Others: Tyson Clayton, Ana and Ken- Washburn, Susan Frankenberg, Paul Williams, and Roscoe Strickland. The meeting was called to order at 7:30 p.m. by the Chairman. Item 1: Approval of the August 7, 1986 minutes. This item will be placed on a later agenda. Item 5: Preliminary site plan review submitted by Marion Clark for the Golden Skillet building. Property is referenced as Tax Map 40, Block A, Lot 37. Applicant is proposing to demolish the building and use.the property for other purposes. Material will be provided at the meeting by the applicant. 68 parking spaces will be provided in the front with staff parking in the rear. Brody asked if the existing run off problem had been checked by the Soil & Erosion control officer saying that anything over an acre was required to be checked. Poole—Kober suggested the planting of trees to break up the pavement.The ingress and egress points are required to be shown on the final plans. Page said that this review was scheduled on the Board of Adjustment agenda and all issues would be addressed. Item 7: Preliminary review of a bed and breakfast establishment for house located at the corner of Queen and Churton St. Applicant would like to have property rezoned to General Commercial to include a restaurant. Ann & Ken Washburn were present and told the board that the residential property was adjacent to property zoned Office Institutional on Queen St. They said that even though the house was located in a residential zone they felt it was a good location for this kind of business. The exterior of the house will not change. There will be 2 front room upstairs and a commercial kitchen downstairs. The parking lot will be screened and will extend either through to Churton or Queen St. The applicants said they felt it would be an asset to the Town. Goodwin said that the idea of a restaurant was good but that the location was unquestionable saying that other uses could be allowed in a GC zone. Brody said she felt it would be setting a precedent allowing commercial into a residential area.. Poole—Kober stated that she could not support the rezoning to General Commercial feeling that the area was inappropriate for commercial. The applicant said he felt the location was in keeping with businesses on Churton St since there were churches, filling stations and a funeral home all on Churton St, Rose said he felt it would be spot zoning since 3 sides are zoned residential. He said even if the church was zoned Office Institutional he felt it was more of a residential use. Goodwin said that the Office Institutional zoning for the church was a buffer for residential and commercial zones. She said she felt it would really be a hotel if there were both rooms and a restaurant. She said that a bed and breakfast establishment does not serve meals. Rose told the applicants that the idea of the business was not a problem just the location. Planning Board Minutes Page 2 October 2, 198& ' Goodwin stated to the applicants that they had a right to ask for the rezoning that these were only their opinions. Item 8: St. Matthew's Episcopal Church is proposing an addition to their fellowship hall. They would like the Board to address the height requirement and the parking situation. Susan Frankenberg and Roscoe Strickland were present to represent the church saying the addition was needed due to overcrowding. The existing building is 29'6" tall and is located in an Agricultural -Residential zone. The maximum height allowed is 25'. The applicants said to make the addition look proper in building structure it would need to be the same height as the existing. Rose said he felt a variance request would be needed and noted that the addition would not be enchroaching any further than the existing height. He felt it should be placed on the Board of Adjustment agenda. Concerning the parking situation Frankenberg said that the church building itself would not be enlarged. Poole -Kober said she did not feel that the addition would require as much parking as for the church. Frankenberg said they would also be using the Board of Education's parking lot. The Board felt that the parking situation was not a problem and that no additional spaces would be required since a less number of people would be using the fellow- ship hall than the church. Item 9: Recommendation on proposed ordinance amendments that went to public hearing on September 29. Amendment concerning skirting for mobile homes. Rose made a motion that the Planning Board recommend that the Town Board accept Alternative 1 for mobile homes, and that in addition to masonry skirting that ABS plastic color skirting with interlocking edges (keylocked) be allowed for skirting around modular homes. The motion was seconded by Page and carried. Amendment concerning setbacks. Goodwin made a motion that the Board recommend to the Town Board that the section on setbacks be adopted as written. The motion was seconded by Rose and carried. Amendment concerning signs. Goodwin asked if all of Section 8 (signs) had been adopted. The members remembered that certain sections had been adopted. Culbreth made a motion that the Board recommend to the Town Board that the section on signs be adopted as written. The motion was seconded by Rose and carried with one member opposed. Item 10: Parking situation for B & H Movie Rentals located at W. Margaret Lane and Churton Street. The Chairman said there is a problem with parking at this location, saying that the customers are parking illegally, backing out into traffic, making U turns 1 and parking in the right-of-way causing motorists not to be able to see. Planning Board Minutes Page 3 October 2, 1986 Rose made a motion that the planning board recommend to the Town Board (by letter with a copy to be sent to the Police Chief) that a traffic hazard is being created due to the establishment of B & H Movie Rental and their customers. They ask that the Town Board please review this situation with the Police Chief. The motion was seconded by Page and carried. Item 12: Review of placement of dumpster at restuarant at 137 N. Churton St. A complaint was received from an adjacent property owner who said that the dumpster and fence were placed too close to her property line. After reviewing original proposal submitted by applicant, the board agreed the dumpster should be placed in the original location as determined by the zoning officer. It was asked that the owner be notified of this. Item 2: Review of a minor subdivision for property owned by Roland Scott. Tax Map Reference 23.B.12. Applicant is proposing to build a smaller home for himself and rent the existing house. Comments made were: 1) the access road should be brought up to standards. 2) a culvert should be installed to carry water run—off from the existing pond. 3) the area is currently served by an 20" water line. The State will only allow for 20 homes to be served by a line of this size. The number of homes presently being served is not known at this time. Item 3: Review of a minor subdivision for property owned by Arthur Plambeck. Tax Map 20, Block A, Lot 10. The board stated that the required square footage for a R-20 district would be met as well as the required setbacks if the presented survey map is correct. Access to the back lot will be required. The main concern of the board was ownership of the property. Because of this the board did not feel they could make a recommendation for either a 30' road or a 50' road until this matter is cleared up. They did say that in the past a 50' wide road was correct as standard. Item 4: Review of a minor subdivision proposed by Gerald McPherson. Tax Map 17, Lot 22. The members were concerned that there may be a drainage problem in the area and felt that the area may have already been filled'in. They also were not sure what the applicant wasaskingfor. Rose made a motion to table this item and asked that additional information concerning the intended use for this subdivision be provided. The motion was seconded by Culbreth and carried. Item 11: Plans submitted by CCB to locate an automatic teller at Boone Square. Paul Williams was present and said that the unit would be free standing and would stand 1414" high and be 11'4" wide. Williams said that all signage would be on the unit and none would be required away from it. The unit will be placed in the area of Rigsbee Tire and Apple Tree and will occupy 2 parking spaces. Express 24 will be on top of unit and both sides and will be lighted. Page asked if the same entrance and exit for Food Lion will be used as access to the unit. Williams said they could or either the 1st entrance to Boone Square as you are coming from town. Planning Board Minutes Page 4 October 2, 1986 Culbreth said he felt the placement of the unit would relieve some of the congestion downtown but asked if there was an increase in traffic would it create more of a problem than what exists now. Williams said he did not feel this would be a problem since only 1 customer could use the machine at a time and only a few transactions could be performed by the automatic teller. Page said this item would be included on the Board of Adjustment agenda for October 22. Item 6: Committee Reports: There were no reports at this time. The meeting was adjourned at 10:00 p.m. Minutes reported by Janet Cole. 11
