Mr. Woodbury briefed the Board members on the current site plan and what has not been completed. Dan Evans asked when the Church would have the current approved site plan completed.
Dennis Franklin and James
Hall, residents of Westbury Court, stated
that nothing had been done since the last meeting and they would like to see
the current project finished before the Town grants any more permits. They
provided a review that had been done by Bacik-Karpinski for the drainage.
Lengthy discussion followed on the completion of the approved site plan. Mr. Woodbury said he would not issue any new permits until the original site plan had been completed according to the plans.
Mr. Woodbury explained to Mr. Boardman what needed to be done and told him what he had discussed with the excavator concerning this project. Mr. Woodbury said he would like the Board’s authorization to work directly with Bacik-Karpinski to identify the issues.

1) drainage
2)
parking
3)
lighting
4)

fence and buffers
Mr. Erickson explained there were two changes to the site plan. NYS DOT requested that the water discharge go to Glidden instead of Fairmount Avenue. The second change was the location of the sign. Mr. Woodbury had told Mr. Erickson that the sign was within the minimum set backs area.
Neil Trainor, 15 Elmwood Ave., W.E., Jamestown, NY had concerns with their privacy. He stated they did not want the fence. They would like arborvitae and more green space. He also had questions on lighting, traffic and drainage.
Dr. Welsh said he did not care if he had the fence and was willing to put in arborvitae. There will
be no outside dumpsters and the construction will begin as soon as the financing has been secured.
