1 PROCEEDINGS OF A REGULAR MEETING OF THE VILLAGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES November 14, 2017, 7 PM Present Mayor: Trustees: Building Inspector: Recording Secretary: Robert Corby Lili Lanphear Margaret Caraberis David Ferris Frank Galusha Paul Alguire Dorothea Ciccarelli / Kaitlyn Moranz CALL TO ORDER Motion by Trustee Caraberis, seconded Trustee Ferris, called the meeting to order at 7:00 PM. BOARD MEMBER CONFLICTS OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE Mayor Corby asked if any of the Board members had a conflict of interest or had accepted gifts associated with any of the meeting agenda items. The Board members indicated that they had no conflicts of interest to report. NON-MUNICIPAL USE PERMIT CHABAD OF PITTSFORD Motion by Mayor Corby, seconded Trustee Caraberis, to approve the non-municipal use permit and waive the 45-day notice for Chabad of Pittsford for the 2017 menorah lighting on December 13, 2017 in accordance with the conditions of previous years. SPECIAL USE PERMIT AMENDMENT - LOCK 32 The owners of Lock 32 returned with a stamped architectural drawing of their proposal. Trustee Galusha questioned the state of the parking plan, and the owners explained the use of Ted Collins parking spaces. They claimed that there will be no issues during their peak hours of 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM. Most of the traffic to the brewery is from foot traffic, bikes, or overflow from restaurants. The owners received letters from local restaurants in support of the plan, which indicated parking will not be negatively impacted. A total of 134 parking spaces were counted for the area. The owners also read a letter from Ted Collins, which indicated that he felt the expansion is logical and appropriate, as the business is not expanding beyond the previous use of the Game Gambit, and the Sam Patch boat tours will not compete for 6 months of the year. Ted Collins has been monitoring parking for the last 3-4 months and feels confident that parking will not be impacted. Both the Aladdin s owner and the Simply Crepes owner wrote letters expressing full support of the expansion. Neither business feels the parking will be an issue, and both indicated that peak hours of the brewery will complement their businesses. The Board requires a plan showing existing parking spaces and how many will be available to Lock 32. The Fire Marshal claimed occupancy is up to 99 people. The proposed occupancy is 89 people, but the 1

2 waiting area will fit more. That occupancy requires 23 parking spaces. Roberts Kitchens offered 14 parking spaces to the Lock 32 business. Deputy Mayor Lanphear suggested a condition for special permit of a lease agreement with Roberts Kitchens for additional parking spaces. Motion by Mayor Corby, seconded Trustee Ferris, to approve the expansion of Lock 32 microbrewery on the basis that it complies with condition A, adding the condition that in a period of 2 weeks, the Building Inspector receives a signed agreement with Roberts Kitchens, maximum occupancy will not exceed 99, and that the application conforms to criteria (A-H) of the Village Code. PROPOSED LOCAL LAW - MORATORIUM Statements from the Board: Mayor Corby Over the last 25 years, the Village has employed a series of planning best practices to transform the Erie Canal waterfront, stabilize neighborhoods, improve residents quality of life, leverage assets, and increase economic vitality. The vitality and physical quality of the Village we enjoy today is not an accident, it is largely due to decades of progressive and active activities from the Village government. The current Active Transportation Plan, Comprehensive Plan, Village Code update, and moratorium are the next steps in this ongoing effort. With past planning initiatives, the Village has sought guidance in developing the moratorium from planning, legal, and governmental policy experts including Natasha Phillips, at the Department of State, who provides guidance to municipal officials in planning and zoning activities. The Village must address community changes including the following: Changes in demand of retail, food, and entertainment businesses Demand for mixed-use developments Increased traffic and increased need for traffic calming Increase in stormwater runoff and new federal and state stormwater regulation requirements Transformation of the Village s canal waterfront into a popular regional destination has increased demand for biking and walkability The Erie Canal has been designated a national historic landmark Short-term rentals (AirBnBs) have become popular but are not addressed in the Village Code Village residents demands for services have increased Residents have become increasingly concerned about the walkability, safety, and bike ability of our community Traditional neighborhood design has emerged as the most successful proven tool to preserve and enhance town centers like Pittsford Village Trustee Galusha I would just like to cite the local law where it does indicate that the Village last engaged in a comprehensive revision to the zoning code in 1956, and it adopted the Comprehensive Plan in This is a major reason for the basis of this move. Trustee Ferris Since coming onto the Board this summer, this topic of a moratorium has been discussed for quite some time. Some people link this to the development and proposals on Schoen Place. If I believed it was linked to that project, I would not consider supporting it. But as I listened to people s comments, and I did appreciate all the turnout of people and the comments at public meetings, what struck me was how contradictory the different points of view people had were on both ends of whether to have a moratorium or not. And what that convinced me of is how complicated the decision making is. There are a lot of moving parts alluding to the Code, which is really outdated, and the Comprehensive Plan that has been underway for months with citizens of different aspects for a global view of the Village. 2

3 We have had all the comments from citizens as well, and petitions, so how do you weigh those? We had a petition with over 1,700 signatures opposing some things, but we don t weigh votes like that, we are trying to make decisions. The more I have looked at all of this, the more complex I realize it is, and we can t rush to a decision. Having said that, this is not to be interpreted that I don t believe in the development of Schoen Place. I think that something has to happen there. The proposal brought to the Board may be the correct answer for part of Schoen Place, but it s not the entire answer for that or the Village. We get comments from different merchants in other parts of the Village and residents, and as I said, listening to the public comments has really brought to my mind the complicated moving parts that are involved in this. Everybody on this board wants to make the right decision and do the right thing. This is not to block any project if we vote to support the moratorium. Mayor Corby I would like to cite the meetings that the village board has discussed the process that the Village is currently undertaking to update the Comprehensive Plan, update the Village Code of Ordinances, and use a moratorium as an interim measure. These meeting dates include: January 8 th, 2015, January 5 th, 2016, February 9 th, 2016, May 10 th, 2016, and June 13 th, Deputy Mayor Lanphear As with every decision I make as a member of this board, I like to carefully consider and I don t do anything without careful research, which I have done the past year as we have looked at this concept of a moratorium. And as with every decision I make, the Villagers are at the forefront of my decision making. That is what I am using for the basis of any decision I make this evening. Trustee Ferris We really have listened to people. We made a number of changes to the preliminary draft which was withdrawn. One of the major changes was a variance for hardship which is a way for a project to seek to go ahead if they meet certain criteria, so we wanted to leave that option open. We also made some technical changes that were minor, but came from listening to people express views. I do not believe the Board is locked in to keeping the Village as it is today, that s not viable or practical, but we want to make wise decisions as we go forward as to what should happen in the Village and how it will evolve, and we support that. Trustee Caraberis I would like to assure everyone that we have done careful research on the pros and cons of a moratorium. It is for us to do the right thing for our Village residents and come up with a Comprehensive Plan and code changes that will be very progressive for the future of our Village. Mayor Corby I have a question to pose to our attorney Jeff Turner: to minimize the impact, is it possible if one part of the code is updated, that certain things can move ahead? Or does everything wait until everything is updated and the moratorium is rescinded in one fell swoop? Jeff Turner You could amend the moratorium to be less restrictive over time. You would have to go back through the public hearing process. Trustee Galusha I am in agreement that something is going to be developed at that site. With this moratorium we are going to do a proper analysis of what needs to be done for the benefit of the Village residents. I do not doubt that something will be done there, we are just trying to make sure it is done properly. I am familiar with the issues of the 25 Schoen Place development regarding the moratorium and I am confident in my ability to vote on the moratorium. Motion by Mayor Corby, seconded by Trustee Ferris, to approve Local Law 5 regarding the moratorium for the Village of Pittsford. 3

4 CODE UPDATE SERVICES The Board met with Wendel Planning firm out of Buffalo who was recommended by our planning consultant as someone who has expertise in zoning codes. Board members were very impressed with this firm. It was clear that they need to write an RFP, and send that to at least 3 different planning consultants (Matt Ingalls (Ingalls Planning), John Steinmetz (SPG), and Wendel Planning of Buffalo). The highest priorities for the Board will likely be updating the site plan, parking requirements, subdivision requirements, commercial district zoning (including B-1, B-2, B-3, and B-4), special permits for restaurants and alcohol-serving business, and the performance district overlay. The emphasis for the updates will be traditional neighborhood design and walkability. A request for proposal will be sent out to companies that can fine-tune the codes. General Code is under consideration currently for the reworking on the overall code. The Board agreed to consider the 3 planning consultants and send out the request for proposal. BERO PROPOSAL FOR VILLAGE HALL RAMP Mayor Corby issued a thank you to Assemblyman Joe Errigo for the $100,000 to construct a handicapped accessible ramp to the basement of Village Hall. The Board has asked Bero Architecture for a proposal to design the ramp. Motion by Trustee Caraberis, seconded Deputy Mayor Lanphear, to approve the proposal from Bero Architecture for the design of a handicapped accessible ramp for the Village Hall. BID RESULTS VILLAGE BATHROOMS The Village Clerk informed the Board that a total of 3 bids were collected from Nichols Construction, Inc., Testa Construction, Inc., and Kuitems Construction, Inc. The recommendation to the Board is to go with Kuitems with the base bid of $46,000 and $9,100 for the alternate, totaling $55,100. Bero Architecture will be verifying that the lowest bid is fully qualified for the project. Motion by Trustee Caraberis, seconded by Trustee Ferris, to accept the bid from Kuitems Construction, Inc. for the total of $55,100 conditional upon a review of qualifications by Bero Architecture. ZAGSTER BIKE RENTAL The Village was contacted by a Village of Fairport intern regarding consideration of the Zagster bike rental program. The question was posed if the Village of Pittsford would also be interested in the program. The Village Clerk proposed meeting with Zagster to allow for a presentation to be made, especially due to the Village s emphasis on bike ability. The Board agreed to hear a presentation from Zagster and allow other businesses to give input on the concept. Mayor Corby also suggested reaching out to the Schoen Place bike shop to ask for their opinions. 4

5 POLICY AMENDMENT DIGITAL COPIES Due to the amount of paperwork received for various projects in the Village and the added costs of scanning large drawings, the following amendment was proposed for all Village of Pittsford applications for the PZBA and APRB: Please provide seven printed copies of all documents. All commercial applications will be required to provide a digital copy, and all residential applicants shall provide a digital copy for projects over $20,000. Mayor Corby stated that the standard for most municipalities is digital submissions, and it will make it much easier for the office to get information online and available to the public. An issue was raised regarding residents that do not have access to the internet or electronic versions. Residents could still request paper copies of large documents at a cost to the resident, as per the current policy. Residential projects over $20,000 already require a stamped architectural drawing, and therefore already have a digital copy available. Motion Trustee Caraberis, seconded by Mayor Corby, to add the verbiage regarding the requirement of providing digital copies for commercial projects and residential projects over $20,000 to application policy. ZONING MAP Michelle Debyah, the GIS Coordinator with the Town of Pittsford, has helped update the Village zoning map to reflect recent zoning changes and lot line alterations. Each time the zoning map is updated it must be approved by the Board via Local Law. Monroe County will need to be notified, which requires 30 days notice. Motion Mayor Corby, seconded by Trustee Ferris, to go to public hearing January 9 th for approval of zoning map alterations. MEMBER ITEMS Trustee Lanphear discussed the appointment of Ken Morrow to the Development Review Committee for the 25/35 Schoen Place project. Mayor Corby added a disclaimer regarding his conflict of interest with the project and recused himself from the discussion. The Committee was formed to review a presentation by the developer, after which time there was a retirement from the APRB. The open position was filled by Kenneth Morrow, but a simultaneous appointment to the DRC did not occur. Motion Trustee Lanphear, seconded by Trustee Caraberis, to appoint Kenneth Morrow to the Development Review Committee, which is in place for the 25/35 Schoen Place project. Vote: Corby abstain, Lanphear yes, Caraberis yes, Ferris yes, Galusha yes. Motion carried. Mayor Corby participated in the Executive Board of the New York Conference of Mayors and also attended the fall meeting for the establishment of the legislative agenda for A major topic of discussion was the proposed federal tax plan and the impact on municipalities in New York. NYCOM 5

6 requested that all members of NYCOM pass resolutions opposing the limitation on deductibility of state and local taxes because of the devastating impact it would have on finances in New York State. The other part of the proposed tax law, in the Senate version, is the elimination of historic reservation tax credits. NYCOM also opposes this because of the number of cities, towns, and villages that are seeing a resurgence in rehabilitation of historic structures. Motion Trustee Ferris, seconded by Mayor Corby, to adopt the resolution opposing the elimination of the deductibility of state and local taxes. 6 OPPOSING LIMITATIONS ON THE DEDUCTIBILITY OF STATE AND LOCAL TAXES WHEREAS Congress is considering tax reform legislation that would eliminate or severely restrict the federal income tax deduction for State and Local Taxes (SALT); WHEREAS this deduction, which has been in place for more than 100 years, is heavily utilized by residents of the Village of Pittsford; WHEREAS New York residents already send $41 billion more to the federal treasury than the federal government returns to New York; WHEREAS the state and local tax deduction is a fundamental principle of federalism and without it our residents would be faced with double taxation as they would be forced to pay federal income taxes on the taxes they must pay to state and local governments; WHEREAS this federal cost shift onto local governments would place extreme pressure on the Village of Pittsford budget, including diminished revenue for essential municipal services, including public safety and public infrastructure; and WHEREAS increased federal taxation and reduced municipal services will harm local housing markets, decrease home values, erode local tax bases, and accelerate the departure of New York residents to other states. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Village of Pittsford expresses its strong opposition to any federal tax reform legislation that would eliminate or limit access to the State and Local Tax Deduction and urges each member of New York s congressional delegation to vehemently oppose any such bill, and directs that a copy of this resolution be sent to Members of Congress and the New York State Conference of Mayors. Mayor Corby met with Steve Ferranti to receive the updated drawings of the revised concept proposal for Church and South Main Street, Monroe and Washington, State Street at the Library, and the varied crosswalk improvements on North Main Street. The Mayor will be bringing the drawings to Village Hall and they will be scanned for digital copies. Mayor Corby and Superintendent Zach Bleier met with Department of Transportation engineers. The DOT is repaving in the summer of Jefferson Road will be paved from Village line to Village line. Mayor Corby requested the addition of curbing between Heatherhurst Drive and the Sutherland Street light, the reconstruction of the East Jefferson gutter from east of South Main Street to the Village line, the addition of grass between the sidewalk and the curb, and the removal of asphalt between the edge of the road and the sidewalk between Eastview Terrace and the Village line. The street will be taken down and

7 the asphalt removed and the DOT will also be looking at the erosion of the bridge. The Board will be coordinating a date for public presentation. DPW REPORT Drainage issue on West Jefferson Road involving a resident at 7 West Jefferson Road that has had water infiltration in the basement for numerous years. A backflow valve was previously installed but the water pressure from the pipes/catch basin have broken it. There is a tile that drains the water into a pond then into a pipe to lead to South Main Street and Rand Place. Currently the outfall has not been located, and the catch basins are filled with standing water, indicating a plugged system. The DOT does not have records indicating who maintains them, so the Mayor and Superintendent will meet with the Records Clerk to find drawings of the drainage. Going toward Sutherland Street, a catch basin was repaired and a sinkhole formed. The area was just patched, and the pipe was not replaced. Before the paving project begins, the Superintendent will be attempting to obtain the camera from the Town Sewer Department to find the material the pipe is made from. The bank is starting to erode near the section of the RG&E right of way from Coal Tower dumpsters going east towards Victor Furniture. There is a wooden fence about 100 feet away, and it has been hit multiple times. The Superintendent is hoping to fix some of the bank erosion with millings, but the owner of the fence is unknown. The Mayor informed the Superintendent that the fence belongs to Al Longwell. The property line is at the base of the slope, and the chain link fence that was illegally installed by the Powers does not align with the property line. The Mayor suggested the maintenance as a spring project, but the Superintendent will be creating a temporary fix using stakes and reflectors in the meantime. The new streetlight has been installed on the corner of State Street and North Main Street. Holiday decorations: Thursday morning wreaths will be hung on the North Main Street Bridge. Friday or next week the tree at the Phoenix building will be put up and then decorated. The GFCI installed by Newcomb property and there should be plenty of power available to support the decorations. Next week the rest of the decorations will be placed. Reusable bows will be used on Main Street this year instead of evergreen wreaths. The wreaths will be placed in Schoen Place. Warm glow lights will be used for the poles and multicolored lights will be used for the tree. The gazebos will use blue lights previously purchased. Candlelight Night asked all employees to be available. Street will be closed between 4 and 5pm and will be reopened between 8 and 9pm between Church Street and the four corners. Mayor Corby Ryan Furber, from the fire department, had objected to restoration of the configuration of Church Street. The new plan that Steve Ferranti has proposed moves the yield to pedestrian sign to the other side of the intersection and moves the crosswalk in front of Hicks & McCarthy. Two of the parking spots are lost on the West side of Main Street, but two are gained on the East side, creating no net loss of parking spaces. The crosswalk will be in a safer place, with no conflict with the Burdett driveway, and the changes eliminate the need for cars to go around the yield sign. AUDIENCE STATEMENT Kerry Degenhardt informed the Board that all the buildings at the front of Schoen Place are going to be coming up on their leases within the next few months to two years. There are 4 buildings with 4 parking lots with leases ending. The hope is to obtain feedback and possibilities for the space. 7

8 Mayor Corby commented that the new Comprehensive Plan is looking at North Main Street and the uses that should be there, so working with the Comprehensive Plan Committee would be best. More dynamic businesses may be better on the canal. BUILDING INSPECTOR REPORT APRB 40 Sutherland Street pier was approved 36 South Main Street must return regarding the glass block windows 11 Washington Avenue window was approved 24 State Street sign was approved Violation notice is needed for 85 S Main Street because they have not responded to the violation notices that were sent.

Vote: Corby yes, Lanphear yes, Caraberis abstain, Ferris yes, Galusha yes. Motion carried. Planning Board Chase Bank: may submit a lighting proposal, but the Building Inspector does not think they are ready due to a lack of site plan. 56 Monroe Avenue gas station: has multiple garage violations. Mayor Corby and the Building Inspector will be conducting a visit to examine what needs to be done. 3 South Main Street: Bilco door is going to be removed, closed, and sealed off. 17 Green Hill Lane: gutters and paint will be taken off the list of violations because the owner has painted the front, fixed the gutters, and cleaned up the yard. 39 Courtney Circle: cedar shake siding was supposed to be repaired but has all been removed instead. A Stop Work Order was created, but in a conversation with the owner, it was decided that the cedar shake will be replaced.

9 We have concluded an initial review of the applications and are focusing this correspondence on the following items that are necessary before we can conduct a review of the applications for compliance with Village application requirements. For the purposes of this review, the proposed project is considered all uses, development, activities, infrastructure, etc. proposed to take place on all or parts of the following parcels: # s , , This is necessary to avoid segmentation under the provision of the State Environmental Quality Review Act. In addition to the items below, plans for each building s use, scope, intensity, size and location must be identified. Continued review of the application can be completed once the applicant provides these and Items 1, 2, and 3 below Subdivision: Sec B. (1) vests the Planning Board with the powers and duties set forth in Sec and of NYS Village law for the purpose of review and approval of subdivisions and which will be followed for review of this project. Sec B. (1) (3) Site Plan Approval gives the planning board authority to review and approve creation of new or additional lots, combining two or more parcels into one lot, and/or changing one or more lot lines on one or more lots. The submission materials do not include a map and supporting documentation as is needed to identify: The approximate lines of proposed lots, the acreage or square footage contained in each lot and the individual lot number., etc. as required in Sec (3) (m.) Application for Preliminary Site Plan Approval. Additionally, since parcel # (Powers farm) includes land subject to an agricultural conservation easement that contains a legal description and which prescribes allowed uses, the boundaries of that easement must also be shown to determine if the project is in compliance with the easement. This information is necessary to determine compliance with dimensional requirements specified in the zoning code. 2. Since this project involves a subdivision of land, the owner of parcel # (RGE) must either be a signator to the application(s) involving said parcel or submit legal documentation authorizing WilRelax to act on their behalf, evidence of documentation of purchase offer contingent on application approval, or partnership or other arrangement in the development of the project. 3. Page C100 (site plan) of the submission indicates that stormwater management facilities and other work related to the development is taking place on land subject to an agricultural conservation easement. The Village submitted the application and the easement to the NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets (NYSDAM) for their review to determine whether such activities were allowed under the terms of the easement and the grant which they made to the Town of Pittsford who acquired said easement from the Powers family. Attached is the response provided by NYSDAM regarding the use of conservation easement land. The application(s) must be revised to reflect their determination. Section B. Standards Conservation easement lands states, Properties included in the Town of Pittsford's Purchase of Development Rights Program shall be restricted to the uses described in the general provisions section of the August 11, 1998, conservation easement for said properties. which supports the terms of the conservation easement. (See attached correspondence from Michael Latham, Director, Division of Land and Water Resources, New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets.) 4. The New York State Office Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation s Division of Historic Preservation ( SHPO ) has concluded that the proposed development would constitute an Adverse Impact (both direct and indirect) under Section has recommended a more thorough exploration of the adaptive reuse of contributing historic buildings proposed for demolition. SHPO asked that the developer, WilRelax, explore alternative ways to retain most of the buildings or portions of the buildings with some removals. SHPO also asked WilRelax to address the visual impacts of the Inn/Hotel and Spa in an expanded alternatives assessment because it would introduce a massive new structure into the National Register Listed district s landscape and the National Historic Landmark s viewshed.

10 5. The Buffalo office of the US Army Corps of Engineers has responded to the Village of Pittsford s request for information regarding at least one stream flowing under the Erie Canal and onto the active farmland through the location of the proposed development.
