Mr. Hotto explained that the concrete sidewalk will be replaced with
asphalt and painted stripes like a crosswalk consistent with Village standards. Mr. Hotto stated that the handicap accessible ramp will be modified with help from the DPW and that three Bradford Pear trees will be removed and replaced in coordination with the Victor Tree Board. Mr. Hotto stated that they did receive comments from Village Engineer JP Schepp of Chatfield Engineers and responded to his comments via letter. Mr. Hotto explained that they are in compliance with everything he mentioned primarily the requirement for pavement bumpers in front of the parking spaces to control people from hitting the building. Mr. Hotto stated that Mr. Schepp did have a concern about the parking coming out into the street but Mr. Hotto talked to him about the spaces being designated for employees so there will be very little coming and going. Mr. Hotto stated that the proposed spaces are not ideal for customers and that the addition of the proposed spaces will free up spaces by the front door for customers. Discussion amongst Board & Mr. Hotto of the parking plan rendering Ms. CHaides asked how the electric lines will be moved. Mr. Hotto stated that when the contractor begins demolition he will discover a few things plus the UFPO will indicate where all of the lines are under the pavement and there will be notes on the plans that will say that they will have to adjust those conduits if it s too shallow based on Village standards. Mr. Hotto explained that they could be three feet or two feet depending on the situation. Ms. CHaides asked if there are any drainage grates. Mr. Hotto stated that there are two grates that will be left at their current elevation and graded to make sure that they can adequately catch some drainage. Chairperson CHaides read the comments from the Victor Fire Department: Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the proposed site plan for adding 10 spaces to Mead Square Pharmacy. We have reviewed the plans and offer the following comments for the Planning Board's consideration: 1) The addition of this parking spaces does not significantly change our access of the roof, as we can utilize an aerial device in lieu of ground ladders should the need arise. 2) We recommend placing curb stops or similar devices to keep vehicles from striking or parking too close to the building. 3) The rear door would be utilized for rescue operations, and as such we request measures are in place to keep at least a 48" aisle from a paved right of way to the staircase. This will give us the minimum safety width we would need to carry victims from the structure.
We are happy to discuss our comments with the Board or the applicant as necessary. Regards, Sean McAdoo, Chief Victor Fire Department. Discussion amongst the Board and Mr. Hotto regarding Fire Department comments Mr. Kowal stated that the sidewalk is used by the daycare to walk to the Library and kids ride their bikes on it and that if cars park over the sidewalk it should be addressed. Mr. Criss asked who will maintain the proposed parking spaces. Mr. Casey stated that he will maintain it including plowing snow. Mr. Swan asked about water runoff. Mr. Hotto stated that there is enough pitch on the existing road so the water will go into existing inlets. Mr. Hotto stated that the road will not be changed at all so it will continue to drain to the inlets on the road.
