Mr. Taylor stated that a new MRI addition was completed and opened for business in April of 2015. Mr. Taylor described the proposal to convert the former MRI building which was built in 1992 and convert the space to be used for new administrative support offices and rotational office space for Northwell Health. Mr. Taylor stated that due to the proximity to the Emergency Department, the building will also have space allocated for a paramedic that will respond to emergencies in the community. Gordon Swartz questioned how long this arraignment will be needed and what will be the ultimate plan for the building. Glen Taylor replied that the space would be used as offices until the Hospital analyzes their needs and amends their Master Plan in 2017. �Dave Smith asked how big the building is. Glen Taylor was not sure but will provide the information; and added that there will not be any further expansion of the building. Carl Aridas asked if the change of use to office space still exempt the Hospital from paying taxes on the building. Glen Taylor replied that the change will not alter the tax status. The proposed offices will be for hospital uses and not Article 28 uses. Carl Aridas stated that the President of the Hospital came before the Planning Board two years ago and said that the building was temporary, and that it would be torn down. Mr. Aridas stated that if the building is to remain, architectural improvements should be made to the exterior to improve the aesthetics. Glen Taylor agreed and stated that capital resources can be allocated to make improvements. Chairwoman Santo solicited questions. There were no further questions. No action was taken. 2) Michelle & Gary McLean, 404 Old Broadway, Proposed delicatessen-Amended site plan Robert Gaudioso is an attorney with Snyder & Snyder representing the applicants. Mr. Gaudioso stated that the applicant is requesting an amended site plan approval for changes that were made during construction, including making the covered porch larger, moving the parking spaces and ramp, and removing the portico on the side of the building and replacing the platform and steps. Mr. Gaudioso stated that the revised front porch encroached one and a half feet into the front yard setback, and that the Zoning Board of Appeals approved the variance. Chairwoman Santo asked if the Village Engineers comments were addressed. Robert Gaudioso replied that the comments were part of the original approval and requested that they be made conditions of the approval; one item was to provide a photometric plan for the site lighting and the second comment was to provide wheel stops for the parking spaces. Mr. Gaudioso said it would be easy to comply with the lighting but requested that the wheel stops be eliminated. Mr. Gaudioso stated that the owner has built a nice stone wall in front of the parking area and didn't think the wheel stops were necessary. Gordon Swartz asked what the problem with the ramp was. �Robert Gaudioso replied that the slope of the concrete ramp was poured too steep so the architect is applying to the State for a variance. Mr. Gaudioso stated that if the variance is not approved then the owner will have to re-pour the ramp. There was an open discussion about the location of the ramp, handicap parking space, and location of the entrance to the store. Sean McCarthy informed the Board that the front porch roof overhangs about two feet into the parking area, and due to the low height a truck may back up and hit the roof. Robert Gaudioso requested that the requirement for the wheel stops be optional. Gordon Swartz clarified that the business could not operate until the ramp is corrected to the required slope or a variance from the State is granted. Motion was made to approve the amended site plan and direct the staff to prepare a resolution. Moved: McCarthy Seconded: Jones Vote 5-0 3) A&L Properties, 15 Katrina Avenue, Proposed subdivision/ site plan- Preliminary presentation John Hughes is the attorney representing the applicant and introduced William Simeoforides as the architect for the project. William Simeoforides stated that the project consists of the demolition of a single-family home, subdivision of one lot into three lots, and the construction of three two-family homes. Mr. Simeoforides said that the proposal will eliminate 3 street parking spaces and add a total of 10 off-street spaces. Mr. Simeoforides presented drawings of each lot and reviewed the lot sizes and building plans for each house. Gordon Swartz stated that he is concerned with the increase in the density, going from one unit to six and the loss of parking on the street. Mr. Swartz also stated that the Planning Board is responsible for approving the architecture of the building so a rendering of the project would be helpful. John Hughes replied that the project conforms to all requirements of the Zoning Code, and that density is consistent with the Webber Park neighborhood. Carl Aridas stated that the additional cars would need to exit onto Broadway which is a busy and dangerous intersection. �Chairwoman Santo stated that the cars could also go up Gordon Avenue onto New Broadway. Carl Aridas asked if there were any easements needed for utilities. William Simeoforides replied that there are no planned easements for the proposed lots. Sean McCarthy questioned if the electrical services would be overhead or underground. William Simeoforides replied that the electric services will be overhead. Carl Aridas asked if a tree survey was submitted. William Simeoforides replied that a landscape plan will be submitted which will indicate the trees to be removed.
