So, I know he's going to be a great addition to us. So, welcome, Mike. Thank you.

So, we'll throw in the defense tonight. We have a public hearing and another agenda item. So, tonight our first agenda item is Oh, you know what? First, I forgot the minutes you sent. Everybody had a chance. I sent it out. Did everybody receive that? The minutes? Yeah, I got the agenda. I got the plans. No. So, do you want to wait till we'll wait till March if everybody didn't get a chance to see them? Okay. Okay. So, we will wait till March. Nobody else receives them? I didn't get them, but I had my own copy. Okay. I don't know what what when did they go out? Um, they went out uh I think it was Tuesday. Tuesday. Yeah, I think it was Tuesday.

Oh, no. Monday's Wednesday, right? Yeah. So, we'll just we'll push them till March and we'll resend them in case um they didn't get. So, I'll resend them um the proper tomorrow morning. Okay.

All right. So, that we'll move on from that. So, our first agenda is the public hearing for Belt Station Corp. It is a proposed office storage building at the corner of Con Road and Kings Highway. So, there is a sign-in sheet if we would like to speak tonight in the back of the room. So, just sign into the sheet so we can um speak your comments. So, I don't know if Zach or Brian I don't know who would you want to come up. So, if you want to come up and just kind of review where we're at and then we can move forward from there just for the podium where the microphone is. Um, we're planning on We're planning You ready?

We're ready. You're good. We're planning on building a uh 8,500 square foot um warehouse area on the corner of Pond Road and Laroo Road. It's going to u be kind of like one of the buildings on LK Drive, which um gives you an idea what kind of use it will be. Uh we're before the board now in hopefully the final stages and we'd like to move forward. Okay. Excuse me. That's not No, this is Oakwoods. Melissa, when Melissa gets a chance, that's that's the next I know I [clears throat]

Melissa, could we change this to Bell Station, please? Yes. This way you can get a visual of what it is. That makes it easier for me to explain. Yeah.

Good. Um, can you slide it that way a little bit so I can see the entrance from the road so people know where So the lower left corner zoom out. Yeah. Yeah. Zoom out. That would do it. Yeah, that's it.

Maybe try the next sheet down. Will that work? It's on there, right? Yeah, everything's here. It's just I could use that plan then, too, right? If I had to.

Most of the site plan is on there. So, let me just start with with what we have up there. And then we have another site plan here that shows the entrance onto Pond Road. It's all part of that same plan, but it's just not working. Um, you can see two arrows right right there going in and out. That's the driveway that goes out to Pond Road. Um, again, there won't be much traffic for this facility facility for this building. Um, it's going to have offices towards the front. And then we're hoping we have only one renter, but we can divide it up into five renters if we needed to. And it would be like for storage of a a plumbing operator would have his trucks there and then he would get there in the morning and they would go out to work and be able to pick up supplies from it, etc. Um, it comes out right on There you go. It's comes out onto Pond Road right there and the building is built back into the Shale Hill. Um, we're going to have a retaining wall that will be part of the building. We're going to have the building in darker colors like black with um gray with black trim so it kind of just blends into the woods in the background there. All of the trees that are along Laroo Road along that little stream running along there are all going to stay. So that'll be always a facade that kind of hides anything back there. Um the other road, Kings Highway, if you've driven down it, you can hardly see down into the site. You can see a little bit, but in the summertime you can't. So we're going to do that. And we're going to have a couple trees along the front of the building on the right hand side of the driveway going in.

Yep. Okay. So, uh, John, you don't have any comments because the plan set hasn't been revised since December and we've all given our comment, we've given comments and, um, like bullet points and I guess that they had recognized our questions for um, from the engineering company. They recognized them what's um, outstanding for us. So, I don't think that you have any comments to add to it for tonight, right? Well, it's the same same list that yeah, it's consultant basis that they would provide a future meeting. Okay.

And I the same I have given you all the comments that I had too and they had acknowledged the comments as well. So Chris, do you have any additional comments? No, I think they addressed everything you brought up. Mike,

yeah, I agree. Except one question. The wetlands uh markings, do they stay? They are they are flagged in the property now on the side that is uh relevant to the construction and we had the DEC um Matt come out from DEC to survey those flags and he was in agreement with them. We misunderstood and we thought that we didn't need to have DEC's uh letter of what is

determination um prior to this meeting. We thought that it would be okay. So, we had need to get the letter of determination and then we would apply for the permit. And from what I understand at this point that it would be not not a problem. Most all of the land or all of the land that we're going to be on was previously filled or disrupted by the former owner. Yeah. Um, there's even a pile of debris and cinder block out front that we have to reach in and just pull out because it's just a pile for no reason in the middle of the, you know, wetland area there. It's not actually in the wetland, but it's in the wetland buffer. So,

Gotcha. Would what my question is, would the buffer remain marked after construction? No, it's just they just flag it for reference and they put it on the site plan. Thank you. If they DC requires us to put up signage, we'll put up signage. Okay. Thank you. Yeah. U Mike, any no comments? Laura, everything's fine. Yeah.

Okay. So, at this point, we are going to go to the public hearing. Uh let the record reflect that the proper notices were sent by mail and the legal notice was published in the Times Herald record. This is not a question and answer period. Um although there may be a few questions that we will answer or the applicant will answer, we don't put any time limit on it. The only thing we do ask is that it's not repetitious. Like if somebody already asked that question, just kind of move on from the from that question and then we can um give you time to the applicant time to answer your questions at a later date. So do I have a motion to open the public hearing?

Second. Second. All in favor? Chris. Mike. Second. Chris. Okay. So, we have the signin sheet. And then so Veronica M, if you just want to come up to the podium and just state your name, although I stated it in your address. Hi, I'm Veronica M. Neighbors. I live at 426 Bellevale Road and it's pertinent that I live across the street from 435 Bel Road which is a warehouse that has been there for a very long time. Um I did want to ask these guys a question because it is pertinent to

well like I said you can ask all the questions or your concerns and there might not be an answer for you tonight but there will be an answer following the time period. All right. So, I was over past the area when I heard that it was going to be built over there and I saw quite a lot of debris. Um, there was a lot of um metal there as well. So, I was very concerned about that that there was storage there. It seemed to be storage there before there was even anything there approved. Correct.

Um, I can answer that question. That's okay. Um, we finished the castle project and a lot of elements that we had for the castle were in the way and aren't going to be utilized for this building. So, I moved the um ar joist and some of the I beams that we had at the castle over to that site to store them for a potential approval for the project.

Okay. So, it was a big concern of mine because living across the street from the other warehouse, I put in constant complaints for having outdoor storage, for the lighting. Um, it is a constant effort on my part. So, um, in terms of additional warehouses in the community, how are we going to support that? A, um, hopefully dark sky standards will be met, which means the lights are supposed to go down. Um, I haven't sent you guys the email, but I'll be happy to share the email with you. I've been working on it since September, late September. I sent in my last email with pictures January 21st. I've gotten no response from the building inspector or anyone on from the town, and I shared the pictures of what I have to deal with every single night. Well, I I appreciate that, but the project before us tonight is Bell Station. And as far as our planning process, we have a lighting plan in place. We have a landscape plan in place. We have the DEEC involved. So, we're following what needs to be followed so that when these plans are approved that it's to the liking of the town of Chester and the town engineer and the town I mean the planning board engineer and attorney.

So, my very strong question is how are you planning on enforcing it? So, our enforcement arm, as you're well aware, is the building inspector. That's the enforcement arm. But we carry it forward to what has to be complied with. And then when it is all said and done, like unfortunately your building, you probably moved in after the building was already completed. That's not an issue. I've just at least we have we're ahead [cough] of this and what needs to be done and completed. But we definitely understand what you're going through and we appreciate that people in the community want the community to be a certain way.

And my concern also is if there's going to be tenants there then how is that going to be what's going to be the overview for tenants because tenants changes it. People do things that owners may not agree with. Well, that would fall in the building department as well if it's something that's being um overseen by the building department. I'll continue to make my complaints to the building department as appropriate, which I have been doing and I will hopefully get some answers. Absolutely.

Um let's see what was the other thing. Um the other thing I strongly feel that any kind of if there is any kind of wetlands there, it does need to be signage there. um if you have you know it gets sold someone else has it suddenly no one knows where the wetlands are that's an ongoing issue as well. Okay. Absolutely. Thank you. Thank you.

Hey Tony you will come up today. Good afternoon. I'm Tony Tardello, 1838 Kings Highway, Chester, New York. My property is adjacent right next to where you guys are building. Uh, a couple concerns. If you pull up the the the picture of the actual building that you're going to build, you have three or four rendering

garages there, trucks. Your entrance from Pond Road onto Laroo Road. When you come left to right and make that turn, as soon as you make that turn, you have to make a right into your property. If you're getting trucks there, they're going to start to back up one way or another. That I think that if you show that that picture, I think you like only got like 15 feet for that driveway. You're going to need that that's going to be have to be expanded.

And if it does, probably going to come into my property. Maybe not. But again, that'll probably have to go to the zoning board. So, I'm concerned with that. And also the picture shows trucks coming in. You're coming in one way with the truck. They're coming in this way. These guys coming out going to have to back up to get in there. I haven't seen the the length of that. That's that's one concern because noise. We have no no noise. My house, by the way, is about 200 feet right there. I can look out my window and I'm going to see the back of your building, which is a very nice building, by the way. So, I was hoping [clears throat]

that the town would take into account that that's going to affect everything on my side as far as my site vision to that building from my primary residence.

I would respectfully ask uh the builder to consider that and maybe put some trees up right across the bottom or the back of the building that you're going to put up once it once it's approved. Uh, pretty much that's all I'm I'm concerned with. And of course, the height of that building, I couldn't figure out if it's going to be 40 ft or 30 ft. Again, I'm going to be able to see that it's going to be too high. And then the main concern is Pawn Road and Loo Road. That's we got trucks coming in there back and forth. That's about all I have to say. Okay. Thank you. Thank you very much,

Michelle. Okay. Okay. So, um just so you're aware that the applicant will take um questions or concerns for another 10 days. We'll make sure he gets them from our from the planning board and this way they can all be addressed at once. And then we have no um we have no other online questions and let the record reflect that no one else wants to speak for or against the application. So, are we comfortable closing the public hearing and accepting written comments for an additional 10 days from today? Right.

A motion to close the public hearing. I'll move Laura. Second by Mike. I'll second. Okay. All in favor? I. Okay. Motion passes. So, at this point, if we get more questions or concerns for the next 10 days, we'll make sure they're forwarded to you. And then if you feel comfortable for the March meeting addressing the uh questions that we got as well as the outstanding um questions and concerns that have come from us prior, then you let Melissa know and then we can put you on the schedule at that point. Unless you know, do you want us to resend those comments or questions to you or the outstanding questions? The ones that

right from John um just a quick email with refresh and that's good. [clears throat] because Brad had emailed and he had bullet pointed everything that was um discussed so that we sent back to him and then you'll have it fresh in your Okay. All right. All right. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. So, uh moving on to the next item is Brian's here. So, the next Thank you.

Okay. So, the next agenda item is um Oakwood subdivision, our 26 acre subdivision that we gave them, they were given a conditional approval July 2025. Last month we gave them an an extension while they await outstanding items to satisfy the conditional approval. So Ryan, you here discuss and request next steps. Absolutely. And um you could put back up the Oakwoods for Good evening. For the record, my name is Ryan Smith with Mccur Nort Marshall uh here representing the applicant. [clears throat] Uh while Melissa gets the Yeah.

with the uh plans up, [clears throat] basically the specific condition that from the resolution of approval that we're here to discuss is regarding the um proposed wetland disturbance on lot two. It's a very small amount of disturbance, approximately 1,600 square feet. Um and as a result of that we need approval from the Army Corps of Engineers uh and specifically a permit to be issued [clears throat] for that wetland disturbance which is merely for the installation for of a covert and a driveway specifically for lot two. We've made that application um to them as part of that process. There's a there's a 45day period where if if they fail to respond, the permit is automatically issued because it's something that's so small. Um in I think specifically beginning last year, uh Army Corps has started to actually respond and request additional information on these um these smaller projects. I think probably relating to the new DEC wetland regulations and making sure that um those steps are being uh formally [clears throat] processed before continuing on. Um but in any case it is creating uh significant time delays in getting approvals which historically have been fairly quick. You know a month and a half turnaround and you were granted the permit on on a very small wetland disturbance. um as as a result of the way that the resolution was was approved and and how um you know we we agreed to the resolution being approved. Um it it prevents the map from being filed uh until we receive this this wetland permit because of the time delays that are related to to getting that permit. um as well as the existing clearing restriction uh that's on the property which restricts clearing between March and November due to the uh potential

presence of um an endangered bat uh in the area. Uh we're running out of time to coordinate and actually complete the clearing on the site for any potential construction this year. Um so our intent um is to hopefully get the resolution amended um so that it allows the map to be filed once all the other conditions of approval including payment of fees and and everything are are satisfied. We can file that map. The hope is that um the the applicant and developer can begin clearing these lots uh prior to this clearing restriction coming back into place. Um, and you know, obviously, um, here to address any concerns or questions from the board.

So, Ryan, I'm going to pull up the email that you sent us. Sure. Because that shows it in the detail, [clears throat]

of course. [clears throat] Sure. So the the area in the bottom left uh in blue is the proposed uh wetland disturbance area and that shows where the driveway is going across the wetland um as well as the proposed crossing cover uh underneath the driveway. Like I said, it's a very minor um impact to the to the wetland um but obviously having a very major impact on on our time permits. [snorts]

Okay. So I see it as um twofold that it would need to be the resolution to be amended and also on the plan set there need to be a note that will state that lot two will not have any disturbance on it and will not be issued a building permit until or as soon as it is right. So JQ that would be correct if you did want to take the amendment yes basically include

because what can happen you know once the plaque gets filed is that the current owner would at that point be free to sell lots to anyone. So someone else could end up purchasing that lot without understanding exactly what they would need to do in order to get a building permit. Understood. Understood. We we take no exception to to you know putting restriction on lot two. Have you had any conversations with the board? Um

they have not given an exact time frame. Um which is I that could mean that we could get approval next week. I I I don't I don't know. Um but with the way that with the way that the it could also mean you know a month and a half, two months. um with the way that the time frames are going and and our potential to to amend this and actually complete the clearing um if we don't complete the clearing by the end of March, it's another year before we are able to actually complete that. So that's that's the that's the issue.

Can you complete the clearing with the Army Core permit outstanding? we can complete the clearing on the other lots, not lot two. That would be that would assuming the the board was okay with that once the map was filed that the plan would be to not complete the clearing on lot two or um we could potentially access that the rear part of lot two not through the wetland through lot one and just stay out of the wetland portion of lot two. could flag the the bounds of it, whatever the board was comfortable with.

I you know, I have a question in regards to this and this is my first time on this particular issue in this town, but not not to throw up obstacles, but is there a clearing permit that's needed from the town in order to clear the trees on these lots that you would also need to obtain? And and if so, like what's the like? I mean, have you applied for it and and what's the likelihood of you getting it between now and March 31st, which would be the deadline for removal of trees for for Indiana purposes?

Understood. The I I my understanding was that the application for clearing and grading um was a separate application if you were not already receiving a site plan review and approval. that basically this approval is satisfying the requirements of a clearing and grading permit for the subdivision for the subdivision. It's a I don't have the answer to that and every town is a little bit different because each town has their own codes as it relates to clearing and grading.

Typically what I've seen is that it's associated with a site plan approval and they don't have to file If they don't have approval from those require it, they have to file a separate yet. And if there's no planning board action necessary, then they have to file, right? And then it's up to the building inspector to determine whether he feels it's large enough to come to this board for any building the board. It's enough for him to right understood that that's a logical logical approach. So

this so the sequence of events if I if I just may so what you're asking the board to do as as the chairwoman summarized is modify the resolution to indicate that you know with the change on the plat itself indicating that no building permit will be issued for lot two until the permits are in place from the Army Corps for lot two and you'd have to add that note to the plaid. That resolution would need to be changed and signed by the chair and then you would need to pay any outstanding fees including direct fees. There would be a final plat review by the planning board engineer and then when he is signed off on it then you've got to file it with the county clerk's office.

Correct. And all that needs to happen well enough in advance for you to actually take the trees down between now and March 31st. Correct. Correct. It is it is a tight timeline. Um, so this is what you want. Yes. Yes. Okay. [laughter] Good summary. Thank you. Yes. Thanks. What if you never get that for for lot then it would not be constructable lot we created the lot based on so in that in that not saying that she won't get it

right right and and I I realize that it is very very likely that that as likely as it can be without actually having the permit in my hand. Yes, it is. It is very likely and yes, I guess that is that is ultimately a um possibility.

A possibility. Um I mean I I guess an alternate uh easement could be granted across lot one for for access, but obviously we will have moved past that on this at this point. So yes. Well, to to that end, I mean, perhaps John, a note to that effect saying that if that permit is never issued, they would have to return to the board for an amended subdivision approval where either lot two becomes subsumed with the with the, you know, one of the other lots gets merged or I'm just thinking his main his main issue, your main issue is the tree.

Correct. And it doesn't make sense like Dominic was saying to go for a permit for tree clearing to Well, I'm just in terms of time frames, you know. Correct. Yeah. The the timing for going for a specific tree claim permit, right? It wouldn't it wouldn't happen. Right.

Rock in a hard place. Yes, I I am aware. No kidding. I'm unfortunately aware. [laughter] It's always been the position.

I guess it's whether we feel comfortable enough putting that note on the drawing plus the following note about having to return to us if it isn't by some chance issued for you. Um, and we're not saying that you can do the tree clearing on lot two, not near the wetlands either, right? We're not giving that option. I wouldn't it would get very muddy. Lot two because until you get that permit, lot two is not a billable lot. Correct. And I think the note really needs to say that say lot two is not available lot unless and until permits received or an amended subdivision approval for right

I think that is uh it has to be very specific and very explicit in Yeah, [laughter] right. Because as soon as you grant one so if if and when the permit is issued they have to come back for an amendment to allow it to be buildable. No, what if it's issued it's fine then you're able to because under the your subdivision permit you would be allowed to go in but I mean the date March would be a pro you know an issue but if it they don't get the permit then they need to come back to us because it's based on lot two part of the subdivision

as far as documentation would the map need to be amended after the permit's issued to remove that note No, no, I mean they would show I mean it becomes a title issue. Um and so when they go to sell that lot uh you know there you know and that well they'll have to show that the permit was issued you know and that and bear in mind like those permits are are only valid I believe for a two-year period. [clears throat] So the more likely scenario I mean I'm not giving you advice but um but the likely scenario would be the actual this developer this subdivider should do that work.

Exactly. No and I I have already recommended that. I will continue to stress that. Yeah. Rather than selling it to you know some member of the public who decides to buy that lot and put up the house and then all of a sudden you know they're got themselves into having comply with a permit that they weren't wasn't issued to them and maybe they're not fully familiar with. So, yeah. Uh Mike, have any questions or concerns or um nothing beyond what's been mentioned? I'm sorry. Mike, the other mic. We got two mics. [laughter] That's always fun. Always.

Mike Mall. So, one possibility is that [clears throat] is that we agree um to allow them to build on three out of the four and our our action. Correct. Yeah. And I mean, I think the intent is that if you do this, the trees on the other three lots are going to come down in the next few weeks.

Mike No, I mean as far as as far as timing goes. So they would have to come back to the board in March, correct? To uh finalize. You're going to make revisions to the to the map uh so that we can review confirm before you can file. Correct. I don't know. They need to come back to you. Just going to review. Yes. So okay what you could do is you would you would send the note and I would review the note to make sure that it's [clears throat] exactly go that direction as discussed here okay

and then ultimately go down the checklist of the other conditions that he had to meet through the resolution they're satisfied then recommend yeah the board had if I may the board had previously approved this project and so there was no [clears throat] other than this request there was no obligation or opportunity for them to come back. Okay. Gotcha. They're only here because they want this. [laughter] Yes. Right. They [snorts] want to use this window here. Yeah.

So, so it sounds like, and I just want to make sure that I understand it because I, again, this happened a lot before I got on board. So, there's four lots, three of which can be built on as soon as you get the full approval. Correct. And you can file everything. This second one, lot two, is pending that permit. Correct. And so there would be a note on about that. There would also be a note that if you never got that permit, you'd have to reapply or come back and get some kind of accommodation for a different place for a driveway entrance or that lot would disappear and become part of another lot. Correct. Okay. Just making sure. Yeah, I'm good. I'm good with that.

Yeah. Um I don't have a problem with it. I think that we need to be very specific with our note and with the resolution so that there's no gray area that you know opens up to hurt you or to hurt. Right. So, um I understand you're between a rock and a hard place. So that it's I think we can we can accomplish this. But I would also just I would also include a note or correspondence to the building inspector so that he is aware specific just but inadvertently issued for this lot without knowing

you have somebody coming out to clear the lot that's not really schooled on what's going on and he ends up on lot two and starts exactly that could be a problem. So usually what happens is once um something is approved um from the planning board then the building inspector receives the resolution any deck site plan and everything like that. So that would incorporate what you're saying or I would just highlight highlight. Okay. It's not a run. Right. Okay.

Right. Because the thing that I the the question that I would ask is where could this fall through a crack, right? What what crack could this fall through where these fail safes that we're asking for would be missed somehow? And as long as we've buttoned everything up, it's the rest of the building. Okay. And he needs to be fully aware of how this [snorts] lot, right? Okay. And of course the notes on the plan the plan is filed and anytime property changes hands that that plan should be looked at by the title people by the a surveyors. All right. Just making sure that we've got the belt and suspenders in place.

And if [laughter] the board would prefer I I can copy the building department on all the correspondents with with the potential notes and and your your review and approval of those notes so they're aware this is being processed. And yeah, I mean ultimately that's true. Yes. But at least they're aware that something's [laughter] happening. Yeah. Yeah. It'd be good if my recommendation would be that the note is separate and not buried in a stack of notes. I'll read it. Lot big text. Big box. Put it Put it in Yeah. Put it in a box somewhere on lot two or something. M you don't want anybody coming to ask for forgiveness permission. So

that will be it. And so what we could expect to see is activity on lots one, three, and four if you get within the window that you can do that because you want to do that between your rock and your heart place, right? But we wouldn't see any disturbance on lot two unless that permit was issued. Correct. And until that permit is issued. Okay. and then we would receive notification that it has been. Absolutely. Excellent. Um, do we want to go through one more time if there's any questions or if anybody has any other concerns or have we addressed all of them?

I'm I'm good with what we've addressed. I'm good if we put it all specifics in place. So, Chris, you're good. As long as we're very detailed. Detail. I'm very for the detail. Yeah. Mike. Yep. I agree. I'm good. Sorry for the detail. Laura, I am good. Yep. So, I have a motion to amend the um how am I going to say this correctly. The

resolution I was just writing something up if I may. Um so, the board previously adopted a resolution granting both preliminary conditional final. The applicant's requesting a modification to uh condition number three uh which says that the applicant shall secure all necessary permits, approvals and authorizations required from all other agencies and that my suggested wording which I just finishing. So it now would read uh you would be basically be modifying this resolution to now read that the applicant shall make any required I'm sorry I've copied the wrong way. Um, the applicant shall obtain all the required approvals from all other agencies with the exception of the wetlands permit from the Army Corps of Engineers required for the installation of a culvert on lot two, which must be either obtained before any building permit is issued for lot two or disturbance uh to lot two. uh or in the event that such permit is not obtained, then the applicant uh will be required to return [clears throat] uh to the planning board uh seeking an amended subdivision approval. And notes to this effect, including the fact that lot two is not a buildable lot until this is satisfied uh will be added to the uh plat and uh also a memorandum to that effect will be provided to the building inspector. driveway.

So, basically, we're asking for a motion to amend the existing conditional approval as well. Do we need to state that uh as well as the notes changing or additional notes on the plans? I don't want to state if you would just uh perhaps make a motion to revise the resolution as I indicated might be the okay safest way. I'm not sure I could say it again. [laughter] I don't I don't think I said roll back the resolution. We can roll back. Do I have a motion to do what Dominic just said to do?
