VI. Discussions A. Myers Landing Proposed Development Christian Paggi presented plan for development at 51 and 55 Myers Corners road. He came to ask for permission to sit down with town consultants to hammer out underlying issues such as density, age, renting, zoning, etc... Supervisor Gutzler asked about escrows. Attorney Roberts said that they first must do a re -zone from R20 to RMF5. Councilman Bettina asked to send it to the planning board and have them set the escrows. Councilman Czarnecki asked if there was an application filed for the planning board. Mr. Paggi replied that they didn't. Councilman Beale said it appears as a spot zone, yet he believes in the concept. He was also concerned about surrounding properties on Patti Place and the adjoining lot surrounded by the project. Councilman Czarnecki said she is very interested in it as this is something that the town needs, but doesn't know how it would fit in without input from the planning board. Mr. Paggi asked if a formal application to the planning board was the next step and the board agreed. Attorney Roberts added that the planning board cannot act without the zoning in place. He said they need a formal application, pay the fee, and put up an escrow for the planner to look at it. Mr. Paggi asked if the application should include the frill EAF? Attorney Roberts agreed. Discussion concluded. B. La Fonda Del Sol Mike Meyers and Dave Stenger came to show a concept at the former El Fonda Del Sol site. They are looking to put in residential and the re-routing of Old Route 9. They said they will go to the planning board, but came to discuss with the town board first. Because they are proposing residential, a re -zone would not be necessary. They particularly wanted to discuss the concept of a turning circle that would move the traffic at the problem intersection of Old Hopewell road, Old Route 9, and Route 9. This would direct the traffic west to allow for a better flow and safer means to access Old Hopewell road. Engineer Bob Gray summarized that his is an exchange of property of old route 9 for a portion of their land that re-routes the traffic. Councilwoman Czarnecki asked about the cost to the town and the adoption of the road. The reply was no cost to the town yet the town would take over the road. Councilman liked the idea of a cleaner intersection and said we should at least explore this. He also asked about preserving the setbacks. The developer pointed out that they would not change what had been agreed to previously. Councilman Beale also liked the idea of not producing another plaza that may or may not be occupied. Councilman Bettina suggested bringing it to the planning board. Dave Stenger added they wanted to get buy in from the town board as the county seemed to like it. Engineer Gray said the next move is an amended site plan application. The discussion Town of lf'appinger Page 3 Printed 5/22'2014 Regular Meeting Minutes April 28, 2014 concluded. C. Cub Scout Pack 40 Trees for Tribs at Robinson Lane Supervisor Gutzler outlined the Cub Scout Pack 40 project saying that Cornell Cooperative had an initiative many years ago to plant trees along stream banks to mitigate erosion. This plan is to plant saplings and shrubs along the bank on the road leading to the sprout creek to prevent the flow of water from the creek. This will occur at no cost to the town and maintained by the Cub Scout Pack. Councilman Kuzmicz motioned to support it as Councilman Beale seconded it. VII. Public Portion A resident rose to ask about the excessive development in the town and its impact on traffic on all our roads. Supervisor Gutzler said that is why they refer development to the planning board for their recommendation for traffic analysis. She thanked the resident for her comment. Councilman Beale indicated that another 100 units will soon be operative and adding to area traffic. Councilman Kuzmics said that as a resident he too has to deal with the traffic and that they as a board must balance out the different interests. VIII.

Councilman Kuzmicz Councilman Kuzmicz asked Engineer Bob Gray for an update on Martz Field pavilion particularly when to expect completion. Bob Gray said we will be out to bid before the next town board meeting. He said he would like for it to completed in a month but if not he suggested that campers could be moved to Carnwath farms to expedite the constriction of the pavilion. We need to get the campers off the site while constriction is going on. Perhaps get it up and put the slab in at the end of the season. Councilman Kuzmicz asked about the porch at Carnwath and its update. Engineer Gray reminded Councilman Kuzmicz that the bids were over $20,000 and could not be awarded without going to bid. Supervisor Gutzler spoke with Senator Gipson's office who indicated that there could be a grant to fiend the project. Councilman Kuzmicz asked about controlling the speed with a lower speed limit on Route 376 and putting forth a resolution to the state to lower the speed to 40 MPH. Attorney Roberts indicated that the state needs more than just a request for reduction, i.e. accident data; and, that we need to beef up resolution. Councilman Beale reminded Councilman Kuzmicz that Route 9 has a 55 MPH speed limit south of Myers Corners. Attorney Roberts said he would consult w/ Dave Stollman's partner who might be able to get us some warrants in that area. Councilman Kuzmicz reminded everyone that little league opening day was this upcoming Saturday at 9:00 AM; and, reminded everyone about the Memorial Day ceremony at Schlathaus Park. 5. Councilwoman Czarniecki Councilman Czarnecki informed the board that Woodhill green has reserved town board room. 6. Councilman Beale Councilman Beale is concerned about seniors who want to dump without a license. He admitted that he doesn't know how to do it. Supervisor Gutzler promised to go through the notes that were Town of lf'appinger Page 12 Printed 522'2014 Regular Meeting Minutes April 28, 2014 taken when the town board came up with the riles and re -group to discuss it. Councilman Kuzmics suggested a time during the year for residents to have their brush and leaves picked up. Supervisor Gutzler asked the Town Clerk what went into the decision making process as a former Town Board member. The Town Clerk reminded her that he was not on the Town Board when the fees were designed and implemented. Councilman Beale asked about the WRWD sign facing route 9 and the many zoning violations that are evident there. Attorney Roberts said there was stipulation that he could keep up his junkyard and was filed with the county and approved. Councilman Bettina asked for the documentation regarding this decision. Councilman Beale warned against a possible fire at that location. He also mentioned the house across the street that had a falling roof. Engineer Gray said a remedy was coming in right away. Councilman Beale was concerned about the low opinion that outsiders could have of our town. Attorney Roberts indicated that this is a stipulation by a former town attorney over 20 years ago. X.
