New Business:
Application: #2020-5-Site Plan Review
SBL: 62.16-1-5
Location: 2071 Route 32
Applicant: Catherine Finley and Gavin Anderson
Catherine Finley and Gavin Anderson are present on behalf of this application. The applicants submitted a Site Plan Review application for a proposed acupuncture office on the ground floor and a two-bedroom apartment on the second floor of an existing building on a 0.2-acre parcel located at 2071 Route 32.
The following is discussed about this application:
- The lot currently is used as a single-family residence
- The parcel is within a B-1 Zoning District
- Katie has an acupuncture business on Main Street Rosendale that will be relocated to this property.
The Bergmann August Memo is reviewed:
- Single-family residential is a Use Permitted by Right and “acupuncture” is classified as SIC code 8049 and is a use allowed by Site Plan Approval in the B-1 district
- The names of all owners of record of the property in question and of all adjacent property and the lot, block and section number of such properties as shown on the Official Town Tax Assessment Maps should be added to the site plan.
- The proposed sign may be projecting into the New York State Department of Transportation right-of-way for NYS Route 32. If so, a sign permit is required from the DOT.
- Pursuant to §75-19(A)(1)(b) of the Rosendale Town Code, one (1) parking space is required for each 200 square feet of gross office floor area. The proposed office floor area is 915 square feet and as such, the proposed use would require five (5) on-site parking spaces. Additionally, one (1) space is required per each one family dwelling unit, for a total of six (6) on-site parking spaces. The site plan illustrates that the property owner possesses nine (9) parking spaces directly in front of and behind the proposed uses, thereby exceeding the minimum parking requirements for the property.
Motion made by Nick Mercurio, seconded by Jere Brown, to classify the project as an Unlisted Action pursuant to SEQRA, to declare its intent to serve as SEQRA Lead Agency and to conduct an uncoordinated SEQRA review.
