APPLICATIONS UNDER CONSIDERATION: 4. 05.057.2 BEAVER POND VILLAGE, 98 Geyser Road, final review of 85 lot subdivision in the Rural Residential – 1 and Urban Residential – 1 Districts. Applicant: Saratoga East Avenue Associate, LLC Agent: Dan Ruzow, Whiteman, Osterman and Hanna Chad Cooke, Boswell Engineering DISCLOSURE: Mike Perkins, recussed himself from this application, as he has in the past discussions on this application. Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman, stated tonight the Board will be discussing the Conservation Easement, the Open Space Management Plan and the HOA documents. Mark Schactner, Counsel for the Planning Board is here this evening as well. Mr. Mark Schactner, Counsel for the Planning Board, stated the applicant has presented to the Board and to counsel the remaining documents that are required for final subdivision approval. The documents are the Conservation Easement, the Open Space Managment Plan and the HOA documents and final subdivision maps. The Board has had these documents for several weeks. First and foremost these documents are very good thorough and detailed first draft documents. We identified no fatal flaws, nothing in the draft documents that leads us to conclude that these documents cannot be revised in a manner that I would recommend for adoption and approval by the Board. We have prepared some comments which have been presented to the Board previously as internal communication by way of memoranda. Hopefully, the Board has had a chance to review those comments. Many of them are fairly detailed, picky little technical type comments but a couple of them are bigger picture comments. These bigger picture comments are largely shared by staff, by counsel and by one Planning Board member who provided some comments in advance. The big picture comments largely have to do with making sure that the three documents Conservation Easement, Open Space Management Plan and the HOA declaration, need to better indicate how they fit together, the documents are not really stand alone documents, they can be but I feel they should not stand alone and they should better indicate how they fit together and how the property owner and the conservation easement holder and the HOA responsibilities jive and fit together in the context of each of the three documents. Proceeding in the most efficient way possible, if the Board is comfortable to continue is to authorize to send the applicant a version of the memorandum collecting all the comments together for the applicant to prepare a next generation set of documents. I will be very very surprised if the applicant and its project team views any of the City of Saratoga Springs Planning Board Meeting Minutes – December 22, 2010 - Page 4 of 12 comments as shocking, appalling, outrageous, deal breaking, etc., etc. I think that if we are authorized to send some version of our memoranda to the applicant I would not be surprised if the next generation document does not get us better than 90% of where we are comfortable that the documents do everything they are supposed to do. Discussion ensued among Board members regarding the memoranda from Mark Schactner, the Conservation Easement, the Open Space Management Plan and the HOA documents. Amy Durland questioned the subdivision restriction listed in the document. Mr. Ruzzo stated this is for protection purposes. You would need the holders permission as well as the City's. This is standard language the Army Corp or Engineers uses for districts around the country. It is to be clear if something were to happen they have rights. The City has its rights no matter what happens. Mark Schactner stated this adds another restriction on potential future subdivisions. It is what I call an internal restriction. If the holder of the conservation easement, the HOA, the private sponsor or whomever else involved in the decision making activity decides they want to further subdivide the property they can only do so if whoever holds the easement also affirmatively signs off on it. That does not mean that they can do so. They then have to come to the Planning Board. Amy Durland stated she understands, and that maybe standard language, but for our purposes I would like to have a better idea of what circumstances might arise for that situation. Mr. Ruzzo stated he will ask that question of the author and return to the Board with a response. Amy Durland stated in the Conservation Easement Document under the Subdivison Category the document further states nothing herein shall prohibit this subdivision...... and the area labelled on Schedule B, as future development area from the protected property, the future development area shown on Schedule D is not part of the protected properties. This brings us to Lot #85. I have raised the issue of Lot #85 for literally years in this project review. I have stated numerous times that a conservation analysis should be done on that property and that has not been acquiesed to. I now believe that some of Lot #85 has been deemed part of the conservation area and yet the Planning Board to my knowledge has still not received a conservation analysis for that lot. I don't know where the development of Lot #85 should be taking place if we have not conducted a conservation analysis on that lot. Isn't there a specific area that is designated as a development area? Mr. Ruzzo, stated there is an area that is carved out of the conservation easement but there was a conservation analysis done to the entire parcel both 209 acres, it is the large photo with all the details on it, that describes the lands and what it consists of. Amy Durland stated, you know for years I have been saying a conservation analysis is needed and I have it noted in many documents that I have submitted to the Board. It needs to be provided for Lot #85 and that has never been agreed upon. Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman, stated if this Board has not asked for it then it doesn't have to be submitted. City of Saratoga Springs Planning Board Meeting Minutes – December 22, 2010 - Page 5 of 12 Amy Durland, stated she agreed with Cliff, except that there is an area designated as an area of development. My point is I do not believe that that area can be designated until the conservation analysis has been done for that lot by our own regulations. Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman stated that is so noted. Amy Durland stated, in reference to the Karner Blue Butterfly Habitat section in the management plan, I personally would be more comfortable and would prefer that the section be reviewed by someone who has significant expertise in the management of the Karner Blue Butterfly such as the Wilton Wildlife Preserve or the State. My own comfort level would be that the perspectives, not just those of the biologist but an advocacy group for the butterfly might be useful and helpful for everyone to have some of the details worked out on the mangement of the butterfly. Dean Long, of the LA Group stated that Kathy O'Brien did comment on the entire plan and a lot of the details as far as where the the seed sources would be collected, how much clearing she wanted, and what was the density of lupines she wanted. The shading factors that she was looking for were all from Kathy O'Brien. There is sufficient detail there and she did look at this two or three times plus the US Fish and Wildlife Staff from Cortland had looked at it. They both participated in examining those portions of the Open Space Management Plan. The DEC permit was held up until they had conferred with Kathy O'Brien regarding the submissions on all of this. In fact when we had expanded some of the boundaries and changed some of the lots, we were involved with the DEC staff relative to talking with Kathy. She has had her hand in this regarding directing the LA Group. Chad Cook, Boswell Engineering gave a brief presentation on the phasing of the project. The applicant will be speaking with staff and counsel to keep this project moving in the right direction. 5. 10.058 SIROS, 168 Lincoln Avenue, special use permit for outdoor entertainment in the Institutional-Horse Track Related District. Applicant: Racing Restaurants of America Agent: John Carusone SEQRA: Project appears to be a Type II action. BACKGROUND: On May 21, 2002 the City Council rezoned this property from UR-2 to INST-HR. On June 19., 2002 the Planning Board issued a temporary special use permit for this site. That special use permit has expired. On March 19, 2003 the Planning Board issued a permanent special use permit for this property – primarily for the indoor eating and drinking establishment. Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman stated that the applicant is before the Board this evening to request an extension of those activities, such as an extension of Saturdays to 4-11 pm hours, and parking waiver. This permit is renewable each year. City of Saratoga Springs Planning Board Meeting Minutes – December 22, 2010 - Page 6 of 12 John Carusone, Attorney for Racing Restaurants of America. Racing Restaurants of America purchased the property in July of 2010. Keith Kantro and Toby Porter are here with me tonight. Siro's does have a permanent special use permit. The only portion which is renewable is the outdoor entertainment portion of it. Things have changed with NYRA. There have been days added to the meet, and the applicant feel that we should be given a little more than we used to have, in terms of the number of days which we did operate outdoors until 11:00 am. The applicants do understand that there have been some problems in the past and we are prepared to discuss those with the Board. Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman stated that neighbors have provided verbal and written comments regarding complaints of issues which continue, trash collection, noise abatement, fencing and re-orientation of the stage. PUBLIC HEARING: Peter Crowley, partner in CRDN Properties which is the largest property owner within that block. We received a letter, a week or so ago, mentioning the criteria for tonight's Planning Board meeting. I am here to speak on behalf of Siro's restaurant, and I welcome them to Saratoga Springs. Their patrons utilize our parking lot which does help us out. They are trying to help commerce and help the City of Saratoga Springs. Larry King, 126 Nelson Avenue, Saratoga Springs. We have been going through this for several years and we are trying to work through this. There are some issues which have not been compliant. They center on noise, parking, and garbage. Mike Belott, 132 Nelson Avenue, Saratoga Springs. They are very happy for the use of compactors since the location of the dumpsters in very near their property line. This should help with the noise and the smell. Sarah Bogon, 129 Nelson Avenue, Saratoga Springs. There are issues with non compliance. It is not so much the decibel level, it is playing on days they are not allowed to play, its playing beyond hours they are not supposed to play. We have two young children and the track season has been extended into September. We have children who are getting ready for school. They are getting up at 7:00 am in the morning. They are being kept up very late and it is very frustrating, for them and for us. We find trash in our yard and somethings you do not want to find in your yard. We have found people passed out in our front yard, urinating on our front porch at 2:00 am. We have called the police, so it is interesting that there is no log. Furthermore, we called the police during track season last year because a car was parked in front of our driveway. We were discouraged by the police officer to have the car towed. We were asked to keep it there until the person returned. These are the things that are happening. Norm Brousseau, 104 Nelson Avenue, Saratoga Springs. The one thing that bothers us is the parking. No one attends the parking lot once they collect the money. We do have people urinating on the fence. Someone should be responsible for the lot. John McMahon, attorney for Rose Tate, neighbor having property at Lincoln Avenue, one door down from Siro's. The application gave the impression that prior compliance with these regulations by the former owners was substantial and that is just not so. The idea that the police have not received complaints about the noise – I have a file full of complaints in my office. Mrs. Tate has spoken to the new owners and she feels the new owners should be given a chance to prove that they will comply with the regulations that are before you and are reasonable. City of Saratoga Springs Planning Board Meeting Minutes – December 22, 2010 - Page 7 of 12 Keith Kantrovicz, owner, explained the new owners position. We want to be good neighbors. We are trying to rectify the decibel level and do an honest business and be legal in every way. We are willing to work with the Board and with our neighbors. Philip Klein asked if the applicant could provide a decibel level of what does 75 decibels sound like. Some examples, such as a lawnmower, etc., and how can this be mitigated. If someone could identify whose property the camper was parked on. Is a twelve foot wall allowable in the City of Saratoga Springs? Kate Maynard will check with the police department regarding complaints during racing season in the Siro's neighborhood. Perhaps Kate can investigate how the City can enforce the 75 decibel level? Amy Durland stated she has some confusion regarding parking. There is some confusion regarding how much parking is provided versus how much parking is needed. Someone indicated that you do not need as much parking as you are paying for. There must be some way of analyzing what is needed based upon the number of customers. Perhaps the applicant when they return to the Board can clarify actually what the parking needs are and give the Board a better picture of what is actually needed. Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman stated this is not the time of the year to test how the sound carries, no foliage trees, etc., perhaps you can come up with Plan A or Plan B. Can this be tested in May or June before the track season begins. A dialogue has been started. Both sides will keep talking. The applicant has access to staff, and will notify them when they wish to appear before the Board again. 10:00 pm the Board recessed 10:05 pm the Board reconvened. 6. 7.081.1 FARRA SUBDIVISION EXTENSION, 417 and 419 Church Street, extension of two lot subdivision in the Rural Residential-1 District. Applicant: Michael Farra SEQRA: No additional SEQRA review is required with this proposed extension This 2-lot subdivision was filed with Saratoga County February 15, 2009, thus legally subdivided. Subdivision was filed with Saratoga County February 15, 2008, thus legally subdivided. Clifford Van Wagner, Chairman stated the applicant is here because of Subdivision Regulations: Article II, (1) E. "Unless an extension is granted by the Board, approval on any subdivision shall expire if the applicant fails to close on a sale of a single building lot within the subdivision with three (3) years of the filing date of the approved plat plan with the Saratoga County Clerk. The applicant may apply to the Planning Board for an extension of the expiration date of the original subdivision approval. The Planning Board may grant the extension only if the determination of the Board, in its sole discretion, finds that the reason for the extension is based upon extraordinary conditions, or conditions that are largely out of the applicant's control.” Applicant's request is for a 3 year extension of approval until February 15, 2014. There is no minimum or maximum time frame associated with extension.
