1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,180 Board meeting of May 2nd. The first item on the agenda is a public hearing for what was once 2 00:00:08,180 --> 00:00:15,280 known as Fuelco is now called North Salem Food Mart. Donna, I'd like confirmation that 3 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:21,700 the notice appeared in the newspaper and have you received the confirmation from the applicant 4 00:00:21,700 --> 00:00:31,120 of notice to neighbors. Thank you. I'm going to give a very quick history of this and then ask 5 00:00:31,980 --> 00:00:36,860 Kevin, let me say Masiovecchio, to take over. 6 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:46,000 So just for everybody's edification, this applicant, this application is for the event 7 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:51,780 and gas station, that is at the corner of Filslein and Hardscrable Road. 8 00:00:54,400 --> 00:01:01,120 The fact that it closed down for more than a year meant that it needed a use variance from 9 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:07,660 the Board of Appeals. We actually worked very closely with the ARB, the Board of Appeals, 10 00:01:07,740 --> 00:01:12,860 and all the other involved agencies to come to a conclusion in an approvals a year ago. 11 00:01:13,460 --> 00:01:20,000 But absent the approval from the city, the applicant came in and wanted to do some slight 12 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:29,160 modifications to the main building on this site. And that is what's prompted this current 13 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:33,920 review and this public hearing. So with that, Kevin, would you please introduce 14 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:38,420 anybody who's here tonight on behalf of the applicant and then give us a quick 15 00:01:38,420 --> 00:01:43,220 overview on the changes. Great. Good evening. I'm Kevin Meshevecchio with the 16 00:01:43,220 --> 00:01:49,000 JMC and here tonight is Giuseppe, the project architect and Sam Oli, as well 17 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:54,940 the tenant. And we're here to open the public hearing tonight and we're here to 18 00:01:54,940 --> 00:01:59,480 that the previous meeting and if there are any other questions with the site plans we're 19 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,640 here to answer them and we're here to answer any questions you may have with the building 20 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,220 or any other changes since the last meeting. 21 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,220 Okay and is there any there aren't any members of the public here for this tonight now? 22 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:18,920 Let's see that. So at the last meeting we actually re-issued the negative declaration and we also 23 00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:21,260 So it was either the last meeting or the one before it. 24 00:02:21,900 --> 00:02:26,820 We, the planning board, were happy with everything that was being proposed. 25 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,820 We've sent you over to the Board of Appeals for the few variances that you need. 26 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:37,620 And more importantly, we've sent you over to the Architectural Review Board because, unlike 27 00:02:37,620 --> 00:02:45,540 the previously designed building, the one that was presented to us most recently, last one 28 00:02:45,540 --> 00:02:45,960 we saw. 29 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:54,400 Has severe absence of windows and R2 viewsheds that we were concerned about was the frontage 30 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,780 on field's lane and the side that faces hard-scrable road? 31 00:02:59,420 --> 00:03:04,500 So I believe that you've gone over to the architecture view board and you're still in the middle 32 00:03:04,500 --> 00:03:05,860 of that conversation with that? 33 00:03:06,260 --> 00:03:06,540 Yes. 34 00:03:07,340 --> 00:03:11,720 I think you guys might have received a plan that we sent over today and I was going to ask 35 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,500 So just have to come up and explain a little more, 36 00:03:13,620 --> 00:03:14,120 if you guys will like. 37 00:03:14,620 --> 00:03:17,640 OK, you can do that, but we're not going to get too involved. 38 00:03:17,780 --> 00:03:20,200 We really want you to finish up with the ARB. 39 00:03:21,300 --> 00:03:24,460 But sure, come on up and do a quick one. 40 00:03:24,820 --> 00:03:25,460 Just grab a new one. 41 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:27,620 Do 42 00:03:31,270 --> 00:03:34,230 you want me to reduce this or show anything else? 43 00:03:34,710 --> 00:03:35,110 Just let me know. 44 00:03:35,590 --> 00:03:38,530 Yeah, no, I mean, the main facade is this. 45 00:03:38,530 --> 00:03:53,010 So, as you can see, the big difference from the previous elevation was we had the glasses, 46 00:03:53,830 --> 00:04:05,210 we had the windows on the size of the main entrance and also the pavement on the main entrance 47 00:04:05,210 --> 00:04:13,710 above with the cupola on top. So in this way, we just reflected and respect 48 00:04:13,710 --> 00:04:19,270 towards the previous meeting, the comments, what was. This is the typical 49 00:04:19,270 --> 00:04:27,450 architecture, maybe also in this area. And on the right, on the left side we 50 00:04:27,450 --> 00:04:28,630 Yeah, they'll also the windowed. 51 00:04:29,330 --> 00:04:30,390 You added the window. 52 00:04:30,770 --> 00:04:31,370 The windowed. 53 00:04:31,530 --> 00:04:34,090 So, I mean, just one minute, Mike. 54 00:04:34,690 --> 00:04:37,970 What's important to us is that we 55 00:04:37,970 --> 00:04:41,410 see that you are going to maintain some stone 56 00:04:41,910 --> 00:04:43,870 to the front, and these are remains. 57 00:04:44,350 --> 00:04:45,890 And you're still working with the ARB. 58 00:04:46,410 --> 00:04:49,090 The one thing I do want to point out to you 59 00:04:49,090 --> 00:04:52,510 is when you go back to the ARB and you start working with them 60 00:04:52,510 --> 00:04:55,770 through all of these features, you should really pull up 61 00:04:55,770 --> 00:04:59,990 the last one that was approved and review what the- 62 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:27,620 Board of Appeals said, because I think they had some commentary on it too. I don't think we really want to get too involved with it. We'd much rather see you finish your work with the ARB. Get them to a point where they really like the character of this building that it reflects what we're looking for for North Salem and then come back to us with that.

That's one thing that we have to verify, but the driveway is clearly on our property. 192 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:17,600 He doesn't have a necessary apartment as well, does he? Oh, I don't know that answer.

204 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:12,860 Right, fine. 205 00:16:14,900 --> 00:16:17,140 He just sent all of this over. 206 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,160 I think it's digestible. 207 00:16:24,140 --> 00:16:24,380 Okay. 208 00:16:26,260 --> 00:16:29,480 That's the existing residence on the existing residence on the existing property. 209 00:16:29,900 --> 00:16:32,580 And his driveway leaves around like this. 210 00:16:32,580 --> 00:16:33,020 Oh, 211 00:16:36,460 --> 00:16:42,060 no, there was just a general question about whether or not how many residences there were on the joining property. 212 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,580 So the driveway for the pre-existing home over here is way over here? 213 00:16:46,820 --> 00:16:46,980 Yes. 214 00:16:49,010 --> 00:16:52,370 So it's a pretty simple two-lots subdivision? 215 00:16:53,490 --> 00:16:54,090 We think so. 216 00:16:54,390 --> 00:16:57,610 A lot of self-dividing is vacant?

And by the way, just another simple note, where we are coming off that existing driveway, there is sort of a little wood road path between those between those two steep slopes that that extend up into the house side. Yeah. So there'll be very little grading going on in there as well. 261 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:29,540 Do you know the grade of the existing driveway? Is it meet our code off fan? I don't, but I'll check on that. 262 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,440 But everything else you're designing will meet the code. Oh, sure. 263 00:20:42,090 --> 00:20:44,570 Is this a propote like a 264 00:20:44,570 --> 00:20:47,310 turnaround area? Yeah, it's a front motor cord. 265 00:20:51,930 --> 00:20:53,710 I don't have any other questions 266 00:20:53,710 --> 00:20:54,510 anybody else. 267 00:20:56,550 --> 00:21:00,570 So I assume you're going to move forward with an application for 268 00:21:00,570 --> 00:21:00,870 separation. 269 00:21:04,390 --> 00:21:06,690 Unless you're going to be compelling reason why not? 270 00:21:09,580 --> 00:21:16,220 Unless Lewis Barrow says Barrow. All right, so I'm going to have you stay at the podium 271 00:21:16,220 --> 00:21:22,260 because we're going to bring out the next item on the agenda which is a grant 272 00:21:22,260 --> 00:21:25,580 road property. And I'm 273 00:21:29,070 --> 00:21:30,830 still barren at them and I'm normally planning an 274 00:21:30,830 --> 00:21:31,090 engineering. 275 00:21:33,860 --> 00:21:38,700 Alright we are in the R2 zoning district now on grant road. 276 00:21:40,670 --> 00:21:48,590 Correct. Here we have 15.38 acres in the R2 zone and again there's an existing 277 00:21:48,590 --> 00:21:50,690 residents that we see and 278 00:21:54,530 --> 00:21:59,270 existing residents and tennis court closer to the road and an 279 00:21:59,270 --> 00:22:05,410 existing pool in the rear. And in the very back of the property there's a very low-lying 280 00:22:06,570 --> 00:22:15,870 floodplain wetland, don't go near it, type area. So you know we're certainly we're going to be 281 00:22:15,870 --> 00:22:23,490 creating this 4.7 acre lot, which will, again, 282 00:22:23,650 --> 00:22:25,070 orient everybody. 283 00:22:25,190 --> 00:22:25,330 Okay. 284 00:22:25,850 --> 00:22:27,370 And this is the Titicus River. 285 00:22:27,550 --> 00:22:31,110 And on the other side is the ball field behind the No Semifire House. 286 00:22:32,050 --> 00:22:34,530 So it looks like across the river from the ball field. 287 00:22:36,350 --> 00:22:36,870 Okay. 288 00:22:37,190 --> 00:22:41,570 So, I mean, you really can't see anything from the ball field because it's all of this woods. 289 00:22:43,290 --> 00:22:45,550 And yes, the Titicus River goes on the back of the property. 290 00:22:45,550 --> 00:22:50,910 And when you're on Grant Road, this tennis court is the one that has all those pine trees around it. 291 00:22:51,230 --> 00:22:51,370 Right. 292 00:22:51,510 --> 00:22:55,610 This is kind of stands out because it's like the only pine trees in the area. 293 00:22:57,010 --> 00:22:59,530 By the intersection with June Road or... 294 00:22:59,530 --> 00:23:00,430 It's south of... 295 00:23:00,430 --> 00:23:06,750 June would be over here, going up and down, and Grant Road would come up and meet 116, which goes across the top. 296 00:23:07,270 --> 00:23:09,390 So if I bring this location map back up, 297 00:23:10,270 --> 00:23:19,150 This is June. This is Grant Road 121, taking you up to Titicus Road going across. So it's 298 00:23:19,150 --> 00:23:23,150 like in the middle of that triangle. And here is the firehouse. 299 00:23:27,110 --> 00:23:34,090 And on this lot, we do have a wetland slash watercourse that traverses across the frontage 300 00:23:34,090 --> 00:23:39,370 of the property. So what we're looking to do for access here to avoid any additional 301 00:23:39,370 --> 00:23:46,170 crossings of the wetland slash water course. There was a subdivision next door 302 00:23:46,170 --> 00:23:56,310 that had a driveway proposed as shown and once it gets across that crossing we 303 00:23:56,310 --> 00:24:01,130 could readily come off of that location and come in and access the 304 00:24:01,130 --> 00:24:07,290 additional residence without impacting the crossing again and the crossing is 305 00:24:07,290 --> 00:24:13,770 actually is actually there. The Breiter Trail Association has a trail that comes 306 00:24:13,770 --> 00:24:18,110 off along that driveway and there is a culvert in head walls and filled that 307 00:24:18,110 --> 00:24:22,630 are across the watercourse at this point. I don't know when that was done it was 308 00:24:22,630 --> 00:24:29,730 like that when they bought the property but that is existing and again we'll have 309 00:24:29,730 --> 00:24:34,290 full surveys and well-inverification and so on. 310 00:24:35,870 --> 00:24:36,950 That's in this area? 311 00:24:37,370 --> 00:24:37,550 Yes. 312 00:24:37,910 --> 00:24:39,390 That's the existing crossing. 313 00:24:40,030 --> 00:24:43,170 But just to be clear, this driveway was never built. 314 00:24:43,790 --> 00:24:46,070 No, but it's a trail. 315 00:24:46,450 --> 00:24:47,170 It is a trail now. 316 00:24:47,590 --> 00:24:48,250 But it was never built. 317 00:24:48,670 --> 00:24:48,850 Correct. 318 00:24:49,830 --> 00:24:53,770 Do you know the accrued plans for that include an upgrade to that call for crossing? 319 00:24:55,670 --> 00:24:59,950 No, I think the cover crossing came after the... 320 00:25:13,060 --> 00:25:23,560 That was on the planning board when this was re-established. And we didn't go through a full review because 321 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:29,820 it was like a pre-existing lot with a resetting, I think it had a lot line with that. 322 00:25:29,820 --> 00:25:31,400 Yes, I think it was a lot line change, yeah. 323 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:35,500 Yeah, so it was given that it was a pre-existing lot. 324 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,000 And do you know if they're crossing existed at that time? 325 00:25:38,380 --> 00:25:42,660 Well, this is a section of the- 326 00:25:42,660 --> 00:25:43,900 Right, you were kind enough to- 327 00:25:43,900 --> 00:25:44,200 That was a mile. 328 00:25:45,020 --> 00:25:49,260 Right, but you were kind enough to give me a copy of that as well. 329 00:25:52,370 --> 00:25:55,810 And I think if I pull the file out of the vault, I'm not going to find any detail. 330 00:26:01,390 --> 00:26:12,190 which kind of makes me ask the question, they're going to have to go through a wetland permit process and kind of reestablish that this driveway is viable as proposed. 331 00:26:12,690 --> 00:26:17,210 It's been a long time since those wetlands were looked at and verified. 332 00:26:19,230 --> 00:26:22,150 It's going to be where it's going to land, but we don't know that. 333 00:26:22,370 --> 00:26:27,770 And we do know that there's going to be improvements within 100 feet of the wetland, so therefore absolutely a wetland permit. 334 00:26:28,270 --> 00:26:38,910 I mean, this is obviously only a one little piece of the entire puzzle of that application, but one of the things I noted is that it doesn't even recognize if there's a stream or on the map. 335 00:26:39,270 --> 00:26:39,370 Right. 336 00:26:39,370 --> 00:26:45,070 But it doesn't mean the other maps don't, but that's kind of interesting. 337 00:26:47,190 --> 00:26:49,990 Very approach to the owner about getting the needs and to use them. 338 00:26:52,030 --> 00:26:54,730 Yes, and there is the ability to do that. 339 00:26:55,070 --> 00:26:56,170 It's the same owner, isn't it? 340 00:26:57,010 --> 00:26:57,110 No. 341 00:26:57,250 --> 00:27:00,390 Different LLCs but the underlying owner is the same. 342 00:27:03,740 --> 00:27:04,620 That won't be an issue. 343 00:27:04,900 --> 00:27:05,500 It won't be an issue. 344 00:27:05,500 --> 00:27:06,100 The 345 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,920 line is not simply as before we put the subdivision 346 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,740 in light for a little better understanding of that right way. 347 00:27:16,020 --> 00:27:17,320 It needs to be done to make it. 348 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:18,400 Yes. 349 00:27:19,100 --> 00:27:19,740 Oh, sure. 350 00:27:20,020 --> 00:27:20,940 I've been here again. 351 00:27:20,940 --> 00:27:21,700 I'll ask about the other one. 352 00:27:21,740 --> 00:27:22,900 About that drive line. 353 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,920 We need surveys, designs, wetland verification. 354 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:26,520 Yeah. 355 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:30,260 I'll make you know the simultaneously with the subdivision. 356 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:35,360 Not only that, this is going to be a DOT permit here, because this is a state road. 357 00:27:35,500 --> 00:27:36,380 We would need improvements. 358 00:27:36,380 --> 00:27:41,260 So that we don't know if the DOT ever approved the cut where it is. 359 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:43,260 So we have to do that. 360 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:47,220 Is there a wood road there or is it just a cold report?

So you want to see them over the fence. Correct. Yeah 539 00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,800 One thing that we did notice is that there are two 540 00:39:48,900 --> 00:39:53,360 Propane above ground propane tanks here and I spoke to the building inspector 541 00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:59,880 I was trying to they're not on the last approved site plan, but I had a conversation with Mike and he confirmed that when 542 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:28,880 The restaurant opened. Smaller tanks were replaced with these. So it was an oversight that this wasn't shown on the previous approved site plan. So I think by our action tonight, if the board is immutable, we would just acknowledge that those were changed out and they are on the site. Because this document that he sent us is actually equivalent of an as-built. It's a current survey from November of 2017. So it's showing us all the improvements. 543 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,720 It's up until now. 544 00:40:33,940 --> 00:40:43,000 As far as I can understand, this cooler will meet all the criteria for the Board to consider 545 00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:44,680 a waiver of the site plan procedures. 546 00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,520 It's an as of right use, the restaurant is an as of right use. 547 00:40:49,220 --> 00:40:51,280 It's very small, et cetera. 548 00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:55,040 Do we have to notify the one neighbor? 549 00:40:56,360 --> 00:41:04,600 The neighbor is the landlord, and he's already signed off on the application that everyone 550 00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:06,180 should have a copy of. 551 00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:07,780 He technically is the applicant. 552 00:41:13,220 --> 00:41:21,860 Yeah, the owner of record has actually leased the land to another party and there's a lot 553 00:41:21,860 --> 00:41:24,260 a lot of parties involved in this piece of property. 554 00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:33,980 The one other thing that I spoke to Mike about is this odd piece of property is actually 555 00:41:33,980 --> 00:41:39,840 has professional office zoning in the front and it has R1 zoning in the back. 556 00:41:40,220 --> 00:41:47,900 The restaurant as part of its operation has been creating more and 557 00:41:47,900 --> 00:42:05,420 more gardens to produce food for the restaurant, and the latest addition was sheep, and since you're in an R1 zone, I pointed out to the applicant that he's going to have to go to the board of appeals for the keeping of more than two sheep. 558 00:42:06,780 --> 00:42:11,700 So I would just make it a condition of this waiver that they take care of that matter. 559 00:42:11,700 --> 00:42:21,640 We don't get involved with that use in any way shape of form, it's an accessory use as 560 00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:22,980 of right in the R1 zone. 561 00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:28,680 So it's just a matter of being able to have as many of the little critters that they 562 00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:29,100 would like. 563 00:42:29,260 --> 00:42:29,880 How many are you going to have?

Before you do that, Ellen, I'm just going to, for, you've noticed we have a new board 645 00:47:32,020 --> 00:47:39,700 member, Dan Seymour. This property has a lot of history. I just, I used to be a brunette 646 00:47:39,700 --> 00:47:43,140 on the planning board a long time ago when this application first came in, but you're from 647 00:47:43,140 --> 00:47:48,080 this brunette without a plan. So that's how long I've been looking at this piece of 648 00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:54,080 property, but at one point in time, we were looking at a road from overlook that would 649 00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:59,580 only serve four homes. And it's all to road from Oak Ridge Road coming up and serving 650 00:47:59,580 --> 00:48:05,500 four. And we've, as we were getting into the road design in the stormwater, things were 651 00:48:05,500 --> 00:48:11,060 getting dicey, as they often are with this piece of property. Once before someone tried 652 00:48:11,060 --> 00:48:16,100 to road, taken a highway this way, the high route this way, and that didn't work either. 653 00:48:16,100 --> 00:48:23,140 So this latest one we're exploring resulted in the loss of one lot, so it's now seven 654 00:48:23,140 --> 00:48:23,460 lots. 655 00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:27,700 They're trying to come in and serve them all from here with a private road for seven 656 00:48:27,700 --> 00:48:28,020 lots. 657 00:48:29,220 --> 00:48:34,440 And the other tricky thing that's being thrown into this is the building inspector is reminding 658 00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:40,100 us that under the new uniform building, international building code, is that what it is, Frank? 659 00:48:40,100 --> 00:48:49,020 That we have to pay attention that our private road specifications may not be up to code with the with of pavement. 660 00:48:50,060 --> 00:48:54,860 And even serving like this driveway here is going to serve three lots. 661 00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:59,680 We might have to take a little closer look at all of those issues. 662 00:49:02,020 --> 00:49:14,280 But just the planning board and Frank absent that we're still looking at and wrestling with the grade, the grade of this road and I'm going to let Alan walk us through the grade of this road. 663 00:49:17,060 --> 00:49:22,080 Well, is that also on the curve though, the steepest part is on the curve, my correct? 664 00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:30,400 Yes, let me just say also the road is 20 feet and width from the face of curve to face of curve. 665 00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:42,190 That is correct, the steepest portion, if you will, at 11.8% is by 20 feet and it occurs this location here, 666 00:49:42,190 --> 00:49:46,750 which is just after this is the straight section 667 00:49:46,750 --> 00:49:49,430 and that's about where it occurs. 668 00:49:49,590 --> 00:49:51,510 It's just because of the debugger, but that's what happens. 669 00:49:53,530 --> 00:49:55,750 And from there, it's the vertical curve 670 00:49:55,750 --> 00:49:59,990 that goes down to under 10% before reaching the cul-de-sac work. 671 00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:08,420 It's just under 3%, which is the requirement. And there, as I explained before, and I understand 672 00:50:08,420 --> 00:50:14,760 you were looking for the sketch and I, you know, there were a couple reasons why it seemed 673 00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:21,320 more appropriate to leave the design, I'll call it the amended design, we presented the 674 00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:31,960 last meeting tapped and not go to like the 10%. The first was that the 10% grade results 675 00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:39,180 in was a more fill that's required. If you could look, if you look at the profile, you'll 676 00:50:39,180 --> 00:50:45,140 see that what happens is as you're coming off of, there's a rock out crop that's essentially 677 00:50:45,140 --> 00:50:54,460 around here. When you're coming off of it, you're trying to meet rates. If you're starting off, do you want to minimize the 678 00:50:54,460 --> 00:51:04,400 rock type? So what happens is you're saying, you're saying essentially on grade, then descending down the slope. And so by coming down the, 679 00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:16,740 down at 11.8%, it's unique rate, closer to rate, more quickly than you would at 10%. 680 00:51:16,990 --> 00:51:23,220 As a result, where it is in closest proximity to the very yards of the houses, on Oak Ridge, 681 00:51:23,220 --> 00:51:34,360 the, if you will, the fill section that would be required for a 10% road in this area 682 00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:42,700 right here, and that's about where the maximum amount would be about 50 and a half feet, 683 00:51:42,860 --> 00:51:53,060 whereas with an 11.8% grade going to a, about a 9.8% grade, that fill section 684 00:51:53,060 --> 00:52:01,660 is about 12 feet, and that's a significant amount, because these signs lost from the edge of road 685 00:52:01,660 --> 00:52:07,760 toward, you know, in both directions. So what it does is it pulls the disturbance, if you will, 686 00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:14,960 closer to the rear yards of these houses. So it reduces the, you know, the buffering, if you will, 687 00:52:15,100 --> 00:52:20,260 that's provided by the woods, which are present between the rear yards of the houses and this 688 00:52:20,260 --> 00:52:28,860 subdivision road. So not only is the field section taller but there'll be less buffering 689 00:52:28,860 --> 00:52:35,060 if you will from the trees. So that's one reason where it just seems to make more sense 690 00:52:35,060 --> 00:52:46,500 to leave it at 11.8% versus going to a straight 10% road. The other factor too is the impact 691 00:52:46,500 --> 00:52:49,820 of a 10% road on the elevation of the cul-de-sac, 692 00:52:50,260 --> 00:52:55,880 and we reviewed that, it would have raised the elevation 693 00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:59,980 of the cul-de-sac by almost 4.75 feet. 694 00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:05,760 And what happens, too, is that the driveway grades 695 00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:10,940 to both lots, 6 and 7, they really start approaching 696 00:53:10,940 --> 00:53:11,600 the maximum. 697 00:53:11,860 --> 00:53:15,440 Essentially, a level pad coming off of the cul-de-sac, 698 00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:19,400 than descent at the maximum slope to reach the level pad 699 00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:20,520 or where the houses are. 700 00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:24,160 And to our way of looking at it, 701 00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:27,440 that's really not acceptable to have both situations 702 00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:28,060 like that. 703 00:53:29,020 --> 00:53:31,440 Each one of those dryways about 250 feet and length. 704 00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:40,920 And it's by far the, I'll just say there's less grating 705 00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:41,960 on each of those lots. 706 00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:48,960 and there's less disturbance on lot six and seven and the driveways become less 707 00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:57,300 steep. They're more acceptable on those two lots by leaving the driveway at by 708 00:53:57,300 --> 00:54:08,620 using that you know that segment that's 11.8% to about 9.8%. I don't recall where 709 00:54:08,620 --> 00:54:19,080 where we've left this, if at all, with emergency vehicle and the first responder look at this. 710 00:54:19,700 --> 00:54:26,580 I mean, after all that we've been through and the variations on different access points, 711 00:54:27,740 --> 00:54:34,200 this in almost all instances in my view is the best yet, 712 00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:42,760 But having such a steep grade, ready to be getting over the end of a meaningful curve is a little worrisome in 713 00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:51,620 employment weather when you have icy road conditions, so that's the, I think the only issue, otherwise it's a 714 00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:58,320 But I'm going to ask an interesting question to me. 715 00:54:58,880 --> 00:54:59,460 This... 716 00:54:59,460 --> 00:54:59,840 We have 717 00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:29,980 Three homes down here, and we have three homes here. The seventh one is straight off of the road. For these three, we're going through the trouble of having this huge cul-de-sac, which is good for the fire equipment and all of that. Does this really work for three homes here? How do the, how do the fire trucks turn around and are they going to be doing all these backing? See, I don't see how they can manipulate 718 00:55:29,980 --> 00:55:32,220 over and back up and go down again. 719 00:55:34,410 --> 00:55:37,530 And is it, Frank, is it okay to have a driveway so close 720 00:55:37,530 --> 00:55:40,530 to this road? 721 00:55:41,650 --> 00:55:43,710 I don't think there's anything in the regulations 722 00:55:43,710 --> 00:55:45,330 that prevent that. 723 00:55:46,270 --> 00:55:47,430 But is it good, is it good? 724 00:55:47,610 --> 00:55:48,690 Is it safe? 725 00:55:49,230 --> 00:55:50,690 No, there's no problem with it. 726 00:55:50,750 --> 00:55:52,810 The graphic conflict is going, 727 00:55:52,870 --> 00:55:54,050 it's not going to be that much trusted. 728 00:55:54,270 --> 00:55:54,470 Okay. 729 00:55:56,890 --> 00:55:59,090 I mean, should I be concerned about fire 730 00:55:59,090 --> 00:56:04,330 with a shared driveway situation versus a cul-de-sac 731 00:56:04,330 --> 00:56:05,750 and individual driveways. 732 00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:11,240 I think we probably have to talk a little bit about 733 00:56:11,730 --> 00:56:16,440 those regulations and how they overlay with this 734 00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:17,780 particular situation, too. 735 00:56:20,220 --> 00:56:22,180 You're talking about that universal code, yeah. 736 00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:30,200 So, in this particular one, I know what it says in there 737 00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:34,140 about some of these access ways being designed 738 00:56:34,140 --> 00:56:36,580 so that two fire trucks could pass, 739 00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:40,980 but in that situation, I don't think that's 740 00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:42,440 what you're looking for. 741 00:56:42,580 --> 00:56:44,460 I thought that was if it's four or more homes. 742 00:56:45,540 --> 00:56:46,480 Yeah, I think it's four more homes. 743 00:56:46,580 --> 00:56:50,400 And this is really only two, because the one comes 744 00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:53,740 a lot off so quickly, so you're really talking about two. 745 00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:56,520 The driveways themselves are shorter than some 746 00:56:56,520 --> 00:56:59,100 of the other driveways that serve only one house. 747 00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:06,660 And also, just so we did modify the alignments to accommodate the SU-30, which is shown 748 00:57:06,660 --> 00:57:10,420 in the world we're going to provide to better accommodate them. 749 00:57:10,720 --> 00:57:15,640 Yeah, but you're not showing the turning movements so that we can see how it's going to back 750 00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:18,340 up and I work, but I want to see those on there. 751 00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:20,640 Well, I think they would just back up down the driveway. 752 00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:23,640 Well, no, we're looking to see that they don't have to back up. 753 00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:25,520 The only thing is that we have a hammerhead type situation. 754 00:57:25,740 --> 00:57:28,820 We want them to be able to turn around right now to avoid that. 755 00:57:29,940 --> 00:57:32,940 So you're looking more as big or what that would do. 756 00:57:33,900 --> 00:57:34,560 All right, this way. 757 00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:36,120 So like this. 758 00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:36,480 Right. 759 00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:37,920 So you could use both of those. 760 00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:38,420 Right. 761 00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:44,980 We can't have something more creative over here, 762 00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:49,180 rather than all of this. 763 00:57:50,060 --> 00:57:54,340 What's so weird to me is this homeowner, he's going to come in. 764 00:57:54,340 --> 00:57:57,800 And he's not going to go around and go in. 765 00:57:57,880 --> 00:58:00,400 He's going to cut right over and in. 766 00:58:05,830 --> 00:58:07,830 Your code requires the cul-de-sac. 767 00:58:08,150 --> 00:58:10,310 And it requires the cul-de-sac of a certain dimension. 768 00:58:11,390 --> 00:58:13,310 So we've complied with the code. 769 00:58:15,470 --> 00:58:17,210 Because it's the end of a private road. 770 00:58:18,930 --> 00:58:19,990 It's the dead end road. 771 00:58:25,220 --> 00:58:26,200 Is it a center island? 772 00:58:26,820 --> 00:58:27,580 Not yet. 773 00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:28,920 Are we having a center island? 774 00:58:29,460 --> 00:58:31,240 There's still, or is that always one? 775 00:58:31,620 --> 00:58:32,140 There is one. 776 00:58:32,900 --> 00:58:34,420 What's complicating it now is the fact 777 00:58:34,420 --> 00:58:40,040 there's a turning radius of an SU-30 vehicle being shown on that plan. Just a sort of 778 00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:45,840 little strength that it can make the turn, you know, inside. What size vehicle is this? 779 00:58:46,180 --> 00:58:50,960 An SU-30, which is a single unit with a 30-foot long vehicle, it's like an UPS turn. 780 00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:58,560 And the grades are such that you really can't connect six and seven. Correct. Yes. 781 00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:00,360 that the grade is right there, 782 00:59:00,580 --> 00:59:01,120 and 783 00:59:07,780 --> 00:59:10,000 wanted we could look to see whether or not 784 00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:12,800 the grade was closer to the year, 785 00:59:13,100 --> 00:59:18,220 you know, closer to where it's still in the... 786 00:59:19,100 --> 00:59:20,380 So it's an easier left hand turn? 787 00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:22,300 Yeah, we could take a look at that. 788 00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:24,220 I think that would be... 789 00:59:25,500 --> 00:59:26,660 Oh, I don't know. 790 00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:27,640 Is that a better design? 791 00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:28,780 I'm not sure. 792 00:59:29,540 --> 00:59:32,440 There's something that says that I should try to... 793 00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:32,700 Yeah. 794 00:59:32,700 --> 00:59:32,900 Yeah. 795 00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:35,360 More of a right angle. 796 00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:35,940 I know the roads. 797 00:59:36,500 --> 00:59:37,480 It is for roads. 798 00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:42,720 Driveways don't get as much traffic. 799 00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:43,240 Right. 800 00:59:43,380 --> 00:59:44,780 There's not a lot of traffic at the end there. 801 00:59:45,300 --> 00:59:46,320 Oh, there's no left. 802 00:59:47,580 --> 00:59:47,940 You're going left. 803 00:59:49,180 --> 00:59:50,500 You're just going into the driveway. 804 00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:52,180 A little more confused as well. 805 00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:53,860 It's not going to find that way. 806 00:59:54,100 --> 00:59:56,400 It's kind of meld into one. 807 00:59:56,880 --> 00:59:57,480 It's not. 808 00:59:58,580 --> 00:59:59,900 You're not dealing with a whole wood. 809 01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:24,020 You're doing very limited traffic, right? I mean, but with respect to emergency vehicles coming into lots two and three, I don't know, did I, do we hear anything final on how they're getting? Are they driving in and backing out? That's, that's what we're talking about. There has to be some kind of jumping around on different topics. That's all right. 810 01:00:24,020 --> 01:00:41,600 I mean, we're not thinking, we're talking to a gentleman waiting there, but I mean, what's happening here, that this location actually, the access is, or the, uh, the, uh, the, maybe it's access path to the stormwater, that's what's happening there. 811 01:00:42,100 --> 01:00:43,240 So is it that's dropping? 812 01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:47,400 I mean, you could use the first, you did that as that driveway. 813 01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:48,620 Thank you. 814 01:00:48,620 --> 01:00:50,780 It does, the grade is dropping there. 815 01:00:51,540 --> 01:00:55,220 You know, the grade slopes towards the room, or it's above. 816 01:00:55,260 --> 01:00:56,760 Well, you got to drop that driveway, too, though. 817 01:00:57,340 --> 01:00:57,640 Correct. 818 01:00:57,900 --> 01:01:02,400 So, you could use the first section of that to go there and then peel off and go to the maintenance. 819 01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:07,080 I mean, you've someone's driveway for the access road for the maintenance. 820 01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:13,950 Well, the first point of view or something, I could get access that often. 821 01:01:20,300 --> 01:01:27,880 And just because we were jumping around a little to go back on the issue of the road. 822 01:01:30,500 --> 01:01:32,340 We kind of looked at it as a balance. 823 01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:34,000 We talked about this a little bit last time. 824 01:01:34,260 --> 01:01:40,140 The balance of the impacts of the additional fill and the raising up the cul-de-sac sort 825 01:01:40,140 --> 01:01:46,980 of what happens if we make it 10% versus having this short section, which is now shorter than 826 01:01:46,980 --> 01:01:52,140 it was when we were here last month, and the slope is a little bit less than it was. 827 01:01:53,660 --> 01:02:00,360 So it's really about, you know, your code does give this board the authority to modify 828 01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:10,360 that, the 10 percent slightly, so we're within what you're permitted to do, and we've really 829 01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:16,360 reduced it out and really looked hard at it and reduced it down to really just about 830 01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:24,980 20 feet. So we've really tried to balance the impacts of that versus the impacts of 831 01:02:24,980 --> 01:02:28,400 the additional fill in the call of the second. It just seems like the impacts of trying 832 01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:32,880 to make it 10 percent. The impacts were much greater for not a lot of benefit. 833 01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:54,260 Could I say, you're presenting the geometry in just one way and you're focusing on flattening the grade, coming down and adding fill at the bottom, but we would, the Chairman asked specifically last time was to look into the other way, reducing the grade. 834 01:02:54,340 --> 01:02:57,860 And we talked about that, and that's more rock cut. So again, it's part of the balance. 835 01:02:57,980 --> 01:03:01,000 Right. That's what we wanted to see. 836 01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:02,600 What kind of we're talking about? 837 01:03:03,420 --> 01:03:10,960 And, you know, the short stretch of 11.8 percent, yes, it's a short stretch, but, again, 838 01:03:13,020 --> 01:03:17,100 it's combined with the vertical curves getting up to that point and coming down. 839 01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:24,740 If it wasn't that stretch, you'd have a longer area, you know, that you're dealing with that's a 840 01:03:24,740 --> 01:03:34,980 ship more shallow grade and I don't know the last thing I guess I want to say is it's yes it is a small stretch of a 841 01:03:36,990 --> 01:03:52,490 higher steeper grade that maybe noticeable may not be noticeable but it's I think it's an issue of liability that you want to consider in the long and also liability to who. 842 01:03:58,330 --> 01:04:10,690 But you're regulations give you the specific authority to do this, you're not doing something that's safe, and that's the white ability if it's not safe, and we deemed it safe. 843 01:04:11,010 --> 01:04:12,130 That's our white ability. 844 01:04:12,130 --> 01:04:15,110 Yeah, but we don't do that. 845 01:04:15,490 --> 01:04:15,890 Miniscule. 846 01:04:16,350 --> 01:04:16,470 Yeah. 847 01:04:16,610 --> 01:04:19,210 Well, the way you do it, because you're going to realize that. 848 01:04:19,210 --> 01:04:20,250 I defer to your council. 849 01:04:20,590 --> 01:04:20,870 I didn't. 850 01:04:20,990 --> 01:04:27,190 We don't ensure the safety of the traveling public on a road that's approved, but I have 851 01:04:27,190 --> 01:04:28,830 a maybe a more basic question. 852 01:04:28,910 --> 01:04:32,930 Somebody mentioned at the beginning, but are we all on agreement about the that the width 853 01:04:32,930 --> 01:04:37,930 of the proposed road is going to be acceptable to the building department? 854 01:04:38,130 --> 01:04:38,330 We are. 855 01:04:38,330 --> 01:04:43,070 Yes, because our regs say 18 feet, they've already brought it up to 20, and that's the 856 01:04:43,070 --> 01:04:43,130 minute. 857 01:04:43,150 --> 01:04:43,370 I'm sorry. 858 01:04:43,590 --> 01:04:44,710 I wanted to make sure that. 859 01:04:44,790 --> 01:04:45,390 No, that's okay. 860 01:04:45,570 --> 01:04:46,630 And you've got to catch up. 861 01:04:46,730 --> 01:04:48,150 We're happy to help you catch up. 862 01:04:48,470 --> 01:04:51,910 And we have to be the Marine Guard because we've seen so many different versions. 863 01:04:52,710 --> 01:04:52,930 Yes. 864 01:04:53,210 --> 01:04:54,270 20 is okay. 865 01:04:54,490 --> 01:04:54,930 Okay, good. 866 01:04:55,290 --> 01:04:55,730 So, anyway. 867 01:04:55,810 --> 01:04:59,290 But there might be other issues with situations like this that. 868 01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:28,700 We have to study a little more, maybe talk to the Billion Inspector. And we can modify that to make more of a turnaround. You know, it's the same thing with some of the other long driveways. You know, these, if you're talking about a FedEx truck or UPS truck, they back out all the time. There's not a lot of traffic here, so it's not a traffic issue for them to take two minutes to back out into the road. But we can certainly look at making a turnaround. 869 01:05:28,700 --> 01:05:32,520 around more of a hammerhead type thing up there. 870 01:05:35,320 --> 01:05:39,700 And again on the other, you know, we can give you the sketches and the analysis, Alan tried 871 01:05:39,700 --> 01:05:41,460 to give you some analysis in words. 872 01:05:42,220 --> 01:05:43,840 We can give it to you in sketches. 873 01:05:44,500 --> 01:05:49,920 We were trying to balance the other concerns we've heard from this board have been impacts 874 01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:52,300 on rock removal and cut and fell. 875 01:05:52,700 --> 01:05:57,780 So what we tried to do was minimize both of those and in minimizing both of those, we ended 876 01:05:57,780 --> 01:06:04,140 up with this 20 feet of steeper road so we can give you more information and I 877 01:06:04,140 --> 01:06:07,700 yes we'll continue this discussion because I don't know that there's a 878 01:06:07,700 --> 01:06:12,440 consensus on the board to go one way or the other yet. This area right here is 879 01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:17,520 heavy rock right yes you can't you can't start the swing a little bit more. 880 01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:23,820 We also the town has required radii, so that's where we're trying to get there. 881 01:06:25,380 --> 01:06:25,740 Yep. 882 01:06:26,220 --> 01:06:29,460 Well, the more you straighten out the road, the harder it is to get the grade you want anyway. 883 01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:30,400 Oh, no. 884 01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:32,620 If you lengthen the road. 885 01:06:32,800 --> 01:06:33,240 As I meant. 886 01:06:33,700 --> 01:06:34,060 You can. 887 01:06:34,380 --> 01:06:35,920 You'll have more. 888 01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:37,560 Yeah, more length to get down the slope. 889 01:06:37,560 --> 01:06:38,400 So it might help you. 890 01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:39,520 That's not all easy. 891 01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:41,760 It would, but all things considered. 892 01:06:41,880 --> 01:06:43,740 But the grade does drop off in that direction. 893 01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:47,340 It drops off towards the sun. 894 01:06:47,340 --> 01:06:47,620 I know. 895 01:06:48,380 --> 01:06:50,500 And so it is a balancing act, true. 896 01:06:51,020 --> 01:06:51,700 Yeah, I don't know. 897 01:06:51,780 --> 01:06:57,120 I mean, again, I'm repeating myself maybe, but I do think that balancing all considerations 898 01:06:57,940 --> 01:07:05,700 and given what we've been through, this is maybe with some little adjustments here and there 899 01:07:05,700 --> 01:07:08,720 with the individual access roads as we discuss. 900 01:07:08,740 --> 01:07:14,060 I think this is the best possible situation, you know, it's not perfect. 901 01:07:15,620 --> 01:07:20,020 I mean, it's 10% grade before a curve, I think it's too much, I mean, I know it's allowed, 902 01:07:20,020 --> 01:07:22,980 but still 12% is 20% more than that. 903 01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:28,800 So, you know, it is what it is, but I don't know that we can do better under the circumstances. 904 01:07:29,080 --> 01:07:36,800 I don't want to see tons of rock blasting to try to reduce the grade or fill that compromises 905 01:07:36,800 --> 01:07:39,600 the woods between the road and the neighbors. 906 01:07:40,020 --> 01:07:40,560 So I don't know. 907 01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:45,760 Does it snaking the road a little more up here by giving it more length? 908 01:07:45,960 --> 01:07:49,000 Does that help or are you running into curve issues? 909 01:07:50,200 --> 01:08:01,920 Curve and septic issues, we have a septic system that's in here, we're trying to maintain some separation distance between the unwanted and the, also, the, um, with the rock and the little spot. 910 01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:09,920 I'll just say we also looked at a lot of hurtful furniture. 911 01:08:10,700 --> 01:08:13,480 That's the road, but bring it out further this way. 912 01:08:15,540 --> 01:08:21,180 And none of them ever seem to, you know, if you bring the road up closer this way, 913 01:08:22,200 --> 01:08:26,760 there's less radius if you want to tighten the turret. 914 01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:33,380 It's too, is that it just shortens the length of the road, which makes great use of this. 915 01:08:33,380 --> 01:08:40,040 If you raise the height of the cul-de-sac to lessen the curve, it doesn't hurt this 916 01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:42,140 driveway or this driveway. 917 01:08:42,700 --> 01:08:44,220 It's this one that's- 918 01:08:44,220 --> 01:08:46,040 No, it's both six and seven. 919 01:08:46,820 --> 01:08:48,380 They're the ones that are most impacted. 920 01:08:48,520 --> 01:08:49,040 This one too. 921 01:08:49,360 --> 01:08:49,580 Correct. 922 01:08:50,460 --> 01:08:50,720 Yes. 923 01:08:52,900 --> 01:08:55,260 Remember, it's only a three percent grade across the cul-de-sac. 924 01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:59,740 So it's, this, this is, there's, really is- 925 01:08:59,740 --> 01:09:03,920 Well, what if this cut served both? 926 01:09:05,600 --> 01:09:07,400 There's a great issue here, that's why. 927 01:09:07,780 --> 01:09:09,460 Here, is the greatest issue in the house. 928 01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:11,360 That's where the house is, is much lower. 929 01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:11,800 Correct. 930 01:09:14,800 --> 01:09:17,240 So if, let's continue with that thought, 931 01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:19,820 if the cul-de-sac went up two feet, 932 01:09:22,080 --> 01:09:26,460 the advantage is that you might be able to reduce this grade. 933 01:09:27,220 --> 01:09:31,260 How much of a disadvantage is it for this driveway? 934 01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:40,700 Did you look at that did the driveway is about 250 feet in length and generally the drop from 935 01:09:40,700 --> 01:09:42,680 the you know from the 936 01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:46,760 Presonally is about 20 937 01:09:47,700 --> 01:09:54,280 There'll be about 23 from be about 21 feet of gray drop in about 250 feet of length 938 01:09:55,480 --> 01:09:59,120 That's what it is to where that house is located. What's it called the sack where it is? 939 01:10:05,060 --> 01:10:19,420 And if the driveway were over here, what are we looking at? Great. I wish we had. Do we have the contour one? Yeah, it's I'm looking at it now. It came with the, all the other. Let me, let me see if I can get a contour one up. 940 01:10:25,030 --> 01:10:26,730 What? Let me 941 01:10:42,440 --> 01:10:45,240 just try to get this right, the cul de sac. 942 01:10:45,240 --> 01:10:45,980 So 943 01:10:49,700 --> 01:10:58,640 let's say generally this is around 4.52 here and about 4.50 there, and so just in place 944 01:10:58,640 --> 01:11:05,120 seeing how it's here, the finish for elevation is around 6.4 945 01:11:07,960 --> 01:11:11,000 .31. So we're really going from 946 01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:19,340 4.52 to 4.31 and about 250 foot. And so from here it's a shorter length that's the profit. 947 01:11:19,340 --> 01:11:29,620 So the reason the driveway is this long is that you can imagine that if you lift it up 948 01:11:29,620 --> 01:11:35,080 another couple feet or four feet, they're just more grade change to, you know, two. 949 01:11:35,520 --> 01:11:41,340 Right now, the way is designed is that the upper portion is fairly level, 950 01:11:49,320 --> 01:11:49,320 you know, it's 951 01:11:49,320 --> 01:11:52,820 it just as it does here and in the sort of pad around the 952 01:11:53,480 --> 01:11:56,180 garage, it's flat and down to 50%. 953 01:11:57,640 --> 01:12:02,260 But in the driveways, the steepest portion of the driveway section 954 01:12:02,260 --> 01:12:05,400 there, it's probably like 10% or 11% or so on the driveway. 955 01:12:05,840 --> 01:12:07,320 I just go take a look and see what it is. 956 01:12:07,700 --> 01:12:10,680 But I'm just saying that what happens is if you raise the driveway 957 01:12:10,680 --> 01:12:14,160 up four feet, there's four feet of extra gray to make up. 958 01:12:14,260 --> 01:12:16,300 And that's why, again, it's a balancing act 959 01:12:17,420 --> 01:12:22,880 I'm trying to, you know, work with the grades that we have. 960 01:12:23,800 --> 01:12:30,820 You're pushing in lock seven house up is only going to push the house down the hill, right? 961 01:12:31,500 --> 01:12:36,080 If you move the house either this way or that way, you know. 962 01:12:36,520 --> 01:12:40,360 Well, now you're just that, but just up, but you run out of room for the driveway, right? 963 01:12:40,660 --> 01:12:44,680 So, we're trying to get more length, but all that to do is say put the driveway in as that 964 01:12:54,460 --> 01:13:01,180 I have to go look at it, but as I say, they're not at the maximum at all, they're probably 965 01:13:01,180 --> 01:13:01,680 looking around. 966 01:13:02,200 --> 01:13:05,700 I think they're probably done at 10% or so at max. 967 01:13:08,170 --> 01:13:15,130 Then, as you can see, as it reaches the house, it flattens out, which is advantageous for 968 01:13:15,130 --> 01:13:19,050 It's about, it wasn't more like six or eight, because then you could raise this up, and 969 01:13:19,050 --> 01:13:19,630 up a little. 970 01:13:23,960 --> 01:13:32,020 I mean the bottom line is you're going from a maximum of about 500 feet down to 430 or 971 01:13:32,020 --> 01:13:35,800 the 4 houses. I mean it's a 70 foot drop you know in total. 972 01:13:38,200 --> 01:13:42,660 That's going downhill over some 973 01:13:43,820 --> 01:13:54,780 And I was saying before, it was that the speed was portion, you have 11.8%, actually there's 974 01:13:54,780 --> 01:14:00,900 right around here and through the 10% and you push it back into the rock area, which you 975 01:14:00,900 --> 01:14:03,520 can see is here, there's some rock here. 976 01:14:03,920 --> 01:14:09,900 So we're trying to be as close as possible to really easily by doing a lot of cut. 977 01:14:09,900 --> 01:14:10,820 You can hear me, sir. 978 01:14:11,520 --> 01:14:12,320 You can touch me. 979 01:14:15,200 --> 01:14:15,420 Yes. 980 01:14:16,780 --> 01:14:20,800 I'm sure that most of us now, we have even more lock cut people. 981 01:14:21,760 --> 01:14:27,020 We can say we also have, it's just extending the grading and the disturbance 982 01:14:27,020 --> 01:14:30,020 towards the rear yards of the houses on the bridge. 983 01:14:30,240 --> 01:14:33,220 Anyone else who do that, if you cut the rock, we're seeing it. 984 01:14:34,980 --> 01:14:35,980 You'd have to cut the rock. 985 01:14:36,700 --> 01:14:39,180 Right, in closer proximity to an existing house. 986 01:14:42,330 --> 01:14:47,070 I have to say I live on a street that has a big curve and the big curve is on the steepest 987 01:14:47,070 --> 01:14:47,790 part of the street. 988 01:14:48,030 --> 01:14:50,030 I think it's probably a lot steeper than that. 989 01:14:50,670 --> 01:14:53,210 I think when you look at older roads it's not that. 990 01:14:53,610 --> 01:14:55,090 No one goes flying off into the woods. 991 01:14:55,630 --> 01:14:55,710 No. 992 01:14:58,190 --> 01:14:59,970 Now, everybody knows to be... 993 01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:01,120 Careful in bad weather. 994 01:15:04,240 --> 01:15:10,480 And it serves more than seven houses. Or really, it's only three, you know, 995 01:15:10,620 --> 01:15:15,040 past this point. It's really only three houses driving on that section of it. 996 01:15:27,760 --> 01:15:28,780 So we can give 997 01:15:28,780 --> 01:15:33,020 you more information if you'd like. I don't know, you know, all we can do is really diagram 998 01:15:33,020 --> 01:15:34,420 it. I think we've explained it. 999 01:15:37,080 --> 01:15:41,120 What I could see you've optimized the amount of disturbance 1000 01:15:41,120 --> 01:15:44,020 versus the toughs that go on. 1001 01:15:44,180 --> 01:15:44,940 It's a bad one, right? 1002 01:15:45,240 --> 01:15:48,780 Try to minimize the amount of disturbance 1003 01:15:48,780 --> 01:15:51,900 and try to balance the earthwork as best we can. 1004 01:15:52,820 --> 01:15:54,540 You've got the flow that I had. 1005 01:15:54,700 --> 01:15:56,700 You were talking about those three houses together 1006 01:15:56,700 --> 01:15:57,780 in a common driveway. 1007 01:15:59,020 --> 01:16:00,940 If there is concern about turnaround 1008 01:16:00,940 --> 01:16:05,120 with those two driveways meet, if you're just 1009 01:16:05,120 --> 01:16:08,020 cooking, maybe try and go out of that thing there. 1010 01:16:08,480 --> 01:16:10,140 Yeah, we'll modify that. 1011 01:16:10,140 --> 01:16:10,580 That's fine. 1012 01:16:11,100 --> 01:16:11,640 If we... 1013 01:16:11,640 --> 01:16:16,320 No, I don't know that fly trucks would really care. 1014 01:16:16,460 --> 01:16:18,600 I think I want someone who want to turn around and come out. 1015 01:16:18,880 --> 01:16:20,660 Or they're going to back out, to be honest. 1016 01:16:21,720 --> 01:16:24,160 Even if you put a turn around there, they may back out. 1017 01:16:25,100 --> 01:16:26,360 They usually drive where they want to drive. 1018 01:16:27,080 --> 01:16:28,840 They usually drive where they need to drive. 1019 01:16:29,540 --> 01:16:30,360 Yeah, I would tell you that. 1020 01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:33,760 But we'll put it there. 1021 01:16:34,080 --> 01:16:34,740 We'll make a turn around. 1022 01:16:35,820 --> 01:16:37,380 Well, with us two driveways meet. 1023 01:16:37,680 --> 01:16:37,820 Yes. 1024 01:16:37,820 --> 01:16:37,920 Yes. 1025 01:16:38,180 --> 01:16:40,900 Just a great note to tell you that you are making a, yeah. 1026 01:16:41,220 --> 01:16:41,600 We're trying. 1027 01:16:41,880 --> 01:16:42,120 Sure. 1028 01:16:45,220 --> 01:16:49,080 I still would like to know if this couldn't go up just a little bit. 1029 01:16:50,080 --> 01:16:54,060 If this, do you lose this lot or will it could still work? 1030 01:16:56,160 --> 01:17:00,440 Because it looks like you might be okay with this one. 1031 01:17:00,560 --> 01:17:01,720 You'll be okay with that one. 1032 01:17:02,540 --> 01:17:07,700 And what difference would a foot make or two feet make? 1033 01:17:07,700 --> 01:17:14,880 We can look at, you know, if we can bring that down to 11% how much does that raise the cul-de-sac? 1034 01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:23,480 Does the cul-de-sac, by our code, doesn't Frank do you know if the cul-de-sac have to be a certain grade? 1035 01:17:24,080 --> 01:17:27,100 You can only have a 5% grade change. And what are they showing here? 1036 01:17:28,540 --> 01:17:31,620 I thought it was three. I thought I could only have three. 1037 01:17:32,200 --> 01:17:35,760 Can the planning, does the planning go to the authority to waive that a little bit? 1038 01:17:35,760 --> 01:17:40,000 I have three. It's an action of 3% across the country. 1039 01:17:41,380 --> 01:17:43,280 Because we were just over and we brought it down. 1040 01:17:44,340 --> 01:17:46,960 If it could be slightly more, yes it would probably. 1041 01:17:48,380 --> 01:17:50,940 I wonder if the planning board has any flexibility with that. 1042 01:17:51,180 --> 01:17:52,260 I'll have to check the code. 1043 01:17:54,580 --> 01:17:55,920 Would that help the situation? 1044 01:17:58,960 --> 01:18:02,200 Is it a three, a good number to stick with? 1045 01:18:02,400 --> 01:18:05,300 Or if we went to four or five, is that feasible? 1046 01:18:06,560 --> 01:18:12,020 You don't have the answer right now, but this is looking at some of our municipalities. 1047 01:18:12,780 --> 01:18:17,840 I mean, you've got to remember your driveway connections are there at the end where you're 1048 01:18:17,840 --> 01:18:20,540 going to have where you're going to be dropping, where you're dropping it more. 1049 01:18:20,680 --> 01:18:21,060 Right. 1050 01:18:21,600 --> 01:18:22,860 So that's not the best situation. 1051 01:18:23,920 --> 01:18:29,280 No, but if this were lower, it would help with this because you're going down. 1052 01:18:31,460 --> 01:18:32,860 And this were higher. 1053 01:18:33,560 --> 01:18:34,960 We won't help with this. 1054 01:18:35,060 --> 01:18:37,860 I think three is pretty typical in other municipalities. 1055 01:18:39,060 --> 01:18:39,340 Okay. 1056 01:18:39,640 --> 01:18:41,420 I'm not very specific. Three was the requirement. 1057 01:18:42,660 --> 01:18:42,920 Okay. 1058 01:18:44,160 --> 01:18:47,620 Do you have, as far as the rest of the comments go, do you have any questions? 1059 01:18:48,180 --> 01:18:50,180 Sorry, do you need any clarification on any of them? 1060 01:18:50,700 --> 01:18:51,580 Will you address them? 1061 01:18:56,290 --> 01:18:57,350 No, I think the other ones are. 1062 01:18:57,410 --> 01:18:59,250 Pretty clear on the rest of them. 1063 01:18:59,490 --> 01:19:01,650 You know, we have some information we have to get here. 1064 01:19:02,570 --> 01:19:05,690 I have two things based on what we're looking at these drawings. 1065 01:19:05,690 --> 01:19:10,450 Is this one? This is the right way, right? 1066 01:19:11,650 --> 01:19:12,170 Yes. 1067 01:19:19,890 --> 01:19:20,410 Do 1068 01:19:27,260 --> 01:19:28,340 you want me to do more? 1069 01:19:36,050 --> 01:19:38,950 I don't think I raised that in this room. 1070 01:19:40,390 --> 01:19:46,090 Having these areas here that are being labeled in the plan is 1071 01:19:51,570 --> 01:19:59,770 So, you know, in the past, we've had other plans with detection of trees. 1072 01:20:00,270 --> 01:20:07,430 There are various reasons. I've seen to come back and haunt us for various reasons. So I'm trying 1073 01:20:07,430 --> 01:20:12,690 to understand, I don't remember how those one are legally going to be protected over time, 1074 01:20:12,690 --> 01:20:18,870 if they're actually forming a drainage function. As treaties. We could add, you know, into 1075 01:20:18,870 --> 01:20:23,570 the declaration of restriction that those areas aren't to, you know, to be disturbed or treason, 1076 01:20:23,670 --> 01:20:28,730 those areas can't be removed. We could do that. I mean, it would relate to what the function. 1077 01:20:28,730 --> 01:20:31,390 They have a particular function. 1078 01:20:31,870 --> 01:20:37,610 The purpose is generally in those locations, those are lawn areas about the septic system 1079 01:20:37,610 --> 01:20:42,810 and the idea is whether the wood area, wooded area for some type of treatment, if you will, 1080 01:20:42,970 --> 01:20:46,010 for the runoff from the lawn area of the septic system. 1081 01:20:46,270 --> 01:20:53,730 So if the trees give it value and give it purpose, then we would need something that says if 1082 01:20:53,730 --> 01:20:58,030 If a storm comes along and knocks the trees down, they're going to have to be replaced. 1083 01:20:59,170 --> 01:21:04,490 Because what's happening in these other situations that Will was hinting at is the storm comes, 1084 01:21:04,630 --> 01:21:08,490 knocks the trees down, or the people go to the building inspector and say, the trees are 1085 01:21:08,490 --> 01:21:11,870 too close to my house or the kid's swing set, you know, they've got to come down. 1086 01:21:11,970 --> 01:21:15,210 The next thing, you know, the trees are coming down and there's nothing about putting them 1087 01:21:15,210 --> 01:21:15,510 back. 1088 01:21:15,990 --> 01:21:22,490 So if they're serving a purpose, then I think we also need to say something has to go 1089 01:21:22,490 --> 01:21:22,750 back. 1090 01:21:22,750 --> 01:21:28,130 I don't know if it has to be a full-blown tree or does it have to be vegetation other than lawn? 1091 01:21:28,450 --> 01:21:29,150 Is that what you're saying? 1092 01:21:29,310 --> 01:21:31,150 Look at the whole picture because it's not just trees. 1093 01:21:31,450 --> 01:21:35,270 It's supposed, the way they're proposing it, it's supposed to remain intact. 1094 01:21:36,030 --> 01:21:38,650 So the undisturbed vegetation is providing a function, too. 1095 01:21:38,870 --> 01:21:42,710 So technically, if the trees should be protected, it should also say. 1096 01:21:42,790 --> 01:21:44,550 May the area be made, remain undisturbed? 1097 01:21:44,850 --> 01:21:46,610 Yeah, the shatter more wetter than anything else. 1098 01:21:46,770 --> 01:21:47,870 I don't have a problem with that. 1099 01:21:48,010 --> 01:21:52,730 I'm just saying if the tree itself provides a value, if they come down, 1100 01:21:52,730 --> 01:21:58,390 down do they have to be put back, trees have to be put back, or can you, if it turns into 1101 01:21:58,390 --> 01:22:03,130 just low lying shrub that no one's touching. There's value in that. 1102 01:22:03,170 --> 01:22:06,650 There is value in that. Correct. First is being long, that's, you know, 1103 01:22:06,750 --> 01:22:10,450 the value in fertilized. Correct. So it's not that it needs to be a 1104 01:22:10,450 --> 01:22:14,670 tree to area, it needs to be an undisturbed area. Correct. That's the idea. And that's the 1105 01:22:14,670 --> 01:22:20,210 value. And I think there are areas that you get back there and plant any kind of significant 1106 01:22:20,210 --> 01:22:21,850 entry is not going to be easy. 1107 01:22:23,690 --> 01:22:26,930 But we can certainly provide that those areas will remain 1108 01:22:27,610 --> 01:22:28,050 undisturbed. 1109 01:22:28,810 --> 01:22:32,250 Just to find out that we're in the drawing. 1110 01:22:32,710 --> 01:22:34,870 Well, we'll put it on the drawing and we'll also add it 1111 01:22:34,870 --> 01:22:35,170 into the drawing. 1112 01:22:35,170 --> 01:22:38,130 Probably should address the fact that if a tree does fall down 1113 01:22:38,130 --> 01:22:41,010 and is, unsightly, the owners are going to want to remove it. 1114 01:22:41,210 --> 01:22:44,670 So under certain circumstances, if there's a dead tree there, 1115 01:22:44,670 --> 01:22:45,690 it would be a lot to do. 1116 01:22:46,170 --> 01:22:46,310 Right. 1117 01:22:49,690 --> 01:22:52,610 We're not going to see those areas stay undisturbed. 1118 01:22:53,190 --> 01:22:56,030 That's Will's point and I think it's a very valid point. 1119 01:22:58,650 --> 01:23:00,270 They're far away from the houses. 1120 01:23:00,430 --> 01:23:02,250 It's not like it's an area right next to the house 1121 01:23:02,250 --> 01:23:03,950 that someone's going to want to clear for long. 1122 01:23:04,170 --> 01:23:08,410 Their neighbors are all woods, so they may want to clear their own property. 1123 01:23:11,650 --> 01:23:13,350 Because the septic curve will certainly be cleared. 1124 01:23:13,350 --> 01:23:20,750 I guess where I'm going with it is there another way of achieving what you're trying 1125 01:23:20,750 --> 01:23:27,530 to achieve from a storm order standpoint other than just saying you can't do any, you 1126 01:23:27,530 --> 01:23:28,670 can't disturb this area. 1127 01:23:31,230 --> 01:23:34,550 Would it require some other storm order treatment be installed? 1128 01:23:35,470 --> 01:23:35,990 No. 1129 01:23:36,050 --> 01:23:39,470 Usually downgrading a septic system is not the place to do that. 1130 01:23:39,870 --> 01:23:44,270 And typically my own experience with New York City DEP is they looked at those areas remain 1131 01:23:44,270 --> 01:23:46,730 I mean, I'll call it natural, right? 1132 01:23:46,730 --> 01:23:48,370 Because it's what DEP is going to want. 1133 01:23:48,810 --> 01:23:50,110 Okay, so let's. 1134 01:23:50,350 --> 01:23:53,210 No, I mean, really not treating an impervious surface, 1135 01:23:53,210 --> 01:23:55,610 really just treating, it's for a lawn area 1136 01:23:55,610 --> 01:23:56,630 above a separate system. 1137 01:23:56,770 --> 01:23:58,110 That's really the purpose of it. 1138 01:24:00,520 --> 01:24:04,320 Now, in this way, it's not a fertilized area, 1139 01:24:04,340 --> 01:24:09,760 which is typically the concern of DMP, for example, 1140 01:24:09,960 --> 01:24:12,180 and stormwater runoff is that it's not carrying 1141 01:24:12,180 --> 01:24:14,260 phosphorus and nitrogen into the water bottles. 1142 01:24:14,260 --> 01:24:17,520 by having woods there and especially with leaf litter. 1143 01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:20,120 Maybe not with the woods, but shrubs with leaf litter. 1144 01:24:20,240 --> 01:24:21,980 It has an opportunity to infiltrate into the ground 1145 01:24:21,980 --> 01:24:24,140 because there's something that intercepts the flow. 1146 01:24:25,220 --> 01:24:27,280 Enough stuff there to slow the water down. 1147 01:24:30,160 --> 01:24:32,500 Yeah, so that's good if you added to the plan. 1148 01:24:33,080 --> 01:24:34,300 And you added the decoration. 1149 01:24:35,060 --> 01:24:37,140 You know, the key then will be for the villains 1150 01:24:37,140 --> 01:24:38,260 who are going to have to get built 1151 01:24:38,260 --> 01:24:40,400 to stuff they can install or those. 1152 01:24:44,150 --> 01:24:44,930 We will add. 1153 01:24:45,230 --> 01:24:47,130 So on the plot, those areas will be identified 1154 01:24:50,630 --> 01:24:53,170 What's the what's the proximate distance here? 1155 01:25:00,180 --> 01:25:02,320 That's the one that's closest to a house. 1156 01:25:18,190 --> 01:25:38,510 So all these, the trees that are here, if this is where the house is going to be. I can see the letter go into the building inspector. I'm worried about these trees falling on my house. Because that's exactly what happened in the other situation. They're less than 100. 1157 01:25:38,510 --> 01:25:47,050 If this is 100 feet, they're going to claim I want the trees down because they could fall on my house. 1158 01:25:51,020 --> 01:25:52,320 So I'm wondering if, 1159 01:25:56,830 --> 01:26:00,450 okay, so it's not really about the trees, it's about just don't disturb the area. 1160 01:26:00,550 --> 01:26:03,570 You can get the area down and still leave the area, basically, to start. 1161 01:26:05,070 --> 01:26:05,310 Okay. 1162 01:26:05,790 --> 01:26:10,590 I think the understory vegetation problem provides most of the trees. 1163 01:26:10,630 --> 01:26:11,770 Yeah, the more of the benefits. 1164 01:26:11,770 --> 01:26:17,050 So the condition has to be not just that the area remain undisturbed. 1165 01:26:17,230 --> 01:26:24,210 I think it has to be more clarified, shall not be turned into a lawn or, you know, a whatever. 1166 01:26:24,490 --> 01:26:32,230 So I think maybe if you expand upon it, people will get the picture and understand its purpose and intent. 1167 01:26:33,090 --> 01:26:37,890 Because in the other situation, we just said it shouldn't be disturbed and everyone was saying, well, what has disturbed me? 1168 01:26:37,890 --> 01:26:38,370 I don't know. 1169 01:26:38,770 --> 01:26:40,010 We'll go the whole more. 1170 01:26:40,110 --> 01:26:41,130 Thank you. 1171 01:26:42,350 --> 01:26:42,930 You're right. 1172 01:26:43,150 --> 01:26:43,770 How much should be clear? 1173 01:26:44,170 --> 01:26:44,270 Yeah, no. 1174 01:26:44,510 --> 01:26:46,210 We just went through it. 1175 01:26:46,250 --> 01:26:47,050 That's the only reason. 1176 01:26:47,210 --> 01:26:48,550 We're learning our lesson here. 1177 01:26:48,950 --> 01:26:51,090 We have no problem writing this. 1178 01:26:51,090 --> 01:26:52,670 But aren't these working sufficient? 1179 01:26:53,350 --> 01:26:59,330 Proposed filter strip would an area to remain undisturbed to provide buffer from a fill one 1180 01:26:59,330 --> 01:26:59,510 area. 1181 01:27:00,290 --> 01:27:02,410 I'm going to use that language and I'll throw it on the line. 1182 01:27:02,410 --> 01:27:02,890 It's right here. 1183 01:27:03,530 --> 01:27:04,890 It's going to go into the declaration. 1184 01:27:04,890 --> 01:27:11,310 That means you can't take down the tree, so that's the quantity because there are claimants 1185 01:27:11,310 --> 01:27:15,750 on the state, the underfeated vows, which is what they've already done on property. 1186 01:27:16,310 --> 01:27:16,510 Yeah. 1187 01:27:18,590 --> 01:27:22,590 You can say except unsafe trees can be removed with permission of the town. 1188 01:27:24,150 --> 01:27:25,090 Well, that will be all the trees, 1189 01:27:27,490 --> 01:27:28,530 that's what we've experienced. 1190 01:27:29,030 --> 01:27:32,290 It should rein in the natural state and no lawns. 1191 01:27:32,370 --> 01:27:36,410 I mean, I want the two extremes mentioned because this is exactly what we went through with 1192 01:27:36,410 --> 01:27:37,230 the other applicant. 1193 01:27:39,010 --> 01:27:47,890 I don't recall it was part of what you submitted for our approval, the downpourable and state 1194 01:27:47,890 --> 01:27:49,330 DEC approval. 1195 01:27:49,770 --> 01:27:56,030 You could try to remove it and when it gets to the DEP, no, they're going to want the 1196 01:28:01,850 --> 01:28:06,170 is going to say maybe you could try to submit it to them if they don't require it. 1197 01:28:08,720 --> 01:28:11,640 Okay, are we good with the other points? 1198 01:28:11,960 --> 01:28:12,840 You're going to address them? 1199 01:28:13,040 --> 01:28:14,580 No other clarification needed? 1200 01:28:15,980 --> 01:28:17,800 Any of the board members have any more comments? 1201 01:28:18,960 --> 01:28:19,760 I don't. 1202 01:28:21,140 --> 01:28:21,640 I don't. 1203 01:28:21,800 --> 01:28:22,660 Either at this point. 1204 01:28:24,800 --> 01:28:25,740 Thank you very much. 1205 01:28:25,760 --> 01:28:26,460 Thank you. 1206 01:28:30,500 --> 01:28:33,180 I don't know that we can get all of this addressed. 1207 01:28:34,280 --> 01:28:38,320 No, we just keep the public hearing open through all of this discussion. 1208 01:28:38,720 --> 01:28:38,880 Okay. 1209 01:28:39,160 --> 01:28:39,540 Thank you. 1210 01:28:39,780 --> 01:28:40,800 Thank you. 1211 01:28:40,980 --> 01:28:42,960 All right. 1212 01:28:43,100 --> 01:28:45,420 We have the minutes of April 4th and April 18th. 1213 01:28:45,420 --> 01:28:48,360 Are the board members in a position to move on them? 1214 01:28:49,700 --> 01:28:50,520 Yeah, board approval. 1215 01:28:51,120 --> 01:28:52,080 I'll second that. 1216 01:28:52,080 --> 01:28:53,060 on favor. 1217 01:28:56,560 --> 01:29:03,440 The financial report for April I'll make a motion to approve.

At the end of the work session, do I have a second? 1229 01:30:05,480 --> 01:30:05,900 So yes. 1230 01:30:06,300 --> 01:30:06,800 All in favor? 1231 01:30:07,100 --> 01:30:07,540 No, you can't. 1232 01:30:08,160 --> 01:30:09,500 Okay, on the work session. 1233 01:30:11,560 --> 01:30:22,700 At our next meeting on May 16th, the town board is going to join us the first half hour or so, so we can present to them the sign ordinance. 1234 01:30:24,140 --> 01:30:41,600 Now, I know Bill, you've had it for a few weeks, and Dan, you're very new to this, but I'd like to do a quick run through tonight and see whether or not the two of you may have any issues because I'd like it to go as smoothly as possible when we have the town board here to talk to us. 1235 01:30:42,900 --> 01:30:48,480 This all came about almost three years ago now when the town attorney mentioned to us 1236 01:30:48,480 --> 01:30:55,140 that because of recent court cases, we had to take a look at some sections of our sign 1237 01:30:55,140 --> 01:30:59,540 ordinance to make sure that they were something, what content neutral, right? 1238 01:31:00,760 --> 01:31:07,760 So we did that and we made it, we decided to do a few other little quick changes to it 1239 01:31:07,760 --> 01:31:29,760 And we would thought we were done with it when one of the applicants who did not want to do signs as part of her site plan approval told us that she was a new member of the Chamber of Commerce, and she thought that other businesses may have concerns, and could we wait until she pulled the members of the Chamber of Commerce, and maybe we talked about some other changes. 1240 01:31:30,460 --> 01:31:33,940 So we waited and waited a few months, and we did not hear from her. 1241 01:31:33,940 --> 01:31:38,320 her, but she did send a memo to the town board, which was a little confusing. 1242 01:31:38,740 --> 01:31:45,640 So we finally got her connected with her, and she did not do a survey of the businesses, 1243 01:31:45,980 --> 01:31:47,840 but she did submit a list of questions. 1244 01:31:49,120 --> 01:31:55,620 And it was very good for us because of the questions we understood that people still weren't 1245 01:31:55,620 --> 01:32:02,320 following our sign ordinance, and Will said, you know what, if we kind of rearranged it 1246 01:32:02,320 --> 01:32:08,100 and redrafted it. It might be more helpful. And she also had a few suggestions in there 1247 01:32:08,100 --> 01:32:13,540 that we thought were good, for instance, when a new business comes to town, they like 1248 01:32:13,540 --> 01:32:18,880 to have some signage that says we're new or open. So we listened to, we went through all 1249 01:32:18,880 --> 01:32:24,100 of her questions, we picked up on a few that made some sense, and with that we redrafted 1250 01:32:24,100 --> 01:32:30,740 the sign ordinance. One of the things that we did hold on to and we held on to very strongly 1251 01:32:30,740 --> 01:32:40,140 was the size of signs and to support that position, I put together in this book, this book 1252 01:32:40,140 --> 01:32:44,760 sits in my office and you're welcome to come in and take a look at it. It is a summary 1253 01:32:44,760 --> 01:32:51,420 of every sign that I could get my hands on. There's also a, like an Excel spreadsheet 1254 01:32:51,420 --> 01:32:58,260 in there of which ones needed a variance, which ones were pre-existing, et cetera. So that 1255 01:32:58,260 --> 01:33:00,220 That was a very handy tool that we had. 1256 01:33:01,220 --> 01:33:06,540 We also brought up on the screen every commercial district in town, and we actually physically 1257 01:33:06,540 --> 01:33:10,760 looked at the buildings, the frontage, the distance to the road. 1258 01:33:11,580 --> 01:33:19,480 To get a better handle on what the impact might be, if you change the size of a sign, it 1259 01:33:19,480 --> 01:33:24,600 might be okay in one area of town, but it might be horrible and like croat and falls or 1260 01:33:24,600 --> 01:33:26,260 parties to have bigger signs. 1261 01:33:26,260 --> 01:33:26,400 science. 1262 01:33:26,960 --> 01:33:33,140 So we went through that exercise and at the end of the day, we were the then five members 1263 01:33:33,140 --> 01:33:36,440 of the planning board were pretty unanimous that we wanted to keep the size of the sign 1264 01:33:36,440 --> 01:33:37,080 the way it was. 1265 01:33:37,520 --> 01:33:43,080 But we did one change that actually increased the size of the sign. 1266 01:33:43,480 --> 01:33:48,580 We decided in the way you look at it, this is the face of the sign and most signs have 1267 01:33:48,580 --> 01:33:53,760 trim around it, so you don't have to count trim up to six inches around. 1268 01:33:53,760 --> 01:33:58,180 So basically changed the square footage of a sign from 8 square feet to 10 square feet. 1269 01:33:58,740 --> 01:34:00,920 We thought that was a good compromise for people. 1270 01:34:02,580 --> 01:34:08,480 So with that, if you could give a very quick overview of, I think everyone now has a packet 1271 01:34:08,480 --> 01:34:20,780 in front of them of the sign ordinance, done, put it in your packets, and if you just highlight 1272 01:34:20,780 --> 01:34:25,700 some of the changes, particularly with the content neutral stuff? 1273 01:34:27,200 --> 01:34:27,480 Yeah. 1274 01:34:29,460 --> 01:34:39,660 In looking at assigned regulations and bringing them up to date with current practices, we've 1275 01:34:40,980 --> 01:34:46,500 added a bunch of definitions and the added definitions came in because of the other changes 1276 01:34:46,500 --> 01:34:49,600 that were made throughout the code. 1277 01:34:51,170 --> 01:35:00,000 The section with regards to permitted signs, exempts. 1278 01:35:01,220 --> 01:35:27,760 We've added clarity to improve what the code is actually saying and what it's allowing. With the whole thing about the, in a sense, uniformity and this issue of contact neutral, that's really a lot of the, that came into play under the exempt signs, where we had to kind of make things pretty much uniform, because you really, when you have one sign for one outfit, 1279 01:35:27,760 --> 01:35:30,280 but you can't really do it differently for another, 1280 01:35:30,960 --> 01:35:35,280 like a church versus a school versus some other charity type event. 1281 01:35:35,460 --> 01:35:39,820 They really are supposed to have the same ability as far as the size, 1282 01:35:40,760 --> 01:35:41,920 durations, and whatnot. 1283 01:35:42,580 --> 01:35:44,180 So we spent a lot of time with that. 1284 01:35:44,320 --> 01:35:48,820 And that's what the, in many ways, is those three boxes on pages five and six, 1285 01:35:50,060 --> 01:35:55,060 trying to bring those into conformity with that larger issue that was kind of 1286 01:35:55,060 --> 01:35:56,340 the beginning of all of this. 1287 01:35:58,240 --> 01:36:00,440 And it's also been condensed into those tables. 1288 01:36:00,980 --> 01:36:02,360 It's a little clearer, I think, 1289 01:36:02,580 --> 01:36:06,060 if you pick out which sign it is from that point of view. 1290 01:36:07,200 --> 01:36:11,000 With prohibited signs, we added a few other clarifications 1291 01:36:11,000 --> 01:36:13,460 as the type of signs obviously that are prohibited. 1292 01:36:15,900 --> 01:36:18,780 Similar with permitted signs, a little bit more clarity 1293 01:36:19,680 --> 01:36:20,820 about the different things. 1294 01:36:21,000 --> 01:36:23,200 We've added the thing about the directional signage 1295 01:36:23,200 --> 01:36:29,440 at the bottom. And the way these signs kind of go, the main signs, the principal signs 1296 01:36:29,440 --> 01:36:34,480 are the freestanding sign and a wall sign, and then the directional signs are the little 1297 01:36:34,480 --> 01:36:36,640 signs that get you in and around the property. 1298 01:36:38,880 --> 01:36:44,750 We provided in the design standards which are 1299 01:36:44,750 --> 01:36:45,670 on page 9. 1300 01:36:47,770 --> 01:36:53,290 We move things around, so some things you may see coming out may show up somewhere 1301 01:36:53,290 --> 01:36:56,870 and a different section that made more sense, so that was part of a rearrangement of some 1302 01:36:56,870 --> 01:36:58,070 of the things in the design. 1303 01:36:59,070 --> 01:37:05,690 Again, being more clear or adding more information as to what the town would be expecting with 1304 01:37:05,690 --> 01:37:11,250 the design assigns, and how to measure the signs, that was another big piece here, that's 1305 01:37:11,890 --> 01:37:16,530 section F, the measurement of a wall sign, the measurement of free standing sign, and that 1306 01:37:16,530 --> 01:37:22,310 was one of the things that Cindy just said, the allowance for this outer border, which 1307 01:37:22,310 --> 01:37:25,870 which kind of made the sign a little better than the traditional heat square feet. 1308 01:37:27,770 --> 01:37:32,630 We talked about sign placement and this is some of the things got moved into here from 1309 01:37:32,630 --> 01:37:39,230 other sections and again we talked a little bit about other types of signs such as awning 1310 01:37:39,230 --> 01:37:46,030 signs and window signs, things that hadn't been dealt with but do occur out in the real world. 1311 01:37:47,070 --> 01:37:53,650 The Materials section, I think these are a lot of things that the board has done over 1312 01:37:53,650 --> 01:37:58,090 the years as people came in with sign permits, so we're trying to codify some of those things 1313 01:37:58,090 --> 01:38:04,690 to make it more upfront as to what's expected and one of the things here, we did a recommendation 1314 01:38:04,690 --> 01:38:09,570 of the character heights and the maximums and minimums of lettering basically on the science 1315 01:38:09,570 --> 01:38:16,010 because there actually is some science to the speed on a road of what you can see, what 1316 01:38:16,010 --> 01:38:19,910 and sometimes people put a lot of words on signs 1317 01:38:19,910 --> 01:38:22,310 and they make it very small and you can't read it. 1318 01:38:22,490 --> 01:38:24,910 So it doesn't give them one, 1319 01:38:25,010 --> 01:38:27,130 it's a distraction on the road for a motorist, 1320 01:38:27,310 --> 01:38:29,930 it doesn't also give you an idea of where you are 1321 01:38:29,930 --> 01:38:30,710 or what you're seeing, 1322 01:38:30,970 --> 01:38:32,590 so that doesn't help the business any. 1323 01:38:34,350 --> 01:38:37,210 And in some respects, some people put too much on the sign. 1324 01:38:37,450 --> 01:38:40,190 So we're trying to deal with the minimum letter size. 1325 01:38:40,730 --> 01:38:44,310 So it's visible, it tells what it needs it to say 1326 01:38:44,310 --> 01:38:46,210 and safe on the road. 1327 01:38:47,650 --> 01:38:55,330 We've added the sections with regard to illumination and street identification, obviously that 1328 01:38:55,330 --> 01:38:58,810 towers in with the 911 process or our system. 1329 01:38:59,730 --> 01:39:06,070 And then some minor changes to the enforcement sections, not conforming section, but then 1330 01:39:06,070 --> 01:39:13,030 we added more to help the buildings factor with regards to the ongoing maintenance and replacement 1331 01:39:18,470 --> 01:39:29,650 There's two things I want to point out if you go back to page 4 at the top item B. This has been very handy and I think very helpful. 1332 01:39:30,090 --> 01:39:43,010 We used to make everybody come in for every sign, but in I think in 2015 we changed it so that if you're a new business and there was a previously approved sign, 1333 01:39:43,010 --> 01:39:48,690 you can just take that one down and put yours up unless you change the size 1334 01:39:48,690 --> 01:39:54,690 height color yard setbacks and we even in this round we're even taking out 1335 01:39:54,690 --> 01:39:58,770 the word color so if you stick in with the same size height yard setbacks and 1336 01:39:58,770 --> 01:39:59,410 illumination. 1337 01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:07,200 Just put up your new sign for your new business. I think this will be very helpful because we've been criticized for that in the past. 1338 01:40:10,020 --> 01:40:27,700 One other thing, Roland, you told us, I believe, that we're writing this for property, signs on people's individual property, that a sign put out in a street right away is not permitted at all. 1339 01:40:31,620 --> 01:40:35,880 I'm almost thinking we have to actually come right out and say it because people don't believe me. 1340 01:40:36,080 --> 01:40:39,840 And I've had so many conversations with the building inspector about it and he says, 1341 01:40:40,020 --> 01:40:44,580 I'm not comfortable removing a sign that's in the right away. 1342 01:40:45,380 --> 01:40:46,420 And I said, why not? 1343 01:40:47,120 --> 01:40:51,280 I talked to the town attorney, he's told us that they're not supposed to be there. 1344 01:40:52,000 --> 01:40:57,040 So is it just he has the right to do it for town right away or not state or unless 1345 01:40:57,040 --> 01:41:05,600 Yes, unless a town board chooses otherwise to permit signs in the right of way, they are 1346 01:41:05,600 --> 01:41:11,980 not approved to be there, and its town property, unauthorized signs should be removed, and 1347 01:41:11,980 --> 01:41:17,000 they should be, as other towns do, they don't throw them away, they put them in a centralized 1348 01:41:17,000 --> 01:41:22,620 area, they inform the, whoever's ever on the sign where they are and they can be picked 1349 01:41:22,620 --> 01:41:23,760 up and relocated. 1350 01:41:24,160 --> 01:41:24,280 Right. 1351 01:41:24,280 --> 01:41:29,720 The same thing whether it's a state right away or a county state does not permit signs on their on their 1352 01:41:29,720 --> 01:41:36,540 I was I'm wondering if we almost should somehow put that in here and make it clear to people. Yeah, I you know, it's funny 1353 01:41:36,540 --> 01:41:45,120 I was thinking the same thing as I was reading through this again, and I wasn't quite sure what this meant on premises on page five 1354 01:41:48,160 --> 01:41:55,260 on premises, temporary signs specific to the property upon which they are placed, and 1355 01:41:55,260 --> 01:42:00,880 the first three bullets I understand, but the fourth bullet has to do with campaigns 1356 01:42:00,880 --> 01:42:05,520 of events of civic, political, religious, philanthropic, and educational institutions. 1357 01:42:05,980 --> 01:42:08,120 They're not going to be specific for property, 1358 01:42:12,290 --> 01:42:13,610 so that's got to be changed. 1359 01:42:13,610 --> 01:42:14,250 But 1360 01:42:16,840 --> 01:42:24,820 that's where I think you would make it clear that these exempt signs can be used 1361 01:42:24,820 --> 01:42:27,600 only on private property and not on public property. 1362 01:42:27,920 --> 01:42:33,360 But it's a subject to discuss with the town board because they may want to tell you that 1363 01:42:35,140 --> 01:42:39,340 they want to set a different policy and they control the property of the town. 1364 01:42:40,060 --> 01:42:44,660 But they could do it for any right away, whether it's state, county or town. 1365 01:42:44,660 --> 01:42:54,400 For some communities designate, you know, a specific area, maybe like the triangle down that's a perfect area. 1366 01:42:54,640 --> 01:43:00,940 Summers has a similar spot near the elephant hotel that they designate for common signs. 1367 01:43:01,500 --> 01:43:04,820 But the town would have to get permission from the state, for instance. 1368 01:43:05,080 --> 01:43:08,620 At that location, yes. But if you had another location that was town. 1369 01:43:08,620 --> 01:43:08,900 It was a town. 1370 01:43:09,260 --> 01:43:11,100 And it would be a town for word decision. 1371 01:43:11,100 --> 01:43:17,680 Okay, so I think we need to point, I think we need to have this exact same conversation with the top board. 1372 01:43:18,480 --> 01:43:32,000 Well, on that point you were raising that I understand that that bullets of the different kinds of signs, obviously political, I mean that's, I get that doesn't really do specific property. 1373 01:43:33,240 --> 01:43:42,050 Is it the town's interest though to allow, you know, those event signs on everybody's property? 1374 01:43:43,090 --> 01:43:47,310 or are they just for the actual property that's holding the event? 1375 01:43:48,530 --> 01:43:53,670 Kagan- We, in this town, if the boy scouts are doing something, they go along and 1376 01:43:53,670 --> 01:43:56,770 they put up all these temporary signs, if the historical side is doing something. 1377 01:43:57,430 --> 01:43:58,890 And we ask people, we can't put them. 1378 01:43:59,130 --> 01:44:02,170 So we want to be able to do, so it's not specific to the problem. 1379 01:44:02,170 --> 01:44:07,010 Kagan- Right, so the question, like, if the high school is having a musical or something, 1380 01:44:07,370 --> 01:44:09,370 everyone puts it on their yard, but kids in the play. 1381 01:44:09,370 --> 01:44:23,230 So the quicker they should add is we would make another category and it would just stand alone right yeah right okay because the first three bullets make sense yeah it's got to be specific to the property. 1382 01:44:24,370 --> 01:44:27,950 Do we have to say with permission of the property or was that just assumed? 1383 01:44:28,830 --> 01:44:30,610 I think it's assumed. 1384 01:44:30,610 --> 01:44:32,950 As always, the property owner will remove it. 1385 01:44:33,350 --> 01:44:33,490 Okay. 1386 01:44:35,170 --> 01:44:41,770 And maybe under enforcement, we can, if the town board doesn't want to allow them in right 1387 01:44:41,770 --> 01:44:46,790 a ways, maybe under enforcement or somewhere, we should state that these, you know, signs 1388 01:44:50,540 --> 01:44:55,040 place not on private property will be removed by the building inspector. 1389 01:44:55,040 --> 01:44:59,800 Do the other towns have similar language or do they or do they 1390 01:45:01,420 --> 01:45:21,230 The other times I'm familiar with, they just, the town board is a policy, just directs the building inspector that, you know, we actually could, we could fix item 254.J on page seven. 1391 01:45:26,450 --> 01:45:35,930 It says that we'll pay seven item J. It says signs which project over street, so we can, say, project on or off that, you know, 1392 01:45:35,930 --> 01:45:41,490 We can we could do something with that sentence to get whatever sentiment because the 1393 01:45:41,490 --> 01:45:45,210 The signs that are of the governmental nature. I think are 1394 01:45:45,870 --> 01:45:50,190 You just say signs that are in right-a-ways if that's what they want you put it right there 1395 01:45:50,190 --> 01:45:56,090 I mean, yeah, we don't have to create a new area right signs within right-a-ways or they project over right-a-ways 1396 01:45:56,090 --> 01:46:04,790 Rather than is our government science exempt somewhere yes and traffic controlling signs 1397 01:46:04,790 --> 01:46:07,270 Right, that's certainly an exam. 1398 01:46:08,030 --> 01:46:14,370 Yeah, so one and two would examine all the typical signs that the town puts in. 1399 01:46:16,430 --> 01:46:22,610 So J would then preclude the school from running its sign, of course, hot scrub or road between 1400 01:46:22,610 --> 01:46:23,230 the two poles. 1401 01:46:23,830 --> 01:46:28,810 So it could be signs within a street right away or which project over street? 1402 01:46:28,810 --> 01:46:30,890 are not subject to term zoning. 1403 01:46:31,830 --> 01:46:34,550 But it's on town property. 1404 01:46:34,730 --> 01:46:36,190 Oh, there's the county road. 1405 01:46:36,190 --> 01:46:36,990 That's the county road. 1406 01:46:37,130 --> 01:46:40,130 Yeah, but they're subject to laws off site. 1407 01:46:40,790 --> 01:46:41,590 OK, so. 1408 01:46:43,050 --> 01:46:44,810 Yeah, they can go put a sign on here. 1409 01:46:44,850 --> 01:46:46,950 What sign do they put up for a festival or something?

1417 01:47:15,480 --> 01:47:17,960 Actually, I guess you don't have to say the project park exists. 1418 01:47:19,460 --> 01:47:24,480 We're going to have an issue with that, because one of our applicants is already doing it. 1419 01:47:25,320 --> 01:47:26,720 She's doing a lot of things now, so. 1420 01:47:32,460 --> 01:47:38,960 So, are the new board members more, more or less comfortable with this? 1421 01:47:40,300 --> 01:47:46,020 We are going to get a lot of resistance and discussion with the town board. 1422 01:47:46,020 --> 01:47:54,160 I've already been put through the ropes, yes, I did say that a few weeks ago, no, a week ago. 1423 01:47:54,160 --> 01:48:04,480 So I sat down with Warren Logus and Peter Gamonstein and the building inspector because the building inspector was sitting and going through it and I said, why are you doing the sign ordinance now?

1441 01:49:23,700 --> 01:49:25,280 And he's never been specific. 1442 01:49:25,980 --> 01:49:28,020 So I don't know if it's, you know, 1443 01:49:28,120 --> 01:49:30,980 one property complaining a lot, 1444 01:49:31,060 --> 01:49:32,480 or if there's a lot of complaints. 1445 01:49:32,800 --> 01:49:36,520 Completing that they don't want to go to the planning board. 1446 01:49:36,520 --> 01:49:37,760 It's too expensive. 1447 01:49:38,340 --> 01:49:39,400 It's too this to that. 1448 01:49:39,520 --> 01:49:41,500 And I'm saying, first of all, 1449 01:49:41,500 --> 01:49:45,300 Well a sign permit is generally taken care of is part of the site plan. 1450 01:49:46,220 --> 01:49:46,920 That's when you do it. 1451 01:49:47,020 --> 01:49:48,620 It is a part and parcel of site plan. 1452 01:49:48,900 --> 01:49:52,740 We encourage everybody to do their signage, as we're doing with BP, we do it then. 1453 01:49:53,240 --> 01:49:53,680 And they're done. 1454 01:49:54,180 --> 01:49:59,200 Here's it's only those who don't do it as part of their site plan that have to come in 1455 01:49:59,200 --> 01:49:59,840 for process. 1456 01:50:00,560 --> 01:50:30,020 It's a fee set by the town, but what's 100 bucks? And it's generally one meeting of the planning board. What is so difficult about that? And if they don't like to follow the regulations, we send them to the board of appeals, and they get their variance, and they're done. And they mentioned, well, maybe we should send them to the architecture review board and have them do in the permitting. And I said, they're not a permitting board. You'd have to rewrite your code. I said, I don't understand who's complaining. I don't understand why. 1457 01:50:30,440 --> 01:50:33,380 You're not going to tell me who it is, how can we fix it? 1458 01:50:33,800 --> 01:50:35,680 You do understand who's complaining. 1459 01:50:36,160 --> 01:50:40,340 Well, I did mention that I know that there are two businesses that complain. 1460 01:50:40,680 --> 01:50:42,680 And I all seem to be based on those two businesses. 1461 01:50:43,340 --> 01:50:48,900 I said, we don't rewrite an entire code because a business in the center of your town 1462 01:50:48,900 --> 01:50:50,460 wants to have a lot of signage up. 1463 01:50:51,560 --> 01:50:53,620 I said, go back and read the company as a plan. 1464 01:50:54,520 --> 01:50:57,800 Let's bring it up into weeks when there are lots of years. 1465 01:50:57,800 --> 01:51:00,860 Okay, so that's what we are with that, thank you. 1466 01:51:00,880 --> 01:51:03,920 Do we have, is there any overriding thing 1467 01:51:03,920 --> 01:51:05,080 on agricultural land?
