DISCUSSIONS:
ZONING CHANGE REQUEST FROM MIKE TARTAGLIONE
MIKE TARTAGLIONE- Expressed to the Board his interest in putting in an upscale boarding
kennel/daycare grooming and training facility. He is looking at some vacant land for sale on Dix
Avenue near Kenna Staffing. He has preliminary drawings to submit to the Board Members.
SUPERVISOR MONTESI-Explained the reason they are meeting is because this piece of
property is not zoned for this and Mr. Tartaglione would like to have it changed.
CRAIG BROWN, ZONING ADMINISTRATOR- The goal is to change the Commercial Light
Industrial Zone (CLI) to allow kennels. That will effectively change all of the CLI Zones, which
is by the airport, Warren Street, Haviland, a little area at the end of Quaker, Exit 18- Carey
Industrial Park, a lot up and down Corinth Road.
MR. TARTAGLIONE- The proposed facility is designed to allow for 75-80 rooms/cages. The
extra space will allow boarding space for people with last minute plans.
COUNCILMAN STROUGH- Asked about the noise it will create
MR. TARTAGLIONE- Explained that the dogs will be outside in their play areas during the day
but would be in their individual enclosed spaces at night. He has visited similar facilities and
they don't seem to make much noise. He is planning on a pre-engineered building with extra
insulation to keep it virtually quiet.
SUPERVISOR MONTESI-Looked at the drawings and suggested changing the entrance from
Dix Avenue to Progress Boulevard.
After further discussion on setbacks the Board advised Mr. Tartaglione to meet with the Town's
Zoning Administrator, Craig Brown to make an application with the Planning Board.
MAIN STREET ZONING REQUEST— STEVE BORGOS, MARK LEVACK AND
BOB SEARS
Discussion held with real estate agents regarding the Exit 18 Main Street Corridor and the
visions for the reconstruction of the corridor. Real Estate Agents noted that the zoning works but
it is very restrictive and needs to be modified noting that there have been interested parties but
residential properties can only be sold for commercial and they are also concerned with the
restrictions of the size of the buildings and how much space they could take up on a lot and the
large number of uses that are prohibited in the zone. After further discussion the board will meet
SPECIAL TOWN BOARD MEETING 08-26-2013 MTG #34 344
again in a workshop session at 6:30 on September 30t1i to discuss the increase of the allowed size
of building in relation to the lot that they are on.
