5) Open Door Family Medical Center - 300 North Broadway - Contunued Public Hearing
The applicant's attorney Geraldine Tortorella made opening remarks. Ms. Tortorella introduced
architect Gary Gianfrancesco and traffic engineer Michael O'Rourke. Ms. Tortorella addressed
concerns that were raised at the last Planning Board meeting. She summarized the signage,
gates, and the landscaping plan.

�The Board had no questions related to signage.
The Board had concerns about the types of gates being proposed at each of the three locations.
After discussion with the Board, the applicant agreed to the following changes.
-

The chain at 300 North Broadway will be removed.
The gate at 310 North Broadway will be a decorative aluminum glass overhead gate.
There will be no gate at 316 North Broadway, but fencing will be permitted.

Landscaping will be coordinated with the Department of Transportation and the Route 9 Project.
There was a Discussion about whether or not to permit left turns out of 310 and 316 North
Broadway.
Chairman Martone said that the Village should err on the side of caution by not permitting left
turns out of 310 and 316 North Broadway.
Ms. Tortorella said that she respects Chairman Martone's concern, but said that there is no
factual basis to support his position. Ms. Tortorella offered a compromise by suggesting time
limits or a temporary permit.
Mr. Aridas is concerned about the small margin for error related to the sight distance.
Mr. Jones said that C-Town prohibits left turns out of its parking lot, so why can't Open Door.
Mr. O'Rourke responded by saying that the C-Town lot is closer to the traffic signal.
Motion to open the public comments:
Moved: Martone
Absent: Mendez

Seconded: Aridas

Vote: 6-0

Ms. Tortorella suggested a compromise by permitting left turns out of 316 North Broadway, but
not out of 310 North Broadway. The Board was amenable to this.
Dorothy Handelman said that C-Town is not a fair comparison because there is a lot more traffic
at that location.
George Elomos works for Open Door and says that most of the patients walk and that there will
be a lot less traffic than expected.
Chairman Martone confirmed with the consultants are comfortable with the plan and requested
that a draft resolution incorporating the changes be prepared for the next meeting.
