VILLAGE OF EAST AURORA VILLAGE WORK SESSION May 16, 2016 6 PM Present: Mayor Allan Kasprzak Trustees: Patrick Shea, Ernest Scheer (present at 6:15 pm), Deborah Carr-Hoagland, Alfred McCabe, Raymond Byrnes (present at 6:25 pm) Absent: Peter Mercurio Also Present: Bryan Gazda, Village Administrator Robert Pierce, Village Attorney Shane Krieger, Police Chief William Kramer, Code Enforcement Officer Mayor Kasprzak opened the work session at 6:13 pm. Mayor Kasprzak noted that the Board members have all received copies from Clerk Treasurer Joyce Jezewski of the past appraisal report for the old fire hall at 575 Oakwood Avenue and that the Board should receive a new appraisal by the end of the week. The Board also received the building s environmental assessment from DPW Superintendant Matt Hoeh and the information from Clark Patterson Lee regarding the current condition of the old fire station and descriptions of the architectural problems that exist within the building. The Board proceeded to discuss whether or not the building could continue to have a public use, whether or not to put the building out to surplus, and what other ideas existed from the Board. Trustee Shea offered the idea of using the old fire hall as a police station if the space is needed by the police department and also if it is a practical and cost-effective option. Trustee McCabe suggested the building be torn down and replaced with some green space and additional parking; he did not feel that the cost to repair the building justified any other public use. Mayor Kasprzak noted that the Board in the past had considered the option of selling the building, possibly to a developer in order to get the property back on the tax rolls and to put the proceeds back into the budget to offset the cost of the new fire station. He feels that the Village should sell the building and not continue to maintain it for years. The mayor also noted that a past study indicated that the Village should keep their presence on Main Street, thus he did not want to see any of the municipal offices moved to 575 Oakwood Avenue. Trustee Carr-Hoagland noted that the parking could be used as a public use, as well as the possibility of leasing the parking to the senior center. Further discussion ensued regarding these ideas as well as the structural repairs that are currently needed on the building in comparison with the cost of demolition. Mayor Kasprzak added that the Village has already been approached by a couple of different people interested in purchasing the property. However, the Village cannot sell the property without first eliminating any possible public use. Administrator Gazda noted that the process for this included gathering ideas for public use, selecting the best, and taking those to bid in order to determine all costs. Administrator Gazda also stated that public notice of a sale of property is not required but is recommended by NYCOM, along with the option of holding an auction in order to help drive up the price.

Motion by Trustee Byrnes to go into executive session at 6:50 pm to discuss the proposed sale price of the old fire station at 575 Oakwood Avenue. Seconded by Trustee Scheer and unanimously carried. Motion by Trustee Shea to come out of executive session at 7:03 pm. Seconded by Trustee Byrnes and unanimously carried. Mayor Kasprzak adjourned the work session at 7:04 pm in order to go into the regularly scheduled Village Board meeting. Respectfully submitted, Catherine E. Gazda Deputy Clerk Treasurer VILLAGE OF EAST AURORA VILLAGE BOARD MEETING May 16, 2016 7 PM Present: Mayor Allan Kasprzak Trustees: Patrick Shea, Ernest Scheer, Deborah Carr-Hoagland, Alfred McCabe, Raymond Byrnes Absent: Peter Mercurio Also Present: Bryan Gazda, Village Administrator Robert Pierce, Village Attorney Shane Krieger, Police Chief Matthew Hoeh, Department of Public Works Superintendent William Kramer, Code Enforcement Officer Catherine Gazda, Deputy Clerk Treasurer East Aurora Advertiser East Aurora Bee Orchard Park Sun 31 members of the public Mayor Kasprzak opened the meeting at 7:05 pm followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. Mayor Kasprzak led the room in a moment of silence out of respect for the passing of Annette Wilton, the wife of former Zoning Board of Appeals member Frank Wilton, and to honor her memory. The Wiltons were also the donors the large, aged maps which have been hung in the foyer at Village Hall. Motion by Trustee Carr-Hoagland to approve the minutes from May 2, 2016. Seconded by Trustee Shea and unanimously carried. Trustee Scheer moved to approve the payment of vouchers: # 54138 54197 in the amount of $327,681.33 Seconded by Trustee Byrnes and unanimously carried.

PUBLIC HEARINGS Motion by Trustee Shea to open a public hearing at 7:08 pm to discuss the Development Plan submitted by Chubb Realty for 253 & 259 Main Street Additional Parking. Motion seconded by Trustee Byrnes and unanimously carried. Andrew Gow of Nussbaumer & Clarke, Inc., the engineering firm handling the site plan at 253 & 259 Main Street, presented an overview of the development plan on behalf of their client Chubb Realty. The site plan is a parking lot renovation and expansion which adds approximately 14 new spaces to the south of the property. Mr. Gow explained that the renovation addresses a parking lot that is presently in disrepair condition with broken asphalt and poor drainage. He noted that the presented version of the development plan is reflective of the garnering of information and input after meetings with the Historic Preservation Commission, Tree Board and Planning Commission. Modifications to the original plan include the addition of junipers, fencing in key areas to prevent light pollution, and adding a 3 landscape berm with pine trees to add a visual barrier for neighbors. Nancy Aungst, 262 Oakwood Avenue, spoke in opposition to the creation of new parking spaces at 253 & 259 Main Street. She noted that this would create a lot that has a total of 40 spaces when completed. Ms. Aungst felt that the extra parking is not needed since there is so much public parking available within a two minute walk in the surrounding area already. She noted that there is a goal to make East Aurora a walkable community and that she would rather see green space than additional parking and an impervious surface. She questioned how a new lot might affect the historic nature of the building. She also expressed to the Village Board her concern over a decision to allow new parking coming as a result of a contractual agreement for a new property owner to legally be required to provide parking spaces to a seller. Ms. Aungst stated that additional parking was denied to Pasquale s in their development plan when they renovated the restaurant because neighbors were opposed to the parking, and she requested that the Board show her the same consideration. She added that the new owners have removed vegetation and changed her view in her back yard. She showed pictures to the Board showing her new view, which now includes sight of Main Street, the Pasquale s sign, and bright headlights flooding her yard from loitering vehicles in the lot at 253 & 259 Main Street. She added that the plan for snow is a concern as well because water tends to pool in the area. Daniel Kieffer, one of the new owners of 253 & 259 Main Street, addressed Ms. Aungst s comments. He stated that a specialist has ensured that the only vegetation that was removed was that which was deceased or diseased. Mr. Kieffer explained that plans for a three foot berm with blue spruce pine trees on top would replace the box elder trees that were removed. In addition, the parking lot is currently sloped slightly upward, causing more light pollution from the headlights of vehicles in the lot to presently affect her property and the second story of her home. He noted that the proposed parking lot renovation, which would create about 14 new spaces (approximately 37 spaces in total) would properly level out the lot. This repair, combined with the berm and trees, would then sufficiently address her concerns. The drainage has also been addressed, redirecting the standing water issue. The site would be re-graded so that the water drains into a drywell instead of in all directions. He added that the contract to lease 15 parking spaces to the previous owner of the property (Pasquale s) was a non-negotiable part of the purchase agreement in his attempt to save and renovate the buildings at 253 & 259 Main Street, and that he receives no financial profit or incentive for this provision. Mr. Kieffer stated that his goal is to be a part of the community, and noted that he has invested a tremendous amount of money, time and effort in both

the restoration of the properties as well as the proposed development plan, which already takes her needs into account. Trustee Scheer sympathized with the loss of foliage; however he noted that they were box elder and lower quality trees. He inquired if the pines could have an additional staggered row of new trees added to the plan, however it was determined that there was not enough room at the edge of the property to do so. The tennis courts in that area may not be modified due to the historic protection. Planning Commission Chairman Dan Castle noted that the new property owners of 253 & 259 Main Street have met with the Planning Commission twice, and he thanked them for their willingness to go above and beyond with their investment into the properties. He agreed that he also does not like the contract for parking being part of a legal agreement as a condition to own the property. He added that he has been in Nancy Aungst s backyard both before and after the trees being removed, and noted that the impact is significant. He added that the original plan was to put a four foot fence there, but he believes that the landscaping is a nicer solution. Trustee Byrnes stated that moving forward with this project is the best way to resolve Ms. Aungst s current situation. He noted that if the Board denies the development plan, then she will continue to have the problems with drainage, a stark view, and headlights pouring into her yard. However if the plan is approved, then all of these issues will be addressed for her. Nancy Aungst disagreed and voiced her continued opposition to the new parking spaces. Trustees Shea and Scheer supported Trustee Byrnes conclusion. Trustee Scheer added that the designated parking spaces for Pasquale s could also face a different direction. Trustee Shea asked if one or two new trees may be added to the center island that runs between the two driveways on the property. This would serve as an additional visual shield for both Ms. Aungst s view to Main Street as well as the view of the parking lot from the Main Street side. Mr. Kieffer stated that he is open to doing so. Village Attorney Robert Pierce stated that the Village Board will not make a decision until after they have thoroughly reviewed all of the information and performed an environmental evaluation. Mayor Kasprzak added that the Village was also still waiting on a County Certification as well as the SEQR review. There will be no decision at this time. Motion to close the public hearing at 7:39 pm for 253 & 259 Main Street Development Plan by Trustee Scheer. Motion seconded by Trustee Byrnes and unanimously carried. Motion by Trustee Byrnes to open a public hearing at 7:40 pm to discuss the Special Permit Application submitted by Lisa DeCarlo of Urban Design, LLC to allow a restaurant and outdoor dining at 261 Mill Road. Motion seconded by Trustee Carr-Hoagland and unanimously carried. Lisa DeCarlo, 21 Creekview Court in East Aurora, addressed the Board and public to highlight the essentials of her request. She stated that her urban design store is the garage/warehouse-looking building right at the bridge on Mill Road. There is an old dam at the property that creates a beautiful waterfall, and they are hoping to offer outdoor seating with this scenery for anyone to enjoy, while serving coffee, Portuguese wine, and some small plates of food. She noted that there are currently 13 parking spaces available and that although 13 more could be created with some adjustments to a guard rail, she does not wish to over-develop the space but prefers to see what their needs will be.

Trustee Byrnes inquired about the office near the back deck that appears to only have one door, and Ms. DeCarlo explained that although the drawing may not be clear, there is an opening and passageway in addition to the french door leading out to the back deck. Trustees Carr-Hoagland and Shea expressed some concern of cars backing straight out onto Mill Road from the parking lot. Ms. DeCarlo stated that there are 5 parallel parking spaces in the front, and that the rest of the parking is deep enough to circle around. She also noted that they have not had any problems so far, and that no one is backing straight out onto Mill Road. Trustee McCabe stated that the parallel parking places in the front are the bigger concern, however Ms. DeCarlo stated that there is plenty of room to pull up into them. Trustee Carr-Hoagland asked if the spaces could be used as sidewalk space, and Ms. DeCarlo noted that they are currently planning to add a concrete walkway with a curb immediately in the front of the building while cleaning up and leveling off the asphalt that is there, and she noted that there is still additional room for maneuvering a vehicle between the lines and the curb. Motion to close the public hearing at 7:46 pm for 261 Mill Road Special Permit Application by Trustee Shea. Motion seconded by Trustee Byrnes and unanimously carried. Motion by Trustee Carr-Hoagland to waive the 30 day notice as required by the New York State Liquor Authority and to approve the Special Permit Application for 261 Mill Road as follows: VILLAGE OF EAST AURORA SPECIAL PERMIT Lisa B. DeCarlo dba Bica e Vinho, LLC 261 Mill Road THIS PERMIT MUST BE DISPLAYED AT 261 MILL Road Special Permit issued pursuant to 285-51 of the Village Code of the Village of East Aurora Issued To: Lisa B.

The Village Board of Trustees hereby reserves the right to revoke approval of this Special Permit in the event the owner of the premises in which the use is permitted is found to be in violation of any of the above stated conditions. Motion seconded by Trustee Scheer and unanimously carried. SPEAKERS & COMMUNICATIONS (I) Patrick McDonnell, 537 Oakwood Avenue: Mr. McDonnell asked the Village Board if any plans were yet in place to sell the old Fire Hall. Mayor Kasprzak informed him that the Board had just discussed the issue in a work session prior to the beginning of the Board Meeting. If the Village does decide to sell, they will first need to remove the public use purpose from the property as it is listed on the tax rolls. The Village Attorney will contact NYCOM first to find out if that can be done. The Village plans to act as quickly as possible. There is another work session scheduled for the next Board Meeting to further discuss this. Mr. McDonnell commented that it would be good to get the property back on the tax rolls. Daniel Castle, 215 Sycamore Street: Mr. Castle, Chairman of the Planning Commission, gave an update to the Board and public regarding the status of the Elm / Riley corridor study. He stated that the Planning Commission is hosting its second and last public meeting at the ice rink lodge on May 25, 2016 from 7:00 8:30 pm, open house style, in order to present the vision for the corridor and five general goals that have been established with community input. The primary goals are: (1) traffic and parking (2) land use and zoning (3) landscape and streetscape (4) improvements and walkability and (5) socioeconomic issues. A series of draft recommendations will also be presented in order to prioritize with public input what work should be done sooner. He noted that the municipality should be sure to not get in the way or hinder the growth that is happening in this section of the Village; he feels that the organic development that is happening in this corridor is terrific. He stated that the Village should focus on providing guidance to protect the character that is developing there and to improve on the traffic and transportation issues including pedestrian safety. OFFICIAL CONSIDERATIONS A proclamation was presented to former Trustee Randolph West in order to thank and honor him for his 14 years of service to the Village. Mayor Allan Kasprzak read aloud the proclamation as follows: PROCLAMATION

Town of Aurora Assessor Richard Dean addressed the Board with regard to a proposed exemption for Cold War Veterans. Currently, Erie County and the Town of Aurora both offer the Cold War Veterans Exemption. Based on the Town s Cold War exemptions, Mr. Dean identified which properties in the Village are affected by the exemption if the Village chooses to offer it as well, and what the tax impact is to the Village. There are presently 16 properties total that are affected. The Town has adopted a 10% rate, where as the County holds a 15% rate. At 10%, the tax impact to the Village is $891.39, and at a 15% rate, the total tax impact is $1,337.08 (for comparison purposes). These are funds that would not be collected in taxes from those 16 properties, and thus the uncollected tax amount would be spread amongst all of the other taxable properties in the Village. This is a miniscule amount of the total levy. Mayor Kasprzak noted that since the Board has just received the information, they need a little more time before making a decision. Administrator Gazda added that if the Village does wish to adopt this exemption, it is handled as a local law change. The Board agreed to address the exemption again at the next Village Board meeting. Motion by Trustee Shea to appoint Beverly Gallagher to a full time provisional Police Clerk position effective June 1, 2016. Motion seconded by Trustee Byrnes and unanimously carried. Trustee Byrnes: 1. Took some time to meet with Gary Grote, Executive Director of the East Aurora Chamber of Commerce, to discuss the various events and activities the Chamber hosts for the Village. He noted to Mr. Grote that the Village has approximately a 30% senior citizen population in order to see if there may be any additional events geared toward that particular population. 2. Attended the recent Planning Commission meeting as well as a training day at Houghton College on May 11, 2016. Three of the four classes were presented by the Attorney General s office and discussed the responsibilities of Village Board members along with the ramifications of the failure to perform those duties appropriately.
