4. PUBLIC COMMENT
Lisa Meehan, 226 Washo Drive, lives directly behind Wickes Furniture. Ms. Meehan
took this opportunity to bring to the Board’s attention her concerns about this
development; most importantly the exterior lighting on the property, the very large
picture windows on the residential side, landscaping, and drainage issues.
Discussions with the developer have not led to any solutions and Ms. Meehan is
requesting the Village’s assistance.
Brian Rothas, 270 Washo Drive, thanked everyone for their assistance up to this
date and reiterated on the lighting issues. Drainage is his major concern since the
access road to Wickes is three feet higher than his and his neighbor’s backyard.
Anna Pekarski, 245 Washo Drive, lives across the street from the houses that back
up to Wickes Furniture. Ms. Pekarski came to support her neighbors as well as
voice her concerns regarding lighting, cedar fence, glass windows on the rear side of
the building, and especially hopes the drainage issues will be corrected. Property
values are also a concern.
Board’s Comments:
Acting President Tolomei questioned whether the large glass windows were part of
the original plan. Administrator Dixon concurred and they are looking for a solution
by adding a curtain, blinds, or window film to help reduce the lights. Mr. Dixon has
tried to contact the developer about the exterior concerns, but has not had the
opportunity to discuss further until they return from out of town. Shields will be
installed on the lights and the height of the poles will be reviewed. The Village is in
receipt of a letter of credit from the developer to ensure these items are taken care
of, including the landscaping. Public Works Director/Engineer Heyden stated a
concept plan will be installed to correct the drainage issues, as soon as the ground
becomes unfrozen.
Trustee Bondi agrees the lighting is too bright and sympathizes with the
homeowners in the area.
