          Architect Joseph See represented the property owner, Michael Masters, and stated his intent to renovate the first floor of the building at 1365 Indian Church Road for two additional apartments, noting there are currently three apartments in the front building and one in the rear. Approval was granted by the Zoning Board for a variance for reduction of the required bulk area from 36,000 sf to 14,091 sf.  Mr. Masters also intends to increase the parking to 12 spaces, two for each unit. A bio swale is proposed around the south and east sides of the expanded parking area to handle water runoff and maintenance will be handled by the property owner. Mr. See presented a rendering of the building along with a layout of the interior.
 
          Councilman Hanley questioned if there is a common hallway for all the apartments. Mr. See indicated on the plan the access doors for each of the apartments and stated in addition the bedroom windows will be accessible for egress if needed.
 
          Code Enforcement Officer John Gullo stated it is mandated by Town Code that each tenant have access to utility shut offs.
 
          Mr. Masters responded the gas meters have been moved outside and each unit has gas appliances with required shut offs, water shut offs and panel boxes with main breaker shut offs. There is a hot water tank in the basement that feeds into some of the units and a boiler system and some units have independent thermostats. Renovations for the additional units will include new electrical and plumbing.
 
          Councilman Hart questioned if the lower apartments are handicap accessible. Mr. Masters responded they are not and stated he could install a ramp in the front, but the property line only extends about 18 inches from the front of the building.
 
          Councilman Hanley questioned if Mr. Masters is doing the work himself. Mr. Masters responded he does much of the work himself, but he has hired professionals for some of the work (i.e. electricians and plumbers) as suggested by the town. He will also be trimming the windows and installing new siding.
 
          No comments were received from the public.

          Ayes: All                                     Noes: None                                 Motion Carried
 
          Attorney Sean Hopkins of Hopkins, Sorgi & Romanowski PLLC represented the developer, Kevin Curry, and stated his proposal to develop the 11.5 acre site at 4592 Seneca Street with construction of 31 detached single story patio homes on the north of the property and 14 two-family townhomes on the south side of the ditch that bisects the site. The patio homes will be serviced by private infrastructure owned and operated by a homeowner’s association and both the patio homes and two-family homes require a special use permit. Mr. Hopkins noted the project layout reflects input from the Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals as well as nearby property owners. The Zoning Board reviewed the project on three occasions and all required area variances have been granted. The Planning Board recommendations include: 1) 100’ of dedicated green space at the north end of the project that is subject to a deed restriction; 2) setback of the units on the north will be 190’; 3) stormwater management facilities were moved to the other side of the road; 4) density was reduced from 67 units to 59 units.  Mr. Hopkins noted the design of the two-family homes have the appearance of a single family home because there is a single entrance. He referred to a previously approved project for this site that consisted of 26 two-family homes and stated the footprint of the buildings for that project was 24 percent larger and the buildings themselves were 67 percent larger than the proposed project. Mr. Hopkins further stated the project meets the criteria for a special use permit as it is compatible with the character of the area and there is adequate parking and screening. They are also considering addition of a berm on the southern edge of the 100’ of permanent open space along with trees as requested by the neighbors. Mr. Hopkins stated the project is subject to environmental review and a wetland delineation report has been submitted. The applicant has agreed to four conditions as follows: 1) 100’ of green space on the northern portion of the project shall be preserved as open space with a deed restriction recorded in the Erie County Clerk’s office; 2) parking shall be restricted to one side of the road; 3) stormwater management facilities will be privately owned and maintained; 4) fully engineered plans will comply with the previous conditions.

          Councilman Hart questioned if Mr. Curry intends to apply for condo status on the project and stated he would like that added as a condition of approval due to the tax implications.
 
          Mr. Hopkins responded they have not yet decided if they will apply for condo status and are opposed to any condition restricting that. He further noted there is considerable case law that states the town does not have the ability to regulate ownership and this would be a form of ownership.
 
          Highway Sup’t. Matthew English questioned if the association will take care of garbage/sanitation and noted the town does not make weekly pickups for developments that have a homeowner’s association.  His department will pick up larger items (i.e. couch) as long as there is not a lot.
 
          Mr. Hopkins responded the sewers, stormwater, plowing, lighting and landscaping will be privately maintained along with the garbage.
 
          Councilman Hanley requested clarification on the number of homeowner’s associations.
