John Cusimano reviewed
the plans for the addition to his business at 2597 South Work Street,
Falconer, NY. Discussion followed between the Board members and Mr. Cusimano. His
plans were not complete but the Board decided to review the check list and list
the items that Mr. Cusimano needed to provide.
The Board reviewed the
site plan checklist noting:

the dimensions were
not on the plans or the set backs – discussion if Mr. Cusimano would need to
get a variance for the back yard set back
3)
topography was waived by the Planning Board
4)
the Board waived the
bituminous surface on the parking area because there is a septic system under
that area
5)

wall are shown on the plans
6)
no new signs
7)
outdoor lighting will
be security lights on the building
8)
ground cover is
already existing
9)
no retail sales
10)
projected
schedule - owner would like project
completed by winter

The items that were
missing from the plans and that need to be provided by Mr. Cusimano:

the dimensions of the
building and set backs
3)
the outdoor lighting
to be shown on the plans

Mr. Cusimano will decide
if he wants to request a variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals for his back
yard setback or if he will change his plans.
He will bring the site plans with the missing items to the June meeting.
Mr. George Means apologized
to the Board for being late. He
presented his plan to change the use of the building he owns at 3200 Terminal
Drive, Jamestown, NY to a limousine business. Dave Daversa, owner of
Fancee Limousine, will be purchasing the
property and running his business out of that location.
Attorney Wright
explained there is no problem in the zoning of the property because the zoning
was changed in 1986. Councilman
Hendrickson had research the change and found out that it just had been omitted
from the code book.
Mr. Means had vacated
this property more than a year ago so the Planning Board determined that they
had to have a site plan. Mr. Means
could find the plans from when he purchased the property and revised them or
have a new site plan completed.
Mr. Daversa stated that
they would not be doing any maintenance
at this location only the washing of the cars.
Mr. Hodges said that the
airport’s concerns would be addressed with the driveway permit lease the
applicant will have with the airport.
Mr. Hodges had some
questions on the location of the Aversa and Patric sub-division. He also asked if the airport could be
notified of any cell tower projects and locations that come before the Town.
Motion made by Ron Calanni, seconded by Dave Carlberg to adjourn the meeting at 8:10 P.M.
Carried. Ayes-4 Noes-0 Absent-3
