OLD BUSINESS: Whiteface Outlook-North Sky Development-Jack Levitt
*DOH letter from 4/23/09 was discussed. Some things still need to be addressed by Jack Levitt. There was some discussion on Ross Scovatti not being notified because he had changed his address.
*Also discussed was the bill from Cindy Garso which puts Jack over his escrow amount. Bob will send him a letter.
Whiteface Overlook-Alan Openheim
*The APA is requiring additional information from Alan at this time.
WFE VENTURES – Peter Coffrin-Sudivision on John Bliss Rd.
*Subdivision is actually a 9 lot subdivision; Peter still needs to submit $25 for the fee for the 9th lot.
*There was some discussion on the Historical Preservation process that is required.
*Discussion ensued on the load weight for the bridge. Peter stated that the bridge would accommodate a fire truck. There was some concern over the weight of a cement truck. His design engineer stated that they would produce a certification that the bridge would support a cement truck.
*There is a variance application in front of the zoning board to reduce the rear setback requirements.
*Peter presented the SWMP which will be finalized tomorrow and will be submitted to Bob Guynup at that time.
*SEQR form needs to be completed.
*DEC will review the SWMP. Does not need further review by a town engineer. Would need to know any conditions made by DEC.
*Utilities will be underground.
*Discussion was held on the SPEDES permit.
*Bridge and the road is the responsibility of the landowners.
*Bob Peters questioned what would happen in the future if the bridge needed to be replaced.
*Peter stated that there will be an agreement with the homeowners and money is set aside in escrow
for maintenance. This is done through covenants. It is set up similar to a homeowners association but not as stringent.
*Would like t set up public hearing and try for conditional approval.
*Public hearing set for June 1st.
NEW BUSINESS
*Roy Holzer – Conditional Use Permit
*Wish to use the old town hall building for special events; upstairs as a rental hall; downstairs
as office space, etc.,
*Judi Gould questioned the construction of the building and who is certifying that the building is safe. It was felt there might be a building code issue and not a land use code issue. There was further discussion on previous considerations that had been given to uses for the building. The building is being reconstructed by Roy Holzer, the new owner. The water issue has been resolved.
*Recommendation to the zoning board: There were no objections to the issuance of a conditional use permit.
*Debbie Boyce-Logging permit-John Bliss Road & Bonnieview Road.
*Property belongs to Pam McDonald-175 acre area.
*Possible landing on John Bliss Road and on Bonnieview Road.
*This will be a selective cutting and will be a managed forest removing a lot of the ice storm damage.
*This is in scenic corridor and needs to be 150’ from the highway.
*This is located in an R-3 area.
*They are presently doing up to 25 acres which is allowed with the rest of the project starting in the fall.
*Recommendations to the zoning board: There were no objections to the issuance of a conditional use permit.
*Gary Follos/Ortiz- 7/10 acre minimum size lot on Haselton Road.
*Recommendations to the Zoning Board: No issues with issuing a permit,
