INFORMAL DISCUSSION
Nazareth College: Parking Modifications
Ed Parrone, of D.J. Parrone Associates, said that Nazareth College has had an increase in the number of students who commute to campus and right now has a shortage of approximately 65 parking spaces. This new plan will provide approximately 130 spaces. Mr. Parrone showed the three different areas of the campus where they plan to redevelop to generate the additional parking spaces. The college has held several meetings to inform the neighbors of this project. Their biggest concern is the lighting.
Bill Brizee asked Mr. Parrone if they would consider moving the dumpsters and Mr. Parrone said yes. The lighting will be the same as the lighting scheme throughout the campus. The required one percent of landscaping will be provided. Nancy Sprenkle asked if the entranceway will have a two-way access and was told yes.
Clover Estates:
Chuck Ryan, President of Ryan Homes, stated that he is requesting modifications to the preliminary site plan approval of Clover Estates. The modifications requested are: 1) Ten additional lots/units; 2) A private road vs. a dedicated road; and 3) Homeowners' Association maintenance of ground and roads vs. individual homeowner and Town of Pittsford maintenance.
Bryan Powers described the proposed new layout. He described the entrance to the community as a brick- and-mortar stone wall and column system with a gate to provide security for the owners.
Bill Brizee reminded Mr. Powers that the applicant will have to submit a new application for the 29 units, not a modification of the previous approval.
Marty Brewster, Deputy Commissioner of Public Works, said utility locations will have to be looked at carefully. Mr. Powers said they would take the next step and make an application before the Planning Board.
Charter One Bank Proposal:
Malinda Gaskamp, of Sear-Brown Group, said that Charter One Bank is seeking to demolish their existing auto teller facility at Pittsford Plaza and replace it with an approximately 5,500-square foot, full-service bank. The siting of the proposed facility is in keeping with the Town's Commercial Development Design Guidelines, Monroe Avenue Corridor in that the main façade of the building will front on Monroe Avenue and will be brick. They have removed the parking from the front yard and the new parking has been designed to minimize impacts to the internal circulation pattern of the plaza. A 40-foot setback is proposed and some turning radius problems need to be resolved. The curb cuts have been reduced.
Bill Brizee said the Board will get together to look at several issues, such as the increased setback, customer and employee parking, public safety, snow storage and removal, overall traffic patterns, etc. Marty Brewster said that he would soon discuss this proposal with the Town Engineer.
