Date Plan Received: 2/3/03
Lou Terragnoli presented the plans for the proposed project noting that the total green space for the plaza would be 20.1% and that the dumpster would be enclosed using the same brick as planned for the proposed building. The members reviewed the original landscape plan and compared it to the plan submitted February 3rd, 2003. They determined that the petitioner had a prior obligation to plant street trees for the east side of Orchard Park Road, west of the proposed building to help soften the area.
Mr. Yaeger made a motion as follows: that based on the site plan approval for the Tim Horton's structure the additional site development in that particular quadrant be completed at the same time. The Conservation Board accepts the landscape plan as determined above; all lighting is to be directed downward toward the site; any dumpster is to be screened; a Landscape Completion Bond in the amount of $6,626, or a certified check for 1/2 the amount of the landscaping ($3,313) is to be presented to the Town Clerk prior to receipt of a building permit. Approval is contingent upon acceptance by the Town Engineering Department of the drainage plan.
George Schichtel seconded the motion.
THE MOTION WAS UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED.
