Acceptance
of Agenda:
Since there were no corrections to the Agenda, it was accepted
Approval of September 20, 2007 Minutes:
Debra Jaskula found a correction to the Minutes. On Page 3,
2nd paragraph, 3rd line, it should read "talked about alternate
sites", not ultimate. Bob Baker made a motion to approve
the September 20, 2007 Minutes with the correction. Tim Anderson
seconded the motion. All ayes. Motion carried.
Old Business:
Application #2007-02 - United Group - Oswego College Suites
- Area Variance:
Greg said we are not in a position to take any action at this
time. Kevin said he has had no communication from any representatives
of United Group. Marge explained that at the Planning Board
Meeting Monday night, Jeff Boyer, Chairman made a few phone
calls. He called Mr. Condino, of Barton and Loguidice, and they
are working on the new traffic study. It should be done within
a couple of weeks. He also mentioned about the new hot dog stand
going in, which is another creation of traffic. He talked to
some State people as far as the archaeology wouldn't have much
of an impact. He also checked on the wildlife and endangered
species, and that wouldn't have an impact.
Kevin said that the point with the engineers that the Town has
hired is that we need that in writing. The same goes with all
the state agencies. Greg said regarding the Environmental Impact
Statement will be done by the Planning Board. Kevin said if
they determine there is no negative impact, as they are the
lead agency.
New Business:
Kevin stated Marge just gave him some information on the Zappala
farm purchase by Daniel Dorsey. Kevin asked if Eagle Beverage
will be the applicant, and Marge said the name of the business
will be Great Lakes Warehousing and Recycling. Kevin said they
are not altering the character of the neighborhood because it
is being used as a warehouse now. Kevin said the County wouldn't
be involved because it is not a State or County Road. Tim asked
about OCWA, and Kevin said it is a facility, but that would
not trigger a #239.
Public Comment:
No one from the public present.
Open Board Discussion:
Deb said we had a discussion at the last meeting about the property
being built at Nunzi's. Deb said she checked it out, as she
walked up in there. She estimated that it is 25 feet from the
rock shore. Greg said he had raised the issue with Theresa,
and she said it should be brought up with Wayne. Bob Baker said
you can't build over the 100 foot line. Tim said this refers
to Coastal Erosion, and the DEC would be involved, and Kevin
pointed out the red line on the map. Kevin read from a brochure
on Coastal Erosion "As a property owner in an erosion hazard
area, how do the regulations affect me? Structural hazard areas
only moveable structures may be constructed. Also applies to
any addition to existing buildings." Deb said we just gave
a variance to someone who is very close to the shore line. Kevin
said that was outside the erosion area. It pretty much starts
at Rudy's. Since the Town has not adopted its own erosion control
regulations, the jurisdiction falls to the DEC.
Greg said when he first heard about the Raynor building, the
property is up where the Clam Shack used to be. Deb said she
is not the best judge of distance, but would say it is in 100
feet of the shoreline.
Adjournment:
At approximately 7:30 PM, Tim Anderson made a motion to adjourn
the meeting. Deb Jaskula seconded the motion. All ayes. Motion
carried.
Respectfully submitted,
Marjorie Best,
ZBA Secretary
