R.
Blinebry begins with the letter response from Jefferson County Planning Board
for Dunkin Donuts. Bob Abbott presents a revised Final Site Plan that addresses
the comments given by Jefferson County Planning Department for Dunkin Donuts.
B. Abbott explains that pending DOT approval one drainage line has been omitted
that was placed in the Preliminary Site Plan. R. Blinebry is concerned with the
space between the Menu Board and the neighboring resident, will the sound of
orders being taken be a disturbance to the resident and the visual appearance
from the residents windows be a concern. R. Blinebry asks if after the
completion of the restaurant some type of buffer can be added if the resident
complains of the noise and view, B. Abbott, R. Clark and N. Saturno agree that
it will be addressed and some type of buffer can be added. Lighting is
discussed and pointed out on the site plan, with explanation of direction of
lighting and how it will not be a disturbance to the neighbors. R. Blinebry
advises B. Abbott that for reference the street line is being used regarding
the setbacks and the site plan meets setback along Bridge Street and Route 26.
R.
Blinebry asks if any of the board members have any comments or concerns with
the final site plan as presented. J. Onyon questions the drainage that might
run down in front of the Kent Burto property. B. Abbott doesn’t believe there
will be any problem, R. Blinebry responds that it shouldn’t be much different
than what currently is going along that area and DOT will decide and have the
final say if a problem will exist or be created as it is located in a DOT right
of way. No other comments from the board, R. Blinebry asks for a motion to
accept the presented Final Site Plan, motion by J. Onyon to accept, seconded by
P. Pierce, carried.
B.
Abbott will keep R. Blinebry informed of any DOT correspondence as needed.
