The existing structure and macadam/gravel will be removed from site and a detailed landscaping plan that includes size, species number of plants has been prepared.

Dollar General – Represented by Larry Marshall
Applicant received comments from NYS Department of Transportation (DOT) on the width of the entrance. DOT wants a narrower opening. Due to truck deliveries this could be an issue so the applicant will continue to work with DOT on a viable entrance. DOT also asked for road shoulder reconstruction however that is not necessary as the WWTP hook-up is on the site and the shoulder will not be disturbed.
The applicant is waiting for comments from NYCDEP on the stormwater plan and the board informed the applicant to contact the Catskill Watershed Corporation to explore potential funding assistance.
No sidewalks will be added to the site.
The aesthetics of the building should be improved and the planning board will like to see examples of other designs for consideration. Mr. Marshall will bring them next month.
General discussion of the proposed signage at the site. The applicant wants to erect a ‘lollipop’ sign. The planning board determined this type of sign isn’t suitable for the site & road and speed location. The applicant will provide designs for a monument sign on the site.
The applicant will continue to forward all correspondence for the project to the Chair. Average septic usage for the building is 30 gpd.
Dollar General will be back next month with the requested information.
4. Motion to adjourn the meeting at 9:15 pm by Joe Farleigh, second by Ed Hinkley. Motion passed unanimously.
Next planning board meeting scheduled for October 19, 2016 at 7:30 pm at the Roxbury Town Hall.
