Site Plan
Mike Lundy – Lundy Development & Property Management, LLC – Modification to Site Plan of Lot VI at Washington Summit.
Mike Lundy submitted a modification to Lot VI at Washington Summit for an approximately 1,000 square foot addition. Discussion followed.
Motion 41-14: Motion by Mr. Boxberger, seconded by Mrs. Desormo that site plan review be waived for the proposed modification to site plan originally approved on June 3, 2013 for Building VI at Washington Summit for an approximately 1,000 square foot addition indicated by the designation of Suite 3 on plans issued May 5, 2014, prepared and stamped by David E. Mosher, RA, currently entitled Proposed Addition Washington Summit Building VI, Summit Drive, Watertown, NY. The basis for waiving this is that the project encompasses about 10% of the previously approved final site plan and the changes to the plan are minor in nature and enhance the approved plan, with the conditions that the changes to the storm water management plan indicated by relocation of the storm water basin clearly indicate that the new basin is larger or equal to the existing storm water basin in terms of capacity, the installation as shown on the modified plat of an increase in parking of approximately 25 spots, the designation of patient and employee entrance as shown on the plat labeled existing entrance for employees and main entrance for patients, continuation of the same elevations and color scheme from the June 3, 2013 approval, removal of the word proposed from the title block, and the addition of a general note on the plat stating that this is a modification to the original site plan approved June 3, 2013 with a revision date of 3/27/13 by the planning board.
Ayes All: Motion Carried.

Mike Lundy – Lundy Development & Property Management, LLC – Modification to Lot VII in Washington Summit
Mike Lundy presented modifications to a previously approved site plan for Lot VII in Washington Summit. The proposed plans call for an approximately 4,500 square foot modular building.
The board felt that the modular building’s aesthetics do not fit in with the other buildings at Washington Summit. Discussion followed.
Mr. Lundy will come back with plans that make the modular building more in harmony with the other buildings in the development. He will address a possible facade, landscaping, and submit proposed plans including elevations and a color rendering of the proposed building.
The board talked about scheduling a meeting to walk the grounds at Washington Summit regarding sidewalks. Mr. Lundy stated that Ryan Churchill from GYMO needs to be contacted.
A tentative date of July 7, 2014 was set to walk the grounds at Washington Summit before the regular meeting to discuss sidewalks.
Motion 42-14: Motion by Mr. Vaas, seconded by Mr. Boxberger to adjourn the meeting at 7:45 p.m.
Ayes All: Motion Carried.
