June 2, 2026 Planning Meeting
It’s ultimately inside the building. It’s only 510 sf building but there is an exterior
speaker.
Once you have it installed and it’s going and everything is working and the
light are done, the lights are on, at the discretion of the board to !ook at that and say, “wait a
minute, you got to tone that down”. That’s too loud. Is that acceptable?
Oh yeah, absolutely.
Alright. Again, this is a public hearing, so if there’s anyone here wishing to
speak,
I just had one more, I think, comment that I want to ask Keith, it was addressed.
Snow storage was a concern last time too because I think they indicated snow storage where the
buyer retention would be, which is not something they’re going to be able to do. Has that been
addressed for where they’re going to pile snow?
We had relocated the location. Let’s see here, ultimately, we’re really...the
perimeter of the site we’ ve got about a 3 to 4 foot kind of stone area above the curb that we use
for snow storage so we can avoid putting it in that swale. Anything above and beyond that we
would basically have a management plan and if we get a major event which obviously happens in
this part of the world. You know, we’d have it loaded and shipped out because it’s a narrow tight
site. So, we'll accommodate as much as we can on the shoulders up above the curb and then there
is a little bit of an area by the dumpster. But really if we get to the point where it’s a problem,
we’l] just have it removed and placed elsewhere.
So, is a snow management plan something that needs to be submitted to the town?
I think if you probably show it on a drawing where you would be putting the
snow, just mark it as snow storage.
Well, no. They’re saying if they have to remove it off site
That would be a thing they would have to do then. And in that case, yes.
So, are you asking to show where offsite we would...
If there’s an area you can put if off, you know, on the site or wherever? I don’t
Pg. 163 June 2, 2026 Planning Meeting
know where Popeye’s or any of the other places actually. They’re in the same situation, the same
size lots. I don’t know where they put their snow.
They’re much larger. I mean, really, we’re narrow.
Okay. Then show an area where you possibly could put snow and then contract
with someone designating where or what who would ever remove the snow, if necessary, off the
site.
We’re part of the overall parcel owned by Wide Waters and there’s plenty of area
somewhere on there.
It would be arrangements made to put it, you know, to the west of you in the
back. Okay, you can work that out, but you need to submit something showing that. Again, this
is a public hearing. If there is anyone wishing to speak either for or against this project.
Dennis Gorlick. I’m with the Conservation Board. I’m the Chairperson of the Conservation
Board. I just wanted to mention that we did do a site review in March on the coldest day of the
year. This may have been addressed...it looked like all the areas that we had mentioned before
has been addressed already in terms of snow removal and drainage and so forth. I wasn’t sure
though since I didn’t get a chance to take a close look at the latest plans. We’d mentioned that on
the Hard Road side of all the existing businesses, the sort of strip businesses in Popeye’s, Taco
Bell and so forth, and the back on the other side, there is landscaping of some sort between the
building, the structures and Hard Road. And that was one thing that we mentioned that since there
are no other trees or shrubs in the original site, there may be some that ae put around, but
continuing that theme of some trees and shrubs along Hard Road would certainly can make that
.. have a sense of continuity and I think something that’s necessary. So, I don’t know of that been
put into the plan or not, but I want to mention that since I didn’t hear that.
That’s being addressed.
Okay, does any one else wish to comment. You guys all right with this?
YES
Okay, we will move forward on it.
Do we have to close the public hearing?
Pg. 164 June 2, 2026 Planning Meeting
Yes, I will close the public hearing.

additional comments 24-31, I believe it was. And the speakers are to be controlled, volume controlled and

have shields for them?
We have shields and we used to have the ability to dim them but the new lights flicker, like

Located at Five Mile Line Road. Applicant Joe Cattalani is
requesting PRELIMINARY SITE PLAN/SUBDIVISION APPROVAL (PUBLIC
HEARING) associated with resubdivision of land and development of an approximately
39,100 SF indoor/outdoor recreation facility on a 9-acre parcel having SBL# 079.10-1-1.11 and
Pg. 169 June 2, 2026 Planning Meeting
SBL# 079.10-1-2.3 located in the HC High-Intensity Commercial District under Sections 269-5,
296-14 and 350-19 of the Code of the Town of Webster
Appearing before the board was Joe Catalani. I am here again representing Dinks and Links.
We’ ve been here for I don’t know, six, eight months now and move things around a few times.
We are looking to construct and get preliminary approval for approximately 40,000 foot building
on 9 acres on the south side of the service road between Lowe’s and BJ’s.
Okay, where are we at with this? Have you provided everything to the town
that’s been requested?
We have been through, you know, the DEC and we worked out a plan with them.
That’s how we ended up on the south side. The DEC wanted us to put everything down. We agreed
to, you know, to do what they wanted us to do. We came before the town and there was a little bit
of an issue with getting a permit and so the last three times, we were not able to come before you
because we didn’t have a permit. And then come to find out the DEC did reach out and spoke to
them saying, “Hey, they can do the permit, but they need a SEQR first”. That they’ ve gone through
the process with us and they have gone over it, but they needed a SEQR, which is provided in the
town’s preliminary and final approval before they can issue said permit. And I would say to you,
you know, this seems to be a big, you know, to-do, right? I’m not a social media person at all. But
I got calls today at my office that, OH, there’s all these people online and you know that they’re all
the negative people regarding Dinks and Links. And so, I would say to you, you’ve got 20 people
in a town of 50,000. When we did the Lowe’s, and I think you were still there, we had to shut down
that building and come here because there were so many people that were against the Lowe’s. And
now you see those people shopping there. It’s a piece of property t hat was zoned for stuff like this.
And we’ll develop the property anyways into something. But this is a personal passion of mine.
You look next door at what’s going on outside right now. It’s the coolest thing in the world. You
got 15-25 families out there at a baseball game sitting down with their kids talking to each other. I
mean, if you want another Applebee’s or another clothing store or another U of R Medical Center,
which there’s nothing wrong with that, that’s great. That’s not what this is. This is something
about community. And where you can meet your neighbor out on a Wednesday night or a Thursday
night and each week, you can get a little exercise in. You can watch you kids. You can sit and have
dinner while your kids are out playing miniature golf or something and actually talk to each other.
It’s not this disastrous thing that people come, I think we need more of this not less of this today.
As far as outdoor noise which is what people will speak to. We have no problem with the town
coming in there and looking at you know decibel ratings. I’ve given an audio report to the town
regarding how loud things are. And with regards to...we have one....the trailer park that’s next to
us and we understand their thoughts and we’ll fence the back end of that lot, and we’ll put an
acoustic fence up there if they want. But the audio levels that are supplied show it as a mild whisper,
not as this uncontrollable loud noise. It’s just not what it’s said to be. It’s all, I think, you know,
the sky is falling.
That part , I think is okay. I think there’s just some of the things that are
Pg. 170 June 2, 2026 Planning Meeting
outstanding issues that apparently with Engineering detail were not addressed fully.
I want to get clarification. I’m having a hard time understanding how the DEC told
you that a seeker has to be granted prior to them giving you a JD.
You can talk to Josh about that.
Yeah, I'll speak to that. So, the DEC did reach out to me directly regarding this
project. From their perspective, they though any potential impacts from the project would be mostly
jocal in nature. So, they wanted to Planning Board to take the lead, be the lead agency for seeker.
Normally, they’! do their own seeker for wetland permit issuance. But with the court ruling from
April 8" of this year, this property is no longer under the DEC’s jurisdiction. So, when those new
wetland regulations were annulled, that actually pulled their jurisdictional authority off of this
project.
Ido have an email from them that J believe I provided to the board directly from the DEC explaining
their support for the project and willingness to issue a permit if one was required but future
subsequent direction from the DEC has indication that they’re currently going back to the old
wetland maps that existed prior to the more recent regulations. So, therefore, there are no
jurisdictional wetlands from the DEC’s perspective at this point and time. There are also claims
that the entire site is covered under federal wetlands. That is also simply not the case. In 2023
there was a court ruling regarding the definition of public waters of the United States and therefore
it has to be contiguously connected to a larger water body to be under the federal wetland
jurisdiction.
Therefore, there are no wetlands under both federal or state jurisdiction at this location at this time.
So, does that apply also to the north part of the existing road that’s there?
Correct.
So, I guess is there a reason why we’re not putting this on the north side to respect
the boundaries and vegetations that’s on the south side?
This is what the DEC...... you know, we still, even though the authority isn’t there,
we still respect their judgement, and they wanted us to put it down here. So, we’re good with that.
They specifically wanted it to be south of the service road. Most of the so-called wetlands that they
believe are wetlands are tied between that filed that’s open and the tree to the east. There’s a slice
of wet property that goes through there and that’s what they had, you know, previously thought of
as wetlands. And we’re not opposed to keeping that, you know, that vibe going. We don’t ... were
not here to....
When it was built, ultimately that road connected from BJ’s coming across there.
That was raised up to the elevation it is. If the roadway wasn’t there, years ago when Lowe’s was
Pg. 171 June 2, 2026 Planning Meeting
built, there was no water in there. It’s trapped in there right...so now, so now some of these things
we’re calling wetlands were farmed 16-18 years ago. The part that gets me is I see these things on
social media, and somebody is putting the wrong information out and everybody’s sucking right
onto it. Everybody’s sending letters and they say the same damn thing.
Well, we want to be a little bit careful because it’s a habitat that’s created too right
now. So, it is a habitat.
There are several things here. That all these comments are coming from the
same source and they’re not correct as Josh just explained. Incorrect information. These guys are
spending hours ad day, your taxpayer dollars, going through this stuff to address some of these
things that are above and beyond what is necessary.
The good news is that they know what they are. And that’s why you have the people
like the DEC. They give you the guidance. Just follow it. They are very well schooled, that’s all
they do.
Could you explain why the property south of the road, the DEC had a problem with?
What was their issue?
No, it’s south of the service road.
So, north of the property north of the service road. I’m getting my directions wrong.
I apologize.
I know. I get it. So, did I. Because that slice. So that slice where Keith’s got
his....who’s got the pointer? So, in between where that field is and then where that tree area starts
to the east, right there is that wet area and so they don’t want anything near there, That’s you know
and okay even though now after the court ruling that’s changed, I’m still deferring to them, They’ re
still smarter than me when it comes to habitat. And if they want me to put it on the south side, I’m
good with it. We moved things around and we made it work. And we moved the building three
times to make them happy and make the town happy, too.
Now, there was a letter from the owner of the mobile home. I guess you did
agree to some fencing or...
We’ ll put a fence at that border if that’s what they want. And I'll put an acoustic up
there.
Does it show on the plan?
It isn’t because...we can put it on the plan, but here’s what I want to be open about.
I’m trying to be a good neighbor here, one of the gentlemen that’s right next door had a shed out
Pg. 172 June 2, 2026 Planning Meeting
there, has chairs out there, he enjoys it right? I don’t want to wreck that. There’s no reason to do
that. So, my thought is we build it and if it’s a problem, we’ll do that. But if we do that, we take
that away from him. And I don’t think that there’s a reason to do that. I'll stipulate that I'll do it.
I'll put the fence up, I'll put the acoustic fence wrap on it but again, I think all this noise stuff is pie
in the sky and you’re going to take this guy’s backyard away from him. And I just...if it was me,
I'd be a litte bummed out.
Probably those discussions should be held ahead of times so that when you get
here, you’ ve got a plan showing what you’ re actually fully proposing to do.
Well, our plan right now, we will do exactly what it is and I’ll put .............
CANNOT HEAR, BOTH PARTIES SPEAKING AT THE SAME TIME.
Anthony Casciani:....... Neighbor wants and this one and who wants this and who wants that. It’s
got to get finalized.
Well, we could finalize putting the fence up. I’m willing to commit to that.
Stormwater drainage facilities, adequacy water supply; protection of adjacent
properties and general public. Well, that’s what we’re referring to. The adequacy of all temporary
and permanent provisions to control erosion from the site and maintain existing vegetation and
wildlife habitat. You were going to saver trees that would be saved, you know, for your park area,
like where your outdoor activity. Okay, well, those trees would have to be marked and saved. Well,
that’s got to get done.
Well, we did give you a clearing line. We did give you the new landscaping. And
once we get into it, the Engineers supplied, you know, circles around different areas, whether they
be storm water, piping or water piping or sewer that we have to stay away from because we’re
digging in there. And then outside of that bubble, anything that we find that’s healthy, that’s large,
that’s, you know, a reasonable tree, we keep. I mean, we’re building a courtyard for people.
According to the code. Anything over 8 inch diameter needs to be marked.
That’s standard anyways. But in this case, you’ve got an area where you’re having a park or
whatever recreational area. Then where the building is, no question. You have to take the trees
out, you know. But in that area, you can....they can measure off and mark the trees in there that
can be preserved. Number one, the other thing, too, is fire hydrants. Have to go in there. I guess
the Fire Marshal is...
Yeah, we would like to sit down with him. I believe we’ ve met.
Okay but all this, it’s got to be on a drawing.
It is on the drawing, I believe. Isn’t it.
Pg. 173 June 2, 2026 Planning Meeting
Fire hydrants?
Yes.
Josh, does the existing drawing indicated the existing tree lines?
It shows a clearing line actually.
Does it show the existing vegetation surveyed line like where the actual vegetation
is on site, and does it indicate a clearing limit, and does it indicate an LOD limits of disturbance the
project is going to have? These were all requirements as part of the sketch plan review. Same thing
with an earthwork calculation to indicate how much earth work is being performed on site.
Yeah, so the limits of clearing have been added to the plan. I don’t believe the
existing...
I had a very hard time seeing it on what was submitted to us. Like this whole drawing
set is blurry. I couldn’t determine the existing grades, proposed grades, or any line limits. If you
zoom in on what you’re showing right now. I mean, I can’t read this.
They should be very visible on a set of full size plans.
The plans that we have are not.
(never stated his name) The heavier weight lines that are labeled. I’m looking at elevation
405 just to do east of the south east comer of the building is a proposed contour and the squiggly
lines that are running around are the existing contours right in there.
What are those contour labels?
That’s existing..........
What are those contour labels. Can you read me up?
When you follow that existing around and then you move down to where Josh...has his
cursor. Now, right there is a proposed so that we can get the thing to drain.
I’ m just letting you know I had a hard time reading this. There were a couple items
that I just listed off that were part of the sketch plan approval that were needed to be provided on
the drawing set that I have not seen. So, the other thing I wanted to mention, Joe, you mentioned
you want to be a good neighbor. Is there a reason that the orientation of the volleyball courts and
the pickle courts are not set back farther away from the neighbors to the south that have the concerns
with the project more to the east where the mini golf course is shown and the golf course is not
moved to the south? So that way you have that additional barrier between the land owners and
Pg. 174 June 2, 2026 Planning Meeting
what you’re looking to do.
So, you would rather have the miniature golf down by the volleyball and have the
volleyball by the......
Again, I see pickle ball and volleyball typically something to be more of....
Well, the pickle ball is...
There noise than mini golf.
We could easily move the volley. We could swap out the volleyball for miniature
golf. No problem. We can do that. The pickle ball courts I really can’t move around. But I can
move the volleyball courts away and put the miniature golf down there.
And once you show the existing vegetation on site, the mature vegetation, again,
emphasis is to preserve as much of the existing vegetation as there is, that could be a visual screen.
It will also act as a noise barrier, too. But like you said, if you provide a wall barrier, noise barrier,
I think that would be appreciated by the land owners to the south as well as a good neighbor.
Yes. [’}] do that. Ican certainly commit to putting up the acoustic fence there without
a problem. And moving on the volleyball court, swapping them out with miniature golf. Not a
problem. I just want the miniature golf so that...there’s a little top area there out by the patio, too,
so that for the 5 year olds, there’s a little dirt area there within a guardrail that they can, you know,
we’ ll supply little Tonka trucks and stuff like that where the younger kids can play while the parents
eat. And the older kids, I want moms to be able to see their kids. And so, certainly if I move that
down there, they’d be able to see them. It’s important that they be able to see their kids while
they’re enjoying themselves. So yep, I’ll commit to moving those volleyball in where the mini golf
is and putting up the acoustic fence.
We’ve got to put this thing into a package. We’ re rebuilding this now.
Tony, I don’t know how we can proceed with a preliminary approval............
I am not arguing that part. My point is this has been before us for a couple of
months. Why didn’t we bring this up before?
I do have one question. I appreciate, you know, the good neighbor approach and
if Josh could show the aerial photograph of the parcel and the property line. I understand that parcel
boundaries shown on tax maps do not constitute survey information. But when you zoom in to the
low area there, I see a structure that’s directly on a parcel line. I see a shed, a fire pit and so forth
that is on your property. And trying to be the good neighbor. I take it, you’re just going to let that
stay where it is or is that going to get removed?
Well, you can’t have one or the other. If you want the fence up, if you’re worried
Pg. 175 June 2, 2026 Planning Meeting
about that, put the fence up and then that would not be available.
So, that’s kind of the point that I’m making is that I appreciate the good neighbor,
but it’s going to take all of that away if they have to put up the fence.
Well Derek, that area also has an easement, a drainage easement. So, he’s not going
_ to put this fence..........
Well, no. The point is that the person who lives there has put improvements on
land that they do not own. It’s nice that he’s looking at it and saying, “Okay, he’s got this area. He’s
enjoying in the back. I'll allow him to do that. But if we put in the fence, that’s all going to do
away and it’s not going to be 15 ft off the guy’s trailer, which is very close to the property line. As
these are show, these things could be what, any within 10, 15 ft where they actually are.
Yeah. They’re not...they’re not exact.
On aerial photographs, they don’t quite line up as well as you think.
It’s probably about 10 feet off the building because you can see the sewer the
manholes and, on the survey, we’re you know 5-6 feet from the manholes our property line.
So, I mean, I don’t mind putting in the fence but I also want to point out too that
I am looking at this and saying it’s very nice of you to offer to all him to continue in the space and
putting up the fence, and now you are gonna take that away and now you have stuff that shouldn’t
have been there in the first place.
It’s true but I, you know, I don’t know, maybe I'll get him to do some lawnmowing
for us.
Okay, what do you want to do. You know what? Let’s do this.
I want to point out that this is all south of the stream. This is his fire pit parked south of
the steam. It’s not in the area where we would be doing anything because of the easements and the
stream. And also, earlier back in October, November, Joe was meeting with my CAD person,
Patricia, who has 37 plus years of experience drawing alternatives for DEC. DEC, whenever you’re
doing something, we want to see every alternative. And that’s how we got this final design. We
were on the northeast side, building there, parking there. How much wetlands disturbed? How much
wetlands disturbed? How much buffer is disturbed, and DEC final said we like this layout. So,
from an Engineering standpoint the town wanted this loop road. Now we have the loop road, and
it comes right into he fire tane by the building. We are going to bring water from the north side
from the 12 inch and put a hydrant right as you come into our property and that hydrant will be
about 25 feet off the corner of the building where the fire department connection will be the Siamese
the FDC. There are two fire hydrants within 400 ft, so they meet NFPA 13 for fire hydrants. There
are actually 3 existing fire hydrants within 500 ft. So that’s the road, 1:08:54 so that’s the water.
The sewer we’re connecting, as your sewer department asked, to a manhole at the lowest point
Pg. 176 June 2, 2026 Planning Meeting
where the stream is actually going up, the sewer is going down. So, we have plenty of clearance
going over and tying into the manhole over at BJ’s drainage. We have a very elaborate SWPPP. I
think we’re over $15,000 of SWPPP of all the different alternatives and we meet the most current
regs with the SWPPP. And lastly, traffic was done by Amy over at Passero. So, you know, the big
five, road, water, sewer, drainage, and traffic. From an engineering standpoint, they’re solid. And
I've been doing this for it’ ll be 48 years in July. Time to retire!
So, if you have any questions, I wrote Sunday, all day long. I wrote 6 pages response to all the
questions. I assume you were provide those. If you have any questions about those.
No, there’s a few items marked here that are planning board review for
preliminary site plan that need to be addressed. I don’t wat to go through them all, but there’s like
one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, eight items. That need to be addressed. Like storm
water drainage. Do you have final drawings for all that. Is that all set up?
Yeah, water is draining adequacy tree shrubs, Sorry.
BOTH PARTIES SPEAKING AT THE SAME TIME.
All right. The tree
I would like to caveat that. We have comments regarding their SWPPP. I’m sorry.
I’m sorry, say it again.
We have comments, engineering department has comments regarding their
SWPPP. It is not complete.
Okay. All right. I think we were talking I at PRC and I agree 100%. I think
Josh, yourself... .I think getting a meeting together with representatives from Hegadorn Holdings or
whatever that is there and resolve some of the other issues also that go along with this one being
the cut through road from BJ’s gas. You cannot get through there during the day...That thing is
that road is filled with cars trying to get gas. The road needs to be continued parallel with it next
to it for cars to go on the existing road that cuts through currently an extension of that. There’ a
few different things that need to be resolved in the whole situation here.
I’d be happy to get you know, get together as soon as you guys can.
Yeah, I think this is what’s got....Josh, you in agreement with that. Keith? I
think we talked about that.
I’ve already begun that coordination.
Okay, great.
Pg. 177 June 2, 2026 Planning Meeting
I just found the contact for Widewaters. I have not had a chance to set that meeting.
Okay, that’s good.
And we did talk about that ahead of time, even though it wasn’t on our plate. And
Hegadorns, you know, and we can discuss this in that meeting, but that retention pond that goes to
that on their parcel north of BJ’s that goes out to a curb cute that is a right lane only. And so, if you
were to make that both lanes get a traffic light there, the Hegedorns were okay with running a road
straight down there and then coming down past BJ’s and make a circle right where all these property
lines mix and you could avoid, you know, the BJ’s gas you know, disaster there.
Would that be cutting a parcel in half then though?
No, because there’s nothing that could see.... Josh, you know what I’m talking about?
You got a pond right there. So, it would run right along that straight across there and then come
down right where that loop right there and you put a traffic circle there. Now, You’ve gone by
BJ’s, and you’ ve taken traffic to a traffic light, and you got rid of that right only that everybody’s
taking a left on anyways. Anyways, that’s a potential possible way of you doing it. I don’t see
another way of getting through all those restaurants in a straight line.
Actually, you....you’re in for preliminary. This is a public hearing, so I think
probably be fair if there’s anyone who wishes to speak wither for or against this project. If you’d
like to come up. Now, well, hold on. We’re going to set some rules. This isn’t going to be a
shouting match and it’s not going to be for 15 minutes up there talking. Keep it to 3 minutes and
that’s it. If you can’t say it in 3 minutes, I don’t know what you’re saying after that. So, who wants
to go first? Just give us your name and address and information.
John L. Gambino at 784 Maple Drive. Destroying a wetland and mature trees for a pickle ball
court displays poor judgement. Pickle ball is a short-lived trend. Who remembers the tennis club
of Webster on Phillips Road? That business went through many sports trying to survive, but it
didn’t work. The reason pickle ball is short-lived trend is because it’s marketed heavily to senior
citizens. Nationally, there are about 25,000 emergency room visits annually due to pickle bali
injuries. And 91 % of those visits are for people over the.age of
50. Info about the sports hazards
will catch up and people will start...stop taking the risk. It'll disappear like the boom we saw in
cigar lounges in the 90’s. Remember where those are? A pickle ball facility is just the flavor of the
month and it’s a boondoggle that's not worth destroying a wetland and forest. I don't see this
business surviving five years, but it would make more sense to consider the recently vacated Meyers
RV location. Thank you.
Sean Whipple at 898 Ridge Road. I own Sunset Valley. I guess some people refer to it as a trailer
park, but for everyone in here, it’s a senior citizen community. You have to be over the age of 55
to live there. And my average age of resident is in the 70’s. If I could ask you real quick to pull up
the map of the trailer that is on the line and if you could zoom in that so that everyone can see. This
home is on the boundary line and yes, there’s some sheds and landscaping that is not on the
Pg. 178 June 2, 2026 Planning Meeting
property. I understand that. But what everyone has to understand tonight is that 50 feet off the red
line are going to be volleyball and pickle ball courts. The last time I was in here, you had had 8
pickle bail courts. Now it’s up to nine. It keeps growing and it keeps changing. So, I just don’t
understand why you wouldn't put it on the other side of the BJ’s-Lowe’s road or if the developers
are reluctant to do that, why can they not move the pickle ball and volleyball courts away from the
boundary line? 50 feet off that red line, you’re going to have basically high mark stadium. You're
going to have lights. You’re going to have volleyballs that could actuaily hit the house. And it will
be very, very disruptive. And I know the developer has mentioned, okay, we'll put up some fencing.
What he’s reaily saying is if we encourage him to put up that fencing, he’s going to put it on that
lot line. I'm just...P’m not here to stop the project. I just would like to be a good neighbor. And if
I could ask the board to look at repositioning so the pickle ball or the volleyball is away from that
end of the trailer park and I still think you could look at the other side of the access road. I don’t
know why you have to put it in there. And I encourage everyone on the board to do a Google search
on picklebail noise. Nine courts. There’s going to be leagues. And sure, there might be families
and all that, but it’s going to be a league. The league's going to drive revenue. And you know,
there's hours of operation. And lastly, the developer said, “Well, I'll move the mini golf”. Well, is
the mini golf just going to be flat like putting greens or are there going to be structures? Structures
such as windmills, volcanoes, or stairs? It’s, you know, everything is vague and I encourage the
board to look at the developer and look at, you know, how much development the developers done
and try to be a little more specific on everything instead of just rushing this through. I know this
has been going on. Again, I think, you know, SO feet to have volleyball, it’s going to be leagues.
I’m not opposed to alcohol, but you know, people are going to be having a good time yelling and
screaming and pickle ball is very loud.
Okay, appreciate it.
Christine Whipple at 898 Ridge Road. I’m Sean's wife and also the owner of the property. I don’t
want to reiterate everything. But the developer did say he wants to be a good neighbor. And I’m
confused that Sean did mention it. All the drawing that have been presented, everything's on the
one side of the water retention. And if we are going to then because we want a berm and want
things moved, we’re also going to move a wall over. I don’t see how that’s a good neighbor. There
is a neighbor here that would like to speak, but a proposal that we would love to see is moving the
building closer to the homes because that would then create a buffer of the noise. If you guys have
ever been by pickle ball, right now it is the number one sport that’s having lawsuits, whether it’s a
town or a community, because of the noise. You can Google that, you can chat it, anything you
want to do. As a result, they're asking people to move those away from the residential areas. And
that’s what we're asking. Move the building closer to the residential area. Move the pickle bail
and beach volleyball up towards the roadway. That way, it’s eliminating the volume that’s going
to be close to the residents. They are seniors. Not that they all go to bed early, but a lot of the
pickle ball event area do have leagues that play late at night. So, not only in the noise, but sorry,
also the lighting is going to affect those if all that's going on and they’re trying to go to sleep. We
don’t get a lot of warm day here in Webster, New York. So, people are going to have their windows
opens and they don’t want to hear that constant high-pitch noise that that’s constant. It’s not like
a whistle at a soccer game. So, just some thoughts for the Planning Board. I hope you would
Pg. 179 June 2, 2026 Planning Meeting
recommend before you give them approval or anything moving things around.
Okay, thank you.
Mike Ritter and I do live in the park where Sean owns. The two things that were brought up tonight
which was kind of unique with the DEC saying that I guess the original program was going to be
on the other side and then was going to be on the north side of the road. And since DEC is not
involved anymore and they don’t care about anything anymore and they’re and they're not part of
that, that’s not a bad idea to put it back where it came from over on that side. But if that doesn’t
happen, instead of maybe fencing three, there are landscape things that could be done such as giant
greens. It’s like an arborvitae but it’s deer resistant. So maybe two or three rows giant greens
could be planted instead of a fence. Just something to keep in the back of your mind or the planters
mind, you know, and it still looks green and they look beautiful. I don’t know if anybody really
knows what a giant green is, but you know, they grow tall and fast and they’re and their deer
resistant.
Yeah, and we’ve requested those in other area too, like that saw tooth pattern
with them. You know......
Exactly. And that might, you know, that acts as a fence and you know, the deer don’t
eat them.
Okay, thank you.
My comment is going to be quick. 100-D Kittleberger. It’s my understanding that
this is a little bit premature because the town comprehensive plan which regulates the zoning and
the town code and the 15-year vision of Webster indicates that this is going to be converted the
parcel in question if I’m not mistaken is going to be converted to.....Do you guys know what it’s
going to be converted to very shortly...at the end of this New York State DOS project once it’s
completed mixed use...right? Am I mistaken? It’s going to be mixed use right so we’re talking or
we’re having a conversation about high intensity commercial development. Two days before a
moratorium is put into place. So, from the town’s perspective all of this whole discussion... what is
this about a site plan approval? The site plan approval, if we just put it off 2 days, it’s going to
probably be illegal to develop this development in a mixed use district. Because it’s being converted
from a high intensity commercial district on the zoning map to a mixed use district and then you
got to make the case that this is and then there’s a big moratorium. So, the moratorium 6 months,
we’d have to kick it. If you don’t make the decision tonight to approve it, it’s going to get kicked
down the line 6 months. Potentially another 3 months after that for 6 months for a year, if you’re
following me. And then, they're going to have to make the case that this is this pickle ball facility
is appropriate for a mixed use development. Mixed use being defined as commercia and residential
being developed harmoniously together. But the key point I think is that our town code needs to be
sufficient to address the concerns of residents. Because the number one concern that I have is
customer satisfaction. i.e. increasing resident satisfaction in the town. And the way we do that
neutrally and objectively is through the....? I’m trying to get some feedback here. Is through the
Pg. 180 June 2, 2026 Planning Meeting
Tony or Frank is through the neutral town code, a zoning map that everybody steers and agrees on
because it’s objectively.......
I’m just going to stop you right now. I understand where you’re going, but from a
legal standpoint, the comprehensive plan has-begun, but it’s not done. Right now, we have this
property zone in a particular way and there’s an application that’s been applied for this particular
parcel. We have to legally follow what it currently is. And I understand where you’re going, but
there is an application that’s been put before the board.
I understand where you're going. We’re in agreement. Yeah, but in 2 days from
now when the moratorium gets becomes activated...
We will talk about that at the board meeting for this.......... Speaker is talking at the
same time.
Do you have vested interest in this? Can you state your conflict of interest in this
if it pertains. He says, no conflict of interest.
So, we’re going to.............
Am I saying too much Frank...you want...have I hit the three minutes or are you
going to make an objective standard that I end now?
I limited you to three minutes and answered your question. I probably didn’t have
to, but you.............
I see it was important to you that you get the last word on this. Thank you so
much.
Is there anyone else wishing to speak?
This is actually going to be very brief. I would just like to say that my understanding
is that the applicant has not met the basic standards for preliminary site plan approval. That
concerns of the town have not been addressed and regardless of everything else, this alone means
that approval should not be granted tonight. Thank you.
Okay, is that it?
So, just to clarify a few things, the 50 ft that Mr. Whipple speaks to is totally
inaccurate. It’s 100 ft right now. The 50 foot buffer is there and then there’s another 50 ft before
the volleyball courts. And we’ve already agreed that hey, we’ll move those for them right. Pickle
ball also is not a fad. It is the number one sport in the world right now. It’s grown 311% per year,
which no sport has ever attained. The average age is not senior citizen. The average age is 33 years
Pg. 181 June 2, 2026 Planning Meeting
old. The title last year went to a woman that was 17 years old. First place.
What is the buffer you have?
For the volleyball court? So, it just an outright...
It’s a 100 ft away.
Yeah, it’s just an outright fabrication. But any event...... that’s all they can do that
there. That works, show me.
running into issues like agreement before you put the building
easier to have those pickle ball courts to the north of the building and moving everything down. I
mean, I’m just thinking from... don’t have a vote. I’m just thinking from a legal aspect of where
your lines, your property, your borderline issues that you’re going to run into the putting a fence on
that property, cutting off your property putting a fence for putting the fence or putting the fence
right next so somebody else’s property.
The last I understood, you could put a fence on your property line. I don’t know
where there’s a legal issue there.
There might be a better place.
Well, this gentleman just spoke to arborvitaes, junior arborvitaes. I’m not against that.
You cannot put the fence up, not put junior arborvitaes there, green, you know, not giants because
they...
EVERYONE SPEAKING AT THE SAME TIME.
I think it can be resolved. I think we are okay with this one way or the other.
We need to show something on there. Number one, the other issues we’ ve got, that are outstanding,
the SWPPPs and so forth, we need to have a more clearly defined track with this. And I believe
the first thing we need to do is have a meeting set up with the current owners of the property and
move on from there because we’re...we’ve been going in circles on this thing. As far as the trees,
misinformation is ridiculous. I mean where that feeds from I don’t know but anyways. The trees
can be marked out area where you’re proposing the outdoor activities and so on. I think that can
be done that can be accomplished.
The Fire Marshal had comments about the fire hydrants. You’re saying there is already something.
I don’t know what the deal is with that. That’s something we have to get.
Josh, could you adjust your pointer. Southwest corner of Lowe’s there’s a hydrant I think
that s 475 ft to our building over at BJ’s where we’re showing our sanitary lateral there’s a hydrant
right inside the Monroe County Water Authority easement move up...move up...go left.... The
Pg. 182 June 2, 2026 Planning Meeting
hydrant right there under 400 feet. There’s also one if you go up into the Lowe’s parking lot, you
see right there right at that jiggy jog in the property line.
I’m just going to...town code is 300 feet for fire hydrants.
It’s 300 feet for fire hydrants. 300 feet om a hazard zone. NFPA13. It’s 300 feet in a
hazard zone. This is no Eastland Kodiak chemical processing. Residential subdivisions is typically
500 ft. For this type of commercial, it’s
400. Joe Catalani: The Fire Marshal there, too
and if you have a fully sprinkled building under NFPA 13, the fire marshal can extend
that distance by 50% . So, in my letter here, I said I'd like to sit down and meet with the Fire
Marshal.
Okay, so anyways, and I also indicated that we would be bringing the water
now, not from the east. We’re going to bring it from the north and set a hydrant just as at the corner
right as you’re pulling into the parking lot. That was in my letter from Sunday night when I was
looking at how can we adjust the engineering. Backing up, the only comment I have was on the
SWPPP was that pond, the central pond, the central pond on the central pond on the north section
was mislabeled.
Engineer; HARD TO HEAR WHAT HE IS SAYING...NOT CLOSE TO THE MIC....... pond
five when it’s really on four, but it’s correct in the routing. And now that we’re talking about
moving things all round, the storm sewers are going to change, the routing is going to change, the
acreage is going to change, and we’ll be in SWPPP version
4. What won’t change is the parking lot
, plunge pool, the bio retention, and what’s going on up north. If we slide the building down and
we move the volleyball up by the road and we take the mini golf and we wrap it along the stream,
route it, you know, out and back. Routing it along the stream and then adjust some other things in
the courtyard. Totally different plan. The other thing I want to say is for anybody really old like me,
Bright and Sound, we used to do sound reinforcement, and my dad was faculty at Fisher and one
year they had Bright and Sound in there for commencement and he said it was amazing. We could
actually hear because it wasn’t loud, it was volume. So, if you’ ve got proper sound, it’s not pushing
out loud. It’s just creating volume. Again, that’s not my problem if it blue grass all to............
Right now, we’ re at a public hearing and we’re still going back and forth on this. It
sounds like we need to table this, and we still have four applications to go through tonight.
Okay, Josh, can you go to the parking lot for a second.
This is still a public hearing. We’re not reviewing the application right now.
I guess you guys got to know what you want the board to do. Do you want us to vote
on this?
Pg. 183 June 2, 2026 Planning Meeting
You guys are jumping all over the place. Let’s get together. Number one, if this
thing is tabled, does that cause it to fall under the moratorium?
Potentially. We’d have to vet that with our legal staff.
Why not do a preliminary based on the things that we’ ve talked about making changes
in that meeting? We can...I’m not opposed to moving some of those things for the neighbors. The
building has been moved three times, four times. That’s pretty much where it is.
It’s a lot of conditions. It sounds like it would be a whole revised application in
order for us to vote on a preliminary and then eventually start seeker on it.
I don’t know. To me, once a project has been in as often as this has, I don’t
know how you say that is shouldn’t go there. We’re putting a moratorium on building. This is
something that’s already started and got a project that’s underway. Doesn’t make sense to me to
stop it.
I understand what your saying, but we came to this meeting about three months
ago or so and actually met with the developer outside and told them our concerns. And at that time,
he told us it was going to be addressed. We’ ve been into the town numerous times. None of that
stuff has been addressed on any of this. He knew what was going on with this meeting. He knew
that in a couple days that moratorium was going to go into play. So, that was his choice not to come
prepared and have the town have the information. Moving that building could help eliminate some
of that noise. And Josh, if you could pull up the one where it’s kind of larger, if you can see where
the water retention is, he is developing on the other side of that. So, I don’t understand why that’s
all of a sudden changing and the footage and all that changing when that’s where he was initially
going to do the....So, you see the pickle ball which is extremely loud.
See, your concern is for you. There’s a whole lot of concerns with...
Well, it’s not for me. I’m sorry, it’s not for me. What it is, is a development
which is 53 residents that are living in affordable housing which you don’t want to lose.
Hold on. Slow down and take a breath. J understand what you’ re saying and I
agree with you. I’m not disagreeing. What I’m simply saying is there are so many other things in
here. That’s one of them. We’ve already discussed that. We said we would try and resolve that
and come up with something with that. But now we’re getting into other things here. And where
do we stand is beyond me.
Which and I think is what we’re asking. That they don’t get approval tonight
because a lot of the questions have not been answered that were asked three months ago. All of
these were brought to his attention. He has not given that information. We’ve given suggestions
how we could move stuff around, but he’s never changed anything. This is what I saw three months
ago.
Pg. 184 June 2, 2026 Planning Meeting
Okay, we gotcha.
So, my concern is it’s trying to get pushed through to meet deadlines. And I
don’t think that’s fair to the residents of Sunset Valley or all the other people in Webster. So, I
hope you really think of that.
Okay. Thank you.
Lastly, what she just said is totally fiction. We never talked about doing any of that.
Yeah, we sat out there and I gave you the plans. I never said I was going to move the building. I
never said I was going to move anything. So anyways.... AUDIENCE MEMBER KEPT
SPEAKING.
PLEASE
So, anyways, we have done all or our P’s and Q’s as the PRC meeting has given us
comments, we’ ve came back and addressed every...all of those comments a number of times. Now,
just because we’ re going to, you know, on the eve switch a few things to make some people happy
shouldn’t push us out if that’s that case.
No, I don’t think that’s the only issue though. I mean I...they’ve got concerns
but there are other concerns here too with the town that have yet to be addressed. Some of these
things right here: SWPPPS, issues you have right, correct yet to be addressed. I think this ...if this
project falls in an area where it can continue on without falling under this new programs for stopping
the development. I’m okay with table bling this thing and saying let’s keep it going. That’s up to
the Town board. I don’t know where they stand with that or how that’s going to be acted. This is
something that’s been in and to me it’s something that should not be stopped.
What you could also do is preliminary and then if it’s not done for final then don’t
accept.
(both parties speaking at the same time)
1 want to make it clear that no matter what if we’re not intentionally delaying or
stopping this there’s just issues that have been set forth that ...I mean no, we’re not stonewalling
you. I get it’s not bad faith and all, but we’re just trying to make sure that.......
I think it’s very important that this, you know, Keith has already said, he began
to set up a meeting.
Yeah, I’ve set that up, but that’s a larger discussion with Widewaters. That’s not
necessarily specific to this project or any other.
Pg. 185 June 2, 2026 Planning Meeting
And I would say the few things that come up in SWPPP we can handle in a meeting
and if not then don’t approve us for final. But we’ve been here many times for preliminary, new
comments have come up. We’ve changed things. We changed the SWPPP four times. We've
changed and understand. Okay, each time maybe there’s something that’s not, you know, perfect,
okay, we’ll address that. But why not do preliminary and then if we don’t show the proper few
items that are remaining then don’t give us final approval.
Again, the trees would have to be marked, that should have been done. I
understand the proposed building’s going that’s nothing there are other areas but the area we’re
showing is recreational area. It’s quite a large area. It’s probably have the parcel and required for
preliminary approval. I don’t know. Ican’t....we’re trying to work with you on it. Ican’t see how
we can. I’]l put it up to the board. I mean, you folks tell me what you think.
I don’t think enough items have been addressed since the sketch plan and
incorporated in the preliminary in order for this to proceed through preliminary approval.
Board agreed.
I might not want to call a vote.
I think probably for a matter of record, the five items that you have highlighted,
we probably ought to read them into the record.
I would like to see though that the town board considers this to be a review
that’s continuing, you know, going on and not be held up now for...if it was a project that just came
in, yeah understand that. But when a project is gone to the extent and the dollars that this has cost
already. I mean, I don’t think it’s fair to say we’re stopping you I don’t think that would be...
So, I'll just chime in. In the event that the town board decides to pass the moratorium
on Thursday, there is an existing provision in the proposed language that would allow for an
applicant to apply from relief due to extenuating circumstances and that would be up to the Town
Board.
Okay, oh that’s at least there’s something there.
(NOT SPEAKING INTO THE MIC OR SPEAKING LOUD ENOUGH) Obvisioyly,
as Tony Said, you spent time and money relative to that and hopefully there would be some kind
of escape from the moratorium that could be provided as a waiver. But you have, I think we’re
crossing hurdles, we can talk about that. Probably in another time, but it doesn’t make sense right
now with these outstanding issues. But it’s up to you; the applicant if he want to have us continue.
Frank, I am not an attorney. I’m an Engineer but I am the engineer of record
for Dorschel Lexus when Toyota announced the Lexus product, and we had Rick Dorsel’s site plan
into the Henrietta Planning Board.
Pg. 186 June 2, 2026 Planning Meeting
Yeah, but that doesn’t do anything for us here.
Then John Holtz came in and the board put a moratorium on car dealerships
while Rick’s application was active and there was a lawsuit and Rick got to build his Lexus.
Well, hopefully we don’t have to go that far.
I’m just saying, what’ I’m hearing is an active project.
I’m not going to make any legal representation today, but I obviously if there is that
provision in the moratorium......
...... should not want competition for BMW and Mercedes.
We never want a legal issue, but you know.
All right let’s move on with this.
Charlotte Kabili at 651 Cumberland Way (DID NOT SIGN IN) I ama conservation board member,
and I wanted to mention that the conservation board goes out to each site at the sketch plan review
phase and we give recommendations to the Planning Board in a number of criteria including
wetlands, trees, erosion, visual impacts, and other environmental protections like habitat. So, I
wanted to make sure it’s very clear to the group here in the room that we have provided input to
the Planning Board and some of that input is already being reflected into discussions and that’s
great. So, one of the things I wanted to mention was that anytime a conservation board goes out
on site we are there with the site plan with us and we can see the markings, and it is that nuanced.
So, things like buildings moving arounds, courts, positioning changing, that will affect how the
conservation board makes recommendations to the Planning Board to account for environmental
sensitivities. That’s really important. So, I just wanted to echo some earlier remarks that at final-
preliminary site plan in a good stage is very helpful for the environmental protections as well.
Dennis, feel free to add if you’d like.
Okay, thank you. You know, we’ve got a long agenda going here Dennis.
(VEVER STATED HIS NAME OR SIGNED IN) One of the things I was glad to
hear is about we did notice there area a number of large trees that were marked on there in the
areas that’s not going to have a building. You’d mentioned having those marked so that they can
be identified and kept as well as they can be. I’m concerned about a mechanism to make sure that
who marks them, who checks them, who makes sure they stay in. It seemed very nebulous to me.
I’m not sure what the protocol is, but it needs to be a pretty strict protocol because we did identify
a lot of them. And if there’s big changes, we probably should do another site review.
Al right, what ware we going to do here?
Pg. 187 June 2, 2026 Planning Meeting
Mike Marinaccio at 11 Westover Drive: (DID NOT SIGN IN) So, this doesn’t really affect me, but
I love pickle ball. I play Dinkers all the time. I think it’s a great sport, but I think the noise issue ts
huge. And I think those courts need to be moved away from the people because here’s a recording.
This is from Clarance where they just added pickle ball courts. This is 11:00 at night. I’m probably
like 300 feet and it’s loud. And if you’re talking about how many courts there are......
9 (speaking from the audience)
Mike Marinaccio at 11 Westover Drive: It’s going to be loud, and people are going to be yelling
and screaming and having fun. So, the other questions, or concern I would also add, is what time
would they be shut down?
9 -9:30 (speaking from the audience)
Okay. What ae we doing? We’re going to table this with some....we have to
put something in the resolution. Make a motion to table it for further information, I guess. Results
of a meeting between the town and the developer, right? What do you think?
Talking from the audience
I’m trying not to close the public hearing because if we table it, I don’t want it
to be a finished product. I want to keep the meeting open but I’m asking you please refrain for a
little bit. We won’t close the public hearing when this comes back. Then will have a continuation
of the public hearing and that’s my intent to do this. Okay, so please bear with me now. Okay, all
right.

Located at 423, 425 & 429 Ridge Rd and 1036
and 1036A Bay Rd. Applicant Scott Measday, LS. is requesting PRELIMINARY SITE PLAN
APPROVAL in association with a proposed re-subdivision (lot line adjustments) of 5-single-
family residential lots into 4-single-family residential lots on 2.5 acres having SBL# 078.18-2-9,
SBL# 078.18-2-10.2, SBL# 078. 18-2-10.1, SBL# 078.18-2-11.11 and SBL# 078. 18-2-11.2
located in the R-3 Single-Family Residential District under Sections 269-11, 296-14 and 350-12
of the Code of the Town of Webster.
Appearing before the board was Walt Baker, DSB Engineers. I am here on behalf of FC Martin
LLC for the properties mentioned now in the corner of Bay and Ridge Road. As the board will
recall, this application was in front of you back in April and at that time it was tabled, and we do
have five lots and as the board will recall the lot lines for these buildings basically 3 out 5 go through
the buildings. These properties were actually subdivided and deeded back in the early what 50,60
years ago. So, our proposal is to re subdivide the lots and clean up the property lines basically.
And as you recall, there’s five lots. And 2 months ago, there was concerns with the two large or
the one .... Two larger pieces actually on Bay Road, 1036 and 1036A. How that got subdivided,
we’ re not quite sure, but there was a house towards the front of Bay Road, and then behind it was
a guest house and the utilities, as we discussed. Well, you discussed, I wasn’t here at that meeting
two months ago. I was called in after the tabling effect and the utilities for that rear building are
actually situated inside the basement of the front building. So, it was built as a guest facility, a
guest house if you will with the utilities in the front building and they ran to the rear building and
obviously making the subdivision with five lots brought on some difficulties. I contacted RG&E
and moving the utilities would be pretty difficult and expensive to do. So, we discussed it with the
developers and proposed going to four lots and leaving the larger lot at 1.8 acres with the two
structures on it, the main house and the guest house. So that kind of resolves the major issue about
the utilities on Bay Road and they are also on septic system where the three houses on Bay Road
or I’m sorry, three houses on Ridge Road are all on public utilities, water and sewer, electricity, all
separate, but the tow on Bay Road have the septic system designs from back in the 1930’s and 40’s.
He asked us to locate those which we had Dean Bay, who everybody’s familiar with Dean Bay in
town. He’s a premier septic system installer. So, we contacted Dean and he located the facilities.
We had the surveyor go out there and located them and put them on the map which you requested.
And also, there was an issue with drainage with the neighbor to the south and he’s here tonight. If
you have any questions for him and I think he’d like, make a statement but he had drainage issues
where the water’s ponding with that southern access road that goes towards the back building. So,
with the developer Jim Guck, we had a contractor go out there and installed a 15 inch drainage
culvert underneath that driveway and it completely drained the dead spot on the neighbor’s property
so we corrected that, located the septic systems, and we’re proposing the four lots instead of five
and the map you see has the best we could do with locating property lines, so they don’t go through
buildings. Obviously, we’re needing to go to the Zoning Board to get variances because we can’t
comply with the R-3 zoning which came about. I’m not exactly sure what the new R-3 was put
into effect. It’s gotten updated over the years. I think last time it was updated was 1990, but the 15
Pg. 189 June 2, 2026 Planning Meeting
foot side setbacks, the existing buildings, like I mentioned, were built over 50 years ago and we
tried to located them. So, we’re going to need to go to the Zoning Board to get the variances to try
to balance the best lot line we can because they’re existing properties, existing tax account numbers,
and so we need relief on the setback variances. Do you have any questions
The house in the back there, that was the septic system. They put a new one in,
I believe, didn’t they?
We put a new septic tank in. Correct. When we contacted Dean Bay, he went out there
and inspected them and located the leech lines and I guess there was concerns from one of the
neighbors about...are they in good working order and found out that the septic tank at the rear
structure was bad. It was an old steel tank. Remember those, Jen, yeah, back in the day they used
to have steel. So, now he took it out and put a new concrete septic tank in.
Well, I guess this is a crazy situation. The whole thing, the way it was all laid
out originally and god knows how that ever got approved.
I don’t know either, but it did. This is unique.
I think you’ve rectified it as best you can. Just reduce it...was five lots, turn
that down to four by just making them one large with the frame metal barn and one story frame
house in the back metal building. Anybody any concerns with that? We had...we locked at it before.
That was a mess. (BOTH PARTIES SPEAKING AT THE SAME TIME) They’ ve
done a pretty good job on this.
We tried to meet the side setback of 15 feet. We could do that on a couple to the north
which was lot two and three. On the north end of that, but on the south end the way the buildings
were positioned like I said over 50 years ago. We basically have like 15 feet between buildings, so
we split that and try to get a balance of 7 4 feet.
Yeah, if it gets all the variances, I think that will clean that whole site up and
that will be the end of it.
No, I appreciate the due diligence on this and finding a septic tank. That’s very
helpful. I think the only question I had was just the ...not sure how to verbally explain this, but
there’s a frame barn on the northwestern has a utility line that goes to a pole, then a metal barn. So,
you have power coming from a parcel going to a parcel that isn’t part of the parcel anymore. Does
that make sense. So, Josh, do you see where the two utility poles are ? Move your cursor a little bit
more to the northeast there. Nope, east. Keep going right. Right there, so you have two poles right
there. I wish there was a take control feature here. The dark squares. So, those are two poles. See
how there’s electrical line that goes to the metal barn to the right, but it coming from a framed barn
to the left and they’re on two separate parcels.
Pg. 190 June 2, 2026 Planning Meeting
Well, the owner’s here tonight, Jim Guck, and he informed me that he had that line
removed. So, there’s no power to the barn.
Yep. That’s all I had.
So, that line is taken out then.
It’s been removed. And like I mentioned, I think one of the bigger issues was the
drainage for the neighbor to the south. So, we looked into that and had the surveyor do some,
limited topo out there and he was able to verify where the best location was to put a cross cover
culvert for that driveway and eliminate that problem.
Again, this is a public hearing. This is for preliminary approval. If there’s any
neighbors that have any concerns or issues, okay, I’m not seeing any. We will close the public
hearing and bring it back to the board. Everybody’s pretty much satisfied, I believe, with what
they’ ve done, right?
This is unique because at one level it looks like it is a subdivision but in reality,
it is simply the adjustment of lot lines when it boils down to that level that’s all it’s really being
done as changing in lot lines So that in mind it winds up being a TYPE II action. So....
BAY-RIDGE CORNER RESUBDIVISION
The Town of Webster Planning Board considered the request by Applicant Scott Measday, LS to
re-subdivide five single family parcels located at 423,425 and 429 Ridge Road and 1036 and

RG&E STATION 73: Located at 891 Klem Road. Applicant Eric Thorne is requesting FINAL
SITE PLAN APPROVAL in association with the modernization of an existing RG&E
electrical substation on a 0.77-acre parcel having SBL# 064. 14-2-17 located in the R-2 Single
Family Residential District under Sections 269-11 and 350-11 under the Code of the Town of
Webster.
Appearing before the board was Eric Thorne. Thank you planning board for meeting with us
today as it pertains to the final site plan application for the proposed upgrade and modernization
of the RG&E substation located at 891 Klem Road. I am Eric Thorne and I am part of the
permitting team at RG&E and with me I have Reneer Garnica and he is the project manager
on the project. Following the preliminary meeting that was held April 7". RG&E has since
gone before the Zoning Board of Appeals in which variances were granted, and we received
the official approval notification on April 14 of 2026. RG&E also did receive the preliminary
approval letter from the Planning Board from the April 7" meeting in which conditional items
were outlined, and they were considered by the project team and updates to the site design and
were completed accordingly.
These include extending the landscaping on the east side of the station, providing a reference
to signage on the substation fence, updating the proposed flow path for the perimeter drainage,
and including a reference for dewatering during construction. The concern regarding
vegetative screening along Hojack Trail was also addressed in those updates and updated
package has been provided with the final site plan application as well as a revised render set
and a letter of response to those conditions outlined in the preliminary approval.
One point of note, it was recently identified to us that the updated landscape plan had been
Pg. 197 June 2, 2026 Planning Meeting
accidentally left our of the original final application submittal. That drawing was shared
electronically on Friday at 5/29 to the Town of Webster for consideration with this application.
Additionally, on May 28", RG&E did receive the latest PRC comments and those are currently
under review. However, due to the tight turnaround before today’s meeting the relevant
drawing updates you know were not able to be addressed and provided for this discussion
today.
I am happy to run through each of the design updates one by one, but I first wanted to turn the
conversation over to the board to see if there were any specific comments or questions that you
wanted to start with.
The only thing I had was and you agreed to and it was in the resolution for
preliminary was to, you know, create a hip roof on the ends instead of the gable ends to kind
of take the height out of it, but that never happened, I guess.
Yeah, so, we did bring that back to our design team and what came out of that
was the choice for the gable roof, which was part of the original sketch plan and comments
that we received from the board. It was considered to be the most appropriate solution for the
small scale building. As it offers a cost efficiency, construction simplicity and reduce
maintenance without compromising property functionality, and performance of the building.
Related to the cost efficiencies, a simpler design allows for fewer matertals, less labor and
faster and easier to construct and reduce construction time which minimizes potential errors
during construction. And just the fewer ridges with the gable roof along with joints and
connection points certainly allow for fewer problems such as leaks to develop which is
important when we’re dealing with electric infrastructure. And inspections and repairs are
certainly more straightforward from a maintenance perspective.
So, therefore, you know, we did take the hip roof into consideration, but we still feel that the
gable roof is a better design for the small scale building.
Okay, anybody any concerns or whatever you want?
It looks like they did address the comments that we had.
What happened to the east side of the property along that property with
residential houses? We talked about that. I guess you got that in there.
Yes, we did. We increased the landscaping.
And they pulled in some of the fencing there and the gravel too for a swale.
Okay. Again, this is a public hearing of anyone who wants to speak.
It’s not a public hearing.

Oh, I’m sorry, it isn’t a public hearing, Kevin. Sorry. I thought it was.

under the Code of the Town of Webster.
Appearing before the board was George Baker, Webster Union Cemetery. We’re trying to
expand a cemetery. We’re getting low on inventory and if we don’t have inventory, we don’t
have a business.
That’s not a good thing, is it. That’s a heck of a sales pitch.
Pg. 200 June 2, 2026 Planning Meeting
It’s as simple as that. Well, the division of cemeteries, which is part of the state,
says we have to come and ask the town if it’s okay to expand the cemetery, to do what we want
to do. So, that’s why I’m here.
