PLANNING BOARD MEETING
CANAAN, NY 12029


MAY 15, 2006


The meeting was called to order at 7:07pm. All Board members were present.

EXEMPT SUBDIVISION FOR JOHN AND BARBARA YOKSH AT 9 COLANE ROAD

Cynthia Elliot is the surveyor. She brought in an original survey map done in 1986 and another map filed in 1971 which was done by her father to show the parcel as it is before any proposed changes. The original map was done prior to zoning.

There are 3 parcels. One parcel (listed as parcel 2) is 2.66 acres and is on the southside of Route 295. The applicants want to add this to the parcel listed as number 3 which is on the opposite side of the road (this is .95 acres). This would total 3.56 acres. The third parcel (listed as parcel 1 on the map) has a house and other buildings on 1.62 acres. This parcel is on a separate deed. The applicants plan to sell parcel 1. Don said this is really a Boundary Line Adjustment since parcel 2 and 3 are bisected by Route 295.

Ms. Elliot presented a pin setting letter. Ms. Elliot said she was asked by the applicants’ attorney to only do an update and did not know she would be appearing before the Planning Board. Donna said they really did not need to appear before the Board. She said they could have sold the parcel with the house since it is on a separate deed. Ron said they were doing the correct thing by coming in before the Board since doing so would prevent problems in the future.

The Board asked Ms. Elliot to calculate one of the distances on the proposed map. The Board decided to move forward and then come back to this.

RESTAMPING OF A MAP DUE TO A NON-FILING FOR A BOUNDARY LINE ADJUSTMENT FOR JOYCE TALMADGE, JON SCHOR, ERIC LANE AND TOM SCHWARTZ ON CEMETERY ROAD

INFORMAL APPEARANCE BY ED DIGNUM, ED HARRINGTON AND ROB RUGEN


They presented a map for a previously approved subdivision from 1991. They explained the ROW that was approved needs to be changed due to the terrain being very steep. They are ready to move forward on this and are thinking of moving the cul-de-sac. However, if they do that they won’t have the required 350 feet of road frontage that is needed. Don said this would need a variance from the ZBA. This is all vacant land.

Ron said the applicants can create frontage (on interior lots) by creating an imaginary 60 foot ROW. The ROW area needs to be deducted from the acreage of each parcel it effects. Don read the driveway information out of the Zoning Laws which says within 100 feet of the ROW the grade can’t be more than 10%, the rest of it can’t be more than 15%.

The Board discussed whether there was an agreement between owners. Mr. Dignum said they have an informal association. Pierre said they need to consider a stormwater plan.

Donna said after looking at the map that this looks like a major subdivision. Ed Dignum said there are really 2 subdivisions, one with 6 parcels and one with 2 parcels. Ron suggests they remain on separate maps.

The applicants said they would only deal with the 1991 subdivision which has only 2 parcels. They will have to be resurveyed and new maps drawn. The maps will need to be presented to the Board. If the applicants follows Ron’s suggestion, it will not need a variance.

The Board will wait to hear from the applicants.

YOKSH BOUNDARY LINE ADJUSTMENT

Ms. Elliot drew a new line on the map to show parcel 2 and 3 merging.

REVISED SITE PLAN FOR RANDY GILLESPIE/GILLESPIE AUTOMOTIVE ON ROUTE 22


Don gave the history of the application. It was approved in 2001 with 5 requirements.

1. The display parking area for the cars that are for sale is limited to the 5 spaces drawn on the map.
2. The display parking is to be located South of the fence but a minimum of 25 feet East of the white line on Route 22.
3. No junk cars are allowed.
4. The number of the cars stored on site for sale or repair cannot exceed 15 total.
5. The parking for customers is behind the fence, not along the road.


Don continued with the history of the site plan. Don said in 2002 Mr. Gillespie appeared again before the Planning Board since he wanted to sell more cars. Former ZEO Stan Koloski sent Mr. Gillespie a letter stating he was in violation of his approved site plan.

Don said today (5/15) he went by Mr. Gillespie’s garage and saw 19 cars, 4 trucks and the truck flatbed. Don said the Board had asked for a letter from the current ZEO asking for the status of the site plan. The ZEO’s letter said Mr. Gillespie is in compliance and it was obvious to Don that he is not.

Don said he does not want to do anything and he will not vote for a revised site plan unless it gets into compliance. Don said Mr. Gillespie is not complying with the designated parking spaces on the approved site plan. Don said that site is worse than when Stan Koloski cited Mr. Gillespie.

Pierre said he wants something more than a handdrawn map. Don said he will write a letter to the ZEO. Ron said he doesn’t want Mr. Gillespie to waste the Board’s time.

The application is tabled.

Don said today (5/15) he went by Mr. Gillespie’s garage and saw 19 cars, 4 trucks and the truck flatbed. Don said the Board had asked for a letter from the current ZEO asking for the status of the site plan. The ZEO’s letter said Mr. Gillespie is in compliance and it was obvious to Don that he is not.

Don said he does not want to do anything and he will not vote for a revised site plan unless it gets into compliance. Don said Mr. Gillespie is not complying with the designated parking spaces on the approved site plan. Don said that site is worse than when Stan Koloski cited Mr. Gillespie.

Pierre said he wants something more than a handdrawn map. Don said he will write a letter to the ZEO. Ron said he doesn’t want Mr. Gillespie to waste the Board’s time.

The application is tabled.

MAY 15, 2006


The meeting was called to order at 7:07pm. All Board members were present.

EXEMPT SUBDIVISION FOR JOHN AND BARBARA YOKSH AT 9 COLANE ROAD

Cynthia Elliot is the surveyor. She brought in an original survey map done in 1986 and another map filed in 1971 which was done by her father to show the parcel as it is before any proposed changes. The original map was done prior to zoning.

There are 3 parcels. One parcel (listed as parcel 2) is 2.66 acres and is on the southside of Route 295. The applicants want to add this to the parcel listed as number 3 which is on the opposite side of the road (this is .95 acres). This would total 3.56 acres. The third parcel (listed as parcel 1 on the map) has a house and other buildings on 1.62 acres. This parcel is on a separate deed. The applicants plan to sell parcel 1. Don said this is really a Boundary Line Adjustment since parcel 2 and 3 are bisected by Route 295.

Ms. Elliot presented a pin setting letter. Ms. Elliot said she was asked by the applicants’ attorney to only do an update and did not know she would be appearing before the Planning Board. Donna said they really did not need to appear before the Board. She said they could have sold the parcel with the house since it is on a separate deed. Ron said they were doing the correct thing by coming in before the Board since doing so would prevent problems in the future.

The Board asked Ms. Elliot to calculate one of the distances on the proposed map. The Board decided to move forward and then come back to this.

RESTAMPING OF A MAP DUE TO A NON-FILING FOR A BOUNDARY LINE ADJUSTMENT FOR JOYCE TALMADGE, JON SCHOR, ERIC LANE AND TOM SCHWARTZ ON CEMETERY ROAD

INFORMAL APPEARANCE BY ED DIGNUM, ED HARRINGTON AND ROB RUGEN


They presented a map for a previously approved subdivision from 1991. They explained the ROW that was approved needs to be changed due to the terrain being very steep. They are ready to move forward on this and are thinking of moving the cul-de-sac. However, if they do that they won’t have the required 350 feet of road frontage that is needed. Don said this would need a variance from the ZBA. This is all vacant land.

Ron said the applicants can create frontage (on interior lots) by creating an imaginary 60 foot ROW. The ROW area needs to be deducted from the acreage of each parcel it effects. Don read the driveway information out of the Zoning Laws which says within 100 feet of the ROW the grade can’t be more than 10%, the rest of it can’t be more than 15%.

The Board discussed whether there was an agreement between owners. Mr. Dignum said they have an informal association. Pierre said they need to consider a stormwater plan.

Donna said after looking at the map that this looks like a major subdivision. Ed Dignum said there are really 2 subdivisions, one with 6 parcels and one with 2 parcels. Ron suggests they remain on separate maps.

The applicants said they would only deal with the 1991 subdivision which has only 2 parcels. They will have to be resurveyed and new maps drawn. The maps will need to be presented to the Board. If the applicants follows Ron’s suggestion, it will not need a variance.

The Board will wait to hear from the applicants.

Ms. Elliot drew a new line on the map to show parcel 2 and 3 merging.

REVISED SITE PLAN FOR RANDY GILLESPIE/GILLESPIE AUTOMOTIVE ON ROUTE 22


Don gave the history of the application. It was approved in 2001 with 5 requirements.

1. The display parking area for the cars that are for sale is limited to the 5 spaces drawn on the map.
2. The display parking is to be located South of the fence but a minimum of 25 feet East of the white line on Route 22.
3. No junk cars are allowed.
4. The number of the cars stored on site for sale or repair cannot exceed 15 total.
5. The parking for customers is behind the fence, not along the road.


Don continued with the history of the site plan. Don said in 2002 Mr. Gillespie appeared again before the Planning Board since he wanted to sell more cars. Former ZEO Stan Koloski sent Mr. Gillespie a letter stating he was in violation of his approved site plan.

Ms. Elliot presented a pin setting letter. Ms. Elliot said she was asked by the applicants’ attorney to only do an update and did not know she would be appearing before the Planning Board. Donna said they really did not need to appear before the Board. She said they could have sold the parcel with the house since it is on a separate deed. Ron said they were doing the correct thing by coming in before the Board since doing so would prevent problems in the future.

The Board asked Ms. Elliot to calculate one of the distances on the proposed map. The Board decided to move forward and then come back to this.

INFORMAL APPEARANCE BY ED DIGNUM, ED HARRINGTON AND ROB RUGEN


They presented a map for a previously approved subdivision from 1991. They explained the ROW that was approved needs to be changed due to the terrain being very steep. They are ready to move forward on this and are thinking of moving the cul-de-sac. However, if they do that they won’t have the required 350 feet of road frontage that is needed. Don said this would need a variance from the ZBA. This is all vacant land.

Ron said the applicants can create frontage (on interior lots) by creating an imaginary 60 foot ROW. The ROW area needs to be deducted from the acreage of each parcel it effects. Don read the driveway information out of the Zoning Laws which says within 100 feet of the ROW the grade can’t be more than 10%, the rest of it can’t be more than 15%.

The Board discussed whether there was an agreement between owners. Mr. Dignum said they have an informal association. Pierre said they need to consider a stormwater plan.

Donna said after looking at the map that this looks like a major subdivision. Ed Dignum said there are really 2 subdivisions, one with 6 parcels and one with 2 parcels. Ron suggests they remain on separate maps.

The applicants said they would only deal with the 1991 subdivision which has only 2 parcels. They will have to be resurveyed and new maps drawn. The maps will need to be presented to the Board. If the applicants follows Ron’s suggestion, it will not need a variance.

The Board will wait to hear from the applicants.

REVISED SITE PLAN FOR RANDY GILLESPIE/GILLESPIE AUTOMOTIVE ON ROUTE 22


Don gave the history of the application. It was approved in 2001 with 5 requirements.

1. The display parking area for the cars that are for sale is limited to the 5 spaces drawn on the map.
2. The display parking is to be located South of the fence but a minimum of 25 feet East of the white line on Route 22.
3. No junk cars are allowed.
4. The number of the cars stored on site for sale or repair cannot exceed 15 total.
5. The parking for customers is behind the fence, not along the road.


Don continued with the history of the site plan. Don said in 2002 Mr. Gillespie appeared again before the Planning Board since he wanted to sell more cars. Former ZEO Stan Koloski sent Mr. Gillespie a letter stating he was in violation of his approved site plan.

Don said today (5/15) he went by Mr. Gillespie’s garage and saw 19 cars, 4 trucks and the truck flatbed. Don said the Board had asked for a letter from the current ZEO asking for the status of the site plan. The ZEO’s letter said Mr. Gillespie is in compliance and it was obvious to Don that he is not.

Don said he does not want to do anything and he will not vote for a revised site plan unless it gets into compliance. Don said Mr. Gillespie is not complying with the designated parking spaces on the approved site plan. Don said that site is worse than when Stan Koloski cited Mr. Gillespie.

Pierre said he wants something more than a handdrawn map. Don said he will write a letter to the ZEO. Ron said he doesn’t want Mr. Gillespie to waste the Board’s time.

The application is tabled.

EXEMPT SUBDIVISION FOR JOHN AND BARBARA YOKSH AT 9 COLANE ROAD

Cynthia Elliot is the surveyor. She brought in an original survey map done in 1986 and another map filed in 1971 which was done by her father to show the parcel as it is before any proposed changes. The original map was done prior to zoning.

There are 3 parcels. One parcel (listed as parcel 2) is 2.66 acres and is on the southside of Route 295. The applicants want to add this to the parcel listed as number 3 which is on the opposite side of the road (this is .95 acres). This would total 3.56 acres. The third parcel (listed as parcel 1 on the map) has a house and other buildings on 1.62 acres. This parcel is on a separate deed. The applicants plan to sell parcel 1. Don said this is really a Boundary Line Adjustment since parcel 2 and 3 are bisected by Route 295.

PLANNING BOARD MEETING
CANAAN, NY 12029


MAY 15, 2006


The meeting was called to order at 7:07pm. All Board members were present.

EXEMPT SUBDIVISION FOR JOHN AND BARBARA YOKSH AT 9 COLANE ROAD

Cynthia Elliot is the surveyor. She brought in an original survey map done in 1986 and another map filed in 1971 which was done by her father to show the parcel as it is before any proposed changes. The original map was done prior to zoning.

There are 3 parcels. One parcel (listed as parcel 2) is 2.66 acres and is on the southside of Route 295. The applicants want to add this to the parcel listed as number 3 which is on the opposite side of the road (this is .95 acres). This would total 3.56 acres. The third parcel (listed as parcel 1 on the map) has a house and other buildings on 1.62 acres. This parcel is on a separate deed. The applicants plan to sell parcel 1. Don said this is really a Boundary Line Adjustment since parcel 2 and 3 are bisected by Route 295.

Ms. Elliot presented a pin setting letter. Ms. Elliot said she was asked by the applicants’ attorney to only do an update and did not know she would be appearing before the Planning Board. Donna said they really did not need to appear before the Board. She said they could have sold the parcel with the house since it is on a separate deed. Ron said they were doing the correct thing by coming in before the Board since doing so would prevent problems in the future.

The Board asked Ms. Elliot to calculate one of the distances on the proposed map. The Board decided to move forward and then come back to this.

RESTAMPING OF A MAP DUE TO A NON-FILING FOR A BOUNDARY LINE ADJUSTMENT FOR JOYCE TALMADGE, JON SCHOR, ERIC LANE AND TOM SCHWARTZ ON CEMETERY ROAD

The Board looked it over and found there were no problems.

INFORMAL APPEARANCE BY ED DIGNUM, ED HARRINGTON AND ROB RUGEN


They presented a map for a previously approved subdivision from 1991. They explained the ROW that was approved needs to be changed due to the terrain being very steep. They are ready to move forward on this and are thinking of moving the cul-de-sac. However, if they do that they won’t have the required 350 feet of road frontage that is needed. Don said this would need a variance from the ZBA. This is all vacant land.

Ron said the applicants can create frontage (on interior lots) by creating an imaginary 60 foot ROW. The ROW area needs to be deducted from the acreage of each parcel it effects. Don read the driveway information out of the Zoning Laws which says within 100 feet of the ROW the grade can’t be more than 10%, the rest of it can’t be more than 15%.

The Board discussed whether there was an agreement between owners. Mr. Dignum said they have an informal association. Pierre said they need to consider a stormwater plan.

Donna said after looking at the map that this looks like a major subdivision. Ed Dignum said there are really 2 subdivisions, one with 6 parcels and one with 2 parcels. Ron suggests they remain on separate maps.

The applicants said they would only deal with the 1991 subdivision which has only 2 parcels. They will have to be resurveyed and new maps drawn. The maps will need to be presented to the Board. If the applicants follows Ron’s suggestion, it will not need a variance.

The Board will wait to hear from the applicants.

YOKSH BOUNDARY LINE ADJUSTMENT

Ms. Elliot drew a new line on the map to show parcel 2 and 3 merging.

REVISED SITE PLAN FOR RANDY GILLESPIE/GILLESPIE AUTOMOTIVE ON ROUTE 22


Don gave the history of the application. It was approved in 2001 with 5 requirements.

1. The display parking area for the cars that are for sale is limited to the 5 spaces drawn on the map.
2. The display parking is to be located South of the fence but a minimum of 25 feet East of the white line on Route 22.
3. No junk cars are allowed.
4. The number of the cars stored on site for sale or repair cannot exceed 15 total.
5. The parking for customers is behind the fence, not along the road.


Don continued with the history of the site plan. Don said in 2002 Mr. Gillespie appeared again before the Planning Board since he wanted to sell more cars. Former ZEO Stan Koloski sent Mr. Gillespie a letter stating he was in violation of his approved site plan.

Don said today (5/15) he went by Mr. Gillespie’s garage and saw 19 cars, 4 trucks and the truck flatbed. Don said the Board had asked for a letter from the current ZEO asking for the status of the site plan. The ZEO’s letter said Mr. Gillespie is in compliance and it was obvious to Don that he is not.

Don said he does not want to do anything and he will not vote for a revised site plan unless it gets into compliance. Don said Mr. Gillespie is not complying with the designated parking spaces on the approved site plan. Don said that site is worse than when Stan Koloski cited Mr. Gillespie.

Pierre said he wants something more than a handdrawn map. Don said he will write a letter to the ZEO. Ron said he doesn’t want Mr. Gillespie to waste the Board’s time.

The application is tabled.
