101
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:26,959
The current the site is currently

00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,519
improved with a gas station that

103
00:03:26,959 --> 00:03:31,840

107
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:42,720
discussed by the project engineer. The

108
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:44,959
proposed applications uh seek minor

109
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:47,840
minor modifications to the previously

110
00:03:44,959 --> 00:03:50,799
approved 2000 site plan which was

111
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:54,319
granted on August 7th of 20 of 2000 by

112
00:03:50,799 --> 00:03:56,799
resolution 2000-112.

113
00:03:54,319 --> 00:03:58,799
Um as previously noted um no

114
00:03:56,799 --> 00:04:01,200
modifications are proposed to the gas

115
00:03:58,799 --> 00:04:03,599
station, convenience store, fuel pumps

116
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,200
or the fuel canopy.

117
00:04:03,599 --> 00:04:08,000
Um,

118
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:10,480
so as more fully depicted on the color

119
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,879
site plan rendering, the applicant will

120
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:15,920
be providing a continuous row of

121
00:04:12,879 --> 00:04:18,479
alternating green juniper and e emerald

122
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:21,600
arborvite along the southerntherly

123
00:04:18,479 --> 00:04:23,680
sideyard property line which when which

124
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,840
will will then extend along the rear

125
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:28,240
curb line behind the the convenience

126
00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:31,240
store and then extend along the westerly

127
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,240
sideyard.

128
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:40,000
Um the rear yard already includes a ve a

129
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:43,440
vegetated buffer area primarily of uh of

130
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:45,680
grass area and mature trees. Um this

131
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:48,080
application will supplement the rear

132
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:50,080
yard buffer by adding an additional four

133
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:53,680
trees which will include two golden rain

134
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:55,440
trees and two Japanese lilac trees. Um,

135
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:58,639
an additional three trees will be

136
00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:00,479
planted along the uh the westerly side

137
00:04:58,639 --> 00:05:03,680
of the convenience store to help further

138
00:05:00,479 --> 00:05:06,320
screen um the convenience store from the

139
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:08,960
abuing residential property. Uh, in

140
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:11,520
regard to site access, um, no changes

141
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:14,800
are there no changes. There's two

142
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:18,320
existing uh, curb cuts on straight path

143
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:20,639
and one uh, driveway on Little East Neck

144
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:23,039
Road. Um both of the all all three

145
00:05:20,639 --> 00:05:25,759
driveways will remain.

146
00:05:23,039 --> 00:05:28,080
Um so with that um we have our project

147
00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:30,160
engineer who's available to uh answer

148
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:33,400
any questions that the board or public

149
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,400
may have.

150
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,440
» Okay.

151
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,160
» Sure.

152
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,400
» Hi. Good evening.

153
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:49,120
» Good evening. Can can you uh talk a

154
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,400
little bit about the um covenant and

155
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:55,919
restriction number five?

156
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:58,400
» Sure. So, as the um there's a a a line

157
00:05:55,919 --> 00:06:00,240
in covenant number five talking about

158
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,840
the applicant and or the property owner

159
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,319
or applicant being responsible to

160
00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:07,120
maintain an automatic fire uh sprinkler

161
00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:09,600
system. That is not required for this

162
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:11,440
project um because we're not proposing

163
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:14,319
any changes to the existing convenience

164
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:16,000
store. Um just for the record that this

165
00:06:14,319 --> 00:06:18,000
Different versions of that covenant were

166
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,880
included in prior planning department uh

167
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:23,039
memos. Um it was previously removed and

168
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:25,600
this just this was one remaining hold

169
00:06:23,039 --> 00:06:27,520
over. So we wanted that that portion of

170
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:31,479
that covenant to be removed to avoid any

171
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,479
confusion in the future.

172
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:37,840
» Um

173
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,960
parking uh as far as what's allowable

174
00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:43,680
and what you have.

175
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:46,720
» Sure. Um let me see. We have

176
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:50,520
12 stalls are proposed and the town code

177
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,520
requires uh

178
00:06:51,039 --> 00:06:54,000
seven stalls are required. 12 are

179
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:57,680
proposed.

180
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:59,199
» Thank you. And then in the um

181
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,919
information we received, there's been

182
00:06:59,199 --> 00:07:03,120
some prior issues with uh overnight

183
00:07:01,919 --> 00:07:06,000
parking in the vehicles.

184
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:08,160
» Correct. So um I could have the engineer

185
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:10,240
talk more about the site layout to help

186
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:13,759
prevent that. Um, but the additional

187
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:16,560
landscaping um and fences that are going

188
00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:19,039

Shioone here with me. He's the project

268
00:10:10,959 --> 00:10:16,079
engineer from IMEG Engineering. And I

269
00:10:13,519 --> 00:10:19,680
also have uh my clients in the back over

270
00:10:16,079 --> 00:10:21,839
there. Okay, great. So, tonight we're

271
00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:24,480
seeking u site plan approval for the

272
00:10:21,839 --> 00:10:27,440
property located at one Bahama Street in

273
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:30,959
Lindenhurst for use as a scrap metal

274
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:33,120
processing facility. Um our client is uh

275
00:10:30,959 --> 00:10:36,320
the contract vendee of the property.

276
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:39,360
They don't occupy the site yet. Um the

277
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:41,440
subject property is zone G industry and

278
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:44,720
is situated within an established

279
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:48,240
industrial park um just north of

280
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:50,720
Railroad Avenue and just west of uh

281
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:54,160
Great East Neck Road. The property

282
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:57,519
measures approximately 1.3 acres and has

283
00:10:54,160 --> 00:11:00,480
frontage along uh three streets, Bahama

284
00:10:57,519 --> 00:11:03,760
Street to the south, Henry Street to the

285
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,959
uh east, and Thorborn Avenue to the

286
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:08,399
north.

287
00:11:04,959 --> 00:11:10,560
In uh November of 2025,

288
00:11:08,399 --> 00:11:13,200
the town board took the initiative on

289
00:11:10,560 --> 00:11:16,880
its own motion um to include the subject

290
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:20,560
property into the RMM area 3 overlay

291
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:22,560
district. So, as a result, um we're no

292
00:11:20,560 --> 00:11:25,200
longer seeking a change of zone to H

293
00:11:22,560 --> 00:11:27,120
industry, but obviously we do still

294
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:29,680
require a site plan approval from this

295
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:32,560
board as well as a special exception

296
00:11:29,680 --> 00:11:36,160
from the zoning board of appeals.

297
00:11:32,560 --> 00:11:39,920
Um, at present the site is improved with

298
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:43,839
a 2400 square f foot one-story building

299
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:46,240
as well as two uh open air structures.

300
00:11:43,839 --> 00:11:47,839
Uh, each of them are about 1,900 square

301
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,920
ft.

302
00:11:47,839 --> 00:11:52,880
So, our application seeks to legalize

303
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:55,600
the existing structures on the site um

304
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:59,040
and more importantly bring the site into

305
00:11:55,600 --> 00:12:01,600
uh into compliance with um with town

306
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:04,000
standards um through some muchneeded

307
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:06,720
site improvements. Uh, as you can see

308
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:08,320
from the proposed site plan, we will be

309
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:11,920
adding

310
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:13,920
curbing and striping, drainage, um, a

311
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:16,720
landscape buffer around the perimeter of

312
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:19,680
the property, uh, dark sky compliant

313
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:21,760
lighting, new driveways at each

314
00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:24,560
entrance,

315
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:28,320
um, and ADA ramps at the corners of

316
00:12:24,560 --> 00:12:32,240
Henry Street and Bahama Street and Henry

317
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:34,399
Street. Uh well, Thorborn Avenue and

318
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:37,200
Henry Street and Henry Street and Bahama

319
00:12:34,399 --> 00:12:41,120
a and Bahama Street.

320
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:43,360
Um so the application in in our opinion

321
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:45,680
um represents a significant investment

322
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:48,160
into the property and we believe that

323
00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:50,160
the improvements will uh enhance the

324
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:52,160
surrounding area.

325
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:54,079
So with that, I'd be happy to answer any

326
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:56,320
questions the board may have and you

00:12:54,079 --> 00:13:00,399

00:14:55,839 --> 00:14:58,959
client?

373
00:14:56,639 --> 00:15:02,279
» Yeah. Um which covenant are you

374
00:14:58,959 --> 00:15:02,279
referring to?

375
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:09,120
» Uh number 10. I just wanted to reiterate

376
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:10,480
that that's one of the uh covenants and

377
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,920
restrictions

378
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,839
» And there's no issue with that. Correct.

379
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,680
» No issue. Okay. Very good. You mentioned

380
00:15:13,839 --> 00:15:17,279
that you guys aren't currently the owner

381
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,880
or operator of this site. Correct.

382
00:15:17,279 --> 00:15:20,720
» We're the contract vendee. Yes.

383
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,560
» Okay. And how many employees are you

384
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,600
anticipating on currently having or

385
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,199
» Six?

386
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,279
» Okay.

387
00:15:25,199 --> 00:15:28,959
» And we do have, you know, 25 parking

388
00:15:27,279 --> 00:15:30,000
stalls, which is compliant to town

389
00:15:28,959 --> 00:15:32,560
standards.

390
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,480
» And what's the anticipation of or

391
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,000
anticipated uh flow of traffic that

392
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:38,240
you're going to be actually having

393
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,000
people cycled through the site? I I know

394
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,040
there's multiple options here, but are

395
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,120
you going to be closing off something

396
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,560
and directing them in one direction

397
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,120
since there's two ways throughout the

398
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,800
site?

399
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,800
» Talk about the site circulation.

400
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,480
» Yeah, we we have a site circulation

401
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:53,480
plan, but you know, Rob can address

402
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,480
that.

403
00:15:58,639 --> 00:16:02,240
» Hi, I'm Rob Shaw. I'm from IMEG. I'm a

404
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,519
site civil engineer. Can

405
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,920
» You say your address for the record?

406
00:16:03,519 --> 00:16:07,600
» Uh, it's 177 Crossways Park Drive in

407
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,519
Woodbury. And then do you sort of tell

408
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,959
the whole truth? Nothing but the truth?

409
00:16:09,519 --> 00:16:14,160
» Yes, I do. Go ahead.

410
00:16:10,959 --> 00:16:15,839
» All right. So, there's going to be the

411
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:18,320
vehicles will enter on the south side of

412
00:16:15,839 --> 00:16:20,320
the site on Bahama Street. Um, there

413
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:24,000
will be no cues. There's no anticipated

414
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:28,000
cues on site. Um, the general

415
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:30,560
uh circulation. I believe we have that

416
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:36,680
on here.

417
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:36,680
Yeah. From behind. Um, I have the

418
00:16:37,199 --> 00:16:41,279
pro approximately five passenger

419
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:43,920
vehicles will visit per hour. So there's

420
00:16:41,279 --> 00:16:45,759
pretty much no queue on site. Um that

421
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:48,800
gives people ample time to circulate the

422
00:16:45,759 --> 00:16:50,959
site and exit while also uh removing

423
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,639
their material from their vehicles

424
00:16:50,959 --> 00:16:53,839
» And they'll most likely be exiting from

425
00:16:52,639 --> 00:16:55,839
Henry Street I assume.

426
00:16:53,839 --> 00:16:57,600
» So most of the vehicles on site will be

427
00:16:55,839 --> 00:17:00,000
uh small vehicles either person

428
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:02,720
passenger vehicles or SUVs or uh single

429
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:05,039
unit trucks. they can uh circulate in

430
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:07,120
internally using the circulation lanes

431
00:17:05,039 --> 00:17:08,720
that we have striped on the plan.

432
00:17:07,120 --> 00:17:11,959
» Okay.

433
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,959
Thank you.

434
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,199
» Is there anyone from the public who

435
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:17,760
would like to come up and talk about

436
00:17:15,199 --> 00:17:20,000
this application?

437
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:23,199
Going once, going twice. All right.

438
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,799
Seeing none, um can I have a motion to

439
00:17:23,199 --> 00:17:27,520
close the public hearing and reserve

440
00:17:24,799 --> 00:17:29,120
decision by Julianne?

441
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,039
» Motion to close the hearing.

442
00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:32,320
» Second by Juan. Second.

443
00:17:31,039 --> 00:17:34,320
» All in favor?

444
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:36,559
» I

445
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:38,080
» Uh the public hearing is now closed. The

446
00:17:36,559 --> 00:17:39,760
