2. Hannaford Supermarket - Seeking 4 area variances on parking spaces, size of parking, rear yard setback
and building coverage. The property is located at the Wappinger Plaza and Myers Comers Road in the
Town of Wappinger.
Ross Winglovitz, Tectonic Engineering, Engineer for Hannaford is present for the meeting,
Mr. Winglovitz: The Planning Board considered a motion last Monday night for the resolution and the motion
~was not made. We are on the agenda for March 20,2000. We feel it will be complete that night. It does not
preclude you from holding a public hearing. It would preclude any action that you take. As you know we
circulated to the board, regarding the Lead Agency status. The Planning Board is the Lead Agency.
We did a parking study and provided it to the Planning Board.
Mr. Lehigh: I would like to have all the information ahead of time.
Mr. Winglovitz: There are 4 application that Hannaford made to the Zoning Board.
On Appeal 99-7031 there is 2 variances that is for the building setbacks and the building coverage. Appeal No.
99-7032 there is 2 variance that is for the size and number of parking spaces. Appeal No. 99-7033 there is 1
variance that is for the sign variance.
Mr. Lehigh: I don't think I want to put the sign variance on the same night. You will have to come in another
night and do it. We would like to see some pictures of the signs in color.
Mr. Winglovitz: The signs are the same but the building has changed. The look of the signs are still the same.
The other thing that this application has on it is the free standing sign, and we would like to withdraw that
vanance.
Mr. Fanuele: You are not going to put a free standing sign?
Mr. Winglovitz: At the request of the Planning Board we were asked to withdraw that application.
Mr. Lehigh: I think you will have to amend the application 99-7033.
Mr. Winglovitz: I will put it in writing. The application for appeal no. 00-7046 that deals with illumination.
Mr. Lehigh: I think your signs should be all together. That should be a different workshop.
Mr. Winglovitz: We can do that after the public hearing?
Mr. Lehigh: I would rather do it the 11 th of April.
Mr. Prager: Made a motion for a public hearing on March 28,2000.
~ Mr. diPiemo: Second the motion.
